This oneshot was written for a writing prompt event on the PMD Writers United Discord server during December 2023/January 2024. The prompt was: 'Often unsung, the Shopkeeps of the Mystery Dungeon world have some equally interesting stories with their strange items and dangerous locales…'...

Beyond Rescue Poppy makes the world a little safer. This PMD story takes place before Those Who Will Inherit the Earth. No prior knowledge required. Story is like 10 months old, but recent changes have me feeling tentatively better about it. Pen beta read this; if a sentence strikes you as...

Beta read by MadderJacker and DemiurgicPen. Also got some advice from Shadow of Antioch. Pizza with a Slice of Pain Long ago, Mt. Travail was a terrible place indeed. The mystery dungeon's peaks and ridges loomed over their surroundings with a brooding ferocity. But then one day a drowzee...

Hey all! This is a drabble I wrote for a prompt in the Second Anniversary Mini Prompt Bingo. Obviously I didn't finish it in time, but I liked the idea and wanted to finish what I started. The prompt in question was (sort of spoilers) . Surprisingly for me, there are no content warnings to...

Author’s note: Welcome back! Here’s a new one-shot I wrote in between my other projects since I really wanted to revisit Jung’s character from The Inalienable Dreamless. So while this is a sequel of sorts, newcomers can also read this in isolation since it’s a self-contained story. You just...
