I’d forgotten that we got the tumblr account before we even posted the first chapter… that’s so exciting. :’) I can’t believe it. This has been an incredible couple of years.
An update on the next chapter, btw: in order to make sure that the payoff happens the way it needs to, we’re plotting the next 5-6 chapters all at once. We had a loose outline two years ago, which we’ve been gradually massaging as we’ve progressed through the fic, but now we are nailing down the hard outlines and it is a harrowing process. Barcelona is the climax and so, so important, and we want to make sure we do it right.
We spent over eight hours on Saturday combing through episodes 10-12 and finally finished hammering all of the canon material from the series last night, with all of the present-day gaps filled. The fairytale segments are planned, I just need to decide where they fit in the outline, but that will depend on where we end up putting the chapter breaks… and THAT depends on the final number of flashbacks that we decide on, which we are working on now.
Once all of this is decided and figured out, we will start writing. Since the scenes are all planned (often with dialog, even) and we’ve discussed them at length, it should go fairly quick. That will take us to the end of the Grand Prix Final and back to Japan.
But that won’t be the end of NLA.
When Barcelona is over, we will have three more chapters to make up for the pain that we’re going to cause. I’m not going to give any spoilers, but I CAN say that they will be soft, fluffy, and very, very sweet. They should soothe the aches and any remaining heartburn.
After that, it’ll be one shots, zine pieces, AUs, etc. We have a lot of stories to tell— for Viktor, Yuuri, and everyone else. 🙂
On behalf of Mamo and I, thank you for your continued support and encouragement! We couldn’t do this without you all.
The week that Yuuri was away in Saint Petersburg is both trying and… enlightening for Viktor, who is faced with some very difficult decisions. However, it seems that destiny is on his side this time around…
#BACKSTORY #brief violence #roller coaster of emotions #ends on a very happy note, don’t worry #I’m SO SORRY IT’S SO LONG

@tbiris suggested “first pets” for the Saltwater Melodies prompt-a-thon and you know what, you know what, I love dogs. I heckin’ love dogs.
Takes place in early 2013, Viktor is 20 years old here. Super inspired by @gabapple ‘s Vitya Diaries which is excellent and adorable and I love it so hard.
For nearly two months, Viktor had avoided Yakov. As much as a student
could avoid their coach, anyway. It was surprising how Vitya had held
out this long, considering other instances the teen had been upset at
him. But then again, Yakov’s previous offenses hadn’t been so severe.
