I'm sorry I never got around to replying to your message, I feel like I'm not so good at keeping up with those kind of things. I enjoy talking to you and all of my friends, but I have a problem like yours when it comes to Hello?. I usually feel like I have to reply, so I don't. My mind works in strange ways, but this a story review, so I should move on to how you did on you chapter. Great, as usual, I couldn't tell that it wasn't editing. That might be because I'm ignorant, but I liked it just as much as your last chapter. I think though, that it was a little short. That's thick, coming from me, since I need to work on chapter length myself, but it isn't anywhere near as long as your others. I want you to know that I'm grateful you came out with though, and please come out with what you want to write. You should never feel forced to write a fanfiction. Also, don't rush to the end, it may be good to end it soon since it's boring you, but make sure it doesn't seem forced. I'm looking forward to your new material!

Merry Christmas / Hanakah / Other!
With Love,

Good chapter. Poor Ryou and Mariku. I hope they get straightened out.

I'm glad to see you've updated again! I do love this story, but I'll agree with you that the first chapters were the best. It's almost like the fact that you're forcing yourself to write this is coming through. I love this story, but I love the first chapters best, and the fact that you're making an effort is more than most authors do, something all your readers appreciate. But don't ruin it, maybe it's just time to finish. If you don't have anywhere you're going with this maybe you should cut it short and focus all your creative energy on a story you still feel passionate about!

Aside from this, the chapter was great, as usual. Flawless spelling and grammar. Loved the interplay between nervous Ryou and socially inept but getting there Mariku!

Oh ho ho you updated! :D I still love this story, I wonder what Ryou thinks is wrong with Marriku. Its interesting to see how Ryou's character reacts with Marik when he doesn't have Yami Bakura to protect him <3

Yay! Another great chapter! Thank you for updating!

very cool chapter

I'm glad you got this chapter out, and I thought it was great! I did notice something off, although. I really could tell that this was a chapter more asked for then planned out. I havn't the slightest clue how, it just seemed kind of forced. For the love of your great fanfiction, don't post anything if you don't want to. A great writer once told me forced writing is NOT the way to go. Create on your own time, the real fans will be patiently awaiting your next update; no matter how long.
I'm sorry about your beta, it was a great chapter anyhow. Just a tad short in the feeling department.

I just recently stumbled across your stories and I have read a few. So far I LOVE them! I love how you don't make Ryou a pushover, it's so refreshing. I don't know what else to say other than this is a fantastic story and I can't wait for you next update. Update when you can!

Thanks for this amazing story!

This is the sweetest love story between two very disturbed people I think I've ever read! I've loved absolutely every bit of it, except the foreshadowing when Mariku warns Ryou not to leave him (was that just before the party?)

Anyway, hoping and praying that doesn't pann out. Looking forward to chapter 21!

(PS just fyi, the word is spelled "fazed". I can't remember how you spell it, but you've spelled it wrong a couple of times in your various stories, and it jumps at me every time)

I've never even thought about Deathshipping until I started reading this story. It's a great story, I must say. Please, continue!

hello^^ you don't know me but i really liked this story the first time i read it(fight after you posted this chapter) and so when i found it again in the dusty recesses of my computer(i used to hijack my school's internet and copy stories to read at home)i read it again, entirly in one go^^ it was awsome, so now i've found it again and i'm here to say thankyou and i look forward to finishing<3

wow, this was by far the weirdest, most awesome pairing i've ever read... XD i've never read a Marik/Ryou fic before, so i was interested in that, but wow! your writing is amazing! and both Ryou and Mariku are so IC, XD i just keep waiting for marik to send someone to that Shadow Realm before i realize it's an AU fanfiction and not relavent to Duel Monsters. i also read your Shattered Crescent, and again, wow! you write Bakura and Ryou so IC, even if it's an AU! -huggles- i will forever worship the ground you walk on! please update as soon as you can!

Ah, I remember talking about horror film-loving Ryou and Mariku forever ago... This is what sprung from it? Goodie ~ glad to see smething good come from practically nothing. And of course, glad to see that it's still getting your attention every now and then. I am surprised at how, er... 'fluffy' is not quite the word here (jealouse!Mariku is not one to be trifled with!), but you've made it work well. :)

Can't wait to see the next chapter!

This is kind of creepy, but amazing. I like how Mariku is calming down, its getting really cute.I can't wait to see where this goes.
Great job, please update soon!

Love it alot.
