YGO Rare Pair Week 2023 Day 2: Hurt/Comfort / Kiss / Rain

I finally banged out some writing! Here is some AsuMac or ReggieAsuka for the yugioh rare pair week because I need to live up to my CEO of AsuMac title oops

You can also read it on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/49407820/chapters/124685782

Fic below, the prompt I went with is Rain with a sprinkling of Hurt/Comfort thrown in:

---

Mac had gotten her ears pierced when she was seven years old, on a Saturday, at a strip mall Claire’s when she sat extremely still in that tall chair as the teen employee pulled out the piercing gun. Her dad squeezed her hand, seemingly more scared than she had been, and said, “You’re so brave, Mac.” She squeezed his hand back, or tried to, noting how warm her dad’s palm was, how it enveloped her hand completely, and the callouses at the joints of his fingers from the pen he used at work pressing against them all the time.

There was a burst of pain, and Mac had squeezed her dad’s hand as hard as she could, to prove to him how brave she was, and then he had helped her pick out an extra pair of earrings to take home. They settled on little silver planets, and her dad let her buy a rainbow choker, too. She stretched it out between her hands on the car ride home, watching the interlocking plastic loops expand and contract. Lulled by the rumbling of the car, she fell asleep, and her dad carried her inside, making sure the choker and earrings didn’t fall from her lap.

A year later, her dad got possessed, and Mac along with him.

The most annoying part was she had gotten used to it. She always hated hearing Tragoedia’s voice, had done her best to rebel against him, but now?

Shaking her head to clear the static didn’t help. It only reminded her of the silence she should enjoy.

She hadn’t worn earrings in nearly six months. After the transmitter shattered, there was too much going on to worry about her ears. Whether her dad was okay, for one. For another, who Mac was. She didn’t like to think about that second point for too long.

The earrings in the store window were small, almost delicate: two silver snowflakes set in the center with the tiniest rhinestone.

“Mac?” Alexis Rhodes’s voice cut through the silence. Mac put on the most neutral expression she could muster before turning to face her. She could never explain how relieved she was, hearing a familiar voice. And a warm one, at that.

Alexis clearly wasn’t bound to the same stoicism, her eyes widening with delight when Mac turned, and her suspicions were confirmed. She held her umbrella over her shoulder, her boots slightly damp. Mac kept herself from flinching as Alexis moved closer, droplets splashing her as they slid off the umbrella.

“Sorry,” Alexis gave her an apologetic smile. “What are you doing out here? Did you forget your umbrella?”

“I didn’t think I would be out so late,” she slipped into a smile easily. “The weather was fine this morning.”

A crack of thunder, the honking of several car horns stuck one after another in a line. How had she not noticed before? Even this was better than the silence that plagued her.

She nodded at Alexis’s umbrella. “I didn’t think you were into that kind of thing. Sheep tokens. Cute.”

Alexis blushed, her hands tightening around the handle. “I’m not. It’s Atticus’s – I borrowed it before I left his dorm last week.” She looked away, stammering, “Well, I mean, I hope he doesn’t need to leave the dorm today, haha! I figured I’d return it before the next time it rained, but it looks like I didn’t. Somehow, that makes me feel kind of bad.”

“Ah,” said Mac. She wished Alexis would look at her again. The big eyes and pink cheeks suited the otherwise usually composed duelist. “That does seem more aligned with what Rhodie would like.”

To Mac’s delight, Alexis’s cheeks reddened further. “That nickname is so embarrassing! I can’t believe he conned people into calling him that.”

She looked so perturbed that a laugh escaped Mac. She held her hand over her mouth as quickly as possible to conceal it, but Alexis met her gaze again, at least.

“I guess I don’t feel as bad about stealing his umbrella now that I know he still goes by that ridiculous nickname.” She turned to the window, her eyes widening when she saw the earrings.

“Speaking of ‘things I didn’t think you’d be into,’ were you looking at those earrings? They’re so cute.” She beamed, her eyes shining despite the gray air. “I didn’t know you liked that kind of thing, either.”

Neither did Mac. Truthfully, she didn’t like earrings like those; or, she wasn’t sure if she did. Too cutesy, childish, even. The Mac she was now didn’t. Maybe the Reggie she could have been, before Tragoedia ruined her life, would like them.

“I was just looking at them to pass the time,” she said instead. “Although,” she continued, watching Alexis lean in closer to the window display, “I think they’d suit you.”

“Me?!” Alexis straightened up so quickly her umbrella dropped a deluge of collected rainwater on her arm. She squeaked in discomfort before waving her free hand in front of her, laughing. Her cheeks had regained that pink tinge Mac liked so much.

Mac bit back a smile. She had never liked the color pink before.

“They’re really pretty,” said Alexis, softly touching the lobe of her ear beneath her hair. “But I don’t have my ears pierced.”

“Shame,” said Mac. “You’d look pretty in them.”

“So would you!” Alexis responded a little too quickly. “I mean, I think you should get them, if you like them. You do have pierced ears, right?” She peered at Mac, squinting like she was trying to see through her hair.

Mac shrugged. “I do. I haven’t worn earrings since the whole, you know, possession thing.”

“Ah, right,” Alexis said. She stood frozen in place.

Another car honked, a long honk. As if in response, the sky opened up, rain pouring down in ear-shattering roars.

“The rain’s really not letting up, huh,” Alexis said, tension broken by the shift in the weather. She gave Mac a small smile, holding her umbrella up slightly. “I’d offer to walk with you, but I don’t know if this umbrella will hold up against,” she glanced at the wall of water beating down from the awning, “that.”

“Thanks for the offer anyway.” Mac leaned back against the wall of the storefront. “Good luck getting back, though.”

“Yeah,” Alexis said, frowning at the rain. “I think it just got worse than it was? How is that even possible?” She took a tentative step forward.

Then, she stopped, closing her umbrella instead.

“What are you doing?” Mac found herself leaning forward, hand partially outstretched toward Alexis.

“Why don’t we walk around the shop a bit first?” Alexis suggested. “We can wait for the rain to die down a little. Plus, I can look for something for Atticus, to make up for stealing his umbrella.”

She turned back to Mac, the barest hint of apprehension written in the curve of her brow.

“Okay,” Mac agreed. Alexis’s sudden smile glowed, so brightly that Mac had to glance behind her to check that the rainclouds had not parted.

They crossed the threshold of the store, greeting the associate in turn when she greeted them.

The earrings winked at them, or at Mac, from the window display. Mac clenched her fist at her side, remembering how her dad held her hand at that Claire’s years ago. She couldn’t remember what had happened to the planet earrings, whether she had thrown them out, or lost them. She never had the chance to swap them out for the starter earrings she got.

“Oh, look!” Alexis exclaimed from the bracelet display. “They have a planet charm line for bracelets. See this gold one? It reminds me of your Shining Venus, Mac. Oh, it’s on sale, too. But I’m not sure if it’s really my style.”

“Tell you what,” Mac said, to avoid saying, those earrings remind me of your Ice Queen. “I’ll buy the earrings if you buy the bracelet.”

Alexis pondered it for a second, her eyes fixed with longing on the bracelet. “Hmm, that wouldn’t leave enough to get Atticus a gift, though.”

“You don’t have to get him anything,” Mac said. “Siblings steal stuff from each other all the time, right? Besides, knowing him, there are plenty of people throwing themselves at a chance to share an umbrella with him if he wanted to go out today.”

Alexis grinned, a grin that reminded Mac of her face when her opponent activated her set traps. “Alright, then. Deal.”

“I’m excited to see you wear your new earrings,” Alexis said, as Mac held up the earrings to her ear in one of the store mirrors.

Maybe they suited her after all.

“Alexis,” Mac said, when she was done.

“What is it?”

“Thank you.”

“Huh? What are you thanking me for?” Alexis asked, her brow crinkling in confusion.

For not leaving me with the silence today. “I needed new earrings today. Thanks for helping me out.”

Alexis laughed. “I’m happy to be of help. It was good to hang out with you, Mac.”

The shopkeeper rung them up, and they walked out the door together, retreating under the awning with their new trinkets. The rain had lightened up, a steady downpour rather than a deluge.

“Should we try to head back to the academy?” Alexis asked, wiggling her umbrella.

Mac agreed. They walked back under the same umbrella without really speaking, letting the rain wash around them like a curtain. The silence wasn’t so bad when she was next to Alexis, Mac decided.

And honestly what gets me too, and I thought about it while I was reading just now, is that what's so upsetting thinking about all of this at all is that Chazz is just a kid that keeps getting his power to choose taken from him.

Because when he's allowed to fully be himself and not under anyone's thumb and actually make his own choices, he does shit like that! Like giving Foster the card because he WANTS to because he sees that it's the right thing to do and nobody's around to stop him. When no one is dictating who he has to be and what he has to do, he's a DRASTICALLY different person than the boy he is when there's someone pulling his strings. He's kind, he's cringe, he's empathetic, he's a hopeless romantic, he's a friend, he's true and honest with himself and who he is and he's unapologetic with his authenticity even when not everyone in the group gets to see every side of him. He even owns the fact that he's canonically a fucking disgusting slob and that he's a flawed person and that that's okay when he wakes up from Sartorius's control because it's who he really is, not who he's been told to be.

And that's the thing too, he still has so much to learn about himself and how to interact with people, like learning how to accept no from Alexis 🤦‍♀️ and be the best version of himself because he just doesn't know how to navigate being free to make his own choices. He doesn't know how to be himself, especially around other people, but he does his best to exist in that space and navigate it and that's what eats me up about season 2 because he JUST got his sense of self back and his freedom back and his choices back from his brothers, who held those things hostage from him for so long, and just as he's trying to find his way Sartorius comes in and takes them away all over again and then some because this time it's the entirety of his free will that's gone. And it just eats me alive my heart aches for him all the time.

I was just thinking about how from my recollection, every time Chazz does anything bad/questionable at any point it's because he's under the influence of or being straight up controlled by someone else.

Like everything he does pre school duel he does because his brothers still have him in the palm of their hands and he has to put up this front and this hard shelled persona to cope with the pressure and it drives him to make some decisions that could be considered bad, like throwing Bastion's cards into the ocean for example. But even then, he never does anything particularly major, he's just a struggling kid desperate to earn his brothers' approval and respect and prove that he's worthy of the family name because they're constantly berating him and putting him down and telling him that he isn't if he doesn't do things their way and behave the way they want him to and do what they want him to and it's too much for him to carry. And his brothers are so much older than him and he's a 15 year old kid, so they hold a lot of weight over him, what they say and what they think of him matters to him.

But then there's season 2, where all the bad things he does that everyone is mad at him for even after he returns and holds against him, like turning Alexis and honestly the majority of the school, he only does because he's been brainwashed and is being controlled by Sartorius. He doesn't even remember anything between being defeated by Sartorius and waking up during the duel with Jaden, Sartorius saw a confused kid looking for a new purpose and took him to serve his the Light of Destruction's needs because he was a powerful duelist and a vulnerable, easy target.

And on a slightly sillier note, even stealing the Spirit Keys back at the end of season 1 which is kinda not a great thing to do ultimately was Atticus's idea personally I think Atticus knew the plan wasn't going to work and set Chazz up so knowing that Alexis would reject him so that he could move on from her and just didn't think through the part about the keys being technically won in a duel as a result and causing problems but shhhhhhh

I don't know, it just made me really upset thinking about it 🥺 he's a good kid dammit 🥺

he IS A GOOD KID!!! i always turn to the fact that he gives foster his 50th card. he has nothing to gain from giving the card away, it wouldn’t benefit him. the fact that he GETS the 50th is pure luck!! he did it because he wanted to!! he respected the way foster struggled for a deck like he did, it put him on equal terms with someone!!!!!

he’s so sweet under it all <:( the chazz at the start of s1 would never go up in those bleachers and chant “L TO THE E TO THE X TO THE I, LEXI RULES AND THATS NO LIE!!” but he DOES and you know why?!?!? because he FINALLY has a space to just be a TEENAGER and CRINGE and a BOY!!! he’s not supposed to be a paragon of a business corporation, he’s just a 15 y/o with a crush on a girl!!!!!!!!!

like. he still needs to learn to take no for an answer, but HE FINALLY GETS THAT CHANCE AND IT MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME. when i first moved in with my mom after spending so much time with my shitty dad’s side of the family, she had to constantly remind me i was a teenager and not some hardened adult — that i could ask to hang out with my friends on the weekend or that i could mess up and not have a panic attack because nobody was going to scream at me. and it just gets me emotional every time to look at chazz and think that above all, in spite of everything, he’s just a teenager…

So anyway, episode 30, am I right?

Hi there, so all your art is amazing but I especially am enamored with your Ring!Anzu/eye!shizuka au!

They also inspire some questions in me.

1 - Does Ring!Anzu recruit ladies like Mai, Isis or others too?

2 - Does she win or lose and regardless can you tell us what that looks like?

3 - I am curious, have you ever consider doing something similar for Asuka Tenjoin, or have n idea what that might look like?

Apologies if any of these questions seem out of sorts, and thanks for sharing your art!

Hello!!! Tysm, Im so happy you like the ring!anzu au!! It’s been way too long since i’ve drawn her tbh i gotta rectify that when i have a spare second ( ˊᵕˋ ; )

- in the au, my full suport of women’s wrongs come out and it’s my hc that at some point, all the ygo girls have an item that possesses them and amplifies their negative traits - anzu’s rlly the only one who has a full possession that traps her fully in her mind, her bond with the gang hinders the ring’s progress too much otherwise -

shizuka using the eye to torment yamima for what he did to jono, ishizu using the and necklace rod to bring people to her family’s mission willingly or not, mai using the key to read souls to better manipulate others, etc etc. could also see mai without an item helping the remaining yuugang band together to try to help/stop anzu/zorc/the ring spirit/tkb??/who knows how many souls are in that thing

- For the second question, i’m assuming you mean anzu?? If so all my art of her is under the ring!anzu au tag!! Other charas show up there as well, but mostly anzu. Overall, ring!anzu has darker, messier hair, more light grayish blue eyes (think tkb), and is paler than regular anzu. This can change with the primary possessor as well

- i havent watched gx and dont plan to in the near future! (tho i have heard many good things) so including asuka or any character from another series isnt in the cards rn. Plus, I feel like each series has it’s own mechanisms and lore that wouldnt really fit with the millennium items. Once atem passes, the items are destroyed and eventually in the au, that comes to pass regardless, perhaps with more strain and violence, but the girls regain themselves by the end.

I have drawn asuka and aki with anzu before tho a while back, LOVEE both of their designs. Thanks for your questions!!! :D always happy to blab ab this au

ROUND 1D, MATCH 4 OUT OF 8!

Monster Stats & Propaganda Under the Cut:

Cyber Angel Dakini is used by Asuka Tenjoin (Alexis Rhodes in the English dub). Its stats are the following:

Attribute: LIGHT

Level: 8

Type: FAIRY / RITUAL / EFFECT

Effect Type: SUMMONING CONDITION / TRIGGER / CONTINUOUS

Effect (according to the anime): “This card only be Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card, "Machine Angel Ritual". When this card is Special Summoned, your opponent selects and destroys 1 of their monsters. During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent.”

ATK / DEF: 2700 / 2400

Propaganda:

Alexis had a vague archetype at the start of the show and it was cool with the cyber skaters but I LOVED when she started using Cyber Angels

burn damage my beloved! her effect is super unique and pulling off an ftk with it (while really tricky and requiring A LOT of luck) is so satisfying. and her art is cool :)
