Summary
The only type of dating geologists are good at is radioactive carbon-dating. The rest goes completely over their heads.
(Viktor and Yuuri are geology professors leading a field course in Western Australia. Chaos ensues.)
Alfred shifts awkwardly. Looks at Viktor and Yuuri, and asks, “So, uh. Are you guys dating?”
Yuuri greatly misunderstands, and Viktor panics.
Of course we are, Yuuri says. Rather critically, he thinks to himself: why else would he be here, in the scorching, godforsaken heat, surrounded by a hundred kilos of rock, if not for the purpose of radiometric dating?

Summary
Viktor's not really sure what to expect when Chris takes him to a Goth club in the off season. He knows nothing about the music or the style and he's not sure if he belongs there. But there's a man who dances like no one Viktor's ever seen, so maybe he can find his place.
--
“Viktor. My name is Viktor“, Viktor says, unsure whether to offer his hand.
The man laughs, crystal clear and sparkling, a stark contrast against the low, rumbling beat.
“Of course it is“, he says.
Viktor raises his eyebrows. “You don‘t believe me?“
The guy shakes his head deliberately.
“No, I‘m sure it‘s true. It‘s just...“, he makes a vague gesture towards Viktor‘s entire being, “you know, you meet a guy in a goth club, wearing a black suit and white tie, possibly Pikes, and having a fancy, elegant haircut, you absolutely expect him to be called Viktor or Damian or, you know, Valerian, or something. Or at least call himself something like that.“
Viktor furrows his brow and regards the man levelly.
“Are you saying I‘m a cliché?“

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
Yuuri wanted to make history as the first Deaf man to win the Grand Prix Final. Of course he's a little skeptical of Victor Nikiforov's presence, especially considering the reactions from others who have learned about his lack of hearing.
But Victor proves to be different, and Yuuri appreciates that. Now all that's left is to tell the figure skating world about it.

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.”
