Current Fics in Progress:

In Pursuit of Love - not yet posted, possible multiple chapters, crossover with Cardcaptor Sakura, pairings: Yami/Yuugi and Sakura/Syaoran. Freshman Sakura wins tickets to see her favorite celebrity, Yuugi Mutou, duel a rematch with Seto Kaiba followed by a personal tour of Domino City guided by him. She enthusiastically drags along her less than thrilled and overprotective boyfriend Syaoran, and the two meet not only Yuugi but his would-be boyfriend Yami as well. Nothing turns out the way any of them planned as Sakura and Yuugi lead Syaoran and Yami on a city wide chase around Domino, helping one another sort out their love issues in the process.

When Words Aren't Enough - not yet posted, multiple chapters (less than ten), pairings: minor Naruto/Sakura, hinted Gaara/Naruto if you squint. When Naruto begins having regular conversations with the Kyuubi, he doesn't realize that he's beginning a slow descent into madness. Can his friends save him before he reaches the breaking point?

The Spirits of Exodia - currently on hold, mutliple chapters, minor Yuugi/Anzu pairing. Before the group of friends can make the trip to Egypt, some of them will have to face their hidden pasts and greatest fears. Will they overcome them, or will they drag the world into darkness along with their own hearts?

Possible/Planned Fics:

The Adventures of Y-R-J! - parody of Final Fantasy X-2, mutliple chapters, shonen-ai featuring Atemu and Yuugi, minor mentions of Seto/Kisara, Jounouchi/Mai, and Ryou/Shizuka. Five years after the last episode, Duel Monsters is even more popular. So popular, that fans and rare collectors will pay anything to get their hands on ancient artifacts with ties to it. In response to the demand, treasure hunting groups have cropped up all over the world, and they'll do anything for the right price. The authorities are having little luck with all the theft, so Ishizu Ishtar recruits Yuugi and his friends, who form their own group to help protect and retrieve the stolen artifacts. Yuugi agrees, but only because a mysterious video has appeared on the net featuring someone who looks a lot like Atemu. His search for answers will lead him, Ryou, and Jounouchi into all kinds of trouble, across the world and into the past.

Kiss Me Goodbye - oneshot songfic, shonen-ai: Atemu/Yuugi. The night before the Ceremonial Duel, Atemu discovers a few secrets about Yuugi.

Who You Are - multiple chapters, can be taken as either friendship or shonen-ai. With a little help from an old friend, Yuugi's soul returns after being captured by Dartz to duel Yami on the ancient battle site and help him figure out who he really is.

Love That Transcends Time - multiple chapters, NOT shonen-ai, no pairings, AU. The exiled prince of Egypt is saved from a life of slavery by a young Shinto priest. The adventure they share results in a bond of friendship and love that surpasses death and time.

Something to Protect - multiple chapters, Seto/Kisara pairing. When someone makes an attempt on Kaiba's life, Mokuba hires a deadly new bodyguard named Kisara to look after him. As annoyed as he is with the whole thing, he finds himself slowly falling for his kind-hearted protector.

Sayonara Solitier - multiple chapters, shonen ai: Atemu/Yuugi. In order to remain in the world of the living with his own body, Atemu must embrace his true destiny, one that had been kept hidden from him even in the past. As his earliest memories slowly resurface and his fate unvielded, it becomes clear that Yuugi also has a role to play, both in the past and present. Will it all come together before a horrible tragedy from the past repeats itself?

Yakusoku wa Iranai - multiple chapters, shonen ai: Atemu/Yuugi, Ryou/Bakura, some Anzu-bashing, AU, malepreg. (it'll be a fantasy type story, so trust me... it's believable): In the world of Gaia, humans and yosei (fairies) live in harmony but have little to do with each other. It is especially forbidden for the two races to marry or mate, and any offspring produced from such couples are treated with contempt. So it comes as a big surprise when the human king Atemu falls for a hanketto (half-breed) named Yuugi, whom he and his yosei friend Ryou rescue from a cruel master. But with the growing threat of war, the manipulations of a jealous princess, a disapproving council, and Yuugi's relentless master, can their love possibly survive all the opposition?

Happy Re-Birthday! - multiple chapters, centers around Naruto and Gaara, can be taken as either friendship or shonen-ai. When Jiraiya gives Naruto a late birthday present, it gets him thinking about how he's never been able to celebrate, since most people curse the day the moster vessel was born. Thinking that Gaara is likely in the same situation, he decides that he and his friend are going to start a new birthday tradition.
