icing those hurts

by Drhair76, plantform

“And everyone is so old,” Tubbo complains. Somehow, without them knowing about it, Tubbo’s managed to swipe a waffle and is chewing on it happily. Sapnap stifles a laugh. “Well, not everyone, I guess- the kid in our room is our age, I think. He might be younger.”

Wilbur perks up. “Does he ice skate?”

“Yeah, he does. He’s got these sick skates and everything.” Tubbo explains. “He’s quiet though. We tried talking to him, but…”

“But?”

Tubbo shrugs. "He's quiet. He doesn't talk much. I guess he's busy."

or, Tommy's made it to the Olympics for figure skating- he's the youngest contestant on the ice and he's the favor for the gold. He's supposed to be living the dream. So why is he still so unhappy? And why do all these hockey players and snowboarders care so much about him?

boys, I had a breakdown. It was great, I've read a lot of fanfics but this one was perfect, I have nothing to complain about, I cried and I'm still crying and I think I got diabetes from those sweet scenes. I just want to say that this was the best experience of my life and although it was short, when I started I couldn't stop, I feel fulfilled and in addition, unlike other fanfics, there is no person from smp who would annoy me, for example Jschlatt who is a bitch in every fanfics and here he was just as lovable as everyone else. I feel like watching figure skating after this I just want to say that you have to read it and I don't care if you even know what dsmp is, you will love this story anyway because the theme of wanting to be the best is addictive and doesn't let you away. I'm at a loss for words and I don't even know how to describe it all, 5 stars is simply not enough for something like this.

[Ember Dusk · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Kira Ragan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Amazing. Beautiful. It's sad but it has a good ending. I love how Wilbur looks at Tommy once and goes, "Oh, a traumatized child. Oh well. He is mine now."

Lo leí por primera vez en 2023 y sigue haciéndome llorar como esa noche de Mayo en la que lo descubrí.
