Sorry to spam with these bingo stories--I don't know why it turned into Diego Bingo, but maybe I'll write something different soon.

Word count: 820
Pairing(s): Diego/Mia
Spoilers: there aren't any, I don't think?

( A Light Step. )

I'm still working on request stories from that suggestions post, so if you asked for something, don't give up on me yet! I liked everything that everyone asked for. As usual, I'm slow, yet I also write more than is necessary, which makes me extra slow.

This story was written for one of armistice_day's prompts. However, it was spurred on by redvelvetaddict and me needing some serious cheering up last night. redvelvetaddict asked for some Kaibas, and I thought I could feed two birds with one seed, so to speak. (I just decided I don't like the version of the saying that involves killing birds.)

This story is a little bit inspired by what made us sad.

Title: Ghosts
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh DM
Word count: 3,240
Pairing(s): none
Rating: All audiences
Characters: Mokuba, Seto, Noa
Spoilers: For the part of the Battle City arc that involves Noa.
Warnings: Mentions of death? A little light sadness?
Summary: Mokuba thinks there's a ghost in his room. Seto thinks Mokuba's imagining things. Maybe they're both wrong.
Notes: Could be viewed as a slight AU, I guess? No wait, anything is possible in YGO, so it's fine.

( Ghosts. )

Yesterday, redvelvetaddict started writing me a little story on AIM about Bob (from my novel I, Private Eye) reading the other novel set in that universe, A Perfect Accountant. I thought it would be funny to quickly finish it up today, but you probably have to know both stories to get the (very very silly) joke.

I thought I'd post it here, since this is the place for silly things!

Title: Storytime
Word count: 773

Finally, it's my help_haiti story for pandir!

Title: Insight
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh
Word count: 6,600
Pairing(s): Pegasus/Seto
Rating: 15+
Spoilers: None, really? This is set pre-series.
Warnings: blood; and suggestions of violence, sexual situations, and child abuse (nothing graphic).
Summary: Seto Kaiba has come to see Pegasus, to propose a working relationship between Industrial Illusions and Kaiba Corp. Pegasus is indeed interested in Kaiba's new technology, but more interested in Kaiba himself.
Notes: After some deliberation, I decided to refer to Pegasus as if his only name is "Pegasus", kind of like Cher or Sting, because I didn't want to deal with calling him Maximillion or Mr. Crawford or whatever--he'll always just be Pegasus to me!

( Insight. )

Also, some bonus pencil illustrations. Warning: a little bit of blood.

( 4 images behind the cut. )

Genre(s): Romantic comedy
Summary: Romance-impaired Apollo is ready to give up on dating altogether, but Mr. Wright has a better idea: why not get advice from an expert?

( Good Advice )

Title: Friday Night
Series: Ace Attorney
Word Count: 6200
Pairing: Gumshoe/Edgeworth
Rating: General audiences
Genre(s): Romantic comedy
