    Summary

    "You don't know what you're talking about," Suguru says dismissively, his voice laced with quiet indifference and a hint of irritation. The deliberate clink of books and pens echoes in the stillness, a subtle reminder of the distance he’s putting between them. His gaze flickers toward Satoru. "And get off my desk."

    Satoru’s lips curl into a smug smile as he rolls his tongue over the lollipop hanging lazily from his mouth. Unbothered, his eyes sparkle with mischief. "Or what, Professor?"

    OR

    Gojo Satoru knew nothing about love when he started playing his game. He knew nothing of its gifts and its sorrows and its consequences. There were only two things that he was sure about: for one, he was obsessed with space, and for another, he wanted Geto Suguru to notice him.

    The rest, all of the things that Satoru wasn't prepared for, came long after he began to play.

    Summary

    ‘Hikaru’’s face brightened. “I love ya.”

    Yoshiki blushed up to his hairline, able to comprehend the words more clearly now that ‘Hikaru’ wasn’t telling him he was leavin’. “Yer…” He could hardly speak in his embarrassment.

    ‘Hikaru’ picked up on his nerves. He grinned. Yoshiki’s eyes immediately went to his snaggletooth; it was his favorite part of Hikaru’s smile.

    “Make ya im-bare-ist?” he enunciated.

    ☼☼☼

    Slight canon-divergence following Chapter 26. What if ‘Hikaru’ stayed over after his beach-side confession, and what if said beach-side confession pushed Yoshiki over the edge?

    Summary

    It was the wanting that made him feel dirtier than the e-mails, the money, the key cards, strangers' hands groping his ass on the way to their hotel room.
    And with every other client, it made him feel soiled-through. With Yuuri, it broke his heart.

    -

    There's an unspoken rule when it comes to sharing a bed with a man who pays you for it. But Victor's never been good at following the rules.

    Summary

    Poodle
    Yuuuuri did you know you're ranked second on “Top Ten Butts in Men’s Figure Skating” ???

    The blog had ranked Victor third, below Yuuri, which is laughable. “This is an opportunity,” Phichit says, when he finds Yuuri in the kitchen, staring at the text while his pot of instant noodles boils over on the stove. “To find out if it’s Victor, I mean.”

    Katsuki Yuuri
    the rankings are clearly wrong
    particularly the top three

    But either Poodle isn’t Victor, or he isn’t interested in defending the honour of his butt: of course it’s wrong! your butt is clearly superior to that Canadian, his ass is flatter than blinchiki.

    (After his disastrous Grand Prix Final, Katsuki Yuuri decides to try to be the first skater to land a quad axel in competition. It’s a secret from everyone, except the mysterious text correspondent who appeared in his phone contacts as “Poodle” following the Sochi GPF.)

    Summary

    “Back then,” Yuuri asks. “Did you love me?”
    The cigarette hangs low, tucked between Victor’s lips. The end glows steadily orange, devil eyes on a coal-black night.
     
    (Some ghosts of your past you leave well alone.)

    (Or: the powered assassins AU in which betrayal comes first, forgiveness second, and love was always somewhere in the equation.)
