    Summary

    Four-and-a-half years ago, Keith lost the friend he was in love with, searched for any trace of Shiro, and found nothing. Resigned to never seeing him again, Keith honored a request that Shiro sent him: he tried to move on. He took a scholarship package and moved to Massachusetts. He tried to make himself a new life.

    Now, Keith’s a broke, autistic history student at Kaltenecker University. He has trauma he doesn’t acknowledge, a depressive downswing that he’s ignoring, his Mom’s old knife, and a support network of about two people (his ex-girlfriend, Allura, and Kolivan, his academic advisor). His life’s a mess and his apartment’s a shit-hole, but at least they’re his.

    Then, Keith yells at the punk band keeping him awake at four in the morning and the last thing that he expected drops into his life. Namely: Shiro, with long hair and new scars, but clean, sober, and away from his abusive ex. Worse, Shiro seems happy to have found Keith again.

    This joy wouldn’t be bad if it made sense, but to Keith, it absolutely doesn’t. Shiro shouldn’t want Keith back in his life after what happened between them in Chicago, and there is definitely no way that Shiro ever loved Keith back — right?

    Summary

    “It’s actually something good,” Phichit protests, which is a very Phichit thing to say and it only makes Yuuri’s frown deepen. “Stop looking at me like that!” he laughs, and it causes Yuuri to drop his frown and laugh too. Phichit takes a sip of his coffee when his laugh dies down, and when he looks back at Yuuri he seems less frazzled. “They called me this morning from Channel Four, about you being on So Much Better.”

    Yuuri blinks and looks over at Phichit in shock. Of everything he thought Phichit might say, being invited to the award winning music tv-show was never one of them. “What?” he asks, putting his cup down to look straight at Phichit, who smiles warmly.

    ___________________

    Yuuri gets invited to participate in a reality show dedicated to seven artists living together for little over a week to celebrate each other's music. He's not sure if he's going to accept at first, but after finding inspiration in one of the artists' songs he decides to do it. He's excited about it, until the final set up list is announced, revealing Yuuri's long time idol and crush Victor Nikiforov to be one of the artists as well. Victor, who's lyrics Yuuri has tattooed all over his skin.

    Summary

    “Katsuki, you recently moved to Russia to train with your coach Victor Nikiforov,” Yuuri’s not sure why reporters need to tell him things that he already knows, but he’d rather not deal with Minako yelling at him over Skype so he just nods, and the reporter—Shana?—continues, “what do you like the most about training at Yubileyny?”

    “Well the facilities are amazing…” Yuuri switches to autopilot and recites the list of training resources that Victor had galloped through after the Grand Prix Finals—when he mistakenly thought that Yuuri needed any incentive to move to Russia other than Victor himself.

    He must answer the question well enough because she just nods along to some beat that Yuuri can’t hear. “What’s your least favorite thing about training in Russia?”

    The answer bursts out of him before he has any time to consider a diplomatic alternative, “Victor’s driving.”

    (Things escalate from there.)

    Summary

    Polaroid photos, bad prose, love-letters-that-aren't-love-letters. Keith registers himself for the pen-pal program at the local military garrison and is paired up with First Lieutenant Takashi "Shiro" Shirogane. He doesn't really expect much from it - a new friend is the most he envisioned he could get. Falling in love with the attractive soldier was not one of them.

    (Luckily, or unluckily, for him - Shiro's having the same problem.)

    Summary

    “We live in a blue planet that circles around a ball of fire next to a moon that moves the sea, and you don’t believe in miracles?”

    After an academic career at MIT and Oxford, Yuuri Katsuki eschews job offers at places like NASA and CERN to go work at the Very Large Array in what Phichit Chulanont lovingly calls The Actual Middle of Nowhere, New Mexico, monitoring radio frequencies from light-years away. He's loved the stars for as long as he can remember, and the universe feels so big sometimes that Yuuri is sure it would be a cruel mistake for humans to be all alone.

    Enter the latest scientist to join the staff of the VLA, enigmatic Russian genius Victor Nikiforov, around whom Yuuri’s entire universe seems to bend to make room, and the strange, recurring dreams Yuuri keeps having, where something like love carries him across the stars.

    Does love travel faster than light? Do souls?

    “The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”

    Summary

    How well does Yuuri really know his fiancé?

    After a string of silver medals in the Japanese Nationals, Four Continents and World Championships, Yuuri’s move to Russia with his wayward coach/fiancé only heightens his determination to finally get the gold.

    Meanwhile, after the announcement of his long-awaited comeback Victor is thrust back into the world of crazed fans, obsessive journalists and endless media attention. He seems to love every minute of it, so should Yuuri be worrying as much as he is about the brutal hours of training that Victor keeps imposing on himself? Or is Yuuri’s anxiety playing keep-away with his rationality again?

    He’d ask Victor, but he seems too busy to notice.

    Summary

    It happens so quickly that Yuuri barely notices.
    It’s not like ripping off a band-aid, still jarring and sudden in its quickness. It’s like when winter sometimes turns into spring overnight, the last of the chill dissipating with a warm breeze and next thing you know there’s flowers blooming all around you. 

    That’s how it happens.

    Yuuri collects each and every one of the details he stumbles upon as he spends time with Victor, and he hoards them deep in his chest, uses them to line his ribcage and wrap his sternum in the soft tendrils of it. He heaps them on his diaphragm like a soft mound of fluffy feathers and stuffs them into every crevice of his lungs until he feels he’s full, full, full to bursting with nothing but Victor.
     

    In which Yuuri falls in love, then falls apart, one petal at a time.

    Summary

    Yuuri never goes to Detroit. He gets an offer to train with Yakov Feltsman in St. Petersburg and takes that, instead. He's about to enter the Senior division and his idol, Victor Nikiforov, is in his prime, at the apex of his spectacular winning streak.

    It's the opportunity of a lifetime. More good fortune than Yuuri thinks he deserves... until he actually arrives in Russia. He's cold and lonely, fighting for scraps of attention from his coach, and he felt closer to Victor when they were continents apart.

    Summary

    In 2011, Victor Nikiforov disappeared from the world of figure skating. One day, he was a champion, and the next, he was gone, vanished from public life without a word. Although Yuuri Katsuki skated on without his idol, five years later he finds himself rudderless, reluctant to return to Hasetsu but sick of skating alone.

    It takes a call to his sister to wake him to action. Tourism is down, and the Katsukis are thinking of selling Yu-topia. Desperate to send money home, Yuuri looks for a job in the US.

    That's how he winds up in Chicago, standing on a stranger's doorstep to introduce himself as the family's brand new nanny. The last thing he expects is for Victor to be the one who opens the door.

    But even as Yuuri settles into his job and bonds with Victor's daughter, questions arise. What happened to Victor's career? Where is the girl's mother? And what awaits Yuuri behind the many locked doors in Victor's aging brownstone?

    Summary

    “Viktorrr,” Yuuri whispered, his fingers bunched in the front of Viktor’s shirt.

    “Mmhm?” Viktor mumbled, forcing his eyes to stay open. In the dim light Yuuri’s eyelashes looked longer than ever, his eyes dark and wide.

    “Viktor, I don’t want to be alone,” Yuuri whispered in Viktor’s ear, his breath hot.

    “I have an idea,” Viktor whispered, eyes locked with Yuuri’s. “If we haven’t gotten married to someone by 35, we should just marry each other! And then we won’t be alone.”

    Yuuri nodded seriously, his eyes wide. “Pinky promise?” he whispered, lifting one hand. “If we’re still alone when we’re 35, we’ll get married?”

    Viktor smiled slightly, and locked pinkies with Yuuri. “I promise,” he replied solemnly.
