(Cont) AND - Y&Y’s love ushering fairyland into a golden age of accepting humans again and changing the laws and forgiving his mothers hatred. Ugh. Okay I’m done I promise xD

I have lots of feelings and I don’t think I can wait until morning to write them out, lest I lose them. So I’m going to bombard you at 3am (Edit: it’s 4am by the time i finished writing this) because for two/three? (Omg I can’t remember) Straight days and nights I have focused on reading this. I legit could not stop. I barely stopped to review, let alone eat or answer my phone.

I am DEVASTATED to have finished this story because I loved it SO MUCH. My heart actually hurts right now because it’s so heavy. I have fallen deeply in love with these personalities and this world and this storyline. I couldn’t have stopped it if I tried.

This is a true, honest fantasy love story. It’s honest and real in its emotions and emotional situations. This love is not The exaggerated or forced or “I was destined to love you and that’s the only reason *coughstephaniemeyer*”. It’s unexpected, and deep, and a love that is TRIED. It is a love I can feel transcending through your prose- I mean every letter when I say I felt the emotions of every character myself. Every expression of LOVE, of fear, uncertainty, happiness, pain, and pride. Everything was written in such a way your words dripped with them and I could do little more than experience it with them. I’m exhausted after reading this because of the rollercoaster my heart has been through, and I loved every. Goddamn. Second.

I loved seeing some similar themes you’ve used in your more recent works; your themes on /choice/, on love needing to be tried to be true, marriage not being all rainbows and daises, etc. Even the water motifs, the moon tree and the ice skating symbolism, shit girl. You don’t half ass anything you whole ass everything. And the BEHEMOTHS of chapters here omg I did not expect them to be so long but I am VERY appreciative of them.

I was crying (Real tears. Not ashamed) from the graveyard scene on. My heart broke, my heart broke again thinking of losing Joey and Tristan, and then it broke a third time contemplating Yami and Yugi’s own mortality in this story and their eventual inevitable passing. I have never been one who has truly feared dying or the afterlife, rather I fear what the aftermath of my death would be. But this freaking chapter. Opened up my heart to that fear of mortality (sparked VERY MUCH SO from the line about having been able to live long enough to see his great grand son born I sincerely promise I’m not crying harder) And the anguish, but Also beauty, in that thought. I am not someone who actively believes or is able to see my life ending with marriage and a family, and this story has tugged at my goddamn heartstrings and is giving me baby fever. I blame this story for my new found hormones and I will happily ride this wave.

Then I got to the epilogue and it’s just a beautifully wrapped up nice neat package of cyclical love stories and I cried even harder.

God this is one of my favorite puzzle shipping stories. Your prose is so detailed and beautiful I honestly felt like this was real, and I was standing in their world watching them the entire time. I can still feel the anguish and pain from Yugi waking Yami up after turning, and him not believing he’s real and that Fate is just wishing to punish him harder.
Yugi sacrificing his happiness to try To do the right thing and to keep his loved ones from hurting and ending up only hurting everyone including himself. To do what was expected of him, in the grand scheme of things. Ugh. Yami with the children and interacting with Yugi with them. “See what youVe done now? Now they’ll never let go” my HEART Lauren. Yamis absolute REVERENCE of him, Yugi’s absolute confidence in his love for him. Their love is SO gorgeous I can’t stand it. their inability to live without each other, bond or no. I fully believe if they had not been bonded that night, Yugi would have gone back. Not right away, but he would have waited in that forest until the veil opened enough for Luna to reach him.

I loved this. I hope that is abundantly clear. And I’m going to go deal with all my emotions before i become a blubbering mess.

Okay so. I was fully ready for you to give me some baby fairies, and I was waiting for a loophole about the doctors somehow missing it and how baby fairies gestating at a faster rate idk I was convinced. It reminded me of Rhebekka's reveal chapter. And now after reading the authors note next chapter and finding out we are ALL wrong (xD) I went back and re-read the past like four chapters looking for clues. Is it about the kids inaugurating him into the family? The being the other half of my soul thing from the toast? Did he get sick from the snow when he went to go cry? Lauren istg you have no contenders for your crown lmao

and while I'm here documenting my peeved-ness at not being able to figure it out, I'm just gonna reiterate how lovely this story is and this world you've created. The emotions here are so strong and i swear I feel them with the boys. the love and the grief is palpable and real and ugh. I wish more than anything i was talented enough to draw to make fanart for this story because of how big and beautiful this world and these scenes are. the ice skating scene with Yami being there like Ghost and Yugi performing his heart out because he is imaging he is back in Yami's world... i'm not crying, you're crying

Whether it's Atem, Timaeus, or Yami, the way you have them interact with children absolutely warms my heart. I loved the little munchkin scene, and we get quite a fair bit of foreshadowing here. I, myself, am dying to see Yami watch Yugi skate :)

Okay can we talk about how absolutely adorable and hilarious Mahado bathing Yugi is? and the "I can't believe he /honestly/ thinks you're a threat (eyeroll)" omg. I lost it at that.

I really like the scenery you've created here - I think it's fantastically well-thought out and very clear in the details. With every sentence the world becomes more defined and it's a clear image in my head. Well done :)

So question, does Mia and Serenity know about Fairyland? Because it'll be hard to explain why Yusei is still a toddler after 7 years and the fact that the boys haven't grown or Yugi and Yami ageing. Anyway I have finally finished this fic! *flop* it's a bit of a bittersweet moment for me as it has taken me so long because I just kept dropping it and finding other things to read and *sigh* I'm happy that I've finished it

Ah! I have dropped this story so many times and then I forget where I was start at a point I vaguely remember which is actually the first time Yugo is introduced to Yami's sons and then drop it again! But I have now found the perfect time to read, which is when I feed my baby girl (she's 5 months by the way) my goodness so much has changed but I have nearly got myself up to date, need to do Our Lady and All I Ever Wanted. But I'm getting there quarantine certainly helps that. Anyway lovely work and I love coming back to the world's you create

Spirited away references right there

I absolutely love this story!
I've read it like five times now and I just can't seem to stop loving it. I'm actually re-reading it again haha

the plot is good so far

Love it!

This was the best story I ever read

I truelly love this story! I have already read it 5 times, if not more. I look forward to more exciting stories such as this one.
Even if it's not a Yugioh fanfic. Do you write such stories? Not that I am complaining if you don't
I believe you have great potential. And I mean it in all seriousness. I have red a lot of fanfiction over the years. (that sounds like I have no life

It's official I am totally in love with your stories. The Frost King in particular is a pure masterpiece, I really mean it. I sincerely think this story is one of the 5 fanfictions I love the most. I think this story changed something in me. This story makes me so dream.

Your story amazed me, I love the fantastic universe you created. Your descriptions of Fairyland are beautiful I was completely immersed in your world during my reading.

I imagined your world and I really wanted to live in it, everything is so beautiful and magical. I have rarely read stories with imaginary worlds as well described and developed. I was amazed and really wanted to know this place.

And then, something that I love in your writings is that all the characters have their own story, they are not just there to advance the plot.
Every child has his own story and his talent.
Yami's family is so much fun. Mahado and Mana who took Yugi as a doll was too funny. They are great despite their dark past.
I like how Yugi fits naturally in Fairyland and his evolution with Yami, and how he loves this world, kids and the King and that he cares about them. We feel the love that Yugi has for Fairyland.
That's why when he got back to Earthside, I was sure something was going to happen.
And I was sure Fairyland had changed Yugi and I was too happy when my ideas were true. I waited so long for Yugi's return to Fairyland and his transformation (I was sure he was going to become a fairy too), when it happened it was better than I thought, it's one of my Favorite moments, when Yugi runs to see Yami. They are really adorable.

Speaking about Yami, his benevolent personality suits him so well. When he is with Yugi. We feel that Yami has love, kindness, protection for Yugi. And of course, I love in your stories the lemons, I think it is perfectly well written and that it's not just a scene of sex but really love, passion, emotions and feelings. We feel the emotions that Yugi has for Yami and that Yami has for Yugi. We know that they really love each other even when life is complicated.

And of course the best part, I did not expect it. It's the baby, I really did not expect it and it was the most beautiful surprise I had. And the final touch of this wonder story is Frost King.

I can not say how I feel about this story in one word. It is really amazing, awesome, beautiful, incredible, wonderful ...
Your talent for writing is immense. I love long chapters because I feel it never ends but yours are very fluid and pleasant to read. I had a very good time, thank you, thank you so so much !

I just want to say that as a fairy fanatic and long-time researcher of everything fae, I'm super impressed and also incredibly sad this is over. I wanted more. I got so sucked into it and I don't actually like Yugi-oh. I actually found this when looking for anything pertaining to fairy kings as I've been having a recurring dream about one so I was trying to find information. As you have said, they are hard to find, fairy queens being more typical. Also, I'd be totally interested in being an editor/consulter for you if you are going to actually pursue this story again from a non-fanfiction setting. All the best,
Renee
