Day 22: Love Language

i have my peace offerings...

Hey, this has been a long time coming but I finally finished my first fanfic!

I had the idea for it years ago, and I did add to it here and there, but never really committed. Then I got busy with getting married and moving country a couple of times…

But then my friend convinced me that I should finish it, so shout out to her for the motivation! 💞

It’s a sickleshipping/deathshipping fic, which I know isn’t the most popular pair, but please check it out if it’s your jam (I’m obviously obsessed)

Check it out here, if you fancy

The story is post manga canon, I’ve posted 5 of 30 chapters so far and the fic is roughly 125k words total. Also, it is rated mature so please don’t read if you think mature themes will make you uncomfortable (though nothing is wildly graphic)

I chose Sickleshipping (Yami Marik x Thief King Bakura) and apricotbone made such an amazing story!! 😻😻😻 It'll have 8 chapters and I'm also making art for them!

Here you have iitttt!! 👇👇👇👇

The Shadow People

https://archiveofourown.org/works/63840478/chapters/163710505

Summary:

When Shadow Thief Bakura strikes a deal with Priest Seto to retrieve the stolen Millennium Rod in exchange for a crown, he expects an easy bargain. But Shadow People can be dangerous, for they carry a burden far darker than one can imagine.

@resuri-art happy holidays I’m your @super-secret-conspiracy Santa! Have some sickleshipping with some background angsties

Made for @deathandnonexistentialdread

Some Yami Marik ships, as requested by @ladyhenbane . Everyone is invited to reblog/comment ship propaganda or fic recs!

Eclipseshipping: Yami Marik x Marik Ishtar

Formerly called Bronzeshipping, this is an absolutely angstfilled ship with some serious drama, no matter how you frame it.

Sickleshipping: Yami Marik x Thief King Bakura

I have the feeling that these two would be quite dangerous allies if they ever learned to trust each other. Definitely a power couple.

Fadeshipping: Yami Marik x Joey Wheeler

This one is super interesting in a fucked up away. Yami Marik did kill Joey in that one episode, after all. Imagine being prayed by someone that's already tried to kill you and succeeded?

Deathshipping: Yami Marik x Ryou Bakura

This is my friend Ryou, and this is Ryou's boyfriend, the cryptid. I honestly can't explain why this ship is as popular as it is, but it's one of the most popular Yami Marik ships from what I've seen. Maybe that's just the circles I'm in, though.

Midriffshipping: Marik Ishtar x Alister

Two boys with an affinity for crop tops that have learned how dissatisfying vengeance truly is. This looks like a crack ship, but I've time I wrote it and realized that it actually works really well, because they were both manipulated by cult leaders and had to overcome first the cult's control, then the cult leader's influence because they were acting like them.

Trashshipping: Yami Marik x Yami Bakura
