    Summary

    there is a particular kind of cold that only exists in rinks built before anyone thought children's bodies deserved warmth.

    this is a story about that cold. about two girls who walked into it so young that they mistook it, for years, for the only weather there was. about how you can love someone entirely, uselessly, in a language that was never given the words to survive past the walls it was born inside.

    lord, i no longer believe — not in medals, not in mercy, not in the arithmetic of a scoreboard deciding who gets to be loved out loud and who has to silence it, over and over, pressing it into a safe. i believe only in this: that it happened. that the love was real. that somewhere it is still happening, on a loop, forever, in the girls they used to be.

    Summary

    “I could stare at your back all day.”

    Sasha has always watched Anna from behind:

    Drills, meets, through worlds and nationals, at the Olympics.

    Now, lying in bed, Sasha’s eyes still rest on Anna’s back.

    Summary

    Everyone remembers Beijing.Everyone remembers the medals, the headlines, the chaos that unfolded in front of the cameras and the people watching.
    But beyond the scores and the podiums lies a story few have bothered to ask about the story of the one who stood on top, the one whose silence was taken for strength, and whose pain was left to fade quietly into the background.

    She was the longest standing member of Team Tutberidze, the skater whose resilience (#sherbspowerofwill) carried her further than anyone expected. Yet behind the scenes, away from the arena, she was left alone and unseen, and unbearably dismissed. Abused in silence, burdened with expectations, her suffering was overshadowed, her trauma forgotten, replaced by newer scandals and new tragedies. She became the least talked about, though arguably the one with the heaviest story to tell.
    This fic is drawn from real events, timelines, and fragments of truth I’ve gathered, but it is still a work of fiction. Many of the relationships and personal interactions have been imagined for the sake of the narrative. Please assume that everything here is fictional, even when it feels close to reality.

    Summary

    The 2022 Olympics have ended—but the real story is just beginning.

    After standing on the podium with a gold medal around her neck, Anna Shcherbakova feels nothing. Not pride. Not joy. Only numbness. Behind her, Alexandra Trusova storms away in tears, the whole world watching as her dream of Olympic gold crumbles in front of her. “I hate this sport,” Sasha had cried. And Anna hadn’t known what to do.

    Summary

    When Sasha was nine, she was accepted to Sambo-70. Those were great news – she really had to train with the best, if she wanted to be the greatest figure skater in the whole world.

    There was a problem, though. She wasn’t accepted alone. There was this other girl.

    Anna Stanislavovna Shcherbakova.

    (And who would’ve thought that people could be just so annoying?)
