After defeating Zorac and ending the Shadow Games forever, Atem is faced with a choice: return to the afterlife and face the failures of his first life, or stay in the comfort of the present day with his friends and dearest partner. The choice seems easy at first, and only seems to get easier as the years go on. But the past soon begins to catch up with him - in the form of a suspiciously familiar young woman - and suddenly a revelation threatens to rock his peaceful existence to its very core. [Takes place five years post-canon. A look at what might have happened if Atem decided to stay in the present day instead of returning to the afterlife. Beware: contains rather large canon divergences, including a strong tie-in with my previously published fic, "Ascension," which features Atem's wife and my OC, Satiah. The focus of this fic is less on Satiah and more on Atem and his relationship with Yugi. All that to say, this fic may still read fine without previous knowledge of Ascension, but I definitely recommend checking it out anyway ;)]

After Zero Reverse separated Neo Domino City and Satellite, a lot of people died and children left orphans who were taken care of by Martha. Crow, Jack, and Yusei soon accepted a new girl that was brought in who loved keeping flowers in her hair, so they named her Hanako (Flower Child). She was a happy child, always seeing beauty in everything and playing around with boys but she had one more passion: mechanics. Instead of toys, she'd play with hammers, screws and other tools, which sometimes made Martha worry she would get hurt. When they grew up, Jack left Satellite, Yusei met new friends, and Hanako moved under the Daedalus Bridge with Crow and promised to herself that she will take care for children and make their childhood the best she can just to show them that living in Satellite isn't that bad. One day, her life changes when she decides to reunite with her old friends from the orphanage...

A fanfic for the Yugioh 5D's character, Yusei Fudo. (Y/N) is a girl who just turned 18 and discovered that her parents held a terrible secret. Deciding to leave her past behind, (Y/N) goes in search of her childhood friends from Team Satisfaction and Team 5D's. During her search, she learns that Kalin has joined the Dark Signers, and is filled with rage and insanity. Will she find the rest of the group? Whose side will she choose? And who will she give her heart to? NOTE: Yes, (Y/N) is immature. This isn't like she just instantly grew up. I do NOT own the characters - credit goes to Kazuki Takahashi, and any reference to dueling goes to Konami. Rankings: #405 in yugiohfanfic, #1 yugioh, #350 in fanfic, #15 in Yusei, #920 in animefanfiction, and #991 animexreader.

A rebellious uprising. An arranged marriage. A rising threat against Egypt. How will the youngest son of Pharaoh Aknamkanon cope with them all? #1 in AtemxOC - August 2020 #1 in Atem - August 2020 [My take on the leadup to the Dawn of the Duel arc, weaving some of the Pharaoh's memories with brand new scenarios and events. Canon expansion/worldbuilding. Ensemble cast with TONS of OCs. Suspense, romance, and no end to the drama!]
