Summary
The Lans agree to take in the Dafan Wen after Wei Wuxian rescues them from Qiongli Path. Their only condition: that Wei Wuxian lets himself be purified of resentful energy. Lan Wangji thinks this is how he will finally get his Wei Ying back, free from demonic influences. Wei Wuxian thinks this is a fancy way of saying "execution."

Summary
"I do not wish to leave my future spouse… dissatisfied with my intimate knowledge,” Lan Zhan says, very seriously. “I am hoping to find an instructor, to better prepare myself for such matters."
Wei Ying feels his mouth drop open. He's pretty sure the Second Jade of Lan just told him he's a virgin who wants to learn how to do sex good.
Rogue Cultivator Wei Wuxian is the stuff of local legends. Some of those legends are even true! The ones about his tremendous experience in bed, on the other hand, are not so true. Which becomes a problem when Lan Wangji, on the verge of an arranged marriage and worried he won’t know how to please his future spouse, enlists Wei Ying's help to teach him the art of love-making. Wei Ying's great at improvisation, though, and is pretty sure he's got this sex mentor thing under control. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Jimin has been betrayed and sold out enough times to know better than to trust pretty words. He’s got his list of names, got his goal and that’s all this is about.
But these pretty words.
From this pretty man.
Would it be so terrible to let himself believe?

Summary
Remember, all the government posters say, it was the Marked that destroyed the world.
The Old World was lost to famine and calamity and a new, harsher one has risen in its place. A city divided into sectors, ruled by a king and his chaebol court, where the Marked struggle to eke out a living in poverty and oppression, and one mistake can get you sanctioned forever - lost to hard labor in the factories and greenhouses or to life as a companion trapped in the gilded apartments of the inner sector elite.
But a revolution is stirring in the shadows and everything is about to change.
(Or: Hoseok runs an underground radio program; Namjoon and Seokjin dream of building a better world from their golden cage; Taehyung and Jimin desperately search for lost family; and Yoongi and Jungkook are just trying to survive.)

Summary
Victor learns Japanese while in Hasetsu. He doesn't tell Yuuri, and things get dicey when he overhears Yuuri and Mari talking about him in Japanese. Repeatedly.
(The subtitle of this fic should be: Victor Nikiforov really needs a hug. Luckily, he gets one. Eventually.)
~~~
“No,” Victor says, skating up to Yuuri on the ice, “you have to push all the way from here, or you’ll never get the height you need for that axel.” He sets his hand on Yuuri’s ass, tracing the muscle group he’s referring to. “Not here.” He taps Yuuri’s thigh. He doesn’t know the words for the muscles in English, only knows how to show him.
Yes, technically he’s grabbing Yuuri’s ass, but how else is he to communicate?

Summary
Yuuri wakes up in Victor’s room the night after the Sochi Grand Prix Final banquet. Did they sleep together? No. Instead, last night, Drunk Yuuri taunted Victor that he hadn’t earned the right to get in his pants…and spelled out exactly what Victor would have to do to get there.
Now, Victor intends to do everything on that list…
~
“The conversation,” Victor says, “went something like this. You said I wasn’t getting in your pants that easily.”
Victor says this in a normal tone of voice. Anyone could hear him. Yuuri looks around, but if anyone is paying attention, they’re pretending not to.
“Naturally, I asked what I would have to do to get in your pants.”
“Ah.” Yuuri blushes. “How embarrassing. What do you mean, naturally? Why would you ask that?”
Victor tilts his head. “Because I want to get in your pants. I thought that much was obvious by now.”
~
Note: Yuuri is not in a great headspace post Sochi Grand Final, and this fic necesssarily touches on mental health issues so please check the tags.

Summary
Everyone has a guilty pleasure.
For Yuuri, it just happens to be romance movies starring famous heartthrob Victor Nikiforov.
(And, honestly, on the spectrum of guilty pleasures, he figures that his is on the far, far more innocent side.)

Tags
Summary
Every Victor Nikiforov fan has three things in common.
1. They have unrealistic expectations for romance.
2. They mark their calendars with the dates of his newest book releases and the premieres of his latest movie adaptations.
3. They either passionately hate or love his greatest rival, a mysterious author whose pseudonym is only two letters: “KY.”

The Secrets of a Successful Rivalry by Mayonaka_no_Tenshi
Fandoms: Yuri!!! on Ice (Anime)
06 Jun 2019
Tags
Summary
They are two of the most prominent leading men in the world. Any movie starring one of them is practically guaranteed to be box office gold. Time and again their movies go head to head battling it out among critics and fans.
Victor Nikiforov is everybody’s heartbreaker with a smile and charm that can melt the hardest heart. Yuuri Katsuki is quiet and mysterious, a surprising mix of sweet and strong that has people falling all over themselves. And everyone knows the rivalry between them is legendary.
For years, their names have been pitted against each other, each fighting to come out on top whether it be at the box office, or the latest top-ten list of which celeb is most awesome for “whatever reason we could think up this week”.
Their managers have kept them apart for years, never allowing them to actually meet, but now a studio wants to cash in on both of their success by putting them in a movie together playing rivals and using that rivalry offscreen to promote the movie as well.
Everyone knows they hate each other and are eager to see the sparks fly, but no one knows what's really going on behind the scenes.

Summary
When you've built up an image for yourself crafted by the media, it might surprise everyone, including yourself, who you really are when you look past the smoke and mirrors.
It takes a Yuri to make him brave, and a Yuuri to show him there's more to life than skating.

Summary
Viktor and Yuuri can be in love all they want. Honestly, Yuri doesn’t give a fuck, so long as their romantic bullshit doesn’t interfere with his life. But… for some reason, it’s like Yuri can’t enter a room without being utterly smacked in the face with their cheesy adoration for one another.
Sharing a rink and a city with them is a nightmare -- plain and simple.(In other words, five times that Yuri Plisetsky walks in on Yuuri and Viktor being grossly affectionate... and one time that he doesn’t. Takes place in St. Petersburg, post episode 12).
