Summary
It’s strange, to think of the ways he’s tried to make other people love him, and how none of his techniques seem to work here. He’d tried, with Hiroko, only to realize he didn’t need to; she already loved him. Now he’s trying with Mari—reeling in all those grating parts of himself, the ones that chafe against other people. Turning them inward, to grate at him instead. For as long as he can manage; for as long as he has to.
Viktor may have promised to be himself. Yet it takes more than an afternoon on a beach to imagine opening, vulnerable and new, to the whole world rather than just one man.
With Mari, he’s sure, he just needs to work harder.Series

Summary
“If this is about that ridiculous man’s baby bump comment," Viktoria says, "just because you’re bloating a little and it’s the off-season… you should know. You’re beautiful, my Yuri, no matter your weight, and there’s nothing shameful about—“
“I’m not ashamed.” Hands are tipping Viktoria’s silver head back onto the couch, short fringe falling from her eyes.
“Ahh?”
“I, well,” Yuri's lashes flutter and despite the gravity of the situation, all the hot blood that was fueling Viktoria’s speech now rushes down low. “After he said it, I got distracted and couldn’t think of anything else except…”Series

Summary
Maybe Nishigori got ahold of a lock of Viktor's hair, and some Polyjuice potion. Maybe it's all an elaborate prank. With this as his only reasonable explanation, he steps forward, snags Viktor by his robes and tugs him in.
"Nishigori," he says in Japanese, "this prank isn't funny. Your English is better than when I left, though."
"Ah," says the fake Viktor Nikiforov in English, voice dipping, and is he blushing? "What was that?"
"Maybe I got hit in the head by a Bludger," Yuuri muses. Viktor's smile grows ever wider, tightening at the edges. "Maybe I never came home from my international Quidditch competition. Maybe I'm lying in the hospital right now, hallucinating."
There has to be an explanation, mystical and magical or medical, for the best Seeker in the Quidditch world showing up at his door; something besides his portrait, which won't stop talking to Yuuri anyway.Series

Summary
Viktor leans forward, the curve of his smile soft. Achingly, Yuuri’s fingers imagine what it’d be like to trace it.
“You think I want to romance celebrities?”
“Well, you’re a celebrity,” Yuuri feebly tries to explain.
“Exactly. Now you’re just being ridiculous,” Viktor counters, smirk growing. “The one romancing a celebrity is you."

Summary
“Hey,” says Yuri Plisetsky, “you do realize that guy you’re throwing your tack box at doesn’t work here, right?”

Summary
Viktor Nikiforov runs a 5-star restaurant, and Yuuri is the perfect food critic—unassuming, easily overlooked, just your everyman who can get a real evaluation of how a restaurant would treat its customers. Unfortunately, he’s pretty sure that Nikiforov has already figured him out, judging by the way he’s flinging free desserts and spoonfuls of authentic borchst at the Japanese man.

Summary
Well-adjusted adults do not usually consider a tipsy teenage encounter in a bathroom to be the peak of their sexual experience, especially if that encounter was mostly chaste, closed mouth kisses and sighing into each others shoulders as they sat on the cool, real marble of the hotel’s sink basin. Yuuri might not be a well-adjusted adult.
Viktor and Yuuri meet in a high school debate competition, and then later as lawyers in New York. Some things change with time, but others never do.
Lawyer/debate kid AU, short one-shot.Series

Summary
Having worked in a jewelry store for his entire life, Viktor recognizes what’s happening long before the beautiful— if sloppily dressed—stranger even enters the shop. The pacing, the light flush, the way his amber eyes linger on the displays as he passes the storefront again and again: all of them easy signs.
He’s a man who wants to propose to his significant other, but is incredibly nervous about it.Series

Summary
Makkachin pounces, and the white paper bag spills from Yuuri’s hand onto the floor of Yu-topia’s entryway. A printed out medical prescription—and two bottles of what are unmistakably heat suppressants.
“Beta,” is all Viktor can croak as Yuuri stops kissing Makkachin’s head enough to start unceremoniously scooping the mess back into the bag. “But you’re a beta?”
“Hmm?” Yuuri says, eyes flicking to the pill label, “oh, these are for Mari.”
“I see,” Viktor replies, gathering himself together enough to sweetly wink at his student, “Mari.”
Yuuri just squints at him, tilts his head. “Yes, that’s what I said?”
Viktor Nikiforov is convinced his student has a massive, sexy secret, and will not be swayed (or distracted)! He will be supportive! Even when the evidence isn't lining up...Series

Viktor would worry that Yuuri thinks him angry after their disagreement in Barcelona, but Yuuri is intimate with every emotion of Viktor’s—knows his hand whether it’s shown or clutched to his chest. The change is something else.
Something new. A little tender.Series
