My free postcard for Yoilitmag “Shall We Read” issue 3 came in! It’s absolutely gorgeous! I kind of wish I got 2 so I could display both sides. 😣 Loving the theme of this zine. 💕
Page 1 of 5 that will be in the 2nd edition of the YOI Literature Digital Magazine which will be available for purchase Aug 18th!
The theme was Time, and my submission will be part of the NSFW appendix
Here’s a preview of my story for @yoilitmag Issue 3~! {teaser image here}
Human spaceships were too quiet.
Victor, far too used to the quarian ships that were often salvage jobs with odds and ends for parts, was used to a ship where a quiet engine meant it had probably stopped working. He wasn’t that surprised that he’d been unable to sleep in the room aboard the Yu-Topia he’d been given, drifting to the starboard observation deck in hopes the scenery and being directly above the engines might calm him down some.
So far, it wasn’t working.
Space was just so vast, stars and planets twinkling like glitter strewn across the galaxy; all of them but pinpricks that held entire worlds and civilizations upon them. It made Victor feel so small and insignificant, as if his treatment on the Citadel hadn’t done that already.
He curled in on himself a little more, clutching his knees to his chest. Maybe he should’ve just let the commander take him back home and let them deal with the geth since they were clearly more qualified.
The door slid open at that, its soft hiss like everything else on the ship- too quiet.
Victor looked up and realized it was the human commander. He looked quite different now, no longer in his armored suit, pale peach arms visible and a skin tight black shirt with the stripes of the ship’s insignia across one shoulder. Victor felt his heart skip a beat, for a human without bulky armor was probably the closest any alien came to quarian physiques; and, well, at least by quarian standards, Commander Katsuki was gorgeous.
“Oh. Sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you.”
Victor offered a smile before remembering the opacity on his helmet’s faceplate was probably too high for anyone to see in. He held up his hands instead.
“No, it’s fine! I was just thinking it was too quiet, anyways.”
Yuuri quirked an eyebrow- such a small but useful gesture these humans had!- and quietly moved to sit opposite Victor.
“Is everything all right? I know today was probably pretty stressful.”
It had indeed been rather eventful, for once Victor had given his data to the Council they’d authorized him to work with Yuuri and his crew to see if they could disable the signal controlling the geth.
“I think I’m still kind of in shock that anyone listened to me.”
The human’s expression became sympathetic at that and before Victor knew it, he’d reached over a hand to rest it upon Victor’s arm.
“I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’m always willing to listen. Whether it’s about your research or anything else.”
Victor stared at the hand, wondering if human skin was as soft to the touch as it looked; but he began to ramble before he could dwell on it any further.
“Thank you. I think it’s because of our suits. I guess it’s hard to trust someone if you can’t see their face.”
Inwardly, Victor thought even kind Yuuri probably didn’t find the envirosuit a good look, but what could they do? Quarian immune systems were far too weak to handle living anywhere but on Rannoch and the geth had driven them from there ages ago.
But Yuuri’s eyes swept from his head, with its magenta tinted helmet faceplate and ceremonial tallis hood wrapping around it, to his feet, his lower legs bowed back further than humans and leading to only two large toes. To Victor’s surprise, Yuuri gave him a shy smile.
“I’ve not seen a quarian’s suit quite like yours before. Is there a special reason for it?”
It was an honest question. Victor was well-aware most envirosuits were in shades of gray or black with colored accents; a stark contrast to his which was silver and white with only a splash of black. Then again, most quarians didn’t have Victor’s extra-sensitive immune system.
He sighed. “I need an advanced model for my health. That’s why I started my pilgrimage so late.”
“Oh. Well.” Yuuri suddenly darted his eyes away. “It’s very… princely. I think.”
This time, Victor was eternally grateful for the opacity, for he was sure that his pale lavender skin had surely blushed scarlet at his kind words.
He quickly changed the topic to the technical specs of the spaceship, hoping that thinking about that might get his heart to stop racing; but somewhere along the line, Yuuri changed the topic back to Victor and his life, for the good commander was incredibly interested in the cultures and lives of other aliens and wanted to know everything he could about Victor.
The pair were found the next morning by Phichit, both of them having fallen asleep on the observation deck, slumped into one another; and as flustered as that made Victor, he noticed that Yuuri’s cheeks were equally so, in that adorable rosy pink hue upon his pleasant peach skin.
My full piece (and some close-ups) for the 1st Issue of @yoilitmag. The theme was light and I took that… too literal. 8D; It’s a ballet AU with a Victuuri blacklight performances!

Text:
“You should ask him to dance, Leroy.”
JJ spun around, mortified. “What do you mean?”
Chris raised his eyebrows at him. “You’ve been watching him all evening. I’m sure he would dance with you if you asked.”
“I — um —“
“You guys have gotten close while he’s been in Canada, haven’t you?”
He could feel himself blushing. Why did Chris want to know this stuff? Chris and Yuri weren’t even friends. “Yeah.”
“It’s been two years since Isabella left, hasn’t it?”
JJ bit his lip and nodded. He didn’t like thinking about that low point of his life.
Chris slung his arm around JJ’s shoulders. “Have you dated anyone since then?”
“No.” He shook his head, embarrassed.
“It’s him, isn’t it?”
He let out a long sigh. “It’s been him for longer than I care to admit.”
“I thought so.” Chris gave JJ’s shoulders a squeeze.
“Do you think he knows?”
Chris laughed. “Yuri is a bit of an idiot when it comes to relationships. Look at the string of boys he’s dated. He doesn’t go after anyone who could actually make him happy.”
JJ didn’t miss the silent implication that he could make Yuri happy. His heart soared. “I want to tell him tonight.”
