Thanks to @witchsbane for ruining it for me <3 (you are the best). Art belongs to @lamenart (you also are the best)
PERMISSION GRANTED BY THE ARTIS TO REPOST
“You’re a mystery,” Viktor said, stepping closer and insinuating himself firmly within the circle of Yuuri’s personal space. He backed up, until his spine was flush to the door. One of Viktor’s arms rose up to bracket him against it, and said man leaned forward to close the gap between their faces, leaving them just a breath apart. “The more I see, the more I find myself wanting to know everything about you. I want to figure you out, Yuuri.”
Yuuri shivered, wanting to melt through the door, desperate to get away from Viktor by any means necessary. The other man knew too well what effect he had on Yuuri, used it to his advantage by pressing in close. But the wood remained stubbornly solid. “Nothing to know,” he said, voice wavering into thin air at the end. “In six months, I’ll be free. You won’t see me again.”
“So that’s it?” Viktor asked, the end of his question coming out clipped. “You still won’t consider my offer? What does Minami offer that I do not?”
There was no answer Yuuri could give without betraying himself, his family, entirely. If he told Viktor—about the kumicho, the debt he had to pay, the reason he agreed to this suicide-trap of a mission—what would it really do but exchange one leash for another? At least he understood the kumicho, knew that he traded in power and wealth and fear, despised him for it. But for all Viktor said he was the mystery, Yuuri was only just beginning to understand what drove Viktor and what he was fighting for. Everything else about the man remained elusive, like trying to trap smoke between his fingers.
Better the devil you know, Yuuri had always heard. It was difficult to convince himself of that, caged as he was between Viktor’s body and the door. The offer on the table sounded too good to be true. Mila’s words came flooding back to him; Viktor takes care of his own, she’d said, and he wanted to believe her. Would it be so bad to be owned by someone like him?
The thought was as repulsive as it was seductive.
@witchsbane OKAY STORYTIME so I was browsing thru the enemies to lovers tag on ao3, and then I came across “kintsugi”, which I’ve heard about a couple times already. now, I was also thirsty for a mafia fic, so I thought “well, I guess i’ll give it a read?”, and because I am a Fool who doesn’t know what moderation is, I binged the entire thing and slept at 6:30 am :))) this is a REALLY WELL RESEARCHED MAFIA FIC, ACTION PACKED, VERY TENSE, ALSO BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN AND VERY H O T god the sexual tension is killing me ;_; witchsbane you’re going to kill me and I welcome death with open arms :D I also love talking to you even though are conversation topics are…..questionable……BUT!!!! I always laugh really hard so it’s fine!!!
also the worst thing I’ve ever created is under the cut, be warned it is,,,,,,really the worst thing I’ve ever created
[x] Based on @witchsbane ‘s Kintsugi (which owns my ass right now stg)
So, Kintsugi by @witchsbane is such an amazing fic that I had to put together a playlist for it.
1. Strangeness and Charm - Florence + the Machine
So, pretty much anything F+tM on this playlist is Yuuri’s moodboard. But this is more about his pull to Viktor.
2. Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) - Florence + the Machine
I think of it as the themesong for Yuuri’s journey to survive being thrown into this bullshit ass life.
3. I Am In Love With You - Imogen Heap
This definitely vibes Yuuri and Viktor’s first interaction, even through the chaotic shoot out imo.
4. Monsters - Ruelle
Honestly, this is all Viktor. Like, predatory and dangerously fun.
5. Save Tonight - Zayde Wolf
Mostly instrumental, but totally encompasses the suspense of how on edge Yuuri is throughout this narrative. The secrets that could kill him in an instant, and the freedom that is close enough to taste.
6. Breath of Life - (surprise) Florence + the Machine
Suspended in chaos, searching desperately for something to hold on to; to hope for.
7. Heavy In Your Arms - (no really you can roll your eyes) Florence + the Machine
The burden of this love may just drown Yuuri and Viktor in its secrets.
8. Everybody Wants To Rule The World (no the more dramatic version) - Lorde
Everyone else is playing to win, but Yuuri just wants to get out alive.
9. Arsonist’s Lullabye - Hozier
Oddly enough, this is all Sara. Sure, her life was arguably ruined by fire. But it forged an iron will, tempered steel strength, and a fireocity that couldn’t be quelled (sorry for the pun but not really).
10. Bones - MS MR
Maybe the Crispino tragedy didn’t need two songs, but it got them.
11. Fight ‘Til The End - Jack Savoretti
Now, I know this has such a different feel, but honestly, I can see this becoming a bit more relevant later. Like, this is where I kind of see their convoluted relationship going.
12. Battle Cry - Imagine Dragons
I mean, if one of them doesn’t die (“die”) or come close after shit hits the fan, then is it really a mafia romance?
13. Thousand Eyes - Of Monsters and Men
This playlist should really just be called The Lament Of Yuuri Katsuki. Or maybe, Being An Assassin (Is Hell On My Anxiety).
14. Seven Devils - Florence + the Machine (surprise, bitch. I bet you thought you’d seen the last of me..)
Well, I know it’s my fault and all, but I kinda have to eradicate your entire family???? Like, sorry fam. Truly, I regret this bloodbath and my shitty life has come full circle.
15. Iron - Woodkid
It’s just so much easier not to feel when your entire existence is to spill the blood of others.
16. Pistols At Dawn - Seinabo Sey
Seriously, this rec is just so perfect for these two morons.
17. Haunted - Maty Noyes
Because let’s be real. Viktor wants Yuuri’s viciousness, wants to see his purest form of instinct. And it haunts him because he’ll give it whether he wants to or not.
18. What Kind Of Man - Florence + the Machine (if you’re still reading this, thank you for putting up with my obsession with Florence Welch’s raw presence)
More or less, Yuuri is hella confused about how Viktor inspires so much loyalty and (not love why what never who fUCKIN said it).
19. Not Afraid Anymore - Halsey
After things come to a tipping point between these two dweebs.
20. Alive - Sia
Yuuri is a survivor. He’s not gon give up. He’s gonna make it. FUCK YOU KUMICHO WITCHA B-
21. Poison - Vaults
Viktor wants under Yuuri’s skin (not in the wear it kind of way) (…??????????!).
22. No Light, No Light - Florence + the Machine ( fight me I deserve it)
Another potential future.
23. What The Water Gave Me - Florence + (I shit you not) the Machine
Okay, NO SO HEAR ME OUT BC IT’S RELEVANT—– WHAT PART OF THE LAMENT OF YUURI KATSUKI IS NOT CLEAR IN THE SYMBOLISM
AHEM. So, clearly it’s a difficult thing not to be broken by exchanging your soul for your family’s well-being.
24. Wicked Ones - Dorothy
I know dealing with that pig Hisashi was traumatic for Yuuri, but this totally vibes the rest of the mission (mostly Yuuri kicking ass and that rad GTA stint).
There was a picture of him in the first dossier Yuuri ever got. It was a grainy thing, printed from some low quality CCTV footage and tucked into the files like someone’s afterthought. He was sixteen then, and long haired and slim, and he swam in the folds of a fur coat that probably cost more than Yuuri was worth. He should have looked ridiculous like that—this child playing at being an adult—but there was an undeniable presence about him, even in stillness.
~ Kintsugi, Chapter 2 by @witchsbane
A scene I’ve always wanted to draw since the first time I read that chapter!
P.S. okay, okay. I know that’s not the correct angle for a CCTV footage and Victor’s head was supposed to be turned fully but I was sleepy and didn’t feel like going through one hundred CCTV footages to get the angle right. *hides*
P.P.S. Yup, I was trying to steal Illyasviel’s wardrobe for Victor, but obviously I needed to change it a bit because Victor can’t be wearing a dress.
kintsugi owns my entire ass
Let Yuuri Go Home
Inspired by the awesome @witchsbane‘s YOI fanfic, Kintsugi and this post.
I wish I can say “Just a random doodle I made” like the hoards of talented artists here but *breaks out in cold sweat* this took me like, 5 hours to draw and it’s 2.30am here now and I need to get up at 5.30am and I know I won’t have time to refine this in the near future (thank you very much, uni & assignement deadlines) so here’s me posting my half-assed work because I love Kintsugi so much and Yuuri deserves to go home T_T
*comes in 2 weeks late with starbucks* anyways kintsugi amirite guys @witchsbane
