What makes this a gem: This fic was published relatively soon after the series ended and everyone was buzzing with speculation about what Yuuri's stay in Saint Petersburg would be like. Altschmerz first grabbed my attention with its unusual title, defined in the summary, and kept me engaged with its evocative writing and realistic, bittersweet depiction of Yuuri's POV, his anxiety, and his relationships, including some very wonderful friendship moments. Although ostensibly angsty, Altschmerz deals with the issues at hand in such a mature and respectful manner that I never once felt overly upset; rather, that I was in good hands. It's a big read for a one-shot, at 15k, but I couldn't stop once I'd started. In the time since it was posted I've read many other post-canon Saint Petersburg fics, but Altschmerz will always be the definitive take on it for me.
