[Yuri!! On Ice]
1. For the Record by DasWarSchonKaputt
FOR THE RECORD
by Viktor Nikiforov
What it takes to craft an Olympic Champion, and what it takes to be one.
Or: Viktor Nikiforov, sports journalist and retired figure skater, interviews Olympic Champion Yuuri Katsuki for an exclusive piece.
2. Bear Your Soul On The Ice by SassySalchow
At age fourteen, Katsuki Yuuri had been determined to be Japan's next great figure skating hope, but with no coach that would never happen, so his ballet instructor packs him up off to Russia to train with Yakov Feltsman. The Yakov Feltsman, otherwise known as the coach to rising figure skating star -- and Yuuri's idol -- Viktor Nikiforov.
From the rinks of Yubileyny Sports Palace in St Petersburg to the bustling city of Osaka and quieter Michigan suburbs, Yuuri chases his dream of skating against his idol and improbable best friend, getting tripped up along the way because growing up is never easy and it's even harder as an elite athlete with the eyes of a nation watching. But it'll all be fine as long as Yuuri doesn't do something stupid like fall in love with Viktor. Right? Right.
3. When The World Stops... by Miled
Summary:
When an injury sidelines Viktor from competing as a skater, Yakov encourages him to take up coaching even if he kind of sucks at it.
On the other hand, Yuuri is absolutely devastated that he can no longer strive to compete with his inspiration. Instead of giving it up, he dedicates one last season to honoring Viktor's career...but then Viktor takes notice.
4. Yuuri Katsuki Secret Route Walkthrough/FAQ by Metis_Ink
Summary:
The otome community uncovers the mysteries of the Nikiforov-Katsuki Route, one of the most difficult and overly-complicated routes in a game supposedly just about ice skating.
mysticdabber
okay so I've literally conquered every other route on this damn game but yuuri keeps flat out rejecting me?? I've hit like 7 different Friend routes 50 times?? What does he want?? How high are his standards?? I'VE DONE EVERYTHING FOR YOU YUURI ALL I WANT IS YOUR HEART
5. it's the side effects that save us by renaissance
Summary:
After a sudden personal tragedy and a narrow defeat at the Grand Prix Final, Viktor is ready to throw it all away—until he sees a video of the skater who beat him performing the free skate he couldn't.
Or; plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose...
6. Wondrous Strange Snow by Comfect
Summary:
Someone else decides to fly to Hasetsu once they see the video of Yuuri performing Stammi Vicino.
Things go a little differently.
Yakov Feltsman never knew what hit him.
[Jujutsu Kaisen]
7. Amongst Earthly Inconsistency by Cogni_Diss
Summary:
It was not uncommon for cursed spirits to manifest within or near school grounds. It was expected, and often monitored, which made the appearance of this ‘Yuji-sama’ all the more intriguing, if only for the fact that it appears to be a rather recent phenomenon. Any older, and such a name would have fallen into urban legend or spread further amongst the alumni and out to the public. Jujutsu Tech should have also picked up on this by now, and perhaps they already have.
Suguru stumbles across a rumor of a benevolent cursed spirit accepting offerings in exchange for favors and minor miracles. What he expects to find is nothing more than another curse to add to his growing collection. What the man finds, however, dares to shake his fundamental understanding of the world he resides in.
[Purple Hyacinth]
8. Forgive Me, I Was Blind by Ex_Nihilo
Yet ironically, for the past ten years, he had been the blindest of all...
Officer Kieran White was blessed (or, as he’d argue, cursed) with the ability to detect lies. Living by the day and blaming only himself for the past, he grasps for the answers he so desires to put his past to rest. Not that he really deserves that solace.
Enter Lauren, better known as the Purple Hyacinth. An assassin bent on taking down all that she kills in the name of, but what for?
Expect some familiar events. Expect some new ones. (And maybe there will be a bit of cheesecake.)
Sometimes, two flowers will grow as one, will intertwine- no matter which the sun opts to fall upon.
Sometimes, there's an enticing cold to be found within the sunlight.
And, sometimes, there's a comfort that lies within the darkness, too.
[ORV]
7. A Study in Geometric Shapes by threecrossings
Summary:
"Let's start over," he said suddenly. "I'm Kim Dokja. You are?"
"Yoo Joonghyuk."
"Long time no see, Joonghyuk-ssi. How many years has it been? 17? It's good to see you didn't grow up ugly."
9. “You are loved,” said Yoo Jonghyuk. “This is a threat,” said Yoo Jonghyuk. by IceBreeze
Summary:
Kim Dokja doesn't really know when he began collecting time travellers like stray cats but it's not so bad, he guesses. He just wishes there was less crying.
tagging people i'd like to hear talk about their favorite AUs here (no pressure!)
