Soooo since Jon is “Nick” are we going to get an equivalent of that undie photo shoot? You know the one I’m talking about. Asking for a friend 😏 (and to see the fans reactions. And to see Jon’s reaction to the fan’s reactions. And to see Dany’s reaction. I really need this ok?)

Mmmmmmm an excellent question. Honestly I’m not sure but don’t worry there will be plenty of Dany and Jon reacting to the fans’ reactions on thirst-trappy things 😉

I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT. Oh poor Atem my heart was already bleeding for the little bugger. I'm an absolute sap for self-doubting, self-bashing Atem for some reason. And THIS IS ME TOTALLY ASKING FOR MORE. How do Yugi and Atem become lovers? I bet Atem does some more self-angst stuff when he wakes up right? And how do they meet Jou and Ryou? What do they do make a living? What's their cover? So can Atem transform into multiple things or just Zorc-esque? Wahhhh so many questions.

Thank you for your patience!! I don’t always have the energy to answer messages right away so sorry this is late >w<;;

A bit more chatlog copypaste and other stuff:

Atem and Yugi’s romance takes some time to fully bloom. They’ve had a mutual attraction for a long time, but many things (atem’s bad self-esteem and yugi’s hesitance) get in the way of it, and the stress of having to be on the lam doesn’t give much room for that to grow

a mutual deep respect and endless loyalty to each other, yes, but romance not so much. Plus Atem learning he’s a walking magic bomb and Yugi having to work double time in keeping the both of them cloaked while Atem’s untrained magical signature is a giant ass beacon of HEY COME GET ME doesn’t help atem’s self-image. 

They end up fleeing the country, moving to a more sparce and less magic-focused country that’s more of a neutral ground than anything, so it’s a bit safer for them to hide out in. They spend a lot of time, some months at least constantly on the move till they find a nondescript town deep in the middle of the neutral country and settle down in an abandoned shack in the surrounding forest. (they clean it up surprisingly well)

atem feels utterly disgraced and distraught that this happened and that yugi's putting himself in danger for him, and many times tries to convince yugi to go back and plead insanity or something. yugi refuses, saying he'll never leave atem alone again when he needs him so badly.

so atem does his best to learn quickly from yugi, but on-the-run teaching isn’t the most thorough way, though Atem does learn best being shown and when under duress/challenge. Its difficult because yugi's not experienced with teaching and atem's magic works differently than his. students usually get teachers that are more experienced with their specific type of magic for ease of teaching.

atem is a fast learner though, and stubborn as fuck, and learns well enough to be able to control his magic enough it's not a danger.  though it has different skills and uses than yugi's does. it gets to the point that it's dangerous for either of them to be seen as they are, and while yugi gets skilled at disguise magic, it's not in atem's skillset and disguising for two is very draining.

So, in a fit of crazyness (as yugi called it) and late night reading, atem gets a brilliant(?) idea. he tells yugi to make him his familiar

familiars are usually made between a non-human magical entity and a humanoid, and demons fall under that non-human entity category

and atem is a demon conduit. he thinks its brilliant! familiar owners can change their familiars form at will, familiars can hide in their owner's shadows, and the owners can forcefully command the familiar in dire situations. if atem ever loses it again (something he’s terrified of doing though while he has had some close calls he hasn’t had any relapses in his training) yugi can just tell him to stop! yugi thinks he's mad - familiar contracts are not only very binding, they've never been recorded happening between two humanoids, let alone a conduit, and demon familiar contracts are tricky and can backfire.

atem insists, he'd never set any contract lines that would hurt yugi, he's loyal as fuck, and he admits that if capable he'd willingly spend the rest of his life serving yugi. not exactly a declaration of love, but yugi understands what more or less what he means

yugi's overwhelmed, tells atem he needs to think on it. atem thinks he's fucked up in more ways than one, and they have a day or two of awkwardness but yugi eventually concedes, saying that while it is very clever, it is also very dangerous. but he wants atem to be safe, and he too wants to spend his life with atem - he just didn't see it ever happening like this. something atem gets depressed over momentarily before yugi snaps him out of it and says he will never regret making his decision to save atem

they make the contract, magical circle and all, and while the magic goes a bit dodgy for a bit, it ends up working out - but with the unrealized side effect of the two of them being able to speak/see each others thoughts via soul link

atem as an awakened demon conduit had always been hyper attuned to human's emotions and feelings, being able to smell and feel them himself, but this was a whole new step. and yugi not being alone in his head was very jarring

it puts a lot of stress on them, along with learning how the contract works - if yugi asks atem to do something, if he doesn't word it carefully it comes out as a command Atem is compelled to do forcefully

like 'atem, shut up' becomes literal even if it was meant jokingly.

he learns to use nicknames more often, but atem does enjoy the nickname yugi gave him as a kid so he doesn't mind, and he knows the command could be useful in a pinch (or bad for him if yugi is in danger and forces atem to leave, but he makes yugi swear he'd never do something like that - atem knows he's probably fibbing but its the best he can do)

another thing is atem learning to live in yugi's shadow if need be, but he hardly uses it, yugi usually transforms atem into a dark dark red cat with some gold stripes, so atem can sit on his shoulder as he goes out and about so yugi only has to disguise himself, and its easier to hide one person in a crowd instead of two

also in times like that the mental link comes in very handy, but it still takes time for them to learn how to block each other off from the others minds for privacy or other stuff. they eventually get comfortable enough being pretty open with their thoughts, but that takes a while.

-----

I’ve thought a bit on it and it’s a bit hard to decide, but I think what’ll happen is that while Anzu will be someone Yugi used to be friends with back at their old village and left behind sadly, Jou and Ryou will be two villagers living in the new town. they end up becoming friends, but friends with ‘not-Yugi’ or the disguise Yugi puts up when he goes to town. They know there’d be less of a chance of them being recognized in a different country, specially just Yugi on his own, but they don’t wanna risk it. 

I think eventually yugi and atem will reveal themselves when jou and ryou prove loyal friends, but it’d be some time before they do that. For the longest time, jou and ryou just think yugi’s this eccentric magic collector who talks far too much to his cat.

Yugi and atem will make some living doing small magic practices, ending up being mostly an apothecary than anything else because it’s simple and unobtrusive and living in the forest gives them lots of supplies. also people in this neutral country trust natural remedies a bit more than straight up magic, though yugi uses it while making any potions or poultices to make them more effective. Atem with his great memory and quick thinking ends up being a walking library, (not literally) devouring any book he comes across and collecting an even larger mental catalog than Yugi does. he swears his reading is just a past-time but yugi knows better. 

they do sometimes like small bounties or clearing out any dangerous magical critters from the surrounding area but they do it quietly and under disguise to keep things safe. 

One of Atem’s new skills turns out to be shape-shifting of some amount (separate from the shape-shifting that comes with his familiar status under Yugi)

Mainly he has to retain some sort of bipedal form, but he can add and retract wings, a tail, horns, scales and claws and other such details. He avoids anything hulking and monstrous like what Zorc forced him into in his awakening, choosing to always keep his human face and general form. His shapeshifting prerequisites are horns, claws, and some form of tail no matter how hard he tries to keep the tail from growing. That’s when his nub tail makes its most usual appearance, the shortest he can get away with (yugi loves it)

He can do some digitgrade-ness, or specific amplification like giant yaoi hand claws and stuff for offence if need be. he can’t like breathe fire or anything easily cause it requires more amplification to his body than he likes (his face/throat/chest) but if need be he’ll use it. The wings he’s never super fond of because he doesnt quite like the feel of multiple limbs he has to keep track of and coordinate, but Yugi convinces him to at least learn how to use them in case they ever need to use them. He’s glad that he can go without them. 

In any of his altered forms his speed and strength is greatly intensified, as are his senses. the more he allows himself to shift away from human the more intense his demonic urges are (aggression, hunger for magical power, general nasty emotions and urges) so he sticks to as human as possible at all times. When he’s loafing around at home with Yugi he’s rarely in any altered form unless he’s feeling in a particularly good mood (self-confident) and he allows himself to be more open. 

Also: Atem has a heck of a time trying to control his vices. His main one is gambling, though he manages to get his minor drinking problem under control with yugi’s help. Gambling is something that he just can’t seem to get rid of, but Yugi helps by setting safer stakes and bets for him to get his high off of, plus Yugi himself enjoys a good game and is a good opponent for Atem always.

So, I think this is the most of what I have so far for this au. I’d love to write it up one day, but it’ll have to wait ;v;

thank u for ur love!! feel free to ask me more stuff if you’re still curious, gives me more excuses to do worldbuilding. o/

[celepom]

I feel like at this point, although Timaeus loves Yugi's reactions to his smexiness as well, Timeaus is just going to up the ante in his...exhibitions and poke and prod Atem/Yami until he angry-makes-out with him XD

Ooooooh just you wait~~~~ I have plansssss

skyisthelimit112 replied to your post “I just imagen after Yugi writes his self-indulgent DOMA fanfic Pegasus...”

Wait does this mean Pegasus either a) knows yuugi's fanfic persona, b) reads Millennium World fanfic, or c) both?

Both.

I mentioned before in my little Q&A as Yugi and Atemu that Yugi is on good terms with Pegasus through Kaiba. And Pegasus loves Yugi’s books, he finds them fascinating and a delight to read, especially with the ancient Egyptian magic theme, and of course, the totally-obvious duel monsters (cause Yugi began making the series when he was 14, during his big interest in the game, except he tried to edit all the actual game monsters when the series started to get published five years later. Yugi’s monsters that he created himself are Gandora, Diabond, and the Egyptian gods. If the monster has an actual name, Yugi made the monster up.)

And Pegasus found Yugi’s fanfics by total accident (why he was on ao3, I dunno, sometimes you just get bored at the office) and figured out quickly that this was Yugi’s work. Also, seriously, the name is pretty easy to figure out and after a bit of reading, you can tell this is Yugi writing a self-indulgent fic.

marriage of convenience is already making my heart twist

i am pretty fond of that one, if all the art that got dropped on it isn’t a given ehehe

but yeeeeeeea, yuugi and atem were still pretty deeply in love with each other after the royal wedding, and yami was Not Happy about it

it’s cool tho, he started coming around to their side

@skyisthelimit112 replied to your post “For the question-meme: pffffff puzzleshipping (what a surprise! xD)...”

Also if you have fluffy, happy, cute puzzleshipping fic recs please share because I can never get enough of them. I could probably make domestic puzzleshipping my religion

aahhhh, thank you so much for liking my answers, lovely!! <333 And oh boy, do I! Hehe, these are not ALL the fluffy, happy, cute puzzleshipping fics out there, obviously, but there are some of the ones I’ve loved the most since I started searching for puzzleshipping fics again! (I also haven’t done it in a while, so I’m guessing there must be a TON more out there already!)

These are some of my favorite fics regarding the Puzzle nerds!! (putting it under a read more ‘cause it got REALLY long, haha! the ones that have a title are on AO3, and the ones that don’t are here on Tumblr! if I messed up any of the links, please let me know!!)

No Dark Side Without Light, set during the final duel in DSOD! This is one of my favorite ones, it’s beautifully written and it’s got a lot of sentences that just make me literally clutch my chest.

That Would Be Enough, also set during the final duel in DSOD!

lessons, which is set during pretty much the entirety of the Duel Monsters manga/anime, it just gives me all of the feels.

Cerberus, which has a lot of my favorite puzzleshipping tropes, including nerdy, dorky, absolutely smitten-over-Yugi Atem. Honestly, this is everything I need in life. (the continuation, Hannibal Necromancer, is also worth checking out!)

our kingdom come, which, as the summary says, is “late night conversations and romantic gestures.” Ridiculously sappy, which is everything I want when it comes to these two.

Autumn Shadows, set during the season 0 portion of the series, I think, but it’s an adorable interaction and I won’t say anything else so that I don’t spoil it too much!

this cute little drabble in which Atem is the best boyfriend in the world.

this kinda sexy drabble that gives me all the feels because EVEN in a sexual scenario, they’re cute and fluffy AF.

this ficlet revolving around the warehouse fire because it’s not like we all need any more heartbreak over that particular scene. as such, it DOES get a little angsty, but not too much!

this incredible ficlet in which the puzzle nerds are already smitten/in love with each other BUT it IS kind of angsty... I’d still recommend reading it, though, it’s really good and I really like it!

Textile Advantage, which is just absolutely, ridiculously fluffy, like, it’ll probably give you cavities.

He Has a Heartbeat, which is fluffy and sexy and just absolutely wonderful! also, it’s post-series and honestly, we all need more fix-it content in the world.

and, a bit of shameless self-promotion, two tiny ficlets written by yours truly: Sensations, and Late-Night Snowflakes and Early, Warm Tea.

And if you’re interested in more fics, here’s another fic-rec list put together by @ygospamproduction! I haven’t read all of those, but I still thought I’d share so that you can check them out for yourself! :D

Hi! This is kind of inspired by your latest comic/ficlet of Isis meeting bbYami, but could we see more of bbYami and Kaiba interacting? I know we've already gotten some season 0 revisions, and we've seen Kaiba spoiling him rotten (though it kind of seems like Yami gets spoiled by everyone) - could we see first time Kaiba and bbYami like bonded? Or him trying to pronounce Kaiba's name? (What does he call Kaiba anyway?) (Sorry these asks tend to ramble)

It’s more of Yami and Mokuba are friends and Kaiba often meets the baby as a result. In general, Kaiba’s always had a soft spot for children (even during his season zero jerk phase), and anyone who is genuinely with Mokuba for his company (and not for money and power) is an okay child for him. 

His eventual gift giving is more of a way to assuage his guilt over the Death-T incident, as it affected Yami to the point that the baby forever became hesitant with being playful around him.

The first time Kaiba met Yami was when Mokuba kidnapped brought Yami to their house to play train Yami to be his lackey.

“Mokuba, you don’t kidnap people! Especially babies!” 

“Why not?” Mokuba asked, genuinely confused. “You do it all the time.” 

“I kidnap people who have the ability to walk back home and talk!” he sputtered, not to mention those people tended to be from rival companies or KC employees who’ve given away trade secrets. He regretted teaching his brother the grittier side of business if he was going to make it a habit to kidnap children younger than him. “And who are potty-trained!”

“Ey!” Yami shouted.

“He feels insulted,” Mokuba translated.

“He can’t say my name right and is wearing a diaper, his arguments are invalid.”

  DSOD Thoughts and Feelings

The entire movie could have been crap and I still would have watched it for Atem’s muscles. But it was beautiful and awesome on TOP of Atem’s muscles. Damn those muscles… Okay I need to stop

I mean I’m not saying I had to rewatch every scene with Atem more than once until I could actually take my eyes away from his chest and arms and like pay attention to what the heck was actually happening in the scene but.... that’s exactly what I’m saying tbh. XD
