For the Love of Writing

I’ve been reading Yugioh fic lately to try to keep up my motivation as I work on Tamer of Beasts (though it’s perhaps ended up being more of a distraction, oops...). I’ve ended up accumulating a bit of a wishlist of fics I never knew I wanted in my life, but now would love to read if only I could find them:

• Yugi x Yami Yugi (or Atem) palace drama, set in Ancient Egypt, of course, with Yami | Atem as Pharaoh and Yugi as his consort, with emphasis on the courtly intrigue (really I just want Silk and Honey, which I’ve really been enjoying, but Yugi x Yami | Atem instead of Joey x Kaiba)


• Yugi x Yami Yugi post-canon fix-it where Yami Yugi decides to stay after the ceremonial duel, spontaneous kiss ensues, and the rest is just them getting used to Yami Yugi being a real person and being sweet together (basically the feelings going on in A Hotter Touch, but longer)


• Marik x Ryou Bakura post-canon ghost hunting road trip, because I’ve been wanting a ghost hunting show in my life since I started watching the X-Files, and who better to go on it and work through some trauma on the way (entirely inspired by Down the road, which is 100% on to something)

Honorable mention goes to my craving for a spooky Yugi x Yami Yugi haunted house fic, where Yami is the ghost and Yugi comes to terms with and eventually falls for his live-in specter, doubly satisfied by the incredibly atmospheric Keep the Light Shining and the fun, still ongoing Chained to You.

Will I end up just writing them myself? Only time will tell.
