The @yoi-stardust-zine is in its leftover sales, which means I finally get to share this little gem with you!
A star/astrology-themed zine felt like it was made for me, and let me tell you: if you can swing it at all, get a copy of this zine, it is the most gorgeous thing I have ever laid eyes on.
But also, go read my fic! It's short and bittersweet, and really close to my heart.

Viktuuri Week Day 7—Soulmates
Okay sorry i'm a day late BUT HERE THEY ARE!!! THE SOULMATES OF ALL TIME!!! The thing about soulmates is, for me, that it's about people who make each other better, and people who understand each other in a way that no one else will. sometimes they're romantically involved, and sometimes they are family or friends who are so important and will always be, and I LOVE THAT. I'm obsesssssssssed with soulmate ideas
Two Steps Forward..., by thinkingintheam (24k)
IF YOU ONLY READ ONE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET IT BE THIS ONE. Danseur!Viktor, Photographer!Yuuri, soulmate step countdown AU, filled with near misses and comedy and friendship and it's EVERYTHING TO ME.
Seven Years and Twenty-Four Hours, by Glaucus_Atlanticus (39k)
I reread this one probably like once every three months at MINIMUM. This is a canon-compliant time travel AU which is a BEAUTIFUL look at how Viktor and Yuuri love each other, and how well they know each other. SO WONDERFUL.
how I wish I was free, by aceofjapan (8k)
THIS FIC SAYS TRANS RIGHTS. A really unique concept for a soulmate AU, and just IMPOSSIBLY gentle. Also gets a lil sexy in there, so BE READY. I loooooooooove this one Also, this is one of my FAVOURITE authors!!
Missing Pieces, by TheSprout (31k)
hnnnnnnnggghhhh I was just skimming this one again to write this rec and OKAY. This is a memory-loss fic, which, when done well, is a PARTICULAR kryptonite for me. In this one, Viktor hits his head and loses the last four years of his memory, but he's only known Yuuri for three. HE DOESN'T REMEMBER HIS HUSBAND. They have to re-learn how to be with each other, and figure out if they even want that and it's SO!!!!
the deep end, by orphan_account (2k)
thank you forever, author, for orphaning instead of deleting, this is such a cute little college AU, and for me it's the PERFECT snapshot of two people who are meant to be together finding each other
Hope you enjoy!!! I had so much fun putting these lists together this week!!

A Moment of Stillness
by @theliteraryluggage
Summary:
When Victor was young, a child in a world too large for him, his grandmother used to tell him that change only really happened twice a year. There were two moments, two moments short and limited, in which everything shifted, and after that, life just followed in the path set for it.
--
Feeling trapped in an endless cycle of winning and winning and winning, Victor decides he needs a change.

Participant Highlight: Ace of Japan
Tumblr media
Ace of Japan | Artist & Writer | @theliteraryluggage | Instagram | AO3
Hi, I'm Ace! I am a long-time writer and have recently returned to writing fanfiction after a long absence, thanks to YOI. I'm also a freelance comic artist with my own comic book series and I'm looking forward to experiencing my first Bang from both sides.
Favorite Angsty Things
Dress me in black and bury me in angst. I will take literally any angst you can give me, as long as it's well written. I don't even need a happy ending. Give me Hurt/Comfort, or even Hurt/No Comfort, smother me in past abuse, mental illness and recovery. What is most important to me is a mindful approach to the topic, a captivating atmosphere and a beautiful writing style.

Podfic rec: Icebreaker, read by aceofjapan [Yuri on Ice]
Title: Icebreaker
Author: Cesare
Reader: aceofjapan
Fandom, pairing: Yuri on Ice, Yuuri/Victor
Summary:
Yuuri's husband is possibly not as oblivious as he seems, because he grins and asks, "Have you never looked up Yuuri?"
"There's a porn actress with the same name who went into politics," says Nate, "so she's most of the results, and some stuff about figure skating."
"Some stuff about figure skating," Victor says ruefully to Yuuri.
(((A post-skating-retirement college scenario based on skygemspeaks' idea about Yuuri's college classmates learning about his figure skating career. I wrote a variation mostly because I just really wanted to include Victor in the mix. This also heavily draws on kevystel's ideas about Yuuri unknowingly breaking hearts everywhere he goes.)))
Rating: General audiences
Warnings: nope
Length: 00:43:39

There’s a proliferation of post-retirement outsider POV fics in the YoI fandom. This is one of my favourites, and aceofjapan does a great job of it.
The fic
As in most examples of the trope, Yuuri goes back to college post retirement and totally doesn’t tell anyone about his past as a figure skating legend. This example has a particularly charming OC, whose opinions while watching Yuuri’s classmates swoon all over him, and later while watching the cutefest that is Victuuri, take the whole thing up a notch of enjoyment.
The reading
There’s just something about aceofjapan’s voice that I enjoy. Their accent is lovely, and their delivery is gentle and musing. This piece is more lighthearted than most of the work they choose to podfic, but the tone still works really well. Bonus points for a pitch-perfect grumpy Yurio!

there is no you (there is only me)
by aceofjapan
Peter should have known.
He'd let his guard down. He hadn't even known he was capable of that anymore. Constantly in survival mode, one threat popping up after another, he barely knew anything but hyper-vigilance anymore.
He couldn't believe how stupid he'd been.
Dismissing the dread as simple paranoia, forgetting that it wasn't paranoia if people were really out to get you.
And if the last six months of his life had proved anything, it was that there were definitely people out to get him.
And Beck was right at the top of the list.
In which Beck reappears after NWH … and he may have forgotten Peter, but Peter has certainly not forgotten him.

“This is a person before him, a human being whose skin reddens, whose clothes wrinkle, who sweats and then smells. A body, whole and independent, with alcohol coursing trough its bloodstream, with teeth and a tongue in that mouth of his, with feet aching from exertion. An entire consciousness behind those eyes, with thoughts that are deep and dark and private, never to see the light of day, along with those that he wears on his sleeve, with dreams that he may remember some nights and some nights he doesn't, synapses and nerves and muscles and tendons that now work together in a single flow of action, as Victor smiles at him.”
GUYS YOU GOTTA READ THIS GORGEOUS FIC
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You may have seen me talk about Xerxes fic on here--and there it is! Enjoy!
Fullmetal Alchemist, Mature, Ch 1/?, 5.5K
Tags/Warnings: Rape/Non-Con, Post-Canon, Angst and H/C, Hurt Edward Elric, Non-Consensual Drug Use, Rape Recovery
Summary:
Edward had meant to only briefly stop in Xerxes for some research on his way to visit Alphonse in Xing. He hadn't expected to encounter people living in the ruins of Xerxes—not Ishvalan refugees, but settlers from Amestris. And what kind of researcher would he be if he didn't find out what had brought them here? If he had known what he would find, he would never have gotten involved. He wouldn't have let them see him.

"Is it often like this?" Hawkeye's voice was so soft, Ed almost didn't hear it through the static clouding his head. He took a moment to breathe. "Not often", he finally said. "This storm's a bad one, but usually I could just take it easy for the day. Get some rest. It passes. Just—" He cut himself off with a sigh. "Just …?", Hawkeye prompted after a moment when he didn't continue. Edward grimaced. "Well, the shitheads who have it out for me rudely don't give a fuck if I'm having a bad day or not. Really we should make them sign up on a schedule. Attempted murder on fair days only, please." -- Edward knows not to push himself too much when the rain makes his scars ache and the strain of the automail on his body unbearable. Really, he does. It's just … sometimes he's not given a choice.

I shared my contribution to the ficwip5k for @ficwip!
Fullmetal Alchemist, Teen and Up, Gen, 2.3K
Tags/Warnings: AU - The Hunger Games, Vignette, Brotherly Love, Automail, Light Angst, Mentions of Past Injuries
Summary:
“I volunteer! I volunteer as a tribute!” His shout draws all the eyes that were previously glued to Al towards him, and Al too whirls around. “Brother—no!” They promised, they promised not to do this, and Ed had really only agreed because it was Al’s first reaping, the chances of him being selected were so low … If Ed had known how gut-wrenching that terror was, the terror of watching the Peacekeepers come for his little brother, he would never have agreed in the first place. He would rather break his promise than have to watch his brother die. -- Before Edward can make it through the Games, he first has to make it through an interview with Caesar Flickerman.

here is my piece for the spooder-man server exchange, a gift for @karinaisloud!!
It wasn‘t like seeing Spider-Man around was something particularly unusual in Queens. Everyone did at some point or another. Nonetheless she couldn‘t help feeling a strange kind of attachment to the friendly neighbourhood helper. Kind of like that regular at the café that you always see around and you‘ve never talked to but sometimes you nod to each other and when they‘re not around for a while you wonder vaguely if they‘re doing okay. Kind of like that.   Anyway, once that strange parasocial attachment had been formed, Lauren couldn‘t help her curiosity. Her interest. So she watched him sometimes when she saw him around. Only for a while. Only when she had nothing else to do. And not in a creepy way. Just—people watching. Like you‘d do sitting on a bench or looking out the window, watching the people mill past. Only Spidey-specific. Spidey watching. -- 5 Times Spider-Man Shows Queens His Love + 1 Time They Return the Favour.
