soulmate au where soulmates share all acquired skills, so if one of them knows a language the other automatically does too or if one can play and instrument, the other can do it too, and yuuri is a genius skater from the moment he steps on the ice which makes him think he’s only good bc his soulmate must be, but he genuinely has no idea who his soulmate might be since there are so many good skaters out there, so the timeline progresses like it did – vicchan dies, yuuri bombs sochi because even if he has the skill his nerves are still getting in the way, and he still sweeps victor off his feet, semi-retires and skates stammi vicino…

so when victor shows up at the onsen and speaks perfectly fluent japanese they both end up staring at one another just like ‘what’ but yuuri still denies any possibility that victor might be his soulmate until one day in practice he gets distracted by how beautiful victor is and falls on a jump, sprains his ankle like the fool he is, and finally yuuri gets fed up with it all when victor helps him off the ice while murmuring soft things in russian that yuuri hears as russian, but also not, also like it’s almost japanese but it isn’t and it’s confusing and frankly annoying and ‘can you please stop calling me your ray of sunlight, there is nothing sunny about me victor’ and it’s in that moment that victor freezes and yuuri does too bc that was russian he can speak russian and victor can speak japanese and oh my god how the fuck is victor nikiforov his soulmate
