 Aniyu Shadowraven 2007-07-25 . chapter 4I'm not sure if I ever reviewed this, so I'm doing that now.
I really like how you wrote each chapter in a character's POV. I haven't found too many fics that can do this so well, and I really enjoyed it! And the pairings were nice too, though, I really wish I could find a Ryou/Yuugi fic in your collection.
Keep writing please! *puppy eyes* |
 CosmicEssence 2006-12-18 . chapter 4I take it Yugi's POV goes over a bit from Y.Bakura's POV doesn't it? That bit about taking his heart is so obvious to see from Bakura's point and Yugi's spot on the mark about it - absolutely love that 'whose the better thief comment' at the end! And Y.Bakura's right on the mark in terms of who Yugi is, what I mean is their thoughts and comments to each other match with the other, like with Bakura seeing the 'innocence' & there being more to Yugi than meets the eye matches thre little thoughts and the ending for Yugi's POv.
Ryou's POV is a little weird in places & its 'Ryou' you know? Yet in a way I can't help thinking it isn't...I don't know there's just something 'off' about him.
The four separated viewpoints is a little confusing to follow but informative enough each time to know whats going on and where it fits in relation to the last POV. I imagine you probably did each kisses pair first, wrote them out then structured them as separated alternating pieces?
Yami's POV, for starters he is the only one that actually mentions 'love' directly which for some reason I like, also like his thoughts on his host-they make sense without seeming unfair. The thought on Kaiba and 'volumes instead of issues' is very amusing and odd way of putting it.
Again Yami's POV fits with Ryou's only it seems to take him alot longer to get to where Ryou is at any one moment. I'm a little peeved that you didn't show Ryou telling or Bakura asking for what he ewanted - course he wouldn't have said Yuugi's heart outright or whatever but you seemed to suggest he said something to Ryou and then didn't finish it on Yami's end.I do, partially, like Yami's last sentences about the thief owning something that is currently forbidden to Yami..that was a good way of putting it.
Its all really pretty good, in charater and well detailed though at times it was a little hard to read and follow. But yeah...me like:) |
 Rhi-chan 2006-03-19 . chapter 4Wait, what's this? Some one actually wrote pairings including Yugi and Bakura and did NOT give everyone seperate bodies?
You get points in my book just for that.
I LOVE how you worked with the fact that Yugi and the pharoh and Barkura and the Spirit of the Ring were in the same body.
The characterization is also some of the best I've ever read in not just YGO fandom, but perhaps any at all. (I say this an avid fanfic reader of almost ten years now.)
I'm so pleased to see this story completed as I've kept re-reading it as you've been writing it. |
 Saori Aki Orimi 2006-03-13 . chapter 4Oh. My. God. You write so beautifully it should be illegal. Not if I tried for a lifetime and was sealed in a Millenium item to try for several thousand more years could I ever accomplish what you have.
These are amazing. They pulled me in and made me feel what the characters were doing. Strange how the innocence of kisses can be more erotic than the most graphic of lemons...
Oh!! There's so many teasers towards another story--! I wish this was continued onto the second meetings of them... *sigh* Ah well. I worship the ground a masterful writer like yourself walks on. |
 Shadow's Mirror 2006-03-10 . chapter 4I just read all of this story in one go and I loved it.
The way you wrote it from each of their perspectives was unique and different and fresh and really makes this story stand out.
You made each chapter seem as if it really was from a different character's perspective and you caught all of their personalities so well. You brought the characters to life and got inside their minds. Well done!
I think the first chapter is my favourite. Bakura is my favourite character and the way you've written him here, a little playful, a little dark but also warmer and gentler than many other writers, really appeals to me. I have to admit though, Yugi's chapter has my favourite ending of the four. I read it and it was just so Yugi.
No, I'm not gushing, I'm giving my honest opinion. I don't review all that often but I like to be thorough when I do ::grins:: To sum up; I really enjoyed this story. You have a great deal of talent and this is the most unique story I have read in quite some time. Keep up the good work! |
 noseflute 2005-12-16 . chapter 4Brilliant. Just brilliant. A wonderful end to it all. There's really not much else I can say that I haven't said already. :)
And I loved the one comment about Kaiba: "I believe I heard somewhere that Kaiba doesn't have issues, he has volumes. Complete collections, even." Just great. It somehow seems like the sort of humour you'd expect, too. Such a witty Pharoah. :P |
 noseflute 2005-12-16 . chapter 3Good job, again. Heh. :P Not quite as innocent as Ryou, and not as dark as Yami no Yugi or Yami no Bakura. Of course, I should have guessed that Yugi would be a bit of a sneaky little theif himself. I like the double side/ambiguity idea that you're working with, too. It works with the different sides to the story and the fact that Yugi/Yami no Yugi and Ryou/Yami no Bakura are both double sided in their own way. Neat way to sort of interconnect that. :) |
 noseflute 2005-12-16 . chapter 2Ooh. ^^ Still liking it. And as much as everyone says that these are "obscure" pairings, I can't help but think that they're just so... loveable isn't the right word, but I can be a bit simple-minded in the mornings, so that's the word I'm going to use.
A few things stood out. Like the sun/moon bit. I really liked that. Of course, I can be a horrible sap sometimes, so I shouldn't be surprised. Again, the characterization was done well. I rather liked that comment about the hat rack, because it seemed so much like something he would say, and yet it was cute and funny and sort of sad all at the same time.
Love the cliffhanger, too. It works. Adds to the effect and all that. Plus I don't have to wait for an update, since it's already all there, so that probably helps, too. :P |
 noseflute 2005-12-15 . chapter 1I like it. :) I think it fit the challenge from anichallenge pretty well (that's actually how I found my way here).
You've made this style of writing work well for the particular situation. I thought it was neat that you gave just enough information to let on what was going on, but there was still room to fill in the blanks, so to speak. Good work with the characterization for Yami no Bakura, as well. Such a sneaky theif. :P
Can't wait to read the rest! (Which I definitely will, as soon as I get the time.) |
 tinkletimekelly 2005-12-12 . chapter 4Nice job. There are so few fics with this rare pairing it's great to see a good one. This one deserves a sequel in the same style. It seems to work.
Keep writing. |
 Kailyssia 2005-12-12 . chapter 4This was really good. Very original. I loved this, it was written very well. You have to write a sequel or two or three. Please keep up this story line. It is really good. Please update soon. Keep up the good work. Both couples were great and fantastically written and really work. Happy writing. |
 Miyosuke 2005-11-11 . chapter 4 I, being a major fan of obscure pairings, love this fic! I like the way you wrote it, as a series of monologues. You're very talented! I hope you write more of these pairs soon. |
 Orenjiro-Chan 2005-10-09 . chapter 4Well, that was impressive and I found the different point of views new. Sharing a body with someone else... Didn't really think about how bothersome that can be until now. |
 anon. 2005-09-15 . chapter 3 Lovely story! You did a great job on the stream-of-consciousness POV for all the characters, and I like the order you put them in, too. Looking forward to the next chapter! |
 Hakiri-Nefertiri 2005-07-02 . chapter 3Hermione: I hadn't realised that you had updated until today, hehehe...oops.
Nefertiri: We still read the chapter!
Hermione: Yup, and I liked it! It sort of made me laugh how Yugi's being so cute and bewildered by these new sensations. Hehehe, I liked the last line! Very good! HAHAHA! I hope you update soon! I really like this, and pairings of Yami-Bakura/Yugi are really rare! It's a real shame, and You're is original because it's not one of those where Yugi's been abandowned by everyone or anything! Any way, I'm ranting, But it's because I like this fic so much! |
