Disregard the previous edit reason (I thought I had a stock edit reason copied, but then went over to copy an Export Save and forgot about it). Real edit reason: these are not realistic since being possessed like that cannot happen in real life.

** Ryou constantly staying home from school and having Yami Bakura-related problems in general wreaks havoc on his social life and grades, and in the post-series chapter he initially finds work as a barista.
** A lot of Yami Bakura/Marik fics where the spirit shares a body with Ryou either gloss over the consent issues or have Ryou be okay with it. In this fic, when Ryou finds out what they've been doing, he's horrified at his body being used without his permission and uses a shower as BrainBleach. Also, he initially doesn't believe Bakura and calls Marik on the phone to confirm it... and, due to time zone differences, Marik is very annoyed at being woken up in the middle of the night.

All of that would seem normal if the story didn't have the "Humor/Angst" category, as affectionate lampshades of Yu-Gi-Oh's tropes and characterizations, particularly of the dub, are in full force. The general surrealism and humor that comes from the situation is also focused on, with Ryou being able to stop Yami Bakura from causing trouble early on and finding out, to his dismay, that the evil spirit is bored stiff.

''Loaded Bones'' is a ''Anime/YuGiOh'' fanfic written by Stealth-Noodle.
Taking place before, during, and after the anime's season 4, with influence from the manga as well, it shows what Ryou and Yami Bakura were doing during that time and how the Memory World diorama got built. A post-series chapter closes out the story.

* BroadStrokes: Events from the manga and anime are combined, with the Monster World campaign and Dartz's near-apocalypse being major events.
* TheDogBitesBack: The final chapter has [[spoiler:Ryou getting back at Yami Bakura in the midst of trying to help him]].
* IAmVeryBritish: Played for humor. Ryou is British like in the dub, and loves fairy cakes, ''Series/DoctorWho'', tea, and other stereotypical British things.
