Summary
Bakura is certain he's dying - dying at long, overdue last. His head resting on the chest of the Pharaoh Atem, flushed with what must certainly be fever, he can't decide if he's caught up in a dream or a nightmare.

Summary
The priestess shook her head, her eyes closed. "I told you, Bakura, King of Thieves—I’ve foreseen this. We will speak. And we’ll both live for some time longer."
Bakura stiffened at his name—not only his name, but the self-given title that he’d never told to another soul. "How in Isfet—?"
“I am Isis, Priestess of the Pharaoh Akhenamkhanen. And you are Bakura, the last thief of Kul Elna." The priestess opened her eyes at last; glanced over at Bakura. "Come, sit beside me.”(self-repost from tumblr, originally written Dec. 2018)

Summary
Wolfwood knew the legends, of course—samodivi, winged spirits of the forest who would compel humans to play while they danced.
“You misunderstand,” the samodiva said, his tone soft but sharp, a blade concealed in a silken cloth. “I want you to dance. You can do that, can’t you?”
Wolfwood furrowed his brow. “About as good as the next guy, I guess. But I thought—”
“What you thought doesn’t matter,” the samodiva said. “I will play. And you, human, will dance with my brother.”
“Do I get to keep him, if I can outlast you?”
The icy eyes narrowed. “If you can last long enough to satisfy him, you get to keep your skin. Don’t ask for any more.”or: in which Wolfwood becomes entangled with mythical twins living in the forest that borders the orphanage
Written for “Greenhouse”, a Plantwood Reverse Bang!

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.

“Ben!”
He couldn’t hear her voice—even for a Jedi, the space separating them was too great—but her emotion reached him.

She pushed harder, ran faster—lost the sense of her feet striking the sodden ground, called upon the Force to fly through the dark navy storm.or, in which Rey flees a thunderstorm in favor of a sandstorm, seeking clarity

Summary
Zhongli looked up from the scroll on his desk, and for a moment reality threatened at the edges of Childe’s consciousness; the dissociative fog wavered. Then Zhongli smiled, the same slight and soft and ancient expression he always wore.
“Childe. Come in.”
For a few more moments, then, Childe thought, and as if it were any other day shut the door with a quiet click. He won’t butcher this, not yet. He’ll let it ease away like dying breath, instead.the immediate aftermath of Chapter 1: Liyue

Summary
Rey never put any stock into the worship of Ren—as far as she's concerned, her own hard work keeps food on the table, not the favor of some local volcano god. And when a fissure in the ground swallows up her house, she's inclined to think it's less god's wrath and more just dismal luck.
When a stranger, Ben, drags himself out of that fissure, coughing and with live embers in his hair, she's not entirely sure what to believe.

Summary
The bookshop was hidden away, sewn into the pastoral hills on the very outskirts of Tadfield. One would never know it was there, if they didn’t go intentionally searching, and that suited the old bookseller perfectly. The only frequent visitors were the local witch and witch-finder, who often borrowed books and joined the shop-owner for afternoon tea and sweets.
Aziraphale, Guardian of the Eastern Gate, had vanished off the face of the Earth—rather, vanished somewhere on the face of the Earth. Neither Heaven nor Hell, nor even the demon Crowley, who had known the angel in Eden, held out any hope of finding him.
ON HIATUS with my full intent to come back and complete; I just can't speak to the "when" of it
