Who needs affection when there's blind hatred? © / sleaterskinney

he wasn't meant to fall. koralie sorrell had orbited in the same arena's and air as ilia malinin ever since she could remember. they never talked. after all, why would they? they had nothing much common other than the love for ice. but... maybe that was enough. after all, the olympics were coming to an end-leaving two bored young adults with not much going on. 1. in #iceskating - 17/4/26

In which two figure skaters are forced to date despite their long time hatred of one another all because of an interviewer's ability to twist reality. Anastasia Jones, a twenty-year-old Russian, American whose number one dream is to become the greatest skater in the world. All she wants is to be remembered for great things, to not be forgotten in a world in which so many leave alone. Ilia Malinin, a twenty-year-old Russian, American whose goal in life is to revive the sport that is figure skating. He wants the arenas to be full, and the fans cheering like they did so many years ago. What happens when the pair are forced by their coach to do a press junket together and a certain interviewer twists their words to make dating rumours appear from thin air? After years of constant hatred and rivalry, will they finally be able to put their differences aside to rectify their images or, will they fail to deliver what's most important, leading to their inevitable early retirement? 🏆 #1 in #NF - 23/3/26 #1 in #Olympics - 23/4/26 #1 in #Ilia - 23/4/26 #1 in #iliamalinin - 13/5/26 #1 in #Skating - 18/5/26 #1 in #isabeaulevito - 20/5/26 #2 in #Quadgod - 3/4/26 #2 in # Amberglenn - 30/4/26 #3 in #Swiftie - 30/4/26
