Clara woke up late into the morning to an empty bed but a note scribbled onto the pad of paper that sat on the side table.
‘Went to practice. See you for lunch.
Yuri’
Clara smiled and buried her face back into the pillow. Her head still ached and her body felt heavy. Part of her was glad she wasn't the one performing tonight as she had lost several rounds to the blankets during the night. After a few more minutes she managed to hoist herself up to sit on the bed. She looked around the room and she ran her fingers through her hair. Clara sighed and picked up her phone, turning it back on. At some point during the night Yuri had t

Classical music filled Clara’s ears as her blades struck the ice as she practiced the step sequences of her short program, skillfully avoiding the children ahead of her. Some slowed to a stop to watch her from the barrier with wide eyes and huge smiles. A warmth sparked within her as she did a triple axel. She could hear their gasps even through her music. Maybe it was a bit vain, but she enjoyed showing off in front of kids. Their sparkling eyes and faces of pure amazement were always something she enjoyed. She was one of those kids at one point herself. The fact that her peers could make her feel that spark of inspiration to this day

Clara woke up to the heavy click of the door. She lifted her face from the plush surface of the pillow and squinted towards the door with tired eyes. She ran her fingers through her honey-blonde hair and yawned. “What time is it?” Her words slurring together as her body struggled to boot up for the day.
“It’s nearly ten,” Yuri chuckled as he placed a warm kiss on her forehead.
Clara smiled softly as the scent of sweat and deodorant tickled her nose. “Did I miss practice?”
“You’re on vacation.”
“Not until April. I wanted to see you practice.” Clara playfully

“Clara, you are a strong young woman. You can do this. I am rooting for you back home. I’m so proud of you. Good luck, Sugar Plum.” A thick, Russian accent rasped through the speakers of her phone. The tone, encouraging and warm.
Clara smiled softly as she took her phone down from her ear. She pocketed her phone as she saw her two pieces of luggage come around the corner. She hoisted her bags off the conveyor belt and placed the tag along on the ground. She extended the handle and secured her suitcase on top of the tag along with a series of straps then adjusted her backpack before making her way through customs w

Men were dressed in their best suits and the ladies were donning their best dresses. The banquet hall was abuzz with conversation. Coaches mingled with members of the federation as the skaters mingled with each other. Clara stood off to the side of the room, gently holding a flute of champagne in her fingers. Her hair was loose for a change, her golden locks falling delicately down her back. Her deep purple gown simmered in the warm light of the room making it appear that was wearing a galaxy to the banquet rather than a dress. She sipped her drink and looked out over the room. She saw her coach mingling with her peers, including Vi

“Victor, did you forget to contact her about the change?” The Japanese man gave an exasperated sigh and he pinched the bridge of his nose.
“You know how I forget things.”
“I reminded you. Several times. This is why there are sticky notes all over the apartment.” Yuri looked to Clara. “I’m so sorry.”
“It’s… Fine…?” Clara ran her hands through her hair and took a deep breath and slowly let it out. Victor had somehow managed to compete and coach for the past few years. His only protege was his now husband, Yuri Katsuki of Japan. The Russian legen

“So you picked your music?” Yuri asked as he gently pushed down on Clara’s back, helping her stretch.
“For the short program at least,” Clara hooked her fingertips onto her toes. “I’m dedicating this season to Poppo, I want it to be perfect. Something worthy of a gold medal.”
“What’s the song?”
“Once Upon a December. An instrumental version of it.”
“What’s the theme you’re going with?”
“Hm...Not quite sure yet.” Clara switched legs. “I pick the music then come up with a theme.”
“Sounds like

Clara stirred and groaned as sunlight leaked through the curtains and struck her face. The blanket pinned her to the mattress as she struggled to even wiggle a toe. Her eyes snapped open as she heard the frying pan in the kitchen. The smell of bacon filled the apartment. Her stomach churned in protest. She managed to roll over on her side and look at her phone. The light from the screen burnt her eyes as she squinted until they adjusted. It was nearly ten in the morning.
“Shit!” Clara swore as she sat up, only to brace herself as the room started spinning. She squeezed her eyes shut until the nauseating sensation faded
