Oh, I did enjoy this :D The 1920's setting works so well for them, and it's hot too! Well done!

One word of advice though, keep an eye out on italics. For some reason, seems to enjoy taking pieces written in italics and taking out all of the spaces in the sentence. It does it to me all the time, unfortunately. If you go into doc manager, you can edit and put the spaces back up. Just as a heads up.

I really enjoyed this, and hope to see more! :D

I could have sworn I reviewed the first chapter of this? But I guess FF didn't upload it again...? Oh well.

Any-who, I really love the story so far. I'm in love with Bakura' dialect! 'less you fixin' for a lickin'!" I died laughing reading that xD

The idea of a story in this time line is very rare in my opinion, and I think your doing a hell'ava job so far ;D

I love the bickering between the silverette and the blonde. I love Ryou' role in-between the two. All and all, this story seems promising, and look forward to seeing what you have instore for it :)

I wasn't sure about this story at first, but, I'm intrigued. Now I wanna see where it goes :D

G'morning. Have a review. :3

Aw, don't feel bad about your author's notes; I enjoy feeling like I'm learning things from fanfiction. It cancels out all the gratuitous pornography I also read, I'm sure of it. :P

I really liked this chapter though. You're so good with the world-building stuff; I really like the bits and pieces we're getting of this universe. It was a good idea to decide to tell it from Ryou's POV too, since we're getting introduced to it as he is.

...Also, Run, Davie, it's a trap! xD

Ah yes, Lady Blackwell and her coaxing. (Psst, high five Lady. ;D )

The bared fruits of her labor sure paid off, because boy oh boy was this a kinky read. I very much enjoyed it. I can't stress it enough how much I adore your style. You keep it real and I love it.

Keep 'em coming, girl!

wow! it was hard to understand in some parts with bakuras...slurs...but it was awesome!

Oh gosh, 1920's? That's certainly one of the most... unique settings I've seen in a while. This may call for some fanart...

YOU MAY KEEP YOUR HOUSE. I am well acquainted with PayPal 8 Besides, your output may be greater in your own environment and I AM A HARSH MISTRESS XD

Poor Fiver needed a popular-media reference to imagine Bakura's accent, since she was stuck halfway between Forrest Gump and Gambit, neither of which were correct. So I gave her Deliverance. : I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY SHE'S CREEPED OUT NOW.

On with the actual review. I loved this. So much.

I love the 1920s feel of the start. Malik's suspenders. Ryou's choice in novels. The slang. Malik's suspenders.

OK, so this Malik is my favorite of all your Malik. His relationship with Bakura really DID seem like their Battle City relationship, from the meticulous planning to the subsequent banter. They're so delightfully rough with each other, and I love how you contrasted that with how gentle they are with Ryou. I also loved their one moment of tenderness:

Bakura relinquished Malik's wrists to instead grab hold of his tie and reel him in. "You look pale," he whispered.

"Compared to you?" Malik scoffed through a smirk.

And then they're right back to wrestling for dominance, all previous concern-for-well-being forgotten, and GOD I LOVE THIEFSHIPPING. I also love how they knock each other out of the way to get to Ryou xD. I love every facet of how you've characterized this three-way relationship. It's not JUST porn. It's porn that reveals a lot about their characters 8D!

How horrible is it that Bakura...erm...SURPRISING Malik made me squeal with glee? Um. Moving swiftly on. More quotes I enjoyed:

"It was always faintly dazzling when they worked in flawless tandem, without any apparent communication, all the more so when the subject of their partnership was Ryou."

Oh god, that's like the thesis statement of this fic's Tornshipping arrangement. God I love it so much. *grabby hands for more of this series* It took me two reads to figure out what position they were in for this part, but I feel vindicated in the fact that Ryou wasn't entirely sure either.

" A few weeks ago, he'd professed to enjoying the sensation of being filled, and since then he'd noticed the bandits making an effort to give him double-servings. "

How thoughtful! xD THEY ARE NOTHING IF NOT PEOPLE-PLEASERS. Or at least Ryou-pleasers...

And the dialogue at the end is great for what it reveals about their characters. It was really...SWEET, especially compared to what came before. More thief-banter over the post-coital cigarette. Malik reminding Bakura that they need to EAT, not drink. And of course, the ending dialogue with Malik and Ryou. RYOU'S A FULL-ACCOMPLICE NOW. HE'S GOTTEN SO BIG. And Malik's protectiveness was adorable.

ANYWAY. I love this universe and I hope you write MOAR. ;)
