Fics like The Space Between Landings

Two of Russia’s most promising figure skaters have shared the same ice since childhood. Rivals by design, inseparable by instinct. When a single fall fractures a training session and the control they’ve both relied on, Anna Shcherbakova and Alexandra Trusova are forced to confront what has always lived between them, fear, devotion, and a closeness neither of them knows how to name. - “You don’t get to protect me,” Anna says. There’s no softness in it, no cruelty either, just truth edged with restraint. Sasha finally looks at her. Up close, Anna is aware of familiar things she never lets herself linger on, the warmth of Sasha’s presence, the faint scent she’s carried since they were younger, colder rinks, earlier mornings. Sasha’s gaze flickers over her face, searching, like she’s checking for damage no one else would notice. “I know,” Sasha says again, quietly. “But I couldn’t stand there and watch them turn you into something fragile the second you slipped.”
