Summary
“I don’t want you to think I’m not grateful to be here, Yuuri,” he spoke up in a rush, almost stumbling over his words. “I love being around your family. They treat me like a Katsuki, like I belong here— ”
“You do belong here,” Yuuri cut in, shifting even closer and making it impossible for Viktor to look away. “But that doesn’t mean you always have to feel grateful. You can hurt, too.”
And now Viktor was the one giving a noisy swallow, because Yuuri had hit the nail on the head, hadn’t he?
Whenever Hiroko called him ‘Vik-chan’, or whenever Toshiya gave him a fond pat on the head while they drunkenly watched soccer, Viktor felt a surge of warmth wash over him. But the warmth always eventually receded, leaving a yawning chasm that found him longing to remember the last time his own mother or father had evoked such peace in him.
Had they ever?
“You don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to, but it’s ok to feel sad when you think about your family, Viktor,” Yuuri resumed, and Viktor couldn't trust himself to speak without flying apart at the seams.

Summary
Posted by u/HoldingSpace777 • 4 hours ago
I get such secondhand embarrassment sometimes by the things I read in this subreddit. Most notably: the use of the word “botched” when it comes to Yuuri and Sochi. I think I may be driven to commit homicide if I see yet another person talk about last night’s livestream “scandal” with some throwaway comment like “oh, no wonder Yuuri got trashed at the banquet, he’d just completely botched his chance to impress Viktor”. Listen here, you shriveled rutabagas!!! YUURI DIDN’T ‘BOTCH’ ANYTHING, NOT THEN AND NOT EVER!!
I’m sorry to have to bring root vegetables into this, but have these people just been ignoring all of Viktor’s interviews these last 3 years?!

Amidst a social media shitstorm, Viktor and Yurio help Yuuri come to terms with the aftermath of the prior night’s drunken livestreamSeries

Summary
“Every time you point out a building you think you can recognize, it makes me feel like I’m seeing my hometown through new eyes,” Yuuri said, sounding shy. “The city’s been offering hot air balloon rides since well before I was born, and I guess I took it for granted as something only brand new tourists would get anything out of. But now that we’re up here and I can see how excited you are by it all even after being here for a few months…it feels like a reminder to appreciate what’s in front of me.”
A loaded silence stretched out between them and Viktor could only blink a few times in astonishment as he tried his best to catalogue what such heartfelt words brought up for him.
In the moment, he was stunned at how relieved the admission made him feel; he knew, instinctively, that Yuuri had been enjoying himself during this outing, but even so, it soothed a deep-seated ache within him that wondered if his “oohing” and “aahing” over every little thing he could see was getting annoying.

Summary
“Oh, my! Are you alright?” Viktor urgently questioned, laying a hand on his shoulder while Yuuri tried to attend to his streaming nose.
His tone was genuine, but Yuuri knew him well enough by now to pick up on the glee at making him lose composure so early on in their role-playing. As he wiped his chin, he threw Viktor a dirty look, noting how he was trying not to laugh.
“I’m f-fine, Pantalaimon. My name is Lee, by the way,” Yuuri managed to choke out in between a few hoarse coughs. “Lee Scoresby. I was caught off-guard because for a second, I thought I saw someone I knew on the dancefloor.”
And because his nose was stinging pretty acutely, Yuuri decided to lean into his petty side.
“I thought I’d seen my ex, Chihoko,” he nonchalantly went on, now having to fight a grin at the betrayed look his husband shot him. “She had a very distinctively bend-y dance style, it was kind of unmistakable.”

Summary
Just when he was sure that Yuuri would beg for her to say something, Mari looked up and voiced a sentence that made Viktor’s eyes sting and his chest ache.
“You should let me pierce your ears. I’m pretty much an expert at it by now.”
And…oh.
Crying was still a new enough thing for Viktor that he often didn’t even realize it was happening, but this was not one of those times; tears of joy and overwhelm and sheer relief dripped steadily down his cheeks, and he grounded himself in the sensation.
Before he could even think about wiping them away, Yuuri whipped out his favorite Makka-printed handkerchief, put it into Viktor’s hand and mechanically brought his arm up to his face.
You should let me pierce your ears.
It was a seven word reaction that was so completely Mari: a suggestion offered in the measured, almost subdued sort of tone that someone else might have taken for disinterest.

Summary
Post-canon, and set primarily during the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games (but also containing sub-plots taking place in the prior years) this series follows Yuuri, Viktor, and Yurio as they navigate the 2022 Games, which marks Yuuri’s final competition prior to retirement.
Given certain events that took place during the 2018 Games — that rocked the figure skating world and had widespread implications for the sport — competing in Beijing presents very unique challenges.

So good, holy shit. It’s so rare to read things from Hatori’s POV and this felt so in line with his character. Never thought I’d see an Akito orgy in the fandom but I’m so glad this exists

Absolutely incredible. Hands down, probably my favorite pre-canon Ayame story. His characterization feels so real

Bookmarker's Notes
Beautifully written and this passage in particular will stay with me:
Her words were a little cold, a little distant, a little bit of everything Ayame knew would only grow until the canyon stretching between them was immeasurable. He tried to etch this memory of her into his mind. The tiny figure wrapped up thickly in secrets and lies, face still smooth and untouched by madness that wouldn't last long. Ayame knew, someday, he wouldn't be able to see this Akito anymore and there was a wound in his soul that would never heal.
