Story Preview: Magic/Dark Academia AU in which skating, linguistics, and time travel intersect

Professor Baranovskaya loudly cleared her throat and placed a hand on Yuuri’s trembling shoulder.

“Everyone, please take a moment to welcome your newest classmate,” she airily announced, to a rather stilted round of clapping. “If you didn’t get a chance to meet him at the Prospective Students Banquet last December– ” (to Viktor’s chagrin, even louder giggling erupted, making him want to throttle Isabella Yang) “ – or over the last few weeks, allow me to introduce first year student Katsuki Yuuri, hailing from the town of Hasetsu, Japan. I’m told by Professor Cialdini that Yuuri’s grasp of Reverberatory Theory could rival a faculty member’s, so I’m sure you’ll find him to be a valuable resource.”

Curious whispers filled the room at this last sentence. Aside from Viktor and just two other students – 4th years Sasha Samokhina and Kostya Kozhennikov – no one else had actually managed to grasp the intricacies of Reverberation, particularly when it came to its grammatical rules.

“That being said, do try not to resent his prowess too much,” Professor Baranovskaya firmly finished. 

Their eyes met and Viktor felt a bit insulted by her lingering gaze. Resent Yuuri?

Him?!?

Once again, Viktor reflected on how misunderstood he was at Pax. If he tried to befriend promising students like Sasha or his fellow dual major classmate Nao Yasutani, it was automatically regarded with skepticism, as if the Institute's top Reverberator couldn’t possibly want companionship without having ulterior motives.

It made him want to scream.

Had Professor Baranovskaya forgotten how he’d begged Drs. Piseev and Leroy to accompany them on the scouting trip to Japan, back in April? Had she conveniently forgotten that it was Viktor who had so zealously insisted on Yuuri’s recruitment to Pax in the first place, well before that wondrous video had been uploaded to the internet?

The above excerpt is a preview of a new 'Alternate First Meeting' Yuri!!! on Ice WIP/series I'm working on: a friends-to-lovers, magical dark academia AU that I was inspired to write after finishing the books Vita Nostra (by Maryna and Serhiy Dyachenko), and Babel (by RF Kuang). Both are so gripping and imaginative, and I couldn't stop thinking about how my favorite characters might intersect with the rich settings/magic systems in either.

Below is a tentative summary; if this sounds interesting, I hope you'll give me a follow!

---

The first known instance of Reverberation – the phenomenon in which a skater produces language and energy with their body, universally felt and understood by all in proximity – occurred in 1952, when Dick Button performed the first triple jump. Over 50 years later, Viktor Nikiforov is skating’s most prolific Reverberator and star student at the University of Chicago’s Pax Institute: the world’s premier research center dedicated to the training of Reverberators for global diplomacy.

When Katsuki Yuuri finds himself being aggressively recruited by his idol to enroll at Pax, he has no idea that the two of them will eventually become best friends. Or, that they will one day co-lead a student uprising once they uncover the true, sinister aim of their education: to master the art of stationary Reverberation that transfers language onto blank pages and creates enough energy to rip through time

"Amnesia was his name

He had beautiful eyes"

I have been thinking about DR Jay so so so much recently. When I say I'm excited for s3, I MEAN IT. I need my beloved (Jay Ninjago) to return from the war (finally get attention in the show again)

ALSO. Thinking about. OH MY GOSH. TFP Optimus wanted Megatron to change his mind sooo bad, but it felt like it was never going to happen. The only reason it DID was because Megatron was fucking POSSESSED after dying, being sent to hell, and then Unicron took control over his body and tortured him like OH MY GOD. And then Megatron just left instead of trying to atone. BUT IN TFE Megatron changes him mind and HELPS END THE WAR!!! AND THEN HELPS AFTERWARDS TO MAKE UP FOR YOU KNOW. BEING A WARLORD AND KILLING HUNDREDS. LIKE if there was a crossover TFP Optimus seeing TFE Megatron being good like... yeah Optimus was right about all sentient beings deserving the right to change. TO have the capacity for change. Sorry TFP Optimus needs therapy so bad Opposite spectrum THE AUTISM SPECTRUM??? TFP Megatron and TFE Megatron meeting would be like "Wow you literally suck. Kill yourself."

Today's a rather bad migraine day (3rd migraine day in a row..can I get a wahoo?? 🙃🙃) so I'm hardcore focusing on the things that make me happy.

I've been awake since 6ish(???? I think, maybe..like 6pm) yesterday, don't intend on sleeping ANY TIME SOON, and I'm hardcore switching between disassociation and hypermania.

To deal with all this and try and make my morning a teensy bit better, I'm focusing heavily on my special interests and current hyperfixations.

The Good Omens theme is looping in the background while I read.

I'm currently reading Good Omens and giggling like a child whenever I come across lines that were directly placed in the show.

I have hot tea (Earl grey with honey and a bit of sugar) and a banana as "breakfast" until my girl wakes up and then I'm planning maybe pancakes.

There's snow outside, like, legit "stuck to the ground for days, middle of my calf when I walk in it" snow, so I've got the windows open and whenever focusing on reading gets too hard, I'm jus staring out at the snow.

It's not the perfect way to spend a day, but it's better than laying in bed all day, miserable and alone. If I'm gonna be in pain, I'd rather be in pain while doing the things that make me happy and that means being an utter fangirl about the ineffable duo and making my life into little inside jokes (ALWAYS take a banana to a party, Rose!!) then that's what I'm gonna do.

Anyways, rant over. Dismissed.

There's a very unique blend of joy and despair that comes with being hyperfixated on an IF that's still a WIP, and I'm never able to decide if I like that feeling or not

Fortunately it's a hyperfixation, so I don't need to decide if I like it or not

[wisterianightmare]

Hey OP, could you not be so for real for a sec please?

have I finished my current fanfic yet? no.

have I started writing a brand new fanfic instead of finishing the one I already have? ...perhaps

Deuce x Reader

Helping Deuce study

Where you help our dear and clumsy Deuce with his potion exercises <3

I'm not going to lie that I've developed a hyperfixation on deuce lmao so I had to write this I hope you like it <3

The NRC library was unusually quiet that afternoon, only the occasional rustling of pages and the scratching of quills filling the space. Despite the ideal study environment, Deuce's brow furrowed, his jaw clenched as he stared at his notebook, as if he wanted the solution to his potion problem to write itself.

You, sitting next to him, looked at him with a mixture of tenderness and amusement.

"Deuce…" you gently called his attention, resting your chin on the palm of your hand.

He didn't even look up.

"Give me a second… I'm almost there…"

You knew that wasn't true. Deuce had this habit of insisting on solving everything himself, even if he'd been mulling over the same problem for half an hour without coming to a conclusion. And while you admired his determination, you also knew he was sometimes too stubborn.

"You've been writing and erasing the same equation for fifteen minutes."

"It's not true!" he immediately retorted, but as soon as he saw your incredulous look, he slumped his shoulders and sighed. "…Okay, yeah. I don't understand anything."

You giggled before moving a little closer.

"Let me see," you said, leaning over his notebook.

Deuce tensed slightly when your arm brushed against his. Even though you'd been together for months, he still got nervous when you were too close. It was adorable.

"Look, here's the problem." You pointed to the part where he'd mixed up the unit conversions. "Instead of multiplying, you'd have to divide by the magic density to get the exact amount."

Deuce blinked.

Then he blinked again.

"Oh."

"Yeah, 'oh,'" you mocked with a smile. "See? It wasn't that complicated."

He scratched the back of his neck, clearly embarrassed.

“Tsk… I guess I was making this more complicated than necessary.”

You couldn’t help but laugh softly, picking up his pen and writing the correction in his notebook. As you did so, you felt his gaze fixed on you.

“What’s wrong?” you asked, still writing.

Deuce quickly looked away, as if you’d caught him doing something inappropriate.

“N-Nothing… just… you’re amazing at this,” he murmured, crossing his arms with a slight blush on his cheeks. “I like watching you explain things. You look… really cool. and... and cute...”

He said that last part so quietly you barely heard it, but the blush on his face gave it away.

You paused for a moment before smiling sweetly at him.

“Was that a compliment, Deucey?”

“Don’t ruin it!” he protested, burying his face in his arm on the table. “It’s hard for me to say things like that without you making fun of me.”

"I'm not making fun of you," you said, leaning your head on his shoulder. "I like it when you're honest with me."

Deuce was silent for a few seconds, probably trying to process the sudden contact.

"You're always honest, so… I want to be honest with you too," he murmured at last, leaning into you slightly.

The heat in your chest intensified at his words. Deuce had always been someone who spoke his mind with his heart on his sleeve, but when it came to things like this, you could still see how clumsy and sweet he could be.

"So, does that mean you want to study with me more often?" you asked, raising an eyebrow in amusement.

He remained silent before nodding with a small sigh.

"Yeah… but not just because I need help studying," he said quietly. "I like being with you, even if we're stuck in the library with these damn conversion problems."

Your smile widened.

"Then I'll make studying more fun for you. How about after each topic you learn, I give you a reward?"

Deuce blinked, confused.

"Reward?"

You leaned down until your lips gently brushed against his cheek, placing a short but effective kiss that made his entire face turn red.

"Hey!" he gasped, bringing his hand to his cheek. "That's cheating!"

"Don't you like the reward?"

Deuce looked at you in disbelief, then looked away, his brow furrowed, his lips pursed, as if he were trying to resist a smile.

"…Well, if you put it that way… I guess I can try harder," he said, feigning indifference.

You didn't believe him for a second.

"Then let's get to it!" you exclaimed, opening his book to the next page. "Every time you get something right, I'll give you another kiss."

"W-Wait, that's too much—"

"What? Don't you want to improve your grades?"

Deuce looked at you, then at his notebook, and then back at you.

Finally, he cleared his throat and picked up his pen again, renewed determination in his eyes.

"Okay… but be prepared, because I'm going to get every one right!" he said with a confidence that made you smile.

Maybe studying with Deuce wasn't so bad after all.

Okay so I might’ve mentioned that I’m writing a fic where the children of Percabeth, Solangelo, and Valgrace go on an epic quest to rescue their parents and the rest of the Seven from the clutches of evil and I’ve kinda been Hyperfixating on it for a while so here is the first character I would like to info-dump about.

Meet Finley Di Angelo-Solace!!!

He’s currently my favourite out of the Next-gen trio and definitely the one I have the most fun writing for. I genuinely love him sm.

Rant under the cut-

Fin is the son of Nico and Will, and was created using divine godly magic so is biologically both theirs (hey if Zeus can have a baby from his thigh this can happen)

His powers are a complex amalgamation of both of his parents: he can shadow-travel in sunlight, he can heal and talk to the dead and his main weapon is archery

He’s autistic

He has hypersensitive hearing (it could be an Apollo thing, it could be an Autism thing we don’t know. It’s probably both)

He prefers ranged combat partially because he is touch-averse and likes to keep his distance (also bc the other two characters both use melee weapons so I needed some variety)

I see your “Trans Will Solace” hc and I raise you- “Transmasc son of Solangelo who they love and support so so much”

He will INSIST on wearing a binder throughout the entire quest, rib cage be damned! (This will become a problem bc apparently you’re supposed to take breaks and you’re not supposed to do any physical exercise in them so running around chasing monsters is not gonna go well)

A big theme in the fic is gonna be “names have power- but the name you choose is so much more important than the name you were given”, a continuation of the theme from my Married Valgrace AU (which this is canon to) where Jason chooses to take Leo’s name instead of keeping the name of the mom that abandoned him. I feel like Finley would be a great character to symbolise this- someone who chose his own name.

His favourite colour is green/turquoise

Think of Nico’s scariest moment that you’ve read in canon or in a fic- where he is just a force of complete and utter darkness and death. Are you picturing it? Good. Now multiply that by ten. Now imagine someone tried to misgender his child.

The same can be applied to Will. No transphobe would dare mess with Solangelo’s boy.

He is childhood best friends with the two other main characters, Isabella and Olympia, and talks to them a lot but is kinda shy around everyone else.

He also has a major crush on Isabella- the daughter of Valgrace. I have so many cute hcs about those two y’all have no idea.

He is good with medicine and has a magic first-aid kit that acts a lot like Leo’s tool belt with replenishing supplies.

He loves Star Wars

While all the other characters’ POV chapters have regular PJO-style funny titles, all his chapter titles are TOA-esque haikus.

I need someone to hear me out on this. My brain has consistently tortured me with thoughts of the scenario of reader in the middle of a pile of Change skins, with OG Chance in that pile too. The sheer confusion and shock to be seeing the same face but multiplied by 10+, and almost all of them wear different clothes. Each one of them just trying to get to know who reader is, and why OG seem so close to them. Each one of them will have a take on reader. There's one skin I will limit to only platonic: the Pico skin.

Please, I need someone to share what I am thinking. I need to infect someone with my hyperfixation on that stupid gambler.
