@mywaywardcupcake thanks pal

Just letting you know that my mind is currently completely occupied on a genie au with Jou and Yugi because omfg its perfect.

Oh man, mine too!

My thoughts so far

Genie Jou

Wishmaker Yugi

Jou's doesn't like talking about his past masters (Wishmakers) because some of them have been cruel people. Serving them was sometimes traumatic. Both because if the way they'd treat Jou and the wishes Jou had to grant in some cases

One of Jou's former Masters is actually still alive. It's Hirutani

After Hirutani, Jou's lamp had been tossed in the trash. A few years later Yugi finds it in a landfill. It's damaged and in poor condition but Yugi knows with some care it'll look beautiful even if it'll never be perfect. He feels compelled to keep it

The rubbing motion he uses while cleaning it is what coaxes Jou out. Initially, he'd been asleep since there's only so much he can do all alone in there

He's also anxious and can't help but feel afraid when he first pops out, he expects another monster like Hirutani or past Masters. But he does a decent job of hiding this outwardly and he quickly becomes attached to Yugi.

But he's also aware that once Yugi uses all his wishes (and if he ever rejects Jou's friendship) his use will be gone. And even if Yugi doesn't throw him away someone could still take him. This makes him that much more attached to Yugi, clingy and anxious anytime Yugi makes new friends despite trying not to be.

He's of course happy for Yugi anytime he makes a friend. But it makes him fear the day he's no longer needed is that much closer

That's all I've thought up so far :3

If anyone reading this feels inspired you are free to take any of the ideas you like from this and use them as you wish. I'd love to see what you come up with 👀

[undeadbanjos]

I would love to hear about/read this dock duel au 👀

Oh boy.

Well. I'm sure this has been said in the past 20+ years

But i fully think that at the dock duel Yugi fully intended to sacrifice himself for Joey. It's why he gave him the puzzle.

Because if Joey wins. He can wield the puzzle. And Its why Yugi, sweet boy that he is says to Joey right before the final blow that he loves him

So we know that Joey uses his chain to swing across the dock and save Yugi without grabbing his own key. But my stupid brain goes

"What if Joey grabbed his own key first and didn't make it in time?"

What if they didn't manage to save Yugi?

What if Joey had to become the holder of the Millennium Puzzle and save the world with Atem?

No doubt they'd both be filled with rage and anger towards Marik, and.... he probably wouldn't be spared

It could probably go really dark and have them looking for a way to get him back.

It's definitely my angsty brain just coming up with shit.

@mywaywardcupcake​ replied:  I believe in like the sub it's spelled Jounouchi. But no I could have sworn it was Jounouchi not Jonouchi in the manga too. And I will now die on this hill because I've been doing it far too long.

That’s what I thought too--but at least this manga cap from the wikia has it as “Jonouchi” (sadly I don’t have my own manga on me ATM to check mine)

#60 with the ineffable husbands please!

Oh no, I have a really goodbad idea for this lol 

60: I said “I HAVE AN IDEA!”

--

Crowley had said that he had something to show Aziraphale, and that he needed pointers on it before he showed it to Hell tomorrow. Aziraphale had no idea what to expect, but finding Crowley setting up a projector that clearly looked like it was not his and was probably ‘borrowed’ from a local business had him more confused than ever. 

He blinked, realizing that Crowley had been talking to him. “I’m sorry?”

Crowley looked up from where he was trying to plug the projector into an outlet that may or may not have been there before, frowning beneath that ridiculous mustache he was sporting lately. “I said “I HAVE AN IDEA!” Geez, angel, you’ve got feathers in your ears or somethin’?”

“Sorry, dear, I was wondering on what it is that you wish to show me exactly.” Aziraphale replied as he sat down with his fresh mug of cocoa, curiously watching as a grin came to the demon, who scrambled to his feet and turned on the machine.

He started to go off on a speech to sounded like he had rehearsed a number of times and was very happy to finally present it to an audience that could give him actual feedback. (Aziraphale assumed that the previous audience during his practicing was his new obsession, house plants).

But when Crowley slapped down a clear, plastic sheet on the projector with what looked like London’s latest motorway plans, and then another one on top of it with a slightly different design, Aziraphale was quick to figure it out.

“You’re going to turn the M25 into a giant version of the dread sigil Odegra in the language of the dark Priesthood of Ancient Mu?” 

Crowley’s face lit up at this. “Can I get a wahoo?”

“Oh!” Aziraphale perked up. “Oh yes, how utterly evil! Wahoo, darling!”

The demon looked as giddy as Aziraphale felt when he got a very rare book off someone who clearly didn’t know how much it was actually worth. “Damn right it is!” 

--

I live for the idea that Aziraphale supports Crowley's ridiculous, low-grade evil plans because they aren’t too big of a hassle for him to deal with, like the coin thing.

Falling and jounouchi for the ask meme?

Gonna write up a little thing for one of my favorite scenes involving Jounouchi.

--

This was not one of Jounouchi’s more ingenious ideas, he thought as he continued to fall towards the waters below, but he wasn’t known for giving thought before diving into action.

His fall came to a stop when he hit the water, thanking his lucky stars he wasn’t knocked out or went into shock from the cold, or worse. He shot up, coughing hard as he looked around, trying to find the Exodia cards. He swore he could hear Yugi calling his name, but Jounouchi was too focused on finding those cards.

He grinned, grabbing at two that he spotted, the other three not too far from where he was floating, until there was a sudden wave. He gasped for air when he broke through the surface, oh, oh no! The cards! He had no idea where the three cards went!

Another wave came for him, and in a second before he was covered, Jounouchi swore he saw Yugi falling off the side of the ship.

He ceased up, the shock of the cold wave was too much, until someone grabbed him, pulling him back up. He found Yugi staring at him, eyes wide with relief, before their friends threw them a life preserver.

Jounouchi wasn’t happy that he hadn’t gotten the cards, he had only been able to save two, but Yugi was more happy that Jounouchi was alive and safe now, that he had even taken the risk of jumping into the ocean just for a chance to get those cards, it seemed to mean the world more to the smaller duelist than those cards.

The blond couldn’t help the smile on his lips, well, at least he was able to make Yugi happy in some way.

“May all your marshmallows burn.” You choose the ship!

I know this has been in my ask box since December. Sorry for the wait! I got… a little carried away. I sort of wanted to contribute to Pridecember even though I’d never written pride before, but I also wanted to add another ship Cupcake likes, and… my brain chose puff.  Which I’d also never written before. Lol.

So, please, enjoy this silly fic about Jounouchi inviting everyone to a campout after Atem returns in a secret bid to get to know him better and promptly getting mad that Atem and Kaiba are “ignoring” him. :v

Post-canon, returned Atem AU, established pride, unestablished puff, 1.8k words.

Excerpt:

“Thought you hated‘em,” said Jounouchi, leering at him.

Kaiba shrugged. “No,I just don’t find them very exciting.” Nonetheless, he extendedhis stick and allowed the marshmallow to ignite. Atem did the same,taking the opportunity to brush shoulders with Kaiba.

“That’s it?Just… ‘not very exciting’?” Jounouchi squinted at Kaiba. “Youfeeling okay?”

Another shrug. Thelittle glance at Atem told Jounouchi everything he needed to know,and the encouraging smile Atem returned? Damning.

Atem crouched by thebonfire. As it flickered, the firelight drew out the shifting,alchemical hue of his eyes, a color Jounouchi had never been able toput a name to. So like Yuugi’s. But the face was different now –familiar, in the abstract, a song he could recall only in fragments.As Jounouchi watched, Atem inched closer to the fire.

“Just, uh… becareful,” said Jounouchi, wringing his hands. He knew,realistically, that Atem understood the boundaries of his physicalform – even before he remembered himself, he’d piloted Yuugi’sbody, after all. But part of him still worried, especially now thatAtem was mortal again – as far as any of them could tell. Jounouchiwasn’t eager to test it.

“It’s alright,Jounouchi. I can handle myself around fire.” A smile played onAtem’s lips.

“Right.”Jounouchi flushed. Atem had probably been around a lot more firesthan Jounouchi ever had, now that he could remember them. “So, youwant to-” He paused as Atem moved back and settled beside Kaiba.Several quilts were spread around the makeshift campsite (which wasreally just a secluded corner of the Kaiba estate), but of courseKaiba had taken up residence on the one furthest from Jounouchi. Ofcourse Atem had to join him.

“To what?” Atemblinked up at him, still smiling. At least he looked eager enough.

“Maybe… roastsome marshmallows?” Jounouchi indicated the bag at his feet,alongside several clean sticks he had gathered earlier in the day.

Atem rubbed hishands together. “Sure! That’s definitely something I’ve neverdone before. I’ve never had a marshmallow at all.”

“They’re hardlyremarkable.” Kaiba scooted a little closer to Atem. “Just sugar.”

“You’re hardlyremarkable!” snapped Jounouchi, waving a stick in Kaiba’sdirection. “Don’t listen to him. Marshmallows are great,especially over a fire.”

“Can’t wait,”Atem said, letting his leg touch Kaiba’s. Kaiba said nothing at all– only glanced at Atem, who met his gaze and smiled. This touch wasnot accidental.

Jounouchi sighed andbegan spearing the fluffy confections. Even if he had invitedeveryone, in his heart, he had done this for Atem. He didn’t needto know him to love him. He already did, just as much as he lovedYuugi. Yet, their entire relationship passed in the shadow of oneworld-rending crisis after another. They would always have DuelMonsters, but what else was there? When had there been time foranything else?

It was just… beingalone with him was a little intimidating. What if they reallydidn’t have anything to talk about but Duel Monsters? What if…

He just had to workaround it, that was all. Ease in. Get everyone together. Theimportant thing was that Atem was here again. If it lasted forever –great. But they didn’t know that, and Jounouchi wasn’t going totake any chances this time around. The problem was Kaiba.

(Wasn’t italways?)

He didn’t protestKaiba’s presence here, in theory. Aside from the fact that he letthem use his yard for their faux camping trip, Kaiba could use anyreprieve you lured him into. Jounouchi suspected that, if not forAtem, he wouldn’t be caught dead here.

It wasn’t likeJounouchi begrudged them their happiness, either. Atem was happy– Jounouchi couldn’t deny it. It was even kind of nice to seeKaiba smiling to himself when he thought you weren’t looking. Hecould pretend he didn’t have feelings all he liked, but it wasobvious to anyone who spent five minutes with him that he was one ofthe most emotional people on the planet. They just weren’t usuallypleasant emotions. It was a change of pace, anyway.

But did they have toalways do this? Right in front of him? Leaving him completely out ofthe loop? To make matters worse, it would be a while before anyoneelse arrived. He was the one who organized this, so he came early.Kaiba lived here. And Atem… probably had been here already.

When he handed themtheir sticks, something else troubled him: Kaiba didn’t complain.He didn’t snipe. He just… accepted his.

“Thought you hated‘em,” said Jounouchi, leering at him.

Kaiba shrugged. “No,I just don’t find them very exciting.” Nonetheless, he extendedhis stick and allowed the marshmallow to ignite. Atem did the same,taking the opportunity to brush shoulders with Kaiba.

“That’s it?Just… ‘not very exciting’?” Jounouchi squinted at Kaiba. “Youfeeling okay?”

Another shrug. Thelittle glance at Atem told Jounouchi everything he needed to know,and the encouraging smile Atem returned? Damning.

“Well,” saidJounouchi, “how nice to see the great Kaiba lowering his standardsenough to eat marshmallows with a peasant like me.”

“It’s… not sobad.”

Jounouchi paled. Notonly was Atem flaking out on him, now Kaiba was, too. Not thatJounouchi really wanted to get into it with Kaiba tonight, but theyhad – a certain relationship. It was just how they were. Somethinghe could depend on.

Apparently, though,Kaiba had more important things to concentrate on right now. Likesneaking his gloved hand over Atem’s beneath their coat sleeves. Ifthey thought they were being subtle, Jounouchi would hate to seeobvious. “May all your marshmallows burn,” he whispered.

“What?” askedAtem, head swiveling in Jounouchi’s direction.

“Oh, nothing…nothing at all.” He tried to grin, though it was more of a grimace.There was nothing like witnessing a flirt fest to remind you that youdidn’t have a date for Christmas Eve. Or Valentine’s Day. Or theforeseeable future. Not a single romantic prospect to speak of.

Well. Maybe one. Butthat was – no. Just a little gaming here and there, and even thathad probably only happened because Shizuka had to drop out of thecampaign for a while. If he’d made a habit of staying aftereveryone else left, laughing into the night, enjoying the company ofthe dungeon master… that wasn’t so abnormal, was it?

A rustle drewJounouchi’s attention. Atem sat up now, drawing his hand away fromKaiba, and started forward. “Oh!” With satisfaction, Jounouchinoted that both of their marshmallows had burned… as had hisown.

“Oh, come on…”Jounouchi yanked it out of the fire and blew furiously, feelinganother pang of satisfaction as Atem observed him and did the same,and his heart softened as Atem stared at his charred marshmallow witha furrowed brow. “Aww, don’t worry about it,” he said. “Somepeople even like ‘em burnt. You have to try it at least once,right?”

That did the trick.Atem brightened, and, before Jounouchi could stop him, popped theentire marshmallow into his mouth. His eyes widened, and his handsshot up, hovering in front of his face. “Hot-!”

“You gotta let itcool more than that!” He started to say something else, but Kaibaclutched Atem’s arm in concern, and nobody was looking at Jounouchianymore. Again.

“I’m fine,”said Atem, murmuring thickly around molten sweetness, though therewere tears in his eyes. He swallowed hard and stuck out his tongue,sighing as the cool air washed over it.

“Do you needanything?” asked Kaiba, grabbing Atem’s hand. “A drink?”

If Jounouchi had towatch another minuteof this…

“Hello, everyone!”

There he was. Anangel, here to rescue Jounouchi from this unfolding disaster – tosave him from his loneliness. And also from himself.

“I’m not late,am I?” asked Bakura. His eyes swept over the deserted campsite, andthen – over Atem and Kaiba, hands still entwined. “Ah.” Heflopped down directly beside Jounouchi, who could almost cry. Atleast someone was nice enough to sit with him. Very close, infact. As close as Atem was to Kaiba.

“Not at all,”said Jounouchi, peering down at him. It wasn’t the first time he’ddone this, of late – sitting a little closer to Jounouchi thancircumstance strictly necessitated. Until now, Jounouchi had chosento interpret this innocently: Bakura simply failed to register hisintrusion on Jounouchi’s personal bubble. He was, after all, soeasily distracted. Now, though… with their shoulders nearlytouching… Jounouchi swallowed. “You cold?”

But that wasn’treally the question Jounouchi was asking. Of course he was cold. Itwas cold. He wondered if someone as… self-absorbed as Bakurawould even pick up on it, but the look in his eyes when he noddedbanished all doubts. Steeling himself, Jounouchi draped an arm overBakura’s shoulder, and when Bakura relaxed against him, he relaxed,too. “No one’s really here,” he continued Casting a sharpglance at the others, he added, “We’re hardly even talking.”

“Sorry, I- got alittle distracted,” said Atem, scooching away from Kaiba. “Let’s-”

“No, no, don’ttrouble yourself about me now,” said Jounouchi, frowning.

Atem and Kaibastared at each other, blinking. “Are you… not having a good time,Jounouchi?” Atem asked, genuinely confused. “I just thought-since you and Kaiba don’t get along so well, we were trying to-”

How could Atem be sodense? Jounouchi’s free hand balled into a fist. “Me and Kaibaget along just fine when he’s not ignoring me!”

“Ignoring you?”Kaiba was just as bewildered now. “I thought I was…” Hewrinkled his nose. “’Behaving myself.’” Obviously not hisphrasing. Jounouchi had one guess for whose it was.

“It doesn’treally matter now. You can keep ignoring me. Whatever.” He squeezedBakura’s shoulder. “I have Bakura now.”

Bakura laughed andgave Jounouchi’s arm a mock slap. “Be nice. They’re justenjoying each other’s company.” Atem couldn’t help but smile.Kaiba set his jaw, but he didn’t deny it.

“I guess,”Jounouchi said, narrowing his eyes at them. He couldn’t keep thesulk out of his voice. “It’s just-”

“Shh.” Bakurasnagged a marshmallow out of the bag and shoved it into Jounouchi’smouth.

“Mmph!” Herelaxed and swallowed the marshmallow, flushing deeper as Bakura’sfingers brushed his lips on their way back to the bag. Satisfied,Bakura offered him another, gentler this time. He took it, wide-eyed.

“There,” saidBakura. “That’s better.” Leaning close, he whispered, “Thisweek was awful, and I didn’t sleep at all last night. If you wantto show them up, take advantage of my temporary lack of shame anddesire for companionship.”

“Um,” saidJounouchi, swallowing his marshmallow.

“Even if it’sjust to spite them, you know, I really don’t-”

“No!” saidJounouchi, managing to startle all three of the others, tearingKaiba and Atem from their own whispered conversation. Now thateveryone was looking at him, Jounouchi wasn’t so sure hewanted it anymore. “What’re you waiting for?” he said, wavingdismissively at Atem and Kaiba. “He’s right. Enjoy each other.”

They gave up andscooched back together. Atem’s hand found its way to Kaiba’s– perhaps emboldened by the current state of Jounouchi and Bakura. It wasn’t the end of the world. Jounouchi would have other chances

Bakura, on the otherhand, peered at Jounouchi, head tilted. “No?”

Jounouchi sighed,whispering back. “I mean, it’s not- it’s more than-” Heexhaled, gratefully accepting the marshmallow Bakura extended, givinghim a moment to think. “Are… you doing anything on Christmas?”
