Victuuri Soulmate AU

A Glimpse of You by Allekha | G | Yuuri/Victor | 9k

A Voice in the Distance by torikabori | T | Yuuri/Victor | 17k WIP

In which a soulmate connection has three parts: a shared heartbeat, some secondhand emotions, and a sense of when your soulmate is looking at you.

Each has its inconveniences– especially when one half of the pair is famous, the other has anxiety, and they’re born several timezones apart.

When you’re born, you have the first words your soulmate says to you on your arm. When they say them to you, they turn red and you get another set of words that change your relationship with your soulmate. Viktor’s first set is in Japanese and he doesn’t understand, but the second is “Be my coach, Viktor”.

He has the second set for 10 years before he finally hears them.

All That I’ve Got by MadamRed | T | Yuuri/Victor | 11k

Once you meet the person you’re destined to be with for life, and the more you interact with them, your soulmate’s favourite thing about you starts appearing somewhere on your body, as if you were, very slowly, getting a tattoo.

But not everyone is lucky when it comes to timing. Viktor Nikiforov, for example, started getting his mark at 17. It appeared on his foot of all places; a burning sensation that made him miss a jump during a competition.

Viktor’s soulmark starts to grow when he’s 25 and researching his competitors for the upcoming Grand Prix Final, and spends the Sochi Olympics trying to figure out who his soulmate is, just to get it wrong.

And then he gets it right.

Turns out, figuring out the who was just the beginning.

“The Rostelecom Cup is the day after my birthday,” Yuuri said. “Okay?” Phichit said, sounding confused. “The day after my twenty-first birthday,” he finished. “Oh, shit.” Yuuri nodded. “Oh, shit.”

Soulmate AU in which you learn vague bits of information about your soulmate throughout your life.

Marks by Drfanfare | NR | Yuuri/Victor | 18k WIP

Soulmate AU Where whatever is written on you appears on your soulmates skin. This is based on the fic “Unwritten” by Kaizuka.

Viktor spent much of his early years waiting for ink to appear on his skin, signaling the existence of his soulmate. When it didn’t come, he threw himself into his skating. But with the pressure to succeed, it becomes harder to do it alone.

my name is viktor nikiforov by thishasbeencary | T | Yuuri/Victor | 5k

Soulmates are telepathically linked to each other, but can only hear the other’s thoughts when they’re in close proximity. Viktor Nikiforov’s soulmate isn’t Russian, but Japanese, and he can’t understand a single word that they think. Other than his name.

Names by DefiantDreams | T | Yuuri/Victor | 6k

Yuuri has five Names.

One on his nape: พิชิต

Another going down his left side: ソラ

One underneath his right pectoral: Acel

Another on the sole of his right foot: Юрий

And his personal favorite: Виктор, right at the curve of his left hip.

[Do we really only have one, singular soulmate? Out of 7.2 billion people in the world, how can there only be one person for you? No, instead, there are several people who are right for you at any given time and in many different ways, and there are some who are just more right for you than others.

A trilogy on worlds where soulmate identifiers change, worlds where people have multiple soulmate identifiers and worlds where soulmate marks change as you do.]

Need It the Most by rougeandtonic | T | Yuuri/Victor | 5k

In which Victor and Yuuri switch places right before the Sochi GPF free skate.

—————–

Victor had never thought he would be desperate enough for his soul to call out so strongly to its mate that they literally switched bodies.

But, apparently, he is.

And, whoever this Japanese skater is whose soul had called back out to Victor’s, Victor is going to love him and take care of him and give him everything he deserves.

Starting with the skating he deserves.

On Love: Soulmates by Oliver_966 | T | Yuuri/Victor | 29k

In this world everyone has a soulmate, and everyone has their soulmates name printed on their wrists either from birth, or from the moment their soulmate is born. Everyone’s soulmates name changes colors to tell their soulmate how they’re feeling.

Everyone is destined to meet their soulmate, although not everyone does.

Yuuri is sure that unless he can get on the podium and be Victors equal, he will never truly meet his soulmate, as Victor is so much more important than him.

At least that’s what he thinks.

Written by dreameh | T | Yuuri/Victor | 2k WIP

Nearly everybody is born with a soulmate. A person and their soulmate can write on their body anywhere and have it on their other half’s body in the exact same spot.

This is the story of Katsuki Yuuri and his soulmate, who doesn’t even know of his existence until he had almost given up all hope of finding his other half.

how to live life like a ghibli film

1. go out in nature more. every studio ghibli film has some aspect of nature intertwined with the storyline. sometimes its hard to get the energy to go outside, but just going out on your deck or opening the window in your room or taking a walk around the block is enough. if you feel like it, go for a hike! go into the woods and look at every flower, and every tree. look at the mushrooms and streams and notice the beauty of them. look at nature like you’ve never seen it before. wake up at 4 and watch the sunset. put plants around your room. realize how beautiful the world is around you. appreciate it. 

2. get a hobby! this step is certainly easier said than done, but its so worth it. struggling with mental illness makes it especially hard to get a hobby, but its very important that you don’t spend the majority of your time on social media. Start small. If you want to start drawing get a coloring book and fill in a picture with beautiful markers! If you want to write find a random prompt online, give yourself 30 minutes and see what you can come up with. Want to try baking? Start with an easy recipe, like chocolate chip cookies, and share them with your family or friends, or just yourself! Try out a bunch of hobbies, and see what you like best. Maybe you like making jewelry or writing poems or creating digital collages or making video edits or decorating your room or riding a bike or sewing or reading. The possibilities are endless, and getting a hobby you enjoy is very important, and fun.

3. start appreciating small things and noticing details. I don’t know how to explain this step, but in studio Ghibli films, small things always stick out. There are beautiful tiny details that make the story so much more magnificent. small details make the studio Ghibli films what they are. maybe on your way to school/work the sky was a really pretty color. Or the tea you made in the morning was perfectly steeped. appreciate small details of life that you don’t normally notice.

4. appreciate food. Pay attention to your food. If you can, try and make/bake your own food! But if you can’t, just be mindful of your food. Try not to eat while you’re on your phone. Dedicate times to just eating. Appreciating the food in front of you. Make yourself the ponyo drink with milk and honey, or ponyo ramen! Make yourself your own blend of tea like the Baron!

5. be kind and help others. Being kind doesn’t have to be a grand gesture, it can be smiling and waving at a baby in a café, or helping your mom finish the dishes, or paying for a friend’s coffee. Small gestures not only put good out into the world, but they also make you feel better. When you can, help others. Try volunteering at an animal shelter, or babysit for your aunt without charging her, or just listen to your friend when they’re going through something and be there for them. In every Ghibli film, the main character is always helping others, and being kind. Try to be like kiki, when she returned the pacifier to the mother who forgot it, or like chizuru from the cat returns, who risks her life to save a cat. Kindness comes in all shapes and forms, so just try your best to do what you can!

6. be your most authentic self. Stay true to who you are. dress how you’d like. Cut your hair like you’ve always wanted to. Stay confident and true to yourself. We all feel insecure sometimes, but we need to remind ourselves that we are great. Don’t try and force yourself to be someone you aren’t. Kiki felt insecure in her abilities as a witch, but she stayed true to herself, and believed in herself, and it paid off. Love and appreciate yourself, just the way you are.

7. (not really a tip but a fun suggestion) start collecting something! This is just an extra step that I wanted to include because I think its nice. But start a collection of things that interest you. It could be anything! Candles, stamps, teacups, antique figurines, 19th century photos, lip balms, books, key chains, flowers, hats. The choices are endless.

Back on my bullshit.

Rewatching parts of YOI for fanfic inspo and noticed this very brief expression of shock Victor shows right when Yuuri leans his forehead intimately against Victor’s before the short program in episode 6.

Love the contrast between Yuuri’s determined, assertive face and Victor’s astounded blush. It drives me nuts when I read fics where Victor is the only forward one in the relationship. It takes a bit for Yuuri to get revved up, but once he is, he gets Victor (and honestly everyone else in the room) to quake in his very expensive shoes.

In other words, he shook.

We all shook.

But in a good way.

a freshly married, still in his wedding shirt with the sleeves rolled up halfway his forearms yuuri katsuki-nikiforov, sweeping his kimono clad husband off his feet to carry him over the proverbial threshold to the smitten squeal of said husband’s surprised laughter and a very warm, very loving “wow, yuuri, amazing!”

Confession: I want Garrus to tie me up with my legs spread and then fuck me hard and deep. I don’t get untied until he cums inside me and gives me a massive creampie.

She was not fragile like a flower; She was fragile like a bomb.

Poetry At Most

-While it is disheartening to see that this quote has been misattributed to so many other authors by companies only looking to gain profit, I am humbled to see how many lives it has touched. Though it’s meaning is individual to each of us, it was originally written to remind us all of the fire that burns inside of us and the immensity that we are capable of. I am forever grateful to all of you for your kind words over the years, and I hope you continue to recognize your ability to spark change, in a world that still needs so much of it.
