Description ...Yes I know this isn't the next meme request picture. Sorry about that. While working on the request (which is a different picture from this one and currently in progress), that being Thief King Bakura, I was seized with a couple ideas. One currently ongoing and will delay the picture being done, but if I'm successful it'll be a very fun bonus. Either way it's going to get finished as a sketch.

The other idea was inspiration to draw more fan art for Aurora. I dearly love the stories and I write, but I desperately need to draw more art for them. I suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder at times and it makes it very frustrating to say the least when I picture a scene in my head only to have it look nothing like what I just slapped together on paper. Of course that's a whole other rant that shouldn't be part of this picture.

So anyway this picture (as if you couldn't guess) is of Malik and Bakura as young teenagers in Ancient Egypt standing rather close and in a snuggly way. Yes, they do look a lot like the sprite versions I drew of them in Coot-style. [link] [link] The fact that I did them in sort of an MD style definitely heightens the resemblance.

Yes, I took the time to shade this, and no I didn't forget to shade Bakura (or add his scar). There's a reason why his skin isn't tan, but I'm afraid you'll just have to read Aurora to find out the answer. Conveniently I've got the links to the R and NC-17 rated versions right here!

Be warned, this story involves violence, disturbing imagery, mature situations, homosexual male/male love (AKA yaoi/shonen ai), character development, and some spoilers for the series. You probably know that already though by now considering how much I pimp this story out.

...Yes there will be an update sometime in the near future. I just need my darn computer back first. Sorry to those still waiting.

You wrote Aurora?

...I liked it better
when it was non-conish seeming.

Sorry if that spoiled your enjoyment of our story, but and have issues with rape. If the rapist isn't going to be punished severely for it, we just don't want it in our stories. If we threw in a rapist they probably would've been castrated, and don't you think Bakura's been through enough in that time period?

You must hate fandom,
then, sinec the majority of it -the good stuff,
anyway, the rest is shit, as you know-
is rape or NCS.

I can't stand fluff or anything along
those lines.
It just seems so flat and unrealistic.
D: (
Not that I didn't enjoy your fic for what I read.
)xD

I hate rape, but fandom's impossible to hate if you think of it. I mean everyone's a fan of something, right? You're a fan of rape and ~NeonMouko and I are a fans of love with consent, yet we all enjoy Yu-Gi-Oh. We're fans and thus part of fandom, and it'd be pretty masochistic of me to hate myself, wouldn't it?

I'm glad you liked our fic despite it being not your cup of tea. I know the feeling. I rarely read fanfiction anymore because I have a hard time finding something I can thoroughly enjoy. That's why and I write it instead. It's more satisfying that way.

-squints-
That was slightly confusing,
but I think I agree.
...Right?

Kay! Thanks!

I do have a question though...

The epilogue, were Baku and Malik just reading the story too, or what?

yukidragon In reply to HelloIAmParker [2008-04-17 13:28:33 +0000 UTC]

That wasn't an epilogue actually, that's an omake, or in other words a comedic extra. It was originally posted as an April Fools day chapter just before the ending chapter was posted, but was moved to the end of the story so as not to disrupt the flow.

Originally we did make an epilogue about how the past affected Malik in the present, but we (and a couple readers) found it lacking to help explain things or tying past to present well enough so it was removed.

Hm... given how many people seem to be getting the wrong idea because of the omake, perhaps we should remove it from the main story as well and put it up separately.

Don't get me wrong, i loved it....it was just a little confusion. Maybe if you added a note as to what exactly an 'OMAKE' was....

And could i read that chapter? I think it would be great!

Lovely picture! Are you truly the author of Aurora? I have been reading that story for months and months even since last year! I read it over and over again. It is the BEST MalikxBakura fanfic I have ever read!

I usually comment as chibichibimalik2 or something like that. I can't believe the coincidence upon finding you here! I periodically check fanfic.com to see if you've updated the story.

Marvelous job!
<333

Thanks! Yup, and I are the authors of Aurora. We're glad you like it so much. Thank you for your complements!

Ah I remember your comments! Sorry about it taking so long to update the story. It's taking so long this time because of problems IRL that are making things difficult. (It's also why all of my pictures lately have been pencil sketches.) Hopefully the matter will be resolved sometime soon and the next chapter can be posted. If it takes much longer though ~NeonMouko and I will try to take steps to work around it if we can.
