    Threadmarks: Chapter 45

    Here it is, the final chapter! Chapter 45 Gentle waves lapped Maressa’s feet. The sun highlighted the white scars etched into her skin. Digging her toes into the sand, she buried her feet, hiding the scars—but they stretched up her legs, onto her knees, disappearing under her clothes and...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 44

    Hi everyone! Here it is: the penultimate chapter! I'm so happy I got to make a detailed description of a deep-sea seascape; I imagine I might not get the reason to do it in fic again. This chapter was heavily inspired by the Starset song Diving Bell (not least of all because it features a diving...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 43

    Hi everyone! Here is the next chapter. I admit that it's one of the cheesier ones. If I had more time, I'd probably do large reworkings around it so that it's not so cliched, but for the sake of completing this fic and getting it out, I'm leaving it as it is with the minor revisions done since...

    And here's chapter 38! Chapter 39 needs some rewriting before it's ready for posting, but I'll try to get it done for next week. Enjoy! Chapter 38 Sunlight sparkled as it passed through the sea surface, illuminating the blue seascape. Spires of algae-covered rock pointed upwards, forming...

    Hi all! Here's the next chapter. It's also quite a short one. Enjoy! Chapter 35 The crystal waters of Sootopolis lay stretched out below Steven. The surface was deceptively calm. He held the ancient slab in his hands, his heart racing. Several members of the Pokemon League stood around him...

    As promised, here's Chapter 33! I still need to do some proofing and editing on Chapter 34, but it should be ready by next Friday. Chapter 33 Trees and scrub brush were no more than green blurs beneath them as the helicopter flew over the craggy land. Standing by the control panel near the...

    Hi all, here's this week's chapter! I hope you enjoy. Chapter 32 Derek met Maressa again later that evening. He hadn’t seen her parents—he wasn’t sure he wanted to, and Maressa made it sound like a bad idea. “It’s non-stop interrogation,” she told him as she wolfed down some spaghetti. “...

    Heya, here's the next chapter! Enjoy! Chapter 31 Beep. Maressa wearily lifted her eyelids. Bright lights hung from a white ceiling. Panic suddenly overwhelmed her—she jerked her head around. She lay in a white bed with an IV tube connected to her arm. Several other lines ran from her body...

    Hi all, here's chapter 30! Fun fact: it's the shortest chapter in the fic! I hope you enjoy. Chapter 30 Derek took in a deep, shaky breath. The waves of the ocean raced up the sandy shore. To his right, the sand gave way to rocky jetties and cliffs. The waters raged as they dashed against...

    Hi everyone! I am slowly recovering from the typhoon (I have power, but water is temporary and only lasts a few hours before it sputters and dies). In the meanwhile, here is chapter 27! I hope you enjoy. Chapter 27 Waves calmly lapped the small stone outcrop. The sky grew dim as night...
