I am weak

I'm confessing here so certain people can holler at me, as I well know you will, though I swear it's not my fault, I didn't want to do it, I can't help that Kaiba is such a compelling SOB.

...which is to say, yeah. I wrote Yu-Gi-Oh fic. Moreover, I didn't even write good YGO fic. No, instead I had to retell the same damn flashback story I'm sure has been done a thousand times before on ff.net. Only with overextended metaphors and in second person, just to be contrary. And while I drew a little on the anime filler, most of it is based on what we've thus far seen of Kaiba's backstory in the manga. So it was essentially inspired by all of three pages of manga.

What can I say. They're a really interesting three pages.

Deconstruction

Now, leave me to my shame. And my incredibly cute if stupid filler arc.

Oh hush, I used to like Kaiba/Yami-Yuugi. ^__^ ...stop looking at me funny.

If I may: Oh gaaaaaawd.

I love overblown metaphors. And I love tiny!Kaibas (even the mere thought of tiny!Kaibas) And I must say the ending destroyed me.... although how much of that has to do with me always squeeing over Seto putting himself back together is questionable.

.......they really really are a great three pages. Aren't they?

(and man, now I'm thinking that I have to try and finish at least one of the multiple things about Kaiba that I have tried to write but never seem to be able to follow through on. God knows I can write crackheaded AUs, and reams of stuff involving Yugi being an angsty little bitch. But I try to write about the original Angst in the Shape of a Man and I fall short.)

Hewwo..

Hi, I hope it's okay that I made a podfic of this. Which is here: http://amplificathon.livejournal.com/962164.html

I love second person stories and couldn't help myself. And Kaiba is always fun.
