Aside from Christmas (for those who celebrate), we’re also celebrating Victor’s birthday today! Happy birthday, Living Legend! 🥳
Here are the Victor birthday fics I rec:
blessed by fnix_archive [T, 1K]
Victor’s a cuddler, which is a surprise to absolutely no one. The man is huge, all broad shoulders and lean muscle and long limbs meant for being wrapped around someone else. Yuuri.

Viktor and Yuuri celebrate New Year with Viktor’s mothers. Some things go exactly according to plan, and some don’t.
Look How We’ve Grown by @maydei [T, 7K]
Victor’s been alive for thirty years, but every day with Yuuri brings new surprises. Life. Love. Fun. Family. Yuuri’s presence in his life has brought them all, and Victor wouldn’t trade it for the world.
make a wish by thishasbeencarry / @yoyoplisetsky [G, 2K]
It’s easy to make wishes when he’s a kid. One wish a year doesn’t seem like nearly enough, because Viktor has a thousand things that he dreams of. There’s the new toy that he sees at the store, new skates, to be allowed to spend more time on the ice. He’s excited for his yearly wish and needs to make sure that he wishes for the right thing.
His mother says that his wish will come true if he thinks about it strongly enough. He makes sure that he thinks as loud as he possibly can without saying it every time that he blows out the candles.
there your heart will be by @stammiviktor [E, 5K]
Viktor Nikiforov loves surprises, and his fiancé knows this well
things heart-shaped and not by @crossroadswrite [T, 6K]
Victor turns to accept it with a distracted thanks, meaning to pick it up and turn back to Makkachin, but then his eyes catch on his drink, and the adorable heart that has been drawn in the surface of it.
“Yuuri!” he says, so absolutely delighted with how cute this is. “This is so cute! I didn’t know you knew how to make latte art.”
Yuuri is still busying himself with preparing the rest of their breakfast, but even half-turned away Victor can see the pleased flush on his cheeks, how he seems to stand a little straighter, proud of himself, as if pleasing Victor would merit all that.
(Or: 5 heart-shaped and 1 non-heart-shaped thing Yuuri gives Victor.)
this life’s made of light by @shadhahvar [T, 4K]
Victor’s turning thirty, and Yuri brainstorms a way to celebrate after having his plans thrown out the window by an unexpected injury that keeps him off the ice. Sometimes showing someone your love means taking chances.

Yuuri really wants to surprise Victor for his birthday, but there’s a bit of a scheduling issue.
