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

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

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.

"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.”

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.
