‪just A Regular Bff Bonding Ft. One Of Phichit’s Hamsters

Things to read while Can You Hear My Heartbreak is on vacation #2

A Song of Fiery Birds and Endless Winter

Summary:

“Why are you helping me?” Viktor was silent for a while. “Your skating makes everyone watching feel the love you have for this sport,” he then said quietly. “It has the power to revive a heart that has withered away. It’s what drew me to you.” What is he saying? Yuuri blinked, trying to process the words. “But I thought you love skating, Viktor.” Sochi, 2014 Figure Skating legend Viktor Nikiforov knows that these winter games will be his last, for not even the magic of the Olympics can melt the winter in his heart. Having just suffered an embarrassing defeat, anxiety-ridden Katsuki Yuuri scrapes together the pieces of his confidence for the men's individual event. Neither of them could have foreseen the sudden turn their stay in Sochi takes when Viktor watches Yuuri’s group practice. As the pair gets closer, Yuuri and Viktor realise that their encounter has brought to life more than new passion for the sport they love, and their Olympic dream is no longer the only dream they share. But what happens at the Olympics, stays at the Olympics—or so the saying goes.

This story was part of the YOI Daydreamer Big Bang that, unfortunately, never banged. But I posted it anyway because me, my beta and my artist had poured so much work into the project.

If you love yourself a cute slow-burn that is a homage to the figure skaters that inspired the YOI characters and that handles mental health issues sensibly, this story is for you.

This is by the way the story that ended up on some anti-rec list because "Yuuri is a creepy fanboy". Please judge for yourself.

Reblog appreciated 💙💜

it's missing viktuuri hours

Victor “A True Artist Gets Dumped After A Party And Milks That Pain For All It’s Worth” Nikiforov

Warming up Viktuuri doodle...and my first time drawing Yuuri! 🌸

when you're crying about the cancellation but remember how good YOI was to you

I'M GONNA BITE SOMEONE

Info

Something I love most about Victor is just how shameless he is about loving Yuuri.

Throughout the entire series, Victor is depicted showing his affection for Yuuri very publicly.

A few examples of this being...

When Victor hugged Yuuri from behind in front of the entire audience at the CSK championship.

When Victor got completely drunk and started hanging off of Yuuri in front of everyone before the Cup of China, and had absolutely no complaints about the picture Phichit posted of them.

When Victor wrapped his arms around Yuuri's waist while resting his head on his shoulder in front of the other skaters at the Cup of China

When Victor kissed him in front of thousands of people on live television at the Cup of China.

When Victor publicly announced their engagement the rest of the gpf skaters + the others around them who were also there to witness it in Barcelona.

Must I go on?

Moral of the story is, he's so proud of being able to love Yuuri that he doesn't even care about his title as the 'living legend of figure skating' who went off to coach some 'dime a dozen' Japanese figure skater. He doesn't let the possibility of backlash affect the way he shows his partner his love, and he doesn't care about what anyone else has to say about their relationship but the two of them, and I think that's such an amazingly healthy aspect about their relationship that just isn't talked about enough.

It says so much about Victor as a character. It shows that Yuuri is so much more than just his student, fellow competitor, or fan. He sees Yuuri as his equal, and as someone worthy of showing off and taking care of. He loves Yuuri enough to put him above his title, and to sacrifice his competitive skating career for him. He refers to Yuuri as his life and his love, and was absolutely devastated at the idea of Yuuri not needing him as his coach anymore.

He loves Yuuri more than words, and everyday I grow even more upset that we never got to see more of them.
