It's time to start signups for this year’s Alchemy of Thiefshipping event!

We’re not sure how much interest there is this year, so we’re going to say that unless at least 5 people sign up, we won’t continue with the event.

If you’re not familiar with it, Alchemy of Thiefshipping is an event for Thiefshipping/Citronshipping fanfiction and fanart!

Both authors and artists will sign up, and then each author will be paired with an artist who will draw fanart based on the author’s fanfic!

If you’d like to check out the stories and art from last year’s event, here is the link to the Alchemy of Thiefshipping collection on AO3: 

https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Alchemy_of_Thiefshipping

Last year’s theme was magic. This year’s theme is: happy endings!

So we’re only looking for stories where, no matter how much angst happens along the way, our favorite couple gets a Happily Ever After in the end!

If you’d like to sign up, please send a message to this blog noting whether you’d like to sign up as an author or an artist.

Author signups will run through June. Artist signups will run through July.

For writers, a basic summary of your story will be due August 1. During the month of August, we will pair up authors and artists. Throughout September, authors will work on their rough drafts, and rough drafts will be due October 1. During October, artists will work on their art and writers can get their stories betaed (let us know if you need a beta) and finish up the final draft of their stories.

Posting of both art and fics will happen on November 1, so all art and fics need to be done by then.

Fics will be posted on AO3, so you must have an AO3 account to participate in this event as a writer. (If you don’t currently have an AO3 account, it’s free to sign up but it usually takes about a week or two before the site will send you a code to activate your account.) Once fics are posted on AO3, authors may post them to any other sites they wish to in addition. While fics must be complete by November 1, authors do not have to post the entire fic at once on AO3; they can post chapter by chapter.

Artists may post their art wherever they want, but they must send a link to the art to their author so that the author may include the art itself or a link to the art in their fic on AO3. AO3 does allow NSFW, so NSFW art IS allowed for this event. If the art is SFW and the artist chooses to post it on Tumblr, this blog will reblog it. This blog will also post links to all Alchemy fics on AO3 on November 1.

Thiefshipping, Citronshipping, Feefshipping (Abridged Thiefshipping) and FemThief/FemCitron are all allowed! Both canon-universe and AU fics are allowed. Please no fics pairing Malik and/or Bakura with characters besides each other—this is an event for Thief/Citron, not for Torn, Fracture, Eclipse, etc. Other pairings not involving Malik or Bakura are allowed as long as Thief/Citron is the main focus of the fic. Angst is allowed but please nothing where Malik or Bakura rape or abuse each other and no sad endings. Any rating from G to E is allowed. Both SFW and NSFW art is allowed.

If you have any questions, feel free to send a message to this blog, or to contact Midknight who is a mod of the event this year!

Watch this blog for more updates, for reminders about due dates, and for the eventual posting of art and fics for this project!

drew this for the fanfiction Jammed by @s-e-p-h-i-r-o-t-h 

it was made for the @alchemy-of-thiefshipping !

Bakura is just hissing at the jam because he no likey. I know i effed up the skin colour but I really was so damn tired as I finished this. 

[alchemy-of-thiefshipping]

Chapters: 1/? Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh! - All Media Types Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Thief King Bakura/Marik Ishtar, Thief King Bakura/Revival Jam Characters: Malik Ishtar, Thief King Bakura, Revival Jam Additional Tags: Revival Jam is Malik’s Ka, which is more-or-less his soul, Consentacles, Crack, Post-Canon, one short discussion of necrophilia in a later chapter, inappropriate use of shadow magic, Established Relationship Summary:

When Malik finally gets around to summoning his Ka, he finds it insultingly easy.

Unfortunately, un-summoning his Ka is far more difficult.

A very dramatic Bakura (ft. Ramses, the BEST DUAT HELLBEAST) for the @alchemy-of-thiefshipping project! My partner was @cardiaccrisis and is for their fic, Akh to the Future!  Please give it a read!!  I had a lot of fun trying to draw their very detailed Bakura and I hope he’s as fun and crazy as you imagined <3

Also his pose is based on this gif, because TKB is a memelord:

The Way Home (fic on AO3) by @mainstream-deviant

@alchemy-of-thiefshipping

For @mainstream-deviant ‘s fic! 

[alchemy-of-thiefshipping]

The fic that belongs with this artwork has been posted now!

Home by GestaltistCake

[alchemy-of-thiefshipping]

Sorry I’m a bit late, but I finally finished my submission for Alchemy of Thiefshipping!

It’s based of the fic Forbidden Scriptures by Supersteffy, which is a really sweet NSFW fic that was fun to read and illustrate!

This was my first time drawing something quite so nsfw so it was a bit of a challenge.

Art for If I Forget Everything Else by mostladylikeladythateverladied

Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh! Pairing: Thief King Bakura/Malik Ishtar (Citronshipping) Summary: Two years after the Ceremonial Duel, life is good for Bakura. He’s making a tabletop horror game with Ryou and he’s dating Malik, the love of his life.

It all crumbles away when he begins to forget things. Little things at first, then large swaths of his life slip from his mind. As his memories fail, so does his health. Medicine has no answer, so Malik and Ryou turn to the supernatural to find a cause and a cure before they lose Bakura again.

Contains: Hospitalization, Discussion of Terminal Illness, Explicit Sexual Content

Read on AO3

“Malik laughed, the sound growing in volume. Bakura joined him, cackling at their own secret joke. They were both fucked and they knew it. That didn’t mean they would cower from their fate. Even as the Winged Dragon of Ra rose before them, fear couldn’t touch Malik anymore. Not when he knew they would keep fighting.

Malik would keep fighting his fate, despite the heartache and failure. He would fight for Bakura and never give up.

Their laughter was lost in the roar of the ancient god. The creature reared back, flames racing towards them. Malik turned back to his partner one last time, reaching a hand out despite knowing they couldn’t touch. Even still, Bakura turned back, eyes watching Malik’s hand as it brushed against his arm.”

-From chapter two of Turning Memories written by @jesuisaubergine .

This is my piece for @alchemy-of-thiefshipping ! Make sure to read Turning Memories and the rest of the fics in the project.

This definitely isn’t the best art in the project, so make sure to look at the others! I’m so grateful that I was able to participate in this, it was a wonderful experience for me. Thank you all!

Title: When I Said, “Someone Fuck Me,” I Didn’t Mean Life

Summary: “This isn’t a thing of you having bad mental health. This is an illness. You need to treat it right, or it just gets worse.”

Bakura and Malik are perfectly normal people, with a perfectly functional relationship and perfectly good mental health, and perfectly fine temperments. If they said perfectly one more time, you might have even believed them. But that’s the thing - they didn’t.

In-Story Art: @thiefkingyall

Hey guys! Here’s my contribution to the Alchemy of Thiefshipping group! A friend drew this amazing cover for me because I still post things to wattpad and I wanted to share it on here, but the artist I was working with for this was @thiefkingyall and holy shit you guys are going to fucking love their art - it looks fantastic! I’ve had this idea for a while and I’m glad I finally got the opportunity to write it, so I really hope you enjoy it!

Chapter One

[alchemy-of-thiefshipping]

Are you still accepting artists ? I’m only now seeing this and it looks like so much fun.

Unfortunately official sign ups for artists were in September back when writers were first working on their stories.

~But~ if you’ve been reading the stories and there’s one that you particularly love, please draw fan art for it! You can tag alchemy of thiefshipping and send us a link so we can reblog it for you! 

Or if there’s a multi-chaptered story that you think you might want to draw a pic for, you can message me (@sitabethel, I’m one of the mods for the project), and I could message the writer for you and see if they’d want to share the complete story with you early for the sake of artwork (spoiler alert, I’m sure they’d be delighted to give an artist an early preview of their fic in exchange for an art piece). 

So just b/c you’re late for the party, plz don’t let that discourage you from jumping in and participating! There can never be enough thiefshipping art! 

[alchemy-of-thiefshipping]

Most of the fics are up! We did have a couple people who needed extensions so a couple more fics should be trickling in eventually, as well as new chapters from people with multi chapter fics, so check it out!

Here is the collection for the Alchemy of Thiefshipping project, a collection of Thiefshipping/Citronshipping fanfics and fanart featuring magic!

Not all works have been posted yet, so check the collection throughout the day as more works get posted. We’ll probably reblog this when all the fics have been posted.

[alchemy-of-thiefshipping]

Open Waters fic

for the @alchemy-of-thiefshipping. Specifically @scarsofra‘s upcoming fic where the thieves find a bitty kitty one rainy day

[alchemy-of-thiefshipping]

Here’s my piece for the @alchemy-of-thiefshipping project! A little late, sneaking in just under the wire of the due date, PHEW!

My piece was for @thedisposablevillain ‘s fic, When I Said, “Someone Fuck Me,” I Didn’t Mean Life which is stellar and you should all drop whatever you’re doing to go read it!

A bit of a spoiler for a later chapter but a cute scene I couldn’t help but feel for. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did reading, all the artists and writers worked so hard the past few months!

[alchemy-of-thiefshipping]

Pharaoh Atem would have killed you with your shadow, and you helped him pass on.

“I survived.”

Pharaoh Atem massacred an entire people, right down to the only person you ever loved-

“Why are you doing this?!” Malik finally rounded on the spirit, shoving him against a wall and glaring down into the space his face should have been.

Apep leaned heavily against the wall and ran his fingers through Malik’s hair again. Because you’re broken and I can help you fix yourself.

my piece for the @alchemy-of-thiefshipping project. it’s for @aspidosecalis fic Dark Spirit Light Spirit. it’s a preview of a future scene ;3 i plan on drawing more for this fic

two hues because i couldnt decide between them

[alchemy-of-thiefshipping]

Cover Art for @tia-lewise‘s fanfic Dark World Dealings~ The fic and art were done as part of the @alchemy-of-thiefshipping event! Go check out Tia’s fic with Thiefbaby Pan’s big adventure that his parents will probably never forget!

“Nobody ever said parenting was going to be easy, but when odd supernatural moments become a regular occurrence around your magical ritual-borne child, it certainly does throw an extra spanner in the works. Our long-suffering Thiefdads just can’t catch a - um, is that a portal to the Shadow Realm…? That’s a portal to the Shadow Realm. Well, fuck.

One silly journey, following Bakura and Malik as they adjust to life as a somewhat functional modern nuclear family. Humorous fluff with NSFW from the onset. What? Parents can still have sex, yano.”

@noussommeslessquelettes was approached for and has given permission to use Pan by Tia in advance :)
