Revelation [A Yu-Gi-Oh! Fanfic]

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 ;)]
