I have never felt more called out in my life

[her-soliloquies]

There are 123 open ao3 tabs on my phone (yes, I counted) and it's such a mess, a chaos really. I cannot even bring myself to close them. Some are from a year or two ago and they are still there, on the off chance that I might read them. It's a pain, and I love it.

My god has forsaken me (ao3 is down)

Opening that one fic in a tab again just to loiter there and spend more time with it

[bimesskaira]

So this is the first poll of a series...maybe...comment if you want me to continue and include different many different fandoms and ships (mxm, fxf, mxf etc.), perhaps even ships in the same Fandoms ?

[abitqueery]

Sometimes you read this very specific fic that just makes you feel the eyes of your ancestors looking at you in shame, horror, and disappointment

I’m sticking with Yuri!!! On Ice for life and might sometimes feel like White Flag by Dido, now that everyone is saying it’s dead and bidding it farewell, but…

I will go down with this ship…

And I will keep writing fanfiction, even if no one comment or reads.

Will try to keep making illustrations, even if I currently suck and haven’t gotten back at 100% of my ability.

And I will keep supporting talented people, who are truly artists, that keep them alive with their craft and create new stories.

And will be a part of the fandom and be here for anyone who wants to keep Yuri!!! On Ice alive. To connect, to chat, to expand and grow YoI.

I won’t put my hands up and surrender, I’m in love and always will be 💖✨✨✨✨✨

I did a lil redraw of happy smitten Viktor.

It’s been ages since I’ve drawn, like… years. So I’m starting with redraws lol also I’ve never done a digital piece so I’m a little more than happy with my first go.

Okay this a total shout into the void but if anyone knows, I need your help finding a fic.

Back in like... 2017? Possibly 2018? Around that time, there was a yuri on ice fic about Viktor finding out he has a son (Yurio) and then finds out Yurio has been adopted by Yuuri, who I believe is some sort of dance instructor in the fic. The whole fic was basically Yuuri and Viktor fighting each other for custody of Yurio because Viktor wants to take Yurio because oh my god he has a son, and Yuuri wants to keep him because on all levels except physical, Yurio is his son.

I found it because someone had posted their fanart of the fic on instagram years ago (and it's been deleted since then ;-;) and I was reading the fic itself on ao3. My friend said she was reading it on tumblr, but I wasn't on Tumblr at the time so I can't verify, but I do know For A Fact it was on ao3.

Other tidbits of information I can remember

Yuuri and Yurio were both living in Russia

Yuuri was I believe 23 and Viktor 27, their canon ages at the time I think, and Yurio was eight.

Yuuri and Yurio are just regular people

Viktor found out because he had gotten a letter from Yurio's dead mom, I can't remember what the letter said exactly beyond "you have a son."

The last chapter I left off on, the media had gotten word of this drama and Viktor's PR team, not Viktor himself, had leaked this information on Yuuri's history of depression and mental health to either pressure him into giving Yurio to Viktor, or just to make a case for future custody battles that Yuuri is unfit to parent Yurio. Viktor himself was actually super pissed off that they did that.

If anyone knows the name, what happened to it, if it ever finished, literally anything, please help a fellow reader out. I'm mostly looking for the name of it, but literally anything is good. Thank you.

EDIT: WE FOUND IT!!!!! It's 'blood is thicker than.' Thank you so much!

favourite ship trope: ball of energy(s) and their constantly tired s/o(s)

[triptychgrip]

I love reading/writing Yuri!!! on Ice stories that center around Viktor's insecurities around his "worthiness" of being w/ Yuuri.

The fandom has (understandably) created tons of content around Yuuri's insecurities, but I find it really compelling to ideate around this "Living Legend" superstar athlete -- who, prior to finding love, built up pretty much his entire life around his career -- and his worry that the love of his life will one day tire of him, especially the closer that Yuuri approaches retirement and no longer needs Viktor to be his coach.

It's the subject of an ongoing post-canon, married Viktuuri story I've been working on, which currently has three chapters out (of five total, but that chapter count could very well increase, lol). You'll see it's part of my larger series, but IMO, you can still enjoy/understand it without reading the other works.

It's a Viktor POV fic, whose premise is that Yuuri (who has now achieved certification to teach group pole dancing classes) one day gets approached by a fellow instructor around teaching one-one-one classes. He mentions this idea to Viktor, but appears underconfident around it, so Viktor volunteers to become his "trial student" in order to help his husband get used to the idea around someone he already knows/is comfortable around.

While the overall story might appear light-hearted (especially b/c this arrangement gives these two ample opportunity to be all flirty and eros with one another), a big theme in the story is Viktor's insecurity around being a beginner/bad at something. It's a concept that he's still not used to, post-retirement: not immediately being an expert at things, and having to accept that he can be bad at something, and still entirely lovable, anyway.

The other element of the story that's been exciting to explore is the idea that Viktor is approaching this arrangement with a somewhat ulterior motive that taps directly into his own insecurities. While, yes, he is ultimately hoping that being Yuuri's student will boost his husband's confidence in his own teaching skills, he also believes that he needs to find more and more ways to "hold" Yuuri's interest, especially given his student's approaching retirement (after the 2022 Beijing Olympics). Once Yuuri retires and no longer needs Viktor as his coach, what could Viktor have to possibly offer him? Maybe if he learns how to pole-dance, his husband will still find him sexy and inspirational and interesting.

It's easy for an outside observer to be like "Viktor, you idiot...Yuuri has been obsessed with you since he was twelve, he's not going to suddenly think you're boring when you're no longer his coach", but that's the thing about insecurities: they're rarely rational, or based in logic. Mine certainly aren't. 

As accomplished and impressive as he is, Viktor still needs reminders that who he is, inherently, is absolutely enough, whether that means he is an expert pole dancer like Yuuri, or a complete novice. A lot of this also taps into my headcanons around Viktor's childhood trauma and strained relationship with his parents, which has given him significant abandonment issues.

Gah, thinking about it really gets me in my feels; I can't wait to finish this WIP up, and hope you all would consider checking it out, now or once it's completed.

Hot take:

Kinda nice when Ao3 down for a bit cuz then I actually read my damn book

[her-soliloquies]

The feeling you get when you like posts with an odd number of likes so that it becomes a round or even number. It really gives me joy when the 689s turn into 690s.
