Weekly Fic Rec, week 4: Blood Is Thicker than Poison Are you a whump fan, like many others on Thousand Roads? Then you should check out Tetra's Blood Is Thicker than Poison, which is a delightfully indulgent whump-fest but has more to it, too. Drake is a troubled street rat, member of the...

Got another instance of the narration suddenly being in present tense here for a sentence ("A kid looks up into the sky") before returning to the past ("He saw a few planes in the sky"). When you've got quoted dialogue or thoughts with a dialogue tag (here "he thought to himself" is a dialogue...

Chapter 2 Interesting Pokéball worldbuilding :eyes: Ohoho, I smell angst :copyka: Enjoy the dramatic irony of the shifting POVs in this story - lots that we know but Marcel doesn't, by now. I just enjoy the portrayal of Porygon here as an actual virtual buddy living within the digital world...

Chapter 1 Wait, how can he see the guy who's perched on his back while he's pinned to the ground face-down? Unsure if I'm picturing this weirdly or what. Really enjoy Ira, this fucked-up torturer, obviously loving his Pokémon, leaping to make sure it's not hurt, determined to get even nastier...

Fire Safety Some lovely scene-setting here. Very interesting chapter (if these interludes count as chapters). I enjoyed the fun characterful interactions of Kurt and his son and the exploration of the tension around Pokémon training here - with people like Jen ultimately coming up with ways to...

Chapter 3 I have now figured out that Emily was just staying in a hotel in Celadon temporarily and does in fact live at the lab - apologies for getting that mixed up last time. I enjoy Cassandra having a book specifically on her partner Pokémon. Awww. It's sweet to think about that - a...

Chapter 15 Nice lampshading :P The section where they tell the head executive what's happened on their journey so far sort of felt like an anime recap episode, going through and explaining the events of the story so far. Generally you don't really need this in a fic, though - recap episodes...

Negrek linked this and I was curious, so here I am a couple of years late - hope you don't mind! Very interesting and creepy concept here about Pokémon caught in balls being wireheaded into maximal bliss but, for purposes of actually controlling their actions, effectively being replaced by an...

Not me realizing I never actually read the latest Salvage chapter somehow [/spoiler]

Back for chapter two! Rotating first person POV is a bold choice! It's challenging to juggle multiple first-person POVs and make them distinct, I think, but it'll be interesting to see how you pull it off. Didn't even make it into space :sadbees: (Legitimately curious about the story behind...

Back again for "Dumb Luck"! Love this kid excitement about the kind of freedom where you can be up at five AM. Kids! Bwahaha. Love the dry humour you get in the narration sometimes. Amazing energy to just hand the kid a dog who bites and go "Good luck!" It's funny; this fic is from 2017...

Back for chapter two, finally! Once again, what kids. (They must be stopped.) I like this very understated and literal description - efficiently conveys that he's been crying without actually having the narration get into interpreting it for us, which I think reinforces the POV of kids who...

Hello and welcome to the forums! I read all fourteen chapters, since I saw in the Discord you were requesting people read all of them before reviewing (though you may get fewer readers that way - reading that many chapters at once is a bit of a daunting prospect!). To start with, if you haven't...
