Bakura and Atem should've been childhood friends

Part 2

[correct-yugioh-quotes]

Yugi: you know, there’s a whole archaeology fandom out there that writes pornographic fanfiction about you two

Atem: That’s disgusting. Don’t they know it’s insulting to cast insinuations upon the dea-

Thief King Bakura: is it good pornography

[chronophobica]

au where plan A is to sneak into the palace and seduce the pharaoh in order to assassinate him as revenge for the massacre of bakura’s village. if that doesn’t work then plan B is to release a dark god onto khemet. surely nothing can go wrong with this

Follow up to this

(Read right to left l)

I randomly slapped some Timeous features on Atem cause I already said he was from Atlantis XD

[romanceddawn]

yugi and atem in a post canon scenario always going to hang out with bakura and ryou at their apartment and stay the night, and it happens so much that ryou is eventually like "why dont we all just buy a bigger place together?" and everyone tries to play off how bad they want that but they all agree to

when they're actually looking for places, its starts out as just a big apartment like 'oh haha just a starter place until all of us figure our lives out and go our separate ways' but somewhere along the line they've all decided they may as well get a house instead because why not if they're all putting money towards it, and then they settle in and make it so much their home that they all agree it'd be silly to leave, they may as well just spend the rest of their lives together there haha its no big deal (it is such a big deal that they're all separately trying to figure out if they can do a 4 way marriage)

"What a legacy it is you leave, eh, Pharaoh?"

Alternatively: "Ruining your daddy's legacy really gets you, huh?"

[hereforthefunnyguys]

Casteshipping where atem is just kind of into tkb as a stereotypical bad boy while bakura is still definitely on the path to vengeance is really funny because its like:

TKB: I HATE you I am going to KILL you and EVERYONE you care about with my AWESOME SWORDS and INCREDIBLE MUSCLES

Atem: Really. Tell Me More. (still said in atem monotone but he's playing with one of his earrings while smiling)

TKB:

TKB: I can see what you're trying to do here. Absolutely not. What the fuck is wrong with you? Your dad killed my FAMILY. You can't worm your way out of this with big sparkly eyes and tee-heeing like that. There must be something deeply wrong with you. This is obviously a mercy kill on my part. Prepare for death, little prince.

TKB:

TKB: But like I'm not going anywhere right now, so do you want to hear about how I got this super sick scar on my right eye that one time i wrestled a lion. because not to brag or anything but i totally won. Against a lion. haha. A really big one too and - (gets hit on the back of the head by Mana with a steel chair)

Jounouchi: I knew it! You two ARE having sex!

Atem, looking up: Really? Bakura, why didn't you say something? I would have put down my book.

[resuri-art]

"What is my favorite assassin doing here so early?"

"You have other assassins?" *gasp* "I thought we were on a exclusive relationship. I'm so offended."

When i got the Yu-Gi-Oh autisim instead of the being good at math or science autisim

[sitabethel]

Okay, bit listen...

Afterlife Atem x TKB fic where they get married and TKB moves THE ENTIRE VILLAGE into the palace, and the utter chaos which ensues as Kul Elna throws the biggest party the afterlife has ever seen to celebrate

[bakawitch]

Haha random au

Atem wants to do something nice for tkb, so he invites him on a vacation for two that he won at a raffle or something and they go there and Bakura is convinced that the only reason Atem invited him on a semi-romantic get away alone is because he wants to kill him.

So like any smart person, Bakura would instead constantly make attempts at Atem's life so he wouldn't be the one to die, but all his murder schemes fail and end up looking like weird attempts at flirting on his side and Atem is completely charmed by that and he thinks Bakura's only goal by accepting the invitation is to woo him.

Hijinks ensue and they accidentally get married or something.

[antaresr]

A post- canon Casteshipping, in the afterlife, slow burn probably.

Atem sometimes wonders what happened to TKB and the villagers of Kul Elna, if they are in the afterlife like him, if the gods decided that Ammit ate their hearts or if Zorc made them all disappear.

One night Atem can't sleep, thanks to the time he spent with Yugi he knows that a glass of milk can help, he goes down to the kitchens and when he is about to enter TKB is at the window, fleeing, with a bag on his shoulder and a piece of bread in the mouth.

Atem doesn't say anything and TKB doesn't notice his presence and disappears into the night, Atem goes into the kitchen and takes his glass of milk and goes to bed.

The next day he orders that an extra dinner be left on a kitchen table, the next day the plate is empty which means that Bakura accepted the food, this happens for a long time, and during that time he hears the palace servants complaining of disappearances of things such as fabrics, precious stones, metals, needles and spools of thread.

During one night, with a light sleep, Atem hears someone enter his room through the balcony, nothing happens, the visitor leaves just as he entered, in silence, however the next day when Atem wakes up he sees that there is something in the room table next to his bed.

There on the table is a shenti woven with precious stones, the same ones that disappeared from the palace.

A gift from a thief to a pharaoh.

Un pas de deux avec une reine.

– "A duet with a queen."

What am I looking at? An MMF ballet AU featuring mainly Thief king Bakura, Yami Yugi, and genderbent Atem! Set in 1910 Paris, it's a winter tragedy playing out in the lead up to New Year's Eve.

Summary? Atem Sennen, reining queen of the Parisian ballet world, comes into a pinch when her duet partner Mahad becomes gravely injured and unable to dance the grand opening of the newly built Millennium Stage with her. To make up for it, her instructor puts her into classes with their studio's most promising male talents: Bakura and Yami. Well versed in duets and with opposing goals of their own, they take on the challenge of scoring the coveted couple's dance with Atem. But she really, really doesn't want to dance with either of them.

Heyyyy, how's it going? Look at me posting a personal project again! I figured it might be time to stop moping and instead share an AU that I've been working on recently. I'm really excited for it and I already wrote a lot of notes plus some words.

It's a proper Sad Story a la Moulin Rouge (iykyk), told from everyone's perspective except Atem's to really hammer home how Atem is treated by the YGO narrative: as a caretaker who only exists as an extension of others' stories. Hence also the genderbend. Which is also intended as a commentary on how women were so rarely allowed to tell their own stories.

The ship is self indulgent to the max though. It feeds back into the narrative, TKB as Atem's foil and YY as Atem's mirror. But ultimately? It is because I want it to be. What's more self indulgent than a rare pair that doesn't yet exist? The caste is super self indulgent too, it's in no way happy or fun. This is a tragedy for a reason! Hurt fic my beloved <3

I don't know how I'll finish this or how I'll keep writing it? I have a ton of ideas but energy levels are crashing more often than not, so I'm having a lot of trouble with writing or doing anything really. But it would be really cool to write or post it in the countdown to NYE, at the same time that the story plays out. Well, I suppose we will see.

Feel free to ask questions in the ask box or comments, I'll happily talk about them <3

Also pls don't judge my French, I don't actually speak it, I used a translator </3 Tell me if it's wrong though, I'll change it <3333
