Reccer's comments: Happy International Fanworks Day!  Here is one of my favorites which, shockingly enough, no one has recced here yet, but I think it's one of egt68's best.  I adore this AU; it may be set on the ice, but the warmth and sweetness of this fic make it a pure pleasure to read, without ever tipping over too far into the saccharine.  Who doesn't love seeing Sherlock and John overcome the odds (and with the added bonus of figure skater!Sherlock)?  This is one of my go-to feel-good fics; reading it never fails to lift my mood, and that's no small thing.  It's a pure joyous leap of a story.

(Not a fic rec, but related: earlgreytea68 also wrote a great IFD guest post about the power of fanfic over here.)

Thanks for reccing this! Am in the middle of it, but I am smiling so damn much! Gah, soooooo cuuuuuuuute!!! This fic is truly deserving of squishy cuddles, even if there's shadows of angst here & there. No, wait, maybe /because/ there's shadows of angst, it's so cute!

Anyways, thanks again!

My pleasure, and thank you again for the delightful fic! :D I honestly got a bit teary over the OTW post; fanworks are so under-appreciated. <3
