After all these years I finally solved the meaning of Kaiba's last line in Dsod. Watch now for answers on his line

[An die Freude]

Summary: An incident from Isis' childhood comes back to her in an unexpected way. Word count: 12,000 | Rating: T

“Do you know what I wanted at fourteen?” Isis returned the smile, with an unsettled sigh, oddly relieved. Here was the balance of pain: he’d rather talk about this than that. “Tell me.” “I spent a lot of time thinking about beating my stepfather to death with his nine iron.” “A nine iron?” “A golf club. The heaviest one, with the greatest slope. For hitting the ball with maximum loft.” Isis considered that cynical, canny little smile. “You wanted him to die.” “He’s the subject. I wanted to be the agent. I wanted to do it. However: that old bastard beat me to it. Or, to put it in your terms, destiny got to him before I did.” A thousand possible replies flared through her mind. Do you really want to live with your father’s blood on your hands? Don’t we want to be better than them? Malik did what you wanted and it almost destroyed us. It was not your destiny to kill him. It was your destiny to survive him. “That’s what you wanted,” she said. “But it’s not what you needed.”

A/N: (AGED UP) trustshipping, but it's really about isis and her childhood and post-canon struggles and kaiba is just there to be annoying <3 rishid and malik are also here. read for romance and fluff and ancient egyptian mythology and my love for berlin, one of my favorite cities i've ever visited. enjoy, kind comments and kudos are always welcome!

a list of Kaiba fic recs, in honor of his birthday

I thought I'd have a fic ready for the 25th, but alas, it was not to be. So instead, I pulled together a fic rec list of some of my favorites I've read in the last few months, sorted by ship. I'm sure there's plenty more that I haven't been able to find the links to.

Happy reading! This got way too long so I put the list under the cut.
