OVER AND OUT
A gnarled gob of sludge lurched in the water.
Harrah stared, ignoring the stray droplet that splattered onto her face. It rolled halfway down her acrylic body and sizzled away. The porygon’s heal ball could still handle a little poison—thankfully so, because this just wasn’t a...
“Want to charm that pretty lass down the street? Or make a statement at the latest social? Come and take a gander at these crystals!”
An assortment of quartz, opals, amethysts, and more sparkled in a glittering rainbow beneath a dull, grey sky. Alistair waved his cane over his wares while the...
As per the current Saturnalia and Estival Solstice celebrations, I'm legally authorized to cross-post this story ft.: two of your favourite characters!

The normal routine of the bushland and the meadows was interrupted by a threat of a nature surprising to its inhabitants...
Hello everyone. Presenting here Auld Foundations, a fic I actually wrote recently instead of having it in the drafting stage and revisionism hell for six months. Furthermore, this is a story about a good doggo, and how we can protect her job. Enjoy!

Author's note: This is a one-shot that I originally wrote in 2009 (well, I'd written an older draft of one scene of it before that that I only ever posted on one forum), which I've been fiddling with on and off of late. If you've read the old...
BAD EGG
It’s happening on another plane of existence—at once infinitely distant from and yet deeply linked to your own—so you couldn’t possibly know that somewhere, a young boy is pushing an Action Replay into his Nintendo DS, inserting his copy of Pokémon Diamond, and reviving your world from...

“Why did you leave me?”
Again it was dusk. Again it was time for every visible thing to disintegrate. An impulse driven by panic, Alianna swallowed—as if her words needed to escape back into her throat to hide. Perhaps the night would spare her if she remained still.

Delivery Deferred
This oneshot was originally written in 2018, and was the first piece of writing to ever feature Brisa Escarpa. It has since been revised to better reflect lore and characterisation developed in the Blacklight Eternal rp campaign of 2020/21, and I'm very proud of it.

Putting up another old one-shot. This was a gift fic for @slamdunkrai written in December 2019. Again, if anyone actually decides to look at this for the blitz, know that I don't consider it representative of my current writing abilities. Enjoy!

This is an old one-shot that was written in late 2017 for a contest on Serebii focusing on platonic relationships. If you're reading this for the blitz, please know that I don't consider this representative of my current writing abilities. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy!

This is a little one-shot I wrote a while back but never posted over here. It's a slice of life focusing on a woman and her monstrous roommates and how they all try to cope with a big change in their lives--not the kind of thing I often publish! I hope you enjoy.

Summary...
Author's note: Hello, all! This story was originally written in 2012, then revised fairly significantly in 2020 and posted here. I got some good feedback on that one, and have been working on more extensive revisions on and off since. This, finally, is version three.
I would still appreciate...
Hey everyone, am here bringing one of the newest stories I have written Elsewhere. This time featuring best pseudo, Dragonite Goodra Tyranitar Salamence!.
This was originally written for PokéCommunity as a contest entry under the prompt "contentment / frustration”. I kinda sorta picked...
It is Mewtwo. It is strong. It is stronger.
Stronger
Mewtwo leaps into the air with a surge of energy that thrums and sings around it, power rolling off its body in waves like it's never been allowed to feel before. The smoldering wreckage falls away beneath it and it never looks back...
Without a Master
Team Rocket Grunt Tetsuya has hit rock bottom, but for the first time in his life, he has something to lose. When he reconnects with an old friend, the perfect opportunity presents itself: to catch and traffic a legendary pokémon, hopefully allowing him to break from Rocket...

The old...
You are a leafeon. The warm spring breeze trickles over your cream-colored fur and tickles your tall leafy ears. You push your oak brown paws into the cool dirt below as you try to find a comfortable place to lie down. Tufts of grass cushion you as you finally find the perfect spot. The familiar...
Dark-Clothed Small Human:
I am trapped. Alone.
My siblings are gone. They were put into ice. We did not do what they wanted us to, so now they want to freeze us. I am the last one they need to freeze. Once the machine is ready, I will be frozen… indefinitely.
Indefinitely is an odd word. I...
Again, it taunts you.
The shimmering pool that first led you into that world of only Pokemon. That entryway that had led you to an adventure of a lifetime. The portal that led you to meet Vernir, Emolga, Dunsparce, Virizion, Umbreon, Espeon, Hydreigon, and so many others that you held dear to...
