Tugging on Heart Strings by @otayuriistheliteralbest

1K - complete

“Ooh, look at this one!” Yuri cried, carefully picking up a sweet calico kitten from the litter at the shelter. They were adopting a new friend for Potya to celebrate moving in together, and Yuri insisted on rescuing one.

“There are enough cats and dogs out there in the world. I don’t need to go to a breeder for a kitten when there are so many cats out there who need homes, Beka!”

Pieces of Me, Pieces of You, Pieces of Us by @zeldaismyhomegirl

27.9K - complete

When Otabek tries to surprise Yuri by coming to St Petersburg, he finds his apartment empty besides some spoilt cats and a scrawled note on the kitchen counter. With nothing better to do, and a non-refundable return ticket, he decides to stay amidst the whirlwind that Yuri's left behind, finding pieces of him in ways he'd never been able to before. Thus ensues a period of self-discovery, self-loathing and some acts that Otabek's far from proud of.

In spite of the world by Stone_Heart

100K - complete

After years of war and suffering, the reign of fairies in the world has finally ended. Every last one has been killed, and maybe the world is better for it.

At least, that's what he used to think.

How is he supposed to feel, when the creature he spent years hating pulls him from the brink of death? How is he suppose to react when that turns into something more?

Be Mine by Ilya_Writes

5.8K - WIP

All loyalty and obedience that Yuri has ever known has stemmed from his position as the heir apparent, the future monarch of Amphora. But despite Otabek having no obligation to the Royal Family, he has vowed to devote his life to Yuri’s protection and pleasure of his own volition. The realization that Otabek may be the only person to have shown him both genuine defiance and devotion causes Yuri’s head to spin in a way that is not entirely unpleasant, and he finds himself wanting to believe that there is genuine fidelity and even reverence within the smoldering gaze of his fiancé's dark eyes.

Better Than a Rubber Duck by WingsofWriting

Otabek really, really didn't anticipate any complications from taking that corner office, no one wanted. He certainly didn't expect a blonde companion with an opinion on everything, despite having no basis of knowledge for it.

But There’s a Comfort in Failure by @punktsuki  

924 - complete

“How can you still look so attractive while crying” He breathed.

Yuri’s head snapped up at that, heart sinking. No. Otabek was not to waste these words on him.

Not your usual fantasy by arcsinx

19.2K - complete

Yuri's first impression of Almaty is that it's way hotter than St Petersburg. Otabek doesn't seem to be bothered much with that information when Yuri lets him know about it while fanning himself with a leaflet from their air company. He doesn't seem to be bothered either when Yuri lets him do all the work and gather their baggage from the carousel.

Yuri's leopard print stroller bag stands out like a flash of neon amidst the others, but he was of the mind that since he was moving to another country while four months pregnant under his mate and his family's insistence he had the right to do whatever the fuck he wanted.

Songs for Teenagers by @nezumibites  

35.7K - WIP

After the Grand Prix Final, Yuri heads back to St. Petersburg to essentially live with Yuuri and Viktor as they all train for the next skating season. Since there's no rush to start working on programs quite yet, his biggest problem is boredom and loneliness. Ever since leaving Otabek back in Barcelona, the two have been messaging and calling daily only to get closer. Yuri's feelings start to develop, but he doesn't know what to call them or how to sort them out. Then, Viktor, Yuuri, and even Otabek surprise Yuri with a plane ticket to Almaty to spend three weeks with his newfound best friend turned crush. Yuri is relieved at the fact that he'll have things to do and someone to spend time with, but terrified at the fact of making anything weird especially since he doesn't know how Otabek feels and they've only just begun getting closer as friends. This is his first actual friendship and he can't risk ruining it over something as stupid as "love" or whatever this feeling might be. This trip could either be a smooth ride or a car crash and all he can do is wait to see what happens.

i see you in the stars by PixieLIA

1K - complete

“You know, Hevelius only created Lynx as a constellation because you have to have the eyes of a tiger to spot it, not because it looks like anything feline. It got mistranslated between Polish and English, people started calling it Lynx instead of Tigris in official journals.”

Otabek pauses and wonders if Yuri’s listening, or if he cares. Otabek doesn’t know if he even cares. He continues anyway.

“The brighter one next to it, that’s the tip of Ursa Major, the Great Bear. I think they ended up backwards, you’d think the tiger would be defined and strong always with the bear hibernating the winter away. But it’s not, Lynx fades in and out of view all the time.”

Or, sometimes all it takes to be true to yourself is to be true to someone else.

Four in Your Cupboard, One in Your Bed by Lee Bright Rose

910 - complete

Yuri Plisetsky is a little shit and won't get out of bed when Otabek is trying to ask the most important question of his life. Luckily Otabek is not so easily discouraged.

All is Fair in Love and War by babybirdi

35.4K - WIP

Yuri Plisetsky is fourteen and a top student attending Yakov's Academy for the Gifted in Leningrad (modern day Saint Petersburg) when the war arrives. His mentor and idol, an officer for the Soviet Union and graduate of Yakov's Academy, Victor Nikiforov, appears in the early hours of the morning to whisk Yuri out of Leningrad to safety, accompanied by Yuri's fellow student, Mila.

All does not go as planned. Mila and Yuri are separated on their journey, and Yuri finds himself alone in a foreign country for two and a half years, trying to make his way home to his Grandfather in Moscow all the while. Unbeknownst to Yuri, Yakov and a group of Soviet Officials are searching for him with the intent of dragging him right back into the center of the war. Except Yuri does not want to go.

What Yuri needs is a hero. What he doesn't expect is the one he gets.

It’s hard to look cool when you’re having sex.

Better For It by @nuttinonice  

81K - WIP

After a car accident in Kazakhstan, Otabek's the only family left for his little sister, Mara. Taking her in should be an easy yes, but for 23 year old Yuri, being a pseudo-parent, or being anything other than just a skater and a boyfriend had never crossed his mind. There has to be a way to make things work. Stay on the ice and take care of a toddler, take care of Otabek, make enough money to feed the three of them. He at least has to try.

" Otabek was going to adopt a kid? That was something permanent. He felt like a horrible person for not immediately jumping to support that, but Mara was only, what? Four? Maybe five? Of course Otabek should take her in, but what did that mean for Yuri? He was only twenty-three and they both had careers. Their relationship couldn’t possibly be ready for something like that. He didn’t know what to say. "

Who Gives a Puck? by @ashthe7th 

117K - WIP

Yuri wonders when things between him and Otabek changed. Okay, so having drunken sex that one night might have been a big hint. But sex – drunken or sober – isn't Yuri's thing. Isn't, wasn't? Fuck.

While Otabek's matchmaking mom makes everything more difficult, Yuri tries his hardest to be a supportive best friend and not ruin every-fucking-thing, except he secretly wants to. Otabek's friends are the absolute worst at helping, but also might just have the best ideas.
