♠ Knight of Spades - Mari ♠

〈 Protector of Innocence 〉

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Ahhh I finally get to post this :D It was an honor to be able to contribute to the amazing project that is Yuri!!! On Cards from the Yuri!!! On The Web Discord server!

You can see the entire project via this masterpost! If you'd like more context for this gigantic YOI AU, head over to this blog post for an explanation of everything.

I'd like to give a massive shoutout to @arom-antix and @lines-on-ice for basically putting this all together and making this amazing idea a reality. I know Arrow credits me as one of the admins of this project, but I really only made a Google Drive and did a little research for the artists on how to format their cards haha

I had a ton of fun coming up with Mari's design as the Knight of Spades. I knew right away that I wanted Mari's design to reflect her Japanese heritage since the suit of Spades is a fully Japanese cast.

I've cut me talking about the art itself and my thought process while working on it so I don't nuke your dash, but if you'd like to read my ramblings feel free to

Making Mari a samurai was an easy choice since, one, that's basically what a knight was in Japan (albeit there was no legal binding between a daimyo and his samurai), and, two, I've always HC'd Mari as a protective older sister in the sense she'd be fairly hands off until someone made the mistake of bullying her little Yuuri.

I wanted her armor to be blue since that was the overarching color scheme for Spades, but choosing what blues to use was.. Difficult. There needed to be enough contrast between the different pieces of her armor to show that the armor is made of multiple parts while keeping the hues and brightness values close enough to still look cohesive. I also wanted to keep the blues relatively low saturated to bring our Mari's blonde highlights.

(As I was coloring her armor I realized half way through that I basically drew a Samurott ginjinka oops (￣▽￣*)ゞ)

I had originally intended for the sarashi (the belt) to be pure white, however when I put all the base colors down I realized the white was too much and pulled your eyes away from Mari's overall form. I knew having the belt be pure blue would make the belt blend in too much with the rest of the armor, so I ended up making the belt mostly blue with white accents as a compromise. I still wish the belt could have been white, but oh well.

As for the katana.. That was originally going to be pure blue, but like the belt problem, I had issues keeping the katana from looking muddied. I ended up trying five different variations of black/dark gray until I settled on what you see above lol. It was really difficult making the hilt of the katana look nice because if I went too dark with the blacks I would lose detail on the hilt, but if I went too light I would lose the contrast with the hilt's blues. As for the saya (scabbard/sheathe) I wanted it to be black, but I ended up matching it to Mari's armor instead because a black saya with a mostly black hilt somehow made the entire katana look flat.

The color palates I used for everything else was just me eyeballing her fleshtone and hair color through various screenshots I ripped directly from the show.

The background gave the the most trouble out of everything though because I'm not particularly great at making interesting, minimalistic backgrounds for my art. The card looked to plain without some sort of variation of color behind Mari, but since her armor was already so complex I needed a background that didn't take away from those complexities and didn't muddy the entire piece. I had originally planned to do a sumi-e type background, however I found that no matter what I did the sumi-e designs took away focus from Mari. Eventually I settled on a default abstract Procreate brush and drew lines until something stuck.

Overall I had a blast making this and also the borders for the rest of the cards! I learned a lot about how to format and prep digital canvases for making a card deck, too lol

Yuuri: Wow... Yurio really hates us.

Viktor: Maybe he's homophobic.

Yuuri: But we're not a couple.

Mari: You're not?

Viktor, *under his breath*: Maybe not yet.

Wake up babe, new fic dropped.

Let me know what you think <3

Yet, as the competition concluded and Yuuri stood proudly with his gold medal—determined to have Viktor kiss it—the strain became too much. Yuuri’s body decided it was time. He turned to his right, where Seung-gil Lee stood with his silver medal, looking like he was so bored that he could probably split his mouth open while yawning, felt his world tilt, and collapsed.

[capsensislagamoprh]

Head cannon nonsence:

Shit two dork assed teenagers did at the onsen because they are idiots who respect there elders/ actually like Yuuri's parents.

Cleaned the gutters: Otabek cleaned them, Yuri mostly took the bags of stuff to where they needed to go.

Fell asleep on the roof: Victor was getting to Yuri. Otabek wanted to read in peace. He went to the roof. Yuri followed. Sleep happened.

Almost fell off the roof: See previous entry and know that Yuri almost rolled off. Fortunately, Otabek has great reflexes to make up for his lesser dexterity.

Cleaned out the storage room: Everyone else kept getting caught up in sentimental memories. Yuri was for burning it all, so Otabek actually did the sorting. This was great fun. Turns out Yuuri has a lot of old clothes he saved, and they found his poster collection. Victor is delighted.

Change light bulbs: Yuri standing on Otabek's shoulders makes them about teen feet tall-ish. Mari walked along with them. Yuri pulled out old ones, handed it to Otabek, who handed it to Mari. Mari handed Otabek a new light bulb, who handed it to Yuri, who put it in and closed the fixture where ever needed. Otabek's shoulders hurt after the whole onsen was done but wont say a word. Just rolls them a few times.

Dust the high places: Same dynamic as above, only with a feather duster and cloth. Otabek's shoulders need a break, but it's good stamina and weight lifting training.

Clean and polish the Katsuki's car: This was mostly to impress on Yuri how much time vehicle maintenance takes, but they gave the boy a hose and someone to turn it on, and if that someone happens to be very hot dripping wet and about to get vengeance, well that's just a bonus. You know once water gets involved, Victor and Yuuri get in there too because fun times will be had by all.

Accidentally on purpose teach a bunch of seagulls how to terrorize rude tourists for french fries: Look, Otabek is deviously patient, and once Yuri finds that out he will find a way to turn those traits to evil. Like asking Otabek how to get vengeance on someone who was rude to Mrs. Katsuki. Yuri wont stand for it. French fry lured seagulls, Otabek says with a straight face, because of course he does. What's that? Well, you lure seagulls one french fry at a time to the aria where rude tourists usually gather so they are haggard by said avian for food, thus giving them a shuddering terror of the birds every time they have a meal outside. Parking lots near coastal towns will never be the same.

Get told not to lure seagulls with french fries: they are amassing an army and it's starting to scare people.

Climb a lamp post: This is mostly a dare. Until Yuri can't get down. Otabek helps him, but they never speak of how long it took for Yuri to get back to ground level again because he was afraid to let go of the pole until he knew Otabek would catch him. It becomes an inside joke. May or may not be why the Russian skate team keeps trying to get Otabek to catch them. (Only Yuri is allowed this privileged.)

Discover Otabek is an absolute heater when he's asleep: Storms knock power out. Generator needed for fridge and such. It gets cold. Only room with heat? Yuri and Otabek's. Why? Because Otabek fell asleep hours ago, and radiates that pleasant sleepy warm like he was a small fusion star. Woke up wondering why he is surrounded by people laying on him, and questioning if he's allowed to move to go do morning things. Manages to find a way. Thirty minutes latter everyone else wakes up because all that heat dissipated quickly. It's okay. Powers back on a few hours latter.

Figure out exactly how many M&Ms Yuri can fit in his mouth: 37. He drools after that.

Discover Otabek's reading glasses actually make him hotter and that's an absolute fucking sin: look, he's just trying to do his homework, okay? Collage credits don't amass themselves.

Find out Otabek is a math dork: He and Yuri are watching ice skating play backs with Mari. Otabek is writing out equations absently mindedly as they do. When asked: it's the equations of the skaters jumps and spins. He's working out how to improve them per individual skater. For funzies. Yuri is both impressed and disgusted. No one should like math this much. And if they do, they shouldn't help the enemy. Otabek tells Yuri how to get higher on his quad and suddenly this is the best thing ever. Victor hears. Yuuri is impressed. Otabek winds up on the roof again, trying to escape. No, he is not going to school for maths.

Discover Yuri is actually a pretty good cook. Once he gets over the disgust of spots on vegetables, and figures out how to use a knife (thanks for that Mr. Katsuki, JJ is DOOMED), he's very methodical (perfectionist) so while it takes him longer, it turns out right most times.

Scare the living shit out of people: It's the three am five miles out, five miles back jog Otabek dose every day he can. Yuuri finds out and joins him. Makes breakfast taste better, they say. Yuri thinks they are nuts. Not for the running. For three am.

I got more, but honestly, I have so So SO much for these ice babies.

Yuri On Ice

5/2/2024

Masterlist

Title: Fields of Gold

Author: Haro

Words: 14,594

Chapters: 1

Completed?: Yes

"It’s difficult to believe that he’s inspired people like this; that children and teenagers in Japan and around the world lace up their skates or put on skates for the first time and think of Yuuri Katsuki, just like they think of or thought of Victor Nikiforov. He almost can’t take it. It’s too unbelievable. He’s just… Yuuri, after all.

Yuuri Katsuki with a stack of gold medals is still just Yuuri Katsuki.

He can imagine Victor repeating the same words back to him with his own name and how he’d argue that is absolutely not the case, and he laughs inwardly a bit at that.

(The story in which Yuuri Katsuki wins everything there is to win and retires as Japan's living legend, because he's incredible and beautiful and he deserves it. Aka 'Yuuri wins all the gold', the fic.)"

-- -- -- -- --

A fic where Yuuri wins all the gold, with amazing detail and storytelling!

chapter 2: people to see

Mari comes in from her last cigarette of the night, locking the front door behind her and turning off the lights before making her way upstairs. She stops on the way to her room, her eyes catching an unusual ray of light from beneath Yuuri’s door.

It’s relatively late by her standards, which means it’s even later by her athlete of a little brother’s, especially after he’s just come home from a competition and is still dealing with the infamous West to East jetlag.

She purses her lips and tries to decide what to do.

[capsensislagamoprh]

My brain has once again a headcannon.

At the onsen, because where the fuck else would they be, about early o'clock in the morning. Victor and Yuuri are looking for Yuri and Mari because Hiroko needs Mari for something and in general when Yuri goes missing it's an issue™. Victor calls Yuri's phone. It goes off, so Victor follows the sound. Turns out it's in the room Yuri and Otabek are sharing, as they do.

Otabek: reaches over to picked up Yuri's phone. Otabek: Sees it's Victor calling. Otabek: Dismisses the call. Otabek: Unlocks the phone, calls himself. Otabek: Umhum. (phone noises) Yes. (phone noises) Victor called you. Are you supposed to be doing something? (phone noises) Alright.

Victor: pops his head in, thinking Yuri is hiding in there

Otabek: sitting on the floor with a physics and medical book about him Otabek: clearly is doing homework, wearing his very fashionable reading glasses (he's not trying to ruin his eyes with excessive strain, alright?)

Otabek: No. (phone noises) Umhum. (phone noises) Usual. (phone noises) Otabek: turns and looks Victor dead in the eyes Otabek: Mari would like to know if you want anything from the bakery.

Yuuri (from nowhere): Oh My Gawd Yes! Red bean paste buns, and cream buns, and the fruit tarts, and -

Otabek: Get a wide variety, and - Otabek: looks back at Victor

Victor: Double shot cappuccino?

Otabek: You got that? (phone noises) Good. (phone noises) No. (phone noises) Yes, you may. (phone noises) Inside upper left pocket. (phone noises) Same as usual. (phone noises) Are you plotting something I should be aware of? (phone noises) Then no. (phone noises) ETA? (phone noises) Okay. (phone noises) Alright. (phone noises) Yes. (phone noises) Okay. Otabek: Hangs up. Looks at Victor and Yuuri Otabek: Twenty minutes. Otabek: Casually locks, and puts Yuri's phone back.

Victor: So... you can unlock his phone?

Otabek: Yes.

Victor: And is there anything on there I should be aware of?

Otabek: I am not going to show you the blackmail folder. He's already told you no.

Victor: pouts

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Other side of that conversation: Mari catches Yuri coming back from the bathroom at crack ass of dawn early, dragging him off to help her with some minor chores. He grabs Otabek's hoodie because reasons. It's larger and warmer, and has bigger pockets. That it smells very like someone and is pleasant and - SHUT UP!

Yuri: after several errands, now standing in line with Mari at the bakery Yuri: phone goes off Yuri: unlocks and answers phone Yuri: Phone was in your hoodie, huh? (phone noises) Was someone trying to get a hold of me? (phone noises) No. Why? Did he say something? What shit is he making up now? I'm not doing shit. It's my day off. (phone noises) Yuri: moves up in line, looking over selections Yuri: Dose it seem super important? (phone noises) You want anything from here? Coffee, right? (phone noises) Great. (phone noises) Mari: Hey! Is that my brother? Ask him if he wants something. Yuri: God woman, right in my ear. Did you get that? (phone noises) Yuri: eyes wide as he hears the litany from the other side Yuri: The hell? I am not lugging the whole place back there! (phone noises) Yeah, okay, I can do that. (phone noises) OH COME ON! Don't ask him - Yuri: listens Yuri: Yes, FINE! (phone noises) Shit. I left my stuff in my jacket. Fuck! I am going kill someone. (phone noises) It's to damned early for this! *sigh* Do you mind if I use yours? (phone noises) Great! Where is it? (phone noises) Yuri: feels about for hidden inner pocket. Yuri: Got it! What's the pin? (phone noises) Are you looking to be robbed? Why don't you have different ones for everything! You should. (phone noises) What?! I mean, I could, but no. (phone noises) I wouldn't do that. To you. (phone noises) Depends on if this line moves. I'd say maybe twenty? (phone noises) Anyway, I'll get the usual, and something for the old man and katsudon. (phone noises) Mari will help me bring it back. See you soon. (phone noises) Are you almost done with that homework? (phone noises) Good, I want to go sight seeing. You're going with me. (phone noises) Yuri: hangs up and helps Mari get the orders Yuri: pays with Otabek's black card Mari: doesn't even blink but dose order extra stuff and the largest coffee because why wouldn't she
