Fic Recs!
So glad I finally have an excuse to use this icon, xD At any rate, these are my Top Fics of the Last Few Months, and I hope you all enjoy them as much as I did.
Being me, they all feature Malik. And full and fair disclosure, I beta two of them, xD (Mehet and Newlydeads)
CANON UNIVERSE:
The Definition of Love by Ariadne Bassarid
Ryou likes Anzu. Bakura likes Malik. Problematic, when they share one body - and even more so, when Bakura is the one who's running it most of the time.
Pairing(s): Ryou x Anzu; Bakura x Malik; Ryou x Anzu x Bakura x MalikTwo-part; In Progress
Stumbling across this fic today was my major motivation in making this list, xD
We'll Be Kings In Another Life by Aramis-chan
A while after the ceremonial duel, Malik is peacefully living in Japan with Rishid when, on a rainy spring day, a newly embodied former ring spirit waltzes into his bedroom; and that's just the start.
Pairing(s): Rishid/Malik/Bakura/Ryou
Oneshot, Complete
Mehet by sefina
I am an Ishtar. A tombkeeper. A guardian of the old ways. Rishid bears the secret to the King's memories on his back. Isis will give birth to a new heir. So then what is my role? My importance? My reason? (Genderbent Malik)
Pairing(s): None yet
Multichap, In Progress
A Noble a Thief by Koi no Soshan
Neither is well suited to peace, but they stumble through it all the same.
Pairing(s): Malik x Thief King Bakura
Multichap, In Progress
MALIK HAS A KID IN THIS STORY. MY SQUEE, IT KNOWS NO BOUNDS
Cutting a Deal , Sweet As Any , and Collector's Item all by budiamond
Short Thiefshipping oneshots with among the best character portrayals and relationship dynamics I've run across
Pairing(s): Malik x Bakura
Oneshots, Complete
Victim of Circumstance, The Jackal's Pupil, and Glacier by made-in-wonder
Very short Angstshipping oneshots, again with really amazing characterization

Oneshots, Complete
ALTERNATE UNIVERSE:
Stars From the Gutter by LifeInABox66
Life has much to offer those who step outside their allocated role. When Anzu is whisked into a royal palace and Ryou is propelled into a den of thieves, both face Promethean politics and a cold war of rival empires. Steampunk AU.
Pairing(s): Anzu x Mai; Malik x Ryou x Bakura
Multichap, In-Progress
Newlydeads by Fiver
In a world where 'zombies' have become commonplace, Bakura Touzoku is just another breather doing his best to avoid the living-impaired. But then he meets Malik, who isn't taking death lying down. Who needs a beating heart, anyway?
Multichap, In-Progress
