Walk with me through miscellaneous oneshots I've written over the years and have rescued from my Google Doc Graveyard.Each oneshot will be at least 1000 words (in the case of any exceptions, I'll preface the chapter by announcing the under 1K words word count, though that instance is very unlikely) and has been posted on AO3 as its own individual, complete work. (Most of these are well over 4K and some are as many as 15K, so they aren't really oneshots, but I'm too lazy to publish them each individually. XD)These stories aren't really oneshots, kind of like mini-stories, if you will.This book will be updated sporadically because there will only be new installments when I write a full oneshot, things I take a lot of time to fully develop and create. That said, when this book is officially finished, I will announce it, so this book will never go on a hiatus of any kind, even if I haven't updated in several months. Thank you!~Started: 6/2/20Finished: 0/0/0…

Yuri wove through the party, a glass of champagne in each hand, searching for his husband. They'd been invited to the Worlds banquet after placing gold and silver in said competition-- announcing their retirement just hours before.The crowd pushed in from all sides and Yuri compressed his already lithe form in an effort not to spill the drinks in his hands. Finally, as he entered a segment of the house that wasn't so crowded, he could walk normally again and caught a glimpse of that familiar dark undercut a bit ahead of him. As he approached, he verified that it was indeed Otabek and not JJ or some other asshole with that same, popular haircut, and walked into the room, Otabek's back to him. It was only when he was inside the door, however, that he noticed the other occupant of the space. A woman: tall, brunette, and leggy, with a long lilac dress swirling around her slim waist stood in front of Otabek, her arms snaked around his neck, her eyes shut. Kissing him, Yuri realized belatedly. Yuri couldn't move for a moment, just standing there and staring: his eyes raking over the intertwined figures before him. His husband, and a woman he'd never seen in his life.~~~Two weeks later, Yuri discovers that he's pregnant, and, finding himself emotionally incapable of aborting the fetus, he must figure out how to navigate the future with a desperate husband, a child on the way, and that familiar, all-consuming emptiness he'd thought he'd finally left behind.~~~Yes, this will be sad. Is it worth it? You decide.~~~A Yuri!!! On Ice, Otayuri fanfiction.~~~Complete~~~Started: 3/14/20Finished: 10/02/20…

The sequel to my previous oneshot, "Scathing," this fic is set approximately two months later (at the start) and can be read as a standalone, though I recommend reading "Scathing" first.Otabek Altin is a hardworking man, and after two months in San Piter, that quality has been honed to its finest. After two months' work with Yuri, Otabek is confident that he is not only a hardworking man, but a slightly masochistic one, given that he continues to bear a torch for a certain fiery blond, who seems ever so unlikely to reciprocate. But, as the days grow longer, trust is built, and several crisis are handled, might things change?And can Otabek's traitorous heart survive it, if they do?~~~Or: This is a birthday gift for the wonderful Taedae, who I hope gleans as much joy from this as I do from her presence in my life. ♥This fic will be updated every two weeks, with updates no less than 4,000 words.…

Completed! This is a Yuri!!! On Ice fanfiction following the four main characters (Victor, Yuuri, Yuri(o), and Otabek if you weren't sure) through life after season one. Fair warning, when I started this I had no plot-- one developed but it took a bit. The beginning is mainly fluff but once the story (for all intents and purposes) starts, it'll improve drastically. That's it, I hope you enjoy!EDIT (06/04/21): This story is a relic. If you're looking for good prose, plot, or characterization, do not read this. Check out the other fics on my account, which are significantly better- "Shattering Glass," especially. Thanks!Started- 8/19/19Finished- 10/24/19…

This is officially the sequel to Yuri!!! On Ice Book 1, but you don't have to had read that one to understand this one. This book carries an Otayuri-based plot and holds no carry-over from the first-- at least, nothing a reader wouldn't be able to understand. Taking place in 2017, this book follows the pair through several years of their lives, encountering obstacles and growing closer all the while. This summary sucks, I'm aware of that and I'll fix it sometime soon. But, for now, enjoy!EDIT (06/04/21): This story is a relic.

A Yuri!!! On Ice fanfic, taking place 8 years after the Grand Prix Final of 2016. This story's main plot revolves around the Otayuri pairing but there will be some Victuuri as well. This story will also *majorly* contain mpreg, but no smut or lemon because they just make me uncomfortable.For further information please read the Author's Note! EDIT (06/04/21): This story is a relic. If you're looking for good prose, plot, or characterization, do not read this. Check out the other fics on my account, which are significantly better- "Shattering Glass," especially. Thanks!(If you enjoyed this story and want more mpreg, I suggest that you try "Shattering Glass"- another Otayuri mpreg on my account. The writing in rhat one is much better, rest assured xD)Started- 9/23/19Ended-12/25/19…

That's what life's all about, though, right? Surprise?When Yuri is dragged into a bakery by his best friend after their yoga class, he doesn't expect to meet the man he'll grow to love, nor does he expect to find his future in the confines of the tiny, homey shop.

When Otabek first saw him he'd had the breath stolen from him. Soft, pink lips; a slim, almost frail build; and silky, golden hair that fell in waves down to the small of his back. The thing that caught Otabek's eyes and held him frozen in place, though, were the man's own. Striking green eyes that seemed to pierce your soul and see through your body were the first things that Otabek fell in love with. Cold and calculating at first, and warm and soft at the end, they were the one aspect of Yuri that he knew he would never lose. • A vaguely historical Otayuri AU.• Partially inspired by "Dyin' Ain't So Bad" from Bonnie and Clyde and just prostitution AUs in general. • Because of the gist of this story: this universe is one where prostitution is legal and regulated in 1917 New Orleans (the setting).• Don't be mistaken by the premise of the story: this isn't a smut-filled book-- tbh the concept scares me. • This is essentially the well(ish) written prostitution AU no one asked for.• Give it a chance and--• Enjoy!Started: 2/2/20Finished: 3/21/20Published: 4/2/20(The Yuri!!!

This is an original work I had to do for my Honors English I class.Set in the Great Depression, it follows 10 year old Lucy through life after her father's death.Fair warning: the story sucks and my writing has improved enormously in the three months since writing it. Also: as it's in a ten-year-old's perspective, the vocabulary and dialogue used is quite limited. Read with sympathy!Enjoy!Started: 10/4/19Finished: 10/4/19…
