    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?

    Summary

    “You can't retire,” Yuri interrupted fiercely, or, at least as fiercely as he could with tears pouring down his cheek and snot dripping from his nose, turning his face to glare up at Yuuri with red, puffy eyes.

    (Yuri skated his heart out and he still didn't know if it would be enough.)

    Summary

    “I tried to get close to my dad too, I guess—but there was just never any room.” Ash curls into his shoulder fully—as if he could melt away and disappear.

    Max squeezes him closer: he already knows how to be a dad, Ash is, for once in his life, inexperienced at something.
    “Your father didn’t have a very big heart.”
