When she woke up the next morning the hangover was definitely ruling over her. The dizziness and dryness in the mouth were enough to pin her down to bed with a single groan, but forcing herself to open eyes she quickly realized that this was definitely not her apartment. But the similarity in the accommodation plan was unmistakable. She was in Jason’s flat.

So like. The rooftop battle between Yugi and Kaiba vs Lumis and Umbra in the Battle City arc. You ever think about how annoying that battle would be? And I don't mean the looming threat of plummeting to your death/eternity in the shadow realm. Like, think about it.

You're on top of a 50 story building standing on a glass sunroof in the middle of the day. Direct sunlight over head. Trying to play a goddam card game.

The glare! The absolute glare that would constantly reflect beneath you up into your eyes the ENTIRE time you're trying to look at your cards and strategize. The blinding light! And the HEAT! The sun bouncing off the glass would be cooking you! I would be in a blind, frustrated rage, sweating my ass off and trying to win a team-duel.

Kudos to everyone involved, I'd've gone into that duel knowing I'd lose. Or at least be a bitch the entire duel.

Maybe that was Kaiba's excuse for being his usual sunny self in this duel. 😂 Bro's got a black turtleneck sweater and a trenchcoat in 120 degree heat, trying teamwork for the first time in his life. 🤣

You are where you are today because you stand on somebody’s shoulders. And wherever you are heading, you cannot get there by yourself. If you stand on the shoulders of others, you have a reciprocal responsibility to live your life so that others may stand on your shoulders. It’s the quid pro quo of life. We exist temporarily through what we take, but we live forever through what we give.

“you’re supposed to be dead.”

you sigh. “why is that always the first thing people say? if it was the other way around, i would’ve asked about the beard.”

“no, you’re not real.” a pause. then, a quiet whisper, “you never are.”

“i’m real.”

“you always say that.”

gently, you take the side of his face in your hand. he exhales, lightly leaning into your touch. like he was scared you would disappear if he applied any real pressure.

he is scared, you realize. because it's happened over and over again.

“well, i haven’t faded away into oblivion this time, have i?” you ask, watching his face go stiff.

silence. teardrops down his cheek. his gloved hand coming to clutch your own, latching onto your wrist.

disbelief. sorrow. relief. hope.

“you’re real.”

a smile.

Just sos you knows, AO3 is down under a DDOS attack right now. They’ve been coming back in little blips and then disappearing again. It’s been several hours. (For reference, it’s currently 3 p.m. eastern, July 10, 2023.)

The culprit (as with a few other DDOS attacks recently) is Anonymous Sudan, a group that is likely Russian, not Sudanese. The ‘reason’ they gave–that AO3 is “full of disgusting smuts and other LGBTQ+ and NSFW things,” is thin and probably not completely legit, though still legitimately concerning.

Reporting on AS: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-06-28/anonymous-sudan-does-group-behind-microsoft-cyberattack-have-ties-to-russia (you can use archive.ph to get this one, 12ft doesn’t seem to work)

DDOS protection is expensive especially for a high traffic site like ao3. And it’s uniquely vulnerable as an independent site without ads or other corporate support. SPECIFICALLY targeted bc of its queer works and yet ppl will still complain every time they ask for donations lmao 

So, again, when AO3 comes back online, please don’t go hard with refreshing all your tabs. Please do remember to download fics you love early and often as  you continue in your whole ~reading journey~. And please do support AO3 through a dono or becoming a donating member, if it is possible for you to do so.
