    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.)
