Read on Ao3

“What is there even left to toast?” Yuri said.

“I think there’s a few individual pigeons in Washington Square Park we haven’t toasted,” said Katsuki.

“To pigeons, then!” Viktor cheered immediately. His mouth went slack as his eyes darted around the room. His face turned sharp again as he lifted his glass. “May we all be confident - like you - that we are doves in disguise.”

OR

It’s Yuri’s birthday, so it’s time for drinking, dancing, hanky-panky, and just a twist of existential dread, because what’s a birthday without it?

Ghost with the Hammer in His Hand - Ch. 14: Jefferson Street

"Waiting for dough to shape, Yuri checked the flour bins and went downstairs to get another bag. He punched into one of the bags as he reached the shelves. Once, solidly, feeling the vibration carry up the bones in his arm. He followed that one with a flurry of punches that he pushed out as quickly as he could until he could feel his form totally break down around them, slumping forward over the bag." 

OR 

Yuri's feet have a mind of their own.

Chapter 13 - The Storeroom

Otabek stepped up to the table and delicately lifted one of the measures of dough Yuri had set out there. The deep-hued, sweet-smelling dough oozed heavily over his fingers as he held it up in both hands. He’d seen this before. Yuri weighed the dough out, and Nikolai shaped it. They moved through the dough so quickly that it was difficult to register what their hands were doing.

“I don’t- can you show me?” Otabek asked apologetically, wishing he could just make his hands work the dough correctly.

OR

Otabek contemplates bread dough. And maybe some other stuff.

Chapter 12: Beth Israel

“Hospitals are strange places, filled with people who are caught waiting in the spaces in between. This is doubly true in the middle of the night, when things move with little disruption to the quiet, orderly hum of routine. Any disturbance, however small - the hard-soled click of footsteps through the halls, the shrill ring of the telephone at the desk - might push the balance of the situation. Filtered through the overlapping hunger and fear for what comes next, it’s near impossible to tell which direction it’s pushing.”

OR

I'm sorry. Hold me.

Chapter 11: Bye Bye Blackbird

“Katsuki’s kitchen was a place of easy silences when it was just the two of them, not unlike the early morning kitchen at the bakery with Zeyde. Often, Otabek was tucked in beside him as well, preparing another ingredient to Katsuki’s specifications, while Viktor swooped in and out as he messed with the radio or the big Victrola, grabbing Katsuki and dancing in the tiny, tight circles the kitchen could fit, especially with the others in there as well.”

OR

Yuri tries to get the hell out of midtown and into Katsuki's kitchen.
