    Summary

    One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.

    (A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

    Summary

    “Link! You’re hurt!”

    “I’m fine, Sid—”

    “In the mouth of a demon dragon? Absolutely not, you were nearly crunched!” Sidon whirls around. “Quickly! Does somebody have a healing elixir for His Majesty?”

    His Majesty.

    His Majesty.

    And that’s when Zelda realizes—it’s not her Sidon and the Royal Guard are addressing.

    It’s Link.

    ___

    Six months after the Upheaval, a weakened and dismayed Link appears in Zora's Domain.

    With no sign of Zelda, Impa follows the wish of Hyrule's previous sovereign, and names him king.

    Summary

    “We never discussed ground rules,” Zelda said matter-of-factly. “And we really should have.”

    Link didn’t say anything, waiting for her to continue.

    “Obviously, no one can know it’s a ruse,” Zelda said. “If anyone finds out, my father will call off his blessing, and both of us will be back to square one.”

    Link nodded.

    Zelda suddenly felt too warm, and she decided to shuffle over to her desk, which was a good distance from Link, and dig around for a piece of paper and a quill. “It’ll be good for us to write it out,” she said, more for herself than for Link, who sat on the other side of her desk expectantly.

    Why did he look like he was waiting to get marching orders? Like he might have been almost eager for it?

    She focused on writing out the first rule. “Rule number one, no one can know.” She penned the words carefully. “We have to look genuinely head over heels for each other.”

    Summary

    In nearly every way (except the most notable), the Princess of Hyrule was the Goddess incarnate. For that reason alone, it was a little ingenious for the King to offer up his daughter’s hand to whoever was able to pull the sword.

    Link hadn’t meant to pull the sword. He planned to watch as his comrades pulled with all their might, perhaps even tease a few about how it was all for the better that the sword didn’t budge, because surely no Princess could ever love their ugly mugs, and then get into a good old-fashioned wrestling match with their bruised egos after one too many jokes. But it hadn’t mattered what he had in mind; Link’s plans be damned. The Goddess had already plucked him out of obscurity and set him along Her own path.

    Summary

    “Do you still think of him?”

    They ask this question all the time. Every interview, every competition—it always comes up one way or another. The words change sometimes, articles and verbs trading places and finding new identities as they spill from the mouths of reporters, friends, and family, but the question is always, always the same beneath the crushed veneer of wordplay.

    And every time, Yuuri lies. He lies through his teeth.

    “No,” he says. A tight-lipped smile. “Not anymore.”

    (When tensions run high at the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang, Viktor and Yuuri end up breaking off their engagement, much to the shock of the rest of the world. Four years later, Yuuri is preparing Minako's nephew for the 2022 Olympics in Beijing and Viktor is doing the same for Yuri Plisetsky, and no one is really all right with the situation at all.)

    (Currently under revision.)

    Summary

    So Yuuri waited, felt his heart edge back down from his throat as Victor let him catch his bearings, as he just sat and watched Yuuri calm down, patient even though the time he was paying for was ticking.

     

    “Strip for me, Yuuri.” came his first instructions in the lull of silence, the same words he always got, and this is how it always began.

    Summary

    Scaramouche picks up his glass and holds it up to the light, staring at the amber rays that filter through. The shadow of his hat lifts off his face for a moment, letting his dark eyes catch the light. “If I’m a monster, then you’re a monster too, Outlander.”

    Two uncomfortably similar people find themselves on adjacent bar stools; or, an alien and a puppet walk into a bar.

    Summary

    “Sometimes, I hate you,” she says. “Sometimes I meet your eyes and I dream of taking my sword and stabbing right through them.”

    He tilts his head. Takes in the steel of her eyes. “Likewise,” he says blandly.

    “Really?”

    What could he offer her? A disparaging smile? A chipped mask? The man who used to call himself Scaramouche rolls his jaw, deliberating the merits of lying. None that mattered. Not now, anyway, with so little to lose. His throat arches back, another mouthful of fire-water, and says: “No.”

    A wanderer, a traveller, and the confessions that unfurl when alcohol overflows.

    Summary

    And he wonders, if he were to go to her now, wake her up from her slumber, and demand that she help him, would she refuse him?

    Lumine doesn’t ever refuse.

    No, he decides. She wouldn’t. If he asked, she’d perhaps be amused. And then she would smile and nod—as she always does.

    But the thought only serves to make him more miserable; lumped together with all the other pathetic people trying to cling onto her, only for her to gently shake them off like flakes of dust that’s been collecting for too long on her skin.

    or: how to keep love casual.

    Summary

    His real name settles at the tip of your tongue as you fight the instinct to call him such. It’s found a home in your mind since you’d suffered his memories, warping your perception of him from one of distaste to empathy. Like it or not, you understand him now. Perhaps more than anyone else could.

    Summary

    Victor learns Japanese while in Hasetsu. He doesn't tell Yuuri, and things get dicey when he overhears Yuuri and Mari talking about him in Japanese. Repeatedly.

    (The subtitle of this fic should be: Victor Nikiforov really needs a hug. Luckily, he gets one. Eventually.)

    ~~~

    “No,” Victor says, skating up to Yuuri on the ice, “you have to push all the way from here, or you’ll never get the height you need for that axel.” He sets his hand on Yuuri’s ass, tracing the muscle group he’s referring to. “Not here.” He taps Yuuri’s thigh. He doesn’t know the words for the muscles in English, only knows how to show him.

    Yes, technically he’s grabbing Yuuri’s ass, but how else is he to communicate?

    Summary

    My dearest Yuuri,

    I will be conducting my travels back with the most dazzling of companions, a pretty young lady who has entirely captivated my heart. I cannot wait for you to meet, for nothing would delight me more than the two dearest things in my life becoming the best of friends.

    Ever yours,
    Viktor
    It remains a miracle Yuuri has yet to toss the letter into the fire. His heartbreak is, of course, through no fault but his own. Viktor has never been anything more than a dear friend despite Yuuri’s many late-night longings, caught up in shameful fantasies the hazy witching hours so cruelly brought with it.

    Summary

    The set of Yuuri’s mouth softened into a private smile as Victor squeezed his knee beneath the table. His hands were bare, free from the gloves he so often wore when they were together on the rink, and the heat of his palm burned straight through the denim of Yuuri’s jeans. He slipped his own hand beneath the table and found Victor’s. Hidden from sight, their fingers began to flirt and play. A secret conversation all their own that needed no words.

    Yuuri was aware that at some point—a moment in time he couldn’t quite place—Victor had become his boyfriend.

    There wasn’t a single instant when it happened. It was a slow awareness, as if Victor had silently been asking the question for months now, and Yuuri had been giving him the answer a little more with each passing day.
