By far... one of the few fanfics that has maintained characters so well and kept them so close to the original. LOVED IT. In fact, I got to see a lot of stuff that I would've liked to see in the anime. Like how Victor just starts sprouting shit in Russian and expects Yuri to understand. (Hope they include more of this stuff in the sequel/OVAs) Anyways... I had theorized that somewhere between cup of china and Rostelecom cup their relationship had gotten a little more intimate... a lot more before the finals which is the timeline for this piece. I think that base on the fast pace that their feelings had since the beginning. Also, episode seven seems like the first time that they shared a bed (could have happened wayy before but Victor's pure joy at that though!) and notice how in episode Ten, yuri looked for victor on his own bed and didn't even bother to look the other way. I guess what i'm trying to say is that we see Yuri get a LOT more confident and territorial and to be honest also slightly cocky about his relationship with Victor so some of the shyness felt out of place but I can kinda understand if it's stemming from anxiety.

So Sorry for the long rant but just ONE MORE thing. promise.

Loved how victor reassured Yuri but do you think that he'd get married without a gold, or five. or will he hold it over yuri's head as sweet sweet motivational bait?

Soo adorable

This is beautiful, and I love the imagery of the red balloon floating up into the sky.

Oh man I love this! So cute, ahhhh. I love the contrast between the two scenes (when Yuri's by himself VS when he's with Victor) and how Yuri kept not being able to breathe kept not being able to breathe keptnotbeingabletobreathe and then finally he's with Victor and suddenly he needs to breathe again. (Ahh man sorry for rambling a bit there -).

Also: that little outtake at the end was fabulous.

UA

Awww, I really liked this :3 It's so cute and I don't think you struggled at all with their personalities, so great job!

AAAAAAHHHHH! SO ADORABLE! I LOVED IT! BRILLIANT! and your closing thoughts... ;)

Oh my god the fluff hurts so much! Thanks for writing this! It was amazing to read.

I love Yuri and I love this! Also, the characterization was really good.

So cute!

I think that my review was lost one minute ago :(
Anyway, I love the characterization, especially Yuri. And I like the way that Victor supported him, with so much care.

Great story, thanks for sharing!

Love this!
