Spelling/Grammar only gets a 9 out of 10 for a few random typos... forgotten negatives and things like that (like misspelling my name!), really no big deal, but it's a short enough fic it's not "perfect." Don't worry about it; it's all happy. I've already ranted to you a ton on AIM, and with the character limit I can't say too much here, but this was really fun to read. Both Yami and Yami Bakura were wonderfully in-character, as was everyone else, actually... I couldn't HELP but read Ryou's voice in his British accent, it fit so well. The angst was lovely, the plot yummy, and the song fit in surprisingly well. My own fic's going to be so paltry by comparison, I just know it. The interactions between Yami and Yami Bakura here were so rich, it was amazing. You very deftly built up a whole universe between them, without making it at all strange that their interactions with everyone else were unchanged by it -- that is to say, it seemed plausible (*gasp!*) All in all, very fun, and I had a great time reading this, Sasha! Your stuff's always a pleasure to read -- smart, skilled, and technically accurate while still being light-hearted and witty. There aren't too many people out there that write this well and still don't take themselves too seriously and get big-headed. Gotta love that, really ya do. I'll have to be sure to try to inspire you again sometime!
