Summary
“Hello!” The Viktor look-alike smiles, charming.
It takes Yuuri a moment to find his voice. His heart is pounding loud and fast, even though rationally he knows this isn’t the real thing. “Um, hello.”
“It looks like we’ve been matched up tonight,” Viktor says. Even his inflection sounds exactly right.

Summary
Love is a streamlined, modern convenience. The oracle knows everything about you and everyone else in the galaxy, and finds you the best choice.
Yuuri taps the simple black band on his wrist, smooths back his messy hair, and presses “Match” on the holodisplay.
Unmatchable, it says, stark white on black.
Oh.

Yuuri's sick. Viktor's more than a little charmed at the chance to take care of him.

Summary
“Welcome, Mr. Katsuki, and thank you for choosing our office to receive your Soulmark today! It’s a pleasure to help guide you on the path of lifelong love.” The man’s salesman voice is strong. “There are just a few formalities we’ll need to get out of the way before we begin, you understand.”
Yuuri nods. He’s already filled out a mountain of all-English paperwork to get this far, but considering the permanent nature of tattoos, caution makes sense.
“Can you please confirm for me the intended location of your Soulmark?”
“My left hip, please.” Yuuri intentionally chose a place that would be easy to conceal.
“Great choice, great choice,” the man praises, no doubt in the same tone and inflection as he does every day to every client. “And are you aware of and consent to the fact that the size and contents of the mark are up to chance and not within the control of Soulmark Corporation?”
The paperwork had made it extremely clear how futile and expensive it would be to sue the corporation in the event he doesn’t like his mark. “Yes, I understand.”

Summary
Victor smiles and opens his mouth to give a kind comment, but “A commemorative photo?” is what falls out, the English phrase well-worn on his tongue.
Katsuki’s face goes blank, and Victor should stop, but he started down this path and he follows the ritual through automatically – he turns, one hand coming up in invitation. “Sure!”
This time, Katsuki’s reaction is strong enough to break through his impassive mask – his eyes widen and hurt washes over his face. Then a spark of resolve flashes through his eyes, Katsuki’s chin coming up sharply, determinedly, and Victor feels the bottom fall out of his stomach because he recognizes that expression.
It’s the same look Victor has seen in his soulmate’s eyes, during a soulmate flash; a look that strikes Victor deep in the heart with its intensity.
(Canon-based soulmate AU, in which soulmates experience signs, visions or sensory flashes about their partner. Victor and Yuuri are soulmates but neither of them realizes it until their paths cross at the Sochi Grand Prix Final.Victor gets a clue. Yuuri, not so much. But fate has a way of bringing its destined pairs together, even if the road getting there is a convoluted one).

Summary
"What was it like?" Yuuri asks. The scrape of his skates is slow and gentle on the ice, and Viktor looks up to watch him come near. He stops inches away, eyes fixed on the stands. "To be in front of thousands of people? To hear them shouting your name?"
Viktor looks at him, this beautiful man he's somehow found on the other side of the world in a town that doesn't exist, and says, "It was marvelous."Viktor Nikiforov has neglected life and love for over seventy years. Fighting a losing battle with illness, he takes up residence in what is known as a twilight town. In a city on the sea built of dreams and memories, he meets another dying man.

Summary
As chief communications officer on board the Interstellar Alliance Fleet’s Star Ship Victory, Yuuri doesn’t have to think about who he actually is on his home planet. He just has to listen to his captain, do his job, and…not fall in love with his best friend, the ship’s science officer, Victor Nikiforov.
Well. Two out of three’s not bad.
Then his mother calls with the worst possible news: She, the Empress of New Nihon, has arranged Yuuri’s marriage.
There’s only one thing Yuuri can do: Fake a boyfriend, and fake one fast. Who better/worse to play that role than the friend he wishes was more? What can go wrong? It’s not like Yuuri can fall more in love...- Language:
