Preferred genres of writing: AU, Fluff, drama, sometimes angst? Can write decent smut if it’s needed…  (❛ᴗ❛)

Works:

Dearly Beloved

Chapters: 90/? Seriously, this story can go on forever. It’s an A/B/O story that is surprisingly free of angst, it’s about Yuuri and Victor finding out that they are soulmates at a very young age, and growing up together. It’s very filled with tooth-rotting fluff, so I suggest you keep a toothbrush nearby.

The Heroes of our Time

Chapters: 9/?

A Superhero AU, in which Yuuri and Victor live in the same crime-ridden city. Yuuri gets saved by Victor’s superhero alias “Silverstar” at a very young age and spends years admiring him from afar, until he falls into Victor’s lap years later, and gets his attention. And when Yuuri gets superpowers of his own, a powerful duo is somehow created in the crime-ridden city. Yuuri knows who Victor is, but Victor has no idea that Yuuri is the attractive superhero he fights crime within the dark. What will happen once all the secrets are out? I suppose only time will tell…

The Pirate King

Chapters: 12/? An AU where Victor, one of the world’s wealthiest pirates, falls off his ship when he’s saving his beloved dog, and somehow ends up on the shore of Hasetsu, in the arms of the prince Yuuri Katsuki and falls madly in love with him. Yuuri falls in love too, but will their love be enough to forget the fact that royalties don’t usually marry pirates? 

My Sanctuary

Chapters: 83/? My angsty A/B/O AU, where omegas are so rare that they are basically extinct. All omegas that are revealed in society gets paired with an alpha immediately (Usually a very wealthy one at that). Yuuri is one of the few omegas that have managed to live in hiding by blocking out his scent. But one day, when his scent blockers run out, he is forced to tell Victor. 

Victor will do whatever it takes to keep Yuuri safe. Even if it means awakening his inner alpha.

You and me against the world

Chapters: 27/? This is a police AU, where Victor and Yuuri are basically the best cops on the force and have been married for about two years. Since they are the best, they are allowed to still work together as partners, despite them being married. Watch out world! Yuuri and Victor are out to clean the streets from criminals! 

About me:  I’ve been writing on AO3 for about a year now. And so far, I’ve written 21 different Yuri!!! On Ice fics, and a ridiculous amount of chapters. I’ve mostly written Victuuri, and the one thing that matters to me is that they will end up together and be happy in the end. I will never kill either one of them off since I literally can’t. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t inflict some damage upon them… ;) 

I’m in for the long run, and I don’t see myself stopping my writing anytime soon. I love the feedback I get from writing, and I love all the friends I’ve made in this amazing fandom. So feel welcome to give my fics a read and join my little cult if you’re interested. You can also nag me about updating them, I’ll do my best to listen <3

YOI Writers Appreciation Month: Kitsunebi

AO3 Username:  Kitsunebi_UK

Tumblr URL: @kitsunebi-uk

Some examples of the writer’s works: 

All That We See or Seem

Like A River to the Sea

The Other Side of Sunset

Just Desserts

Review/note: 

Kitsunebi is my favorite writer in this fandom, and I am so excited to be able to recommend her and give her at least some of the tremendous amount of exposure she deserves.

Her stories are gorgeous, epic, romantic novels - that we as a fandom are so lucky to have in the form of Victuuri fanfiction - in which she explores every facet of Yuuri and Victor’s utterly inspirational love and the power it has to bring them out of their darkest places in ways that are true to real life: from the fluffy to the angsty, and the awkward to the smutty. But never too much - her stories are always about the full universal experience of life and love.

The settings of most of her works are AUs, and exceedingly original ones at that: her debut fic was an Old West AU, followed by an Ancient Greece AU, and she is now in the process of posting an enchanting near-future sci-fi AU in which Yuuri has ESP. They’re all meticulously researched - I always learn a thing or two reading her work! And she just really loves food and always works that into the fics? Like actual recipes?? but also one of her works is a smutty one-shot with a super creative use of custard…

Kitsunebi’s longest fics are hundreds of thousands of words in length, but she never posts before her fics are complete and edited, so you will never, ever be left waiting for updates. She also commissions art for her longfics! Not just cover art, either, but multiple commissions per work. She just goes all out and I love her for it. <3

AO3 Writer: dropsofblue

Username: dropsofblue

Tumblr: intvicates

Name: Cate

Preferred genres in writing: Mostly AUs, Fantasy, Canon/Canon Divergence,Fluff, Smut, Angst. Overall though I don’t really have a preference and I tend to experiment based on what I can come up with.

Works:

I’ll start with the longest fic I’ve written which is “These hours are short;this heart says otherwise” which is basically an angst-filled Time Travel AU where Viktor and Yuuri try to repair their relationship as they were given more time with each other after being sent to the past. It follows a ‘redo’ of what happened in their relationship 4 years ago before tragedy struck. Mostly Angsty, a dash of emotional lovemaking and some fluffy flashbacks.

Another angsty one I’ve written (wow I can’t believe I introduced the angsty fics first;;) is entitled “Hold tight (you’re slowly coming back to life)” which is more of a character study on Viktor Nikiforov and how he came to be. There are some takes on Viktor’s past as well as studies on his possible experiences before he met Yuuri. I think this also falls also under Hurt/Comfort. 

So moving on to the fluffy fics I’ve written, they’re all part of a series I made solely for AUs. Be warned though that the fics I write for this series (especially the ones with potential sequels) may not be posted chronologically. The first work is “With these hamsters, I am god"  which follows Phichit and his attempts at matchmaking his best friend and their boss at the Magazine company they are working for. This is mostly fluff/humor with some innuendos here and there and briefly implied smut. The next part of the series is "Pine & Poetry"  which is basically a secret admirer fic set in uni with cheesy poetry used for flirting. The poems used here were all written by me (p.s. they might get really cheesy or somewhat cringey but anw). Viktor and Yuuri pine for each and Viktor waxes poetry about Yuuri to get his attention.

About:

I write…a lot? And also art on the side. I’ve been writing for years and tbh I’m a fandom oldie. I have anxiety but writing and reading serves as a way for me to destress and relax. I just graduated from university and have been using my free time to just do whatever. I have a lot of planned and half-written WIPs which I haven’t posted but I’m starting to finish them one at time. Currently working on to the sequel of With these hamsters, I am god along with some small AUs and two massive ones;;.I’m very open to experimenting as a writer and hope to try a lot of genres (I hope to especially try writing something science-y since I was a science major in college).  Anyway, I hope to improve a lot more in my writing and I am open to making new friendships in this fandom.

Firefall, my Elf alter ego created by a friend and drawn by me.

Preferred Genre in Writing: I’ve only been doing fanfiction for about a year, so I don’t have a “favorite” per se. I’m most comfortable writing fantasy and about things/situations I know well.

Works: The first fanfic I wrote for YOI (and really only the second overall) was Learning and Laughter, which came to me immediately after binge-watching YOI during New Year’s Week 2017. I kept it to myself for months, until reading fanfic for the show (something else I’d also never done before) made me decide to join AO3. I was nervous about posting it but once it got a favorable response, I got more confident and I started thinking about what else I could write.

Because I had only ever written my own original work, I wasn’t really sure how the fan fiction genre worked so I stuck with what I knew. The result was Of Selves and Souls, a fantasy AU set in an original universe I’d been developing for many years. At age 12, Yuri is with Mari when he falls down a cliff into a ravine and nearly dies until he is healed by a Unicorn. As he comes of age, he finds that the Unicorn’s magic has affected him in a way he never expected: it is changing him into a different species of Unicorn that inhabit a humanoid body. Later in the story we meet Victor aka Vitanya, who is a “classic” Unicorn that shape-shifts into the “Immortal”, or humanoid, type Unicorn. Eventually, Yuri finds out his destiny involves a lot more than just being gifted with sacred magic. The one-shot Taking Root is a companion story that I wrote once OSAS was finished. (The original story this universe came from is also posted in my works, however it is not a YOI fic.)

The fic I just finished, that is the longest thing I’ve ever written, is called All The World’s Indeed A Stage (And We Are Merely Players). It is a singing competition AU that is 99% American Idol-inspired and 1% Eurovision-inspired due to the international contestants element. It ended up being much, much longer than I anticipated because I discovered trying to describe singing and performance is very difficult; because of the AI format, I also basically had to write for a large ensemble cast where I utilized just about every YOI character I could in some way, from bit parts to the eventual Top 12. The story encompasses the entire AI/singing competition journey, from auditions, to Hollywood Week, a special Showcase round and finally, the top 12 finalists competing for the title of Grand Prix Superstar, with a musical theme they must work within each week. When I couldn’t portray exactly what I wanted to with words regarding their singing, I started making a playlist on Spotify that went with the fic. I’m very happy with how it turned out and I had fun paralleling canon stuff from the anime as I wrote.

About:

I’ve been writing for a really long time, in some shape or form, but it was always either RP involving established characters or my own original work. The Mythological fantasy universe that Of Selves and Souls is set in has been my baby since I was in my late teens (which was… quite a while ago, lol). I hadn’t been really inspired to write or get back to my art for about 10 years, with a few bursts of creativity here and there, until YOI somehow rebooted all that for me.

My writing style doesn’t follow any specific ‘genres’ per se; my writing is more like a fantasy-writer’s format where things build up and plot elements are revealed slowly. I only in my most recent writing have started to experiment with writing explicit scenes, but I prefer to use them sparingly. I stay away from extreme angst and death in my stories; if there is death it’s usually minor OCs that are in the background or something that happened in the past (see OSAS). Overall I’m still finding my way in fanfic and my style is different than a lot of the fanfiction work I’ve read (or at least I feel like it is). I’m hoping to do sequels to both Stage and OSAS, and will add things I’ve learned about the YOI fanfic genre from reading others’ works along the way to my own style, while hopefully still staying “me”. :)

Work: Beautiful Things  Yuuri and Viktor practice their exhibition routine. Yuuri can’t tell when it started, but the longing he feels is so strong it seems like his heart is about to explode.

About: 

I’m brand new to YOI fandom, but I’ve been writing fanfic since 2002. I’m a philosophy nut and love to explore theory and the deepest questions we have about why we are here and why we are together through my fics. Oh, and I also draw ^^

Some examples of the writer’s works: Entwining Fates, I am Yuri Plisetsky, Zanka

Review/critique/say about the writer:

Rinsled05 is such a versatile writer! Fluff, angst, smut, one-shots, comedy, multichapter fics, character studies, AUs, they do it all with superb and evocative characterization and description! To read their fic is to immerse yourself in their world. 

Honestly I’d recommend every single story but then I’d be filling up the screen (they wrote “You Only Live Once” which was previously featured on this blog, too, and which I also enthusiastically recommend ;) ) I chose “Entwining Fates” (Hogwarts AU) because it was what initially drew me into their work, with their worldbuilding with Mahoutokoro and Yuuri’s traumatic backstory; “I am Yuri Plisetsky” because it’s a shorter piece that imho really encapsulates Yuri’s emotions regarding how he wants himself and his skating to be perceived, and does it all in Yuri’s POV and voice that is just perfect; and"Zanka,“ their newest WIP about the "floating world” of courtesans and prostitutes in Yoshiwara during the Edo period that is just gorgeous. Heavily researched, and you can tell the care they take with their writing and all the characters. Can I quote some lines?

“The courtesan’s white teeth clacked against the pipe in a razor-sharp smile, keen as a shark on the prowl.”

“The room was large and decadent, filled with gold screens of delicately painted landscapes, polished chests lacquered with gold leaves, and the painting of a rising dragon across the length of a wall. Right in the center, beside white bedding and a tray of drinks, sat Aoyagi, resting on his heels and looking for all the world like a living, breathing doll. Gone was the white powder, but his eyes were still painted at the corners, his lips still a crimson red. His outer robes had changed into an exuberant yellow, a pattern of waves and goldfishes trailing round and round the bright material. The sash was black tonight, folded neatly and hanging over his lap.”

Just - just go and read everything they’ve ever written, is all I’m gonna say *flails*

Some examples of the writer’s works: Masquerade, Money Shot, Accidental Crush

Review/critique/say about the writer:

Masquerade was the second fanfic I read in the fandom, and oh my god it’s such an amazing story!!! There’s just something about her writing that I really like, the way she hits you right in the feels with the angst (I may or may not have teared up a few times reading Masquerade), but then balances it out with just the right amount of fluff, and I also really like the characterization in her stories as well :) and oh lord, the smut….. it’s written in such a way that it is deliciously sexy and hot, yet you can also feel the emotions between the characters and oh god I really can’t explain it, just check out her writing!!!
