I Have Fic Art!!!!

I have fic art!!!!

The wondrous, amazing, incredible, talented @kathairoette gifted me some beautiful art for And Lead Me From This Dark! 😭

There are two versions, one with blood and one without. I’ve shared both, so TRIGGER WARNING: blood after the fold.

I’m going to be waxing poetic about it at the end of this post and I don’t even care.

It’s Yami, guys. 😭 It’s MY Yami. With chains that weigh him down around his wrists and blood from where he scratches at them. And his expression???? He’s so unsure, so stunned, doesn’t even know if the hand that’s touching him is real, and he’s too scared to look in case it’s all a dream.

And his posture: tight, still, hardly daring to breathe in case it all disappears, hands clamped tightly between his thighs to restrain the urge to touch. Trying so hard not to do anything to displease the light, not to do anything at all.

All wrapped up in such beautiful, beautiful colouring. 💗

I’m honestly weeping. 😭🫶

Someone took so much time out of their life to create something for me — for US. We all know that’s no mean feat. If you enjoyed this gift even half as much as I did, please, please leave kudos or reblog to show your appreciation and love.

@kathairoette, thank you so incredibly much 💕

hello everyone, I have a little something different to share today!

my wonderful friend @kathairoette and I did a drawing challenge together! <3

many will have seen this challenge around before: we each drew a sketch in 20 min and then switched our canvases/files, drawing on the other's for another 20 min and switching again. we switched a total of six times, amounting to 2 hrs of us having silly fun! :D and we both found out that if given free rein of the other's canvas, we will both individually devolve things into sex jokes so that's a fact about us.

anyway, those are the results! it's been tons of fun drawing together and I can totally recommend it: if you have someone to try this challenge with, do it and go silly with a friend. it's an amazing time!

Under the cut: transcription of the text on the images and the initial sketches we each gave out.

Puzzleship role-reversal AU following Egyptian boy Atem who transfered schools to Japan because of his father's job. As a son of a busy, high political figure, Atem constantly changes schools and have very little friends aside from Mahad and Mana who are the children of his father's close colleagues. (The other kids also got scared of him because his father is a powerful figure / only attempting to befriend him to gain benefits).

Atem grew up with strict lessons and pressure. Always have to be the best in everything. He always tried to maintain an aloof, cool-headed, always reliable leader persona, but in truth he's very shy and anxious. His only comfort was playing games, but it's very lonely to play alone (and he's not so fond of online games) (Mahad and Mana play with him but Mahad is older and doesn't have time to play childish games with him and Mana has other interests)

Atem had changed schools a lot, but it's the first time he moved overseas. He didn't know anyone in Japan and only spoke the language a limited amount (even tho his lessons back in Egypt always drilled the language into his brain but with no one to talk to it's pretty hard).

He instantly became The Talk at Domino High as "The cute/cool foreign transfer student from Egypt" and he didn't really like the attention. He became closed-off and only interact with his classmates a minimal amount, even tho he had always wanted to make more friends. (Now people thought he got a Mean Look, because of the frown 😂). Anzu was the first person who greeted him in good-faith because she purely wanted to get to know him and make him feel accepted in class (but he always brushed her off too). Jou and Honda are still part of The Delinquents(TM) and Jou just hated Atem's guts because he thought Atem is "snobby little Rich Kid". Kaiba is still Kaiba and he just Doesn't Care much.

One day, Atem got some free time and decided to visit a nearby game store: Kame Game. It's kind-of old and there's more board games and puzzle games instead of the ever-popular digital ones. But this is how Atem loves his games. (And there's always a weekly little tournament where kids can play Card Games against each other. Very Fun!).

When he came in, the store was empty and dark, but the store still has the "Open" sign at the door so Atem just kept going. There sits an open wooden box with silver carvings on one of the small table where kids play. Atem was intrigued to get closer and he saw some... wooden blocks. Maybe a Puzzle? Atem loves solving puzzles. Because this is just left alone on the play table, it means he can try it right? So he tried Solving it...

And as if the Puzzle itself was calling and urging him to Solve it... he's assembling it very smoothly. He can finally see that it's forming some kind of pendant, just a few more blocks but Grandpa Sugoroku suddenly appears and surprised him 😂 Gramps saw him with the Puzzle/Pendant and you know I really like the idea of him Knowing More than he lets on, he told Atem that this Puzzle was an artifact from The Gods' Time and whoever solved it will get a Wish come true. He urged Atem to take it home and solve it in peace. It might help you in some way, he told him.

So Atem brought The Puzzle home, thinking how that grampa was kind of Weird, but he's also intrigued with the Puzzle- so he's going to solve it. And a wish coming true doesn't sound bad at all...

Atem had solved it Perfectly, and it was a pendant. But nothing happens. Ha! What wish... Atem thought it's probably just Sugoroku's attempt to make him come back to the store and buy something. Atem was kind of Sad tho. But nevermind that, he got a new pendant now, so he wear it immediately and went to sleep. (Having strange Dreams about Storms and a boy with white robes and wearing The Pendant Facing Them... but he's not going to dwell with it- he must be Tired)

Behind Closed Doors

Yami was under the impression he was attending a business meeting over dinner with one of the highest clientele in the city of Domino, while hoping to see the charming boy he’s been crushing over for the past few weeks.

What he finds in Sennen Manor is far more than he could have ever expected.

yugi told him he can't set another guy on fire.........

Screw it I'm not gonna correct this piece anymore X-p

The future self will find me a proper way to correct some glaring flaws that I see but for now have no idea how to fix. I did the best I can, Your Majesty! Please don't mind crush me :-D
