C'est LaVie is the most recent in [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4655125/1/Best_of_Times_Worst_of_Times a]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5147206/1/The_New_Morning series]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5448287/1/Comme_Les_Fleurs_Du_Mal of]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5498716/1/Ryo_no_TELLTALE_HEART Crossover]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5689008/1/Cest_LaVie fanfics]] between the two spinoffs of YuGiOh, [[YuGiOhGX GX]] and [[YuGiOh5Ds 5D's]], whose names are all literary or musical refences.

The plot is a slightly different take on the plots of 5D's Story Arcs, tailored to a theme more to the author, Genma no Ou's (and by association, he assumes, his fans') liking. It overlaps events and characters from GX in order to add an extra layer of complexity to the story; and given that it is much like any other fic about [[SeriousBusiness overly dramatic children's card games]], it attempst to entertain by adding new situations while trying to keep everyone in character.
