I like this concept. The growth you show Seto having is astounding. I really like you have him come to accept what hapened but still move forward and be himself. You are right it is hard to fit in 600 words though. But once you get the premise down it flows really well!!
Thank you so very much! I'm glad you feel it flows well.
I think Seto still doesn't quite accept it, since he says "even if ..." etc. But he's at least to the point where he's forced to acknowledge that it's possible. And you're right, I can't imagine him ever getting stuck in the past/being chained by "destiny," no matter what he finds out about Egypt.
Many good reasons given here for why Seto/Serenity just wouldn't work, but the biggest thing is definitely the way he treats her brother, and she wouldn't accept that one bit.
Seto's matter-of-fact-ness in this is definitely my favorite part. Classic Kaiba.
I think you did pretty well given the word restriction!
Totally. I've always been puzzled as to how people try to make the pairing work with that little problem. I suppose there's some good fics addressing it out there somewhere, because it couldn't possibly work without some form of addressing it.
I love this! I thought it was really original to have them both have a connection to the past or through reincarnation - and then realize that they don't have to act on it, that they can make other choices and be happier in those choices.
I loved Kaiba here - even in his duel with Isis in the manga, he isn't so much rejecting the idea that Isis can see the future as much as the idea that anything in life is fore-ordained. This really reminded me of him saying then that his only destiny was the one he chose. And I really liked the way that helped Shizuka and helped her realize she could have any future she wanted regardless of anything from the past.
Thank you so much! I was thinking about how some Seto/Serenity fans have Serenity as a Kisara reincarnation just to further their desire for a pairing and I thought it would be fun to invert the idea.
Seto's determination to fight against the idea of "destiny" is definitely one of my favorite things about him. I'm glad you liked how I depicted him here!
