OtaYuri Fic Rec

I haven’t actually read that many OtaYuri fics but these are my favorites!

My soul is an empty carousel at sunset by dawnstruck

Yuri grows up and grows older and grows into himself. Otabek helps. It just takes a while to get there.

Part 1 of Demi!Yuri

Under your skin the moon is alive by dawnstruck

E | 14.8K | 1/1 | NSFW

Long distance relationships aren't easy, but that just means they've got to make each moment matter, got to make it memorable, got to make it mean more.

Part 2 of Demi!Yuri

Once Mine, Now Yours by TripCreates

"You’ll have to come here to get it,” Yuri wrote.
Otabek smiled at the lack of denial Yuri showed for taking the scarf. “Maybe I will.”
“Try and take it back if you can.”
Otabek stared at his phone screen. Wait, was Yuri flirting with him?

Or while scrolling through Instagram, Otabek realizes where his missing scarf went.

“Asia sucked without you,” Yuri admits eventually after a moment, as he falls backwards onto the bed, his t-shirt riding up. It must be still hot in Saint Petersburg, if the forecast is to be believed, but Yuri has the hood up, obscuring his face at this angle. “But we all went back to the hot spring run by Katsuki’s family after the Fukuoka show, so I guess it wasn’t that bad.”

A story of a relationship, told in photographs and Skype calls.

anywhere i go, there you are by astrid_fischer

There must have been a moment. When everything changed, whether or not he knew it. There must have been, but it’s impossible to find now. The full-color truth of it is already saturating a slideshow of black and white mental images and he can’t remember what they looked like before.

or: it takes yuri plisetsky three years to realize he’s in love with his best friend.

Yuri has never been good with social interactions or with people in general. But there is a staring contest with Mila’s former classmate Otabek in a dingy diner at 2 AM, and then all of a sudden this Otabek guy wants to hang out with him… Motorcycle rides, sticky watermelon kisses and summer shenanigans ensue, and they spend the summer building their relationship while Yuri tries to come to terms with the fact that he just doesn’t fit into the norms of society.

Or: the fic in which Yuri is neuroatypical and a demisexual, and Otabek is just generally awesome and endlessly patient.

“Did you see the way that little girl looked at me? Kids. Little kids. They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I’m the monster? I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart or that sometimes I just wanna let ‘em.” “We have to get you out of here. Over the wall. We won’t stop until we find some place safe, okay? We’ll go. Together. No matter what we do, we can’t change the way people see us.” “You changed the way you see me... Didn’t you?

NIMONA (2023), based on the comic by ND Stevenson, who came out as transgender in 2022

Yurio ABSOLUTELY got lectured by almost everyone after his exhibition skate

Like cue Yakov’s yelling while Yurio just sips on his slushie

Mila throwing Yurio over her shoulder saying how the little ice kitty is all grown up now while Georgi wails about true love and Anya in the background

Victor very enthusiastically giving Yurio the birds and the bees talk ‘or in this case it would be the birds and the birds right? Bees and the bees? maybe Yuuri and I should just demonstrate’ 

Otabek thinking he’s being glared at by Yuuri, and when he finally has the courage to bring it up, Yuuri puts on his best Russian accent, goes into ‘Eros’ mode and says ‘if you hurt our Yuratchka, I’ll turn you into Borsch’… Otabek looking like he now needs a fresh pair of underwear and Yuuri laughing and telling him he’s just kidding, in reality he’s squinting because he can’t see without his glasses. 

Same, It's a miracle I'm not dead yet lol

I die a little everytime a pornbot follows me
