![]() ![]() ![]() I just started watching yugioh again and it made me hungry for a fan fic and i remembered this one I read years ago. I was a bit nervous it wouldn’t be as good as I remembered but honestly I still really love it. The relationship between the two is so lovely and I did remember they end up together in the end but the bit where they exile him still broke my heart. Also I completely just invented where they discover who the bad guy was hahaha but it makes sense they didn’t. It would be good if you uploaded to AO3 to give it the best chance of being preserved! Hope you see this and know the hard work you must’ve put in was worth it! |
![]() ![]() ![]() One of the few stories that actually got me to tears. I knew what was coming at the end, but it was still wonderful to read. Thank you for such a wonderful story with all its ups and downs. |
![]() ![]() I loved this story from start to finish! It was so engaging! I'm surprised I only now found this considering I've been into puzzleshipping since 2006/2007 (whenever the Waking the Dragons arc was airing XD). This was and still is right up my alley. Yuugi time traveling and meeting an Atem that really and truly doesn't know him, and seeing him in his element as Pharaoh. Atem calling him "Aibou" no matter what (and that feels extra sweet now in canon because it's like his heart is subconsciously recalling who Yuugi is to him long before his memories return). And I love the idea of Atem surrendering the duel, surrendering his pride to Yuugi! That just feels amazing in of itself. Getting to know these versions of the characters has been a great pleasure. And I'm so glad I saw this story recommended and followed it all the way here XD Thank you so much for writing this! |
![]() ![]() Oh I'm gonna cry. I loved this fic, and I feel like I had two unexpected twists here at the end that got me a little worried but oh, it ended happier than I expected and I just love love love this. |
![]() ![]() WOWIE i read this whole thing in like three days and holy shit this was a NOVEL and was super entertaining the whole way, thank you very much |
![]() ![]() ![]() I doubt you'll see this due to how old this story is but I first read this ten years ago and have read over it many times since then, it's been five or so years and I wanted to go back and read it again today as an adult - I won't give a critique because I'm sure if you're still writing you'll definitely have a sense for the flaws in this story, and I hope you're still writing! I still think the meat of this holds up so well, the little character interactions, yugi and atem... I wholly believe if this was reworked and uploaded to ao3 it could still hold up it's own. this story made me cry my eyes out back when I first read it and I still have a massive fondness for it! |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is so painfully beautiful. I'm crying at the happy ending. I love how you focused on the story and didn't sweat explaining how things happened if it wasn't needed for the plot. Like how we never learn all the details of the curse, but it doesn't matter and that lack of knowledge even enhances the story by making it easier for us to empathize with Yuugi. |
![]() ![]() ![]() The send-off made absolutely no sense. Also, you SHOULD have outed the culprit who tried to kill Yugi. I'm pretty sure we all know who it was. Yugi could have accused Aknadin and the court could have acted against him(not all of them I mean Mahad IS the dark magician...) and caused a time rift because of the millennium items and maybe they could see Yugi's grandpa and Yugi's friends in his room mourning his for having dissappeared out of the blue for like two weeks LOL and maybe Aknadin "accidentally" shoved Yugi back into his time and Atem passed out once Yugi left... Also...HOW DID THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT HAPPEN? THE ENDING MAKES NO SENSE. D: D: D: |
![]() ![]() ![]() First review for me here! You're doing a great job! I do think you've put a little too much work on your shoulders though because if I understand the time correctly, that will mean Atem left Yugi AFTER remembering him and that makes this all so much sadder. I feel like Atem did this to Yugi to help him understand the real person Atem was, and his people and empire as a whole since he seemed interested in learning about him... I have no idea why, since this is post canon, that Yugi doesn't get Atem and Shada and Shimon to use the Key on him to understand him better. This all is before Zorc, thats true, BUT so what if they change the past and defeat Zorc then? That is a GOOD thing. Also...while I enjoyed reading this so far...its bittersweet you know? Because yeah, Yugi DID hold Atem on a pedestal. He has to be all kinds of let down. And the Egyptian culture from back then WAS that..."uncivilized" compared to modern day. Yugi can bite off Atems head and maybe shout in his face "I'M NOT A SLAVE! I HAVE HUMAN RIGHTS!" Buuuuuut I don't think that will go down so well, LOL Anyways, I just wanted to share my thoughts will you. :) |
![]() ![]() ![]() Gorgeous story with some excellent characterizations and a truly compelling illustration of ancient Egypt. I enjoyed reading this immensely even despite the sometimes frustrating vague allusions that occasionally made it hard to figure out what was actually happening (albeit a generally refreshing style of writing that forces you to think a bit more). Thank you for writing and posting this! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I read this once years and years ago but lately I'd been thinking about it so I tracked this down and reread it. It's just as wonderful as I remember and also sadder than I remember haha I'm so glad this story is still here. Thank you for this fantastic read! |
![]() ![]() 2020 here so ppl probably won't see anyways but This story had me crying A LOT but also laughing and smiling a lot too. It felt like I was seeing it happen on a screen instead of reading though it was hard to imagine new Yuugi XD This was amazing writing and has a great plot (and subplot) of its own. I was expecting the ending to be sad the further I read the last chapter and was pleasantly surprised instead. I cried at the end too but gosh I was so so happy. I literally binge read this and finished in less than 2 whole days which says something with me having no life. All in all I loved it so much even with the heartbreak in the middle of the last chapter. Though when I read it I felt this really strong sense of deja vu that I'd read his departure scene before, even to the last detail it was kinda creepy. Other than that trick of the mind, I just love the character development and the way you made your own plot and changed things for their future. Thanks for reading! |
![]() ![]() Greetings from the future. This was lovely, thank you for the ride. |
![]() ![]() ![]() ... wow. I’m actually speechless. This is my first time ever writing a review for a story, and all I can say is that I needed this. The story you crafted here transformed these characters into beautiful people and now I’m attached. I was incredibly sad when I got towards the end of this last chapter. For, I was expecting the two to live happily ever after in Ancient Egypt. However, I was relieved and so happy to see Yugi get his happy ending (even if I was heartbroken about his punishment). Honestly, this story inspires me to do better research when I do my stories. For, the amount of research you put into this only made the story more magnificent. I still can’t believe how much I’m crying over a pharaoh and his slave-turned-lover. All I wanna say is: thank you. Thank you for all the hard work you into this. The time, the effort- you didn’t have to do all this and yet you still put your all into it. Wherever you are now, I hope you’re successful, happy, and doing well. For, this story has changed my life, and I want you to know: you are worth it. 5/5 Would recommend it to those who 1.) aren’t homophobic 2.) need to read this 3.) appreciate works of art |
