The following stories are part of an AU I've named "Life With Kai-baby and Yami-kins." The basic premise is that Yami and Seto become lovers, and Noa, Mokuba and Yugi-tachi get to deal with the resulting weirdness. I'm trying to keep it relatively lighthearted while giving some insight on how a relationship might work between rivals. Fics below are listed in chronological order within the timeline of the ficverse, NOT the order they were written in.
