Grief and Ravioli by suchA_Consequentialist for raedear

Summary
"My love won't stop reading to spar with me. Can you substitute for him?" Joe has an easy smile on his face, and two swords in his hands. It’s a lazy attempt on his part, but Nile’s been avoiding him for the better part of four days, and if she refuses this then he’ll probably resort to more obvious and less cathartic methods of trying to engage with her.

Summary
Joe stands for a moment to watch the shift in muscles of Nicky’s back as he shifts to make space for Joe. It’s dusk now. Soon, he won’t be able to see much anymore, just the glints of the cigarette ends burning and if he’s lucky, the dark circles under Nicky’s large eyes illuminated by a flickering street light.
Joe is the waiter to Nicky's line cook in a failing Italian restaurant. They don't like each other. They take smoke breaks together. They figure it out eventually <3

Summary
As Booker’s hysterical crying broke out of his nursery for the fourth time, Joe set his elbows to the wall and dug his fingers into his hair, pulling sharply as he groaned.
“Any time you like, Goblin King,” he muttered, barely audible to his own ears over the rain and the cries.
The cries ceased. The rain ceased. Silence echoed through the hallway.

Joe is very confident when he makes the decision that Nicky does not need to know the details about his time in that room. Not until the pain is a little duller.

I'm sorry but that's my dog you have there. by Linisen for raedear

Summary
“Yuuri,” Mari said in a rush, and she sounded so frazzled, in a way Yuuri wasn’t sure he had ever heard before. “I’m so sorry but… We- we lost Vicchan. We can’t find him anywhere and I-”
“What do you mean-” Yuuri started and then let out a sharp gasp, blinking fastly as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing. Seemingly to appear out of thin air, a large brown standard poodle jumped onto the ice.
The dog barked, and Victor turned towards it, eyes going wide as Vicchan took a few quick steps towards him, jumping up to place his large paws on Victor’s chest. The skater slipped backwards and landed on his butt.
“It seems a large dog has made its way into the arena and is sitting on Viktor Nikiforov?” Yuuri heard one of the announcers say in the speakers, and his heart pounded so hard against his ribs. It wasn’t just him seeing this then. “He seems quite happy about it to be honest.” -

Summary
The carriage came to a sudden, resounding halt, so abrupt that it threw Yusuf forward in his seat.
“Sébastien?” Yusuf called through the wall in front of him, to where his driver sat. “Sébastien, what is happening?”
“There’s a man in the road,” Sébastien hollered back. “I’ll shift him, just give me a moment.”

Summary
By the time he’s sixteen, Viktor has had three boyfriends. The longest relationship lasts three months; all three of them dump him when they realize he’s serious about not going further than kissing.
Maybe it’s silly, to want to wait for a soulmate who may never come, but on top of that, Viktor just has better things to do than have sex with boys who don’t deserve the privilege. He’s not winning yet, but he knows he will be soon enough—Yakov says so, and anyway Viktor knows, deep in his bones and his blood, that someday he’ll be on top, and he’ll stay there.
He kind of likes the idea of packaging up his gold medals, with his virginity on top like a bow, and handing them to his soulmate, as if to say, here, these are for you, these are me. I hope they’re enough. I hope I’m enough.

Summary
“Fucking bullshit on a stick,” he mutters to himself.
“Ah, excuse me,” Nicky says from the doorway.
Joe jumps.
“I forgot my…” Nicky pops in through the door, picks up his biro from the desk (it’s a blue plastic biro, he was never going to miss it, how did he even notice he forgot it when Joe saw he had three others just like it in his briefcase?) and, with a jaunty little wave, he leaves.
Joe groans and collapses onto his chair.
It is not the best first impression he could have made.
In which Joe is a total disaster around supremely put-together Nicky.

Summary
Thighs pressed together, Nicky feels Joe’s thickening cock against his own, nestled in tight briefs and held in place, and it makes him throb. Joe makes a noise as Nicky presses their hips together, hard enough that it rubs and hurts against Nicky’s pubic bone. It only makes him roll forward, kissing along Joe’s jaw, reaching down to slip his hand in the back pocket of Joe’s jeans and squeezing, drawing him closer still.
Joe’s fingers slide underneath the strap along his hip, caressing the skin there, and Nicky shivers. He kisses Joe again, open-mouthed and messy.
“I can’t wait to feel you inside me.”
Nicky has to close his eyes, swallowing against the arousal burning through him. It’s too much, there’s too much he wants to do to Joe, with Joe, so turned on he’s shaking with it.

Summary
The highlight of Joe’s night was when someone pushed past him at the crowded bar and accidentally knocked into his shoulder, which, he reflected as he left the pub, served to show just how desperate he had become.
“Move to London!” Quynh had said. “It’ll be great! Andy and I will be just around the corner, we’ll see each other all the time!” And then, as soon as Joe had tacked up his posters onto the wall of the cramped shoebox studio that was all he could afford, Quynh and Andy had announced the purchase of their new house in Oxfordshire, decamping with what Joe considered to be unholy speed.

“No, no,” Joe had said, waving his drink around. “Not me. Even if I were into women, which I’m not, Nicky would kill me. No, I know just the lesbian for you. She’ll set you right.”
Quynh had wrinkled her nose. “I’m not sure about that. I did my experimenting in college, same as anyone, and none of those women ever did it either.”
“Those women weren’t Andy,” Joe had said. “I won’t push, but if you change your mind, let me know. I know she’d be happy to help.”

Summary
“All done,” Joe said with a bright smile as Nicky turned to face him, gripping his hands tightly together. “Should be spick and span. Want to do a walkthrough before I go?”
Nicky absolutely could not be in an enclosed space with this man. Just being in his airy kitchen with Joe was making Nicky perspire, sweat prickling at his hairline and under his arms. “I trust you,” Nicky said to cover himself. “Let me just get my checkbook and I’ll get you your payment.” Joe nodded, and Nicky took a few steps toward the threshold before coming to a stop. “Ah.”
“Problem?” Joe asked, looking concerned.
Nicky huffed an embarrassed laugh, rubbing a hand over the back of his neck. “I’ve just realized,” he said shamefacedly. “I think I left my checkbook in my briefcase, which I left in my office for the long weekend.”

Summary
Joe and Nicky are captured by a skinny, smug asshole who seems to have built a machine to wipe an immortal from the fabric of existence. It doesn't quite work according to plan.

Summary
Nicky had made a series of decisions in the past few hours, none of them good. He’d made the decision to shout at his boss instead of doing his meditation breathing, when Merrick had spent thirty solid minutes dissecting and denigrating the presentation Nicky had spent two weeks on. In the moment it had felt like an inevitability, but in retrospect he could see the exact second he’d made the decision not to hold back anymore.

Summary
The crowd was roaring, as it always was when Victor and Yuuri were on the ice together, but Victor barely heard it.
All of his being, all of his senses were focused on Yuuri, attuned to his body and his movements, guiding each other through the choreography they had built together. There was Yuuri‘s hand in his hand and then Victor‘s hand on Yuuri‘s arm, searing hot points of contact.
Somehow, despite the thousands of people watching them, despite the roaring noise in the arena competing with the music, this felt just as intimate, just as intense as it had in their late night training sessions when it was just the two of them on the ice, surrounded by darkness and stillness, only their breaths and the scrape of their blades on the ice, blending together.

Summary
Yuuri was fourteen when he woke during the night from a burning sensation on his wrist, gasping as he pulled it up to his face to examine what was wrong. Presentation was painful, everyone knew, and perhaps Yuuri got to feel what his soulmate did, as he gritted his teeth and tears sprung into his eyes when a new symbol burned itself into his skin, in the same soft gold as the rest.
