Never Look Away: The Almost-Canon-But-Not-Quite AU

Everything Viktor knows and loves is tangled up in the world of competitive skating- a world that, for him, is quickly coming to an end. Standing at the precipice of the inevitable, he must decide how his tale unfolds: should he retire into quiet obscurity? Allow himself to be eaten alive by the younger, more vicious competition?

AKA: the YOI companion novel with 100% more Viktor backstory and perspective. Yes, you’re welcome.
