HOLY MOLY YURI ON ICE IS GETTING A MOVIE

WHY NO ONE TOLD ME BEFORE TIME TO START SCREAMING

[gladiatortale]

My DEPRESSION BEATING, fandom obsessing, shit-tastic FANTASTIC year in review!

TL;DR: I’m fixing my mental health and figuring out WHO THE FUCK I AM one fandom filled day at a time! Thank you to everyone who’s been there for me along the way. xoxo

what’s up HEATHENS.

stating the goddamn obvious here, it’s been a HELLUVA YEAR. One emotional rollercoaster after another but we’re ALMOST DONE. I know things aren’t gonna magically get better the second it flips to 00:01 on January first, but I’m excited to put this year behind me, and (SHOCKINGLY) a bit sad to see it go.

It was a year where the whole world completely stopped, we realized what is really important, what is really worth fighting for, and took a GODDAMN SECOND to just breathe.

For me personally, the year (which I’m counting off from November 1st) started out UNBELIEVABLY SHIT. I had just been kicked out of the country I called home for the last four years (thank you Brexit), I had ZERO job prospects, my depression was the WORST it had ever been, and I just didn’t want to get out of bed in the morning. And in the beginning, the pandemic felt like salt in the wound, an extra kick in the teeth to my early twenties that had already “failed to launch.”

But I tried to embrace the madness, really take advantage of the world (that I always thought moved to fast) properly slowing down, and take time to try and become myself again. I wanted to figure out what I loved and try and become a bit more like the person I was before my depression got so bad.

I often say I became that Manic Trash Planet Lady™ you see in sci-fi adventure films; a bit zany to say the least, with a million ideas and a very eclectic fashion sense, but embracing the insanity as it comes...

*cough cough* audrey, get to the goddamn point!

Right. lol. THE POINT IS! 

I’m not 100% “healed”, I’m not sure if I think depression is a “oh look you’re officially cured! hooray!” type of disease, but this year I let myself ENJOY SHIT for the first time in god knows how long. I still don’t know “wHaT i WaNt To dO WiTh mY LiFe”, but I’ve got a better idea and I’m heading in (what feels like) the right direction. And most of all, I can look back and say I am better than where I was a year ago.

So I wanted to say T H A N K Y O U to the mad lads on this website that introduced me to the fandoms, shows, movies, fics... THE SHIT that made me happy this year and were there to be one (BIG) piece in my healing journey.

AND SO, with out further rambling ADO! Here are the highlights of the year marked by my ridiculous hyper-fixations and OBSESSIONS. Thanks for putting up with me ya fiends, xoxox

November 2019  The Arcana (Visual Novel)

I had just gotten home and I was in a LOOOOOOW place. Randomly decided to download this app when it came up and it proceeded to ruin my life (and my bank account...) for pretty much the rest of the year. It was exactly what I needed to get me through a tough time and I was thoroughly, horse-blinders-up-to-the-rest-of-the-world, OBSESSED. These gorgeous magical fiends ruined me and all I could say was thank you.

Joined the fandom: November 2019 Obsession peaked: Late November Obsession faded: December 2019; I started a new job AND my bank statement came in and I realized I had accidentally spent over SIXTY BUCKS on this stupid app. No ragrets, but I definitely started to phase out at that point. Fandom friends: Velma, (@lanavxds on insta) miss you girlie xx Fanfics you NEED to read: ‘Second Mistake’ by DeathBelle on AO3, because DAAAAAYUM SON. Favourite moments: Basically the whole of the Julian arc. That gangly himbo OWNED my ass for a month.

December 2019 Hazbin Hotel (TV Series)

Y’ALL okay here me out. Am I proud of this one? No. Is the show crass as hell? OOOOOOOOHHHH YEAH. Did my angsty ass love it at the end of last year? DAMN STRAIGHT IT DID. Goes without saying, but this is NOT FOR EVERYBODY, but it definitely helped me along the way to becoming more comfortable with myself and being open about being the massive geek that I always was, and watching things I enjoy regardless of what people say about it.

Joined the fandom: December 2019 Obsession peaked: Shortly there after. Fandom friends: None. Dipped one toe in fandom discourse and then promptly YEETED the fuck outta there. Obsession faded: January 2019. Still curious to see the full series if A24 actually ever does produce the whole thing, but I have def moved away from it. Fanfics you NEED to read: Haven’t read any. Maybe I’m a pussy baby piece-o-shit, but I DID NOT want to go down that rabbit hole, NO MA’AM. Favourite moments:

Discovering the Hunicast podcast. These guys are a riot and Ashley is a flustered GEM. Even if you don’t watch the show, go watch an episode of these fucking LADS just dicking about and your day will get better.

Watching the first episode with my partner and watching him realize his girlfriend is a total freak.

January 2020 Lore Olympus (Webtoon Comic)

*Officially* discovered this one thanksgiving weekend in 2019, but my Arcana phase was still raging pretty strong at that point so I didn’t really get in to it until later. EVERYBODY AND THEIR MOTHER NEEDS TO READ IT. It has everything and handles the reality sexual assault and it’s aftermath EXTREMELY well.

Joined the fandom: Late November 2019 Obsession peaked: January 2020 Fandom friends: KELLEY. MA GIRL XOXOXO Obsession faded: June-ish 2020. I’m like 10 chapters behind now, but I still love this story so much. Fanfics you NEED to read: SO MANY ON MY ‘MARKED FOR LATER’ LIST AAAAAH. I have to get to that... NEW YEARS RESOLUTION lol Favourite moments: Having a drunk conversation on New Years Eve in 2019 with one of my oldest friends from high school about how much she loved it too. Helped me see how popular fandom and fandoms, are especially after feeling like I needed to hide my enthusiasm through high school and uni. (THAT WAS A MISTAKE BUT I’LL GET THERE IN A MINUTE).

February 2020 Versailles (TV Series)

SO FUCKING GAY Y’ALL. Oh my god everyone in this show is so gay. Even when they’re not they still are a little bit. AND BEST OF ALL!! it’s very historically accurate (except for the demon satanic nonsense in season 3, what was that???)

Joined the fandom: February 2020 Obsession peaked: Like??? The SECOND I finished episode one. Fandom friends: none... WHERE ARE ALL OF YOU??? Obsession faded: March 2020. It was a fast and passionate love affair, what can I say? Fanfics you NEED to read: IF YOU HAVE RECS, GIVE ‘EM TO MEEEEE. Favourite moments: 

Showing the first episode to a friend of mine and the *ungodly GASP* that came out of her throat was... PRICELESS.

The ENTIRE throuple(???) relationship between the Chevalier, Philipe, and Palatine. PLATONIC/ ROMANTIC LOVE G O A L S.

March 2020 Yuri!!! On Ice (TV Series)

*deep breath* ...y’all knew this one was coming.

Was I ready for this show to ruin my fucking life? No.  Am I so glad it happened??? FUCK YEAH.

NEVER IN MY LIFE have I fallen off the deep end so quickly with a fandom. HOLY SHIT. This blog didn’t have much of an “identity” before, but I you said that this is a Yuri On Ice blog now I wouldn’t even be mad (nor could I really defend myself to the contrary... bc??? like??? just go LOOK at my archive). Craziest thing is I watched the first two episodes like?? a solid TWO YEARS ago, but I didn’t continue watching because I was just not in the right head space for all the love and silliness and positivity.

I could do a whole separate post about how much this show and how this fandom has changed my life (DON’T TEMPT ME I JUST MIGHT). But I’ll stick with the highlights for now ;)

Joined the fandom: March 2020  Obsession peaked: Has it peaked?? Went straight up and it still going lol Fandom friends: Sandra, my mentor, my queen @aeriamamaduck, my fandom ride-or-die. Thank you for taking this internet bby under your wing. RACHEL @idancewiththefairies I TRAPPED YOU HERE. MUAHAHAHA xxx Obsession faded: ON GOING. CAN’T STOP, WON’T STOP. Fanfics you NEED to read: jfc, SO MANY.

‘Until My Feet Bleed and My Heart Aches’ and ‘Of Bright Stars and Burning Hearts’ by Reiya @kazliin​ -- Rivals AU companion pieces. Longest fics I’ve ever read and JESUS CHRIST these two fucking SENT ME. Most popular YOI fics on AO3 for a REASON.

‘Tell Me Where Your Love Lies’ by @aeriamamaduck -- Royalty AU, trope-breaking ABO. Ah sweet, TMWYLL, how you’ve killed me over and over again. This BEAUTIFUL wip has SUCH amazing world-building idk where to start (Congrats on passing 50,000 hits!) EVERYONE GO READ IT.

‘Blackbird’ by sixpences -- WWII/Coldwar Spy Fic. I don’t have enough words to describe how amazing this is. It’s elevated to a higher plane beyond fanfic. Just go read it. Thank me later.

‘Zanka’ by rinsled05 @dreaming-fireflies -- The geisha fic that ruined me. *deep breath* AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH *gasp* I’m fine. lol I sooooo not ready for this fic. Holy hell, Aoyagi had my heart in his hands from the first chapter. “’Please’ [...] ‘Don’t give me hope.’“ FUUUUCK.

‘Echoes’ by Reiya @kazliin -- Future fic. First fic I cried at... BOI. I was NOT ready for this. Shouldn’t be surprised given the author, but MAN. “‘A love like that, a love like what they had together, it never leaves completely.’ Yuri spoke again, eyes still staring out onto the ice, lost in memory. ‘There are always echoes.’” JUST FUCK ME UP.

Favourite moments: Oh good lord, where do I begin??

Having two (count ‘em TWO) main characters with mental health issues (Yuuri and his anxiety and Victor with burn out and depression) and NOT MAKING IT THE ONLY ASPECT OF THEIR PERSONALITY. CLAPS FOR KUBO AND YAMAMOTO!!

Everything about Yurio (ESPECIALLY HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH YUUKO AND HIS GRANDPA), that tsundere motherfucker is too pure for this world.

THE KISS. THE PROPOSAL. MY HEART WASN’T READY. AAAAAH!!

This fandom *properly* introducing me to smut on AO3...

Thinking I was going to get Rachel to like the show... NOT being prepared for her to fall off the deep end and START LIKING REAL SKATING TOO!!

Staying up waaaaaay too late waaaaaay too often to plan out plot points for TMWYLL with Sandra. Love ya dearie.

The warm fuzzy feeling I get every time I think about Victor and Yuuri.

April 2020 Bungou Stray Dogs (TV Series)

I had a hunch I was gonna like this show considering ALL of the characters are based off of famous classic authors from around the world... what I was NOT prepared for was just HOW MUCH I was going to love it. HOLY SHIT. The art style? Love it. The plot?? Bonkers, but so fun. THE VOICE CAST??? AMAZING. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to get in to anime, great place to start.

Joined the fandom: April 2020 Obsession peaked: Probably this summer? But we have DEF plateaued in a VERY high place. Fandom friends: FIJI. MA BOIIIII @lil-1nsane  Obsession faded: Hasn’t. Hope it doesn’t Fanfics you NEED to read: So so so many. The smut in this fandom is *chef’s kiss*, but here are a few...

‘He Works Hard For the Money’ by CataclysmicEvent @cataclysmicevent2019​ -- Sugar Daddy AU. FUCK MAN. I was not expecting to like this one, but bloody hell. This fic grabbed me by the throat and WOULD NOT let me go. Praying for chapter 16! But the author is working on another STELLAR fic so I’m okay for now.

‘Everything or Nothing’ by CataclysmicEvent @cataclysmicevent2019​ -- University AU. FUCK THIS FIC. Started reading it as I was waiting for HWHFTM to update and BOI, this fic ROCKS. The alternating POV fits so well with the enemies/idiots-to-lovers vibe. Solid 10 outta 10.

‘The City Where Wind Blows’ by @raven-rein​ -- Cancer Death fic. *pained shriek* AAAAAAGUUUUUUUHHHH *gasp* aaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHHHH, FUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKK MEEEEE. THIS FIC. Only the second fic I’ve ever cried to but I BAWLED MY GODDAMN EYES OUT. FUUUUUUUCK. I was not ready, never would have been ready. This is so tremendously well done, it killed me so beautifully, 

‘Haunted by Hatred’ by DeathBelle -- Canon compliant Soukoku. It is a CRIME that DeathBelle doesn’t have more BSD fics on her page, but this one is still brilliant.

Favourite moments:

THE CHUUYA-DAZAI MAFIA REUNION TEAM UP WHEN THEY FIGHT LOVECRAFT. Ooof. BOI. We love it.

The first three episodes. Soooo many break neck plot twists.

Every insane hypothetical conversation with Fiji.

Every time Atsushi or Tanizaki is on screen bc I LOVE THESE LIL BEANS.

June 2020 Trash Taste (Podcast)

Goddamn I love these chaotic lads so much.

As I became more and more comfortable with myself and my love for anime I stumbled upon these three goons, -- Joey, Connor, and Garnt, -- best known for there SUPER successful (mostly) anime YouTube channels. Even if you don’t watch anime, WATCH/LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST. The focus is mostly on their lives and the overall expat/immigrant experience, with a bit of anecdotal anime references sprinkled in. 

This show is both wholesome and heathenous in equal measure, and after having lived abroad for a significant portion of my (admittedly still quite short) life, it was such a breath of fresh air to hear people talk so openly about how living outside your home country is both wonderful and terrifying. They’re wonderfully candid about the fact that even if you love a place dearly, no where is perfect, and you WILL hate somethings about your new home even if the majority of the experience is fantastic. I cannot rate this show highly enough.

Joined the fandom: June 5th 2020, loved it from the first episode. Obsession peaked: July maybe? I was RELIGIOUS about watching the episodes as soon as they came out. Still watch every week, but less “on time.” Fandom friends: None :( but I have tricked my partner in to listening several times :) Obsession faded: It’s dimmed from where it was, but still going strong. Fanfics you NEED to read: NONE. NEVER PLAN TO. Hard and fast rule, I don’t read fics about real people. Characters played by real people, even that’s a maybe for me. But real-real people? FUCK NO. (some of my) Favourite moments:

Any time Garnt and Connor get into a big-brain-monkey-brain argument and Joey is just LOSING his GODDAMN MIND in the corner.

Bringing a retired Japanese porn star in the show for an honest conversation about consensual sex work and showing people can have more than one career in life.

Everything about the, ‘Are Online Friends Real Friends?’ episode. GO WATCH IT, it’s brilliant.

Garnt making “chotto-THE-FUCKING-matte” an expression

August 2020 Great Pretender (TV Series)

Spent most of the summer marinating in my BSD and YOI bubbles, until THIS BAD BOI came up on my Netflix recommendations. HOOOO BOI. This is some Anime Of The Year shit right here. Has a pretty original concept (Catch Me If You Can by way of Oceans 11-ish) but generally starts out like most other shounen (sans the super powers). AND THEN EPISODE FIVE HAPPENS. Not gonna spoil it but they TOOK THAT SHIT UP A NOTCH. Brilliant, even with a bit of an insane ending. GO WATCH THIS ONE.

Joined the fandom: August 2020 Obsession peaked: Pretty much as soon as I started watching it. Fandom friends: What’s up Fiji ;) @lil-1nsane Obsession faded: Naturally faded, but so glad I watched Fanfics you NEED to read: None so far! Little scared about this one, heard mixed reviews, but maybe someday. Favourite moments:

Edamame’s “madness arc” at the end of season 2. HOOOO BOY.

Laurent getting fucking WRECKED when Edamame punches him mid way through season 2, kills me every time.

Introducing my partner to anime with this show.

October 2020 Attack on Titan (TV Series)

RETURN OF THE KING. lol

In my quest to find an anime that I can watch with my partner, I turned on season 1 of this bad boi. Holy hell I forgot how much I loved this show, NO WONDER everyone lost their goddamn minds when this show first aired. I NEED to catch up before all the season four spoilers come to get me...

Joined the fandom: Winter 2016 Obsession peaked: Basically as soon as I started watching it. Fandom friends: None yet, but I know you’re out there... Obsession faded: 2017, JUST BEFORE SEASON TWO... I should have stuck around longer I know, but it’s slowly coming back. Reeeeeally need to catch up on seasons two, three, and four. Fanfics you NEED to read: GIVE ME YOUR RECS HEATHENS. Favourite moments:

Watching my partner FREAK OUT about Eren’s “death.”

EVERYTHING ABOUT POTATO GORL! lol

Getting in a conversation with a die hard fan after I hadn’t watched it in three years and saying... “Who’s that blond bitch that cries all the time?”/ “Armin?”/ “THAT’S THE ONE!”

November 2020... kind of. Figure Skating (Sport)

Okay this one is a bit hard to explain. 

I have been a DIE HARD figure skating for A LOOOOOONG time. My grandmother got me a hat from the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City and I remember watching even then. But I first became consciously aware of different skaters, my faves, etc. from about 2010. I vividly remember watching Plushenko skating in 2014 while on a school trip to Hawaii, and my friends laughing at me as I yelled at the TV.

But I didn’t TRULY get involved in the fandom side of it until this year. I had all this knowledge bottled up, but didn’t have any skating friends to talk to... UNTIL NOW. Super ironic that this happened in a year with almost NO skating, but I’ll take what I can get ;) Also did I stay up until FOUR-GODDAMN-THIRTY IN THE MORNING a few nights ago to stream Japanese Nationals on my phone??? YOU BET I DID.

Joined the fandom: Three times; 2002, 2010, and 2020. Obsession peaked: 2014? 2018? Idk it peaks any time someone does something amazing. Fandom friends: Rachel, my girl @idancewiththefairies​, WHY DIDN’T I INTRODUCE YOU TO THIS SOONER??? Obsession faded: Hasn’t. Won’t. lol Fanfics you NEED to read: NOPE. NONE. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. No fanfics about real people. Never gonna change that. (some of my) Favourite moments:

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir doing THAT routine at the 2018 Olympics.

Rachel​ sheepishly admitting to me that Shoma may have replaced Yuzu as her favourite, and me being SO DAMN PROUD of her for growing and developing her own skating opinions apart from me.

Yuzu’s 2012 ‘Romeo and Juliet’ routine and Worlds. THE RAW FUCKING POWER OF THAT SKATE.

Plushenko, cheeky bastard, changing his 2014 Team Event routine AS IT WAS HAPPENING.

The worlds friendliest rivalry between Yuzu and Nathan.

Any thing the Shibutani’s do, and all they do to break up the stereotype that all of Ice Dancing has to be rOmAnTiC and SeNsUaL to be good.

Watching my early faves become coaches and the D R A M A.

Honorable Mentions:

Coco (Film): I watched this the weekend I came home and I owe this movie a lot. It is so sweet an heartwarming, and it a roundabout way it brought me back to Tumblr (needed somewhere to vent my feelings considering I watched the movie a solid THREE YEARS after it came out, Tumblr seemed like the place to go lol). Watched in again in 2020 and it’s just as amazing.

Jekyll and Hyde (All media): Loved this book from the first time I read it in my first year of uni. But in December 2019, my fandom understanding reached its PEAK. The musical?? The comic?? YOOOOOO.

Dear Evan Hansen (Musical): I have BARELY engaged in fandom discourse, but the MUSIC. She fucking SLAPS.

Sirius the Jaeger (TV Series): This show is such an underrated gem. It literally has so much; "dead” family drama? Eclectic international group of monster hunters? Cowboys and vampires?? Yes, yes, and YES. And the main character has the same Japanese voice actor as Atsushi from BSD!

Studio Ghilbi (Films): My love affair with Ghibli goes back to when I was about 5 and BEGGED my mom to take me to the library so we could rent Kiki’s Delivery Service on DVD. But that love has been FULLY rejuvenated this year when I went to the Ghibli Film Festival in New York City (ironically in the last week in February). If you haven’t seen them, go watch From Up On Poppy Hill, Whisper of the Heart, and The Wind Rises. Spoilers, you’re probably gonna cry.

If you’ve made it this far, THANK YOU FOR READING! 

And thank you to all the amazing people that made my 2020 not so horrible. Good riddance 2020, don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

[kaichan24]

Viktor Headcanons.

what he likes most physically about Yuri are his eyes. secondly is a tie between Yuri's butt and thighs. He cannot decide between the two.

He likes to read books, he is very interested in history and art, he is a nerd in terms of literature and history. So Viktor is quite a cultured man.

He is rich and has made his fortune based on what he has won in prizes and all his contracts with big brands around the world.

One of his parents is French or speaks French and for Viktor speaking French was one of the only things his parents inherited him, although he could also have learned it by living or training for a time in France.

One of his regrets was never being able to attend college, and he admires Yuri for having a career in skating and completing his studies at the same time.

He panics when he sees someone cry in front of him, and he doesn't know what to do.

The first years of his relationship with Yuri, he was terrible managing Yuri's anxiety, but over time he learned to do better (more than anything to do nothing, just be there supporting him)

Viktor is a genius, he is very creative and intelligent (I don't understand why some think he is stupid)

He is very attentive to Yuri, a true gentleman and loves to pamper him, buying things for him and taking him on  trips.

Even though he likes branded things, he is not a wasteful person,

He's pretty good in business, managing his career.

He always looks great, dresses well, and wears makeup all the time, until one day Yuri had an accident and Viktor doesn't even remember brushing his hair.

He hardly ever wears hoddies or sneakers outside of training.

He has a super long and expensive beauty routine.

eternally jealous of Yuri's hair and eyelashes.

He is honest, sometimes to the point of being cruel.

His favorite color is purple.

His family history was not traumatic. He is just not close to them.

he had parents that loved and cared for him, but when his fantastic skating ability was discovered, probably around the age of seven, some coach mentioned to them what they needed to do so that Viktor reach his true potential, among these things he would be send to some kind of sports school, where he could start practicing on a better skating rink, so they would have to decide whether to give this opportunity to their son, and they decided to send Viktor.

Viktor at first misses them a lot and the separation was very difficult for him, but then he got used to being away from them, and as time passed and Viktor's career advanced to stardom, he misses his parents less and less, so Viktor has probably since he was super young, when he was old enough to be an adult legally Viktor began to make his own personal and professional decisions, despite what Yakov said, by this time Viktor did not maintain communication with his parents, they simply were not part of his life anymore.

Viktor knew what a family is when he met the Katsukis and he feels privileged to be part of that family.

He thinks that Yurio is a good skater, but he is not inspired by his way of skating, and he has never been interested in training him. just choreograph for him.

Summary:  It is the day of Alpha King Viktor’s wedding. He is to marry Yuuri Katsuki, an Omega chosen by his advisors, for the benefit of his country. What he doesn’t know, is that there is a surprise in store for him at the altar.

ao3 link

Words count: 2421

True mates that found each other were lucky.

Viktor couldn't help but think as he watched his younger Omega cousin, Yuri, laughing with his Alpha, Lord Otabek Altin. They had found each other after the late Lord Altin had brought his oldest son and heir to the castle to be introduced to the royal family. The two boys, still quite young had accidentally knocked into each other and the whole room had lit up with a blinding light.

It was the most beautiful thing Viktor had ever witnessed.

It did not happen a lot. Most people chose to settle down and have families with other people. Viktor knew many couples, his late parents, Yurio's parents and their grandparents, who had all been happy with their partners.

On the other hand, there were Yakov and Lilia, Beta True Mates who had not worked out. They still cared for each other and were a formidable team and yet their marriage had ended in a huge pile of ash.

So, yes, most people were happy with the partners they found themselves. Those who found their True Mates were not guaranteed a romantic or even a happy ending with them.

Still. Most children dreamed and told stories of finding their True Mates someday.

Viktor had never been one of those children.

As the heir to the throne of a small country still recovering from the civil wars from his great grandfather's time, he always knew his marriage would be arranged for the good for his country.

Which was today. In a few hours, Viktor would stand at the altar and vow to cherish an omega chosen by for him by Yakov and Lilia.

"Hey," said Yuri, "What are you moping about?"

"I am not moping little Yuri," said Viktor, smiling, "I am contemplating,"

"Contemplating what, old man?"

Viktor shrugged, used to Yuri's mannerisms, "Life,"

Yuri snorted.

"Being dramatic as usual I see. You should probably pull yourself together. You're getting married and that poor omega is going to have to-"

"Alright Yura," said Otabek, gently, "We should leave Viktor alone for some time. You have to get ready too, my love,"

Yuri huffed but nodded. As Viktor's only living family member, he would be walking the young King down the aisle. Despite his rough language, Viktor knew Yuri took the responsibility seriously, just as Viktor had taken the responsibility of walking Yuri down the aisle two years ago.

Georgi slipped into the room just as the other two slipped out. His arms were filled with clothes and different things needed to get ready for a wedding.

"Hello there love, How are you today?"

"I'm well Georgi. You?"

"Good. Good. Well, it's time darling. Let's dress you up,"

Viktor smiled at his longtime friend and per his instructions, got up to stand on the small podium. Georgi must have sensed his mood because he put on some music and got to work silently.

As he mindlessly followed instructions to move, bring up his arm and so forth, Viktor's mind wandered to the Omega he would be marrying.

Yuuri Katsuki.

Besides sharing the name of his cousin, much to Yura's chagrin, he was also the second royal baby born to a vast empire. His parents presided over at least five countries directly and had a strong influence in three other, something they would soon have in Viktor's home country too.

What Viktor did not understand why they were marrying their son to a small devastated country.

He had only seen the omega from afar and had small conversations from a distance while being chaperoned. Per tradition, they had refrained from touching each other.

However, from what he had learned about him, the omega had a shy demeanour that masked a great understanding of politics and deep intelligence. The soft-spoken omega, that put everyone at ease with his gentle words, could become very firm and tall when needed. Not traits needed for a King or First Queen, but perfect for a Queen or a second King and Queen. According to reports, Yuuri Katsuki had attracted the eyes of many of his family's allies, powerful allies, and yet his parents had chosen to send him here. To a King who had lost most of his family and a country that still remembered the devastation of war and illness.

It is not as if they needed the marriage for the alliance. Viktor's country had metal that they could not sell themselves and needed the help of wealthier transporters. They were desperate enough that they would have agreed to the Katsuki family's terms even without the marriage and their son could have made his home in a much more comfortable place and yet here they were.

It did not make sense. Yakov and Lilia had been sceptical too but after extensive research, they could not find any ulterior motives. Yuuri himself was known to be kind by the common people and nobles alike and his parents needed nothing from Viktor. In the end, Viktor, Yuri and their advisors and friends had decided to put the matter to rest and celebrate their good fortune. The Katsuki family, after all, could not turn on them if their own son became part of the royal family. Marriage was the best way to solidify any alliance.

It would also be good to have someone like Yuuri by his side as he continued the work of his grandfather and mother. Both who had died too early. Grandfather had been assassinated by those who had not liked the outcome of the war and both his parents and Yuri's had fallen victim to an illness that had spread throughout the country.

Viktor had been young and Yakov had taken the reins but it was his turn now and Yuuri would make the perfect partner as he continued rebuilding. Maybe they could learn to care for each other too, the way his parents had.

Georgi tapped him gently, startling him out of his thoughts.

"It's almost time darling. Mila will be here with some snacks before the wedding. Don't want you to feel peckish when you get up there,"

"Thank you, Georgi, You're a godsend,"

Georgi smiled, "It's always been a pleasure, you know that Vitya,"

Viktor smiled at him, "I know,"

Georgi took his hand pulled him into a hug, "You know we all love you,"

Viktor nodded and buried his face into the other Alpha's shoulder, inhaling the calming scent.

"We, Mila and I, have met you your future Second King. We took him out a few times. He seems like a lovely person and we hope he will make you happy,"

Viktor smiled and pulled away, "Thank you,"

Georgi kissed his cheek softly and exited the room, leaving Viktor to inspect himself in the mirror.

The was a white shirt and a white coat embroidered with gold. The pants were in the same shade of gold. There were a few rings and bracelets signifying different things. Georgi had covered his face to hide any small blemishes and the blush made his cheekbones stand out. Looking himself in the mirror, he found that he was excited to see what Yuuri looked like. The Omega was a beautiful person after all.

"Well, don't you look dashing, King,"

Viktor grinned and turned around, "Mila!"

Mila out down the patter of cheeses and pastries, "Spin for me Vitya,"

Viktor grinned and did a little spin, "Presentable?"

"Absolutely," said Mila, "Here. Eat this. Yakov had them make your favourite,"

"God, I love you, people,"

"Oh, We know. You tell us all the time," said Mila, grinning, "Speaking of Love, we had a talk with Yuuri,"

"Oh yes, Georgi- wait! A talk?! Please tell that is not what it sounds like!"

"Nothing extensive. We just told him to take care of you,"

"Mila!"

And then the curiosity got the better of him, "What did he say?"

"He took it quite well, very good with words that one. Has quite a backbone too, wouldn't know it if you saw him though. Perfect for you and your dramatics,"

"Haha,"

"Now I have to go slip into my dress. You wait here. Yuri will probably be here soon,"

"Alright," said Viktor, "See you out there,"

Mila blew him a kiss before leaving him alone once again. He turned back to the mirror. After a little while, Yuri slipped in and came to stand beside him. His clothes were the same as Viktor's but without any of the gold.

"Hey," he said, softly, "It's almost time,"

"Yeah,"

"You look good,"

"You too little one," said Viktor

Yuri grumbled, "Wish you would stop calling me that,"

Viktor smiled and tucked the other's hair, "Never,"

Yuri opened his mouth to say something but Lilia chose the moment to peep in.

"Five Minutes, you two. Remember your dance lessons Vitya. You too Yura. We do not need you two to trip out there,"

"Yes Lilia," said both boys, ever obedient

As soon as she stepped back out, they both burst out laughing.

"You would think she would stop that now," Said Yuri

"I know. It's been so many years and so many dances," said Viktor

"Your feet Yura!" said Yuri, doing an impression of Lilia

"Arms straighter Vitya," said Viktor and they both burst into giggles again.

"She is pretty wonderful though," said Viktor

"I know. We would be nowhere without her and Yakov,"

Viktor smiled sadly at the wistful look on Yuri's face. Viktor at least remembered their parents. Yuri had been too young to remember any of them. He had only gotten to meet his father's father. But then Nikolai had been taken from him too. It really wasn't fair.

"Anyway," said Yuri, standing a bit straighter, "It's time to get you out there,"

Yuri took his arm and lead him through the door and into the hall. From there it was a short walk to the wedding hall.

"Are you ready?"

"As I will ever be,"

The music began and the servants opened the huge wooden doors. Yuri took Viktor's arm once again started walking him down the row of outer seats. Yuuri would be coming in from the other side. The two of them would only become visible to each other once they reached the stairs to the elevated balcony.

As they got near to the stairs, Yuri gestured to one of the Katuki guests waiting on the balcony alongside Yakov and the minister.

"That is Yuuko. They say she is a type of seer and can sense True Mates. The only condition is that she has to have met both of them,"

Viktor remembered Yuuko. He had met her only once at the beginning of the negotiations but she had left an impression. She was also one of Yuuri's closest friends.

He didn't know why Yuri was telling him this though. His cousin usually did not believe in such things. But then again, once upon a time, Yuri had not believed in True Mates either.

When they got to the bottom of the stairs, the other groom came into view along with all the guests. They were all looking at them, murmuring amongst themselves about their clothes and how they looked.

Viktor could only watch Yuuri though. The Omega looked beautiful. He was wearing the same suit as Viktor, only the colours were swapped. The Golden suit fit him perfectly and made him look like a glowing being from the old tales.

When Yuuri smiled at him shyly, Yura had to tug at his arm to keep him from tripping over the stairs. He could tell his cousin was silently laughing at him.

"Get yourself together, you fool," said Yuri, all with mirth in his eyes, "You can ogle him later. Get through this first,"

"Yeah. Yeah,"

When they got to the intended place on the balcony, Viktor took a peek at the audience. Seeing, Mile, Georgi and the rest of his friends he smiled and turned his attention back to the minister.

"Who is standing with the grooms today?"

"I am Yakov. Viktor's guardian between the age of ten to the say he became a man,"

"I am Yuri, Viktor's blood cousin,"

"I am Mari, Yuuri's sister,"

"I am Yuuko, Yuuri's advisor and friend,"

"Wonderful. Let us begin. Yuri, Mari please extend the grooms' hands toward each other so they might clasp them,"

Mari took Yuuri's right hand while Yuri took Viktor's. Viktor's hand went palm up and Yuuri's hand was placed on top of his palm down.

Viktor was not expecting what happened next.

A gasp went through the room as a blinding white light emitted from their hands surrounding the two grooms until it felt to Viktor that they were the only two people there.

Viktor and Yuuri stared at each other for a few seconds before the light was dying down and they were plunged back into a room filled with shocked murmurs and movements.

Through his daze and surprise, Viktor noticed that while Yuuri looked dazed too, he did not look that surprised by them being True Mates. A glance around showed that neither did Yuuko and Mari. But how-

Oh.

Oh.

They had known.

What had Yuri said? Yuuko had to meet both mates to know. Now that he thought about it, the marriage had not been a suggestion until after he had shaken hands with Yuuko.

They had known.

When he looked back to Yuuri, there was a sheepish and apologetic look on his face. Well, that confirmed it.

But why had they waited so long to test it?

Why not tell him beforehand and get it over with?

Why wait? Did that want a spectacle?

Were they trying to keep Yuulo's power a secret?

So many questions. So few answers.

However, as gazed at Yuuri, his soft brown eyes filled with intelligence and kindness, his flushed cheeks and gentle smile, only one question came out.

"Can I kiss you Yuuri?"

In response, Yuuri surged up and locked their lips together in a passionate kiss.

Viktor could not help the full body shudder that resulted.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Finding your True Mate did not guarantee you a romantic or even a happy ending.

However.

True mates that found each other were lucky.

Viktor certainly felt lucky.

Dedicate your heart (and wallet ;w;): my (SNK) trip in Tokyo

OK folks ♥ ! Finally I have time to write a short summary about my travel in Tokyo ... or better, about the fandom part. My dear @judarchan and I decided to travel there around the end of July because some of our favourite anime were airing around this time of the year (YOI, SNK, Free!, K, etc ..). Tbh we were kinda suprised to find few stuff about some of them.

My personal hunt regarded especially YOI and SNK (and K and other anime too). Well tbh about Yoi there wasn’t so much stuff around, except doujinshi! Oh there were LOT OF THEM! HOW MANY VICTUURI DOUJINSHI çOç! There was half floor of Akihabara’s Tora no Ana only for them!! Otherwise ... yes something but I was expecting more. And even less, since my hunt was basically only about Victor, and his stuff was the most sold and the rarest (and so more expansive yay ... ) (Instead there were lot of Yuuri and many stuff about Yurio too ...) . So I wasn’t able to buy what I really wanted or needed the most *sigh* (but still I bought some cute Victor’s pins and acrilyc figures uwu”)

I was more lucky (well not my wallet XD) about SNK! There was LOT and LOT of stuff about SNK around! Every shop in Akihabara or Ikebukuro had so many SNK related things ... TONS of them (my poor wallet again ç_ç). And of course the characters with more merchandising were Eren (my precious bae ♥) and Levi. And Ereri/Riren the ship with more stuff and doujnshi. how.many.doujinshi ç_ç !! Whole walls filled with doujinshi about them ... çwç  And they were often put on the spotlight among the general fandom most sold doujinshi too ;w; *proud*. So yeah I can confirm that Ereri/Riren is incredibly strong in Japan ♥ (my dear @judarchan can confirm the amout of time I took to check carefully how many Ereri/Riren doujinshi there were in every single store we visited xD It was like a social study u_u” )

There were SNK advertisments into the metro and in Akihabara too ♥ (my son being strong and beautiful ♥ ... it was a really really big ad on Radio Kaikan in Akihabara *_* )

in front of him, ofc Levi ♥:

into the metro:

and this was inside the Animate of Ikebukuro (if I remember right ...) :

Sadly I couldn’t buy all what I wanted because I didn’t have space in my suitbags anymore and ... no money anymore too aehm ^^”““ ... I tried to buy every item “matched”: so one item of Eren and its matching Levi item. And, sadly, I have noticed how they are really milking Levi’s character a lot: Eren and Levi gadgets were generally the most expensive among SNK charas (yay ..... so lucky ^^”), but Levi’s were the most expensive of all and the rarest ones... *sigh*. Basically I spent lot of money for keeping my boys together ok *sob*  .. dedicate your heart indeed (and wallet ... TwT” ) ;w; ♥. One of the very few thing I haven’t bought “matched” was the body pillow ... I found them the last day of my trip and I had money only for one ç_ç” and ... Eren is my bae and my son and he will always get the first place ♥ (also the pillow was, imo, better drawn than Levi’s). (But as soon as I can, I will get even Levi and the other things I couldn’t buy like the two Figma *sigh sob snif*)

he’s so beautiful ;w; ♥♥♥

Some of Eren and Levi stuff I bought (maybe I’m forgetting something ..):

the cloak ♥ (very very very well done ♥), Eren and Levi Nendoroid, the tote bag, three doujinshi (2 anthologies), random Eren stuff,

a bunch of bbys ♥

@_@” so many can badges and keychains @_@ (and the towel of the Scouts ♥)

......maaany Eren, Levi, EreriRiren clearfiles ;w; ♥ !!! (the light in my room is shitty sorry )

And this is my Ita bag EreriRiren themed ♥ (just a wip because it’s still a mess and I want to add other things too ... I’d need more space *sigh* ... ): I nicknamed it “dedicate your heart and your wallet bag” ;w;”““ ♥

Of course we also went to Tobu Zoo event .. ! ♥ I mean ... real life sized statues of my OTP ... I HAD TO ;w;  We went there Saturday 4 August. Reading other users’ experiences, we were expecting lot of people tbh. But, maybe because it was hot as hell *dies* or maybe because the event was ending? idk but it was kinda calm. It was really nice *_* :

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ my scouting dorks ;w; ♥

... my cleaning freak dorks ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ç_ç

so cute ;w; ♥ ♥ ♥

And then we arrived to the event plaza ♥

AND HERE ... HERE ... THEY APPEARED in front of me çwç ♥♥♥

cloooser ♥

M Y  G O R G E O U S  C R E A T U R E S  ♥ ç__ç ♥

OH my heart ;w; ♥ (urgh my hand was shaking bc FEEEELINGS sorry çwç” )

Then (after staring at them for like 15 minutes with tears in my eyes and so on ;w; ...) we ate teriyaki at this stand:

and, as usual, I wasn’t lucky with the cards I got T_T (same with the stickers and same with gashapon in Akihabara ... >.>” ). I got my least fav chara twice DX so I started to jump to literally every other table around me for asking people to exchange their cards/stickers with mine. I was enough lucky to get rid of of said chara quickly for other two random chara (and they sold me a Eren keychain because “they didn’t want him” wooo wooo rude how can you be so ungrateful with my son è.è” so I rescued him as fast as light u_u they don’t deserve you my sweet sunshine ;w; ♥ ). And another very kind guy exchanged his Levi for my Mikasa yay! ♥ wherever you are now, kind guy, thank you ♥ Hope you will have a very nice life ♥ *blows a kiss* ♥

Also I bought lot of stuff x_x (so much Eren and Levi merchandising *sigh* ♥)

Then we went to the dessert stand/shop too!

and we both got an Eren (ofc ♥) icecream, the pink one ♥: it was delicious ;w; ! (like my precious son ♥)

and even there I wasn’t lucky with the charas but at least I didn’t get my least fav this time.

So now I have some cards/stickers to exchange with Eren’s ones or with the one of Levi I still miss. I have the complete collection of Armin and the two cards of Hanji.  (and I also have two Reiner  -wow so lucky ...- and one Jean keychains that I got with gashapons to exchange with everything Eren or Levi related T_T”) If anyone is interested, pls contact me ♥

And .. that’s all I guess?? °-°”

tl;rl: this pic is a good short summary of my SNK trip in Tokyo ~ ♥ (yeah .. that’s me ^^”):

... and that’s all folks ♥ thanks for reading my silly memories <3

[lemonwritesstuff]

Let’s run away together~

This is my gift for @dyeingdoll the @victuurisummerloving project! I hope you like it! 

Prompt: Post Cannon Domestic Bliss

Warnings: None

“So, Victor, what will happen with you and Yuuri now that the Grand Prix has ended?” A reporter asked.

“Well, we plan on getting married towards the end of next summer, so I am taking another year off. I’m so sorry about this but this is what Yuuri and I feel is best for the two of us.” Victor replied, not letting go of Yuuri’s hand at all.

“Yeah, I really love Victor and I want to spend more time with time off the ice.” Yuuri replied. “This won’t be the end of our skating careers though. We may skate another season after this year. But both of our careers will come to an end in the next few years.

“Thank you so much for your time, guys! Have a safe journey back to Japan!” The reporter said, cheerily at the couple

“Now boarding flight 1573 to Hasetsu, Japan. Boarding ends in 1 hour.” announced the automated female voice announced over the tannoy, so loud that it woke Yuuri up.

“Viyta, wake up, our flight’s boarding.” he said in a soft tone while patting his fiance gently to also wake him up. Victor sat up slowly while rubbing his eyes and groaning.

“Finally. It’s been delayed for five hours. What time is it?” he asked, his eyes locking onto Yuuri’s with a smile.

“10:45 pm” Yuuri replied. It was all going well until they got to the airport, where they were told their flight was delayed. But neither of them really cared. Yuuri was excited to finally go home after a crazy season, he missed his family so much. Victor was excited too. He missed Makkachin and his friends.

“Where do you want to get married, Yuuri?” Victor asked randomly on the flight. Yuuri looked up at his fiancee, shocked, surprised but also happy. Happy that he could spend the rest of his life with the most handsome man in the universe.

“I was thinking Australia, the beaches are so nice there. We should get married on the beach!” Yuuri replied, letting out an excited gasp at his idea.

“Don’t worry, I have a plan.” Victor said, playfully, shooting his lover a wink.

“Goodnight, moya lyubov'”

“Goodnight, watashi no ai”

It was 11am when they landed in Hasetsu, Yuuri felt like his jet lag would be the death of him, but he wanted to see his family more than anything.

“HEY YUURI! OVER HERE!” a familiar voice shouted.

Yuuko.

“Hey guys!” Yuuri replied, still half asleep but happy to see his best friend and his family.

“Hey Victor! How have you two been?” Minami asked, his voice full of excitement, How could someone have this much energy for this early in the morning? Whatever, Victor was happy to see the kid after last season, he brought so much energy to whatever room or conversation he was in.

“We’re alright Minami, just tired.” Victor replied, letting a tiny chuckle slip out of his mouth. “The plane was delayed for five hours and we were not informed until we got to the airport, so that sucked. But everything else was alright.”

“That’s good. We’ve all been waiting for you. Yuuri’s mom has really been missing you both.” Minami said cheerily before walking over, Victor following him, to Yuuri, who was talking to Yuuko.

“Makkachin has missed you both like mad, but he loves your mom. He’s glad you’re both back.” Yuuko said, in her usual soft, gentle voice.

“I’m sure he has. I hate the fact that the seasons are so long, but they wouldn’t be able to fit everything in, so we’ll have to deal with it” Yuuri replied, a smile spreading across his face. Victor loved seeing Yuuri smile, mainly because he was really cute, but his smile could often be contagious, and this case wasn’t any different, as Victor spotted a smile spreading across both his face and Yuuko’s face.

“Let’s get you home then, Yuuri. We can’t Mrs Katsuki waiting for her precious child.” Victor interjected, putting his arm

“Ok, ok we’re coming now.” the raven haired man replied, staring at his fiancee’s beautiful ocean blue eyes.

When Yuuri had got back to the hot spring after visiting the ice rink, he saw Victor talking to Yuuri’s mom. He presumed they were just catching up, but Yuuri hoped that his fiancee was discussing a wedding with her.

He was.

“I was hoping I could marry your son in Australia, Mrs Katsuki. He suggested the idea on the plane and I loved the way his face lit up. I want to make him happy for the rest of his life.” Victor asked, sternly but with a gentle undertone.

“Oh my gosh Viyta, of course! He’s always loved you so I am more than happy for you to marry my son.” Hiroko replies, a hue smile spreading across her face. Her son was going to be spending the rest of his life with the best man in the world.

Neither of them could wait.

2 months later, everyone is in Australia and the wedding is 2 days away.

Everyone was on the beach relaxing whilst also trying to push the stress of the wedding away. Victor and Makkachin were in the sea, Mila was trying to tan, Yurio was asleep and Minami was having a water with a few of the others. Yuuri and Phichit were under a parasol, catching up after a long season.

“And then I fell straight on my butt! It hurt really badly, so I had to have a few days off, but I was back on the ice just under a week later.” Phichit laughed.

“Man that sucks, glad you’re better though.” Yuuri replied. The two sat in silence for a while, but it wasn’t awkward. They were taking in Australia’s beautiful scenery, sitting on the same beach that Yuuri and Victor would be getting married on two days later.

“Are you nervous?” Phichit said, breaking the silence between them.

“Well, kind of,” Yuuri responded. “But it’s going to make both of us happy, so I try to push the negative thoughts away.”

“That’s understandable, man.” Phichit checked the time on his phone.

“Jesus! It’s 6pm already!” Phichit exclaimed. “We should start packing up now, we need to get back to the hotel and join the others.”

“Yeah. that’s a good idea. Let’s go!” Yuuri responded.

He was so excited for the future.

2 days later, on the day of the wedding.

Victor was standing at the top of the isle, admiring how handsome Yuuri looked. Thank God he was going to be spending the rest of his life with him.

Yuuri walked up the aisle, his parents either side of him, and Victor was the happiest he’d ever been. Yuuri thanked his parents and kissed them both on the cheek.

“You look amazing.” is all Victor could say as he was standing there, in awe of his beautiful soon to be husband.

“So do you, Viyta.” Yuuri responded, a crimson blush creeping across his face. The vicar finally started the service.

Everyone was already crying, and when it came to saying “I do”, it was no exception.

“Do you, Yuuri Katsuki, take Victor to be your lawfully wedded husband?”

“I do”

And do you, Victor Nikiforov, take Yuuri to be your lawfully wedded husband?”

“I do.”

“Well, I now declare you husbands!” the vicar cheered. Before anyone could say anything, Victor and Yuuri’s lips were together, this kiss being the most passionate and sweet one they had ever shared. Everyone cheered for them, as tears started to form in Yuuri’s eyes. They broke apart from the kiss and placed their foreheads on each other.

“I love you, Viyta.”

“I love you too, Katsudon.

Let's run away together.”

Fic4U: Yuri! on Ice pt 2

Starlight by whatsup_buttercup: “This is my room,” Viktor says breezily. “I’d love to give you your own space, but, well, the ship isn’t very big, and I imagine we’re going to be spending a lot of time together.”

Viktor’s not even looking at him, instead going over messages on his phone. Yuuri clenches his hands into fists. Since childhood, Viktor had been a dream to reach for, someone Yuuri aspired to meet one day, to dance on the same level with. Now he’s here to be his obedient, bedazzled whore; a decoration in this empty room.

(“Time and Relative Dimension in Space,” the Doctor had proudly explained which made absolutely no sense. But then, nothing in the past hour had made any kind of sense so Yuuri’s willing to go with it.

It’s probably not a dream.  Probably.)

Boof? Boof.

It’s the day of Viktor and Yuuri’s wedding.

Everything looks perfect. The decorations are perfect, every single visitor looks stunning, and Phichit is certain Yuuri will look absolutely breathtaking when those big doors at the end of the hall open.

There’s just one problem, and unfortunately, it’s a big one.

The groom, Viktor Nikiforov? The five time world champion? The Living Legend? The most decorated men’s figure skater in history?

Yeah, he looks downright ridiculous.

(Or the time where Phichit thought Viktor wanted to hurt Yuuri when all Viktor wanted to do was hurt himself with Yuuri’s beauty.)

“It’s almost like a marriage proposal,” Viktoria says, and the thing is—the thing is, if Viktoria wanted it to be, Yuri would make it one. If Viktoria had asked, “Is that a marriage proposal?” Yuri would have unhesitatingly said yes. She would have lowered herself onto a knee before Viktoria in Fukuoka Airport, the officially certified least romantic place in the world, and said Viktoria Konstantinovna Nikiforova, please—please—

(Yuri doesn’t know if Viktoria will stay. She wants her to. She wants her to want to. But she doesn’t want to be the only thing holding Viktoria here. Life for Yuri Katsuki is, as always, Hard.)

Now he gazes longingly at Russian immigrants. Maybe he’ll see Nikiforov wearing a new shirt at the next Fort. Maybe he’ll drown at a river crossing first.

“You know what they say…” Yuri replies. “If you crack the ice once, you better be ready to shatter the whole motherfucking pond.” In a dictatorship dominated by the International Skating Union, Yuri was bound to end up in prison sooner or later. He isn’t planning to stay there, though. No—Yuri’s got bigger plans.

[imatastyporkcutletbowl]

Victor Rushes to the hospital to learn Yuuri’s condition as the Gotei team begins their work.

Victor’s handsome face wore an intense look that seemed completely unlike him as he endured the seemingly endless flight back from Spain to Saint Petersburg. His finger tapped lightly against the earbud in his left ear as he listened to the news and watched the feed that played on the video screen in front of him. His heart ached at seeing images of Yuri’s smiling face and clips of his past performances.

“The skating world is in shock at the news that skater, Yuuri Katsuki, was attacked in a Saint Petersburg park near the home he shares with Victor Nikiforov. We go to our affiliate in Saint Petersburg, Russia, for the latest on this developing story. Jana?”

The image shifted to show a woman standing in a sea of other media personnel, in front of the hospital.

“I’m standing here, in front of the Saint Petersburg hospital where Yuuri Katsuki was said to have been brought for treatment last night, after a vicious attack that took place in a park near the home he shares with fiancé, coach and fellow skater, Victor Nikiforov. Hospital staff refused to release any information on Katsuki’s condition, other than to say that he is alive, and that competent medical personnel are remaining with him around the clock.

Worried friends, fellow skaters, supporters and family have rushed to the hospital, and hospital staff have secluded them to wait for news. We were able to capture, here, the arrival of friend, Yuri Plisetsky with fellow skater, Otabek Altin.

Victor’s eyes narrowed, studying the blonde youth’s face and spying instantly the little hints of anxiety that others would easily miss. His eyes softened and he gave a sympathetic sigh.

“Yurio, my Yuuri would be so touched to see you worry for him this way. You’ve grown a heart, my friend. Let’s hope that new heart is not broken, along with ours. Yuuri, please be all right. I don’t know what I would do…”

His worried eyes turned away from the video screen, but he couldn’t help seeing Yuuri’s smiling face reflected against the smooth windowpane.

Yuuri…

His fingertip traced the lines of his fiancé’s lovely face and tears threatened.

Yuuri, please be all right.

As soon as the plane touched down, he hurried out and through the security checkpoint, then picked up his bags, his mind focused on one thing, and one thing only…to reach the side of his badly injured lover.

I felt it like a knife through my heart when you fell, Yuuri. But I shouldn’t be surprised it was like that. I’ve been feeling everything twice as much since becoming your coach and your lover.

Your fiancé.

You still owe me a gold medal to kiss, and a wedding when you win it. Yuuri, we are only at the beginning of our dreams. You wouldn’t dare to leave me now, would you?

He started to run towards a taxi, but skidded to a stop, looking around as a deep, male voice called out his name.

“Vitya!”

Relief flooded Victor’s face, and he hurried to meet his coach, where the man stood by a dark colored limousine.

“What are you doing here, Yakov?” Victor exclaimed, “I thought you were still abroad with Yurio.”

“We came back a day early to do a photo shoot,” the elder coach explained, “I was approached about you and Yuuri doing one as well. The government is promoting the skating arts aggressively in advance of the next Olympics.”

“Ah, right,” Victor acknowledged, “I suppose that’s a good thing. I’m sure Yuuri would agree, but have you heard anything? Anything at all? Are Yuuri’s parents here?”

“They arrived a short time ago. They are at the hospital with some friends of yours, who were competing locally. Come now.”

The two fell quiet as the driver quickly loaded Victor’s bags into the trunk, then sped out of the airport, and across town to the large, central hospital. The driver headed past the large crowd near the front doors and to a guarded entry.

“May I see your identification, please,” the guard on duty requested.

“This is Victor Nikiforov,” the driver explained, handing over the documents, “He is here to see Yuuri Katsuki. We’ve already been given permission to enter.”

“Go on, then,” the guard answered, studying the documents for a moment, then handing them back.

The driver guided the limousine into the parking area, where Victor opened the door and leapt out of the vehicle, as soon as the wheels stopped turning.

“Vitya!”

He ignored his coach and ran into the building, looking around frantically and finding the nearest staff member, a middle-aged nurse, who started to speak to him sternly, then froze in recognition.

“It’s you, Victor!” she exclaimed, “Come right this way. Yuuri’s family is about to hear from the doctor about his condition. He did poorly during the night and was taken into surgery this morning. He needed a transfusion, which he was luckily able to get. But there was additional damage and bleeding that the doctors needed to see to.”

“But he is alive?” Victor asked urgently, “My Yuuri is alive?”

“He is alive,” the nurse confirmed as she guided him into the private waiting area.

“Vic-chan!” Yuuri’s mother sobbed, running to hug him, “Thank you so much for coming back so quickly.”

“I would have been here faster,” Victor said, hugging her tightly, “but the only flight I could get had to make a couple of stops. I thought I’d never get here.”

“You’re here now, Vic-chan,” Yuuri’s mother said in a more collected voice, “Yuuri will be glad.”

Victor started to answer, then felt all of the air sucked out of his lungs as a doctor and nurse appeared in the doorway of the waiting room.

“Please, sir, how is my son?” Yuuri’s father asked as Victor held on to Yuuri’s mother, unable to make his voice sound.

The doctor gazed at them for a moment through tired, but relieved looking eyes.

“Yuuri’s body was subjected to a sudden shock that caused him significant blood loss,” he explained, “We were able to stop it, but struggled during the night when it began to bleed again, unexpectedly. We have not been able to divine exactly what happened, but something was affecting his body’s ability to heal itself. We struggled with that, and finally had to resort to additional transfusions and surgery, but we have him completely stabilized now, and his organs show every sign of continuing to be fully functional, despite the damage.”

The doctor paused, a little sadness coming into his eyes.

“I know that Yuuri is a competitive figure skater, and I must be honest with you. Even though there was no damage to his arms or legs and he will, most likely recover fully, it may be difficult for him to continue at the level he is used to performing.”

Victor’s already pale face went white.

“What are you saying?” he demanded, “You are saying that he will have to retire?”

“I am saying that I can’t be sure he can continue to do something that puts that level of stress on his body. Yuuri is still not out of the woods. We must wait for him to regain consciousness, and we must watch carefully for any signs of problems in his arms or legs that might result from the blood loss he suffered before.”

“I thought that you said he was going to make a full recovery!” Victor cried, tears threatening, “But, now you say that…that…”

“I am saying that it will take longer to know the full outcome,” the doctor said patiently, “Our staff will be with him around the clock to make sure he receives the best possible care, and we encourage you to sit with him, talk to him. It may help him to have you there.”

“Which way do I go?” Victor asked, placing a hand on the doctor’s arm, “Where is he?”

“He has been taken to the third floor, room 315. It is a private room, and three people may go in at a time to sit with him. I will be in to check his progress every few hours, and will come immediately if there are any problems.”

“Thank you,” Victor said breathlessly, turning and running out of the room.

He ran heedlessly to the elevator, then became too impatient and ran up the stairs instead.

Yuuri, you have fought hard to stay alive until I could reach you. It’ll be okay now that we will be together. Just…just don’t leave me!

He reached the third floor and dashed out of the stairwell, heading down the hallway and to a security checkpoint, where he panted out his name and was waved on. He closed the last few steps in a near panic, then slowed and stopped in the doorway, staring.

Yuuri laid on his back, slightly elevated and comfortably covered in a sheet and blanket. His face looked deathly pale and the only movement was the slow rise and fall of his breathing.

“Yuuri,” he said solemnly, “I am here.”

XXXXXXXXXX

Echoing footsteps sounded in the precipice world as the four shinigamis assigned to Saint Petersburg headed quickly to their destination. Toshiro ran alongside Tetsuya as Byakuya and Kisuke led.

“What’s gotten into them?” Toshiro mused, “That hell butterfly Byakuya got must have been bad news.”

“A skater was injured,” Tetsuya panted softly, “and it was a highly ranked skater. A fourth division healer was in the area and infiltrated the surgery team. He was able to quietly rid the skater’s body of damaging reiatsu that was slowly killing him, but there was damage that requires a different type of healing. I think I will be asked to assist, using my waterforms.”

“Your waterforms?” Toshiro asked, blinking, “How will they…?”

He broke off as the group reached the exit point and Kisuke opened the doorway.

“Now remember,” Kisuke warned them, “an advance team has already used the adjustor to very slightly shift reality so that we’ll fit in. Byakuya, you are a former skater who was expected to become a world champion, but who was forced out of competition by injury. Instead, you now coach your cousin, Tetsuya, who has shown promise, but you have carefully protected as he developed. This will be Tetsuya’s first entrance into the men’s division. Toshiro is another promising student who you coach. You are on friendly terms with the family of the skater, whose name is Yuuri Katsuki.”

“He is Japanese?” Tetsuya noted.

“Yes, and you know each other because you have, on occasion, trained at the ice rink in Japan that he has used. Yuuri is engaged to another male skater, Victor Nikiforov, whom you also know as an inspiration for your own skating. We’ll be going to the hospital, and we should be on the hospital’s list of approved visitors. I am listed as a well-known consultant, who is friends with you, Byakuya, because I was the consulting doctor who helped when you suffered your injury. Just play it cool and let the devices I gave you feed you any information you need so that no one figures out who we really are.”

The group stepped out of the senkaimon and into a park, a short distance from the hospital, where they paused briefly to enter their gigais, before heading to the hospital. They hurried inside and were swiftly greeted and hurried through security.

“Yuuri’s family is taking turns visiting him,” the nurse guiding them informed them, “Doctor Urahara, I will take you to consult with Yuuri’s physician. Yuuri’s parents have asked for the other three of you to be brought to them. Victor is with Yuuri now, but you can go in to speak to him also, after you have spoken with Yuuri’s parents.”

“Very well,” Kisuke answered, waiting until the nurse had led the others to the little waiting area, then following her down the hall.

“Ah, Byakuya-san! Tetsuya-kun! Toshiro-kun! It’s so good you are here for Yuuri!” the skater’s mother greeted them, wiping her eyes.

“Thank you,” Yuuri’s father said, bowing, “Yuuri will be glad to know you are here. He is not awake yet, but soon.”

“We’ll be happy to show you to Yuuri’s room,” the skater’s mother offered, “Since Victor is not leaving him, two can go in at a time.”

Toshiro smiled and took the anxious woman’s hand.

“Why don’t you two go, and I will stay here and visit?” he offered.

Yuuri’s father led Byakuya and Tetsuya out of the waiting room and down the hallway.

“Tetsuya,” Byakuya said under his breath, “I want you to make physical contact with Yuuri and see if you can connect with him to better assess his exact needs.”

“Hai.”

Their guide stopped outside one of the rooms and left them to enter. They walked into the room and found Yuuri sleeping peacefully in the bed and his tired looking fiancé sitting silently at his side.

“Byakuya, Tetsuya, it’s good to see you,” Victor said in a weary voice, “I heard that you’ve brought Kisuke Urahara to consult?”

“We have,” Byakuya assured him.

“I know that Doctor Urahara will be able to help Yuuri-san,” Tetsuya encouraged him.

“I hope so,” Victor said anxiously, “Yuuri has stabilized, but he is still unconscious. His body seems to be healing, but he just won’t wake for us.”

“That must be distressing for you,” Byakuya said, joining Victor on one side of Yuuri as Tetsuya took a place across from them.

Tetsuya slipped a hand into Yuuri’s, bowing his head as though praying silently. As Byakuya engaged Victor in conversation, Tetsuya loosed his reiatsu and carefully sought a connection with the unconscious man.

If I make a good enough connection with him, I should be able to enter his inner world to evaluate it. Hopefully, when I enter, I will find Yuuri awake and able to communicate with me.

He found he had to carefully focus for several long minutes, but eventually, he felt the opening of the connection and was drawn down into the injured skater’s spirit matrix.

Every sentient creature has an inner world. Most think, when they enter, that it is just a construct of the mind, a mental retreat that they go to for reflection and thought. But to the shinigami, the inner world is a place where one also connects with the source of his power. Yuuri is a talented figure skater. It is well documented that humans who excel in abilities related to the elements air, fire, earth and water do so because they possess related powers that will develop more fully when they pass over into Soul Society. Yuuri may well have an undiscovered ability to manipulate ice or water. This will be useful while I am trying to help him.

Tetsuya felt the presence of heavy, driving rain as he passed over, into the injured skater’s inner world.

I’m not surprised that there is rain. Storms in one’s inner world are often related to emotional or physical turmoil. The intensity of the storm reflects the level of challenge in bringing things back into a proper state of balance. I can feel that there has been a heavy shock to Yuuri’s body, and I also sense that something is not right here. I shall have to make contact with Yuuri and investigate.

Tetsuya’s blue eyes closed, and he focused on the place where Yuuri’s spirit resonated most strongly. He headed through a cluster of trees and emerged near a large, frozen lake, where he spotted the skater kneeling on the shore and struggling with strange looking vines of some kind that seemed to be coming from beneath the lake’s icy cover.

“Yuuri-san!” Tetsuya called out, hurrying to the kneeling man’s side and touching a hand to his.

“Tetsuya-kun?” Yuuri inquired anxiously, “Tetsuya-kun, what are you doing here? Am I dreaming this? What’s going on? What is this thing that tries to pull me under?”

“It’s all right,” Tetsuya said reassuringly, “I’m here to help you, Yuuri-san. Please, if you will just close your eyes for a moment. I will help you.”

Yuuri gave him a look of uncertainty, but then nodded and closed his eyes.

Tetsuya’s fingers touched the offending vines, and he instantly felt the source that laid beneath the surface of the frozen lake.

Ah, the healer was able to remove the reiatsu of the creature that injured Yuuri, but that creature left a transformative essence that grew into this extension of itself. It remains here, deep down, continuing to feed on Yuuri’s reiatsu.

Invoking his freezing power, Tetsuya gripped the tendril that had wrapped itself around Yuuri, and he breathed a soft command.

“Kudakero.”

The ice covered tendril shattered instantly, setting of a chain reaction that rumbled through the area, cracking the surface of the lake and breaking apart the rest of the creature that had formed.

Behind Tetsuya, Yuuri opened his eyes and sucked in a surprised breath at seeing his acquaintance surrounded in blue light as Tetsuya’s power swept through the area, cleansing it thoroughly.

“What was that? What did you do?” Yuuri asked in a frightened voice, “If this really happening?

The skater looked down at himself, noticing for the first time, the glowing chain that extended out of his chest and off into the distance.

“What is this?” he asked, his voice shaking, “Tetsuya-kun?”

“It’s all right,” Tetsuya assured him, “Yuuri-san, please don’t be afraid. That is just your soul chain. It connects you with your body. And I am just a helpful reflection of someone you know, who is here to help you find your way back.”

“Find my way back?” Yuuri repeated in a haunted tone, “Where am I? Where is Victor?”

“Victor is right beside you,” Tetsuya promised, “You are unconscious, and your mind is just working to try to wake your body. I am here to help, Yuuri-san.”

Tetsuya focused on the broken ice of the lake in front of them. He first extended a hand, making the ice turn completely to water, then he froze the lake, making a sort of icy mirror that reflected the hospital, where the injured skater’s body laid.

“Victor!” Yuuri gasped, reaching out, only to have his fingers impeded by the ice.

The rain around the two fell harder as Tetsuya knelt beside the distraught skater and took his other hand.

“Victor!” Yuuri cried again, running his fingers along the reflection of his fiancé’s handsome face, “Why can’t I go back to him? Victor!”

“You will be able to go back,” Tetsuya said firmly, squeezing Yuuri’s hand, “but you see the rain that is falling? There is still a storm here, which means that something is still not right. You need to try to stay calm and let your body and spirit heal. I know you’re scared, but being calm will help to ease the storm.”

“But, why is there a storm?” Yuuri asked, “What caused it?”

“There was a great shock to your body and spirit when you were attacked,” Tetsuya explained, “The creature that attacked you…”

“It was awful!” Yuuri said shakily as he remembered, “I couldn’t see it until just after it slashed me. It was huge, with sharp fangs and claws, and it had a hole in its chest. It screeched so loud the sound rang in my ears! I couldn’t run. I couldn’t even move. I was sure it was going to finish me off.”

“It seems to have been distracted,” Tetsuya surmised, “Luckily, you were brought to the hospital quickly and you are healing. But it is a problem that you can’t wake. Yuuri-san, please trust me. You will wake up soon. And while you wait, I will do everything I can to protect and to help you!”

Tagged by @d2diamond​, thank you so much and sorry it took so long to get to this! ;A;

1. Which Yuri on Ice character is your favorite?

While I genuinely love all the charas especially the underappreciated minor charas, my undeniable biases are Yuuri and Phichit ^ ^;;;;

2. Which song/musical piece is your favorite from Yuri on Ice?

While I do of course love YOI and if we’re allowed to count them, the OP and ED, I’m gonna have to go with A Tales of Sleeping Prince, I LOVE this piece, damn Georgi u lucky son

3. If you could spend an evening with ONE YoI character who would it be?

ME? Hang out with a HUMAN?? One i don’t know WELL???? UHHHHH UMMMM UhhhhhHHHhhhhhhh........MAKKACHIN! or Potya. Wait, Makkachin, I’ll pet sit, sorry I love Potya but Victor looks like he’d pay more for a petsitter and if I get to hang out with a fluff either way I’d also prefer to get more money *is poor and probably taking this prompt in the wrong direction*

4. What would the two of you do? (Nightclub? Movie night? Make-out on the couch?)

Um. We’d go on a walk, I’d pick up poop, then I’d feed Makka and then myself, and then we’d snuggle and nap, or Makka would nap and I’d go back to drawing like I always do, chop chop gotta be productive even when petsitting HAHAHAHA...

5. If your favorite character promised to skate to a song/musical piece that you picked out, what would it be?

Oh gosh, since Phichit probably already knows what he wants to skate I’ll say Yuuri for this one. I’d like to see him skate to something dark, sexy, and gothic, and actually my original Halloween Post idea (that I scrapped because it seemed like it’d be a pain in the ass to draw; turns out the idea I went with was more of a pain in the ass) was for him to skate an exhibition piece with both Yurio and Victor to the Crimson Peak movie OST. A medley that includes the beautiful main theme but also bits of other things, listen to the ending credits music + maybe piano lullaby for the gist ^ ^;

6. Your YoI BFF (See above) is now skating to the song you picked out, … what are they wearing?

I actually had it all sketched out orz. Yuuri’d be in a crimson dress-suit with a longer back train and a spinal column like detailing in the back, inspired by Lucille’s red dress. (Victor would be in all black, and Yurio all white, both gradually staining/stripping to reveal more red...)

7. If you talked your YoI BFF into a blind date, who would they be set up with? (Anyone. from IRL, another fandom, another YoI character).

UH. the entire YOI cast Wait what do you mean that’s not a date that’s a party? UhhhHhhhHHHh...well, then for variety’s sake I’m going to say Otabek.

8. Where would their date take place?

Somewhere modest and quiet if in a larger city, somewhere familiar and comfortable if closer to home. Probably dinner at a nice but not too formal restaurant, then move to a cafe to talk quietly or walk outside weather permitting ^ ^;

9. Would you slip them a condom before they left for their date?

AHAHAHAHAH I would if I could but I am the last person to have one on me so uh...(the anti-social demi does not have condoms HAHAHA)

10. If you decided to follow along, you know just to make sure, but not get caught, who would join you while you spied kept an eye on them? (Anyone, from IRL, another fandom, another YoI character).

Yuuri and Otabek? Well, OBVIOUSLY Yurio. And likely one of two situations would happen: 1) We bicker about getting too close and getting caught and whether this is an invasion of privacy, end up being too paranoid and lose them completely, or 2) we get stopped by an officer for looking/acting too suspicious and end up slinking home mildly traumatized...

11. How well do you think the date would go? (On a scale of … Came home early to condom got used?)

10, the date went well and both of them got home before us and are cuddling with the pets, we’re the ones traumatized and regretting ever leaving the house...

....wow was this scenario too specific >.>;;

Thanks so much for tagging, this was really fun! ^ ^ I am too tired to do my own orz

Day 16: Christmas Sweaters from Home

Viktor and Yuri stared down at the box in front of them. It had been addressed to Vicchan and Yurio in messily scrawled letters and the rest had been in beautiful slanted Japanese. 

“Why the hell is that piggy sending us mail?” Yuri said as he looked back up at Viktor.

“That’s not Yuuri’s writing. He has almost perfect English and would write the address in English. It has to be from someone we know in Japan; who else calls you Yurio?” Viktor hummed as he slid the box closer, “Might as well open it.”

Yuri huffed, “Yeah. It’s not like we’d be getting something dangerous in the mail or something. Yuuko hasn’t mentioned sending us anything though.”

Viktor got up from the couch and grabbed scissors, “Maybe Minako sensei or Yuuri’s parents sent us something.”

“Wouldn’t Yuuri know though and tell us to be expecting stuff?” Yuuri had been away at home in Japan for a week now after getting a call from the JSF wanting interviews. Originally, Viktor had planned to return as well to help Yuuri smooth a few things over, but Yuuri had insisted that he stay here and prepare for Worlds. 

“Maybe its a surprise. Either way, we’re opening it.” Viktor grabbed the box in his arms and cut the tape open on the cardboard box.

Inside sat two lumps wrapped in tissue paper and a note written in the same Englsih handwriting as their names. 

To Vicchan and Yurio,

Merry Christmas. Everything is going well here and we can’t wait for you to come visit the onsen when you two have some free time. I hope you like your surprise, my sons. I know it gets cold in Russia so I thought you could use something to keep you warm. 

Love,

Mama Katsuki

“Well?! What does it say, old man?!” Viktor smiled and handed the note to Yuri who was glaring at him. Yuri took the note and read it over, his face softening as he saw who had written. He may have had a rocky start with Katsudon, and his time in Japan may have been rough, but when he had been holed up in the Yutopia Onsen, he had experienced the beautiful Katsuki family. 

Hiroko, Yuuri’s mom, had welcomed him with open arms, often making sure he was always taken care of and gently caressing his hair when he was frustrated. Sometimes he would find himself helping her around the onsen simply so he could spend time with the older woman. 

Toshiya, Yuuri’s father, had been quiet and had barely spoken to Yuri the whole stay, but Yuri couldn’t help but return his soft smiles and help the older man carry in the groceries from the market. Toshiya had been an excellent cook and had always could tell what Yuri was thinking without even saying anything. He was a warm hand on the shoulder; a silent promise that he would be alright. 

Mari had the best English after her brother and had often would entertain him with Japanese folklore when he had time to sit there and listen to her talk when she was on her smoke breaks. She had been more like Toshiya, always the small reassuring glances and the to-the-point attitude. 

He could feel a small well in his chest that rose as he thought about the family that had taken him in when he had shown up to Japan. He missed them. 

“This one is for you,” Viktor hummed as he pushed the small green package toward Yuri who was still holding the note in loving hands. 

He set the note down carefully and pulled the package closer, “This was very nice of her.”

Viktor nodded and smiled as he pulled the wrappings off the gift inside of it, “Look! She made us sweaters.”

Yuri pulled the wrappings off his own sweater and smiled, “She did.” He held it up to look at it and grinned when he saw the intricate tiger pattern knitted together. It must’ve taken her hours, days even, to make this for him. It was as soft as fur and as Yuri slid the copper and black material over his head, he caught a brief whiff of his Japanese home; spices and the earthy smell of green tea. 

“She did a fabulous job!” Viktor crooned as Yuri looked up from his own sweater. The older Russian was decked out in a deep maroon sweater with a cream colored snowflake across the chest and some Japanese writing coming beneath it.

“Yeah,” Yuri hummed as he hugged onto his own soft sweater around him, “She did.”

[ferluccia]

Silly AU!Idea: Yurio babysitting Makkachin for a few hours and when Viktor and Yuuri come back from wherever, they see Yurio sprawled on the floor with Makkachin next to him and they're talking about the meaning of the universe

(please don’t be too harsh this is a very hurried ficlet fjkdsldfs)

“… so I guess we could make it in time,” Yuuri was saying as Victor struggled to unlock the door as he wrestled a bunch of groceries bags out of the way. “Unless we end up spending more time getting ready than we anticipate.”

“That always happens, babe,” Victor chuckled, pushing the door and stepping into the apartment with Yuuri at his heels. “We can always shower together to save time, but that only works in theory.”

Yuuri just laughed, his cheeks flaring up in a beautiful shade of pink as they kicked their shoes off on the doorway. Victor was right after all, so there was no reason to dismiss that innuendo. He’d grown comfortable with it, in fact, embracing his eros out of the ice as well as on it. 

Victor offered him a cheeky wink as he walked into the kitchen, placing the groceries on the counter and unpacking them, neatly organizing the items in rows like it was his habit, humming some pop tune as he worked. Yuuri joined him, unpacking and humming the same song, stealing a quick kiss in between his trips to place their food in the appropriate places.

But something was odd.

“Um… Where is Makkachin?” Yuuri asked, tucking his chin on Victor’s shoulder and lacing his arm around his waist as Victor unpacked the last bag. 

“Mm?”

Yuuri laughed softly, kissing Victor’s neck. “Our son? Makkachin? The brown poodle?”

“Oh, yeah, sorry,” Victor hummed, leaning into his touch, melting into Yuuri’s embrace. “He didn’t show up, did he?”

“This is the first time we unpack our groceries in peace without him asking for a treat,” Yuuri said, lips brushing on Victor’s neck. “You think Yuri took him for a walk?”

“Maybe? I mean, maybe not, his sneakers were by the door so that means he’s still inside.”

Victor paused for a moment, eyes lost somewhere in the kitchen as he tried to listen for their noises.

“It’s too quiet. You know that kids are up to no good when they’re this quiet,” Victor shook his head half-heartedly before placing a soft kiss on Yuuri’s lips. “We should look for them.”

The apartment wasn’t exactly small, but not so big that one could lose themselves in it, so it didn’t take a long time for Yuuri to spot a muffled conversation coming from the guest room which had its door closed. They must be in there, he thought, gesturing at Victor to come check. 

They didn’t mean to eavesdrop, of course. But it kind of happened. As Victor was about to knock on the door to let Yuri know they were back, he caught on something interesting.

“Like…” Yuri’s voice was muffled, but easy enough to understand from the other side of the door, a soft Russian that was clear enough for even Yuuri to understand, “it’s crazy, you know? Uh, I mean, of course you don’t. You’re a dog. You just exist and that’s it. You don’t suffer any existential angst like I do. Consciousness is all fun and games until you start thinking… What’s the point of all this? But no, you just… chill. Forever. I’m kinda jealous of you, you know? I feel so small. Like… I try my damn hardest all the time and what’s the point? It’s all fake. And that’s fucked up. Nothing makes sense, but you’re a dog and you’re just OK with that, you don’t need to worry about these things. What is your secret? Like, what do you know? What goes on inside this poodle head?” 

“Vitya?” Yuuri whispered, eyes wide and bros knit together in confusion. “What’s going on?”

“He’s having a deep talk with Makkachin about the universe and the meaning of life, I guess?” Victor pressed his lips tight, suppressing a smile.

“Oh, dear.”

“Should we interrupt?” Victor asked.

Yuuri shrugged lightly. “I mean… I feel bad for eavesdropping,” he said, looking at their feet. “And I think it’s best we knock on the door and let him know we’re home instead of letting him open the door and find out we’re just standing here?”

Victor gave a sharp nod in agreement and knocked on the door. “Yura! We’re home!”

There was silence in the room, and they shared a brief moment where Yuuri and Victor just stared at each other expectantly as they waited for a response from the teenager on the other side. 

“Nice,” he replied in English. “You can, uh, open the door, if you want.”

Victor pushed it open to find Yuri on his stomach, laying on the floor in front of Makkachin, just glaring at them like he wasn’t just discussing philosophy with their dog. Makkachin, on the other hand, perked his ears up and wagged his tail at them, but made no move to come welcome them like he usually did. 

“What did you guys bring for dinner? I’m starved.”

“Oh, you know,” Victor shrugged, looking at Yuuri. “Frozen pizza. We can throw in some other ingredients and make it better like you showed us.” 

Yuri’s eyes lit up and a smirk curved his lips. “OK, cool.”

“And… Did Makkachin give you any trouble?” Victor squatted next to them to pet the dog, that offered him a sympathetic lick. 

“He was OK,” Yuri shrugged, watching Makkachin stand up and bond towards Yuuri excitedly. “Now, for real, can we get started on the pizza?”

“Ah, yes,” Yuuri said as he scratched behind Makkachin’s ear. “Care to help me with it? We just need to wash our hands first.”

Yuri just gave him a thumbs up as he sat up, watching the two disappear in the corridor as Victor unwrapped his scarf by the door, giving him a knowing look. 

“What?”

“Oh, nothing,” Victor smiled, folding the scarf on his arm. “I got a bit nostalgic, that’s all.” 

Yuri squinted, intrigued. “How so?”

Victor shrugged lightly, not looking him in the eyes. “I know Makkachin is a good listener.”

Raising his eyebrows, Yuri nodded in silence, his eyes scanning the room as Victor watched him. 

“OK, what are you doing here still?” Yuri frowned, pushing Victor out of the room. “Your fiancé needs our help. Stop moping.” 

“Oh, so you’re helping us? Yuri!” Victor smiled at him, letting his weight fall against Yuri’s angry push.

“Stop, Victor! Katsudon told us to wash our hands, not fool around!”

Nyerus’ Victuuri Fic Rec List

These are in no particular order, really, just a list of my fave Victuuri fics—some of which I think a little less well known (but idk). I’ve been sitting on this for SO LONG that some of the “lesser known” ones are huge now hahaha! I’ll probably make a page for this or something later.

I pulled the “genres” mostly from the tags, but basically winged it based on what felt right. Most fics rated as “Explicit” in this list have smut in them so keep that in mind, but I’ve made special annotations as need be. I’ve also mentioned if there are any significant side pairings.

I’ve added mini-reviews (kinda) as well, which are just my personal thoughts on a fic without getting too spoilery, but you can feel free to skip them.

Current count:

Canon:7

AU: 21

(Quite long, so under a cut).

Canonverse

1.) Heartbreaker by drowsycyborg (Status: Complete – 3.1k words) – Teen

Genres: Pre-series, Outsider PoV, Detroit Days, Humor

Katsuki Yuuri is five foot eight, shy, and one of the most gorgeous and heartbreaking humans ever seen in Detroit.

In which Yuuri is Too Beautiful and Good and no one around him knows how to be chill about it. And thus, he unwittingly breaks a lot of hearts in Detroit. Set pre-series, it’s hilarious to see people lament over the sweet, lovely Katsuki Yuuri (long before we see poor Victor fall victim in-canon). Possibly part of a future series?

2.) katsuki_fc wrote by tetsurashian (Status: Complete – 12.7k words) – Gen

Genres:  Social Media, Outsider PoV

Just because Yuuri isn’t big on social media, doesn’t mean his fans aren’t.(aka a social media fic)

Basically the series seen through a social media lens. In other words, the social media reactions one would expect to see in-canon if we got a glimpse of it! It feels very realistic and even incorporates actual fandom discourse (e.g. early fan theories and shipping). A huge round of applause for the author for getting AO3’s formatting to still somehow feel like LJ threads, Tumblr posts, and so on! I’ve read this like a dozen times already and always laugh when I do because it feels sooooo meta.

3.) Distance by surverycorpsjean (Status: Complete – 5.1k words) – Explicit

Genres: Post-series, Domestic, Fluff, Smut

They just can’t stand to be apart.

Victor and Yuuri never outgrow their honeymoon phase and it’s amazing and perfect. Adorable domestic fluff with some great smut (kitchen sex!) in the middle. (It’s set post-canon.) Without a doubt I can say: A+++

4.) The Fundamentals of Caring by braveten (Status: Complete – 20.8k words ) – Explicit

Genres: Hurt/Comfort, Fluff

“Let me guess, you’re going to go take care of Yuuri while he sleeps? Just in case he sneezes or something?” Yurio rolls his eyes, folding his arms across his chest. “Viktor, you’re whipped.”

Viktor rubs the back of his neck as he leans against the wall. “What does that mean?”

“It means that if Yuuri asked you to do a little dance for him in nothing but a coconut bra and a hula skirt, you’d do it.”

Viktor pauses, confused. “And that’s a bad thing?”

Yuuri gets sick while in Russia (not post-series) and Victor tries to take care of him while simultaneously trying to be Chill about it—but a deliriously affectionate Yuuri makes that very difficult. Yurio is eventually recruited to help and he makes Victor’s job harder and easier at the same time, somehow. Very cute!

5.) Lace and Satin by whatsup_buttercup (Status: Complete – 6.2k words) – Explicit

Genres: Established Relationship, Post-series, Lingerie, Light BDSM

“I won gold.” Viktor says, smile in his voice. “Whatever does that mean, Yuuri?”

Yuuri looks down. “Are you sure you don’t want something better?”

“There’s nothing better.” Viktor insists. “Nothing.”

Hoooooo boy! This fic hits basically EVERY single one of my kink so well and honestly I’m grateful it exists. Criminally underrated because it’s so well written and even the dirty talk is A+. It’s technically part of a series but can also work as a standalone (but do yourself a favor and read the other fic in this series too!!!).

6.) Need by sub_textual (Status: Complete – 8.2k) – Explicit

Genres: Post-series, Smut, Semi-public sex

What stands before Viktor now isn’t at all the Yuuri that had stripped off his clothes in front of a hundred people. This is Yuuri, beautiful and blushing, shy in all the ways Viktor knows he isn’t, too embarrassed to express what he really wants. This is Yuuri, abandoning the clasp of Viktor’s pants, to slowly undo Viktor’s tie. This is Yuuri, desperate and needy, ripe and ready for the taking, and he’s all Viktor’s.

Takes place directly after the series, during the banquet. Victor and Yuuri sneak off to the bathroom and get frisky. This fic is hot, ok. There’s a slight dab of exhibitionism and some dom/sub which makes things more exciting!

7.) Jason's Master Plan (to dating the Cute Asian Guy) by Qwertzu (Status: Complete –  9.8k words) –  Teen

Genres: Post-series, Outsider PoV, Humor, Identity Reveal

Jason Hesling, young ice hockey prodigy, rising star of Detroit Ice Tigers and part-time model, had a smile that made women and men alike weak at their knees. It’s been a while since anyone managed to catch his attention – until he met the Cute Asian Guy at Detroit Ice Castle and decided to become his next boyfriend.

Meanwhile, the actual Ice Tiger™ is having the time of his life watching the pretentious JJ-wannabe trying to charm the pants off the completely oblivious, happily married Katsudon.

Hockey jock Jason tries his hardest to woo the “cute Asian guy at Detroit Ice Castle” but isn’t it too bad that said cutie is already happily married to someone else? If only if poor Jason knew.... This fic is honestly a riot and I had such a fun time reading it (and its follow-up fic). It seems to be part of a longer series and I eagerly await more installments! I guess I have a thing for Victuuri breaking everyone’s hearts by being so smitten with each other!

Alternate Universe

1.) Healthy Impropriety by mtothedestiel (Status: Complete – 29.5k words) – Explicit

Genres: Regency AU, Historical, Courtship

Victor is the wealthy master of the Nikiforov estate. At a society party he’s swept off his feet by the mysterious, suave, and very drunk Katsuki Yuuri. Victor aims to declare his love and secure Mr. Katsuki’s hand in marriage, but first he has to find him!

A legit Regency AU in which The Banquet happens Victorian-style and Victor, as always, falls head over heels for drunk Yuuri—who he then sets out to properly court. Victor is a rich, hopeless romantic and Yuuri is a sensible, normal guy trying to live his life. There’s lots of really cute, fluffy scenes between these two with a little bit of angst thrown in there to keep things interesting. It reads like a Jane Austen novel and has a lovely happy ending topped off with some smut!

2.) don’t want to be lonely just want to be yours by Linisy (Status: Incomplete) – Explicit

Genres: Idol AU, Slow Burn, Mutual Pining, Social Media, Alternating PoV

This time the flesh and blood Yuuri wasn't around to distract him, and he watched the video intently, hypnotized by the swing of Yuuri’s hips, the look in his eyes that burned with intensity and the strong, confident line of his shoulders. Yuuri was, as always, breathtaking.

Victor remembered their first meeting well. Yuuri was the last member to join the group. He was soft spoken, and he stood as if he were trying to make himself smaller, shoulders drawn inward, head tilted toward the ground, glasses slipping off his nose. Victor was surprised to hear that he was the second oldest behind Victor himself.

Everything changed the first time he saw him dance. - Vitya, Katsu, Yura, Beka and Chu make up the top idol group SVD. They've been through hell together, living in their tiny dorm and working toward the day they'd finally hit it big. That day has finally come, but sometime over the course of the past three years, Victor has fallen in love with Yuuri Katsuki.

An idol fic that’s full of social media shenanigans, glamour, and emotions. Based on KPop idol groups (like BTS), this fic is a such treat and I can’t even properly articulate why!!! Along with the humor, it’s also incredibly realistic regarding the hardships faced by idol groups due to the heavy restrictions placed on their personal lives by the company that “owns” them. It’s got the right mix of fun and angst and honestly I think about this fic every day. I can’t wait for more!!!!

3.) My Name on Your Lips by feelslikefire (Status: Complete – 108k words) – Explicit

Genres: Historical Fantasy, Magic, Arranged Marriage, Royalty, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics

Yuuri Katsuki has been betrothed to the High King’s son, Victor, since he was just a child; furthermore, as an omega, he’s forbidden from practicing magic in combat. For years, he’s been able to put off the former because the Prince was traveling abroad, and gotten around the latter by practicing with his mentor in secret.

Now Victor Nikiforov has finally returned home, and Yuuri is being summoned to the capital for their wedding. He needs a plan to put off marriage long enough to find a way to break the betrothal, while keeping his practicing from being discovered.

If only the Prince didn’t have other ideas.

(Or, the swords-and-sorcery arranged marriage AU. Updates weekly.)

This is one of my personal favorites, featuring all my fave things: fantasy, magic, battles, intrigue, and a slow-burn! It does have A/B/O elements but even if that’s not your cup of tea you’ll enjoy this fic for all the other wonderful things it has to offer. The world building is great and the plot keeps you interested at all times. Never a dull moment and has a great mix of tension, fluff, angst, etc. Watch these two dorks fall deeply in love while also getting a fully fleshed-out story. It’s beautifully written.

4.)  Yuuri Enchanted by the__magpie (Status: Complete – 57k words)  – Teen

Genres: Fantasy, Fairytale, Slow Burn

At birth, Yuuri Katsuki was given the gift of obedience, although he quickly learns as he grows up that it is a curse. He has to obey any command given to him, even if it puts him or others in danger. Too afraid to face the terrifying outside world, Yuuri stays in his home town of Hasetsu, until a chance encounter with Prince Victor urges him to venture outside of his safe bubble. Determined to break his curse, Yuuri begins on an adventure involving fairies, ogres, true love, and courage he never knew he had.

An Ella Enchanted AU (based more on the book)! A great fairytale read even if you’ve never read the book (or seen the movie). I love it to bits and that’s all I can say!

5.) Retrouvailles by persephoneggsy (Status: Complete – 32k words) – Teen*

Genres: Historical, Childhood Friends, Friends-to-Lovers, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics

retrouvailles: the feeling one gets after reuniting after a long time

After he presents as an Omega, Yuuri Katsuki is sent to study abroad for ten long years. When he returns, he’s far, far different from the adorable little boy that used to follow Victor around like a puppy.

Victor is shook.

A very sweet AU that has that regency-vibe. Features confident ballet dancer Yuuri and hopeless mess Victor. The Russian skating team is all one big family here and it’s great, while all the other skaters are dancers too. It has a shifting perspective between Victor and Yuuri, so we get to see what’s going on in both their heads. The A/B/O is pretty light apart from some plot details, so if that’s not your thing this fic is still very enjoyable. [*There is smut in the final chapter, which can be standalone/ignored, hence why the rating remains T overall.]

6.) A Place Like Home by whatsup_buttercup (Status: Complete -- 7k words) -- Explicit

Genres: Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Post-series, Emotional Hurt/Comfort

“Do you still skate, Yuuri?” It’s bold of Hiroshi to use his first name, but the familiarity makes sense, considering what they’re discussing.

“No,” Yuuri says, empty. “Not anymore.”

Hiroshi reaches out and puts his hand over Yuuri’s. It’s a little hot from the tea. “If you choose me, we have a rink nearby. I’ll make sure you can skate every day.”

This is a heartbreaking A/B/O in which Yuuri ended things with Victor in Barcelona and is now under pressure to find a suitable mate. Luckily, Victor hasn’t give up on them, no matter what Yuuri may think. It’s a lovely and achingly sweet story, and I was so happy by the end!!!

7.) blood is thicker than by icanhinatashouyoutheworld (Status: Incomplete) – Teen

Genres: Enemies-to-Friends-to-Lovers, Custody Battle, Angst, Fluff, Eventual Romance

“You might be Yuri’s biological parent, Mr. Nikiforov. But I’m his father. If Yuri wants to go with you, that’s one thing,” Yuuri Katsuki’s voice flows quiet and dangerous into the room “but if he doesn’t, don’t think that you’re taking my child away from home,”

Or: Victor Nikiforov finds out he has a son. He wants full custody.

Katsuki Yuuri isn’t going to give up his child that easily.

Or: Victor and Yuuri fight a custody battle for Yurio. Shit happens.

Or: Yuri Plisetsky starts with one parent, and ends up with two.

A unique fic in which Victor is Yurio’s biological father, while Yuuri is his adoptive one. Yuuri is struggling to make ends meet and support his child while Victor is a rich supermodel. The relationship between Yuuri and Yurio is so achingly sweet and it’s very easy to root for Yuuri in this fic. It’ll be great to see how Yuuri and Victor eventually become friends and then lovers—so that they all become one big happy family!

8.) Kings in Couture by slightlied (Status: Incomplete) – Teen

Genres:Slow Burn, Alternate Occupations, Fashion

a devil wears prada au in which victor is the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, yuuri’s his new secretary, and instead of talking about his feelings, victor just sends him on a bunch of errands 

A Devil Wears Prada­-esque AU which I stumbled upon and am SO grateful for. It’s funny, cute, and features the whole cast in various roles. Yuuri is adorable and Victor is glamorous as ever. It’s such a fun read!!!

9.) Assassin’s Tango by MEIXIU (Status: Incomplete) – Explicit

Genres: Assassins AU, Secret Identity

They are the world’s most greatest assassins. Their identities are a secret, even from each other. One day, however, they discover that they have been assigned to kill one another and their reality comes crashing down on them both.

This is basically a Mr. and Mrs. Smith AU and I’m super excited about it! Features Victor as a suave hitman who’s still a hopeless romantic, and Yuuri as a clever honeypot—who’s juggling his job, school, and his new whirlwind romance. Lots of hot scenes mingled with fluff. Impending angst on the horizon, but the promise of a happy ending keeps me from crying too hard!

10.) The Rules for Lovers by ADreamingSongbird (Status: Incomplete) – Teen

Genres: Urban Fantasy, Urban Magic, Arranged Marriage, Mutual Pining, Royalty, Multiple PoV

Prince Yuuri Katsuki has a duty to his country, above all else (his desires, his dreams, and his happiness included), and he knows this alliance will help to ensure the safety of his people. That’s the only reason he accepts Prince Nikiforov’s hand in marriage. The pleasant surprise, of course, is the part where they fall in love along the way. The unpleasant one, well…

That’s a long story.

It’s always a treat to watch these two dorks fall hopelessly in love with each other. They might be engaged, but the mutual pinging intense and heart-wrenching. The political intrigue is just as compelling as Yuuri and Victor’s evolving relationship. The story shifts between many character’s perspectives, keeping things interesting. (And there’s some side Mila/Sara too!)

11.) I Write Sins, Not Tragedies by cuttlemefish (Status: Incomplete) -- Explicit

Genres: Arranged Marriage, Social Media, Mutual Pining, Romantic Comedy, Fluff

Things would be a little easier if Yuuri wasn’t so in love with his husband Viktor, especially considering they have an arranged marriage. Two years after their wedding, Yuuri and Viktor are incredibly in love, but can’t seem to get over the hump of their platonic union to consummate their marriage! Good thing Yuuri is the most (in)famous erotic fanfiction author of the Love in the Streets fandom. Now, he’s got the support of the Internet to figure out how to seduce his husband, if only he can continue to keep their identities a secret. Or, the AU in which everyone thinks Yuuri and Viktor have the perfect marriage full of adventurous sex when, in fact, Viktor sleeps in the guest bedroom and Yuuri writes erotic fanfiction to quench his thirst.

This is a HILARIOUS fic and that’s all I can really even say without doing this work a grave injustice. It’s very well-written and there’s no angst like I thought there would be. Just extreme thirst!!! Can’t wait to see these two get their shit together eventually and work off all that pent-up sexual frustration.

12.) Like a Fairytale by lucyamui (Status: Complete – 73.4k words) – Teen

Genres: Historical, Fairytale, Royalty, Fluff

In which Prince Victor gets swept off his feet at a royal banquet and will go to any length to find his ‘Cinderella’ Yuuri. (And Phichit is the fairy godmother who has no idea what he’s doing)

A Cinderella story in which the Grand Prix Banquet happens, in its own fairytale way. This story features enthusiastic Prince Victor and timid baker/pâtissier Yuuri. Along with Phichit as the Fairy God Mother! It’s fluffy, cute, and has plenty of mutual pining.

13.) lie to make me like you by cityboys (Status: Complete – 80k words) – Mature

Genres:Slow Burn, Alternate Occupations

It’s become a game, of sorts, to anyone privy to the fact that the pattern exists in the first place: ask Victor out at the beginning of the month, date for however many days, and wait for the end to come and for Victor to say, always: I couldn’t fall in love with you. Let’s break up.

Or, Victor is a retired actor looking for love, and Yuuri happens to be the (un)fortunate soul to unwittingly ask him out at the beginning of the month. Except relationships don’t come with a script, and it’s much harder understanding love than roles.

This is a wonderful and sweet slow burn featuring a lost Victor who’s trying to find something he doesn’t know he’s searching for, and a Yuuri who refuses to follow the “script” Victor seems to unwittingly run his life by. Yuuri takes no shit from anyone and constantly keeps Victor on his toes with how surprising he can be. I love both of these two here and watching them fit into each other’s lives is a real treat!

14.) All Eyes on Me by Kizuna_Auri (Status: Incomplete) – Explicit

Genres: Sex Worker AU (Camming), Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Fluff, Smut

Yuuri, under the username of Eros, is a size queen omega who most certainly does not have an obsession with fellow camboy and legendary silver-haired alpha Aria. Just like Phichit is not the most meddlesome roommate known to man.

In which Yuuri and Victor are both camboys who happen to be fans of each other, and get set up to share their heat/rut for their audiences by their bffs and moderators, Phichit and Chris respectively. It’s surprisingly fluffy with alpha!Victor being a total sweetheart and omega!Yuuri being a shy bean who’s trying his best to keep up his Eros persona.This fic also highlights Yuuri’s insecurities and anxiety in a very realistic way and the difficulties than can come with being a camboy. The smut is intense and there’s plenty more plot on the horizon!

15.) The Promise of the World by pilindiel (Status: Incomplete) – Teen

Genres: Fantasy

When a self-conscious young man is cursed with an old body by a spiteful wizard, his only chance of breaking the spell lies with a self-indulgent yet insecure young wizard and his companions in his legged, walking castle.

The Howl's Moving Castle AU we all secretly wanted.

This is a straight up Howl’s Moving Castle AU!!!. Yuuri fits very naturally into the role of Sophie and Victor is a perfect Howl, but I assume we all knew that was the case already! It’s a very good read and has its own deviations from the source material to keep it feeling fresh.

16.)  (Don’t) Ring the Wedding Bells by cuttlemefish (Status: Complete – 45k) – Explicit

Genres: Alternate Occupations, Social Media, Modern-day Cinderella

As (loosely) inspired by real life, this is the wedding reception AU (you didn’t ask for, but will get) in which Yuuri Katsuki catches the bride’s bouquet and (shortly after) gets smashed at a wedding reception, then dirty dances with his best friend, (sort of) seduces a (hot) platinum-haired trust-fund baby named Viktor, and ends up being hounded for his identity (by said trust-fund baby and his friends and family) on social media.

In which rich!Victor ends up getting woo’d by regular-guy!Yuuri at JJ and Isabella’s wedding reception and pulls out all the stops to find Yuuri again after he disappears. And does so in classic Victor style: as dramatically as possible. Meanwhile Yuuri’s just trying to live his life and forget the whole thing happened because of how embarrassing it was, but when you’ve basically become a meme, things get a little complicated. Still, Victor tries very hard to win Yuuri’s heart and Yuuri eventually finds that he’s very much in love. Naturally, there are some bumps along the way, but these two are made to last. It’s an overall fun AU that has its touching (and sexy) moments too! (May also be a part of a future series?)

17.) Imprisioned by Linisy (Status: Incomplete) – Mature

Genres: Supernatural (Ghosts), Slow Burn

For the past two years, Yuuri has been endlessly tormented by malevolent spirits. Just as he finds himself at the end of his rope, he meets Victor, an enigmatic man who possesses the ability to relieve him.

An AU in which both Yuuri and Victor have powers they don’t quite want, but find that the other might be what they need. Yuuri is a nervous ball of anxiety in this fic because of his ability to see ghosts, and Victor’s own ability leaves him generally isolated from people out of fear of getting too close to them. The whole concept is very unique and I absolutely adore cold(but kind)!Victor gradually warming up to Yuuri. Their interactions are great to read and get me every time!!!

18.) Bottle Me Your Smile by Ncj700 (Status: Incomplete) – Teen

Genres: Magic AU, Apothecary AU

In a tiny village on the edge of the kingdom, Yuuri Katsuki – common as mud Apothecary owner – embarks on a goal to achieve a childhood goal. With the help of the world’s greatest magical, he will achieve it.

A super cute fantasy AU that features Yuuri who’s a talented witch when it comes to potionmaking among other things, but is captivated by the powerful sorcerer Victor. Inspired, Yuuri tries to pursue a path of battlemagic, only to spectacularly fail and return to his home to live a quiet, humble life in his little apothecary. However, as fate would have it, Victor and Yuuri’s paths cross unexpectedly, and I can’t wait to see what adventures will unfold! Lovely world building and characterization.

19.)  His Was Gold by AL_KILLER (Status: Incomplete) – Mature

Genres: Historical AU, Harem AU, Slow Burn, Angst

There were dozens of men and women in Tsar Victor Nikiforov’s harem, all of them attractive, ravishing, and beautiful. They wore provocative clothing, sweet smelling perfumes, and sparkling jewelry designed to catch the eye. All in hopes of being chosen by the Tsar for just one night.

Yuuri was the only one in the harem who didn’t want to be chosen. Yet, Yuuri was the only one the Tsar wanted.

I don’t usually read dark fics because I’m fairly sensitive and fragile, BUT! This one is amazingly well-written and evokes such powerful imagery that grips you and doesn’t let go. There’s an air of mystery here that is partly due to Yuuri’s limited perspective and also due to his unreliable-as-always narration, which the author uses masterfully. Even if you’re not a fan of dark fics, I suggest giving this one a go—it’s worth it. (Warnings for graphic descriptions of violence.)

20.) Story About You by heartsinhay (Status: Incomplete) – Teen

Genres: FanFic, Slow Burn, Humor

After his disastrous Japanese Nationals, Yuuri turns to the only thing that can comfort him: his old fanfic. Halfway across the world, Victor does the same thing.

Just picked up this fic the other day! Yes the “self-insert fic” is super cringey, but of course that’s the point! It’s hilarious to see poor Yuuri despair at his old writing (because, well, relatable) and to be caught off guard by a sudden fan of his works. I wonder who else would be suddenly and intensely interested in the little Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov ship in the figure skating “fandom,” haha! ;)

21.)  23. M. Looking for a challenge. by alykapedia (Status: Incomplete) – Teen*

Genre: Academic AU, Tinder AU, Humor,

“A cute boy with an ass like that says he’s up for a challenge and you send him a math problem?" (Giacometti, 2017).

A (not-so) comprehensive study on the (terrible) mating habits of (beautiful) grad student, Yuuri Katsuki, and (future) Nobel Laureate Viktor Nikiforov D. Sc.

(Or: That one where two physicists fall in love and set off a nuclear reaction. Except not really.)

Another new one that was recommended to me by friends and honestly, I LOVE IT. It’s the academic au you’ve always wanted and never knew you needed! Both Yuuri and Victor are adorable (yet crazy smart) in this and its just so clever in its writing. (*The rating might go up.)

Shameless self promotion:

1.) Celestial Gravitation (Status: Incomplete) – Explicit

Genres: Space AU, Fantasy AU, Action-Adventure, Political, Slow Burn

The Rossiyan Empire controls most of the galaxy. Most, but not all--not yet. The solution to the Emperor's ambitions lies in a rumored ancient weapon hidden on a lost world. The small, peaceful planet of Yamato holds the key to unlocking and utilizing said weapon. To secure their interests, the Emperor and his talented son--Prince Victor--venture to the planet to obtain the key: Prince Yuuri of Yamato. Knowing that any resistance could mean endangering his homeworld, Prince Yuuri and his family agree to the Emperor's terms. But he has foreseen this day coming and he will not go along with their plans as quietly as the Empire may expect him to.

What he hasn't foreseen, however, is the unlikely bond he develops with Prince Victor--a man he should be destined to hate, but finds he cannot.

If only galactic politics and ancient secrets didn't get in the way of love.

(A slow-burn, space-adventure AU in which there is advanced technology as well as magic.)

2.) Tessellation (Status: Incomplete) – Teen

Genres: Retelling, Victor PoV

It started at the banquet--the day Victor's life dramatically changed course. And from there, it was all uphill.

A Victor-POV project that follows the show episodically, for the most part. In other words: the show from Victor's point of view.

Post-apocalypse military AU.

The beginning of the end XD. Of course nobody died for real. As a true fairytale it’ll end up fine. Actually it’s still raw... FML. I never stayed up at night even for exames or anything... Snow King can be proud. For his bday I do. X3

Sound of shooting stops accidentally. But now tinkling silence isn't an evidence of the end of the battle or at least of a break. It means only that one more line is over. Nothing to hope on. They are locked here. Not so many. Less the 200 people. Last examples of experienced fighters. Of the 1st breed. Ones who still remember and realize the world before the catastrophe. Enemies could never do it by themselves. But... No connection to other Bases or Safe Zones. Blocked channels. Blocked information supports for using air armor. Emergency ways to escape locked from outside... It's too obvious. Safe Zone thrown them away. To die and let the piece agreement happen. Снежный Король sits on the windowsill. Video security system allows to watch what's going on on other floors. He clicks the lighter and inhales the smoke. The stream of death... General widens the picture. Koshey team. All dead. Through blurred monitor it's still rather obvious. They all did as decided on a short urgent meeting in the beginning of this fight. Killed as many attackers as they could until ran out of cartridges. And left 4 bullets. One for every teammate. Nobody here is going to get captured anyway. Red cloud on the floor. She tried to grow up her hair because her lover always had long and was curious. Now it's almost beautiful. They lay on the floor hugging each other. Bloody carpet is a continuation of Mila's locks. The 4 of them are tangled in her red cloak. The Black Shark could be enough to win even in this unpleasant situation. But it was found broken badly. Traitors weren't able to make it work. This weird thing was unspeakably moody. And could literally kill anyone but Sara who ever tried to drive it. So they simply torn away and took with them some parts. All vans and other heavy technique were out of patrol.

[Good work, fucking piecemakers. Now wait until they invade and ruin that fragile illusion that U call stable daily life.]

Yuuri rushes in. Stupidly giggling and shrugging the blood away from his sword. The ceremonial weapon that isn't supposed to be used in battles... Shere Khan smirks licking the blade of the knife. What are they so agitated about?.. It wasn't even necessary to get into this (meaningless according to the situation) close combat. Werewolf (actually werebear if to be exact) reads his usual cards on the table. No, not tactical. Tarot cards. He frowns and raises eyes on commander. In normally calm beastly depth burns silent panic. It's not a fear of things that happen here. It's about something he reads on the desk. - Sir... They can't say anything. Or better to admit - they can but... I'm unable to read it. I see... But don't understand. - And I don't understand this... - the voice of Snow King is quiet. He wipes the wall with a white bandage. The air around is gloomy because of terminal fire and explosions. The bandage stays clean. General's statement could seem inopportune. But his subordinate knows too well they both are talking about the same phenomenon. - Ask them... - General closes eyes for a moment in strange hopeless hope. - Is it possible we all are dead or something... And the world around us is an illusion. Lieutenant Altyin looks at cards and bitterly waves his head. - Then only one explanation... The physical characteristics of our world had changed. I mean globally. In planetary measures. Or even more... Well... I guess it's better to die without seeing what other gameplays the ecosystem prepared for us... - Victor shrugs shoulders, smiling with a kind of lost expression. He has not enough reasons for this theory. But he feels it, knows by blood and cells. Like he knew where to step and when to shoot in a battle. The knowledge that became sharper day by day. Yuuri leans to his Snow King from behind. His blood-stained hands sneak under the t-shirt. He doesn't ask questions but the black, half-blind abyss of his eyes radiates excitement. As if he is in hurry to share as much happiness with his Yuki no Kami as it's possible for the rest short time. - Sir... - Werewolf's intonations are almost begging. - Sir, promise me... Promise us. U will be...careful... - Eh?! Something funny about our old man there? - Major Plisetsky sits near, wrapping an arm on Beka's shoulders. He snorts but they all know he is worried. Capitan looks in green eyes, intertwining their fingers. Then turns to commander: - Cards say U are surrounded by the love. U're loved, admired... U're the chosen one always. And in our situation this is the last thing that is logical to appear in a prediction. But damn it... I don't even see the death in your future... I see the throne of the world. And I understand nothing... Yuuri sneaks under commander's arm, clinging to him with a puppy-like sound. He doesn't say anything but Snow King knows his sudden fear too well. He caresses boy's lips with a thumb: - We will die together. Today. Here. He explains it reassuringly and a bit tiredly. As an adult talking a child not to be scared of the thunderstorm. Yuuri nods and nuzzles Snow King's shoulder giggling.

The explosion chain is very close.

Снежный leaves the monitor. It's not important anymore. The four of them are the last experienced martials able to go on line. But whatever will happen to the Safe Zone isn't their problem now. He smiles at his teammates. Shortly and bitterly: - Time to go... General takes out the glock. The only one that keeps 4 sacred bullets. No right for a mistake. He nods to Angry Kitty. It's like a selfi. One click and a moment will be kept for the eternity. No time to say a lot to each other. And no need to. Deep inside they all know. Shere Khan grins and winks to Snow King while Beka is suddenly distracted with something on his cards left on the table. (Is it even important what's said there?) Grabs his collar and pulls his friend and partner for a kiss. First real one for them both. Оборотень falls into thin but unexpectedly strong arms staring in green ponds and trying to say something through the tight lean of warm lips.

Bang.

Bang.

Snow King drops the hand with the gun. - Always in vanguard... Шустрый засранец. / Fast little shit. - He mutters it with a short snort. These two had no time to fall on the floor. Yuuri catches them both and puts on the sofa. (He is fast. He became faster during years here.) They lay the way they often did. The way nobody would believe if to say or show a domestic picture. Beka laying on Yurio's shoulder. Kitty always was more a protective and Beka - a supportive one in their tandem. Snow King often laughed at Yurio that they're kicked out from an another fairytale - Beauty and the Beast. And the Beast here is of course Shere Khan. Kitty fizzed and hissed but obviously liked the idea until Оборотень began to mutter that he isn't a decent Beauty even if he is ready to wear a golden dress for his precious Beast. "But it will cause blood from your eyes, believe me..." And Yurio bit and kicked him and yelled: "U are beautiful, fuck my life! I fucking know better." Beka himself mostly laughed that they are more like a forest Witch and Ivan-tsarevich who was tamed by her. Victor often corrected: "Not just tsarevich. More like Иван-дурак/Ivan the dumb..." And Kitty yelled and sniffed until one day he finally resoluted: - Yes, tsarevich, because the son of the King. Yes, дурак, потому что весь в мать/ because like mother, like son." Yuuri fell on the floor laughing first. After some time Beka began to giggle. And only in the evening the realization hit their King too. And he set on the balcony with a cigarette muttering: - Сообразил бля, пизденыш... / What an idea, little shit...

Bullets went through heads but the blood streams down from the wounds, soaking the coach. It's not obvious yet. And seems as if they can wake up any moment. Снежный gets up, walks close and touches the pulse. It's not necessary, but he can't leave it unchecked. Even if everything is obvious. Yurio seems aggressively glad even in his death. He is still short and thin like a girl. He always cursed and promised to grow taller then his commander. He won't. They won't get to know if he would grow tall for real or would stay being this tiny grace. Yuuri cups General's face and smiles. Gently and possessively. Like noone but him ever could: - We'll keep up with them. Snow King sloppily nods pulling his boy closer. The unclear thought is tossing somewhere deep into the brain. But all that hurry, explosions and endless shit don't leave it a chance to be formed. Is it something Beka wanted to say? Anyway there's no time to think about it anymore. He caresses Yuuri's cheek, looks into black abyss and forgets everything. They have less then a couple of minutes. - I'm sorry, малыш... What else to say?... The boy clings to his General with a happy laugh. Rises head looking from beneath and smiles. Mischievously. And playfully. He wants to say he was happy for all these years with him. He was overwhelmed with love to this man since early childhood. Since the first time he saw this the most beautiful face ever. He admired the winter seeing him in every snowflake. Снежный Король filled his entire existence with the meaning and multiple colors even if for others it seemed to the monotonous white. Kay knows better than anyone: only the white keeps all other spectrums and shades. Only in arms of his King and in the middle of the winter desert he felt on the right place. Of course the boy has no time or even suitable words to express it. But Snow King will understand. He always reads it through touches. Yuuri hungrily leans to these soft and tender lips: - I love U. I always wanted to die with U and from your hand. What's more can I wish for? - Stupid kid... - sighs General. It's not obvious from the side but this patronizing tone is flirty. Yuuri, his shy, anxious, naive berserk always was weirdly protective. But not of that annoying type of countless fans who dreamed to see him broken to have a chance to pity him. No. It always was a different protectiveness. Reliable and loyal like walls of your own home. He became the Ivory Tower locking his Sow King in a trap he would rather die then leave. The boy clings closer and deepens the kiss, sneaking under the t-shirt. Sly sparkles in a black abyss become only brighter: - What I really regret - that we don't have time to make love now. I'd be happy to die like this. Victor smiles, digging fingers into dark silk and bites his lip. Yuuri moans, scratching his back under black fabric. Splinters of the northern sky are sad. But tender: - I love U, Kay. Cold steel touches boy's temple. Yuuri smiles leaning to it with that very euphoric expression he always had melting in Snow King's caress.

Frosted finger slowly presses the trigger.

So familiar, so loved body turns into a heavy doll falling into arms of it's master. Victor slowly lays his boy on the floor near the windowsill. They often set there in winter hugging each other and sharing one cigarette in a stupid hope the smoke will be blown away into the open window. Legs are heavy... Too heavy to go with Yuuri to the better place. And... It's fine like this. The entire world drowns into a crimson mist. It begins from boy's temple and wraps his King and everything around into the tightest embrace without a way to set yourself free. But he never ever wanted to get out of it anyway. General Snow King checks up the heartbeat in Yuuri's chest. Silent. He leans to still warm but motionless lips, blindly turns on the final countdown on a self-destruction system. And presses the trigger, aiming into silver locks. Snow King falls on the chest of his Kay. Blood stained lips of the boy still keep a shadow of a smile.
