[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14193939/1/Branded-by-the-Abyss Branded by the Abyss]] (aka. The Branded of the Abyss) by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/5192538/Brando125 Brandon Bicknell]]
* Recommended by: Androgeos

* Synopsis: This is a 27-chapter novelisation of the [[Metaplot/YuGiOhAbyss Abyss storyline]], which is presented in bits of lore in the official Japan-only ''The Valuable Books EX 1-3''. While the central characters of this novel are Ecclesia and Albaz, it also delves into the goals, motivations, and relationships of several of the other major characters, such as Tri-Brigade leader Shuraig, Dogmatika Knight Fleurdelis, the Springans, Swordsoul Longyuan, and Aluber the Jester, without detracting from the main arc that revolves around the fateful encounter between Ecclesia and Albaz right in the heart of the Dogmatika Nation, which would change the fate of the world forever.

"[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/32978329 The Legend of Zelda: Ten Thousand Year Elegy]]" by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/lysimachias/pseuds/lysimachias Lysimachias]]

* Crossover with: "VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild"

* Notes: Having started back in 2021, the author has since declared that this fic takes place instead of TotK, making it an AU. How exactly is yet to be revealed, but this means that certain TotK elements, like the sky islands and Light Dragon are nowhere to be found. The Author's OC, Éléonore Morin or Eri for short, goes along with the Yu Gang and Kaiba to Hyrule. Being the only one who's played the Zelda games and is a bit of a superfan, she's their primary source of information. That being said, while Eri does play a large part in the story, she is no Mary Sue and is generally punished quite heavily for her assumptions in knowledge and is an absolute delight to read. Knowledge of the Legend of Zelda series isn't required to read this story; all Zelda information is completely explained, and it mostly focuses on Yugi and his friends (and Kaiba). Knowledge of both series certainly enhances it! I really can't recommend it enough! It captures the canon relationships between everyone quite well and develops their characters in interesting ways as they struggle through Hyrule. Also, while Atem is not present, you can almost FEEL the hole he's left behind in the group, even so long after his departure.

* ''Comments'': No Anzu-bashing; all the characterization makes perfect sense in context. Humor is very dry/tongue-in-cheek/sarcastic. A realistic, [[ForWantOfANail Step On The Butterfly AU]] type fic that the author obviously took very seriously. It is completed, and has several follow-ups/spin-offs/sequels posted.

* Comments: Tokiomi summoned Maiden With Eyes of Blue as Archer, Kirei summoned the woman in the Forbidden Spells (Forbidden Chalice, Forbidden Lance, etc) as Lancer, Kariya summoned Dragon Core Hexer as Berserker, Kiritsugu summoned Sky Striker Ace - Roze (with the backstory from ''Manga/YuGiOhOCGStories'') as Rider, Waver summoned Marauding Captain as Saber, Keyneth summoned Metal Reflect Slime as Caster, and Ryuunosuke summoned Number 96: Dark Mist as Assassin. Later, Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous is summoned as Ruler. [[spoiler:The being inhabiting and corrupting the Holy Grail is The Wicked Avatar.]]

* Synopsis: A remake of Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses' second-year special with the [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Abridged Series gang]]. Kaiba leading them all.

* ''Synopsis'': *DEAD* Yugi and company watch ''StarWars: Episode II''! What will happen when they see it? What about after? Am I making sense? Will this fic be sane? Of course not! PG for some.. dialogue. R&R please!
* ''Comments'': Basically, it's the cast of ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' commenting on ''StarWars: Episode II'' ala ''[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]'', but with no real film spoilers or anything. And it has its fair share of running gags, like Tea whapping the boys with her purse when they get too raunchy, and also a sugar-high Yami. It's pretty funny, but sadly [[DeadFic dead]].

* ''Comments'': This isn't just a change-the-names, run-of-the-mill Film Fic. The author seems to be trying to fix the plot errors in Moulin Rouge, while adapting the plot to the Yu-Gi-Oh universe. It focuses more on the political events and the songs than the romance, but there is romance mentioned (it's not soppy, but written in a humorous way). The author has also written his/her own parody songs that further the plot and provide characterization. The characterization seems solid, the dialogue flows well, and some of the other characters get their own subplots and conflicts to deal with, so it isn't all about Joey and Tristan. Any romance mentioned is minimal and not really central to the plot.

* ''Status'': Ongoing(?), last entry September 2022
