Summary
Viktor had forgotten when he had last felt the rush of adrenaline giving way to drunken euphoria.
As the photographers raised their cameras, he hid the emptiness in his heart behind a dazzling smile, sculptured to perfection in two decades of competitive figure skating. Flashlights ripped through the arena like sheet lightning on a murky summer night. Viktor swept back his hair and lifted the golden disk that hung heavy around his neck to his lips. A collective sigh rippled through the crowd as he performed the ritualistic kiss of his medal. Viktor flashed the press another star-smile. Then he hopped off the podium.Twenty years of being Russia’s poster athlete have drained Viktor Nikiforov off the passion he once had held for his sport, but caught up in duty and habit he cannot escape the icon he has become. Thoughts of retirement cross his mind when a drunken Japanese Cinderella dances into his life, stirring a dream of life and love beyond scores and medals. But that which sets his heart on fire also holds the power to throw Viktor into an even darker state of mind.
This canon story covers the four months between the GPF and Viktor deciding to become Yuuri’s coach.

Summary
Miserable and alone, Viktor is unable to forget about Yuuri after a magical night spent together at the Royal Banquet. So he takes the only logical step a pining mer prince can make: strike a deal with the royal Sea Witch in order to find his beloved. But unfortunately for Viktor, love and magic are not a game, especially when the object of one's affection is determined not to play. And what he could end up finding out about Yuuri may become a deal breaker.
-
Yuuri, a lonely Sea Witch who works his magic in secret, is determined to never see Viktor again. But late one night he is awoken by a friend, who is terrified that the young mer prince has gotten himself lost in his attempts to find Yuuri again. Although scared of what another meeting might bring, Yuuri sets out to find Viktor before anything can happen to him.
The two find each other again - but not in ways either of them expected, and with consequences neither of them could have ever anticipated.
[Or: the story of a Sea Witch who helps a prince learn how to save himself, all while hopelessly falling in love along the way]

Summary
Katsuki Yuuri is an okay skater with a few fans, none of which he’s made a significant impact on. Or so he thought. When he finds out he has fan mail, he is skeptical but it ends up changing his season. He has people who look up to him and are rooting for him. He can’t let them down.
And when he receives a nice passive aggressive letter from a teenager in Russia, he never imagined he would gain a friend out of it.
Yuri Plisetsky was not expected a response when he wrote a letter to his favorite skater. He just had to tell him that his skating was good and he better up the difficulty before Yuri kicked his ass in seniors.
But Yuuri responded and wanted him to write back, in fact they kept writing letters back and forth. He was becoming friends with his idol.
And somehow Yuuri had gotten him to sympathize with the silver haired idiot. Maybe Viktor was more sad then he let on...
This season was going to be different, skating, friends, relationships, and family.
‘Dear Yuuri Katsuki,
Your skating is not terrible.
Well that was one way to start a letter...’
