Grand Prix Scandal in Barcelona: A Bronze Bought and Paid For? It’s a headline that shakes the core of the skating world. Did Isabella Yang’s family really bribe the GP judges to get J.J. onto the podium? As more and more revelations drop, it’s not just the bronze medal called into question anymore. Yuuri, Yurio, and Victor find themselves in the crosshairs too, as the skating world tries to come to terms with what happens next.
Yuuri played with fire. He ventured into the woods and ignored the way his body burned with heat. But now, he must face the truth of his status as an omega. He was far away from home, away from his herbs, away from a nest. That was when his nose found it: a scent, soothing and wonderful. When he finds its source, Yuuri nestles into it. But what happens when the owner of that wonderful scent comes home to find a heatsick Yuuri in his bed?
Yuuri Katsuki needed to get a grip on himself. Just because his new roommate looked like a silver-haired descendant from the Greek gods did not give him the right to thirst so hard. They were there to study! To explore! To experience studying abroad! Not to… not to… Victor Nikiforov really should have been prepared for the beauty that was his roommate Yuuri Katsuki, but he wasn’t. And now, he doesn’t know how to ask the most important question! The rainbow question. The ‘do I have a chance?’ question.
Well, at least they both still have their secret love of skating. But when Katsudon🇯🇵 clashes with BladesofGold🇷🇺 online, Yuuri and Victor are one step away from seeing just how much they have in common.
The rarest and most precious of soul bonds are the ones that pull soulmates across the world to be together. Ones that also cross time? Well, those are things of legend. So what is Victor Nikiforov to do when, on the night after he got silver in Worlds and was at his lowest, a naked Japanese skater appears in his room? And what does Yuuri Katsuki do, having been thrust four years into the past, into the lap of his idol? Crossing time means Yuuri has lost four years from his life to be with Victor, but that moment truly changes everything.
Victor has never won an Olympic gold. It’s the only one he’s missing from his collection, actually. The quads are landing harder, and Victor understands that this is going to be his last chance to stand on the Olympic podium. But… Russia puts a demand on him. If he’s going to compete, he needs to stop being Yuuri Katsuki’s coach. Well, not even the Olympics and an ocean can keep two star-crossed lovers away from each other. After all, how often do you get to compete on an Olympic stage against your husband?
It is said that every soulmated person has a special dream. One that happens at a crucial moment in their life when their older self appears to them to speak to them. The words are chosen carefully, and held close for fear that uttering them will change the future, but the right words spoken at exactly the right time have a way of changing the course of a person’s life. For Victor Nikiforov and Yuuri Katsuki, do their whispered words ring true?
The hours between leaving Russia and arriving in Japan were some of the longest in Victor’s life. Makkachin was fighting for his life, and Yuuri was fighting for his career, and here Victor was, alone. Or so he thought… because Hasetsu has a way of taking care of their own, and somewhere along the way, Victor Nikiforov became one of their own.
When Yuuri first met Victor Nikiforov, he fell in the ocean. But that did not stop the affection between the two from growing. So when Yuuri reaches out to his beloved penpal about his impending marriage, Victor realizes that he must act. Love can survive across oceans, but can Victor make it in time?
It was supposed to be a 10 minute visit, in and out, assess, and leave. But a tornado warning means that Yuuri has more time to talk to Victor Nikiforov, in prison for identity theft, and soon Yuuri realizes that for the first time, the man he is speaking to deserves a whole lot more than a single conversation.
Katsuki Yuuri had it all figured out. At the age of eleven, he knew exactly what he would wish for during Tanabata. Yuuko was beautiful and had stolen his heart, so he wrote upon his paper “I wish for my idol to fall in love with me.” But fate had other plans for Yuuri. When the kami goes on walkabout, she returns to find her shrine abandoned. So she scours up the only wish she can find, and soon has granted Yuuri his wish. It was simple too, as his idol’s heart was already swayed. All it would need is one little extra push.
There is nothing worse than being the only person in the room who can’t speak the language, and for Victor, this was never more clear than during Yuuri’s press conference. Whatever it was that Yuuri said made everyone go silent, declaring Victor need to “ask Yuuri to explain it himself” as if the words “love “, “family”, and “Victor” had not been said in quick succession.
Well, Victor has a plan to find out what Yuuri confessed.
It is said that every soulmated person has a special dream. One that happens at a crucial moment in their life when their older self appears to them to speak to them. The words are chosen carefully, and held close for fear that uttering them will change the future, but the right words spoken at exactly the right time have a way of changing the course of a person’s life. For Victor Nikiforov and Yuuri Katsuki, do their whispered words ring true?
Victor never liked celebrating his birthday. It was a reminder that the world would move on, that the time when he would no longer be at the top of the podium was closer, that he would be forgotten. But that was before Victor met Yuuri Katsuki, who had plans of his own for Victor’s birthday.
Phichit was used to his Instagram photos getting likes. He lived for it! Then one day, v_nikiforov started to like photos. One after another. And there was a single thing that connected all of those photos: Yuuri Katsuki. So why was Victor Nikiforov liking all these photos, when Yuuri insisted that the two had not talked at all at the Grand Prix Final? Well, Phichit always did love a good mystery, and would get to the bottom of this!
Makkachin has an urgent message for Yuuri. Come to Victor’s bedroom! He needs you! And when Yuuri obliges, he’s trapped between Victor’s nightmares and Makkachin’s insistence. But Yuuri soon finds out that it always makes sense to follow a dog.
Yuuri probably would have been better off not knowing they existed. After all, St. Petersburg was already a huge adjustment, but… Yuuri would not be able to think about anything else until he tasted of the forbidden fruit. So now, he was on a mission. He would get his hands on Victor Nikiforov’s old skating videos, even if he has to bribe Yakov to pull it off.
Did Victor make a mistake, coming to Hasetsu? Yuuri ran away from his advances, seeming really to only want Victor to coach him. That wasn’t the plan, that wasn’t Victor’s plan. Then one night, Victor overhears Yuuri on the phone with Minako-sensei, and that conversation puts everything in perspective for him.
Victor kissed Yuuri. He kissed Yuuri in front of thousands of people. Because Yuuri petted him on the head and did a quad flip. Because Yuuri was the most amazing person Victor had ever met, and… he couldn’t take it anymore. Victor had once asked Yuuri, “what do you want me to be to you?” But he had never given Yuuri his own answer to that question. And it was finally time to be brave, and to ask for what he wants.
Victor knew better, honestly. He was an icon who really had to be careful how he approached other skaters, especially the cute ones. But… how does one turn down a night with the winner of a dance-off, who even held his own in the pole dance against Chris? Yuuri needed a place to crash. All Victor had done was offer one. But instead of the night he was expecting, Victor got something so much more profound.
