This Christmas had indeed come in the grace of frosted sleeves on branches, and icicle earrings adorning nearly every building. And all the city appeared to rejoice in it.
That may have been why, this year, Caswell and Flip decided to finally go ice skating.

Here is my (apologetically belated) contribution to the Secret Santa exchange!
This was something very out of my zone of writing both in characters and vibes so I really hope it turned out alright! Happy 2022 to everyone <3
Also to celabrate the LAST DAY OF ZEXAL I am re-uploading all the gifts I sent out for Zexalloween and Zexalmas.
Number: C107 Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon unleashed its mighty attack directly at Kaito. Its full impact did more then drop his life-points to his zero as his body was thrown through the air burning from the monster's intense heat. As Kaito landed on the hard pavement his arm twisted out of its socket and his vision stared to fade to black. Despite all of his skill, Mizael had utterly defeated him. Between Mizael's Barian power and the side-effects of his Photon Mode, he knew his life would be ending very soon.
What came next though was unexpected. His body was lifted and cradled. He was going blind but he knew those soft hands, hands he had fought to protect for so long. It couldn't be but a voice confirmed his suspicion, “I am sorry brother.”
Haruto was there! To be with him in his dying moments. Haruto contined in a crying but strong voice, “I came as fast as I could brother! You have been fighting for so long, you have done so well. But it is time for me to grow up and protect you for a change. I promise, I will absolutely avenge you!”
Kaito's body was slowly put down as he heard Haruto's duel disk activate. Haruto screamed in full bravado, “Mizael, lets duel!”
For Hartchocolate
Durbe: Full house.
Alit: Grraaah you win again Durbe! How do you keep doing that?
Vector: You suck Durbe! You are a big stupid jerk!
Mizael: Relax, lets just deal the next hand.
*Deals out hand*
Durbe: Ok everybody lets go around.
Gilag: I got nothing again. I fold.
Mizael: What is this! I hate this game. Tell me again why we are not dueling?
Durbe: Because we can't duel every night we are bored. Tonight is poker night so no dueling tonight, only poker.
Mizael: Yeah I fold. This game has no skill. It makes me look bad.
Alit: Well not me! I raise! I have the best hand ever!
Durbe: Ehh Alit your bluffing skills are terrible.
Alit: What no! I seriously have a great hand! Lets do this, I will show you my awesome poker cross-counter right hook!
Vector: It doesn't matter fools because this time I win! I have full confidence that my hand will utterly destroy all of you simpletons.
Mizael: Vector it is a terrible game, stop being so dramtic.
Durbe: It is fine. I shall take you both on. Lets see what you all got.
Alit *Reveals hand* Oh yeah take that baby!
Gilag: Ummmm I don't see any good cards.
Mizael: That is because he really does have absolutely nothing.
Alit: Wait what! But I thought if you have these 4 cards in the same hand you get tons of points.
Durbe: No not at all. Those cards have nothing to do with each other.
Alit No fair! This really isn't my game after all.
Vector: I told you fools that I will be the victor! Read em and wheep fools! I construct the overlay network with this pair of 4's!
Durbe: Two 4's. That is all you have.
Vector: Yes indeed! These 4's shall summon forth a Rank 4 monster of true terror to devour your soul!
Durbe: Meanwhile I have a royal flush. I am just too noble for you to defeat.
Vector: *Flips the table* I WILL KILL YOU!
Durbe: Aww that was a perfectly good table.
Alit: Yeah what gives punk, you ruined our game, even if it was a terrible game.
Mizael: Honestly at this point I don't care anymore.
Durbe: *Glares at Vector*
Vector: Lets do this! Me and you battling like true Barian warriors!
Durbe: Fine. I know I said no dueling tonight but I will break my own rule to put you in your place. I go first. I normal summon Star Seraph Scout to special summon Star Seraph Sage from my hand. Then I activate the effect of Star Seraph Sage to discard Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force in order to special summon Star Seraph Sword from my hand. I construct the overlay network to Xyz summon Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry. With that I end my turn.
Vector: I normal summon Umbral Horror Ghoul and then reduce its ATK to 0 in order to special summon Umbral Horror Unform. I construct the overlay network to Xyz summon Number 66: Master Key Beetle. But this is where the real fun starts! I activate Raigeki.
Durbe: What?
Vector: Raigeki. It destroys all of your monsters.
Durbe: I know what it does and I know that it is banned! We are playing Advance Format. You can't use it.
Vector: No fair!
Durbe: Those are the rules.
Mizael: This is getting really ugly.
Vector: Fine I won't play it! I have a better card. Instead I activate Change of Heart.
Durbe: Really! Are you a total complete idiot?
Alit: Yes.
Vector: Hey don't call me an idiot you umm..... idiot.
Gilag: This is going to be another long night.

Suddenly Number: 96 Dark Mist appeared in front of the Number Club. Its mouth quickly opened wide and swallowed Takahashi whole before he could ever let loose a scream of terror. Tetsuo shouted “Run quickly!”
Yuma screamed back “But what about Takahashi?”
“It is too late.” explained a depressed Kotori.
As they ran through the school hallway they came to a three-way intersection when Tokunosuke yelled “Everybody run left!”
As they did Tokunosuke in the back of the group ran right and exclaimed “Ha if I go this way then that monster will chase everybody else and I will be safe.” Black Mist appeared in front of him and wrapped its tentacles around him, “or not!”
The rest of the Number's Club made it outside when they heard Tokunosuke's death scream from inside the school. Tetsuo quickly said “Yuma lets get to your house and we can set up a proper defense.”
Everyone nodded and agreed. They took off running at top speed for Yuma's house but all the while Dark Mist continued to chase them and it was gaining on them. Tetsuo was getting short on breathe and falling behind. He yelled out “Everyone keep moving no matter what. Don't look back.”
Dark Mist was right behind already. He picked up a heavy stone and chucked it at the monster. The fearsome beast flinched at the impact but then seemed to almost laugh at him. Its tentacles lashed out and entangled Tetsuo before slowing lowering him into its mouth.
Yuma, Kotori, and Cathy were the only ones left. They were about halfway to Yuma's house when Dark Mist jumped in front of them. Its horrible face seemed searing with hunger. Cathy said bravely “I won't let you hurt Yuma and if I die here then I am doing something before I die.”
Cathy forcefully grabbed Yuma and started kissing him aggressively! Her face was deeply locked with his. Yuma was shocked in daze but Cathy finally broke it and charged at Dark Mist, “Cattobingu!”
She slashed the monster and seemed to even hurt it for a second. Kotori pulled Yuma's hand, “Come one we need to go.”
Yuma replied “But we can't...”
“We can't let her sacrifice be for nothing!” asserted Kotori.
They ran as Cathy continued to battle the evil monstrosity but she was only able to stall it for a short time before she too was devoured.
Yuma could see his house. Almost home safe. Suddenly the beast was upon them! Its tentacles wrapped around him and Kotori. This would be the end.
But then a figure was in the sky. It was Kaito flying through the air, descending onto the beast. He stabbed it with a Photon Spear! It yelled a loud roar of agony! Kaito said calmly “Light always beats darkness. Yuma, get inside. I got this.”
As Yuma and Kotori took shelter, Kaito raised his Photon Spear again for a killing blow but then the horrible monster gave a fierce roar and started to change. It was evolving to Number C96: Dark Storm!
The monster was huge! It easily crushed Kaito to death like he was bug. Yuma and Kotori ran up to Yuma's attic but the colossal titan ripped away half of Yuma's house leaving them totally exposed.
Kotori turned towards Yuma and declared “Well if Cathy gets to do it then so do I!”
She went to press her lips against Yuma's but before she could she was impaled by Dark Storm's tentacle. Yuma could feel the warmth of her body slip away before she was dragged away into Dark Storm's endless hunger.
Yuma was alone and this monster of pure evil surrounded him on every side. There was no hope left.
- - - - -
Yuma awoke with a scream! Astral quickly asked “What is wrong?”
“Just a terrible nightmare.”
For noipale
“Hey Ryoga! What are you doing hiding all the way out here?” cheerfully asked Kotori.
“What? Kotori why are... never-mind. It doesn't matter, just leave me alone” said a distressed Ryoga.
“No way! Yuma and everybody is worried about you. You can't just go and disappear at a time like this. Everybody is asking 'where is Shark'.” pleaded Kotori.
“Shark is dead. The things I have done, they can never forgive me. I have messed up bad before and I have always bounced back. Nothing has ever kept me down. But this is totally different. There is no atonement here. I just need to pay for what I did. Suffer the consequences.”
Ryoga turned and started walking away but Kotori ran over and grabbed his arm. With tears in her eyes she screamed “Please don't go Ryoga!”
Shocked by her sudden burst of emotion Ryoga slowly turned to look her in the eyes, those beautiful eyes of her. He started to to say “Why... why would you...”
“We need you! No, I need you. So please stay. I know you are hurting, I can feel all of your regret but it is ok. I do forgive you. So please... please just don't go away.”
Ryoga slowly placed his hands on her hips and stared her down hard as you said, “Ok I don't know everybody else but I can stay with you Kotori. But you do need to know, I am dangerous.”
Kotori smirked and said in a kinky voice “I like danger.”
Ryoga's lips embraced hers in a long passionate kiss.
For Shaaku
Thomas slowly opened his eyes. His hands were tied down. His feet were tied down. His whole body arched and his mind was a daze. The whole room was dark. He had no idea what was going on. Unexplained terror crept up his spine. Just where was he and what exactly happened to him! The last thing his frantic mind could remember was that he was in a duel... and he may have lost that duel.
Suddenly a creaky heavy-set door flung open and light flooded the room as a silhouette stood in the doorway. It didn't take long to recognize the figure, how could he ever forget her, Kamishiro Rio. She was the woman that has haunted his dreams for years. She was a manifestation of his failure and shame.
Rio spoke in a powerful voice, “So you are the one called IV, the one who put me in a coma before.”
Thomas looked away in guilt when he noticed he was no longer wearing the pants he had on before, in fact he had no pants on but instead a skirt! He screamed in confusion, “What is going on!”
Rio smiled and said “I never got to be properly introduced to you. I lost 2 years of my life thanks to you. My schooling, my friends, and everything I loved vanished for a complete 2 years of pure darkness and misery.”
Thomas screamed back “I am sorr...”
“Shut up!” interrupted Rio. “Around my brother and his friends I act nice but all my rage has been buried deep in me for too long!”
Rio moved towards him and rubbed her hand up his inner thigh, slowly raising his skirt. Thomas shivered, her hand was icy cold! Her skin was inhuman, like that of an ice demon.
Rio said sadistically “You are going to wish you were in a coma”
For Yugioh-gal
Cathy couldn’t stop thinking about it. Oh how it aggravated her so much. Yuma was on a date right now with Kotori. She adored Yuma so much but could not understand what he could possibly see in boring Kotori. No matter how much she thought about it she couldn’t see what Kotori had that she didn’t. She would make such a better girlfriend to Yuma then Kotori ever could. Despite all that logic they still had a date tonight at who knows where. Cathy would have loved to spy on them and maybe sabotage Kotori but she was unable to get that detail. All she could do was imagine what they were doing right now.
Maybe they were having dinner as they playfully cleaned food off each other’s mouths. That is use their tongues to lick off food on each other’s faces until it turned into a kiss… gah what was she thinking! That is horrible and just gross!
No instead maybe they were at a movie. Kotori being such a little baby would get scared and then Yuma would wrap his arms around her. Then she would try to be sly and rub her hands up his legs like it was an accident. Cathy felt even more disgusted!
All of that was wrong. She knew they couldn’t be doing any of those silly things. Maybe she just came over to his house. Yuma being the adorable lovable dork he is would start showing her some new cards he got but since Kotori is lame and is not a duelist she quickly gets bored. Yeah this sounded better to her. Course over time she would get cold so then she would get under the blankets of his bed and he would snuggle up to her. Clothes would start to come off which is totally counter-productive so they shouldn’t do that. Like they really shouldn’t do that. Oh please say they are not doing that!
“Hey aren’t you one of Yuma’s friends? Cathy right?”
Cathy snapped out of her daze. Ryoga Kamishiro, better known as Shark, was on his motorbike next to her. Why was here? Wait why was she here? Actually where is here?
Cathy’s face flustered as she jumbled words together “Ahhhe um I mean… well you see. Iamtotallylost!”
Shark exclaimed, “Whoa hey calm down babe. No need to freak. Just thought you looked familiar. This is pretty far away from where you live.”
Cathy started to regain her cool and tried to come up with a less embarrassing story then the truth, “Well you see… I was just going for a walk. Just strolling through town, you know getting exercise. I don’t come to this side of town often so I thought I would mix it up. A cat needs to think on her feet you know.”
“Yeah she never knows when a predator will come along and swipe her off her feet,” said Shark with a smile. “Come on I am sure there are better things you could be doing then wandering the streets alone at this hour.”
Cathy was surprised by Shark’s statement. “Oh? I hope so. This isn’t really a good time.”
Shark extended his hand out, “Why don’t you hop on and I will give you a ride. I’ll show you what a good time is.”
Cathy was at a loss for words. What could she say to reply to that? What exactly was Shark hinting at. She didn’t know Shark well enough to understand how he felt inside but all of a sudden she really wanted to know him better. Guess speaking is pointless when actions speak louder than words. She got the back of his motorbike in excitement.
They took off into the rushing wind. For a while they just drove enjoying the ride. Without even realizing it Cathy had wrapped her arms around Shark’s chest to hang on. Oh how strong his body felt. It seemed completely different from Yuma’s too. Over time her head came to rest comfortable on his shoulders, she felt like she could take a cat-nap right there curled around him as drove through the night. She felt intoxicated by the smell of his hair.
After some time Shark did ask, “So was there anyone in particular you wanted to go?”
“Well I guess I am kind of hungry.”
Shark took her to a Sushi bar. As they ate they started to just naturally discuss duel strategies. They each showed off some of their favorite cards from their respective decks and even each gave the other advice. After Shark paid and they left the restaurant Cathy began to freak out. She was having too much fun! She hoped this wasn’t it and then he would just drop her off at her house and be gone. Oh no that would suck.
“So what now? Where we going to next? What are we doing next?” nervously asked Cathy.
Shark seemed intrigued by her eagerness. “Oh someone is excited. Good to know you are not boring. Maybe we should do something a bit bold.”
“Bold? What do you mean?” asked a confused Cathy.
“I mean something out of the ordinary. Maybe go someplace we aren’t supposed to. You wouldn’t be a scaredy cat about that would you?” asked Shark.
Cathy quickly replied, “Heck no! I mean as long as you are with me.”
“Ok then how do you feel about getting your paws wet kitty cat?” asked Shark with a slick grin.
“Oh Ryoga, you really are a Shark. Trying to lure a pretty cat into your ocean. Well go for it! Show me everything you got!” said Cathy in a flirty tone she had never used before.
“Sound good pretty cat Cathy. Let ride then. You’ll need to hang on tight.”
They took off for a public pool that was closed for reconstruction. Shark went full-throttle drove off a ramp that was set-up right outside the gate. His motorbike went up it and flew into the air! Cathy was scared and excited in one sudden weird rush of adrenaline! They landed on the inside of the locked gate. It was late at night with nobody around for miles. They had a clean and filled pool all to themselves.
Cathy blurted out, “Oh how am I suppose to swim without a swimsuit?”
As she said that Shark had already dropped his jacket and was taking off his shirt. He smiled at her and said, “But we do have our birthday suits.”
Cathy's face was completely red. She couldn't stop staring at Shark's bare chest. He looked so damn good! Shark started to unbutton his pants and Cathy knew if she kept starring so intently she would explode! She had to distract herself. She started quickly taking off her dress. After she had pulled it over her head she noticed Shark was walking towards the pool with his back facing her, his totally nude back. She could not stop staring at he butt, it looked so sexy to her.
Shark got into the water and relaxed. He turned his back and said “Hey gorgeous, you coming in?”
Cathy was only in her bra and panties. Nobody had ever seen her like this and the first to have done so called her 'gorgeous'. Her body was really feeling hot, she needed to get into the pool. She took a few steps towards it. She turned sideways and she removed her underwear. Then she undid her bra. As she continued towards the pool her right arm was across her chest and her left hand between her legs. She was completely exposed yet she felt completely beautiful. In fact trying to covering her body with her arms felt like a strange reflex actually. But now that she was thinking about it she was way too embarrassed to uncover herself with Shark looking at her with those ravaging eyes.
She got into the water and leaned close to Shark. He wrapped her in a strong hug. She playfully traced her fingers across his chest muscles. Who would have thought he would be so strong and firm. Before she knew it she was no longer covering boobs as Shark gently caressed them. She felt incredibly good!
Shark wrapped his fingers through her wet hair and pulled her face to his. His lips locked with hers. His tongue gently flickered in her mouth. More and more it twisted and caressed her tongue. She was in pure bliss. She wanted more and more of him! She loved the feeling of his tongue in her mouth. She just feel his raw pure feelings. She moved her body even closer to his as she just couldn't get enough of him. His dick rubbed up against his thigh. Oh how large and hard it was. It liked her. It liked her a lot! She loved this attention.
Several minutes went by of them of them making-out and their bodies slowly grinding against each other in the water. Until finally exclaimed, “I think I need to get out of the water and some fresh air.”
Shark nodded and said, “Yeah you look like you need to lie down and relax.”
As Cathy got out of the pool her legs were so wobbly. She was legitimately concerned she might just topple over. Shark placed his hand on her lower back and guided her back to his motorbike. He had her lie back flat against his motorbike. Here feet rested comfortably against the sides. His hands caressed her hips, her thighs, and more of her. He gently sucked on her nipple. And then the other nipple. Cathy felt like she was dreaming a wonderful dream. His started to kiss her stomach and kept working his way down until his face disappeared between her legs. Cathy felt an extreme ecstasy like she had never felt before. She felt like Shark's tongue was worshiping her like a goddess. On and on his mouth continued to please her as she let out several screams of raw pleasure.
Finally he lifted his head to her and adjusted the rest of his body. No words could describe the anticipation they both had for what happened next. She may be a cat and he may be a Shark but tonight they both might as well be called rabbits.
Hours later as the sun raised they lied together cuddling when Cathy suddenly remembered how this all started. She had no idea what Yuma and Kotori did this night but sure knows for sure it couldn't have been better then her night.
“By the way sexy cat Cathy,” Shark said. “I forgot to mention that I can get us in but I have no way out until workers come in the morning.”
For my girlfriend Akulaledi
Akari sat at the table looking at her menu. Everything sounded good but so expensive. It had been years since she ate at such a fancy Italian restaurant. She had not had a good story in quite a few months and her purse was feeling lighter and lighter. Besides she wouldn't be ordering anything if her lead didn't show up. Akari had already anxiously been waiting a while and was getting concerned that she was stood up. She had to remind herself that she arrived a half-hour early as she didn't want to miss this scoop. Somebody with inside information was going to come forth with the details and secrets that went on behind the World Dueling Carnival. Not even her brother would tell her.
As Akari checked her watch the time turned to the exact meeting time. She wondered how much longer she would have to wait but as she looked up she noticed a purple-haired woman standing in front of her table. The women was wearing a lovely white dress covered in blue and pink butterflies. The woman pulled the opposite chair out and sat down. “Ms. Tsukumo I presume.”
Akari was a little dumbfounded. She was expecting her informant to be some sleazy old man who just wanted a quick buck. Instead this woman was well refined and elegant. In fact it was making her feel under-dressed. She tried her best to play off like it was no big deal, “Yeah that's me but just call me Akari. Just got here early so I could figure out what to eat... but I am still undecided.”
The woman smiled “My name is Droite and please show no restraint. Order anything you wish. It will all be under my bill.”
“Really!” exclaimed Akari louder then she meant.
Droite let loose a short laugh “Yes of course, you are my guest dear lady. Money is no problem for me. I invited you out and it is only noble of me to please you.”
Akari was having a hard time figuring this Droite out. She did remember seeing her in the tournament and believe she even saw Yuma talking to her once. But she knew nothing else about her. She certainly did seem different. Something about her felt special.
“Let me have the Caesar salad along with minestrone. Also Raspberry-lemonade.” Droite order.
Akari hadn't even realized their waiter had come by. She blurted out “Ummm yeah... let me just go with... the chicken parmigiana with a Moscato”
Akari quickly pulled out her Journal-Pad and started asking “So Droite you told me you have juicy information that a journalist like myself would love to know.”
Droite smiled, “Conspiracies involving Heartland, Mr. Heartland, Dr. Faker, and the mysterious person named Tron. All things any reporter would love to know but you more so then anybody seeing how your brother, Tsukumo Yuma, is involved in all of it.”
Akari let out a loud sigh, “I knew he was up to no good. Take my eye off him for a second and he winds up in a mess of trouble.”
Droite smiled, “You can relax. In the long run he made everything better. But I know there are a lot of gaps in what you know and I think you should know. But we have all night so be sure to enjoy your food as I tell you the story.”
Time passed by as Droite explained the story as Akari frantically typed it all down as well as recorded it. All the while they enjoyed delicious food that Droite was paying for. After they were done with the main course Droite ordered the Tiramisu with 2 forks.
When the Tiramisu arrived Droite ate a small piece and exclaimed, “Very delicious. You just have to try this.”
Akari was still frantically double-saving all her recorded data as she explained, “I don't know. I did fill up quite bit on that chicken.”
Droite moved her chair closer to Akari and said, “Oh please I insist.”
Droite cut a piece with the other fork and raised it to Akari's mouth. She ate it and smiled. “Yeah I definitely want more of that.”
Akari finished her Moscato and realized that it was her fourth one! She hadn't realized just how many she had. She just kept drinking more as Droite talked to her. She looked at the time and said, “Wow it is later then I thought. I can't be up all night.”
Droite rubbed her shoulder and said “I have it covered. I will take care of the bill and take you home. I will also box this up.”
Akari nodded but was confused. She mentioned, “Take me home? I'm just grabbing a taxi.”
“Why would you do that when my limousine would be so much more comfortable.”
After Droite took care of all the preparations she lead Akari to her luxurious limo. The alcohol was starting to hit Akari hard. Walking was making her dizzy and she was happy just to sit down again. As they drove in the limo Droite asked Akari if she wanted any more dessert. Akari smiled and exclaimed, “Oh yeah thaat would be great.”
Again Droite took a plastic fork and fed it to Akari. Akari giggled and said “You know I can feed myself silly.”
“Are you sure because you have food on your cheek.”
Droite slowly licked the Tiramisu off Akari's cheek. Akari giggled more and instinctively wrapped her arms around Droite. She mumbled, “That feels good Droite. I wonder if your tongue taste like dessert now.”
Without saying a word Droite locked her lips with Akari's and started kissing her. Droite's tongue danced like beautiful majestic butterfly in Akari's mouth as she just enjoyed it. Time became blurred but it felt like they made-out forever. Akari's arms wrapped around Droite's body with her hands feeling up Droite's skirt, her legs were so soft.
Before ether knew it the limo had arrived at the Tsukumo household. Droite gave Akari a sly smile and said, “I better make sure you get inside safely and are comfortable in your bed.”

Uhh I can't really contribute to any fandom aside from plushies (which is what I signed up for) , but I gave it a shot with the drawing thing too. I'm sorry for my horrible cartoony style ;;;;;
