    Summary

    After Battle City, the Pharaoh wants to believe that the hardest struggles are behind them. All there is left to do is go to the museum and unlock his memories.
    Should be easy enough - except for three problems.
    First, the museum is closed for a week until school begins again.
    Second - maybe the slightly bigger problem - he finds himself involuntarily taking control from the Puzzle at inopportune times, with his soul room flooding at the same time.
    And third - he refuses to talk to any of his friends about any of this.

    Clickbait title: Four times the Pharaoh refused to share his feelings, and the one time he did.

    Summary

    It didn't matter what Yugi said during the duel; it all just became white noise through the filter of vitriolic hate that he felt, heavy and viscous.

    And when the Other Yugi switched out, and a hard gaze turned to something a little bit softer around the edges, he found himself grinning wider — even despite Malik losing his shit in his head. Because this was the Yugi he wanted him to go back to, before mystical Egyptian artifacts and spiritual possession seemed to make the kid hate himself a little less with every passing day. This was the meek little mouse he wanted back in his line of fire.

    set after the duel monsters series finale, jounouchi struggles with the memories of what he experienced and felt at the battle city preliminaries

    Summary

    His Nii-sama would not, in all of this time, take a lover.

    But he doesn’t look. Doesn’t even seem interested in looking. Which Mokuba admits he is confused by.

    Until he realizes that there was no way his Nii-sama would invite someone into the family that would displace Mokuba.

    After everything that they had gone through, his Nii-sama wouldn’t let someone in because it would put Mokuba in a bad position.

    Then, Mokuba starts to take it personally.

    Yuugi's nerves are still a bit of a mess even after they've all made it out of Kaiba's twisted amusement park. Thankfully, Jounouchi's willing to lend an ear.
