    Summary

    Thief King lives. He has a lot to answer for, and not many answers.

    "Redemption" is an ugly word, and a false one. As a term it implies a set beginning and end, that someone is keeping track, that one day you will have done enough and simply wake up, forgiven. This is a lie. There is no great list of your evils to be crossed off one by one, if there's even such a thing as evil. There is only living, and tomorrow.

    Summary

    Just yesterday he’d been trying to fend them off and having trouble even accomplishing that. Jounouchi didn’t get it. He didn’t get Bakura doing all that smiling, or the leaning toward the crowd, or him actually holding what looked like a bento one of the other girls had been holding last time Jounouchi had looked.

    And then one girl said something, and Bakura said something back that made them laugh, very much unlike Bakura’s usual nerves or disinterest, like he was—

    Flirting,” Yuugi said with some disbelief.

    Oh, thank god. “I thought I was hallucinating,” Jou said.

    Or, Jounouchi Katsuya uncovers that this Bakura Ryou in front of him isn’t his Bakura Ryou.

    Summary

    11 years after the Ceremonial Duel, Atem and Bakura inexplicably find themselves back in Domino. When they meet their previous hosts, they realize how much things have changed: Yuugi, the now world-renowned King of Games, is going through a marriage crisis, Ryou is struggling to balance studies, work, and his brittle mental health, and Malik... well, Malik is living his best life—and his own yami is nowhere to be seen.
    They soon realize they all have to work together in order to solve the mystery of the yamis' return: some to make sure that they stay, and some to make sure that they don't.

    Summary

    there’s this imagery in our head that
        the host is some tortured angel. do no
    wrong, chronically wronged, but not
    in the way of lacking agency in this.

    Or, the souls making up the body of “Bakura” have thoughts to get through and no privacy to do it.
