Summary
Otabek looks at him like his eyes don’t matter, raises a single fucking eyebrow like he’s saying -
Yeah, I’ve got monsters too, let’s pull them out and play -
Like Yuri’s the one with the problem here, two sizes too small for the trappings of his skin.
Yuri smokes too much, drinks hard from bottles in colours he can’t keep track of, rides every edge he can find because it’s easier to chase a high than to stop and think, for one second, that if the eyes are the window to the soul, then what is it in him that died and is rotting?
(Or: the powered assassins AU in which Yuri has emotional attachment Issues™, Otabek is long-suffering, and they skirt around a four-letter word that begins with L.)
Set in the same 'verse as our doubts are traitors, but functions well as a standalone.

Summary
The cards that accompany the gifts all end on the same note -
You’re the first person I’ve ever wanted to hold on to.
The thing is -
Victor is kind. Victor is funny, and sweet, and warm and wonderful and isolated and lonely, and -
Yuuri thinks he might be a little bit in love.
(A lot.)(A Canon Divergence, Secret Admirer!AU written as a gift fic for the eternally patient look-and-wonder.)

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.)

Summary
Yuuri overflows with the weight of things that have been said, trembles with what remains.
Their shared zeroes flicker in time, the early morning light muting the red glow to faint numbers. In the amber dawn, an idol is only just a man.
(Or: the Soulmate Timers AU where things happen out of order, secrets are kept, revelations are had, and they arrive where they need to be in the end.)

Summary
The sun glints off their twin gold bands, the band strikes up their first dance, and together, they follow each other into the rest of their lives.

Summary
John isn’t scared of Sherlock or of the adults around them. But he is scared of this Message. He is scared he’ll be there, in two years, right next to Sherlock, watching and unable to do a damn thing when he dies.
Because the true Message was, “Don’t expect to make a career out of this interpreter thing. I’ll die in two years.”
For the first time in his life, John wishes he’d never taken the Cassandra Tests.

Summary
"For John, it's not a bullet that throws his existence into disarray – it's a bite."
In a world where twelve percent of the population are Mactiri - people with the ability to turn into wolves at will - John finds himself struggling with a new and horrifying existence. The victim of a shocking attack, he is discharged from the army and sent home, determined never to acknowledge what he can now become.
However, when his health starts to fail, it is up to his enigmatic new flatmate to show him that perhaps his life is not the nightmare John believes it to be.

John Watson lives day-to-day in the crowded slums of Zone 13. He never imagined living any differently—until he meets the practically-immortal Sherlock, and helps him on a case to track a local time-thief...
