Lamentations

Chapter 1: discoverer of the humble brush

In the lead-up to the Worlds Figure Skating Championships of 1967, a vampire finds himself revisiting the city in which he was turned. Sixty-seven years later, he contemplates the repercussions.

Viktor POV.

your honor may I present

viktuuri as moomin 🌱🌷

Okay so when Phichit is reminiscing about when he decided he wanted to skate to The King and The Skater, we get a nice little flashback to when he and Yuuri were in college. And in the background, we see a very small corner of a poster.

Hmmmm that’s interesting.

Where have I seen this hand before?

Oh yeah, that’s right. It’s one of the MANY posters we see hung up in Yuuri’s room back in Hasetsu and the same picture Viktor has framed in his bedroom/the banquet room of Yu-topia Katsuki.

So I’m just saying that Yuuri definitely had posters of Viktor hung up all over his dorm too, it isn’t exclusive to his childhood bedroom.

Which means Phichit definitely had to deal with his Viktor obsession! I can’t even imagine how he felt when Viktor flew across the globe to coach Yuuri, or when they got engaged. At this point he must be the #1 Viktuuri stan because how do you watch your best friend pine over a guy for years and then watch them get together and NOT be???

hullo! i hope a yuri on ice question is alright.. do you have any headcanons for future victuuri? weddings, settling down, would they even settle down or would they always be up and about? do you see them as parents later on or is yurio enough of a handful lol

more than alright, thank you so much ♥

I do have some. Most aren't very solid though, they just come up alongside whatever story or emotion I want to explore.

I don't see Viktor competing for long. And not just because of his age. I think him going back into skating is half for Yuuri and half... to retire on his own terms? From a place of feeling fulfilled and satisfied, not from a place of burnout and feeling like he has nothing left to give. I think he doesn't need many more competitions to gives him that. He gets to compete against both Yuuri and Yurio. I enjoy thinking of Viktor winning gold in Russian Nationals, making Yurio eat his "Viktor Nikiforov is dead." And then Worlds being Yuuri getting gold, with Viktor and Yurio's places changing depending on my mood. I almost feel bad for all our other skaters, but it's just how I enjoy imagining that podium.

Yuuri definitely has to get gold, though. Constantly robbed. I think he'll keep skating for a while. I need him becoming as much of a legend as Viktor, but in a way that even he can't deny.

Also, Jewish headcanons. Obviously in canon Viktor eats pork, so it's not like my headcanons have him being particularly devout. In my mind, Viktor's disconnect from culture has to do with disconnect from family, and this is related to how I view his past and background. Parents that pushed him towards achievements, that he quietly distanced himself from once he could. Not necessarily even intentionally, but in canon I feel like he starts with so many walls up, keeping everyone at some distance and just playing a role for them. so the distance from his parents started forming because it was just a role he didn't feel like playing as often.

I imagine him and Yuuri going to live in Hasetsu once he retires, and there he has family. Yuuri's family, but he feels connected. And even though it's not a Jewish family or anything, I feel like having those connections can light a spark for him. So I do like the idea of him starting to celebrate a few more holidays. And a wedding that incorporates cultural elements from both directions.

One thing for example - in Judaism when you get married, the couple is seen as having a particular closeness to the divine, so you're often asked to bless your guests. This is something I like.

I feel like Viktor would use that to make some joke at Yurio. I don't have specifics, just the vibe.

I like the idea of Yurio going to live with them for weeks sometimes off season. Both the Katsuki family and the Nishigori family practically adopted him, and I see Viktor and Yurio's relationship as something sibling-like, so there's a lot of family for him to see. Beka might join him sometimes.

I personally don't see Viktuuri becoming parents. I don't have a reason for this, though, and I'm not all firm on that? Like, I did draw these:

So it's not like I hate the idea of them as parents, I just don't enjoy it as much.

If they do have a kid, though, they look a lot like Yuuri and Viktor is DELIGHTED about it.

Beta readers for two YOI fics needed!

Hi, I'm a canon fic writer and despite being a fan of YOI for about two years still a newbie around here, and I'm looking for beta readers for two of my YOI fanfics, which are part of my "A dream too large to bear alone"-verse. Both have been on hold for more than four months as I got increasingly unsure whether they're worth to be posted at all.

Can You Hear My Heartbeat

This is a 350k novelisation that fills the gaps in the show and dives deep into the relationship of Viktuuri (including the summer of mutual pining!), and it's the first part of a series that continues their story. The entire work has 49 chapters, but I stopped posting after about 50% because the entire thing felt like a ton of shit. You can read the first 25 chapters here.

I'm looking for someone who knows the anime by heart and can help me figure out the things I got wrong regarding characterisation, background info and stuff. As I had some trouble integrating the scenes from the anime into the story and making the transitions look smooth, I would like to have feedback on that, too! As this story covers long intervals of time which are skipped in the anime, I might also need some advice on making these more interesting to keep readers invested. Or to make it short: This story sucks and I don't know why and I need constructive feedback to make sense of all its issues.

2. Beneath the Shine of a Thousand Spotlights

This story covers the time from the Grand Prix Final to Viktor flying to Japan to become Yuuri's coach from Viktor's viewpoint and is about his struggles with depression and being Russia's figurehead in skating. It also includes some flashbacks that feature his relationship with Chris. I've been thinking about including even more backstory, but I'm not sure whether I should put this into an extra fic.

The entire story is 91k long and has 14 chapters in total. You can read Chapter 1 here.

I just finished the revision and now I'm looking for someone to discuss my ideas with and who can tell me whether they're totally unhinged or not. If you have a special interest in Viktor and/or have expert knowledge on Russia and psychology that would be super helpful, too!

As English isn't my first language and the capabilities of writing tools are limited to their algorithm, I also need my beta(s) to look for grammar and weird phrasing in either story.

If you're interested, are over 18, and have experience in beta-reading and/or enjoy literary analysis, I'd be happy to get to know you! As both works are on hold and I would love to continue posting soon, please apply for only one! If you want to do only language or plot, that would be fine, too!

In return, I offer to beta-read one of your works in case you're a writer. I can also give advice on fantasy and sci-fi worldbuilding. If this doesn't work for you, I'd be happy to write a one-shot or short story for you. Please feel free to ask me about my Do's & Don'ts!

I'm looking forward to working with you!

Reblogs appreciated <3

I am a simple woman. I wake up, rub my eyes, and think about the kiss scene from Yuri! on Ice

[rikichie]

On twitter I offered commissions for BLM-related donations.

This is my first commission. A  happy drawing of Viktor and his baby. I don't often get to draw kids, so this was fun and I’m very happy with how it turned out.

Viktuuri would be lovely at raising a tiny.

If your queer animated protagonist doesn’t have an onscreen kiss with their main love interest halfway through season 1 and gets engaged to them like 3 episodes later is the show really worth watching

Based on @crimson-chains‘s and @lucycamui‘s Siren AU. If you enjoy Yuri on Ice please read it, it is well written with crimson’s art accompanying it making it a beautiful work <3

“Then let us make it happen," he said. Yuuri could only nod his assent as he reached for the Prince's hand. Instead of a handshake like Yuuri expected, the Prince bypassed his hand and locked his fingers around Yuuri's forearm. He held on tight and so, Yuuri returned it. They were supposed to be equals in this and even if Prince Victor was to be King one day, until that time Yuuri will not let him get a step ahead. Or so he hoped.” from chapter 2 of if there's a will, there's a way by @katzuyas

this is my drawing for the wonderful @katzuyas‘s fic if there’s a will, there’s a way for the @victuri-big-bang. it’s an amazing and fantastic story!! click here to read it on ao3! this was my very first big bang and i had a lot of fun working with her on this! thank you very much!! c:
