My Dark King is a Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds Alternate Universe Fic. It leads off from the halfway point of Jack's duel with Carly as a Dark Signer with one very simple question: "What if Jack had lost that duel, died, and fulfilled Carly's vision, becoming a Dark Signer?"From that one change, events proceed drastically differently, mostly in ways that aren't very good. Yusei winds up not being around to help Aki in her duel with Misty and instead gets severely injured by a load of falling debris, Crow nearly gets his face beaten in by a Brainwashed and Crazy Aki, and then the King of the Underworld gets involved and everything just starts going straight to Hell. Literally! Suffice it to say, this is one fic that takes the already Darker and Edgier plot of the Dark Signer arc and ramps it straight up to eleven.The story is currently being written by Masterdramon, and is 19 chapters in. It can be read here. The story's greatest strengths are its familiarity with and respect towards the entirety of the Yu-Gi-Oh! canon, its expert ability to flesh out and develop minor characters, and juggling a lot of viewpoints at once, not to mention just being really damn well-written. The author is a lover of this site and a self-professed believer that TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life , even going so far as to write a one-shot in gratitude to the troper, Lale, who wrote the first recommendation for it.It's worth noting that the author has also written three one-shots that fit neatly into the same "universe": The Devil and the Star, a story about Takuma Saiou from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX founding the Arcadia Movement and how it was taken from him by Divine; Second Sun, a story elaborating on Rex Goodwin's past; and Heroes of Justice, a story about a young Sherry Leblanc meeting Edo Phoenix. The former two work perfectly well as standalones, not having to read "My Dark King" to really get them and not having to read them to get the main story, but "Heroes of Justice" at least pretty much requires having read "The Devil and the Star" first.More recently, he's also added an ongoing miniseries running alongside the main story: I Am Become Death, a series of short drabbles featuring each of the original seven Dark Signers. | |

| My Dark King (Fanfic) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: EVERY one of the Signers suffers this after they learn of Jack becoming a Dark Signer, Yusei far and away getting it the worst. A lot of their screentime in the following chapters up until now has just been them dealing with the emotional fallout of the events thus far. | |

I mean, we're messengers from God who don't require human speech to communicate, with pseudonyms borrowed from Spanish and Italian singers, pretending to be French and teaching English...all so we can lure in a guy who speaks Japanese? This shit is so convoluted that it's beginning to sound like the plot of some fucking Shounen anime." | |

Awesome, but Impractical: The card "Sleeping Giant: Zushin." because this fic takes place prior to the second half of 5D's, there has yet to be a single summoning of the monster in an official duel. But since it had such a low chance of happening, of course it happens. | |

Arch-Enemy | |
| My Dark King (Fanfic) / int_32da548d | comment |
Carly becomes this to Aki. Both of their lives become completely changed by Misty, Carly declares Aki to be her Arch-Enemy for killing Misty, both are women with poor self-esteem until their Superpowered Evil Side arises, both have feelings for The Leader of their team and both are more powerful non-Dueling fighters than their Love Interest. They're also Foils as well. Carly is in an official relationship with Jack as his Dark Queen, while Aki doesn't confess her feelings to Yusei because she thinks he's out of her league. | |

Serial Killer | |
| My Dark King (Fanfic) / int_7301ae04 | comment |
The biggest case is Player Killer of Darkness to Ushio. Both have been around since the original series and were petty bullies Yami Yugi judged with Penalty Games, and suffered through them for thirty years. But Ushio accepted his punishment, adapted, turned his life around and went from bully to cop, and is then judged worthy of becoming a Signer and manages to forgive himself, ending his Penalty Game. In contrast, PK has become even worse, going from bully to homeless Serial Killer who only becomes functional after selling his soul to the Dark Signers, while still suffering from his Penalty Game because he refuses to admit he's done wrong. They're complete opposites. | |

| My Dark King (Fanfic) / int_79a60aec | comment |
For Want of a Nail: The entire story is caused by Carly's glasses not falling out of Jack's coat. It's later revealed that this was caused by Clark screwing around with time travel and making his shirt tighter to his chest so he wouldn't have to deal with the minor inconvenience of his own glasses falling out of his shirt when he put them there. However, it's later revealed that this was intentionally done by the Man in White (Also known as the Light of Ruin), who planted the idea into Clark's head specifically to cause the story thanks to Yusei's canon defeat of Z-one screwing up his plan to destroy the universe. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
| My Dark King (Fanfic) / int_8774fb47 | comment |
Chapter 15 takes it a step even further, positing that the King is in fact a member of an entire species of Eldritch Abominations, which also includes the already-deceased Zorc Necrophades, Leviathan, and Darkness from the previous two series. | |

Made of Iron: Partially averted. Yusei, Crow and Ushio in particular can take a lickin' and keep on kickin', but especially in Yusei's case, it catches up with them the second the adrenaline stops flowing. But the Crimson Dragon is more than happy to provide some Healing Factor on occasion anyway. | |

While Yusei truly understands and cherishes platonic friendship and bonds he utterly fails to understand Jack and Carly's Mad Love and Aki's desire for unconditional affection leading to him failing to get through to Jack and almost failing to stop Aki's suicide. | |

| My Dark King (Fanfic) / int_b1619b3c | comment |
Omnicidal Maniac: The King of the Underworld only exists to feed on mortal souls, so this is a given. Wiraqocha Rasca's plan to release the other Earthbound Gods doesn't quite cross the line, but the end result still screws everyone over given what they're capable of. The Light of Destruction freely admits to desiring the end of all things, being an Anthromorphic Personification of nothingness. | |

Cast Full of Gay: A milder case than some, but the story does have a heck of a lot of characters who are confirmed as gay or bi (Team Unicorn, Leo, Dr. Schmitt, Judai, Sherry, Edo, and Saiou) or have a heck of a lot of subtext associated with them (Demak, Bolger). Oddly enough, the members of Team Satisfaction seem to have been largely exempt. | |

Shown Their Work: In a funny example, Jack notes that Goodwin is just using attack names when his monsters are forced to battle each other for the chance to flaunt his knowledge of Incan Mythology. The author also probably counts not just for the mythological references, but the references to quite old parts of canon and tying them into the 5D's world. The first appearance of Asiru Amaru is overloaded with references to various myths. | |
