Summary
Yugi Mutou enjoys wearing decorative chains—for both their aesthetic appeal and their irony, considering his recent transition from slave to Betrothed of Pharaoh Atem.
Ryou Bakura, meanwhile, serves both his Pharaoh and exiled Thief King. But neither the Thief King nor his servant counted on the involvement of the Royal Husband-to-be in their plans.

Summary
If I can figure out how to use these cards, I'll never be starving again. The thought appeared out of nowhere, as if it wasn't even his own. Bakura sat there in the darkness, contemplating the implications and running the worn, bony pads of his fingers over the edges of the rare cards he had unwittingly stolen: "Dark Master - Zorc" and "Contract with the Dark Master."
The Rise of the Thief King. Alternative backstory for TKBakura, in the Ancient Egyptian AU-verse of the series Those who Rule Egypt. Can be read separately.

Summary
Upon his homecoming, Priest Seto Kaiba certainly didn't expect to find a statue of the Thief King in the middle of the palace courtyard, right where the Pharaoh's statue ought to be. He also didn't expect the stray puppy he picked up on his travels to follow him all the way home.
In the meantime, the Great Royal Husband, Yugi Mutou, makes a new friend, one Jounochi Katsuya, and Pharaoh Atem wonders when the power dynamics around his palace got so difficult to navigate.
Sequel to "For Love of Pharaoh and King;" "The Pharaoh's Lotus Garden—Part I" accounts for the time between the two works. Can be read separately, but will make more sense with context.

Summary
A visitor comes to the Pharaoh Atem's palace—a young man armed with a mysterious staff and a grudge carved into his very bones.
With the Thief King and the Pharaoh stranded together in the Shadow Realm, it falls to Yugi and Ryou to reclaim the palace from Malik Ishtar—both Maliks, as if one wasn't enough to deal with.
Sequel to "For Love of Pharaoh and King" and "What Followed the High Priest Home"; "The Pharaoh's Lotus Garden" Parts I and II accounts for the time between each work. Can be read separately, but will make a heckuva lot more sense with context.
