A/N: Hello, people!
I don't own Yuri on Ice.
I have no beta.
ENJOY!
CHECK ME OUT ON TUMBLR. HELLY-WATERMELONSMELLINFELLON. I FOLLOW BACK.
-Victor gets the game anyway! Also
they meet and Victor doesn't even
realize who Yuuri is until he's gone!
-Also, if you read the author notes
you wouldn't be confused over why
this fic seems familiar. It's already
been posted on AO3.
"Dude, Victor Nikiforov knows about On ICE! And he participated in the event, but was a few seconds too slow to actually get one of the games!"
Yuuri's jaw dropped as Phichit shoved his mobile under his nose.
"You need to read his post!"
Yuuri's eyes flickered over Victor's name, taking note of his changed profile photo, before his eyes actually fell on the words that had been typed by Victor himself.
Victor had gotten beat even just two minutes in, and he had been complaining about it after waiting five hours!
But then...
'I'm getting a mug with the Japanese skater's face on it! He's the hottest IMO!'
Yuuri's face flamed instantly, knowing that Victor wasn't talking about the sixteen year old Junior Ladies skater, Aoba Rin. There were only two Japanese main characters in the game, meaning Kubo Mitsuru, the character Yuuri had modeled after himself and his interests, was the one that Victor thought was 'hot'.
"Victor thinks you're hot, bruh!"
An inhuman noise came from Yuuri's mouth and he had to give Phichit his mobile back in order to go shove his face into a pillow and scream away all of the unexpected emotions.
Victor Nikiforov wanted to play his game! VICTOR NIKIFOROV WANTED TO PLAY THE GAME YUURI HAD CREATED BECAUSE OF HIM!
This was a day for the history books. The day Katsuki Yuuri had a heart attack because his idol acknowledged him even the slightest. In a roundabout way of course. But it still counted!

Victor smiled for the camera as he posed beside a fan. His publicist had decided that they would be best for him to do the meet and greet at one of the events Victor had been supporting in the past year since his retirement. Particularly the Ice Palace of Dreams in Los Angeles California.
It was basically dedicated to ice shows only, and Victor had found himself participating in a winter themed program that didn't require jumps above a Double Salchow's difficulty. That didn't stop him from doing more difficult jumps when he could, though.
The event itself was to raise money for a children's hospital and all participants were volunteer figure skaters from all corners of the globe. Eighty percent of the funds accrued would go to the hospital, and the remaining twenty percent went into paying for the shows themselves.
An official Meet & Greet had been arranged after each performance at Victor's suggestion, so that the audience could meet the skaters. Which was where Victor was currently. He enjoyed it.
"Thank you for your support!" he said, smile wide, rendering the young girl speechless as she nodded vigorously and moved on to meet another skater.
Moments later, Victor found himself staring down at one of the most adorable people he'd ever seen. A familiar person, though he couldn't place a name at the moment. Dark eyes stared up at him without obvious interest, set into a charming face that was obstructed by large glasses.
"Hello!" the man before him said, his accent only tinging his words slightly. "Your performance was lovely as always."
Victor quirked a brow. "A committed fan?" he asked, his smile growing.
The flush that came was beautiful as it blended into the other's skin. "For about sixteen years now."
He whistled. That was a long time to be dedicated to someone's career. It also had to mean that the other was pretty aware of the happenings in the skating world, so to come all the way to California to watch a small ice show that wouldn't be shown internationally, was impressive.
"I brought you a gift as a thank you for being so inspiring!" the man went on to say, holding out a bright fuchsia bag. Looking closer, Victor could see that it was modeled after one of his Free Skate costumes. Stammi Vicino.
Definitely a dedicated fan.
"Thank you…"
"Yuuri," the man supplied, face turning red again. "Katsuki Yuuri."
"Would you like to take a photo with me, Yuuri?"
Here was a tiny but urgent nod. As if verbalizing his agreement was just too much for the other man. His phone was already out though, the blue case covered in brown poodles.
"You like poodles?"
"Yes. I had a toy poodle for about thirteen years. He looked like your Makka does, but about one fourth her size."
A very dedicated fan. Victor beamed, feeling touched that someone would pay so much attention to his personal life.
He wrapped an arm around Yuuri's waist, feeling a little more daring than he had with the other fans. The man snapped a few photos in quick succession and bowed once, murmuring a bit of Japanese that Victor recognized from competing in Japan so often over the years.
"Dōitashimashite," Victor replied, remembering at least some phrases.
He wish that he'd kept count of how many times the other had blushed within his presence. It was so adorable!
"May I open the gift now?"
Yuuri waved a hand, eyes almost beginning to sparkle in excitement.
Victor's breath was lost immediately. The bright blue letters staring back at him were wrapped in plastic and shined in the light. And when he turned the item from side to side, the picture on the front morphed into another picture.
It was also a lot larger than he thought it would be, set in a large box that one would usually find an entire season of a show in.
On ICE! for the PS3!
"Yuuri, we need to take a photo with this so I can post it all over Instagram!"
The younger man was a flushed mess by the time Victor relinquished his hold on him. He'd barely withheld the urge to kiss the other in gratitude. Still, Yuuri was very patient for a fan, and he smiled and bade Victor a fond farewell, wishing him luck in any further shows and promising to continue to watch.
Victor posted the photo immediately, unable to stop himself from bragging. He had the best fan ever!
v-nikiforov This adorable angel brought me a
gift at today's Meet & Greet! On ICE! #blessed
#onice #katsukiyuri #heisanangel
p+chulanont So THAT'S where Yuuri went for
the weekend! He was being secretive. #damn
#katsukiyouaretoast #onice #bruh #alone
#iamfeelingleftout
v-nikiforov You know the adorable Asian angel?
#katsukiyuri
p+chulanont That's the creator of On ICE! The
one who inspired the character you like! You
didn't know? XD XD XD #katsukiyuuri #onice
#omg #thisisgreat #yuuriandhissecrets
Victor's entire world slowed in that moment as he had to reread the words over and over in order to comprehend them.
The creator of the game he had wanted to play, had come to an Ice Show just to meet him. In order to gift him with On ICE! in person. He didn't draw much attention to himself or make claims about his connection to On ICE!. He simply smiled, took a few photos, and told Victor that he was a fan of sixteen years.
Shit!
Victor looked up in a frenzy, trying to find the Asian man among the crowd of people. Unfortunately, Victor wouldn't spot him anywhere. Of all times for someone to wear black!
He had to do something though!
Yuuri hadn't even made it back to his hotel room before his social media was blowing up for different reasons.
His post of he and Victor in LA had gotten a shocking amount of responses on Instagram. Phichit was at the top of the list, with Chris Giacometti not far behind him.
And then on Twitter, he was repeatedly being tagged in various posts about On ICE! and how he had given Victor Nikiforov a game personally.
Finally, on every account he had made public, Victor Nikiforov had followed him, and then tagged him in a post of his own.
{I can't believe this angel was Katsu_ki all along! Yuuri, thank you! :3 #OnICE [PHOTO]}
|
{You're welcome! ^-^ As you inspired the game in the first place, it was only right. And yes, I bought it at standard price.}
||
{I INSPIRED IT! THIS MUST BE SHARED EVERYWHERE!}
And Victor's own social media was practically a mess of excitement and a promise to play the game as soon as possible.
Yuuri hadn't expected so much to come of finally meeting Victor Nikiforov in person.
How little he truly knew.

Yuuri read as the list got longer and longer and people had more and more questions. In so little time, there were already forums about his game! The game had only been officially released four days previous and yet everyone was already jumping on it.
The cheat code/extras part made him giggle. No cheats really, but certainly a lot of extras if the correct decisions were made. Things easily overlooked because of the wonder of the game itself.
Yuuri clicked on the link about the extras and cheats, and smiled at the page that popped up.
stanningicebabe: So I wanted to know if anyone has cracked any cheat codes yet?
Or maybe they've gotten far enough to see any extras?
|
SebastianMichaelsR0cks: I've played about two hours of Yuri Yakovlev already(I
was exploring because there is so much of the world to see!) and I have noticed a
few "Extras". I saved the beginning into 5 separate slots because 'Butterfly Effect"
was mentioned months ago.
1. You start off in the character's bedroom. As he's a single man in his mid-twenties,
he lives alone(or you can choose to start him with a cat or a dog if you want). His
room is large and modern, and when you walk toward the television atop the dresser,
a video will pop up. If you watch it to the end, you'll learn the story of Yuri's former
competitive season and his victory.
Yuri groans and makes a comment about how unhappy he was with his routines. He
wants to do something different this year, and resolves to make some changes to his
dynamic.
This is where I learned a difference. Watching the video actually gives the character
different options when he leaves his room, compared to if you just bypass it or ignore
it.
[IGNORE]
A.) I should get some lunch. = Ending the day lazily.
B.) I should watch the news. = Getting frustrated and
going for a nap.
C.) {optional} I should feed the cat/dog. = Happy pet,
and a cute bonding moment, before lazing on the
sofa.
[WATCH]
A.) I should go for a jog! = Gets the energy pumping
and makes him want to skate better! Plans next
season while running.
B.) I need to eat so I can hurry to the rink! = A quick
lunch and then he's off jogging to the rink.
C.) {optional} I should feed the cat/dog. = Once the
animals is taken care of, Yuri sits at the kitchen
table to consider his plans.
2. If you wait ten seconds after your character laces up their skates, the character
will turn slightly and wink at you.
3. Eating vegetables and fruits gives the character more energy for practice, making
them more capable of landing their jumps.
4. Jump challenges are better executed when you hold down L3/Left Analog
Stick(for PS3 & 4) before jumping. It helps the character stay level instead of tilting
too much to either side. R1 speeds them up, but you have to watch the meter. If you
go too fast, you over-rotate and either fall or touch down. If the speed is too slow,
you under-rotate and fall or touch down. Both will lower your score from your Base
Points.
5. Pay attention to the posters around your character's home rink. They actually hold
instructions on how to make the character skate, or little blurbs of info on the
different jumps. And once you read all of them, you'll get a chance to customize your
character's skates. If you don't look at them during the first day at the rink, you get
stuck with standard white/black and can't change them.(As far as I've seen.)
6. Having your character eat too much of anything will make them sleepy and lazy.
Having them not eat enough will make them too weak to function. I noticed that eating
dinner normally, but reserving breakfast and lunch for breakfast bars, keeps the
character at an acceptable energy level.
7. In the character's room, there should be a closet. Choosing your outfits will affect
your character's attitude. According to the manual, each character has a different style
and attitude, and if they aren't properly maintained, their attitude will affect their
training, skating, and relationships.
8. There is actually a time limit for staying in the character's house and doing nothing.
Four minutes before your character decides to go to sleep. If they sleep, the day ends
and you'll have lost training time and the time it takes to familiarize yourself with the
gaming mechanics.
9. It turns out that collecting the newspapers along the sidewalk on your way to the rink,
gives your character more topics to discuss when speaking with other characters.
{Ex.) Yuri is already friends will fellow skater, Mitsuru.
There is a section where you can text him and if you
collect the papers, you have more responses to choose
from. If you don't collect them, there's nothing beyond
genial greetings and well wishes.}
10. Having your character stand in front of the bathroom mirror in order to stare at
themselves, will boost their confidence. Don't let the meter get too high that it becomes
arrogance though. Arrogance leads to friends becoming disinterested in your character.
11. I noticed that you can find the stats for your character in the bedside drawer.
Specifically, their Journal. The Journal holds all of their personal info you need to know.
Back-story, friend list, motivations, skill set, etc… Keeping track after practices will let
you know how far along you are and allow you to modify their training in the future.
12. As I've gotten to the first qualifying competition(Cup of China), I can tell you that
names are pulled randomly for the Short Program, but then go from lowest to highest
score for the Free Program. Your character's skill at their SP will give you points of
experience and you'll most likely receive an in depth explanation over the character's
flaws. Depending on how you take that information, you can either choose to be grateful
or annoyed.
{GRATEFUL} Ensures a good attitude and friendly environment with
the other skaters. This affects your character's life down the line.
{ANNOYED} Makes everyone annoyed with your character and they will
avoid them. This affects your character's life down the line.
These are what I've noticed so far. Hope it helps! ^-^
wrick: That had to be the longest info ever given!
||
ordoordoord-doordoordoor: The dedication! I haven't even gotten to the practice yet!
But this will help so much! Thank you!
|||
SebastianMichaelsR0cks: You're welcome!
||||
aronldwassup: So basically if you skip even the tiniest details, your character will have
a different experience?
|||||
SebastianMichaelsR0cks: Yep! They really took the Butterfly Effect seriously for the
game! But do what you want, don't try to do everything even if you hate it. I'm exploring
all these roads because I'm curious, but you don't have to do it right now. I'm still
playing for personal experience on another saved slot.
Basically, the entire conversation involved things people had noticed. Small things that lead to big decisions later on.
And as he thought about it, Yuuri flushed remembering that he'd started Yuri and Mitsuru off as friends. Or rather, Victor and Yuuri.
His crush never died away it seemed.
Clearing his throat, Yuuri went back to perusing the forum and laughing to himself at the discussions people were having all because of his game.
It was nice to know that people liked it so much. Fifteen years of hard work paid off it seemed.
Victor was amazed at the attention to detail that had been put into On ICE!. If every character's homeland was modeled the same way, then he would be even further impressed.
Honestly, Yuri Yakovlev, the character he'd decided to start off with, lived in Moscow. Victor had been to Moscow many times and save for some details being switched, everything was perfect in the fictional world.
So far, Victor had learned a lot about his character. And he also found himself interested in the music offered for the programs. Original music composed for the game itself.
Two options for both Short and Free Programs. He had to choose one of each and go from there.
Yuri Yakovlev was much like Victor was in person, beyond physical appearance. His signature move was the Quadruple Flip, which he'd ratified at the young age of eighteen in the game. He could have a poodle if the player chose to give him a pet. And Victor could name it himself if he wanted.
He was friends with the Japanese skater in the same Division. The one that was modeled after Katsuki Yuuri. His fan of sixteen years. He thought it was cute, and if everything went right, he'd be making that little fan moment a reality.
After all, how could he not be attracted to someone so shocking like Katsuki Yuuri?
He was cute already, and then to see how thoughtful he'd been to Victor and how dedicated of a fan he was. It was a nice change.
Victor hunted down his social media and learned that he'd had a poodle named Victor, that looked exactly like Victor's Makka. That he was an avid skating fan who met Phichit Chulanont in university in the States. That he had a lot of contacts in the skating world for someone who never bothered to join the Junior competitions in his home country.
Katsuki Yuuri was an enigma wrapped in an adorable package, and Victor was going to meet him in person again.
Somehow.
A/N: Another is done!
How was it? Let me know!

See ya! :D
