open_in_new TagsKaiba Mokuba, Kaiba Seto, Mutou Yuugi, Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms, Grief/Mourning, strange humor Summary:
In which Mokuba, much like the rest of Kaiba Corp's senior staff, has some opinions the whole 'buying an island with an active volcano on it' thing.
Bookmarker's Notes:
So good. This is absolutely how the founding of Duel Academia(s) went and, as a bonus, this fic felt alive. Mokuba slice-of-life interspersed with the most batshit wonderful descriptions of fantasy tech interspersed with the insanity of both Kaibas. Would absolutely read again.

⭐ Insomnia by tend

Pairings: Kaiba Seto/Jounouchi Katsuya
Fandom:
Yu-Gi-Oh!
open_in_new TagsRape/Non-Con, Kaiba Seto/Jounouchi Katsuya, Kaiba Mokuba, Kaiba Seto, Jounouchi Katsuya, Mutou Yuugi, Honda Hiroto, Mazaki Anzu, Hoshi Kogata (OC) Summary:
It's a bad sign when you start to feel cold in July--not that you have to worry now. Domino hits a heat wave, Jounouchi can't get any sleep, nobody can keep the power on, and if Kaiba acts any weirder, the world really will end.
Bookmarker's Notes:
This was so effectively told that I was left almost breathless. I love utterly cloying, oppressive fics that build and build, especially with motifs of heat, intensity, or loss of self. In this fic, this presents as a reformation of self through hazy sleep deprivation and odd tenderness. The way this is portrayed is so raw that it feels almost intrusive to read. This genre of Yu-Gi-Oh fic is incredible. I'd recommend this fic to anyone.

The Isis Knot by Lovejoy

Pairings: Jounouchi Katsuya | Joey Wheeler/Kaiba Seto
Fandom:

open_in_new TagsJounouchi Katsuya | Joey Wheeler/Kaiba Seto, Jounouchi Katsuya | Joey Wheeler, Kaiba Seto, Kaiba Mokuba, Soul Bond, Forced Marriage, Forced Cohabitation, Unromantic Summary:
Jounouchi opened his mouth, closed it, then opened it again. “Oh, fuck no,” he said. “You’ll do it, because you don’t have a choice,” Kaiba said icily. “And neither do I. Unfortunately.”
Bookmarker's Notes:
Full disclosure: I thought I hated these two together. This may prove an exception to the rule. The hate and lust and tension are all so impactful. I've been brought back to my enemies to enemies who fuck roots for the day. Thank fuck for the "Unromantic" tag here, it really pulled its weight.

⭐ Straying by Anonymous

Pairings: Manjoume Jun | Chazz Princeton/Yuuki Juudai | Jaden Yuki
Fandom:
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
open_in_new TagsManjoume Jun | Chazz Princeton/Yuuki Juudai | Jaden Yuki, Manjoume Jun | Chazz Princeton, Yuuki Juudai | Jaden Yuki, Marufuji Shou | Syrus Truesdale, Tenjouin Asuka | Alexis Rhodes, Johan Andersen | Jesse Anderson, Edo Phoenix | Aster Phoenix, Slow Burn, Swearing, Flirting, Aged-Up Character(s), Future Fic, Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Banter, Card Games Summary:
The next time Manjoume saw him, Judai had a head full of spirits and a desperation that almost showed through.
Bookmarker's Notes:
If every fic in the world spontaneously disappeared, this would be the one I would mourn the most. The banter is top tier and the story is grounded enough to get away with feeling like a series of dreams. This person's prose is excellent, I want to build a house out of their words and live in it.
Straying is a love letter to GX first and a realistic slow burn second. I love hearing about the author's thought process behind every single major match. There isn't anything I would change about this fic. I have to physically restrain myself from rereading all two-hundred thousand words of it every time it so much as crosses my mind.
