Ever since the coffee shop incident, Otabek personally sends Yuri every single one of his snaps, which are literally all the same three things: Otabek at the gym in a sleeveless shirt, Otabek on a run in a sleeveless shirt, Otabek in his bed in a sleeveless shirt, and JESUS CHRIST, does this guy own anything else?

Or, Otabek is a fuckboy and Yuri can't deal.

There's no comfort. Yuri doesn't let him turn away or hide but sets him on fire with his gaze. There's only a minute tremble in Yuri's lips, and Otabek finds himself struggling for words to express himself. He feels like he's been flayed open. By the words, but mostly by that tiny fraction of uncertainty in Yuri's face. He doesn't need much until he needs everything.

Otabek still has far to go, but at least he's moving in the right direction.

"Are you happy that I failed? That I still don't know? That I couldn't stay-" He clutches at his hair. "I fell in love, Mom. It hurt so much to know you'd tell me to leave him." It's too late to stop the horrid, painful cracking of his voice and being. "And it hurt to know that was all I could do, anyway, because I’m so fucking useless."

Otabek is the expert on leaving, but he's slowly learning to stay.

Sticker Tiger

Sticker Tiger by elektrozavodsk (@northwestern-airfield)

There is a time in February when Otabek realises he's begun appearing at the fringes off Yuri's selfies. A hand there, a shoulder here. A profile behind Yuri, a pair of dark eyes. Not as straight-on like in the picture from the restaurant, but pieces of him here and there, as if Yuri is collecting him, shard by shard.

Welcome to Otabek's relentless quest to keep hurting himself, which includes falling in love.

Time (Testing Limits & Breaking Through)

Time (Testing Limits & Breaking Through) by TalesFromPerdition

At the next Grand Prix, Yuri is determined to win by more than twelve one-hundredths of a point. But with only a week and a half until the Rostelecom Cup, Victor drags them all out to watch a stupid meteor shower. Someone should have warned Yuri to be careful what he wished for.

How the Universe thought that the solution to his wish was turning Victor and Yuuri into kids, Yuri didn't know. But it's his fault, right? So the least he could do is try to keep the pint-sized skaters alive until they turn back.

Come Stumbling In

Come Stumbling In by larkscape

Yuri sends a dinner table selfie with Yakov and Lilia scowling in the background behind his smirking face.

[Sent 19:06] they hate sns even more than you do    [Received 19:07]    I don’t hate sns, I just don’t have much use for it [Sent 19:07] liar. send me photos! you never post photos, your insta is sad and empty

In response, Otabek sends a spectacularly poorly-lit view of the corner of his living room, and either he’s fucking with Yuri on purpose or he’s just that bad at photography. It’s kind of amazing, either way.

Yuri learns how to be friends. Then he learns — against his will, thanks — how to have a crush. Then he learns that seeing your crush in your own damn shirt is a one-way ticket to a heart attack.

He never asked for this.

Waiting For Day

Waiting For Day by JBankai89 (@jbankai89)

All Yuri ever wanted to be was a dancer. However, as an unwed omega, he never did have the luxury of choosing his own path. When his grandfather, a general in the Russian Empire’s army, is relocated to Kazakhstan, Yuri had no choice but to go with him.

Unfortunately, little does Yuri know how drastically his life will change when he arrives—behind closed doors, his fate is made for him when his grandfather chooses for him a Kazakh husband, a soldier named Otabek Altin.

Who Gives a Puck?

Who Gives a Puck? by AshSeven (@ashthe7th)

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.

Yeah, and on top of that, he's somehow become a meme??

“Hey.”

Yuri knocks his big toe against Otabek’s temple, heel resting in the divot of his shoulder. Otabek looks up from reading Pride and Preamble or whatever the fuck, sandpaper tongue licking his lips, a question in his eyes that he doesn’t seem to think is quite worth vocalizing.

“You should get Twitter.”

"... Okay."

This, as Yuri would come to classify it later, is the beginning of the end.

or: Yuri gets unsolicited vocal lessons, Mila runs damage control, Viktor and Yuuri get into the Christmas spirit, and Otabek becomes a Twitter God.

Kick the Tires and Light the Fires

Kick the Tires and Light the Fires by kawwwaritai

Otayuri Week Day 4: "Heat", "I can't carry it for you but I can carry you", and in the epilogue, "song that makes you want to fall in love"!

Otabek and Yuri have admired each other's skills for years, but they've never connected, despite flying for the same airshow audiences around the country. One, a World Champion, a competitive civilian pilot, the other, a Major, dedicated to the Air Force. One always in the sky, the other always on the ground, taking turns as they watch each other perform.

And then there's JJ. And he's sick to hell of watching this ridiculous pining. It's time to "kick the tires and light the fires" - blow quickly through the preflight inspection so that this (air)ship gets moving, pronto.
