#i love chubby yuuri so much

[fujoshirat]

“What are you thinking about?” Oh nothing just how when you and Shouto have kids, suddenly THE AMOUNT OF BUCKWHEAT NOODLES YOU BUY AND CONSUME MULTIPLIES.

Like can you imagine when you and him are dating or already married and being all so cute, you’re the designated chef because baby boy for the life of him cannot cook (i promise he learns *later* on in his life and career)

So lets say when its just you two eating cold soba, you only need 1 pack of noodles

But when you have the twins? (Aki and Haru :)) Okay, what’s something solid that’s not baby food but soft enough for the boys to eat? Cold soba! So you and Shou mush up the noodles into smaller pieces and spoon feed them.

Hey, they like it! Chubby cherub cheeks (inherited from both you and Shouto) full as they munch on the noodles, satisfied smiles on their faces. Let’s go buy another pack of noodles so there is enough food!

So now you consume two packets.

Oh wow! You have two more twins (Yuuri and Yueru <3) and suddenly the situation is the same! ya’ll end up needing three packets!

“It could be worse.”

Oh yeah it does and when they get older, suddenly three packets turns into four.

And then poof! Little Hana comes along! Sweet and angelic—apparently also eager to eat cold soba at the ripe age of 1! and now everyone needs lunch and dinner

And just your luck, ALL OF YOUR KIDS EAT UP COLD SOBA

omg imagine if one of their first words is “soba” IM CRYING 😭😭

like ik that makes dinner easy but COME ON ARENT THEY SICK OF EATING THE DAMN NOODLES EVERY DAY??

"Honey, what do you want for dinner?" "Cold soba."

"Yuuri! What do you and your sister want for dinner?" "Cold soba."

"Aki! Haru! What do-" "Cold soba." (in sync)

"Hana-chan! What does my princess want for dinner?" "Noodle!"

Shouto’s happy with all of his kids eating his favorite dish (more noodles = more cold soba in the week 😊)

You’re not having it tho 🙄🙄 so you make a new rule (much to his and their dismay)

“From now on, we are only having cold soba TWICE a week!”

so yeah just like that your household consumes 5 packets (to have a little extra for leftovers the next day that they will fight over) PER MEAL

oh you thought you were safe?

wait until they get older 😩😩

suddenly your middle-schoolers are having massive growth spurts (damn you Shouto’s genetics 😤😤) and your elementary twins are joining all of these extracurriculars!! (specifically Yue) so guess what? now you have to buy 7 packs! (8 if you want all of them to have lunch the next day)

the cashiers and stockers already know what to do when you walk into the store, carrying the youngest and dragging both pairs of twins with you to get a shopping cart

it’s not just home meals too ���💀

when yall go out to eat at a japanese restaurant, if there is cold soba on the menu, THEY. WILL. GET. IT.

the pictures of them are so cute tho 🥺🥺 all of them at the dining table, chowing down on the same noodles, definitely a cute picture to send to your in-laws (Rei and Enji almost die from laughter and memories of Shouto as a kid)

also im going on a tangent but can you imagine Todoroki genetics being so strong that most if not ALL of your kids look like your husband 😐😐 Like excuse me what (the running joke is that everyone already knows who the father is and no one needs to ask)

IM SORRY ILL DEVELOP THAT LATER BUT ANYWAYSSS

you love ur little family of cold soba fanatics, and Shouto does too <3

[veryblushyswitch]

Katsuki Yuuri is handsome and beautiful af

Pass this on.

[miraculouslymadsblog]

Reasons why I love Yuri (yuuri) katsuki :

First of all I love how he can go from the chubby and cute to Eros look. I mean just look at it, one minute he is Yuuri 'im so cute and chubby' katsuki to yuuri 'im a delicious pork cutlet bowl' Katsuki.

How Relatable he is

He is a fantastic and the most relatable protagonist, I've ever seen. Because it's so easy to sympathize and relate to him. He is awkward, but that doesn't mean he won't or he can't take risks. I mean the creators, don't just assign one charecter trait, and say "that's it. That's yuri" . No, he is a charecter with complex and conflicting feeling and thoughts, and lots of anxiety before competitions, just like we all face. He reacts differently depending on the situations,and that makes him for relatable. He is surrounded by his loved ones, and yet he still feels alone and isolated himself from others .

I would have to say the thing that make him the most relatable though is his anxiety. It is handled phenomenally by the the show, and is a piece of him, not his whole personality. He's not portrayed as a weakling for it, quite the opposite. He may have moments of weakness but he is better for it, he feels better and relieved after crying, he can show vulnerability and still be strong, or I would argue it's why he's strong. With how deep he is, it is much easier to connect with him and his struggles, making us care about him and his journey.

His charecter development

He goes from a man considering to pursue a different career, to the the Yuri we see in episode 8; one willing to skate his free program on his own with out Victor. He learns to believe in his own abilities to rely on his own strength and to have confidence in himself. He learns all this through the love and support of others, and we see him gain confidence slowing, it is an ever growing process and not something that just happens. Seeing him slowing evolve into the sexy and confident Yuri we all know and love is absolutely amazing. Every time I rewatch the series from the beginning I am in awe of how much he develops.

It's a great message that drives home the shows central them; Love. It's showing us that loving and believing in yourself is key, and can lead you to a much more happy and fulfilling life

His relationship with victor Nikiforov

Yuri starts out as a fanboy who looks up to Victor like a god. Now he has Victor on his knees, servicing him like a queen. Yuri slowly begins to open up to Victor, sharing his life and his insecurities with him so he doesn't have to bear it alone. He starts to see Victor as an equal instead of some unattainable idol, showing even the best of us has faults. Victor provides what Yuri has been needing this whole time; a rock who will love and support him.

This creates an extremely close bond between the two, with no one else truly seeing them for who they are. Victor wants to bring out Yuri's inner beauty into his skating and help him gain more confidence. Yuri wants Victor, not the best figure skater in the world, not the amazing choreographer, not the bachelor, but Victor. They bring out the best in each other, with both being better for it in the end. And their engagement in episode 10. That's the most purest and sweetest thing I've ever seen. They have so much trust, faith and love in eachother. I mean, for me atleast victuuri is the best ship I've ever seen. #Victuuri is life

These are the few reasons why I love the Cinnamon roll because, he is just so pure for this world. And also because I can relate so much with him, because I have anxiety and conflicting feelings. I'm nervous just like him, and I isolate myself from others a lot. And watching yuuri, made me feel like, yes I can do anything, and everything just like him.❤️

Chubby Yuuri ♥( ´罒`*) (✿´ ꒳ ` )

[heartwithavacancy]

Per @trixxiephantomhive I’mma do this. Challenge mode only AO3 and Public works.  Rules: Pick any 10 of your fics, scroll somewhere to the midpoint, pick a line (or a few), and share it! Then tag people!  IDK who to tag. 

Lost & Found | Miraculous Ladybug | WC :1548 | Gen.

Gathering up his resolve and bracing himself for possibly needing to flee, he’s moving to the crates and peering into them. At first, he doesn’t see anything so he has to reassess this plan, the alley is too dim. After a moment he’s taking his phone from his pocket and turning on the flashlight function and crouching own. That’s when blue eyes finally see the tiny creature and his heart gives a painful little lurch. “What heartless son of a- Come here, baby, I got you. Don’t worry.” 

Flares Over Paris | Miraculous Ladybug (AU/PV)| WC: 4295 | Explicit |BriLix

“You can’t be…” That hardwired thought sparks and fragile hope shoves hard against what he knows - what he’s been told; what was drilled into his very bones. “She… died.” It’s a strained whisper, distress making itself known in his voice.

Bridgette’s hands rest on his chest and she’s taking in a sharp breath, brushing tears from her eyes she’s shaking her head. “Did He tell you that? Guess what, he’s a lying liar - surprise, surprise.” Her fingers reach and she’s taking hold of the zipper on his suit, tugging it down. A simple thought to Tikki and she’s taking off a glove and pressing her warm bare hand to his bare chest.

“Does this feel like the hand of a dead girl, Felix?”

Then she’s shifting leaning forward kissing along his jaw. “Or this?” Her lips trail along his neck slowly - gently.Felix takes in a broken breath, that touch to his chest is perfect. It’s warm and comforting somehow in a way he hasn’t felt in years. Bridgette always made him feel warm, soft… Bridgette had been the only one to make him feel that way the only person to push beyond the walls he’d built up.

In Colors | Yuri!!!! on Ice (Soulmate AU) | WC:1298 | Gen/Soft | Victor/Yuuri

Victor was not one of these people. He had always wanted to find his soulmate. Always. Ever since his days as a child, basking in his parents love; seeing the pink glow that his mother left upon his father’s skin when she took his hand and pulled him up into a joyful dance. Or when they embraced him or  kissed his forehead at night; lilac mixing with rose - the colors rare among the populace but they were so very soothing to young Victor.  Victor wanted that. He wanted exactly this and he would shake every had he had to to find it. Yuuri never really wanted to find his other half. He had enough trouble as just himself and his anxiety was a vicious thing; feeding into his fear that he wasn’t ever going to be good enough or good for anyone. He was just this side of a little chubby, horribly insecure with a bad self-esteem and image… No one wanted someone like him for a soulmate. So he donned gloves, black leather gloves for when he was out about in public.  It was for the best even if he did want someone to have that kind of connection with..

Memories Paint These Walls | BBC!Sherlock/Lucifer (Crossover/AU) | WC: 3721 | Gen | Myc/Greg, Lucifer/Charlie, implied Johnlock

Greg nodded swallowing. If this was true then why was it so hard for Mr. Holmes to accept that Mycroft was with someone like him? Granted, he wasn’t much of anything special, nothing remarkable but… “You’re saying they were lovers. They cared for one another.” “Yes, and again yes, deeply. Lucifer was devastated when he thought that Charlie had died. It seems that he like you had an uncanny ability to survive things that would kill men with less luck than you. Life goes on but they kept in touch; separate lives but another with each other.” He rather wished he was that brave, to have had a life like Lucifer, to have fought for them. “Again this isn’t why we’re here – well not the sole reason.”

I Celebrate You | BBC!Sherlock | WC: 1804| Gen| Myc/Greg 

The door opened only to close. He wasn’t sure who or what to expect given this day. “I hope you don’t mind a bit of company.” The voice that came was not the usher but the voice was much deeper and one he was far too familiar with. He glanced over his shoulder to find Gregory standing there, dressed in a tailored suit; a bit more formal than his usual attire; holding a box of chocolates and wearing a smile. His heart did a strange thing, a flip and twisting flop, slamming against the cage of his chest. Oh dear god.

Maybe Something New | Miraculous Ladybug | WC: 1137 | Gen | Felinette

Marinette Dupain-Cheng was a lightweight. That was the first thing Féllix learned after their third event date.

Another Song | Miraculous Ladybug | WC: 1225 | Gen | Lukathaniel

“Oh, definitely. To be honest, I thought if anyone stood a chance to break Adrien’s hold on her it’d be you. You’re a total package and I just don’t get what she sees in Adien that you don’t have to be totally frank. I mean Marinette’s not shallow or anything like that - I know that but I just don’t get the appeal. He’s arguably handsome, polite, thoughtful but yeah you’re definitely all those things - plus you don’t come with the baggage that is control freak Gabriel Agreste.”

Distracted Vendue | Miraculous Ladybug | WC: 2220 | Gen | Felinette

The instant green eyes fixed on the now-familiar face of the ever enchanting Marinette Dupain-Cheng he knew he had to win the evening with her. Even if they just spent it here tonight dancing, drinking, nibbling food the servers brought out - he wanted that time with her. He'd send her a few times since the video incident, a couple dozen of those in person, three of those as Ladybug.

To her, he wasn't Felix Graham de Vanily; admittedly his first impression on her hadn't been a good one but eventually, they smoothed things out and she'd become something of a friend... perhaps more. He certainly hoped one day it might be more but he wouldn't force the issue, unlike someone.

But truthfully he just wanted more time with her, no matter the confines of it or how they spent it. 

We Were Gods | Miraculous Ladybug (Human Kwami AU) | WC: 2808| Gen | Plikki

Plagg is shifting back to normal, staring at her. Of course, he should have known. Her powers, he’d seen them first hand to a small degree back when they were wilder and beyond her control. It takes a minute for it all to click then he’s moving closer to her.

“Tikki.”

His whisper of her name makes her jump like a door slam. Tikki is peering up at him in shock. “Please, don’t come any closer. I don’t - I don’t want to hurt you. I just wanted to bring you a gift. That’s all. I - I'll stop if you want me to.” She’s shaking, taking rapid steps back for every step he takes toward her.

Strange and Familiar | Miraculous Ladybug (PV/AU/GenderSwapped!Bridgette) | WC:2294 | Gen | FelBrett 

The stranger seems to go on alert the instant LB arrives and turns glancing over his shoulder. “That’s my cue.”

The spotted hero shakes his head, swinging onto the stage. “No. Stay.” It comes out as a sharp demand and the stranger bristles so Brett softens it with - “Please.”

Choices We Make in the End | Miraculous Ladybug {Pirate AU} |WC:1856 | Gen | Past and  currently onesided FeLuka

A sure sign of internal injuries. Now that he’s closer yes, there’s blood under the hand on his abdomen and Luka’s breathing is starting to rattle. The scent in the air around the pirate isn’t just blood - it’s death. Felix knew that smell far better than he would have liked to. And there isn’t anything that anyone can do - well nothing that anyone but Felix could do.

“There’s my favorite pirate. You’ve gotten yourself in a real mess this time.”

Felix is moving and with a gentleness that Felix reserved for those he truly cared for, he eased Luka up from his positing and gathered him carefully against himself. He doesn’t care about his clothes becoming bloodied. He doesn’t care about anything more than bringing Luka as close as he can. If he’s going to do this...

[needsmoresleepwrites]

It's been nearly a year since the incident that changed Yuuri's life (Victuuri)

Cuddles, tickles, and laughter, Ch2

Read Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Ao3

It's been nearly a year since the incident that changed Yuuri's life

He no longer lives in Viktor's apartment, having moved back to his family's home. Minako was very supportive about the whole thing (everyone was actually) but she pushed him to not give up. He went ahead and continued skating, leaving everything to his mother's capable hands, and really, he wouldn't trust anyone else with something so delicate. He managed to make it to the Grand Prix again, but it wasn't the same. Yurio made just as great an impact as the prior year, JJ had gotten his bearings back even though he'd get overly nervous sometimes, and Phichit was...well, he was Phichit. The three of them had amazed the crowd while he'd been too busy worrying about home

Viktor would probably scold him if he'd seen something so disgraceful

The only constant he's had as of late was the beeping in the guest room. He hugged his knees close to his chest, I shouldn't have rushed him, I should have told him to stay another day until the weather cleared up

There's a knock at his door and his mother walks in, a sweet smile on her chubby face, "Did you finish your meal Yuuri?"

Yuuri smiles guiltily, "I wasn't very hungry," and he knows she can see his half eaten food. She doesn't say anything and moves to Viktor's bed, making sure that everything is fine. Yuuri knows it's all ok since he'd made sure to fluff up the pillow under Viktor's head, he'd changed the man's clothing, wiped him down, and opened the curtains for him to get some light

His face looks peaceful and Yuuri feels tears well up in his eyes. How many times had he wished to see Viktor sleeping? To see his chest rise and fall while he lay in bed comfortable. It was such a huge contrast to how Viktor was when awake. Now Yuuri wishes he'd never see it again, or at least not like this.

His mother seems to be satisfied with his care and Yuuri thinks she'll leave now, but instead she sits next to him

Even sitting he's taller than her

They sit in quiet for a few minutes before Yuuri feels her hand gently petting his head, "It's okay to hurt Yuuri."

And he can't help it this time. The tears come down freely and he feels snot forming under his nose, he feels like he's suffocating, and Viktor becomes a blur. He tries not to make too much noise by clenching his teeth but it only makes breathing harder and the crying worse. He hates the fact that he's so selfish, crying while Viktor can't do the things he loves anymore

A gentle tug pulls him over to his mother's warm embrace and he holds onto her tightly. She's still petting his head with one hand and he remembers how Viktor liked to thread his hands into his hair, to ruffle it because it was soft. His mother starts humming a tune that he vaguely remembers as a child

He's healing remarkably well, all things considered. The only issue now is the deterioration of his muscles as we don't know...when he'll wake up. We do have some nurses we can recommend if you need any help with his care

"Don't worry Yuuri, Vicchan is strong, he'll come back to us soon"

And Yuuri wanted to believe her, but how much more time would soon take?

A/N:

so it's been awhile (oops) but here's the next mini-fic

I decided to follow up on the “previous chapter” because I couldn't bare to just leave it at "and yuuri waited for viktor's call..." and because of that I added Prompt 6 to this. The prompts there just fit better than "comfortable place". enjoy and let me know what you think!

Prompt 1: In bed / On the couch / Comfortable place Prompt 6: While someone is crying / Sick / Reassurance

CC Making Journal day 7- Collars, tailoring, transparent patterns, LODs.

Aka what started as a night full of hope and excitement over nipple lace button downs turns into bowling alley manager uniforms, tiramisu, irl shirt theft, screaming about paint buckets, and disappointment. Yuuri making his cute face is all I can stand. I didnt even go in game for this shirt I was so disappointed. 

First realization- when the mesh is ugly as fuck there is no saving the piece. Just start over. 

Second realization- half sleeve will never be flattering

No matter how these jazzy looking boy pose:

BUt I started off realizing this piece was not a simple 4 piece suit. No- it had many moving parts. So I made my first button down. The original piece had these hideous buttons:

I was pretty happy here.I had, after all, created my first button down with the two pieces n the back, the trim, collar, the whole 9 yards! A certain tofu loving dragon helped me find a collar pattern guide after they caught me blindly making the worst collar known to man on stream. Thank you for your guidance. (I also wasnt sure if the collar was 1,2,or 3 pieces so I stole a shirt from my dads closet. Its still on my bed. I may keep it. He doesnt need it anyway. Its so soft) We were still so naive though. Dofu tried to warn me about the weird sleeve length and frumpy sleeve holes. But I didnt listen. I was too busy screaming:

Yes I did a little peak at the stammi vicino possibilities. I felt so close.But then...

Then... 

It came to open it in S4s...

(at least the white swatch is clean)

And I was met with a huge disappointment. The shoulders are rounded hideously. and the collar stands up weird. And I cant for the love of me figure out where the sim waist pant line is on the Sims 4 male rig for MD. 

Basically I achieved the silhouette “Boy stuffs himself into a button down that is much to small for him” DX I mean if we wanna play chubby Yuuri it works. 

The waist UV didnt copy over from the sim so he has a different body shape. This keeps happening on tops I have partial transparency on so I think this is related to that issue. As I learn more I realize the issues on my cc are all fixable at their various step. Yuuris waist is supposed to be SNATCHED 

Okay some may think the shirt doesnt look bad on Yuuri, right? But I knew something was wrong....when I put it on Victor and his shoulder SUNK INTO HIS BODY: 

THIS IS WHAT HE IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. 

Oh the disappointment I was met with. Victors beautiful broad shoulders. Decimated. 

(Oh speaking of decimate i managed to get this mesh to be under 12k and then I imported it into s4s it JUMPED TO 20K AND I WAS SHOOK LIKE WTF SO OF COURSE MY OTHER 3 LOD DECIMATES WERE ALL HUGE POLY COUNTS. NONE OF THEM NEAR 500 FOR LOD 3). I was annoyed but had bigger monsters with this piece.

Already deterred by some much disappointment, I almost didnt want to continue on. But I roped my friend in again and we went at the Lace texture. BC AS UGLY ASTHE MESH WAS, THE TRANSPARENCY WORKED. SO I failed the war but won the mission. We shared a few pic me up photos of our good boys and powered on. 

And then I found out in PS version 20 there is NO PAINT BUCKET TOOL.

After screaming over no paint buckets (silently bc my discord audio broke) we tried like 10 different methods. I tried to follow along but boyyyy I had no idea what mask laters or rasterize was. I dont even know how to rotate and combine photos in PS. I was in pain. Perhaps I am still traumatized. But not enough to not keep trying.

By then it was 3am and I had inhaled a piece of tirimisu cake to fend off sadness. I ate my late dinner from a paper plate like the sad bachelorette I am and watched again and again as my friend tried to explain how to make the transparency work. 

Eventually they got it to work. I did but I had the pattern too small. So it was useless. 

Anyway, I had to show SOMETHING so I tried Archive actions weird pants that I cant put on literally any outfit bc its clips awfully on the sim and BAM

CANT YOU JUST SEE HIM IN A BOWLING ALLEY?!?!? UGH

Anyway credits to StinkyDofu here on tumblr and the victuuri birb server, Otaku Sim server, random twitter followers who will not see this image or else my follower count will continue to drop, and NO THANK YOU TO HALF SLEEVED SHIRTS. 

Also heads up usually im not a negative person and wont be as harsh on cc to others as I am to myself. But this particular piece was started with such high expectations and the downfall really hurt. But, like I said, this is all for learning so I will keep going. I love this process fully.

It was calming, the boring parts of cc making. Lowering poly with edge loop deleting, extruding edges, uv mapping, texturing. I love the process no one wants to show in their time skips. 

I’ve already linked the tutorials I used in my last journal. So today i’ll advise yall to watch Grafity-cc on youtube for their great speed meshing blender. I would tag but I am but a measly peasant.

Also of course follow StinkyDofu, DroSims, and Poeticfalls for my sim inspo, teachers, and friend groups.

Doodle dump

[harocat]

anyway fandom hella fetishizes the idea of ‘chubby Yuuri’ and it’s super fucking gross and super uncomfortable and I’m so, so tired of it and fat fetishization is not body positivity. And I’m also tired of every single time every time myself or other plus sized fans comment on this we’re completely ignored. Also!! Chubby Yuuri is not ‘superior Yuuri’ and you’re not ‘enlightened’ or ‘better than canon’ for deciding to use it (especially when 3/4 of the time people are so damn gross about it). Thanks now please reblog this and take heed.

Underrated Yuri on Ice Fics (Part 2!)

*cracks knuckles* All right, here we go.

People wanted more underrated YOI fic recommendations, so I’m here to provide. Please read these fics if you’re interested and give them some love! (Oh, and feel free to send any fics you think should be added to the list my way. Perhaps I’ll make a part three of this someday.)

You, in Sunlight by pandabomb [ T // 3.5K words // complete ]

Summary: To acquaintances and strangers, Viktor was excellent at hiding his true feelings. Yuuri was beginning to forget what it meant to be a stranger to him.

A soft, quiet snapshot from Yuuri and Viktor's earliest days in St. Petersburg together.

---

Some much needed contextualizing of Yuuri settling into life in St. Petersburg and Victor becoming acclimated to his new role as skater, coach, and fiancé. Just unbearably sweet all around.

---

Comfort and Joy by sublime_jumbles [ G // 3.5K words // complete ]

Summary: The Japanese restaurant with the most stars on Yelp doesn't open until eleven, but that's all right. Yuuri is still sleeping soundly then, as Viktor gets up, gets dressed with the silent speed of a quick change, and scrawls a note in hasty English on a slip of hotel stationery.

---

Just some sweet fluff post-episode twelve. Victor wakes before Yuuri and decides to spoil him while they’re still in their hotel in Barcelona. It’s adorable and also has some great pro-chubby Yuuri Katsuki content, so it gets an A from me.

---

Here Comes a Thought by @crossroadswrite [ G // 7K words // complete ]

Summary: Yuuri dreams about his last competition a lot. How could he not when it changed his life so viscerally.

In his dreams, it’s always falling. It’s never hitting the ground, because Yuuri knows what happens when he hits the ground – torn ACL, mild concussion and a nasty bruise on his head that had lasted for weeks. It’s never the pain he’s afraid of in his dreams, Yuuri’s well used to pain.

It’s the act of falling, the promise of pain and failure. It’s what falling means. It haunts Yuuri, even now when the bruise on his head is completely gone and his knee is slowly healing.

(Or: Yuuri struggles with being forced into retirement by an injury, Victor struggles with getting Yuuri to talk about it, and they still love each other through all of it.)

---

This fic made me sob like a little bitch.

Yeah. It’s just that good.

It’s so heart-wrenching but so them. It hurts in all the best ways. And it’s also the reason I can’t ever go to an aquarium again without feeling just a bit morose.

---

A Place for You and Me by whatsup_buttercup [ E // 5K words // complete ]

Summary: “Be careful in the hallway,” Viktor says. “I had to move the bookshelf out of the bedroom.”

A famous interior decorator from a magazine placed that bookshelf there two years ago. Yuuri remembers the glossy spread about Viktor Nikiforov’s modern apartment very well. It’s still in a protective plastic cover in his parent’s attic. “Why?”

“I bought something new,” Viktor says, cryptic.

---

Omegaverse! Yuuri’s stubborn pride rears its ugly head here, and it feels so in-character. Poor Victor is just trying his best--but when they fail, they fail together.

---

Hopeless, Breathless, Baby Can’t You See? by xylophones [ G // 15.5K words // complete ]

Summary: The weekend of last year’s Rostelecom cup, Yuuri Katsuki declared his love for fried pork in a press conference, got caught by paparazzi rescuing a dog from a river, revealed a short program costume that showed off his multitude of soulmate marks, and broke Viktor’s world record. All while being, objectively, the cutest human being on the planet.

The entire skating world–– including Viktor–– fell in love instantly.

Or: a soulmate au where the first time you touch your soulmate(s), colored marks appear on your skin. Yuuri has more marks than Viktor’s ever seen on someone. Viktor has none.

--

This is one of my new favorite YOI fics--if not my absolute favorite. I’m a sucker for a good soulmate AU, and this is one of the best: feel-sy, subversive, and stunningly gorgeous. Please read this one! You won’t regret it.

---

Tangerine Trees, Marmalade Skies by @ebenroot [ T // 6.5K words // complete ]

Summary: It’s not that Yuri thinks Victor is a big fat liar. It just, well, Yuri thinks Victor is a big fucking liar.

“The Sun,” Yuri repeats for the fifth time that day. “You’re engaged to the Sun.”

Or: a (slightly confusing and annoyingly sappy) account of Victor Nikiforov's engagement to the Sun, as narrated by #1 employee Yuri Plisetsky

---

I’ve reread this one... a shameful amount of times. It’s pure fluff, plain and simple, with a sprinkle of casual magic that feels like a hug. 10/10, would recommend.

---

Memento Amare by @belovedyuuri [ G // 5K words // complete ]

Summary: Parting ways has never been in their plans, not even for just a moment; it's no surprise Yuuri and Victor have a terrible time saying goodbye, even if for just several weeks. When longing hits hard, memories sweeten it right up.

(You've heard about History Makers. Now prepare for Memory Makers. In which Yuuri and Victor share their life and love with each other even when they're not physically together.)

---

Just some good ol’ fashioned feels about Yuuri and Victor, doing the hard work of trying to make their relationship work after their whirlwind romance. It’s absolutely gorgeous and wholesome all around.

---

Tongue Tied by @stammiviktor [ T // 2.5K words // complete ]

Summary: The silver-haired man in front of Yuuri in line is the only good thing to come of the situation.

---

Another new fic that has rocketed up the list of my absolute favorites. Yuuri and Victor pretending to be married to get airport preferential treatment--while at the same time not sharing a common language between them--had me positively rolling with laughter. Perfect, fabulous, a thousand chef’s kisses. I want ten movies and a TV series.

---

Work of Art by Athra (getaway_machine) [ E // 2.5K words // complete ]

Summary: Victor admires the work of art that is his beautiful husband.

Some lovely smut, shibari edition! It’s feels very them, while still being hot as hell. Read for a good time.

Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A Thousand Times I’d Marry You by @ewokthrowdown [ T // 2.5K // complete ]

Summary: What’s more, Yuuri’s got fantastic honeymoon ideas. While Victor’s planning the wedding, Yuuri’s casually asks the fiancés where they’re going, then always has a hundred ideas for romantic things to do once they’re there. A cute bakery that does heart shaped macarons, the best spot for stargazing, which bar has swing dance. Victor had asked Yuuri how he knew all these lovely things to do, and Yuuri, blushing furiously, had told him that these were all the things he planned to do with Victor but either hadn’t had time to while they themselves visited, or they hadn’t been to that particular location yet. The fact that Yuuri has dates planned for them in pretty much every romantic spot on the planet, had Victor swooning in a calculated way that meant Yuuri had to catch him.

[Future fic in which Victor quits skating to be Yuuri's Katsuki-Nikiforov's trophy husband and a wedding planner.]

And let’s end with another sweet one! 

This one is sooooooo cute! Victor becomes a wedding planner after he retires, and the fic shows us little snapshots of him and Yuuri traveling all over the world to make people’s dreams come true. They’re just in love, love, love, and I’m always 100% here for it.

All right, let’s wrap it up here. Thank you for reading this post! Please check out these fics and their writers if they happen to catch your eye--and my inbox is always open for more suggestions! And before I go, let me just leave my own fics here in case you’d like to look into my credentials~

#3 Victor and Yuuri 😍❤️

Here’s some sappy teasing just for you!

Quarantined Prompts

Sleep clouded the last unconscious pieces of Yuuri’s mind as he blinked himself awake. The bed was empty next to him, both Makkachin and Victor missing from spots that they had only recently made their own. It felt weird to wake up without Victor’s hums as he got dressed and the immediate face full of Makkachin kisses, especially when Yuuri discovered that Victor’s spot was cold.

Sweatpants and a hoodie found their way onto Yuuri’s body before he was fully coherent, his feet stumbling as he pulled on his socks and headed for his door.

The dining room was quiet, more quiet than Yuuri had seen it since he and Victor had returned from China. His mother leaned over a far table, cloth wiping in efficient circles to clear away the mess left behind from patrons who had already gone. She smiled at Yuuri when she caught him standing in the doorway.

“Vitya,” the diminutive was new and his mother looked pleased as she said it, “he went to Yuuko’s. He told me to tell you that you could meet him there.”

Ice cold fear dropped into Yuuri’s stomach. It had been a matter of self-preservation that he had not let Yuuko and Takeshi get Victor alone. After the last time, when they had revealed to Victor that Yuuri practiced because he didn’t have friends, Yuuri had made sure to limit their interactions to when Yuuri could keep an eye on his traitorous friends.

Pausing only to press a kiss to his mom’s head (a habit he had picked up from Victor and then continued when he had realized how much it made his mom smile), Yuuri snagged his shoes and ran out of the inn.

Hopping from foot to foot, Yuuri yanked his shoes on and then set out towards the Nishigori household. There was no telling what embarrassing information Yuuko and Takeshi had already shared with Victor and Yuuri knew that there would be a serious need for damage control.

The sound of Takeshi’s laughter floating out of front door reinforced all of Yuuri’s worries. Flicking his shoes off with his toes, Yuuri rounded the corner and stopped short when he spied Victor sandwiched on the couch between his friends and Makkachin splayed on the ground with the triplets draped over her.

On the screen of the television in front of them was a video that Yuuri had sworn he had destroyed. A chubby, more clumsy version of himself moved over the ice, wearing a hand-sewn copy of one of Victor’s costumes that his mother had made for his eleventh birthday.

“You’re the cutest kid who ever existed!” Victor squealed from his place on the couch, his feet bouncing along with the music of little Yuuri’s program and his eyes flitting between the screen and Yuuri’s flushed face. “I’ve seen all of these videos Yuuri! So many!”

Snapping out of his trance, Yuuri stomped across the room and snagged Victor’s wrist. “That’s enough,” he announced, his eyes narrowing as Yuuko and Takeshi started to protest. “You too, Makka,” he called, whistling quickly between his teeth as he dragged a protesting Victor to their shoes and out of the door.

“Yuuri! Yuuri, stop!” Victor laughed, flipping Yuuri’s hold on his wrist so that Victor was holding Yuuri’s hand instead. “Yuuri, don’t be embarrassed. You were adorable. I love that I played a part in your inspiration to skate.”

“It’s always been you.” The words were a whisper and Yuuri let himself be pulled around to face Victor. Before Victor could ask him to repeat himself, Yuuri took a deep breath and spoke again. “It’s always been you... you were always my inspiration.”

Saying it out loud made Yuuri’s cheeks burn, but the brightness of Victor’s smile made him forget how to breathe. “Even before I knew you, there was a part of you that was already... in my heart...”

A sharp yank brought Yuuri crashing into Victor’s chest as Victor’s arms crushed him into a hug. “My Yuuri, you can’t say such things. My heart can’t take it.”

Laughing against Victor’s shoulder, Yuuri wrapped his own arms around Victor’s back. “It’s true. You’ve always been the star I looked to.”

Soft flakes of snow began to fall, dusting over their shoulders and catching in their hair as they stood in an embrace that neither of them seemed bothered to break. “I’m just glad they only showed you skating videos.” Yuuri sighed, rubbing his hands up and down Victor’s back.

“Oh they didn’t,” Victor tilted his head back slightly with a glint of mischief in his eyes. “There was this one video of you... drunk...”

Squeaking, Yuuri jumped out of Victor’s arms and started to back away. “Victor, I... I can explain...” He unfortunately had no doubt about which video Victor had seen and there was no way he wanted to discuss any part of it.

“But Yuuri! I want to do all those things you promised to my poster!” Victor reached out to grab Yuuri’s hands but Yuuri was already running. “I’m faster than you!” Victor yelled, slipping on the falling snow as he took off running after Yuuri.

Their laughter and Makkachin’s happy barks carried them through the snow and all the way home.

Anon asked: i thought of somethin cute: yuri k and chubby s/o watching a scary movie and s/o gets scared and is hugging yuri and he's conflicted cause 1. he likes the hugs and feeling like he can protect them but 2. he's scared as fuck too tho. (possibility: viktor comes in and both of them hug viktor instead cause even tho its scary they really wanna kno how it ends)  

Bruh, if this isn’t me, I don’t know what is. My sister makes me watch scary ass movies with her all the time and I hate it because I get scared so easily, but I can’t stop watching because I need to know what happens. Hope you enjoy! <3

Honestly, this movie wasn’t Yuuri’s first choice. Yours either for that matter. 

At all. 

You both usually went for romantic comedies or the classic chick flick movies because you both were total scardy cats when it came to horror movies, but your friends have been bugging the both of you to watch the new horror movie on Netflix so that’s what you both decided on for date night.

Even though both of you were dreading it. 

“Okay, blankets, pillows, snacks, drinks and...each other!” Your cheery voice filtered through the living room as you ran through the usual movie night check list making sure you both had everything before you pressed play.

The skater only hummed in acknowledgement and pulled you down onto the couch, wrapping his arms around your plump form. Even though he was embarrassed when it came to public displays of affection, it wasn’t you of course, it was just him and his anxiety; so public was a no go. However, once you both were alone, he turned the affection onto full blast. 

“No way buddy, you can’t charm me out of this one.” You laughed as his hands caressed your soft sides, his fingers lightly grazing the protruding flesh causing you to squirm and laugh at the ticklish sensation if brought on.

He only smiled, eyes glancing to your lips for brief moment before leaning in. “Not even if I kissed you?” Leaning in more, he captured your lips with his, arms winding around your middle, pulling you closer to him, your soft body pressed against his.

You knew he was trying to charm his way out of watching this damn movie and as much as you loved that idea, you both had to watch it and even his lips weren’t going to distract you. Pulling away before the kiss could get anymore heated, you grabbed the remote and snuggling against Yuuri’s side.

He sighed and wrapped his arm around your shoulders. Throwing a blanket over the both of you, you settled back into his side. “You saw through my little plan, huh?” You scoffed. “It wasn’t that hard babe, besides after this horrible movie, I’m all yours.” Giving his cheek a kiss you both turned your attention to the screen as you hit the play button.

--

“What?! No, don’t fucking go in there, you idiot, no!” 

You hide your face in the crook of your boyfriend’s neck as the horrid sounds of slashing and screaming erupted through the speakers making the both of you turn away from the screen, his arms squeezing your soft form as a form of protection against what was happening on screen.

Yuuri wasn’t going to lie, he loved that you were clinging to him like this. Showing him you were going to him for protection and the way you hugged him when you were scared and hiding against him, just really boosted his confidence and made him hold you tighter, but then again, he was scared as all hell too.

He looked away when you did too, it was more horrible than he thought. Too much blood, screaming, it was awful and you were only halfway through the horrid movie. 

“Why hello there, you love birds!” 

You both screamed in horror as a voice piped up from the dark hallway by your front door. Yuuri scrambled to get in front of you as you were behind him wielding the remote as a weapon since it was the only thing near you both.

The light to the living room snapped on as Viktor came through, brow raised at how he was greeted by his friends. “Why are you screaming, what happened?” The pro skater looked around thinking something bad was happening as you both visibly relaxed.

“You scared the shit out of us Viktor! We’re watching this awful horror movie and you just waltz in. We thought you were a killer!” Your voice was panicked as Yuuri rubbed your arm, but he was still shaken up too.

“My apologies, but now that you know I’m not a killer, can I join? I love horror movies!” He clapped his hands in excitement as Yuuri and yourself looked at each other smiles spreading across your faces.

“Be our guest.” Yuuri gestured to have him sit in the middle of the couch which he happily took, eager to watch the movie. 

In the end, both you and Yuuri were clinging to Viktor who remained unfazed by the gore, screams and death of it all. He just sat there with a giant smile on his face as the movie continued to play all the while you and Yurri were clinging to Viktor for protection. Let’s just say you both won’t be watching another horror movie for awhile and Viktor won’t be letting you both forget that both of you were clinging to him throughout the remainder of the movie. 

Smug bastard.
