Submersion

by The_Half_Blood_Guardian

sub·merge: completely cover or obscure Yuugi Mutou solves the Millennium Puzzle with the hope that it will grant him his wish for friends. Amazingly, it does; he's gained two new friends. But they're not all he's gained.By completing the puzzle he's unleashed a spirit of the shadows, and as he comes to realize, the price he must pay is horribly steep: the spirit has chosen Yuugi as its host. Darkness is descending on Domino City. -Or- The loss of identity and the sands of time force the Puzzle spirit into a near-animalistic mindset, a dark soul clings too tightly to the light, and no one reacts well to realizing they're possessed.  (On temporary hiatus)

Something Darker

by CrimsonRavioli

Twilight's crystal necklace had always been surrounded by swathes of shadow magic. The sight of its darker aura adapting to Twilight's emotions had left Hyrule on edge at first, golden magic inside his own body prickling in warning. But he'd soon realized there was no cause for worry. Twilight was a friend, and never gave him reason to be distrusted. And besides - shadow magic may have been at odds with its lighter counterpart, but it wasn't inherently evil.He’d forgotten that not everyone in Hyrule was as accepting of that fact as him. And, frankly, both him and Twilight could have done without the reminder.
