Tom doing some VERY, very impressive ballet spins (pirouettes and fouettes). And he is doing them in fucking belted jeans! He could have worn something more comfy and stretchy for the occasion, lol. Anyway, so impressive that after all these years he still nails them so well, even in low-rise jeans and socks……

His spins are spinning my world. 😍😍

An Introduction to Viktuuri

The main fandom classics, and essential reading!

Until My Feet Bleed and My Heart Aches by Reiya (197k) Explicit ‘…Of all the rivalries in the world of sports over the years, perhaps none has become so legendary as that of Russian figure skater Viktor Nikiforov and his rival, Japanese Yuuri Katsuki…’ A single event changes the course of Yuuri’s life, throwing him into a bitter rivalry with Viktor Nikiforov that spans across his entire skating career. But as the years go on, rivalry and hatred begin to develop into something very different and Yuuri doesn’t seem to be able to stay away, no matter how hard he tries. Hatred and love are two sides of the same coin and even though everything changes, some things are still meant to be. Comment: Absolutely legendary fic in the fandom, but be warned, its like wading through a sea of angst and feelings. So many feelings.

Masquerade by Ashida (54k) Explicit “Just say the word.” came the whisper as Victor stepped close, behind them Yuuri was aware of guns out and at the ready, of confused men and questioned loyalties, here Victor was offering, and Yuuri was too selfish to say no. “Ok.” Yuuri smiled as this game of masquerade came to an end, what would happen now, he didn’t know, he would probably die, his family would come after him and try to put a knife in his back or a bullet between his eyes, none of it mattered, because together they would fight, and the rest of the world would finally burn.

Excelsior by powerandpathos (77k (WIP)) Explicit Yuuri wanted the reporters to leave knowing one thing: That he had found Viktor in a way that they had not; that Viktor was his in the same way that he was not theirs: utterly, entirely, completely. Yuuri has won the Grand Prix, which was everything he thought he wanted. But for Yuuri, an end to skating could mean an end with Viktor, and when two female skaters approach them with an offer that could make them or break them, they are put to the test more than ever. Can they rise higher than they already have?

Do you have a fic rec list of well-characterized Victor?

I’ve got a few, yes!

I think by now we all know the legendary Call Everything On The Ice… by shysweetthing, but it’s worth a mention in case anyone hasn’t checked it out. Canon compliant fic filling in some of the gaps, in which Victor stresses himself out over language barriers (or lack thereof), and lots of very cathartic things happen. Eventually.

If you’re a fan of ridiculously over-the-top, “we’re literally living together and sleeping with each other but somehow haven’t gotten the memo that the feelings are returned” mutual pining (which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but I enjoy it now and then), a good one to check out may be Just Hold On (We’re Going Home) by kiaronna. It’s a fic in which Yuuri remembers the banquet and Victor forgets instead, and Yakov intervenes to everyone’s (eventual) benefit. It’s been awhile since I read this one, but I remember really enjoying how Victor was allowed to be emotionally intense, and (when not being angsty bc miscommunication about feelings) very bubbly and energetic without feeling Fandom Cliche Extra Victor.

And as far as depressed Victor goes, I’ve also been enjoying chasing down an anodyne by farseersfool. It’s a WIP semi-AU (Victor is a still figure skater, Yuuri went into music instead, and ends up composing Victor’s program music for his final season), which does a very good job of portraying Victor’s loneliness and isolation, and his analytical side really shines in how he approaches Yuuri and tries to learn the best way to continue to become closer to him without making him uncomfortable.

Another great one is the entirety of the Firsts Are Complicated series by peanutbutterpianist. This is a criminally overlooked series, primarily oneshots, set post-S1 and mostly chronicling the process of Yuuri and Victor growing into their relationship. The characterization of Victor differs sometimes from my personal headcanons, but it’s always a complex, engaging characterization, that’s been skimming the surface of a lot of Victor’s issues and gradually delving deeper into them bit by bit as the series progresses, so I’m interested to see where that will go.

There’s also a longer oneshot called and I feel life (for the very first time) by smudgesofink that has pretty good characterization, which is impressive because it was written significantly pre-Ep10, so considering how much information was missing from our understanding of Victor at the time it was written… it’s a standard issue Victor’s-tragic-backstory-and-then-falling-in-love-with-Yuuri fic, but I like the execution on this one.

There are probably plenty more out there, but those are the ones I found in a quick survey of my bookmarks, and it’s late af and I have to work in the morning, so I’ll have to leave you with that for now.
