Summary
"You're leaving and I'll be the oldest one out there. I already hold the records in seniors and I'm sure the Russian Bitch will be on my tail all next year if I try to train in Russia with him. You and I both know I would have only had another year, or two left... why not end it one year earlier and train the little Japanese boy?"
"Cause that's not why you're doing it."
"And why am I doing this if you know me so well?"
"Because you think you can train him to steal Nikiforov's new junior world's record right out from under him."
"That's not it." Yuri said, and he saw the shock that flickered over Otabek's face. "It's because I know he can steal Nikiforov's new world title out from under him. Now where did the little shit go, I need to find him and his old coach to discuss me taking over."
Or an Au in which Younger Skater Viktor Nikiforov steals all of Yuri's old junior world records and Yuri is just Petty enough to train a younger skater to steal them all back.

Summary
Ah, Yuuri thinks as his skates touch down on the ice, and even as Yuuko watches him it’s the weight of Viktor’s eyes he feels on his shoulder blades, I’m not ready to let this go.

Summary
The weekend of last year’s Rostelecom cup, Yuuri Katsuki declared his love for fried pork in a press conference, got caught by paparazzi rescuing a dog from a river, revealed a short program costume that showed off his multitude of soulmate marks, and broke Viktor’s world record. All while being, objectively, the cutest human being on the planet.
The entire skating world–– including Viktor–– fell in love instantly.
Or: a soulmate au where the first time you touch your soulmate(s), colored marks appear on your skin. Yuuri has more marks than Viktor’s ever seen on someone. Viktor has none.

Summary
Yuuri is the rising star of the Figure Skating world, a shoe in for the World Championships after his fourth consecutive medal in the Grand Prix Finals. He's one of the best figure skaters the world has ever seen, but in the time between he is an anxious mess, pushing himself too hard, overdoing it again and again, determined that every performance outshine the last. Until he injures himself in a fall during practice.
Victor Nikiforov knows first hand the tragedy of a rising skater breaking too soon. He'd retired early, due to an accident of his own, and he steps in to be Yuuri's coach in the wake of his injury, determined to guide him better than he himself had been guided.

Summary
“Yuuri!” Phichit cries. “I know you have this weird insomnia thing, but for the love of god, get some sleep. Or at least turn the phone down. I know it’s after midnight there.”
“Holy shit, Phichit,” says Yuuri. “Yakov Feltsman wants to coach me.”
“Holy shit,” Phichit agrees, wide eyed.
(Or: Vicchan lives and fate is a funny thing.)
