this was a fun read, thanks for the update! yeah... no one told me that being an adult meant being in a near constant state of exhaustion (mental mostly, but also physical) either. ah the things they dont tell you as a kid...

That last line omfg

I’ve been binge reading your Paved with Good Intentions universe and I just wanted to you to know how much I appreciate your writing! I got into fanficion when I was much younger then took a long hiatus when I thought I was too old for it, and when I got back into it a few years ago I was excited about all the wonderful new stories that awaited me...only to find that there hadn’t been much growth at all in any of my fandoms and I was stuck rereading old favorites. Well I came across your stories on tumblr just a couple weeks ago and it has been such a delight to find an author’s profile filled with long, well written stories from one of my first ever fandoms. Thank you. Thank you so much, coming across your stories was literally like opening a treasure chest I’ve been searching for all this time. You have provided a source of stress relief and relaxation for this sad adult and I can’t thank you enough, thank you thank you thank you.

Damn you! You just had to cut onions and get me tearing up.

I just love those letters left for the Kaiba bros, they got me tearing up and it doesn't help that I'm listening to Fields of Gold, Celtic Woman's version, as I read this.

I'm enjoying this story a lot! I'm excited to see where this arc goes and also excited for more snapshots. if you're still interested in reader submitted requests for this story, one scene from the main GI that I'd like to know more about is as Joey is finishing up telling Tea about the von Schroeder incident he says something about things really falling apart once mokuba was sedated and in his own room. that's where mokuba cuts him off however and we never hear what all that was about. Another was when Joey runs out on Serenity bc he doesn't want to tell her what things were like for him as a kid. but I'm biased in favor of anything joey and I know that's not your focus for this set of stories.

*incoherent screaming*

Every time you pull me back into this fandom
Every time
Pls take responsibility

I was afraid Kaiba was going to be drawn into a duel; it was a pleasant surprise to see him and Mokuba pull out the guns to deal with the matter:).

...A discworld reference... You are so cool!

In its simplest form this story has always seemed like a character study to me. However calling out anything in it's simplest form is ignoring everything else that makes something popular. Something that works. And I adore your writing! And hell it definitely works!

Ofcourse it helps that your little 'character study' is so interesting.

Thank you for this update! I can't wait for more!

Another big twist, they are really working it. The boys seem to have it under control, though.

That pretty much sums up Gozaburo. He was an awful man and a bully in both universes. I hope they can win against Doma.

I hope they can solve this riddle of who is who and what is real.

I am glad I got a notice that you updated. I am still behind. Looks like the gang is all there now.

HOLY FRICKETY-FRACK THAT IS PERFECT. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

Now I need Sirius and Seto to become friends in my HP and the Swordsmen AU. He's allowed to be friends with both Joey and Seto, right? ... Why am I asking you? It's MY FIC.

So I just found your work and may I say I love your portrayal of seto, much more 3D then in other parts of fandom, and he just makes more sense. I adore this mini arc you have going right now, the differnce between older mokuba and older seto and what that meant for the whole gozaburo dynamic. I'm loving all these different aus from you and what they mean for the characterization. I also have a soft spot for your older mokuba younger seto and seto admitting mokuba would be right about having an ulcer by 30 and the chaos of mini seto Tony stark.
