I love the "divorced parents and their grumpy pubescent teen"-energy of this shot.

[moonlightseve]

Yuri on Ice!!! Princess Bride AU where Viktor is an employee at Yuu-topia Katsuki and he falls in love with Yuuri, but then leaves and Yuuri is engaged to the Prince, JJ — and listen, I’m not a JJ hater, but with the whole “king JJ” thing, making him the villain was too good to pass up. Anyway, Yuuri is kidnapped by Yurio, Otabek, and Michele (??? Maybe) and then rescued by the mysterious Dread Pirate Binktop. Yurio is after some guy who killed his grandfather, but idk who would represent the six-fingered man. Maybe that part would need some serious changing.

[alexseanchai]

hey wait. Yakov coaches in St. Petersburg. has for five years that we know of for certain sure—Yuri had already moved there when Otabek was at Yakov's summer camp—and nothing suggests he's ever coached anywhere else.

Lilia was with the Bolshoi Ballet. in Moscow.

kinda wondering now if the reason they divorced was, after she left the Bolshoi was the first time in their lives they lived together more than maybe a couple weeks a year

(and if the reason she insisted Yakov move in with her when Yuri did was, she wasn't happy about being divorced and she suspected Yakov wasn't either, and having someone in the house who they're both responsible for and who's fully capable of telling them to fuck off seemed important to their being able to coexist long enough to figure out how to live together)

Cute, fluffy fic where Yuuri decides to make a YouTube video documenting him telling Viktor (and soon other people) he's pregnant. Not much actual social media account reactions, but instead the reactions of the Yuri On Ice characters.

Yakov x Lilia for the bingo ✨️

okay, i see what you did there, and i love you for sending me this rareship we've discussed recently!!

send me some ships to bingo!

so, i have mixed feelings about them because... well, we simply don't know enough about their relationship to judge! whcih is why i have no idea if i want them to get back together or not...

all i know is i want Yakov to be happy again, after the obvious hurt he went through during canon with divorcing Lilia and having his star athlete leave him all at once. poor grumpy grandpa. he deserves a lil house with balloons- wait, that's another animated story, i got my wires crossed

they deserve more content for sure!! which is why i have to write that Yakov pov fic, right? enable my outside victuuri pov, please :D

[capsensislagamoprh]

I have this scenario in my head, several drabbles really, where in the Russian skating team deals with some small weirdness. From someone super-gluing hotel key cards and doors so they have to stay with Otabeck and his coach at the (way better than theirs, what's with that) hotel three blocks down, and the shocker that is; to figuring out how our hero makes sure he gets enough lift for his jumps; into how they - to the last- try to get him to lift them (a la pairs skating) with 'surprise' jumps and how Yuri's the only one allowed to land it. (Yuuri dose not do this last one, he's far to respectful, but he catches that only Yuri get to accomplish it.) I mean, I got more, but really, I'm a dork and will love these boys til I die. Oh wait. I'm undead. Looks like it's for eternity then.

[beatrice-babe]

WIP Big Bang 2023 Round Starting April 1st!

What is the WIP Big Bang? Good question! This is a Big Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your fanfic drafts folder. These are stories that were unfinished for whatever reason, that authors returned to and completed, and the art that goes with them!

Please read our FAQ/check out our schedule for more details.

[capsensislagamoprh]

Look, when your parents divorce, you sometimes begin to wonder if love is real. When you find it - even if it's in a sketchy vid taken by three cherub related hell spawns - you jump on it.

Victor and Yuri are likely to see Lilia and Yakov as parent figures. They do be bro fighting. (Yuri wondering is Yuuri is good enough for his big bro with some teen BS tossed in because of course, especially after their 'parents' broke up.) So like...

Honestly? Both their attitudes make scene. Why Yuuri is so important to Victor. Why Otabek seems to calm Yuri down (You NEED a friend some times who doesn't judge your bullshit). Why Yakov is having such a hard time. Why Lilia is so stand-off-ish. Parents who still work together for their kids.

But like, Victor is Yakov's fave and Yuri is Lilia's. Even if it's only a slight advantage to each.

This tracks so hard.

when did yakov and lilia divorce?

aka things i never noticed before

yakov is still wearing his wedding ring when we first see him in the gpf finals!

(and yes, that’s his right hand, i know. in russia engagement/wedding rings are worn in your right hand [the same applies to yoiverse in general, as we can see from these fine examples])

but the next time we see him…

the ring…

is gone!

we know the gpf finals are in mid december and victor leaves for japan in mid april, so yakov and lilia’s divorce is very recent. i always imagined it happened years ago, but looks like i was way off.

which brings us to another thing

do you realize how shitty few months these must have been for yakov? first his wife of who-knows-how-many-decades files for divorce, then his star skater (who he probably pretty much thinks of as a son at this point) ditches him without a warning to answer an international bootycall. and let’s not even start with the mess that is the rest of his protégés… this man is in serious need of a holiday.

(things might be looking up for yakov though, since kubo mentioned in an interview that it’s possible him and lilia might get back together one day!)

Yuri #30

After disobeying Yakov and Lillia with his exhibition skate during his senior level debut, being allowed to choreograph it himself and do what he wants for the routines and music and outfits is the one thing Yuri put his foot down on with his coaches going forward.

Author: Ralie__Co

"Just the cast watching the show because no one wrote one. (And I really need one)"

Pretty self-explanatory, the characters from Yuri On Ice watch the show! While this story is not completed, it does get up to episode 6, so I would still recommend giving it a read.

Story Preview: Yuuri's family secretly learns Russian in order to surprise Viktor at their wedding 😭

Preview of my most indulgent story yet, written for the upcoming Viktuuri Week 2024 prompt 'Happiness'

I've always head-canoned that Viktor is estranged from his parents, so I imagine the process of planning his and Yuuri's wedding might be a bit painful when he has to contribute to the guest list. Even if Yakov and Lilia are there as his stand-in parental figures, the absence of a large external family (cousins, aunties, uncles, etc.) might really sting.

So, in a wildly ambitious effort to remind his fiance that chosen family can be just as meaningful as blood, Yuuri implores his immediate family/childhood friends to be part of a secret scheme to learn Russian in time for the wedding. On the day of the festivities, they all gather to give a moving speech welcoming Viktor to the family that brings even Yurio to tears (though he'll lie and say a cherry blossom petal got in his eye). Yuuri plans on paying for these lessons with his earnings from his recent 2018 PyeongChang Games Olympic gold (and some new lucrative sponsorships)

I'm really excited about where this one-shot is going, so I hope I'll be able to finish it in time for posting this Saturday! You can expect a good amount of happy tears

[alexseanchai]

I am here from the fic! is "come on baby, let's do the twist!" by parenthetic (renaissance), is locked to logged-in AO3 users:

Someone give me seventeen-year-old Yakov Feltsman at the 1964 Olympics wearing bell-bottoms and a peasant shirt with a scarf around his head, hair cut into a moptop and skating to The Twist. He landed the first triple flip in competition and, in an interview, announced that his inspiration was the most beautiful girl he’d ever met, his girlfriend of three weeks Lilia Baranovskaya.

Yakov’s coach is banging his head against a wall somewhere just off camera.

Forty years later and Viktor Nikiforov, he of the fae-like looks and waist-length silver hair, wants to wear a bondage costume on the ice and Yakov can’t even tell him not to because when he tries Viktor starts screaming “COME ON BABY LET’S DO THE TWIST” and Yakov is immediately paralyzed with shame.

“I mean, really, you have no room to talk,” Lilia tells him, examining her nails as Viktor announces that he’s engaged to a skater he’s barely known for eight months. Who he’s still actively coaching.

Yuri shows up in his exhibition skate outfit and doesn’t even wait for Yakov to open his mouth before he’s holding up a picture–an actual printed picture where did he find it–in full color of Yakov on the podium at the 1964 Olympics.

“Bell bottoms, old man?” he says, flipping his hair as he skates onto the ice.

(Lilia frames the picture. It hangs in her office underneath a laminated poster reading “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it”)

Things to read while Can You Hear My Heartbeat is on vacation #4

Beneath the Shine of a Thousand Spotlights

Summary:

Viktor had forgotten when he had last felt the rush of adrenaline giving way to drunken euphoria. As the photographers raised their cameras, he hid the emptiness in his heart behind a dazzling smile, sculptured to perfection in two decades of competitive figure skating. Flashlights ripped through the arena like sheet lightning on a murky summer night. Viktor swept back his hair and lifted the golden disk that hung heavy around his neck to his lips. A collective sigh rippled through the crowd as he performed the ritualistic kiss of his medal. Viktor flashed the press another star-smile. Then he hopped off the podium. Twenty years of being Russia’s poster athlete have drained Viktor Nikiforov off the passion he once had held for his sport, but caught up in duty and habit he cannot escape the icon he has become. Thoughts of retirement cross his mind when a drunken Japanese Cinderella dances into his life, stirring a dream of life and love beyond scores and medals. But that which sets his heart on fire also holds the power to throw Viktor into an even darker state of mind. This canon story covers the four months between the GPF and Viktor deciding to become Yuuri’s coach.

Tags: Depressed Viktor, light angst, character study, Viktor lives in his own world, the making of Eros and Agape, lonely Viktor, creative burnout, past Nikimetti, Yakov and Lilia are still married (but for how long?), this story made my beta cry

Excerpt:

“How do you feel having broken your world record in the free programme for the third time?”

“Where will you compete next?”

“Now that you’ve won the Grand Prix Final more often than every other skater in history, what is your next goal?”

“You kept surprising the audience season after season. Do you ever run out of ideas?”

“There have been rumours circulating about you wanting to retire. What are your thoughts about your future career? How will you reassure your fans?”

Viktor tucked his black necktie into the waistcoat of his dark-grey three-piece suit and regarded himself in the mirror. As so often, his silver-blonde bangs exhibited an irritating life on their own. He returned to the bathroom.

I wish I had known my hair would do this before I had it cut, he thought as he fixed the stubborn cowlick with hair wax. Now, it’s too thin to let it grow long again. What late-adolescent fit made me think short hair would give me a more mature image?

One last time, he checked his mirror image before he returned to the bedroom. The day had been crammed with gala practice, interviews, gala, and more interviews he had braved with non-committal answers and his star-smile. Now, one last social function loomed ahead and he would survive this one with more star-smiles and non-committal answers.

What people took for the beautiful and mysterious ice prince was a carefully crafted façade. Never give the press what they’re lusting for. Information was power, and Viktor preferred to stay in control of what he wanted to reveal.

They’ve been talking about my retirement as if I’ve already announced it.

Suddenly, he was choking on the sadness that had been lurking at the edge of his mind during the competition. He had thought it was gone. Why was it back? After three days of competition, he had no energy left to deal with this. And all because some overzealous fan had interpreted his expression during his recent performances as a growing contempt for his craft. As if Viktor’s presentation stood in contrast to his season’s theme.

Just two more hours. I don’t need to stay until the end. There will be champagne and music, and small talk. It’s just a different kind of performance. I have scripts for that.

But he was deluding himself. Unlike a programme that relied on muscle memory and an intense, innate focus, social functions demanded constant attention. Just the thing to look forward to after competing had drained Viktor of the energy he had scraped together to get through the event in the first place. And the Russian Hero was expected to attend even more than any other skater, and Viktor hated to disappoint.

There was a knock on his door.

Taking a deep breath, Viktor composed himself. I kept myself together for a long weekend. I can manage another couple of hours.

He picked up his blazer from the comforter. “I’m coming!”

He opened the door and stared right into a red-cheeked face framed by short blonde curls.

“Chris!”

His friend grinned. “Curious. Your hair doesn’t look like that, dear.”
