I just had to give life to this blessed post by skatingviktor!

[yoi-recs]

So I have made a friend who I did not realise was very popular in her field until my other friend Googled her, and I want to be believe this could happen to Victor Nikiforov if he was ever out of his context. Let’s say Victor and Yuuri are attending a party hosted by Victor’s parents in London. They get talking to the few under 50s there about standard topics like Netflix must-sees and have you ever been travelling?

“Are you on Instagram?” A young woman asks Victor.

“Yeah, V underscore N-I-K-I-F-O-R-O-V.”

“Oh shit, you have 2 million followers! Are you like an influencer or something?”

Yuuri’s eyes widen. Victor regrets putting ‘Husband and dog lover’ as his bio. 

“Actually,” he says, “I…”

“YES,” Yuuri says. He’s on his fifth prosecco and smirking like a demon. “Yes he is.”

I loved episode 10, but I couldn’t help but feel there was a severe lack of cheesy Christmas sweaters.

ヴィクトル・ニキフォロフ生誕祭2019

[yoi-recs]

Summary:

Loving Yuuri was a choice that Viktor never regretted making. His smile, his laughter, the way his lips felt against his own—nothing could make him happier than having Yuuri in his arms.

But when the entire world has no idea that figure skating rivals Yuuri Katsuki and Viktor Nikiforov are in a relationship, Viktor can’t do anything at all when Yuuri gets into an accident and is rushed to the hospital the day after he proposes in a hotel room in Nagano.

FINAL CHAPTER IS UP!

[yoi-recs]

He is from Mars, and I’m from Hasetsu

A Thousand Times Better

AU where Viktor is from a race of near immortal aliens whose population is steadily dwindling and it is now his people’s mission to find their true love, no matter where they are and as soon as they can to ensure their race’s survival. And Yuuri happens to be Viktor’s one true love.

Cue communication issues, cultural barriers and a lot of dorks in love.

Viktor frowned at the image.

“No extra-terrestrial being looks like that. In fact, I know no species which possess the same…aesthetic.”

Yuuri scrunched his brows together as he continued to scroll down the page in an attempt to find out more about Viktor’s heritage, and of course, to further understand the stories he enthusiastically shared each time they shared a meal. 

That, and Yuuri’s curiosity wanted to find out whether these so-called human creations are just mere fairytales (as Viktor once explained to him when he asked if the Jedi Order existed).

“What about the ones in these?” Yuuri showed him some posters of Star Wars and Star Trek.

“Nyet.” Viktor pouted at the pictures, his eyes sparkling green. Yuuri resisted the urge to tap his finger on Viktor’s lips just to find out how soft it is. Before he could even lift his finger, he mentally slapped himself and willed himself to listen to Viktor’s explanation. “The variety of environments on various planets greatly affect the characteristics of the species residing there. Those types of creatures are just images from your kind’s imagination. Us aliens as you say, usually don’t look too different from you. We have minor internal sometimes external adaptations is all. Of course, that depends on how harsh the living conditions on a planet are.”

“I see…” 

Yuuri was still in the process of absorbing everything Viktor has told him. Frankly, even now, Yuuri has yet to figure out how his and Viktor’s relationship will go considering they have a lot of ground to cover (from outer space to mating to moving to a different planet) but he’s willing to at least watch it grow between them. 

‘Who knows? Maybe Viktor is my soulmate.’ Yuuri couldn’t deny the hope which started to bloom in his chest the more he got to know Viktor.

“In my opinion, Earth is really something to behold. It’s quaint but there’s so much life even in the smallest of places.” Viktor smiled as placed his hand over Yuuri’s, prompting him to click on the stock photo of a group of humans laughing together as they laid on the grass. “It’s as if it doesn’t matter where you are. You can have a nice day regardless.”

Yuuri’s blush deepened at the way Viktor held his hand. Yuuri though had been aware of how his cheeks had already heated up the moment Viktor sat behind him and watched him scroll through pictures on Google. Yuuri turned and snuck a glance at Viktor’s face. His smile was fond as he stared at the photo, bright blue eyes glimmering softly. 

Yuuri couldn’t help but smile too.

“…Viktor?” Yuuri was curious. “What’s it like on your planet? Since, your kind and mine don’t look too different, does that mean your planet is not as different as Earth?”

“Well…” Viktor placed a finger on his lip in contemplation. It was a cute habit that Yuuri had noticed over the past week since Viktor’s arrival. “I think if I were to compare it with a place here on Earth it would be very similar to a mix between a modern city and a medieval kingdom.”

“You mean…like Asgard?” Viktor watched the way Yuuri’s eyes lit up as he spoke.

“Even grander!” Viktor chuckled at Yuuri’s enthusiasm.

“Your planet must be really beautiful then, huh?”

“And yet there is still much to be desired.” 

“What do you mean?”

“Oh…I think it would not be the same context as what you deem as…hmm what’s the word? Ah! ‘home’.” Viktor smiled down at Yuuri. “It is a mere place where Makkachin and I live in. Nothing special.”

“Makkachin? Is Makkachin a relative of yours?” Viktor smiled amusedly at Yuuri, his eyes growing softer and warmer each time Yuuri asked a question.

“Well, you could say that. I guess Makkachin is the closest I have to a family.”

“What’s Makkachin like?” 

“Oh, you’d love her! She’s incredibly soft, her hair curls in the most adorable way. She always gives me kisses when I return home. She’s such a star. I’m sure you’ll love her too once you meet her.”

“She sounds wonderful.”

“Oh, Yuuri. I can’t wait for you to meet her. Hopefully, Makkachin will arrive here sooner. She’s being held up by my planet’s quarantine system to make sure she doesn’t bring anything infectious here on Earth.” 

“I’m sure my parents will gladly accommodate her too. After all, they have practically adopted you now.” Yuuri shyly scratched his cheek. “Just tell us when she’ll arrive and we’ll set up a room for her.”

“Yuuri, it’s fine. Makkachin can sleep with me. One room is enough for the both of us.” Viktor hugged Yuuri from behind in gratitude.

Yuuri, on the other hand, was confused. 

“Are you sure? I mean, your bed is pretty big but it would be more comfortable for two people to have–”

Viktor laughed lightly at Yuuri’s words, causing Yuuri to sputter. 

“Yuuri, Makkachin is my pet. On Earth, you can probably liken her to a poodle except more ‘adaptable’.”

“O-oh. T-That’s settled then. Yes, yes, one room is enough.”

A comfortable silence fell over them but Yuuri still had a question nagging him at the back of his mind.

“Is Makkachin your only family?” Yuuri blurted out without thinking. 

A few moments of silence passed, Yuuri’s heart beat erratically as he waited for Viktor to speak.

“…Yes.” Viktor tightened his hold around Yuuri, resting his chin on Yuuri’s shoulder. 

Yuuri gulped, swallowing the growing lump in his throat before continuing.

“What about your parents?” 

“They disappeared after I was born.” Yuuri watched as Viktor’s eyes shifted to a more somber blue, almost the color of the sky when it rains. 

Yuuri allowed himself to place his hand over Viktor’s in consolation. Viktor in turn wrapped his arms even tighter around him. 

“Frankly, there is not much I can tell you about ‘home’, Yuuri. The word ‘home’ in your culture’s context connotes a sense of warmth and belonging evoked through memories.” Viktor continued. 

“However, I think the memories I have with you here make me feel warm, Yuuri. And that is why I think Earth is a thousand times better than wherever I came from.”

Yuuri felt the sincerity in Viktor’s words. His sweet words flooding his veins as he smiled.

“I can say the same to you, Viktor.”

Maybe someday, Viktor can call Earth his home too.

Viktor loved long nights. That was a fact very few people knew about him.

One might say he liked them because he had more time to think about his upcoming programs and refine them; or maybe because he had more time to rest after spending all day at the rink. Or maybe because the long, quiet nights would help him concentrate on what he would say on his next interview.

What nobody knew about him was, he loved long nights because he had more time to watch his Yuuri sleep.

Every since Yuuri moved in with him, Viktor’s life had changed in the best of ways, something he didn’t imagine could ever happen to him. Now he didn’t have to wake up alone. Now he didn’t have to improvise a meal and eat it alone in the middle of the darkness. Now he didn’t have to walk Makkachin while feeling bored and hopeless. Now it wasn’t painful to think about his future.

Without realizing it, Yuuri had changed so much in so little time, and Viktor had gotten used so quickly that now it was difficult to think about his old, boring life from before.

He’d lost inspiration, and in his search he’d found more than that. He had found life and love in the process; something he wouldn’t trade for all the gold in this world.

That’s why he liked watching Yuuri while he slept. Because every time he looked at his beautiful, peaceful face, he was reminded of the brightness he’d brought into Viktor’s life, the wonders of a new perspective, and the joy of having someone to share a lifetime of new experiences filled with so much love they could burst out into space. When Yuuri slept he looked like an angel, and Viktor couldn’t be more convinced of it every time he watched him.

Yes, Viktor loved long nights because that way he could watch Yuuri sleep next to him, and that always reminded him he had a long, bright future ahead next to the person he most loved in this world.

And he would keep on loving them, for as long as Yuuri stood by his side.

“Oh my God!” Yuuri squeaked, eyes wide and fingers in a death grip around his phone. He couldn’t believe what he was reading. “Nowaynowaynowaynowaynowaynowaynoway-”

He tapped furiously, YouTube flashing on his screen half a heartbeat later. He had to see this for himself - the search results didn’t disappoint, slapping a hand over his mouth as a squeal of excitement broke free.

“Victor!” he screamed over his shoulder. News like this shouldn’t be kept private. “Vic - oh my God, you won’t believe it!”

Yuuri didn’t see where his husband was coming from - but he heard it all right! Some fumbled footsteps, a loud thud, and a muttered ‘ow!’ signalled Victor’s arrival behind him, Yuuri turning round just in time to see his husband catch himself from tripping on the back of the couch, hair unruly and sloppy over his face. His eyes were blanked wide with shock

“What?” Victor asked, voice rushed. “What’s wrong? What’s happened? Is Makka okay?”

“Wha- yeah, she’s fine,” Yuuri waved off, blinking back down to his phone. The video was up in seconds. “Look! Look at this! I can’t believe it! I thought I saw a rumour the other day, but oh my God-”

He all but shoved the phone in his husband’s face, waving it wildly. He couldn’t stay still. He just couldn’t. How could he when-

“The Jonas Brothers?”

Victor scrunched a face, arching a sceptical eyebrow at his husband over the phone. The judgement was clear.

Yuuri didn’t let it get to him.

“They’re back together!” he squealed, bouncing on the balls of his feet and smile so wide his cheeks were starting to ache. He hadn’t felt this excited since Victor had agreed they could get a new puppy.

Victor watched on, intrigued. Sure, it was cute, but-

“Is it really that important?”

Yuuri stopped bouncing. His gaze snapped up to Victor, expression sharp liked Victor had just slapped him. Victor regretted his choice of words instantly.

“Victor, I loved them!” Yuuri spilled, hand slapping over his chest. “They’re the Jonas Brothers! They were huge when I first moved to America!”

Ah, Victor thought, the pieces slotting together. That made sense. “I thought they were from the Disney Channel?”

Yuuri flushed scarlet, still holding Victor’s eye. “It helped with my English…”

Sure, Victor thought to himself, grinning. That was the reason. Still, he’d play along to keep his husband happy, wrapping his arms around his husband, back to chest, with his chin on Yuuri’s shoulder. He set the phone back in Yuuri’s hands, pressing play on the video as he did. “Who’s your favourite?” He didn’t even bother listening to the song.

He was much more interested in the way Yuuri’s head pressed back against his shoulder, face tipping up to the ceiling. He could tell Yuuri was biting his lip, warmth radiating from his cheeks.

It was adorable.

“Joe,” Yuuri finally spilled, bobbing on the spot. “He was just so cool. I mean Nick was cute too, but he was just a little boring and Kevin was really boring, but Joe … he had the hair, the brooding bad boy attitude, and - oh my God, they’ve got their wives in the music video! Victor, I can’t even - this is why I loved these boys!”

Victor rolled his eyes quietly to himself, lips quirked in a smile. He didn’t pay attention to the song. All his attention went to Yuuri - the warm flush of his cheeks, his excitable fidget, and the rambling voice that Victor would never get tired of listening to more than any music.

(fyi - song here.)
