It's been nearly a year since the incident that changed Yuuri's life

He no longer lives in Viktor's apartment, having moved back to his family's home. Minako was very supportive about the whole thing (everyone was actually) but she pushed him to not give up. He went ahead and continued skating, leaving everything to his mother's capable hands, and really, he wouldn't trust anyone else with something so delicate. He managed to make it to the Grand Prix again, but it wasn't the same. Yurio made just as great an impact as the prior year, JJ had gotten his bearings back even though he'd get overly nervous sometimes, and Phichit was...well, he was Phichit. The three of them had amazed the crowd while he'd been too busy worrying about home

Viktor would probably scold him if he'd seen something so disgraceful

The only constant he's had as of late was the beeping in the guest room. He hugged his knees close to his chest, I shouldn't have rushed him, I should have told him to stay another day until the weather cleared up

There's a knock at his door and his mother walks in, a sweet smile on her chubby face, "Did you finish your meal Yuuri?"

Yuuri smiles guiltily, "I wasn't very hungry," and he knows she can see his half eaten food. She doesn't say anything and moves to Viktor's bed, making sure that everything is fine. Yuuri knows it's all ok since he'd made sure to fluff up the pillow under Viktor's head, he'd changed the man's clothing, wiped him down, and opened the curtains for him to get some light

His face looks peaceful and Yuuri feels tears well up in his eyes. How many times had he wished to see Viktor sleeping? To see his chest rise and fall while he lay in bed comfortable. It was such a huge contrast to how Viktor was when awake. Now Yuuri wishes he'd never see it again, or at least not like this.

His mother seems to be satisfied with his care and Yuuri thinks she'll leave now, but instead she sits next to him

Even sitting he's taller than her

They sit in quiet for a few minutes before Yuuri feels her hand gently petting his head, "It's okay to hurt Yuuri."

And he can't help it this time. The tears come down freely and he feels snot forming under his nose, he feels like he's suffocating, and Viktor becomes a blur. He tries not to make too much noise by clenching his teeth but it only makes breathing harder and the crying worse. He hates the fact that he's so selfish, crying while Viktor can't do the things he loves anymore

A gentle tug pulls him over to his mother's warm embrace and he holds onto her tightly. She's still petting his head with one hand and he remembers how Viktor liked to thread his hands into his hair, to ruffle it because it was soft. His mother starts humming a tune that he vaguely remembers as a child

He's healing remarkably well, all things considered. The only issue now is the deterioration of his muscles as we don't know...when he'll wake up. We do have some nurses we can recommend if you need any help with his care

"Don't worry Yuuri, Vicchan is strong, he'll come back to us soon"

And Yuuri wanted to believe her, but how much more time would soon take?

A/N:

so it's been awhile (oops) but here's the next mini-fic

I decided to follow up on the “previous chapter” because I couldn't bare to just leave it at "and yuuri waited for viktor's call..." and because of that I added Prompt 6 to this. The prompts there just fit better than "comfortable place". enjoy and let me know what you think!

Prompt 1: In bed / On the couch / Comfortable place Prompt 6: While someone is crying / Sick / Reassurance

Fandom Fic Rec Days

The Fandom Fic Rec Days are back!

It is easy to make people look at art; all you need is a reblog. But when it comes to make people want to read fanfiction, it can get just a little more tricky.

To give writers more recognition, and to celebrate their stories, we’ve decided to organize the Fic Rec Days.

On February 10th, 11th, and 12th, you’re invited to rec your favourite fics, from the all time faves to the WIPs you’re currently enjoying.

How? In any way you want!

Create a post saying why people should read the fic!

Draw some fanart!

Create graphics/aesthetics!

Make a fic rec list!

Make a mix!

And so on.

Anything, really; there’s no way of rec’ing worth less than another.

This way, you will:

Promote writers’ fic, and maybe get them new readers.

Make their day, they will be super happy!

Maybe encourage them to write more (win-win!)

Any rules/extra information?

Tag your posts with #ficrecdays

Tag your fandom/ship.

You can always queue if you’re not available!

Readers, please consider leaving a comment on the fics you liked!

Above all else, have fun, make people happy (writers and new readers alike!)

Reblog to spread the word, and see you then! :D

All I could think about when I saw this gif.

How should a new artist on Tumblr get their art more recognized?

I think the main thing for getting recognized  is exposure. It’s not that your art isn’t good enough, it’s just that not enough people are seeing it!

-I find drawing for fandoms guarantees more exposure. It’s like being a part of a community/ gallery. 

-Tag your stuff? Some people actually overlook this. Your art is now in every tag you associate it with, tags that a lot of people are browsing!

-Original art is just a big hit or miss if you haven’t already established your name. The only way that seems to work is art that corresponds to some recent trend (memes/ events/ etc) 

-Think about people on tumblr! Every website has a trend in what goes around fast. That’s why you could post a drawing to instagram and hit 10k but on tumblr it wouldn’t reach much of a number. 

-Look through popular artists works. You’ll notice some obvious trends (especially in terms of aesthetics). Drew a trending character in a trending fandom, tweaked them up by adding a cute ponytail? Notes^2

These are a couple of things I’ve noticed while being here. 

Of course, I could be completely wrong. Don’t give up your style or the things you enjoy drawing to follow trends! Sometimes you just need time and consistent art posts to gain steady recognition. :)
