Unrequited
Author: Fate VII
Genre: Angst/Humor
Pairings: Bakura/Ryou, Jou/Mai, Kaiba/Jou (not that either of
them is happy about it!)
Status: Complete
Spoilers: Mentions of things through end of Battle City, but
nothing specific
Summary:
Mai Kujaku is faced with one of her
oddest tasks yet--extricating Jounouchi, whom she hadn't seen in over a
year, from a one-way crush on a cranky CEO, whom he still hates despite all
uncontrolled lusting. Chaos ensues and unrequited lub abounds.
Notes:
Okay, this is just silly. But
very amusing. For some reason, I can totally see Jou and Kaiba doing
the "I want you, but I really hate you" thing. *Snerk* And yay for the
bit of Polarshipping, toward the end. ^_^

Pairings: Yami/Yugi, Bakura/Ryou, Kaiba/Jou

So, what happens when you send six gay, or almost
gay, boys to the beach for a long weekend? Fun in the sun, a near death
experience. Then it rains... Strip poker and truth or dare!
Notes:
Okay, this fic is just silly. But it's a good
silly. There are some bad things, such as a few random author comments
and attempts to type Jou's dub Brooklyn accent, but this fic still made me
laugh.

Tragedy strikes. Joey Wheeler is gone forever.
Or is he? Joey POV. Post Duelist Kingdom AU. Will
eventually be Seto/Joey shounen-ai.
Notes:
I really like this piece...and I
normally don't like AUs. It's just such an interesting idea, and it
was really written well. I especially like how the author wrote Jou;
he was IC, and it just felt right. Very nice. ^_^

funny.

liked the narration style...it was amusing. Also, much love for Yugi
and Ryou in this one. ^^

Home
Author: purkledragon
Genre: Drama/Romance
Pairings: Kaiba/Jou
Status: Complete
Spoilers: None
Summary:
“Um, Jounouchi,” there was a short pause, a long moment for taking a deep
breath to spill the rest of what was on the other’s mind. “What’s it like
kissing Kaiba?”
Notes:
Oh, this is nice. <3 Not too fluffy, but just right.

Title:
Melting Into Blue

To the
Point
Author: Vera-chan
Genre: General/Romance
Pairings: Kaiba/Jou
Status: Complete
Spoilers: None
Summary:
Another of my "Jou reflects on his relationship" bits but with a far more
realistic edge.
Notes:
Wow. Just....Wow. This is quite possibly the
most realistic KaiJou fic I've ever read. I mean...I can
totally see it happening like that. Just like that. <3

Title:
Inescapable
You
Author: Ambivalence
Genre: Romance/Drama
Pairings: Kaiba/Jou
Status: WIP
Spoilers: None
Summary:
A not so innocent prank leaves Kaiba Seto and Jounouchi Katsuya collared and
leashed together for an undeterminable time. Now they must learn to work
together without killing each other first.
Notes:
I'm kind of on the fence with this one...there are several
things I like about it, but also several things I don't like.
The notion of Kaiba and Jou being forced to coexist this way is quite
amusing, if a bit poorly explained. I like the interactions between
Kaiba and Jou; how they change as time goes on and they grow closer. I
don't like some of the fanon used in this one...the bits with the
darker halves, the ancient Egypt references (dude, Jou does not have an ancient Egyptian counterpart!)
Plus, the characterization
seems off in places. Though, I can't quite decide
how I feel about Jou in this one...I've always been a bit iffy on the 'Jou's
dad is a violent, abusive drunk' bit of fanon. Jou's attitude feels
OOC, but considering that victims of long term abuse of that sort
often do behave that way...it's hard to say, really. All in
all, it's a judgment call.

Title:
Momentum
Author: Regann
Genre: Drama/Romance
Pairings: Kaiba/Jou
Status: Complete
Spoilers: None
Summary:
When Kaiba has a problem, Jounouchi comes to his aid. Remember: deserted parking
lots are romantic. JxS with the added bonus of some inventive uses for Petroleum
Jelly and free automobile maintenance tips. What more could you ask for?
Notes:
This is one of my favorite KaiJou fics. I love the
narration style, and the characterization of both of them is great.
It's just a wonderful fic. <3

into canon.

Author: samurai-ashes
Genre: Romance/Humor
Pairings: Kaiba/Jou
Status: Complete
Spoilers: None
Summary:
Kaiba drags Jounouchi up to the school roof to talk about the future... and
altoids?
Notes:
Cute. I like their banter; how they're comfortable,
without being mushy. And the altoids thing was just amusing. ^^

Title:
Gambler
Author: Regann
Genre: Drama/Romance
Pairings: Kaiba/Jou
Status: Complete
Spoilers: None
Summary:
Luck was Jounouchi's strength, like his heart was his weakness. Both
required him to be a gambler, though, and he never disappointed them.
Jounouchi takes a gamble.
Notes:
Interesting Jounouchi-centric piece. I like how this
shows his perception of Kaiba changes over time, and why.
******
Title:
Distance
Author: samurai-ashes
Genre: Romance
Pairings: Kaiba/Jou
Status: Complete
Spoilers: None
Summary:
With a vague smile he scanned the banquet hall for Kaiba. When he was
nowhere to be found Jounouchi found his way to the unfamiliar mansion's
balcony alone. He looked at his watch. It was still set to Japanese time.
Notes:
It's nice to see a good KaiJou fic that sets them a bit
further along; they've been together for a while already, and things are
progressing from there.

Clubbing

Genre: Romance
Pairings: Kaiba/Jou
Status: Complete
Spoilers: None
Summary:
Seto contemplates the
tongue in his mouth and the hands in his hair and wonders exactly how he
ended up in this predicament.

Why can I see Jou goading Kaiba into getting drunk?
That's about the only way I'd buy it, too. ^^

Title:
Late Night Antics
Author: Dai Otenba
Genre: Romance
Pairings: Kaiba/Jou
Status: Complete
Spoilers: None
Summary:
All Kaiba wanted to do was go to sleep, that was it. After a long day at
work, he deserved it! Unfortunately for him, Jou won't let him. Not unless
he gets a little something in return.
Notes:
...And Jou would totally do that. =D
******
Title:
Limited Time Only
Author: Dai Otenba
Genre: Romance
Pairings: Kaiba/Jou, mentioned Yami/Yugi
Status: Complete
Spoilers: None
Summary:
‘Call it whatever you deem it worthy of; a moment of insanity, a sign of
affection, or just an excuse to shut him up for awhile.’ Kaiba buys
Jounouchi something special. KaiJou, hints of YamiYugi
Notes:
Kaiba felt a little off in a few places, but overall it's
good. I loved how he was all awkward and stiff at the end; that's how
he'd be, I think. Kaiba's just not good with mushy stuff. XD

I Saw Seto Kissing Santa Claus
Author: Sazz
Genre: Humor/Romance
Pairings: Kaiba/Jou
Status: Complete
Spoilers: None

Christmas eve rolls around, and just as he's preparing to go to bed, Santa
pays a visit. Unfortunately, since this Santa happens to be Jounouchi, it's
not all peace, forgiveness and hohohos!

*Snicker* This just amused me, for some reason.

Title:
Admission
Author: cherry_d
Genre: Romance
Pairings: Kaiba/Jou, Otogi/Jou
Status: Complete
Spoilers: None
Summary:
The time has come to leave Domino High, and Jou reveals his true feelings
for Kaiba. But can Kaiba let Jou in? Can Jou force Kaiba to figure out what
he really wants? Why is the sky blue? Read and find out! COMPLETE.
Notes:
I like how Kaiba was so stubborn, and how Jou had to
practically beat the denial out of him. Admittedly, the Otogi/Jou
thing felt a little weird to me, but that's probably just me.
