My Failures Have Made Me Better

~~COVER ART IS NOT MINE~~

Upon returning home from his devastating defeat at the Grand Prix Finals, Yuuri Katsuki falls deeply into depression. He feels like a failure that will never accomplish anything, and his family and few friends are the sole reason he hasn't ended his seemingly worthless existence. After a certain incident and Yuuri feeling overwhelming guilt for what he's put his family through, Yuuri's family convinces him to pick up skating again, but he only does it to make them happy and doesn't get any satisfaction or enjoyment from it. Until he meets Viktor Nikiforov, the skater he used to idolize before he turned emotionally numb. Viktor makes Yuuri feel again, makes him happy to skate again, and makes him feel wanted and hopeful.

{{Yuuri may be kind of OOC, because his character in this was inspired by the way my depression is. Might sound somewhat self-absorbed or something, but I feel like this is definitely a way the story could have played out if the video of Yuuri skating Viktor's routine either never existed or just didn't get posted or viewed.}}
