This is genuinely my magnum opus I’m so proud of this

Made a quick edit off the latest Zexal merch announcement for Falchionshipping (formerly Aztecshipping, see this poll)!

Saw a 'fic self rec' meme going around and I figured I can do that without getting sent the meme myself so here we go, in no particular order-

-When a Wolf Forms a Pack With an Underdog: A Falchionship (Yuma/III) Hunger Games AU fic in which Michael is a reluctant District 1 tribute who had his reaping rigged to make him follow in his older brothers' victorious footsteps, while Yuma is a District 12 tribute who was never expected to survive the Games. Features a very protective Michael, angst, and tragic past!Hellshark. Currently in progress.

-I'm Not Saying It Was Aliens (But It Was Aliens): Also known as Keyswap AU. A roleswap AU where Michael gets the Emperor's Key instead of Yuma; he ends up meeting Astral while still in the orphanage and is tasked with helping him find the Number cards to restore his memory. Eventual planned Falchionship, planned familial angst (but what else is new with the Arclights?). Currently in progress.

-stab your heart (so that an amaryllis may grow): A Falchionship Hanahaki AU in which Michael gets hanahaki disease, but fails to realize the target of his love is Yuma until it's almost too late. One shot, complete, has a short sequel here.

-Chronomaly Soul: A Gladiatorship reincarnation AU in which Michael turns out to be a reincarnated version of the emperor from Alit's backstory. Very sweet, there's a lot of potential in Michael/Alit in my opinion. One shot, complete.

-Loyal Like a Dog (Loyal to the End): A 5D's/Zexal crossover with Zexal characters in the plot of 5D's. Thomas is one of the chosen Signers (and is deeply annoyed about it since he has to work with the Kamishiros), while Michael gets lured into willingly becoming a Dark Signer by his father. The two brothers end up having to fight each other. Loyal Like a Dog is a complete oneshot, but it is also part of a longer series of fics here.
