    Summary

    When they’d first discussed relocation, it had been with an online catalogue of options. They’d flipped through it on a tablet, curled on the sofa with Makkachin between and the screen propped up on her fluffy back. The Terra Sirenum colony in the south of Mars was far too hot. St. Petersburg and Detroit were both too far from Hasetsu, where Mari and Yuuko would both be staying, but then Japan was too distant from the Lunar colonies, where the Nishigori triplets now lived.

    The Mars colony had been one of the first post-Terra settlements established in the 2030’s, and it’s long since fallen out of fashion among the elite, who prefer to travel on to wider, more sparkling galaxies, but Victor’s fingers had lingered on the screen when they reached a page about the Polar Hood.

    “Mars has ice, you know,” he said. Between them, Makka’s tail thumped against the sofa, and Yuuri smiled.

    50 years post-canon, Victor and Yuuri celebrate their golden anniversary in a new home, but with all the same old friends

    Summary

    When pair skater Yuuri Katsuki’s career comes to a scandalous end, he does not expect the retired pair skating legend Viktor Nikiforov to suggest that they compete together. But taking on a new skating partner is full of trial and error, and the skating world doesn’t know how to react when the Katsuki-Nikiforov duo, against all odds, starts doing well. The last thing either of them should do, as they strive for their last chance at greatness, is to fall in love. Yuuri knows he is damaged goods, and Viktor knows his body is starting to fail him. They have competitions to survive and medals to win. No, falling in love is out of the question; they’re just very good friends. And even if Viktor felt something, he’d never act on it, and even if Yuuri happened to be hopelessly in love, he’d be mortified if Viktor ever found out.

    “Well,” Viktor said, “let’s summarise: I’m pushing thirty, have a bad ankle, and haven’t skated competitively in three years. You’re barely out of a doping scandal, coachless, and on the JSF’s blacklist. Hell, Yuuri – we might as well go for it, then. What on earth do we have to lose?”

    When Viktor put it like that, it seemed to make an awful lot of sense.

    Summary

    “Well, I know what we should do about it,” Victor announced, straightening up. “We’re going to play a game.”

    “Now?”

    “Our whole lives, I’m thinking, if you don’t mind.” Victor clarified, to Yuuri’s sudden perplexity. “We’ll call it ‘The Game of Uncomfortable Truths’. This is how it goes: whenever one of us needs to confess something the other might be upset or even oblivious about, we do this,” Victor gestured simply with his hand.

    “We cross our hearts?” Yuuri asked. "Why?"

    (In which there are many communication issues, Yuuri is a reluctant runaway bride, Victor is not excited about growing older and they make unexpected friends during their intense honeymoon in Greece.)

    Summary

    Another entry in the Active Players Magical Wake Up in Bed with Retired Players who Wear the Same Number when They Need Help series.

    -*-
    When Dylan's number was 20, he would sometimes magically wake up in Luc Robitaille's bed and they'd get mimosas. Now that Dylan's number is 17, he has no idea who's bed he'll be in when he wakes up the day after he gets into a fight with Connor.

    WASN'T EXPECTING WAYNE GRETZKY, THOUGH.
