Summary
On his visa paperwork, Ryou Bakura is an art dealer, with a specialty in historical artifacts. Sometimes buyers approach him looking for something more or less specific; sometimes he finds a good item, assesses it, and puts it on the market; and sometimes, like now, he and his father amass a wealth of properties and put them all up at an international auction.
But what he really is, is a thief.
While he's in New York for his company's antiquities auction, Bakura re-unites with Anzu. It should be so simple: a few drinks, maybe a night dancing- but more than unspoken feelings are getting in their way. There's the FBI, the Russian mob-
And a group of cultists after a piece that isn't on the auction block - what some consider the Eighth Millennium Item.
(Hostshipping sequel to "Your Love Will Kill Me," updates regularly!)

Summary
The bourgeois Kaiba family is finally going to cement its place in high society. All it will take is a match between the eldest son and the heiress of the genteel-yet-impoverished Muto family line. In spite of all appearances, it might be love at first sight between Seto and Yugi.
But tenderness of any kind is forbidden in the Kaiba household and what started out as a dream is turning into a nightmare for all involved. Seto can please his father or he can save his family; Yugi can quietly obey, or she can follow her family's hundreds of years of strength and tradition - they cannot do both.
They can commit to each other, or they can crumble under the heel of Gozaburo Kaiba. It's a harder choice than it seems.

Summary
"I’ll give you an ultimatum- the only way you walk out of here is if you win in a duel against me. Consider it the chance to prove yourself once and for all. And if what you say is true, if you really are the strategy behind the Pharaoh’s fighting spirit, then you have nothing to fear, and we’ll both know the truth.” Seto makes his way toward the Puzzle, staring, his face reflecting in the glass.
“…And if I’m right…” If… “If the true King of Games is somewhere out there…then it’ll be your job to bring him back to me.” Kaiba turns, his gaze locked on Yugi now, from across the room. “However long that takes.” Kaiba just needs one more piece to complete the Puzzle and call back his rival - and it's the piece Yugi's hung onto as a keepsake. It ought to be so simple.
It isn't, for either of them.

Summary
Yugi hasn’t taken Kuriboh out of his rotation, and at the Industrial Illusions Invitational in Milan, he’s hitting it out of the park. Mai comes up to congratulate him after his latest heat as well. “If you two can put aside the competition for a moment, perhaps we can enjoy some social time like adults this evening?”
He’d like to get dinner with them, but- “Kaiba also wanted to meet up. Maybe we can all eat together?”
Jonouchi’s eyes say, “Oh God no,” but Mai’s ruby mouth is too busy saying, “Sure, I don’t see why not. And we can eat at that lovely restaurant attached to your hotel.”What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
It was a really poor showing. He’s not out of the tournament - not yet, at least - but book makers the world over are murmuring amongst themselves and recalculating the odds. He’s going to go to the bar, place an order to send up to his rooms, and just….mope. Watch TV. Take a bath. That is the plan, until he finds the dark suited man waiting for him at the bar’s entrance. He lowers his sunglasses and looks down his nose at the disgraced champion, but it’s what he has to say that makes Yugi’s blood run cold.
“He wants to see you.”

Summary
He fans the cards across his hands, and Anzu sees they aren’t Duel Monsters cards, but much larger, with very different designs. Divination cards, she realizes. “Yugi and Jonouchi carry their decks everywhere. I don’t like to anymore, but I like to have something fill the gap. It’s not good practice, they’ll pick up negative energies, but,” he shrugs. “Perhaps that’s the only kind I have left.”
Anzu is newly single, Bakura is newly drunk, and he offers to read Tarot cards for her. Sometimes it's hard to know what your future holds, and worse to face yourself.
