    Summary

    Everyone had heard the tales of the Prince of Winter and his frozen heart, cursed over three hundred years ago by his father's wife, a punishment for the elder god's infidelity. Ever since, the kingdoms surrounding the glade of immortals had been cast into a cold, eternal winter.

    and every child knew that every year, a new bride was sent to the castle at the top of the mountain, crossing over into the realm of the ancients in order to try their hand at thawing the heart of ice and snow.

    and every human who set foot in the glade knew it was a death sentence, for none had survived past a year in the castle, their own hearts devoured by its cruel master.

    Yuuri Katsuki knew all this as he stood at the edge of the mortal realm, and yet he still hoped that perhaps he would be the one to break the curse...

    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

    NOTE: This work is officially discontinued as of 11/19/2022. Unfortunately, my notes on this project have been lost to time and I have been unable to recover them. I will be leaving this fic up for anyone to read, but be forewarned that it is about 20% of what I had originally envisioned it to be and I will not be revising or adding onto it. See notes for more detail.

    Like all good romance, it starts in the speakeasy.

    The mob boss's protégé, Victor Nikiforov runs an illegal juice joint and lives to forget. He runs through Chicago, chased by the French battlefields he once bled in, drinking until the sun rises and getting lost in jazz numbers. Engaging in an ill-fated romance with Yuuri Katsuki, a rival gang member and press informant, is just one of many bad decisions on his part. Falling in love means splitting their priorities, caught between protecting the ones they love and escaping their pasts.

    Rival gangs move closer to the boiling point of a new urban war. The Roaring Twenties open their black maw and threaten to swallow both of them whole—the antebellum is just the beginning.

    A storm is brewing in Chicago tonight.
