Author has written 23 stories for Yu-Gi-Oh, and Crimson Spell/クリムゾン・スぺル.

Fifteen additional stories I've written for YGO are at Ao3.
(A few are alternate versions. A few are lemons. Some are JouKai.)
Expanded Author's Notes for some stories are at my LiveJournal and Dreamwidth.

Stories in non-YGO fandoms (including Saint Seiya and Getbackers pieces posted in 2003-2004 as Animom)
are under the pen name of Silverr both here at FFnet and at Ao3.

Temenos series: The stories in this canon-divergent AU are Impressions, KP Duty, Coming Clean, Face Voice Hands, and Beholden. (Out of the Blue is a side-story set in the same continuity.) Although in general the stories of the series try to stay close to canon events and characterizations, the Temenos Pegasus is a much darker version, almost "Yami no Pegasus."
(For canon Pegasus see World's Worst and From Page 41.)

Note: By FFnet's ratings definitions, KP Duty is "M." It is a story about sexual assault. The violence is off-screen: the aftermath is not. Some readers have found the story distressing. (Which is the point.)


Avatar: Series 1 Kaiba.


FANART: I've been very lucky to have some wonderful fanartists illustrate various works.
Shirgane777 did wonderful "costume design" fanart for Pharaoh Set and Pekhasu (Pegasus in AE) for From Page 41.
chibby did a commission related to Beholden.
Both ShadowIvy and omochi did art for KP Duty.
Ryou VeRua has promised to do art for Bitter in Soul. Someday.


NOTE: As of Aug 2015 all in-line links in my profile inexplicably point back to FFnet (despite being coded correctly). I've left them as is in case this gets fixed, but put the URLs here (take out the spaces).

TIP: Reviews and recs mean a lot to most authors. If you see a story recced, drop the author a PM and let them know where the rec is posted (not everyone is on tumblr).

Eleven years. More than enough, eh? さらばだ !

Art Appreciation by SilvorMoon reviews
Kaiba doesn't particularly appreciate art, or artists for that matter. A stay in Pegasus's home may enlighten him on both counts. (Written for the YGO FF Contest, Season 11, round 1)

Cerulean Spell reviews

Impressions reviews
At first he befriended the child and tried to nurture and protect him, but by the time Gozaburo was gone Seto had become someone Pegasus didn't care for at all. ** Precanon: Pegasus and Kaiba, from friendship to antagonism. ** NOT a pairing fic, but has Roseshipping (Pegasus/Cyndia) and a slight undercurrent of Toonshipping (Pegasus/Kaiba). (Temenos series #1, prequel).

KP Duty reviews
After Kaiba's defeat at Duelist Kingdom, Pegasus says, "Take that empty shell away ... teach it to wash dishes or something." ** Soul-less Kaiba and Dark Pegasus.

Coming Clean reviews
How is connection possible when kindness is unbearable? From Duelist Kingdom to ancient Egypt, Kaiba struggles to transcend his poisonous past. ** Mostly a character study. Dark themes, harsh language, esoterica, brotherly fluff. ** Brief Jounouchi/Kaiba, with references to Pegasus/Kaiba. ** Chapters 1-5 first posted 2002-2003. (Temenos series #3.)

Face, Voice, Hands reviews
If he'd thought about it at all – which he hadn't – he wouldn't have expected it to begin that way, standing in the rain at the annual memorial service for Mokuba, long after they'd all given up trying to get through to him. ** Primarily a friendship fic, Jounouchi POV, with slight Jounouchi/Kaiba. Clichés used sparingly. (Temenos series #4)

Beholden reviews
Almost twenty years after Duelist Kingdom, someone Kaiba is not ready to face again re-enters his life. ** Note: The story is classified as gen, but deals with sexual themes and makes reference to incidents of abuse and assault. Slight overtones of/references to Jounouchi/Kaiba and Pegasus/Kaiba. (Temenos series #5.)

From Page 41 reviews
Pharaoh Set knew that Mana had meant well, but what she'd brought back for him from the River of Time was certainly NOT Kisara. ** Humor/angst with light romance and an incident of implied unpleasantness. ** Established Mizushipping (Set/Kisara), assumed Mana/Mahaado and Pegasus/Cyndia, a discussion of Toonshipping, and mild situational Heiroglyphshipping (Set/Pegasus).

World's Worst reviews
An argument between under-appreciated underlings Isono and Crocketts leads to a bet: can Pegasus and Kaiba give up their luxuries and toys and work side-by-side like "ordinary guys" in a challenging job? For two weeks? Without killing each other? *** Snarky friendship fic: NOT a pairing, but since Pegasus is involved there are of course plentiful "overtones" and innuendo.
