Dear anonymous prompter,
I’m so sorry it’s taken me almost three months. m(>_<)m
I hope you like all the cakes!
Discovered that the pop-up Kingsman shop on St James Street coincided with my time in London. I couldn’t resist. :D
Photos are allowed in the shop. The staff are also super duper nice. They were very kind to the various fans who came, and even shared trivia.
I took a bunch of photos, for friends who could not travel there. Sharing them here too. :) I’m completely wow-ed by the attention to detail in setting up this shopfront. <3

The shopfront. I took so many photos in front of it. I must have amused the shop staff.

Scored the YOI Ichiban Kuji “Enjoy Your Trip” Tour Guide Book, and Otabek’s page is just ~killing me.
Imagine:
Otabek sending Yurio pictures of the random, interesting things he finds in Almaty, and Yurio replying, “Give me!!!”
Otabek invariably buying those things for Yurio and sending them to him.
It starts of as a joke, but like all running jokes, it escalates, until one day, Yurio opens his front door, expecting to find yet another parcel from Kazakhstan… but finds a WILD CITY BOY on his doorstep instead.
“I was expecting something a lot smaller,” Yurio says, with a nonchalance he doesn’t feel. He hopes that Otabek doesn’t hear the slight hitch in his voice.
“Thought I’d deliver it personally,” Otabek grins, sharp and sure, as he drops the black-and-gold cap on top of Yurio’s head.
What, Yurio tries to say, but Otabek leans in then, and steals the retort right from his lips.
“Suits you,” Otabek finally murmurs. a while later. A long while later.
“Oh,” Yurio breathes, slightly dazed. Unthinkingly, his hands fist in the front of Otabek’s jacket, and he reels his maybe-boyfriend in for another kiss.
It’s a Love Story (but don’t tell Taylor Swift)

summary: “You’re the best friend ever,” Victor declared.
And that, Yuuri reflected ruefully, was the problem.
Or: The high school AU in which Yuuri has a crush on his oblivious best friend.
Here’s what I’ve been working on for the past month! :D I also sneaked some shameless Shakespeare geekery into the fic and in its end notes, if that’s your kind of thing.
Shout-out to my lovely artist, @sanpape, whose adorably fun art inspired this fic, and who was super sweet to work with.
I just wanna say God bless anyone and everyone in the tmfu fandom who are still making graphics and fanfictions, whether we get a sequel or not u are highly appreciated.
Not participated in TMFU fandom for a good while, and I now kinda guilty about the couple of fic WIPs I have for it ahahaha.
Still, the #napollya tag on tumblr continues to make me happy whenever I check it out, so thank you, o wonderful people still active in this fandom! <3
Further to Oodeo Onsen Otayuri, a friend suggested:
What if Yurio picked Otabek’s yukata for him, so that they’d match?
So here are 200-ish words exploring precisely that. :D;;
Otabek doesn’t catch on immediately. It’s not the first time that he’s gone shopping with Yuri, and it’s not the first time that Yuri’s tried to pick clothes for him. He still has that t-shirt from Barcelona, the one Yuri insisted he get because it brought out his eyes - whatever that meant.
As yukata go, Otabek supposes this one’s alright. It’s black, a colour he likes, and the silver design is pretty cool. Yuri’s also really keen on it, which is a plus.
He’s still a little self conscious, however, when he steps out of the changing room. “Ta-dah,” he says, putting on his best please-like-me smile.
Yuri gives him a thumbs-up, which is enough to convince Otabek to pay for the yukata shortly after.
It’s only later, when he’s drinking some kind of sweet, fizzy lemonade from a blue bottle, that he catches on.
Yuri hooks his arm around the crook of Otabek’s elbow, snuggling againat Otabek’s bare arm. (Otabek had folded the sleeves of his yukata up by then, the weather hot as it is.)
“I’m glad we match,” Yuri says cheerfully.
Otabek glances at the pattern on Yuri’s yukata, takes in the colours. He looks down at his.
And he promptly chokes.
Celebrating my having (finally!) finished my Victuuri reverse bang fic… by writing more Victuuri. :D This time, a sequel to the short Mafia AU I did in February.
I quite like how the first bit of the sequel is shaping out so far. Here’s hoping I actually finish it for posting, instead of letting it die in WIP hell. :D;;
Meanwhile, my Victuuri RB fic will be posted on 28 June. Stay tuned!
