Summary
Dream wagers with Desire and loses. The price he must pay? Living out a year among humans, not in the manner of his choosing but as a married "woman", at least as far as those around him will see.
Desire's one concession to Dream: that he may spend that year married to Hob Gadling, who didn't sign up for any of this.
Now with art by fishydwarrows!

Summary
Essek discovers that Jester either texts in all capitals, or completely ignores them. There’s no inbetween. He also discovers that there are 238 notifications in the Mighty Nein group chat that he had recently been added to in much pomp and circumstance that he still didn’t really understand. A final discovery is that the celebration of birthdays is a sacred tradition for the Mighty Nein and one he is going to be pulled in on regardless of his opinion on the fact.

Summary
Caleb had caught Essek's attention immediately.
And ever since, this strange little neglected attraction has been bothering him. He initiates a mutually beneficial arrangement upon realizing that Caleb's interests match his own surprisingly well. A purely physical, transactional deal.That would be fine, if it were not for the dangerous implications and weaknesses.
Or for those many in-betweens when Essek is far too interested in what's beyond the boundaries of their agreement...

Summary
Crown Prince Caleb Widogast, formerly Bren Aldric Ermendrud, is less than thrilled to be married. He has his duty, and he will fulfill it, but it is less than ideal. Firstly, because he has plans, and doesn't need distractions to stop him from changing this country for the better, and secondly, because he's been in love with his childhood best friends for years now, and has no intention of stopping just because he's getting married for the cause of peace.
Lord Essek Thelyss, former traitor to his country, is less than thrilled to be married. He has a role to play, and by gods he will play it, but it is more like he is dancing with his shoes turned into knives. A single misstep, and he will be back in the Dynasty, serving out his sentence til the end of his days. He's not sure if he could hate his husband more than he does before even meeting him, but no one said he had to love the man. Simply marry him.
(probably abandoned, sorry, lost all motivation for this)
To the surprise of no one, this is a story about falling in love. And about treachery, and betrayal, and found family, and politics, and magic.
But - mostly about falling in love.Bookmarked by local_wizard

Summary
Crushed under the pressure of expectation, perfect son and perfect student Essek Thelyss has turned to an unusual outlet for letting off steam: selling drugs. A chance encounter in the course of his work brings him into the orbit of 'The Mighty Nein,' a group of misfits just as fucked up as he is, including his longtime academic rival, Caleb Widogast.
Friends are a foreign concept to Essek, but these weirdos are prepared to give him a crash course, and just in time. As Essek begins digging himself deeper into the criminal underworld of their small hometown, the Mighty Nein may be the only ones who can pull him back out.

Summary
Essek had never cared about anyone in his over a century of life - at least that's what he thought until he realized just how much he cared about the new friends he'd found in the Mighty Nein, right as he was losing them.
But Caleb offers him a second chance. If only Essek would take it.

Summary
Everyone has a guilty pleasure.
For Yuuri, it just happens to be romance movies starring famous heartthrob Victor Nikiforov.
(And, honestly, on the spectrum of guilty pleasures, he figures that his is on the far, far more innocent side.)

Summary
In his sweaty left hand is a bow, and strapped to his back is a quiver. In his quiver there are exactly 5 arrows, each of them tipped with a feather plucked from his own wing. He reaches behind him to slide one out of the quiver and onto the bow.
Taking a deep breath, Yuuri aims. Then releases his bowstring.
(In which Viktor is still a champion skater, and despite being Cupid, Yuuri is not doing himself any favours whatsoever.)

Summary
Yuuri Katsuki had not always been blind. There was a time when he could see the grass, the trees, the food he ate, his mother's face as she tucked him in at night and sung him a little song before he closed his eyes and went to sleep. He was in awe with the beauty of the world and when his sight was taken away from him, it was the cruellest of fates for the young boy.
AU where Yuuri is blind and Viktor is damn near enamoured of Yuuri.

Summary
Time seemed to slow to a stop, at first Viktor seemed to falter as he slowed alongside with time, his flush obvious on his cheeks. Viktor stopped skating, his form stayed frozen on the rink, before promptly dropping to the ice like a ragdoll.
Yuuri gasps alongside with the crowd. Viktor did not do any jumps, spins, or anything. Viktor Nikiforov, his undefeatable champion, his naive Fiancé, his love, his everything, has simply fainted.
Viktor did not look like he was going to get up anytime soon.
For the first time that night, Yuuri allowed himself to listen to the announcer’s booming voices.
“Viktor Nikiforov has fainted! Where are the medics? I repeat, Viktor Nikiforov has fainted!”

Summary
Yuuri is the first to recover, scrambling up and lending the man a hand. “I’m so sorry!” he gushes. “Are you okay?”
The hood of the man’s jacket is thrown off, and he takes Yuuri’s hand gratefully, his shoulder-length silver hair fluttering like a dream. “I’m fine,” he assures, and Yuuri may have gotten a concussion, because he swears the man looks just like--
“Oh my god, Victor,” the short blond kid next to him doubles over laughing. “That was just like a rom-com! I can’t believe you actually caught the pig as he fell.”
--Victor Nikiforov.
(In which Yuuri falls into Victor's arms and can't seem to get untangled, featuring the Phichit! on Ice show and Yurio's disapproving frown.)

Summary
"I'm broken, Vitya." Yuuri's voice trembled in the air between them.
"Don't-" Viktor's eyes were fierce, full of anger on his behalf.
"-Don't you dare say that, luybov' moya."
Yuuri hid his tears against Viktor's shoulders, and immediately, Viktor's arms enveloped him in a warm cocoon.
This...this must be what salvation feels like...

I Can't Find You in the Body Sleeping Next to Me by orphan_account
Fandoms: Yuri!!! on Ice (Anime)

Summary
Yuuri looks from his own bone-white mark to the deep, shiny scar on Viktor's wrist and something within him snaps. Of course. Of course it's all too good to be true. There is enough light caught in the feathery halo of Viktor's silver hair to blind him, enough charm in his blue eyes to enchant the entire world. Beside this sleeping god, Yuuri is small and dull and broken. Unworthy. Worthless.
(Or: Yuuri finds Viktor at last, only to realize that his soulmate doesn't want him.)

Summary
"Hi," Grantaire says breathlessly, taking the seat across from Enjolras and smiling. "You remembered my order?" he asks in surprise, looking down at the mug in front of him.
Enjolras scoffs, "Of course I did."
"Of course you did." Grantaire nods, but there's something incredibly fond in his voice. "Thanks."
_____
Enjolras and Grantaire's developing relationship, as told through the many different times they get coffee together.
(ft. pining, coffee, Enjolras falling slowly but surely in love, heaps of physical affection, and more coffee.)
