Skin (fanfic): Difference between revisions

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: It's part of a 'personal promise' on the author's part, but Dinosaur Ryuzaki and Insector Haga gained such an increase in role that ''she had to give them first names'' lest things get awkward.

** And if the spoiler-art for {{spoiler|Capmon}} is any sign, they're about to get an even larger increase.

** Peachshipping applies as well, among others. It's also responsible for naming 'Secretshipping' ( {{spoiler|Ryuzaki x Shizuka}}).

* [[Feel No Pain]]: In a crowning moment of crazy awesome from Kaiba, the woman ''sets her own arm on fire'' to free herself from a virtual prison in the Legendary Heroes. Her logic in doing this? The flames vanish once the battle finishes; all she had to do was kill the monster who took her hostage and the flames died out… {{spoiler|Leaving a burned arm behind.}}

** Also the absolutely ridiculous measures that Otogi Jonouchi and Honda followed with to stalk Yugi and Anzu on their date… {{spoiler|Right before Jonouchi witnesses literal mind rape, learns of a village exterminating massacre, and then}} {{spoiler|''[[Up to Eleven|dreams]]''}} {{spoiler|[[Up to Eleven|it.]]}}

** {{spoiler|Dinosaur Ryuzaki}} discussing the absurdity of the Millennium Rod's power… {{spoiler|Right before receiving one of the darkest beatdowns in the fanfic from it.}}

* [[Never Trust a Title]]: The only reason why it's called 'Skin' is because the story's beta-reader had become so used to its Beta Name that it was too difficult to bother changing. To add insult to injury, the furthest the story will apparently get in terms of romance is [[WAFF|fluff]]; it's quite likely that aside from the fourth chapter, there won't be any more skin seen.

** Even better- The reason why Kaiba wanted Jonouchi to get her briefcase was ''because'' it had pads inside.

* [[Not So Stoic]]: There are a number of times ''hinting'' at this concerning Kaiba, such as her reaction to the christmas present from Jonouchi, the ''entire'' Valentines day arc… But the most blatant one is right in her soul, when she finally snaps from being unable to speak to the others while literally piecing her mind and soul back together.

* [[Shown Their Work]]: The author's notes are full of these, to the point where they take up a ''quarter'' of the already lengthy chapter.

** Humorously subverted when a little known character trait Jonouchi has was recognised by a reader; after being congratulated on putting in the fact, the author embarrassingly admited that she had completely forgotten about the canon involved and given the trait to Jonouchi because '[[Sure Why Not|It suited him]]'.

* [[Staring Down Cthulhu]]: Done with Jonouchi in regards to the [[Eldritch Abomination|'Evil Influence' of the Millennium Eye]], and ''again'' when {{spoiler|Yugi, who just finished getting slammed into his own head by Pegasus' shadow game, wakes up to find the same 'Eye' hovering in front of he and his friends.}} This of course leads to...

*** It's even implied that he knows how he whittled the Eye down to that point, as he does the same thing without even blinking upon a second encounter.

** Of course, in Yugi's case it becomes {{spoiler|{{[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]{{ when he destroys the beast by ''commanding it to leave his head''.}}
