Summary
Yuuri, a third-year dance major, stays on campus alone during fall break. Filled with anxious tension and shame for not returning home since arriving on campus, he heads to the performance hall to dance out his nerves. Yuuri's never been good with words or dealing with emotions, but with his art, he can express his inner turmoil and scream his feelings with unspoken words that seep out between musical notes and sequences of steps.
Victor, a second-year master of composition student, felt his work had been uninspired and dull. Victor has always loved music. It was an escape for him when he was surrounded by the pressures of perfection, falling in line and exceeding everyone's expectations. Music gave him an outlet to meet all those while still having something that drove him, exceeding all expectations from a young age. Over time, he feels that the glow of passion has diminished, leaving him lost and unsure where to turn.
One night, Victor finds he's not alone in the dim performance hall. Following a spill of warm light in the hallway, he spots a lone dancer through the glass. His eyes are closed, and he is lost in movement and feeling—music created with only his body and a quiet voice only he can hear.

Summary
At 25 years old, famed ice skater Victor Nikiforov faces a career-ending injury. While it doesn't stop him from skating again, it accelerates his lost interest in the sport. He goes to work as an editor for a winter sport magazine where he meets a cute anxious co-worker, Yuuri Katsuki.
Victor gets an email a week before Christmas that he's been invited to a Christmas Day Pairs Exhibition and is filled with interest for skating again. Only problem is he doesn't have a partner. That is until Yuri shows him a video of a mysterious skater doing his routine. Now Victor will do whatever it takes to find this skater to perform with him at the Exhibition.
(Christmas workplace AU based in an alternative timeline. Less workplace, more slice of life with plot. Turns into an ice skating fic halfway through anyway.)

Summary
“Back then,” Yuuri asks. “Did you love me?”
The cigarette hangs low, tucked between Victor’s lips. The end glows steadily orange, devil eyes on a coal-black night.
(Some ghosts of your past you leave well alone.)(Or: the powered assassins AU in which betrayal comes first, forgiveness second, and love was always somewhere in the equation.)

Summary
"Do you like magic?" Viktor asks, recognizing something in his expression.
The child nods mutely, still on the ground. He's cute.
Viktor weaves his magic into a small crystalline rose and offers it; a trick he'd worked on to try and charm his mother into letting him pursue magic. It hadn't worked on her then, and it doesn't seem to work now. He simply transfers his stare to the rose, then back to Viktor again.
"Ah, no good?" Maybe he's hurt from the fall. He lets the rose fade and kneels down, so they're closer in height. "Here, let me help you up."
The first touch of their skin is all it takes, as a glowing mark blooms to life, starting at Viktor's wrist and curling up towards his elbow. Strong, ancient magic hits like a flash of lightning and Viktor—lets go, as if burned.

Summary
He trusted Viktor, yes, but did it make it any easier to just go ahead and tell what he wanted to say? No way in hell. It was terrifying. So, Yuuri kept pushing the confession further and further, which ended up making him feel even more anxious.
This would not end well, especially for Yuuri, if he wanted to have an actual lasting relationship.
He would just have to take a breath in and say that...."I'm an omega."
