Otabek visits Yuri in St Petersburg and he can't help but feel nervous.

Endurance and Peach Tea by chapstickaddict

Yuri hummed. His body didn’t uncurl, but instead of pressing his face into the fold of his legs, he rested it on his crossed forearms. Tilting his face towards Otabek, he looked for the bronze metal. The colorful ribbon snuck into the folds of his jacket, hiding his prize from view. Yuri reached out, and Otabek let him pull the ribbon to bring the metal into the light.It was beautiful. Heavy and ornate, with the front masterfully detailed. The perfect symbol of success. Yuri flipped it over, admiring Otabek’s name carved along the back. Wait. “Did they spell your name wrong?” he demanded, straightening. Otabek made a noise beside him. 

It takes three years for Yuri to figure himself out and get his head on right. He drags everyone along for the ride. Otabek is the only one to go willingly.

Yuri is like a meteorite, caught in his atmosphere. If he doesn’t take care of him, he’ll completely burn up, and there won’t be anything left for him to salvage. 

(Or: Three times, Yuri and Otabek kiss, only to never speak about it again.)

Otabek is too damn perfect. Plain and simple. It frustrates Yuri to no end, but he loves him all the same.

Yuri tucks his face into his outflung arm. "I haven't done anything with anyone." Since it's Otabek, he doesn't have to explain. He can just look at the way the grass bends under his arm, trace his eyes down the blades into the shadow of his body. "You didn't tell me how it doesn't work. I want to know."

Otabek sighs. "It doesn't fit."

As if Yuri could resist that challenge.

Top SFW Fics

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?

Never Felt Right Calling This “Just Friends” by @punktsuki

1.3K - complete

He can’t. He shouldn’t. But god just the sound of Otabek’s slow, rhythmic breathing as he lays so close to him has set Yuri’s imagination alight. What would it sound like closer, faster, heavier and hot in his ear, on his neck, in his mouth? Fuck.

soldier boy, tripping over himself to win my praise by thissupposedcrime

38k - WIP

Yuri cannot crater down the path Victor blazed, happily forsaking Russia and his career for an international love affair. Neither will Kazakhstan's favorite son.

Or Yuri and Otabek from 2016-2026 and the competitions, weddings, and longing that define them.

Summer, 2019

“Yuri, why are you photoshopping Victor into advertisements on male baldness?” Otabek’s voice croaks out from the bedroom’s doorway, rough from disuse at 3 AM.

“You’re the one who told me to control my temper by doing something relaxing,” Yuri replies, distracted as he edits a shine to Victor’s forehead.

Otabek is confident that somewhere in America, Leo de la Iglesia is frantically researching, “How to host an intervention when your friend is dating a jerk?”

till our compass stands still by dinosar

somehow, somewhere along the way, a line had blurred into something less distinct, and yuri had come to the sudden realization that maybe he was in love with his best friend.but of course, he'd had to realize it at the worst possible time.

The Bodyguard by ArabellaFaith

51.6k - Complete

Admin note: Please make sure to read the warning in the notes on the first chapter of this work.

Yuri is a high class escort that specializes in fetish. If you can dream it, he'll make it happen - for a price. But putting himself at the mercy of his clients has ended badly before, and he hires bodyguard Otabek Altin to step in when things get out of hand. It's supposed to be an easy job. It's supposed to be just work. Neither of those things stay true for long...

Just A Little Prick by accidental-mormon (crazyhomoinspace)

Yuri Plisetsky is a tattoo artist at the locally-famous eros + agape body arts. When Otabek Altin accompanies a coworker for his first tattoo, he finds that it's not the artwork that draws his eye. [tattoo artist!yuri] [dj!otabek]

Yuri’s Kitten by BoxWineConfessions

5.2k - Complete

“I don’t believe you’re actually a witch,” The crystal ball plugs into the wall, and Georgi had to consult the instruction booklet for his tarot deck during the reading.Georgi leans over his crystal ball and leers at him. “I’m not the one who’s having a hard time telling my boyfriend I’m a desperate needy bottom. So just drink this,” Georgi tucks a small glass bottle with a cork stopper on the top into his palm. “And let Georgi’s love potion work it’s magic.

OR

Otabek wants nothing more than to bottom for Yuri, but can't seem to bring himself to ask. He seeks help from the good witch Georgi, who sells him a potion that will grant him his deepest desires. Turns out the optimal way to get Yuri to fuck him, is to become a needy cat boy in the throes of heat.

Top SFW Fics

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

1.2K - complete

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.

Top NSFW Fics

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.

Cop a Feel by @titaniumplatedspine

15K - WIP

When Officer Yuri Plisetsky is sent to a bar fight in the middle of his dinner break, he never expected to encounter someone like Otabek Altin. After accidentally groping the man's truly magnificent package, he wants nothing more than to really get a hand on the other man, but his job won't let them be together. Otabek is determine not to let that stop them, and does his best to pursue Yuri and convince him they do have a future. When a dangerous undercover operation goes sideways, it can either bring them together or destroy their chance of a relationship forever.

OWC Weekly Update!

This blog has been kind of inactive lately and we would all just like to take the opportunity to apologise for that. Some new mods have joined the team: @phaytesworld @pllsetskyonice and @tvwrambling - and we’re bringing back an old feature that some of you might remember from the blog’s early days. So, without any further ado, here’s the Weekly 3x3. Thank you for all the support!

Photo albums and raspberry kisses by @madamredwrites

1.8K - Complete

When Yuri is given the task of house-sitting Viktor and Yuuri's apartment and looking after Makkachin while they are enjoying their honeymoon, Otabek joins him so that he doesn't get bored to death.

Which is fine — he loves spending time with Yuri —, until Yuri has the amazingly stupid idea of trying to steal some of Viktor and Yuuri's baby pictures from the top of the bookshelves in the living room.

Shenanigans ensue.

Samson and Deliah by @boxwineconfession

3.9K - Complete

Otabek's days are filled with the sound of the dustpan hitting the floor as he sweeps up hair, the snip snap of scissors and the buzz of clippers against skin. The the acrid scent of sterilizing solution burns itself into his consciousness, and mutes the taste of food. It takes time for him to stop thinking about Yuri’s legs spread wide in the middle of the day. It takes a few days for him to look out the window and double take every time he sees someone with long blonde hair. He really hopes that Yuri decides to come back for a haircut.

Bean Toes by @kyashin

4.9K - Complete

“Why are you talking about my cat?” Yuri asks.

Otabek, whose voice he definitely hasn’t heard in the last few minutes (or he might have been paying more attention), explains, “She asked what you feed him.”

“Cat food,” Yuri says, flat.

Top NSFW Fics

the kind of world where we belong by @machinewithoutfeelings

4.1K - WIP Yuri is seventeen, and he is not prepared.

Send Nudes by @voxane

24.3K - Complete

Otabek has never really considered the idea of sending or receiving inappropriate pictures. It never interested him or crossed his mind. Until he thinks about the idea of Yuri Plisetsky sending him inappropriate pictures and then it becomes the only thing he can ever think about.

Cafe Latte by @ghostmoonchild

38.5K - WIP

Inspired by this kink prompt: "Character A works a minimum wage job at Starbucks and is trying to get a second job to help pay rent, but nothing is working out. Strapped for cash, Character A tries to find themselves a Sugar Daddy to pay the bills."

Basically, barista Yuri is bad at budgeting and is forced to find alternative methods to make rent. He works at a coffee shop owned by Viktor. Otabek comes from a wealthy family, and is willing to help in exchange for a questionable agreement.

the invisible ones by @worldofcopperwings

31.9K - WIP

In the present day, most rå have vanished and become myths and legends; bedtime stories to be told to children. The few wardens of the nature that still exist usually live among humans unnoticed, blending into the population. But now someone is targeting the rå, killing them off one by one. Otabek has been leading a solitary life in the wild, but he is asked to find Yuri Plisetsky, a skogsrå who is completely unaware that he is not human and has vanished from foster care. Somehow, Otabek needs to find Yuri before they do, and then teach him how to control his powers before he accidentally causes damage to himself or his surroundings.

Then there’s also the matter of dealing with the shady Agency that is meddling in the lives of the rå, as well as dealing with the hunters who seem determined to wipe every last rå off the face of the earth… no big deal, right?

(Or, the present-day AU that happily mixes inaccurate Scandinavian folklore with made-up fantasy elements.)

Real Winner by heartsdesire456

7.6K - complete

There were a lot of things Yuuri feared when Yuri Plisetsky said, “I need to talk to you,” and most of them involved mental images of dead bodies and blood everywhere. When Yuri called him and said he was coming over and for Yuuri to get rid of Victor for a while, he really worried he might’ve accidentally killed Yakov and wanted to tell someone before he got found out, knowing Victor would have a breakdown if he found out first.

The very last, last, last thing Yuuri ever expected was for Yuri to sit down on the couch and shove an ultrasound photo at him instead.

(Inadvertently: 5 Times Yuri Told Someone He Was Pregnant and 1 Time He Told The World)

heal thyself. by mosymoseys

12.5K - WIP

In which Yuri is a fourth-year emergency medicine resident, and Otabek is the hospital’s new trauma attending. They shout a bit at each other, but mostly they fall in love.

Or the overly accurate medical AU no one actually wants.

Friction by @lecheesie

49.6K - complete

Yuri is a 22 year old college student, Otabek is a 25 year old streamer who plays games for a living. Otabek's hot as fuck, and Yuri is gone on him.

You don't need to know shit about streaming or video games to enjoy this fic. They're really just background noise to how these two meet.

Suburbia by @dontstopyurinow  

2.5K - complete

Yuri is desperate. His husband Jean has left for work after blocking his credit card. As Yuri pouts by the window, he notices his new gardener. He is young, he is tanned, and dear Lord, his muscles glimmer with sweat under the sun. What’s his name again? Otabek?

Love Thy Neighbor by @ded-i-am-just-ded @lecheesie @titaniumplatedspine @thoughtsappear

2.2K - WIP

Yuri's new apartment is next to possibly the hottest man he's ever laid eyes on. Problem is, this man wakes up before the asscrack of dawn and sleeps while he's trying to party. As much as Yuri wants in his pants, he also wants revenge for the trouble Otabek got him in. This is how World War III starts.

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.

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

When your soulmate’s first words to you were supposed to be tattooed on your wrist, a blank wrist was quite intriguing and an open invitation to be teased.

Let’s take walks together. Let’s give each other nicknames. Let’s go on dates. Let’s talk on the phone all night long. Let’s hold each other. Let’s kiss and hug. And whoever falls in love first? Loses.”

Finger Guns by @francowitch

1.4K - Complete

Yuri Plisetsky had waited for this moment for a long while as he looked down the well chiselled form of the tan man below him. Otabek and Yuri had met and became quick friends when Yuri was only fifteen- it all changed though on his eighteenth birthday when the Hero of Kazakhstan asked the Russian Fairy out. They had shifted from best friends, to lovers. Three years later and they were still going strong despite the time apart for practices and competitions.
