"Hi! Sorry to bother you; I know you probably get asked this a lot, but do you ever struggle with your faith because of your sexuality? - Anon." Malik Ishtar is a Muslim journalism student who works for a freelance newspaper, and he lives in San Francisco. He's also pansexual and that's not okay. Not according to his father, or sister, or friend - they say that Allah will never accept him, but they're wrong and Malik knows it. It's just he doesn't know how to show them that.

[Puzzle/Blindshipping three-shot] I had an idea while I was thinking of scenarios and stuff for LMBYL. A little thought on how a closed and distant boy named Atemu befriended little Yugi.

After returning home from several months in an institution, Melvin emerges from his sane façade and goes back to doing what he does best; being a sadistic psychopath. Another part of his life is Bakura; the only good thing to ever happen to him. Ryou, on the other hand, has hit rock bottom in his life and is trying to get back to where he was before. He's been through and has seen it all. Now he's struggling to pay his rent and is working as hard as he can. Melvin loses the keys to his apartment, and, without paying the rent of his own, stays with the selfless, pitying Ryou, who only lives a floor above him. Ryou is completely vulnerable- perfect for Melvin to take advantage and make his life even more of a living hell than it already is. But what if it backfires? What if Ryou is not as weak as he thought he was? What if Ryou is the only one who understands the pain of being...alone?

Yugi has been living in ice cubes for years. What are ice cubes? The name his sector gave to the glass-walled rooms in the ICU. He barely remembers his life outside the ICU. Most people have given up on escaping. It seems pointless. But Yami is insistant. And who is Yugi to deny him the chance of freedom? [Art credit: Yugi by thepharaohinleather on tumblr.

~Sequel to In Safe Hands~ They thought it was over. Yugi and Yami were together and were safe. For good. But it doesn't last. It happened a few months back. First it was the car accident that brought Yami closer to death than many of the patients at the hospital had ever been. He had been struggling to survive even through the treatments he was given, and his young apprentice was always there, holding his hand, although Yami, wasn't entirely aware. But then, he came back. He and Yugi were reunited, and Yugi wasn't going to let him go again. It was too scary to think about. Things go back to normal. They both work 12 hour days, trying to stay as positive about their jobs as possible, when one day, Yugi receives an invitation from a friend of his to take a vacation and to get away from work for a while. So they go. Together, taking along few friends and meeting more. But when their lives are thrown into jeopardy again after another freak accident... Who'll be the one left with open arms?

Yugi always loved snow. Except when it prevented him from leaving his house. But because of the snow, he saw his new neighbour in the attic through his window. Ever since, they've been texting and calling one another. But why does he never see the boy outside, or anywhere in the house except for the attic? From YuGiOh_WattyAwards: *1st in Yu-Gi-Oh!

Thiefshipping little mermaid parody With my own little abridged twist Marik, a merman, has always dreamed of the human world that he's forbidden to see. He has collected items that humans seem to leave behind and drop into the ocean. With Odion and a disapproving Ishizu, they visit a boat full of humans and Marik finds (the sexy) Yami Bakura. After trading a precious item for human legs, Marik is able to live among humans, but just for three days. And, since Marik totally isn't gay, he may not kiss Bakura within that time, or else he'll return to being a merman. Simple enough, right?

They promised that dreams can come true but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams too. And Bakura is definitely not a daydream.

Even the strongest people in this world cry. Even the toughest cry and sometimes it is the weak who comfort them.
