Summary: [figure skating!AU] In which Minseok's pursuit of Olympic gold leads him to love, lutz jumps and Lu Han, though not necessarily in that order.
Notes: This was a project I began way back in March for the univero exchange but due to the stress of final exams and IRL stuff going on, I was unable to complete it in time. Rather than give up on the project, I thought I would finish it as a farewell of sorts to the kpop fandom before I move on with my life. I know I've always managed to find my way back to the fandom one way or another in the past, but I'm certain that this time, I shall be gone for good.
A special shoutout to my lovely recipient kojafras, who was so incredibly understanding about the delay. Thank you for the wonderful prompt and I hope I've done it justice. The choice to focus on figure skating was a little self-indulgent to be frank, but I did take a look at your Tumblr and noticed that you seemed to enjoy this wonderful art-sport hybrid as well. Apologies again for the wait and I hope you enjoy reading!
Foreword
More than I, if truth were told,
Have stood and sweated hot and cold,
And through their veins in ice and fire
Fear contended with desire.
from A Shropshire Lad by A.E. Housman
