Summary
“You do this, you do. You take the things you love
and tear them apart
or you pin them down with your body and pretend they're yours.
So, you kiss him, and he doesn't move, he doesn't
pull away, and you keep on kissing him. And he hasn't moved,
he's frozen, and you've kissed him, and he'll never
forgive you, and maybe now he'll leave you alone.”A brutal murder on Christmas Eve abruptly pulls one Detective Nikiforov out of a holiday he was just starting to tolerate, and forces him to come to terms with demons he's been pretending not to see. On that same night, a man walks into a bar and waltzes into his life, lighting a spark that grows into a monster of its own.

Summary
To know this, to see for himself that their kind are indeed real, and not just figments of fright and fantasy from stories told around campfires at new moon, has him excited - and wanting. In seconds, he knows that a bullet will fly, and it will all be over without him ever learning more of the vampire’s nature, or his motivations, or even his name.
But Yuuri has been hunting him for a long time now, and he knows that last one. “Hello, Victor.”

Summary
“Art can be about whatever you want it to be - beauty, truth, life. Happiness and sorrow, or the wordless chaos of one’s own mind. The pursuit of the divine.” Viktor shrugs. “But true art always offers an experience of transcendence… and such transcendence, almost always, requires sacrifice.”
Yuuri thinks of an axis of black, brown, and red; of a swirl of colors that is either lovely vegetation or human viscera, depending on who you ask; of sunflowers, irises, a yellow house, and starry nights. He thinks he understands.

Summary
The god of liminal spaces exists in the domain of transitions, commanding realms that straddle both physical borders and boundaries of a less corporeal nature: times, tides, and the vicissitudes of life.
Yuuri keeps running into him in his travels.

Summary
“Hello. Are you going to be digging into my head?”
“Ah. Um.” ‘Yes’, he wants to say, ‘sort of’, but also ‘no’. He’ll be assisting, but how long he gets to hold a scalpel depends on his mentor. “Mr. Nikiforov?”
“That’s me.” His smile, heart-shaped and radiant, makes Yuuri’s breath catch in his throat. “Come in. I’m not contagious, or so they’ve told me anyway.”
Yuuri steps into the room, unwittingly fulfilling a condition hardcoded into the Universe. After all, you have to meet someone before you can kill them.

Summary
Death by poster. Yuuri had already avoided that humiliating fate once in his life, moving faster than a bullet train to rip all his Viktor posters down before the living legend himself had bounded into his room in Hasetsu. But it seemed like Yuuri would not be able to avoid that fate twice, not with the heartfelt way that Nikolai Plisetsky stared at him now.
“For Yuratchka,” he said in halting English. “For birthday. Please.”
*
Or the story of how Death comes for Yuuri on little leopard feet after he signs a poster of himself for Yuri for his birthday.

Summary
Yurio crossed his arms over his chest. "You didn't bring that much from Japan," he commented, throwing his gaze around Viktor's apartment. "So what's all the rush with this one thing?"
There was a moment filled with nothing but more rustling and butt wiggling, and then Yuuri suddenly emerged, glasses skewed and hair a mess atop his head.
"It's my PS4," he answered, tipping his glasses back to level on his nose.

Summary
“Hi Yuuri, this is Sara Crispino calling from Feltsman, Lambiel & Nikiforov LLP. I’m calling because we would like to offer you a position as a Paralegal in our Corporate Transactions department – we were all very impressed with your credentials and think you would be a great fit here. Please give me a call back once you have a chance. Thank you!”
Yuuri waited three hours before calling Sara back, who answered immediately. He stammered an acceptance, not even bothering to negotiate salary because he still was not entirely convinced that they hadn't called him on accident. Then booked a flight back to the city.
He wasn’t excited, per se, but he was surprised, and a little relieved, and, well... He would be living in a city, in an apartment that would be too small, with a roommate that would probably be too loud, and working in an office. Maybe that was okay for now.
And maybe he would have a chance to thank that Victor guy. That would be okay, too.

Or: the AU in which everyone works in an office and they all collectively hate their jobs together and get nothing done.
