* Confirmed by WordOfGod to be a series of coincidence, but there are multiple plot details and characters that follow Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty.
** Princess Aurora was cursed to die at the age of sixteen. Victor was sixteen the year he skated to The Lilac Fairy (in the Eros costume), which was Yuuri's introduction to him. Yuri on Ice canon establishes Victor as being the "prince" of the skating world, in the same episode that he wears the pink Stammi Vicino costume. Disney's Sleeping Beauty (a partial adaptation of Tchaikovsky) makes Aurora's IconicOutfit a pink dress, which was changed to blue a few times - Yuuri's Grand Prix Final skate outfit color.
** The evil witch Carabosse cursed Aurora because she was slighted by not being invited to the christening. In Theatre/{{Elisabeth}} canon, Death gatecrashed Elisabeth's wedding during ''Der letzte Tanz'' to gloat that she will eventually be his (that is, die). In the fic proper, Death [[spoiler: kissed Victor before Yuuri could fully pull Victor back to the light and spoil years of machinations.]]
** Carabosse appeared at Aurora's birthday party as a cloaked stranger, only revealing herself after the princess has collapsed. Death [[spoiler: disguised himself as Yuuri, only dropping the guise a split second to Victor before he delivers the fatal kiss.]]
