Summary
After Logan moved in, Wade expected things to get better. But as days passed into weeks, Logan was growing distant and turning more to the bottle.
It was starting to piss Wade off, actually. He’d offered him a home. A broken, stinky, narcotic filled home, but a home nonetheless. Wade thought it was— he was— enough, and it stung that apparently he had guessed wrong.
It wasn’t until he’d received a call with another voice on the line telling him to come get Logan’s drunk and violent ass from the bar before someone died that Wade finally could pick up the pieces.

Summary
Two years have passed since the Ceremonial Duel, and everyone's lives continued in a monotonous pattern.
Yugi dropped out of school and spends his time at local teashops. Kaiba cut all ties with everyone and spends his time in the solitude of his home.
Eventually, the one who had always seemed to exist in-between the cycles of life and death wakes up in a forest clearing with no knowledge of the cause.
Atem.
But time changes people, and nothing seems to be the same. -

Summary
All his life Yugi was haunted by the stories his grandfather told him. Stories of two creation gods from an ancient and outdated belief system, and The Place, where one of them was frozen to stone and waiting to be found. Years after his grandfather passed and the nightmares seemingly stopped, Yugi did his best to not look back at the unsettling tales and instead preferred wasting his days away with his best friend and housemate Jonouchi.
...Until the nightmares returned and lead him stumbling down a hill to The Place, and he found himself face to face with an old bronze casing containing the fabled Sun God himself: Atem.

Summary
Yugi is a world renowned EDM artist with a bit of a party problem, but everyone loves him (from a safe distance). Probably the happiest person on Earth. Also a little vulgar with a poor diet.
Seto Kaiba is the owner of the world's largest sound production company, a record label, an amusement park, and anything else he wants. He signed as well as sponsors Yugi for all of his festivals and gigs.
Atem is an aerial silk dancer that lives in his quiet studio downtown. Very kind, but a little old fashioned. Thinks that having a bike, movies, and some old vinyls will probably entertain him forever.
After a run-in (and a few bad jokes) at the same bar, Yugi and Atem somehow become fond of each other even though Atem hates the "electrical vomit," and Yugi thinks that Atem is the most senile person he's ever seen. -

Summary
"You’re a brave pioneer. But I want to be with you when you’re discovering it all. If you would’ve just told me you wanted to try to do a Christmas thing, I’d have helped you set up everything and saved you from a cookie catastrophe.”
Seto shrugged but Atem saw a small smile, and felt comfort when Seto’s hand squeezed his.
“You have enough to stress about,” Atem continued. “You don’t have to get this perfect. This… idea of family, and dating… we both are unpracticed. Don’t take the burden all on your own. We’re a team, Seto. Let me dance and slip up with you. Alright?”Tiny Christmas gift one-shot for Selena <3

Summary
Words bubbled out from Yugi’s lips and he wasn’t sure where they came from or if he was thinking at all:
“I’m here, I always will be, I’ll protect you.”
It was odd, he thought, that he chose to say those things to an entity that could end the world with a mere look. Maybe it was because Yugi felt like something else, something beyond any sort of praise he had ever given himself. He fell through the gates of Atem’s heart without realizing it and saw the world becoming. -

Summary
Growing tired of the Kaiba brothers humiliating him and his spooky antics, the Canterville Ghost eventually stopped showing himself to anyone.
Realizing that he missed the Pharaoh and that his brother did too (though he certainly would never admit it), Mokuba began his own little game of tricks to provoke the ghost into appearing once more. -

Summary
Seto rested his chin on Atem's shoulder, spoke into his skin. “You know I couldn’t say it even if I wanted to.” A dramatic exhale as he started kissing Atem’s neck, grateful when the shorter man stretched his shoulder downwards for easier access. He could hear tiny moans in Atem’s throat, still quiet in his body, not quite emerging past his lips.
“Consider my ass a New Year’s gift.”
aka This is just a little bit of Atem/Seto domestic fluff for New Years.

Summary
“Do you ever,” Seto considered asking the wrong questions. He wasn’t talking to a human. “Do you think it’s okay to hold onto things you can never have again?”
There was a pause, and Seto supposed it was because he was terrible at phrasing questions when he was sad.
“Well,” Atem sighed. “Yes, and no. I think, logically, you shouldn’t. To me, it is the same as wishing you were a year younger. Or even, the same person you were fifteen seconds ago. No matter how much money and smarts you have, you can’t fight time. Not a single thing in the world can. So, why pretend to?” -

Summary
Playing pretend was easy, but it was tiresome.
Atem and Seto are both living in dorms, but have yet to come out to their colleagues and families. So, they found refuge in Atem's childhood home- escaped the nostalgic summer heat and found warmth in each other.

Summary
“Whatever,” he sat up with some effort, all of his weight on one leg. “Thanks anyway.” He put up a signature smile. “You’ll end up seeing me at track competitions if you’re good enough. So I’ll at least let you in on my name.”
“But I don’t care to know your name.”
“Why?”
“Because I only care to take down the names of people I think I’ll lose against.”
“That’s rude.”Just a story about some closeted gay kids who love to run and cause problems.

Summary
"Look at the moon, it shines for us,” Phos said.
“Oh?”

Summary
"I walked into the ocean just because I could."
Oh? And what did you find?”
Cinnabar swallowed nothing. “Fish, of course.”A one-shot about beaches and first kisses.

Summary
“I respect what you’ve done, what you’ve created on your own. But I still hate you, Kaiba. You accept death as plainly as I would. People like us shouldn’t live.”
Seto stretched his back. “Why not off yourself, then?”
“I’ll live with guilt until I’m as lucky as you,” the man replied.
“So this is luck, then?" Seto sat up. "I figured luck would mean I get to live out a peaceful life.”
“Luck couldn’t grant you that Kaiba, you’re simply undeserving.”In which Kaiba has a conversation with a man who intends to kill him in the comfort of his own home, both of them unable to forget the crimes they've committed and the deaths they've caused.
Not a light read. Abstract depictions of death and the thought processes before it occurs.

Summary
The boy couldn’t speak.
His throat had broken.
He could only manage to say one thing after a rough swallow that felt like daggers.
“What year is it?”
The man spoke through his shaking fingers.
“2026.”In which Atem returns and is granted a second chance at life. He seeks out Yuugi, and finds that things are definitely not the same.
