Summary
“It’s actually something good,” Phichit protests, which is a very Phichit thing to say and it only makes Yuuri’s frown deepen. “Stop looking at me like that!” he laughs, and it causes Yuuri to drop his frown and laugh too. Phichit takes a sip of his coffee when his laugh dies down, and when he looks back at Yuuri he seems less frazzled. “They called me this morning from Channel Four, about you being on So Much Better.”
Yuuri blinks and looks over at Phichit in shock. Of everything he thought Phichit might say, being invited to the award winning music tv-show was never one of them. “What?” he asks, putting his cup down to look straight at Phichit, who smiles warmly.
___________________
Yuuri gets invited to participate in a reality show dedicated to seven artists living together for little over a week to celebrate each other's music. He's not sure if he's going to accept at first, but after finding inspiration in one of the artists' songs he decides to do it. He's excited about it, until the final set up list is announced, revealing Yuuri's long time idol and crush Victor Nikiforov to be one of the artists as well. Victor, who's lyrics Yuuri has tattooed all over his skin.

Summary
“I told you how I was a pole vaulter back in Japan, right? When I used to do it, Ash— I felt like, I felt like—”
“Like you were flying,” Ash completes, a little breathlessly.
Watching Eiji’s figure suspended in the air, poised in a moment of unforeseeable recklessness, Ash thinks that he, too, can taste the drops of freedom on his tongue. He wants to protest, wants to tell him to stop, because this is so, so dangerous, but he can’t, he absolutely can’t— because who is he, a leopard ensnared in a deluge of snow, asking an unfettered bird to pause its flight?
or
Ash has always found solace in Eiji’s sunlit smile, sought comfort in his honeyed gaze.
But, what happens, when Eiji is the one falling apart?

Summary
All sorts of people come to Yuuri Katsuki’s small office on campus, mostly to ask for help with the syllabus, how to write a term paper, and all the other big and small things that come with the undergraduate experience. Everyone is a little lost every now and then.
Life could be so easy, were it not for the new, slightly older student named Victor that keeps coming to his open office hour and whose smile repeatedly makes Yuuri forget who he is.
In which Victor is a world-famous actor, looking for purpose, going back to university, and Yuuri Katsuki, Ph.D. student, is completely oblivious.

Summary
The day the nomads arrive, Yuuri's life takes an unexpected turn.
For he has known Victor, or rather, of Victor, long before he had even first laid his eyes on him. He has known of his reputation, of his name, of his title, of his influence and power, just like everyone else. His knowledge had not made him any special, and it certainly has not prepared him for anything he faces now.
For what, truly, could it possibly be that the man that everyone calls the hokin sees in him?
