im rediscovering my love for this ship and am super happy to find this finished after i started it all this years ago. love how you portray them and am on the hunt for more fics as great as yours. do hope you finish "red strings" eventually but whenever you get the chance. and if that never comes, that's fine too! you do you c:

thank you for posting!

This was an amazing story from every perspective
When I read something angst-related, I like to feel this shiver, this kind of uncomfortable clench in my stomach. This is what makes angst so real
And you have made an excellent job describing every single moment with mind-blowing precision
We can start with Yami's initial rage at the start of the story and Yugi's shock after he got hit by the person he trusted with his body and soul, that part was fantastically written.
Next we have the face off between the two of them and the fight and how far the whole situation went to the point where Yami allowed his own partner to get raped, never answering his calls for help and I just love how you changed the aspect of his soul room, it was perfect!
I love the way Yugi DEMANDED an apology from his other self
The way you made Yugi so strong and so determined when looking for the sealed fragment of Yami and facing his furious angry Half. The close proximity that changed everything and finally helped their bond, how yugi calmed his yami down...
But my favorite part was the way you described the difficulties yugi had to go through after he got raped, the perfect description of the fear of touch..
I think I am talking too much... Well in the end, great job, thank you for this great piece of art

oh no

Very good, I love it!

Buena historia! es muy triste e tengo qué adimitir qué lloré mucho, pero en el final todo terminó bien. Menos para los bandidos kkkk

Oh my god this is the most incredibly written fanfic I have ever read. Absolutely incredible 3

Wow that was such an amazing story! Read the whole thing in one sitting. I cried, I laughed, I cried, I hated you, I loved you, I cried some more. I loved it. It was a great story, you captured me and pulled me into the story. I felt Yugi's pain, I felt Yami's hatred, I was them. You made this story perfectly! BRAVO!

Holy... Friggin...
I had to read that all in one setting. My friend sent me this and your story kept me from the first summary to the end...

Excellent writing, well written characters (believable in their anime selves), the idea of Yami's soul splitting off a part of itself... Oh my gosh!

I cried. A lot. Lots of crying...

Very understandable ending. Good in the fact it ended on a light note, but sad. Very good though. Well done.

This was a beautiful and a very deep this, thank you for writing this, it's kind of taught me a lesson, that I would rather not tell you about...anyway, beautiful story~XD

10/10 I can't even function

omg you explained yugi and yami's characters so flawlessly. how even though yami is more strong physically, yugi is more strong in the inside. How yugi still got the courage to face yami. I thought he would have stayed broken and lifeless after being traumatized. And how they're both not heroes. oh man so well explained

I loved this story. It completely took my mind off off of the stress of college, work, responsibilities, etc. and I'd like to thank you. Very few stories can do that for me and I've just had two hours of calm, relaxing, stress free reading. Arigatou, Author-san.

It was great. Darkly beautiful and sometimes downright depressing sometimes but in the end it all fit nicely in a perfect tear jerker fic. I'll admit I was hesitant at the beginning because some people don't know how to write angst and the healing process of traumatic events realistically, and sometimes make a character jump into bed with someone right after a rape but I'm glad I took a chance and read it because it was amazingly well wrote and everyone was in character in the moments they needed to be, and I like your point of view in their actions because it all makes sense. All in all, it was a great read and I applaud for your writing prowess. Keep up the good work. :)

beautifullyt written great plot only thing I skipped was the rape part never read them unless told its a role play fic

I loved this story, but the last few chapters caused me to cry. It was so beautiful. I almost feel bad for them yet it is always fun to watch characters suffer. Good job, and I plan to read and review your other stories.
