New chapter!! We’re getting some game plans going among the gang now, and some talk about the tome Anzu found in Ryou’s game room last chapter, too. But what’s up with Fuckboy Ryou not wanting to be “home” alone by himself?

And as always, I appreciate getting to chat with all of you about this fic!! :))

“Are we calling Bakura a ghost again, now?” Takano asks. He looks tired, which, well, Takahashi figures a therapist would be frequently emotionally tired. “I thought we agreed the last time he fell down the stairs that ghosts couldn’t fall down stairs.”

Tanaka wraps his lollipop back up in the wrapper and mutters something to himself. Then he says, “He’s doing the reappearing act again.”

“Oh, the reappearing act.”

Bakura Ryou’s neighbors think, once again, that he might in fact be a ghost. Only when they discover his roommate, Sato Bakura, do they realize that an exorcism isn’t truly necessary.

Or, an Outsider POV fic looking into Bakura Ryou and Yami Bakura’s post-canon life together, with a heavy dose of extra plot.

And I made up a new ship, Ryou & Ryota (Mako Tsunami!), because, why the hell not! I think they'd make a cute pair :3 (and I've always had a thing for fish guys. Blame me)

And thus. The fanart,

I gave myself the liberty of adding my personal touch to Ryota's design as well 🐟

As for the ship name, I came up with monsoonshipping / ryoryo 🌀
