STORY SUMMARIES
ALRIGHT ARTISTS! READ THROUGH THE SUMMARIES BENEATH THE READ MORE LINE AND PICK YOUR TOP TEN! THEN, FILL OUT THIS FORM! YOU WILL HAVE UNTIL 7PM (EST) TOMORROW TO SEND IN YOUR RESPONSES! GO GO GO!
1.     A one or two shot (depending on exactly how long it ends up being) about fae!victor and seer!yuuri. Basically an urban fantasy au.
2.     A Fantasy/Elven AU one shot where both Yuuri and Victor are elves who accidentally come into contact with strange fey fruits and drinks, leading to an NSFW reaction with their bodies; long story short someone left a fertility fruit where it shouldn't have been lol
3.     A nonlinear narrative about all the times Victor and Yuuri's lives collided, but one thing or another did not work out. An exploration of how chronic anxiety affects a relationship, and how the various threads of their past experiences combine to what they have in the present day (Yuuri's friendship with Phichit, for example-- with the focus being on Victuuri, of course).
4.     Vlogger AU. Victor and Yuuri are both students at the same university. Victor is a fairly popular vlogger and he starts watching the videos of someone called Katsudon, who never shows his face in his videos. Victor tries to strike up an online friendship with him, and though Katsudon is hesitant at first, they grow closer.
5.     I plan on writing something akin to 25 lives comic. Basically, Victor and Yuuri always meet in all possible universes; whatever, whenever, however they meet, all different ways but their souls intertwine and are connected
6.     A modern Greek mythology AU in which the classical "gods" are simply roles and titles. Sometimes when a mortal dies under specific circumstances they are brought back as one of these gods, with the eternal youthfulness and powers to match. However, they are not immortal and can die again--this time for good. Yuuri was recently remade as the innocent "Kore," responsible for springtime and vegetation, but one day found himself in a perilous situation. Though he assumed it would be the moment of his demise, he was rescued by an unknown being. Eventually becoming unsatisfied with his prescribed role, he sets out to find and repay whomever it was that saved him many moons ago, changing his name to "Persephone" along the way. (Or: A modern Hades and Persephone AU.)
7.     At age 5, Victor Nikiforov took his first skating lesson at St. Petersburg and was immediately enthralled by the sport. At age 10, he could easily outperform other skaters his age. Then, during a family trip to a small town in Japan called Hasetsu, Victor met, and befriended a 6 year old boy when he catches the boy staring at him skate at the local ice rink. All Yuuri Katsuki wanted was to have the same physical capabilities as other children his age. The disappointment he felt when his parents told him that he wasn’t allowed to skate anymore because of a disorder tore at his 5 year old heart. He painfully swore that he would distance himself from the ice, but after a year of avoiding Ice Castle Hasetsu, Yuuri found himself missing skating tremendously. He wandered over to the rink, thinking no one would be there, but instead, was greeted by the fluid movements of his idol. The two strike up a close friendship within a day that left Yuuri ecstatic, but pained at the same time; after all, he couldn’t risk even going on the ice. A story that follows the lives of Victor, a young ice-skating prodigy, and Yuuri, a boy suffering from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, as they grow up and tackle the challenge life throws at them.
8.     It's a Phantom Thief AU where both of them are PTs, always after the same thing...and they fall for each other in the process.
9.     Explicit story - canon divergent AU. A few days after Yuri comes in 6th in Sochi he is preparing for Japanese Nationals. That's when the news breaks that Victor Nikiforov was injured in an accident in St. Petersburg and is in a coma, with an unknown prognosis. Yuri devotes the rest of the season to Victor, and wins worlds in his memory. He then retires. Yuri studied photography in Detroit, and starts photographing empty ice rinks, trying to capture the feel for himself of a figure skating world without Victor nikiforov. It starts as a labor of love. He tries to recreate famous photos of the skater, with the same angles, but in the empty rinks. At first he thinks that there is dust or cracks on his lenses. First a dot, then a strand. But as he photographs more of the empty rinks, and no other images feature these artifacts he starts to put it together. With each photograph he gathers more of Victor's scattered soul. As he continues to photograph the rinks soon Victor's soul starts to approach him in his dreams, and later even waking. Naughty stuff starts happening (yep, with a pseudo-ghost :-P ) Eventually Yuri realizes that he can help Victor and after begging Yakov is granted access to the comatose skater, who regains consciousness as the scattered parts of his soul is finally returned to his body. There might be more after, but that's the bulk.
10. Gen audiences story - Victor learns that Yuri used to volunteer at a small dog rescue while in Detroit. They start making extra time after every exhibition or competition to visit local rescues, take photos with the dogs to signal boost the doggos into new homes, and they might start doing charity exhibitions depending on how the story goes.
11. Pilot AU: Victor is Yuuri's student and falls in love with him while training to be a pilot.
12. In Time AU - A world where people stop ageing at 25, and every person has a digital clock on their forearm. On their 25th birthday the clock starts ticking, if their time runs out, they die. Poor people struggle in a world where time is currency, rich people thrive and live forever. Viktor Nikiforov is the unhappy son of 300 year old parents living in Moscow, the capital city of one of the wealthiest timezones in the world. He wants for nothing, the clock on his arm never in danger of stopping. Yuuri Katsuki's family struggles to make enough time to live, each day filled with work at their failing Onsen in Japan. After Yuuri's sister almost dies, his parents send them both away, to better timezones and brighter futures. After an accidental meeting between Yuuri and Viktor, both of their lives change drastically. Because if one of you doesn't have enough time to sleep and the other can live forever, love is the last thing anyone needs.
13. In-the-near-future Video Game AU: Yuuri Katsuki a.k.a Akira is THE top-leveled Sniper in the new groundbreaking Persona MMO. One otherwise uneventful day, he and hundreds of thousands of other players find themselves trapped inside the game. Loosely based on elements of SAO and Log Horizon, and combining aspects of the epic Persona games, Yuuri finds himself with a power he shouldn't have, in a situation that should be impossible, encountering a man he hasn't seen in ten years. It's going to be a long grind to get out of this alive.
14. I plan on writing a goddess/angel AU + reincarnation AU. Victor and Yuuri are both angels/goddesses. They fall in love, but the heaven council doesn't approve of it because they love each other more than god which banishes them. Yuuri pleads that their love is real/pure; that it isn't he product of the devil pushes them off the path. He says that they could prove it. Pitchit, who's pretty high up in the council, lets his emotions get the best of him and manages to convince the council to give them a shot. So they get 10 lives, they have to meet in them all and fall in love at least once.
15. My story is an AU wherein Viktor is a former principal ballet dancer forced into retirement by an accident/injury, ends up living in Detroit and depressed, ends up meeting and falling in love with Yuuri who works teaching ballet to underprivileged youth in Detroit, and through that finds a source of purpose again.
16. When Empress Katsuki is killed during a skirmish on the border with Yugashina, the prince and heir to the throne of Lesnya, Victor, knows that war is only a hair's width away. To no one's actual surprise all negotiations fail, leaving Victor with little to no choice but to gather up their armies and march on Yugashina. That is, unless he can devise a better solution in time. Unless he manages to smooth this out before both their lands fall to ruin. Unless– He finds a way. Two neighbouring countries in a state of tentative peace. Two royal families trying to protect their own people. And only one thing that can save them all – a royal union that will cement loyalty, breed forgiveness and maybe somehow fix things. Love? Romance? Chivalry? No one really has time for that when there's a country to save, a murderer to find and a husband waiting for your mask to slip.
17. YOI in a Psycho-Pass AU! Yuuri is in detention as a latent criminal when his lifelong anxiety clouds his hue. So when Victor, well-known Inspector for the MWPSB's Criminal Investigation Unit, shows up and offers the chance to leave and become an Enforcer, he takes it despite his doubts. He doesn't know that Victor remembers Yuuri from his past before Yuuri became a latent criminal, and that Victor is battling his own demons and doubts. Drawn into a psychological game with a serial killer, they'll have to learn to trust and see each other past the Inspector/Enforcer roles.
18. Summary: Happiness seems to be a fleeting thing in Yuuri’s life. He’s lived a long and happy life married to Victor, they plan to spend the rest of their lives together but for Yuuri that is suddenly much longer and without Victor. Yuuri finds himself back in Detroit, before he met Victor, before he had even competed in his first Grand Prix. He’s ready to go back , do it over again to find the man he loves but in this timeline, Victor loses his battle with depression and commits suicide. Yuuri is devastated, ready to give up himself when he gets sent back again, and again and again. He keeps trying and failing to save Victor but that’s his only goal because for some reason Yuuri has been given a chance to save this universe’s Victor. He can only hope that the Yuuri that has taken his place is making his husband happy.
19. Grand Theft Auto V-inspired AU. Victor is a criminal who fakes his death in order to restart his life on the right side of the law. Yuuri is a young hustler who pays his bills repossessing luxury vehicles for a sleazy car salesman. When a visitor from the past convinces Victor to join one last heist, Victor unexpectedly takes on the protege he never knew he wanted– or needed– when he asks Yuuri for backup.
20. This story is a tale of Yuuri with the dreaded hanahaki disease, and his struggle to cope with it. Excerpt from the story: "As soon as the first petal fell from his lips, grief filled him because he did not have a chance. Love would not fall upon him, because he was not meant to love. He would let the flower bloom. Fill his chest until there was no space left, until flower spilled from his mouth. He knew death awaited him, but he could not bear to stop the flowers from growing. Not when those flowers meant so much to him."
21. After the war, General Victor Nikiforov is sent to Hasetsu, Japan to rest and recover from his injuries. There he is looked after by Yuuri Katsuki, who served as a medic.
22. modern day pride and prejudice au with yuuri as lizzy and victor as darcy
23. Yuuko shows Yuuri the fall fashion show. Yuuri is intrigued by how elegant the models look, and falls in love with how beautiful Victor is, and how he makes the clothes he wears even better. Yuuri decides he wants to learn how to make beautiful clothing like what the models had worn on the catwalk. He learns all that he can from Minako, a retired designer who now runs a bar, and attends a college in Paris, France. He interns at a rising label, where he meets Phichit and Chris. Then the label hires Victor as one of the models for an upcoming show. Cue the crazy antics.
24. Super-cut, volleyball ace Victor Nikiforov crushes on Katsuki Yuuri, the bookish editor of the university newspaper. Unfortunately for him, Yuuri doesn’t even register the Hot Ones anymore — they’re either not interested in him or too damn cocky. He makes friends with them and never imagines anything more. Which frustrates Victor to no end. Why won’t Yuuri look at him, like, ever?
25. Victor fills his life with sweetness – petit fours and sunlight and Yuuri. (Victuuri Bakery/Coffee Shop AU)
26. Alternate Meeting AU After Viktor finishes skating his short program he wants to watch other skaters without being noticed by reporters so he changes into street clothes and puts on a hat to cover his hair. He notices a really cute skater from Japan and gets up the nerve to talk to him. While walking over he steps on something, lifting his foot it revealed a pair of broken blue framed glasses. Feeling bad about breaking the other skaters glasses Viktor offers to be his eyes during the competition. Yuuri can't see well without them so he doesn't realize that he is being led around by the Viktor Nikiforov.
27. Five Times Yuuri Catches/Carries Viktor
28. Soulmate au where everyone is born with a small riddle on the inside of their left wrist. Yuuri has the characters for "love" and "mouth" (愛口) while Victor has the phrase "courage to win" (in Cyrillic). They have no idea who the riddle could refer to and have pretty much accepted that they're never gonna find their soulmate. yuuri gets drunk and Victor flies to hasetsu like in the anime and Victor figures out his riddle before yuuri but doesn't tell him they're soulmates until yuuri also figures it out.
29. Modern Day Anastasia AU
30. Soulmate AU with a twist: if the meeting of soulmates does not go right, a person who is fated to be close to the couple must help them find each other... by reliving the day of meeting as many times as necessary. Yurio gets stuck with the train crash that is Viktor's and Yuuri's first meeting at Sochi.
31. Alternate Meet AU where Vic/Yuuri literally run into each other during warm ups earlier in the Sochi GPF season and develop from that point (details include media uproar about them "falling in love??" with pun intended, and Vic being there to support Yuuri when Vicchan dies).
32. An arranged marriage AU which involves the dancer!yuuri trope. There may be some minor fantasy elements.
33. NSFW fantasy AU
34. Victuri wedding fiasco
35. Tattoo artist Yuuri! Viktor first coming in to get Olympic tattoos then they fall in love and he keeps making excuses to go there.
36. Twenty-year-old Victor and sixteen-year old Yuuri are transported ten years into the future and they switch with their future selves. Their younger selves just wake up one day in their house in Hasetsu. Yurio is also there and he's the one who ends up taking care of them, and making sure they don't get into any trouble or anyone notices that they've been transported from the past. The older ones, meanwhile, are transported in their respective home rinks, St. Petersburg for Victor and Hasetsu for Yuuri. Neither of them know that the other was transported too and god the pining is real. They get into a lot of shenanigans trying to lowkey find out if the other is also in that time. They spend a week in the different points and they get to learn a lot of each other. The priorites of younger Yuuri and Viktor shift as they are gain different perspectives on what skating means for them.
37. Soulmate au combined with struggles with gender identity
38. I plan to write Yuuri as a Manga artist who draws BL (a few normal stories to make sure he earns the money he needs to, of course). Viktor meets Yuuri because he's always been a huge fan while producing his own comics but they aren't as popular. Yuuri immediately finds himself drawn to Viktor the moment he looks at him and decides to share his contact information so they can talk later.
39. Victor Nikiforov accidentally discovered his ability to jump space and time when he was only a child. Subsequently, he lost his parents that day and has been trying to find his long-lost family ever since. But in each jump he takes, he seems to get farther and farther away from home. He's about to give up hope when he realizes there's one person he keeps meeting in each of the different timelines and universes. His name, Yuuri, and his presence in each of the places Victor goes, leads Victor to think Yuuri might be a key. If only he could stop falling in love with Yuuri every time they met.
40.  Russian millionaire Victor hired Yuuri, a gardener, to care for his bonsai collection
41.  Sci-Fi/Dystopian Future AU Yuuri Katsuki thinks he has it relatively okay. Sure, scrambling through the Waste as Tech Scavenger isn't exactly a glamorous life, but at least he can keep a (leaking) roof over his head, his nose (kind of) out of trouble, and a (somewhat) stead supply of materials to keep his bionic arm operational. But on one of his solo reconnaissance missions he actually uncovers a VITYA model, one of the rare pleasure bots once manufactured by Nikiforov Inc. Nikiforov as in Viktor Nikiforov, head CEO and founder of the first companies to create and market AI. As in Viktor Nikiforov, Yuuri's long-time idol, a kindred spirit in the robotics and technological field. As in Viktor Nikiforov, the man who vanished five years ago, just before the world went to complete hell. Now Yuuri is thrust on a journey to uncover where exactly his VITYA model came from, what caused Nikiforov's disappearance in the first place, and why a pleasure bot is the most human companionship Yuuri has had in awhile.
42.  It's basically a neighbors AU with romance, drama, humor, and a bit of smut. I'm just going to put down my summary, so you can get a brief idea. They’ve been neighbors for a year now and have been dancing around each other in the stupidest of ways. They can’t seem to figure out that they’re meant to be together even as everyone around them knows that they’re love is practically written in the stars. As the seasons come and go, things tend to get a little crazy, but that’s when the best things happen, right? “Um, I watch our neighbor’s cat on the weekends and she keeps bringing me, erm, things. You wouldn’t happen to be missing some socks and underwear, by any chance?” “Oh my god, Viktor, his fire alarm is going off AGAIN. Either he seriously can’t cook or his hotness keeps setting his place on fire.” Yuuri’s on his balcony, watching the sky burn into vermillion flames and singing along to Pandora. The beat has him dancing, slowly swaying his hips as he waters his plants. Another voice joins his and he turns, jolting and spilling the rest of his water over the side of the balcony. There’s a splash and somebody’s cursing him from down below, but he’s stuck, frozen in mortification as he’s caught by the most gorgeous neighbor in existence. Is it important to mention that he was only in a baggy t-shirt and boxers? “Oh, please, don’t stop on my account.”
43. Loosely based on a comic by underthesaemstar-art. Victor is a noble, bored with his everyday life until a string of robberies shake things up. Yuuri is a servant working for Christophe and the thief behind the robberies. When Victor and Yuuri's worlds collide things become a lot more complicated.
44. Katsuki Yuri had been quite happy to spend his days sneaking glances at the cute tattoo artist from behind unnecessarily elaborate bouquets, but things change when everything falls together. Literally, at that. (or the one where Yuri has a terrible, horrible, no-good very bad half-year with a side helping of awkward situations and one very, very obtuse Victor)
45. I plan on writing a short fantasy fic! Most likely centered around Greek Nymphs or spirits (Yuuri as a water nymph, Viktor as a wind spirit)
46. Yuuri is a warlock/witch who loses something of his power when Vicchan, his familiar, dies. He night he loses Vicchan he unknowingly summons Victor, a demon, who tracks him down and tries to help him get his power back. Featuring Phicit the Imp; Yuri, a lesser god of madness; and Makkachin, the Actually-Immortal Hellbeast.
47.  Victor Nikiforov is at the peak of his career, having redeemed the name of Russian pairs skating, but all that gold won’t protect him from the truths that haunt him. Enter Yuuri Katsuki, a late blooming Japanese skater torn between his heart and his duties. Sometimes, when backed into a corner, athletes can act completely unexpectedly. A story about the debts we owe, the sacrifices we make, and the meaning of glory.
48. Minor Supernatural crossover. Hunter!Yuuri- a Yuuri who lines his doors and windows with salt, who keeps a sawed off shotgun at the bottom of his gym bag, and who has coated his blades in pure silver. Who has a minor in Latin and a water bottle of holy water, with a rosary wrapped around his neck. Who has a tattoo on his left inside ankle that appeared somewhere in the year after he leaves Japan and before Phichit becomes his roommate, and a four parallel scars on his right hip, thin and silver white against his skin.
49. Victuuri where Yuuri is an ice skating instructor and Victor is Yurio's dad. Yurio is 7 and 700% done whith his dad.
