#but I also love slightly dark shit so I was planning to kill vitya's mom and have his alcoholic dad hang himself in this

[katzuyas]

despite the popular belief, fairies are not kind. they do not take teeth from beneath the pillows of the sleeping kids, they do not bring gold in return. they will take your kids from their beds, and they will leave only a scattering of fairy dust to bring forth nightmares for years to come.

victor’s parents survive one such nightmare when victor is eight. the fairies come like they always do -- in the middle of the night with no one the wiser -- but they leave like that, too. and they seem to have taken nothing, over which victor’s mother cries into his sleep tangled hair for long, long hours. their life returns to normal after that and the family lives happily ever after...

...except they don’t.

misery needs no company, but when it comes, it comes with sadness and tragedy in hand. and victor only realizes what it is the fairies took years later as he meets the man who lights his world up with warmth again.

yuuri katsuki is bright and his smile is a sun and his touch is alive when he scatters fairy dust across victor’s cheeks and lips and eyes, and makes him see.

and what victor sees is a life. and what he knows is that this is what he has been missing -- his heart, the one that has been taken from him so many years ago and which now beats in this man who dances him with grace of a man who steps on air. and when he dips victor down, safely held in his arms, and when he kisses him the first time on that cold, cold ice where there is only warmth of their breaths and the love in their eyes, and when a golden ring is slid onto victor’s finger...

he is glad that his heart is in a good place, because in yuuri katsuki victor knows it has found a better home than anyone else could ever give it.
