Summary:It’s Christmas Day–Victor’s birthday–and he’s completely, utterly alone. He stays at the practice rink long after his rinkmates, and when he’s finally too exhausted to do one more jump or spin, he doesn’t want to go home just yet, so he takes a different path home than normal, He comes across an outdoor skating rink, where he happens to see a beautiful man skating his Stammi Vicino routine. Enthralled, Victor decides he has to meet him, but decides to hide his face because…well. He’s Victor.
Notes: This is an alternate meeting fic, occurring on Christmas day a few weeks after the GPF in Sochi. In this AU, after Yuuri bombed at the GPF, he refused to go to the banquet, so Yuuri and Victor never met or danced with each other that night, and Yuuri never asked Victor to be his coach. Yuuri still placed very badly at Japanese nationals, and therefore didn’t qualify for worlds.Tl;dr: Victor’s a huge dork and pines away for Yuuri, there’s mistaken identities, ballet…all the good stuff.
