Yuuri’s never before had to explain himself after teleporting into his idol’s home. He supposes there’s a first time for everything. Every goddamn embarrassing thing.
It’s 1895*, and Victor Nikiforov and Yuuri Katsuki are two men who are somehow both under the impression that the other is the suitor in their game of seduction.
Basically, two idiots enter into mutual pining and don’t understand that someone has to make the first move.
*Homophobia and sexism don’t exist in this Victorian AU because NOPE.
Restaurateurs Yakov Feltsman, Lilia Baranovskaya, Celestino Cialdini, and Josef Karpisek are about to celebrate the ten year anniversary of their high-concept, lauded craft cocktail and fine dining establishment, Grand Prix. While finishing a dance degree at the AMDA, Katsuki Yuuri began working there so he could move out of the dorms and maybe have some cash to blow. Years later and unable to catch a break when he auditions, he’s still there as a bartender. The money’s good, the regulars too, and he takes enough pride in his work he honed his craft reading up on Victor Nikiforov, a former protégé of Yakov’s.
Then one day, Victor becomes the new bar manager and everything goes sideways, upside down, and ends up how it should.
People in the audience would crane their necks to watch Yuuri sit and calmly sip his drink. He’d raise the glass to his lips and down its contents slowly, as if the gold liquid was honey and not champagne. Or he’d get a cocktail and drink it through a straw in a way that would make the men around him break out into a cold sweat. Then he’d cross his legs and recline in his seat and it didn’t matter what was happening on the stage: every eye in the room was on him. The regulars often said that no one could cross their legs like Eros did.
That night he sat in his usual spot and watched the stage with unseeing eyes. Two weeks of someone leaving a bouquet of roses would make anyone curious. He’d always find them in the same spot. There were always seven of them. And they always came without a note. But Yuuri knew they were all from the same person.
A Burlesque AU with Yuuri as a performer and Victor as his admirer.
At age fourteen, Katsuki Yuuri had been determined to be Japan’s next great figure skating hope, but with no coach that would never happen, so his ballet instructor packs him up off to Russia to train with Yakov Feltsman. The Yakov Feltsman, otherwise known as the coach to rising figure skating star – and Yuuri’s idol – Viktor Nikiforov.
YK: How are you, Victor? SCP-9874: So are you just going to sit there and make light conversation every single day? YK: Hmm. Maybe. SCP-9874: …Are you joking? YK: Yes. [silence] SCP-9874: Where’s your plan? What are your experimental hypotheses? YK: I don’t really have any. SCP-9874: Then why are you here? YK: Well, the cell door won’t unlock for another…twenty-two minutes. So I’ve got nowhere else to be. SCP-9874: I meant, why are you here at all? What do you want from me? YK: Like I said. I suppose I want to understand you. SCP-9874: Like a psychologist? YK: Oh, god, no. SCP-9874: And your whole plan is to just…sit there? YK: And make light conversation. SCP-9874: Was that a joke? YK: Maybe. Was it funny? SCP-9874: …I don’t know. YK: I’m going to go ahead and call that a win. SCP-9874: Are you writing all of this down? YK: You didn’t tell me not to. SCP-9874: Did you know you’re the most annoying out of all the humans I’ve met so far? YK: I didn’t, but I’ll take it into consideration. SCP-9874: See that you do. And stop scribbling.
