On the road to the golden path

Title: Just a warm and cozy moment with you
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters
Pairings: Atem & Yuugi
Genre: romantic, domestic, seasonal
Warnings: none
Summary: Yuugi and Atem are on their Christmas break, enjoying their time together and sharing a wonderful moment of love and tenderness.
Author’s note: Fic written for my writing partner in crime, Dillian, for a Christmas fic exchange with the prompt “write a scene with as much adorableness as you can muster”. This is a very simple and humble fanfic, my first real one after my mother’s passing. I’m not where I used to be, not by a long shot, but I’m trying to slowly come back and pick up where I left off. As I was focusing on cuteness and adorableness, there won’t be any mention of scary or troubling current global events in this fic. I wish you all happy holidays and take good care of yourself and your loved ones.

Warnings: none in particular, please check individual fic for warnings
Summary: please check individual fic for summary
Author’s note: This is my very first fanfic since a long hiatus due to my mother’s passing. Since then, I was unable to write because of the immense grief. Writing in itself had lost all its meaning to me; which was shocking, as writing was always there for me, helped me cope with life, with stressful situations… and suddenly there was just nothing anymore. Now, more than two years later, I’m very slowly starting to regain my interest, motivation and inspiration. I’m sure that’ll reflect in my writing, for which I apologize. I do my best. The short fics in this collection were written during my hiatus, encouraged by my writing partner Dillian, taken from a now defunct writing prompts Tumblr.

Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters

Word count: 6.650
Genre: PWP
Warnings: full man-on-man action
Summary: At the feast of Giovedi Grasso, the height of Carnevale in Venice, Yuugi entertains the crowd with stories about his travels all over the world, but he hasn’t counted on one listener in particular: Atem Bellincioni El Sayed, son of an Italian duchessa and a diplomat from Egypt, who takes a particular shining to him…
Author’s note: Written for the Summer Smut Exchange Challenge, as suggested by my lovely writing partner in crime. Also doubles as prompt # 38, Touch, for the fanfic100 challenge @ LiveJournal. Choice of pairing: Yami no Yuugi x Yuugi. Prompt: In a historical period and some things happen. Settings/moods: in the city. ‘Amore a prima vista’ is Italian for ‘love at first sight’. Yes, I know it’s cheesy. :) This fic doesn’t pretend to be historically accurate. Feedback is a great thing. Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is a great musical inspiration. :)

Title: Murasaki (part 4 in the Colors of Heaven & Hell series)
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters
Characters: Mutou Yuugi & Yami no Yuugi/Atemu
Prompt: # 16, Purple
Word count: 9.088
Rating: PG
Warnings: shounen ai
Summary: After the tournament, Yami is crowned King of Duelists. Yuugi wrestles with his feelings for him, wondering what part Kaiba Seto might still play in Yami's life. In the midst of this rollercoaster of emotions, Yami’s dark and mysterious past catches up to him and on top of that, there are thieves and robbers out for the God Cards…
Author’s note: This is the fourth installment in a series of fics following the prompts of the Fanfic100 challenge @ LiveJournal, containing a color (red, orange, yellow, green etc...). The colors will be named in either Japanese or Ancient Egyptian (I’m not a native speaker, but I thought it fit the theme). ‘Iwen’ is Ancient Egyptian for ‘colors’. The entire series will contain fluff, drama, angst, some emo, waff, lots of friendship, strong!independent!Yuugi and dark!asshole!Yami (he’ll get better, sort of). Almost everything about the Duel Monsters game in this fic is made up by yours truly. I’m too old to learn the proper rules of the game, so I invoke my artistic license. Made-up first name for Yuugi’s mother: Sumiko. Please read in the designated sequence, starting with part 0 (Colorless). Feedback is, as always, greatly appreciated.
