The first piece is a collaboration piece I did with @incandescentantelope Read the story here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20694788

The second piece is a little bit of Reverse!AU with Viktor missing Yuuri (think like episode 8/9).

Huge thank you to the mods and everyone who bought the zine! We were able to raise over $1000 for Futures Without Violence! Wow! Amazing!

Shibari zine preview

Here’s my preview for @yoishibarizine. It’s Chris’s birthday and there’s a surprise coming up! (Lol) This bit’s not the dirty part so I’m fine with showing it here. Be sure to order it when it goes on sale later this month!

This was the first time that he was wrapped in gold. All around his body, tied in a very intricate design and criss-crossing all over his chest, thighs, and arms was gold rope. He was expecting the binding to cut into his flesh and hurt him but it didn’t. This was unique. Yuuri had called it ‘shibari’ and it was something that Chris had never been used to before. However, he was willing to give it a try. When he was asked about it, he thought it would be something fun to try. Fucking and being tied would be a fun experience.

“I’m here for it, pain or no pain.” He had agreed. “Take turns. I’m good with it all.”

“Are you positive? This is the last chance to back out.”

“Positive. I’m looking forward to what you have to show me and do to me.” 

The nerves slowly started to evaporate at that point. Fun was just beginning and he wanted this. He wanted to see where this would go. That was what he said in the beginning. Now he was just waiting for the fun to start. He wanted to envision what it would be like. They had told him if he wanted to back out, this was his last chance but no. He wanted to go all the way.

“So if someone calls and asks for me, should I just tell them I’m ‘all tied up’?” He joked. “You know I’m not going to be able to answer them.”

“I doubt anyone is going to call now. It’s well past midnight so they’re probably asleep or too busy.” He heard Yuuri say. “Are you all right? I didn’t tie you up too tightly, did I?”

Chris chuckled at this. Typical. Of all of them, Yuuri would be the most concerned that he might have overdone something. “You have asked me that three times so far. If I was in pain, I would have let you know a long time ago. You don’t need to be so nervous.”

“I know that! It’s just...I’m usually not the one doing this. I want it to be right.”

“Oh, it’s fine. You’ve been doing everything right since this all started. I’m still waiting for my main present, you know. There are a few hours left of my birthday.”

Birthday. It felt so strange because his birthday usually felt like any other day. He would get gifts from his closest friends and they would come visit him if they could. They would talk or go out to eat and hang around for a few hours. He didn’t mind that because it was nice that people cared enough to celebrate with him. However, every year, it felt like the same old thing. There was nothing crazy or exciting that happened on his birthday. As he got older, it seemed to feel less like a celebration and more like an ordinary day.

That had all changed this year though. He had woken up expecting the same old things; friends and family would call to wish him well. He’d get some presents and people stopping by to celebrate with him. There might have been a tiny party but it would nothing that he hadn’t dealt with before. It wasn’t until Victor had called him and said that he had a big surprise for him. That left Chris a little skeptical.

“I never like it when you have surprises.” He told him when he saw that Victor had a blindfold. That blindfold could either lead to something good or a complete disaster. “Can you give me a hint at least?”

“You will like the surprise.” Victor said.

“That’s not a hint.”

“I’m afraid that’s all I can say. Don’t you trust me?”

“Do you really want an answer to that?”

Victor isn’t sure he’s ever seen something so beautiful.

True his birthday so far had been amazing, from the shower of kisses he’d received in the morning, to the cake being hand fed to him while he opened his gifts, to the dinner both he and Yuuri had enjoyed with friends and rinkmates... but this, this is what he’d been looking forward to all day.

Their bedroom is softly dimmed, the only light glowing from the small collection of candles shifting gentle and golden across the walls giving the whole space a warmly intimate atmosphere. While Victor has to admit that it’s a lovely setting, it’s not what he’s most enthralled by.

As with most instances in his life now, that honour firmly belongs to Yuuri.

Bathed in the flickering lights around them, he kneels comfortably across their duvet, the sweetest smile painted across his lips. His hair is a mess, his glasses removed and he’s completely nude save for the intricate spiders web of soft, red ropes tied in a tight geometric pattern across his flushed skin.

Victor grins as he reaches over to slowly run a finger across a length of rope sitting tightly across Yuuri’s stomach.

Happy birthday to me.

He’d been more than a little surprised when he’d opened his final birthday present from Yuuri, a series of long crimson ropes neatly wrapped in a small box. He’s sure that his cheeks had matched the colour of his gift when he’d flicked his eyes back up to Yuuri, the other man’s gaze already burning with a fiery tease. They were something he’d mentioned off-hand months ago after one of their more adventurous browsing sessions online, something about the intricacy of the ropes sparking an interest in him that never quite went away.

And now they both have the time to actually try.
