Fanfic / Her Shadowed Realm

Go To

Her Shadowed Realm is a part of Project Dark Jade and a crossover with Yu-Gi-Oh!. A different take on the theme, it is set long after Jade's fall to darkness and banishment to the Shadow Realm. Now calling herself Yù, she reaches out into another universe in the hope of freeing herself, by cutting a deal with a certain millionaire reviving an ancient Egyptian game...


This series contains examples of:

  • Alternate Universe: The Yu-Gi-Oh world is one to the JCA world.
  • And I Must Scream: Yù (the name the Shadowkhan Jade chose for herself) only avoided being driven to insanity from the isolation of her banishment by meditating.
  • Complete Immortality: The Jade that went dark (Yù) stole the Dog and Horse Talismans from Section 13, granting her this (though she temporarily removed the Dog so she would age up a bit).
  • I Just Want to Be Special: Jade's fall to the dark side boiled down to resisting everybody's attempts to ensure she had a normal life.
  • I Know Your True Name: This is why Yù, "The Jade Empress", refers to herself thusly, since birth names hold power with sorcerers.
  • No-Sell: One of the priests tries to use shadow magic against her via the Millennium Eye, but she stopped it effortlessly. Needless to say, she was not amused.
  • Older Than They Look: Yù is about 16 biologically, due to removing the agelessness of the Dog Talisman temporarily so she'd age up a bit, but she's been in the Shadow Realm for thousands of years (assuming time passes the same way between the Shadow Realm and the Yu-Gi-Oh world), even encountering Egyptian priests from the early days of the Shadow Games at one point.
  • Sealed Evil in Another World: Yù had a Face–Heel Turn and got sealed in the Shadow Realm, and is currently planning to escape.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Yù has Complete Immortality, the power of the Mask of Tarakudo, the secrets of the Lotus Temple, and the knowledge of both Daolon Wong and all the Demon Sorcerers! Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's taken more than a few levels.
