{ COMPLETED } (02-12-23) THIS STORY IS SO OLD and written kinda poorly. but read it if you want lol. Otabek longs for something more then what his parents want him to do. He wants to venture out to sea with the person he loves and spend the rest of his life on wild adventures. Once he meets Yuri, a lost mermaid wishing for something more than life under the sea, his whole world changes. Will he be happy with the outcome. Or end up drowning in his life of sorrow and forced love. OTAYURI FAN FIC BASED OF LITTLE MERMAID Only a little though ;)

*this story was written by Gibslythe on ao3* "Two whole months of free laundry in exchange for two weeks of being my fake boyfriend. Deal?" Keith hesitated for a moment. Was this really worth it? Hardly. Lance was an asshole, and he wasn't sure what fake dating would entail. But, free laundry was free laundry, right? "Alright, it's a deal." Or: Lance makes the mistake of telling his Mom he has a boyfriend coming home with him for Christmas. Keith makes the mistake of agreeing to be Lance's 'fake boyfriend'. This is actually the best fic I've ever read. It emotionally destroyed me and then put me back together only to kill me again. Read on ao3 : http://archiveofourown.org/works/7454385

Otabek Altin, a well-known hero throughout the Five Lands, wants nothing more than to be the king's personal guard. Instead, he gets stuck protecting the mouthy Prince Yuri. Shouldn't be too much for a knight to handle, right? Yuri Plisetsky x Otabek Altin, Fantasy AU. There will be angst and smut in the later chapters! Some swearing and violence throughout! (RECENTLY EDITED)

When Otabek was given his first assignment in the Introductory Carer Program, he naively assumed that his debut case would be an easy one. Instead, he was paired with Yuri Plisetsky, a boy who never left his house and was something of a mystery and a point of pain for his plethora of carers he'd chased away. Initially, Otabek was skeptic. Never before had he met somebody quite so difficult to get through to, but he wouldn't allow himself to be discouraged. He was going to help this sad soul and get to the bottom of what had caused his anguish. {infrequent mild language, non-explicit scenes of sexual content} [completed]
