Relationship: Katelena

Summary: Kate is down on her luck after a tragedy during the Grand Prix Finals. She was inspired to skate competitively ever since she saw Yelena Belova win gold in the 2014 winter Olympics, but now she is unsure of her dreams and her future.

The anniversary of her sister's passing brings Yelena back to New York. The 27-year-old retired prodigy is taken by surprise when she is tagged in a video of a 21 year-old rookie skater, Kate Bishop, dancing to her 2014 performance in Sochi, Russia.

The ice calls to Kate.
Like a moth drawn to flame, searching for something bright, Yelena follows her.

Fav Quote(s):

"Don't fall into the U-Haul lesbian stereotype, Kate. We're better than this."

"That's so gay. Smells a little fruity in here."

"What is that noise and why does it sound like a raccoon is dying?"

"Give you what you deserve. Let me adore you."

My Comments/Thoughts: Kate and Yelena as competitive ice skaters is a concept I didn't think I needed until I read this. It also touches on deep subjects that both characters go through, not only touching upon being ice skaters which is really nice because it adds so much to the characters.
