    Summary

    On March 10th, after his cataclysmic Worlds free skate, Yuri Plisetsky drops off the face of the earth with a retirement announcement and a pledge not to return. On May 12th, a stranger moves into the house next door to Otabek’s. On May 15th, Otabek Altin looks out his bedroom window to find Yuri Plisetsky standing on his front lawn.

    Huh.

    OR: Yuri Plisetsky, freshly retired from a shitty final few seasons under none other than the Evil Bitch herself, moves to Kazakhstan. When some of the students at his dance studio begin mentioning a retired Kazakh skater, though, Yuri cannot fathom how he's never heard of him--- especially when, apparently, it's his star student's brother. (As a side note, his neighbor is super hot and seems unbothered by the whole pregnant-single-foreigner thing...)

     

    TW: This fic contains themes of EDs, body image issues, abusive training practices, and the mental and physical recovery from all of the above. It's an important component of the fic, but not what it's centered around; that would be our Otayuri love story, because, duh. But sensitive parties, please exercise caution. <3
