Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov
Author notes: To fandom_empire bingo prompt 'Perspective' and ficlet_zone prompt Garth Brooks songs, as well as to fan_flashworks prompt 'Doubt'. The song not identified in the story or summary is "Blind Ambition" from the Yu-Gi-Oh! the Movie: Pyramid of Light soundtrack; Bakura Ryou is not in the movie, and Sailor Mercury is from a different anime franchise entirely. Also Wiktionary assures me си́ний is slang for drunk, as well as meaning indigo and other dark blues, and голубо́й is the polite slang for gay, as well as meaning azure and other light blues. 😸 And while both fics ought to stand alone just fine, "here like fire burning / o tremble not" takes place during the last scene break and may be helpful context for the last scene.
Content notes: It's not underage alcohol consumption by Japanese or Russian standards, but it is by US standards and the character who's twenty and drunk (and gay) is in the US at the time?
Summary:

Viktor Nikiforov 2014–15 Competition Programs

• SP: "Katie Wants A Fast One", Steve Wariner ft. Garth Brooks
• FS: "Standing Outside the Fire", Garth Brooks
• EX: "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)", Whitney Houston

Theme: Desire

('The River' is too sad and lonely a song for Viktor to want to skate to, however much it resonates. 'Where Your Road Leads' by Trisha Yearwood is not sad, exactly, but the problem is it's not lonely. There is probably a copyright issue with using the lyrics he transcribed from that video clip as his theme for the season, but fortunately there is a much more concise way to put it.)

( The Japanese skater uses a step sequence for warm-up that is not exactly Viktor's from his first senior exhibition program, but it's close. )

Summary: At All Costs AU with POW!Javier Giscard instead of his death at Lovat.
Author’s notes: This is set in roseandheather and aoife’s POW!Javier verse. Because I want Eloise/Javier, here we are. Also, I may have shrunk the time between a few events, to make sense for this one-shot.
