Summary
After realizing they’d spoken at the same time, they laughed, nervously.
“Playing this character, I guess it’s making me bolder than I’d normally be,” Yuuri croaked, and Viktor’s heart began to ache at what had been left unspoken: ‘bolder, like I wish I could be’.
The sudden vulnerability had him feeling off-kilter and just like before, his mouth got ahead of itself, asking questions that Viktor would only realize, later, he’d always been a bit too scared to allow himself to think about.
“Would it be so bad, if I wanted “Lee” to do that?” Viktor asked, deliberately using Yuuri’s alias. “To treat me like a slut and…and to degrade me?”
Viktor whispered the final two words like they were forbidden, hoping his husband could hear the questions he hadn’t yet articulated: “Is it ok for me to want this?” “Would it change the way you look at me?”

After winning a bet with Yuuri (one that tests their roleplaying ability as strangers ‘Lee’ and ‘Pantalaimon’), Viktor earns the right to demand anything, no matter how NSFW, for his “prize”. They discover new kinks as well as the interesting way being 'strangers' affects their ability to get vulnerable -

Summary
“I’m a public figure, Yuuri. It comes with the territory,” Viktor replied, in a blithe sort of way that set Yuuri’s teeth on edge.
All of a sudden, he remembered the comment Viktor had made to him and Yuri when he’d first assigned them the Agape and Eros choreography: I’m surprised you think you can choose your own image.
At the time, Yuuri hadn’t internalized what Viktor had said, too annoyed by the subsequent comment that he was merely a piglet in the audience’s eyes. But now, the unfairness of it struck him, anew.
How was Yuuri supposed to reconcile that attitude with the Viktor that had bounced around Minako’s karaoke stage, wearing a dorky, heart-shaped smile while serenading him?
There had been nothing suave about the performance Yuuri had seen tonight, and yet he had felt as fierce a love for that Viktor as he felt for the Viktor he’d seen win multiple World Championship titles.
Maybe even more love, actually.

Posted by u/HoldingSpace777 • 4 hours ago
I get such secondhand embarrassment sometimes by the things I read in this subreddit. Most notably: the use of the word “botched” when it comes to Yuuri and Sochi. I think I may be driven to commit homicide if I see yet another person talk about last night’s livestream “scandal” with some throwaway comment like “oh, no wonder Yuuri got trashed at the banquet, he’d just completely botched his chance to impress Viktor”. Listen here, you shriveled rutabagas!!! YUURI DIDN’T ‘BOTCH’ ANYTHING, NOT THEN AND NOT EVER!!
I’m sorry to have to bring root vegetables into this, but have these people just been ignoring all of Viktor’s interviews these last 3 years?!

Amidst a social media shitstorm, Viktor and Yurio help Yuuri come to terms with the aftermath of the prior night’s drunken livestreamSeries

Summary
“Every time you point out a building you think you can recognize, it makes me feel like I’m seeing my hometown through new eyes,” Yuuri said, sounding shy. “The city’s been offering hot air balloon rides since well before I was born, and I guess I took it for granted as something only brand new tourists would get anything out of. But now that we’re up here and I can see how excited you are by it all even after being here for a few months…it feels like a reminder to appreciate what’s in front of me.”
A loaded silence stretched out between them and Viktor could only blink a few times in astonishment as he tried his best to catalogue what such heartfelt words brought up for him.
In the moment, he was stunned at how relieved the admission made him feel; he knew, instinctively, that Yuuri had been enjoying himself during this outing, but even so, it soothed a deep-seated ache within him that wondered if his “oohing” and “aahing” over every little thing he could see was getting annoying.

Summary
Just when he was sure that Yuuri would beg for her to say something, Mari looked up and voiced a sentence that made Viktor’s eyes sting and his chest ache.
“You should let me pierce your ears. I’m pretty much an expert at it by now.”
And…oh.
Crying was still a new enough thing for Viktor that he often didn’t even realize it was happening, but this was not one of those times; tears of joy and overwhelm and sheer relief dripped steadily down his cheeks, and he grounded himself in the sensation.
Before he could even think about wiping them away, Yuuri whipped out his favorite Makka-printed handkerchief, put it into Viktor’s hand and mechanically brought his arm up to his face.
You should let me pierce your ears.
It was a seven word reaction that was so completely Mari: a suggestion offered in the measured, almost subdued sort of tone that someone else might have taken for disinterest.

Post-canon, and set primarily during the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games (but also containing sub-plots taking place in the prior years) this series follows Yuuri, Viktor, and Yurio as they navigate the 2022 Games, which marks Yuuri’s final competition prior to retirement.
Given certain events that took place during the 2018 Games — that rocked the figure skating world and had widespread implications for the sport — competing in Beijing presents very unique challenges.

Bookmarker's Notes
Moving and really well-written. Perfectly captures the uncertainty that would follow them after Barcelona. Loved Viktor’s POV in particular especially:
He shouldn’t hold it against him. Yuuri can’t help it, with his decade-long span of continuous self-deprecation. He’s delicate, his heart is delicate, his feelings are delicate. It’s always about Yuuri’s feelings, Yuuri’s feelings, Yuuri’s feelings…
What about Victor’s own feelings?
The mug shatters against the tiled floor. He bends over to pick up the pieces; he can’t let Yuuri see…
Yuuri can’t help it.
Well, that ugly part of him hisses, neither can I.

Yuuri Katsuki’s Guide to (Barely) Surviving Popularity by cuttlemefish

Summary
Yuuri Katsuki just started his last year of High School in a small town in the heartland of the United States. While he expects to be shunned for his newcomer status, Yuuri finds himself ensconced in a whirlwind of rumors and adulation that instantly elevate his social status into near celebrity—and forces him to cross paths with his school’s many different cliques. Yuuri seems to be living his own personal teen romcom, right down to a secret admirer with a litter of artsy love notes and a newspaper editor desperate to interview him to improve paper sales. However, Yuuri quickly discovers that his sole romantic interest is a complex set of contradictions. Having returned to school after a long break to address his mental health, Viktor is struggling with his competing interest to reclaim his former self (even as he accepts his new reality) and shun his former glory as High School royalty. But in a place where cliques provide not just identity, but entertainment, Yuuri finds that—even if he can rise above all ranks to reach ultimate legend status—none of it might get him any closer to Viktor. Or, the confident Yuuri and pretty, soft Vitya with the long hair and designer sweaters High School AU.

This was not how he wanted to do things. There were supposed to be flowers, champagne, and something other than Chinese takeout. Something mature and adult that said, hey, I’d possibly maybe be an okay(ish) co-parent, see?

Summary
"Long before skating, or even ballet, Yuuri would hear about it at festivals, in the boiling humidity of Hasetsu summers dancing the Bon Odori in the streets. He remembered years where Mari would take him home alone, while their parents comforted lingering, distraught dancers. Sometimes, Mari had explained, they were crying because they’d seen lost loved ones. Some cried because they didn’t see who they’d hoped, but a stranger. And some cried because they hadn’t seen anyone at all.
Because it’s not just the steps. The dancers need, even for a second, to feel the exact same thing."
(Or: days before Hot Springs on Ice, Yuuri receives a visitor from another time.)

"If you forget everything else", Yuuri says into his skin, "remember that you are the Victor who loves me."
"When you can find in yourself to be nothing else, remind yourself that you are mine. When you are too tired to be anything, remember that you are Yuuri's Victor, and you'll always be."

Bookmarker's Notes
Incredibly tender and romantic, and for anyone who struggles with depression, this will feel like a warm hug 😭 One of my favorite passages:
On those days, Yuuri reminds him. Reshapes his words to the varied melodies of his love, playing upon their strings in cupid's notes, and he reminds Victor of who he is when the superficiality of his gold has melted into the horizon and the ice has been thawed by its rays.
