Summary:Â Welcome to Yu-topia Inn! Run by a darling family of bake-danuki demons, this remote Gilded Age manor is chock full of fine-polished rooms to ignore the outside world in.

During the day, he brings them food and drinks, but during the night, he keeps watch for other demons that may come and try to hurt them. Itâs a monotonous, routine life for a demon, but Yuuri isnât complaining.
Still, he canât help but feel excited when his childhood friend, the ice-bending vampire Viktor, comes to stay. But Viktor isnât coming as a guest this time; he has an ulterior motive, and Viktorâs decisions that may bring more adventure and drama than Yuuri ever hoped for.

Fic Title/Link: Keep Their Colours True by @pensversusswords
Rated: M
Fandom/Pairing: Yuri!!! On Ice: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov
Status: WIP (Chapters 3 out of ? complete, 12947 words)
Summary:Â Viktor Nikiforov, the Crown Prince of Pobeda, embodies everything Yuuri has heard about him; strikingly beautiful, kind, blessed with hair as silver as starlight that falls down to his waist, has a smile that could make the coldest heart tremble, andâmost importantlyâhe is completely unattainable. Katsuki Yuuri is sworn to protect the Crown Prince with his skill, his dedication, and his life if necessary.
The problem is that Viktor doesnât seem to be content with staying out of reach. He is stubbornly determined to find a place in Yuuriâs life with his smile like sunshine, his infectious exuberance, his friendly disposition.
Yuuri was just supposed to protect Viktor. He wasnât supposed to fall in love with him.

Fic Title/Link:Â Foxfire by @awesometinyhumanbeing
Rated: Not Rated
Fandom/Pairing: Yuri!!! On Ice: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov
Status: WIP (Chapters 1 out of 2 complete, 12852 words)
Summary: He'sâYuuri stops. Mine doesnât sound quite right. For me.
His eyes are smarting, suddenly. He excuses himself with a mumbled apology, hurries to any place that will hide him away. Vulnerability floods through him, makes him clumsy and sensitive.
Heâs for me, Yuuri thinks, and heâs crying, crying, crying.
(The forest is Yuuriâs home, and the kitsune are his kin. Victor teaches him what it means to be human.)
â an AU with Japanese folklore elements, kitsune, beautiful descriptive writing, and a tender Viktor/Yuuri romance. Â
