Polyamory where Kaiba’s aroace in a QPR fighting Yami (cards) and Jou (fisticuffs) and then flopping on their couch afterwards to watch Mama Mia (yes all of them are belting out the lyrics), Jou is romantically involved with Yugi and Yami, and Yugi and Yami are ????? Literally whatever the fuck they’re up to in canon.

Brought to you by more chats with @ospreyonthemoon

my nickname hcs for the extended yugioh polycule

kaiba - almost never uses nice nicknames. he has plenty of mean ones but luckily jou is into that. he gets super flustered when they're used on him though, it's almost embarrassingly easy to rile him up into a blushing catastrophe in public at which point he automatically switches into tsundere mode and tries to duel them to recover his dignity; in private he's more relaxed and its more along the lines of fond exasperation

atem - "aibou" is exclusive to yugi but atem loves calling all his partners every sappy and besotted name he can think of; "my light", "my ib", "habibi", etc etc forever. almost never refers to any of them by name unless its so other people know who he's talking about. along with the above he exclusively refers to kaiba as "kaiba" because he associates "seto" with the priest from ancient egypt. tkb is exclusively "thief", even once they start to get along ("thief (loathing)" versus "thief (affectionate)"

yugi - in public its "kaiba" "jounouchi" and "other me" (out of force of habit in atems case) bc he's very shy about keeping his personal life separate from other people. in private he'll use "seto" "katsuya" "tem" and drop endless compliments left and right, and he takes immense joy in seeing how flustered he can get them just with things like "darling" "my love" etc. his favorite game is occasionally in public he'll surprise them by whispering in their ears in front of people when they cant retaliate (its super effective on kaiba and tkb! not very effective on atem. neutral damage to jou and ryou)

jounouchi - "yuug" is his big one. he still calls atem "pharaoh" out of habit but he's slowly breaking out of it to pivot to just "atem". his nicknames are also on the sillier side and less romantic (type of guy to call his boyfriends "bro"). eventually he eases into "seto" once they get past their many issues.

tkb/yamiba - he's got nicknames for everything and everyone, whether he likes you or not. most of the difference is in his tonal variation. his favorites for atem are variations of "horus" and "morning and evening star." ryou is his beloved "landlord" of course; yugi gets "vessel" until they actually get to know each other. the only time he'll ever use someone's actual name instead of a nickname is if he respects them.

ryou - he's incredibly awkward, and in public will pretty much stick to family names only unless he's been given explicit permission to use someones first name, and even then it takes him a while to warm up to it. bakura is "spirit" "leech" or "parasite" depending on how charitable he's feeling. in private he tends to lean towards more oldfashioned nicknames like "dear" and "sweetheart"

Kaiba: What do you want me to do?

Yugi: Just smile.

Kaiba: *smiles*

Jou: Oh no, that's terrifying.

I have to admit that I retraced after an iconic Manga page from the Battle City arc, but I also did everything in my power to make it my own style. Besides Yugi/Yami, Seto Kaiba and Joey Wheeler/Katsuya Jonouchi are the main characters of the Yu-Gi-Oh manga. It is those three whom we follow in their struggles and their victories.
