What do I need to offer the skate gods to get Ice Adolescence I’m just asking  In the meantime I never have drawn Victor in his performance costume before! So I can check that off the list now :D
The collab with @cerisebio-art continues today with the masquerade ball!
Title: Red Cuffs of Fate Rating:E Chapters:3/11 Summary: Just one touch is all it takes to find your soulmate. That first brush of skin on skin contact leaves a stain, marks embedded in the skin. They call it fate. Fate bringing you to the person you are meant to be with. Katsuki Yuuri never believed in fate. And if fate really was real, then it was crueller than Yuuri could have ever anticipated. It was his first job as detective; hunting down the ever elusive Mercury, a thief who got his kicks from simply getting away with the crime. Yuuri had gotten close. Really close. And then he noticed the mark of the soulmate bond on his hand.
But, fate wasn’t real and Yuuri could resist Mercury’s advances no matter how charming and sweet he was… right?

It should’ve been obvious. Looking back on it, Yuuri wasn’t sure how he hadn’t thought of it before. The annual Cialdini ball was the perfect target for Mercury’s antics. It was an event that came around every year, one that brought together the richest members of the public for one evening. That meant that Mercury would have his pick of prizes in that building. It would be tricky. There would be plenty of security, but that hadn’t deterred Mercury in the past. There was just one problem. This year, it was a masquerade ball.
Mercury was going to be able to hide in plain sight. His mask would only help him blend in. Besides, that suit did make him seem like he’d come straight from a ball. He was going to be harder to find, and harder to catch. But, this was Yuuri’s chance. It was a chance to put an end to this quickly. Yuuri had officers scattered throughout the building, hidden as guests for the party.
Cialdini had been surprisingly accommodating. Yuuri was expecting to have to fight for this opportunity, but the moment he’d explained the situation to Cialdini, he’d offered to help before Yuuri had even begun to explain the plan. The only stipulation was to at least attempt to do this quietly. Yuuri could understand that. Cialdini’s annual balls were an important business opportunity, a chance to make business relationships. It made sense that he didn’t want to leave his guests with a bad impression.
Yuuri had been standing in the corner of a room filled with people far above his station for hours. He watched as they laughed over expensive wine and made small talk, occasionally exchanging business cards. As the time went by, some of the people would split off, moving to the center of the room to dance. Yuuri stayed quiet, vigilant as he watched, waiting to see something he recognised, but he hadn’t caught sight of Mercury. The wine flute in his hand had been for nothing but show. Yuuri knew what he was like with a few drinks in his system. Not now. No matter how bad his nerves were, he couldn’t afford to drink.
In collaboration with Cerise, my fic for @viktuuriangstbang has finally begun posting!

Blue light danced into the room, bleeding through the sheer curtains and illuminating the darkness. The rhinestones on his mask glimmered in the light, the tinted gleam painting all the way along his jawline as he focused his gaze on the blade in his hand. His azure eyes scanned along the edge of the metal, and as he reached the sharp point, the light switched from deep blue to brilliant red.
As if using it as his cue, the silence in the room was broken by the sound of the blade being snapped back into the cover of its handle. The red and blue light flashed back and forth again and again outside and he continued to open and close the switchblade absentmindedly as he waited. The plan was set in motion, everything had worked out just fine, but now he was stuck waiting for the police to make their next move. Unfortunate, really. This was the boring part.
A muffled whimper broke him from his thoughts. He sighed, kicking his feet up onto the desk in front of him and lounging back in his chair as he watched his frightened hostage. On the other side of the desk, she was tied to a chair of her own, a gag keeping her from crying out for help. The fear in her eyes was obvious as she stared back at him.
At least we know victor and yuri are still engaged after all these years
Had some people asking about the translation, i was only commenting on the engagement ring yuri is still wearing, the actual post is only commenting on the fact yuri is still a professional ice skater in 2022 which could indicate we may finally get ice ado soon
