How far is everyone willing to go..?

Author’s notes: Everybody is around 20-23 of age. Malik’s dark side is referred to as Marik for the flow of the story. Gratuitous use of artistic license and a whole lot of made up crap. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Extra author’s notes: this is an old WIP that I dusted off as to help me to get back into writing again. Ever since my mother’s passing I haven’t felt the motivation or inspiration to write, but I’m slowly trying to pick up where I left off. I’m sure it’ll show in the quality of writing, for which I apologize. I do my best.

( Tore, part 1 )

My mother passed away on January 1, 2018 after a short but very intense illness. Safe to say, her death has left me in shambles, as she meant the world to me. And even though I can sort of accept her passing, as death is a part of life, I can't come to terms with the bizarre and fast illness she developed and passing away in just three months after the original diagnosis. My mother was a strong, independent, tall woman and within those couple of months she was reduced to a dependent, shriveled, small patient. I'm grateful that she was spared any further suffering, but it doesn't make the sadness and grief any less.

I had sort of expected to fully throw myself into writing and/or drawing, as that helped me before in times of great stress and crisis, but for now, no inspiration is coming to me. More so, it was only this week that I finally started to feel a bit more energy; I usually come home after work feeling exhausted, after eight hours of playing the perfect, kind and supportive and polite colleague. It helps a little that the sun is finally showing and summer is just a little bit away. I'm not sure when inspiration will pick up again. I don't feel well and certainly not in the mood to write, weirdly enough. Right now I'm focused on getting myself back, on dealing with this great loss, of... rearranging my life. You can't imagine what it feels like when someone who took up so much of your heart and soul (in the most positive way possible), is gone. It feels like an amputation, yes, it feels like your heart's been ripped out. And the worst part is, dealing with the aftermath; ending all of her subscriptions, cancelling her bank accounts etc., etc, all confirming "she is gone, she is dead, she is never going to be back". It's horrible.

So that's how it is. I'm sure I'll return to writing, perhaps sooner than I might think. I have a very demanding temporary job right now, that also eats up a lot of time, energy and effort. I've been neglecting my own self-care and medication and exercise, and it's a hell of a daunting task to get back into the 'normal' swing of things. Of life. It's not that easy, in fact, it's extremely difficult. I'll get there, and then I'll be also back with new chapters and new stories.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title: Khenet (part 5 in the Colors of Heaven & Hell series)
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters
Characters: Mutou Yuugi & Yami no Yuugi/Atemu
Prompt: # 13, Yellow
Word count: 9.460
Rating: PG
Warnings: shounen ai
Summary: After the events at the National Museum, Yuugi’s thrown into a desperate search for Yami, taking every step necessary to find him. The only person with answers is Ishizu, but she has disappeared as well… with no other option but to travel to Egypt himself, Yuugi gets help from Kaiba, hiding his own motives in plain sight...
Author’s note: This is the fifth installment in a series of fics following the prompts of the Fanfic100 challenge @ LiveJournal, containing a color (red, orange, yellow, green etc...). The colors will be named in either Japanese or Ancient Egyptian (I’m not a native speaker, but I thought it fit the theme). ‘Iwen’ is Ancient Egyptian for ‘colors’. The entire series will contain fluff, drama, angst, some emo, waff, lots of friendship, strong!independent!Yuugi and dark!asshole!Yami (he’ll get better, sort of). Almost everything about the Duel Monsters game in this fic is made up by yours truly. I’m too old to learn the proper rules of the game, so I invoke my artistic license. Made-up first name for Yuugi’s mother: Sumiko. Please read in the designated sequence, starting with part 0 (Colorless). Feedback is, as always, greatly appreciated.
