    Pokémon Zion's Bingo Drabbles
    Threadmarks: paradise

    “Paradise” The waiting was the hardest part. Keldeo, by his nature, strove to participate in the events of the world around him. It was one of the main reasons he had become a wanderer. To always be the subject, never the object. But in this instance, all he could do was wait for Axew to bring...

    Pokémon Zion's Bingo Drabbles
    Threadmarks: time gear

    "Time Gear" All was calm, all was still. In the aftermath of the storm, the silence seemed louder than the booming thunder and frenzied winds; the lashing fury of the skies replaced by a prickle along the nape of the neck. Beyond the cave where Grovyle had taken shelter, a water droplet was...

    Pokémon Zion's Bingo Drabbles
    Threadmarks: fireflies above the lake

    Drabbles are based on moments from the PMD games. The poetry originally had a much stricter meter, but for the sake of time decided to relax that element and just enjoy myself. "Fireflies above the Lake" [. . . truth, whose mother is history, who is the rival of time, depository of deeds...

    Seventh Anniversary Drabble Bingo

    I’ll give this a try, I’ve been wanting an excuse to write more short form stuff. I’ll just stick to PMD.

    Pokémon The Legacy of Light: Sword

    Sett is a good word. Anyway, I’ve had my eye on this story for a while. Honedge is a pokémon I want to write about, and I’m very interested to see how the pokémon is interpreted by someone else. There’s a long tradition in fantasy regarding swords, with Arthurian legend being the most obvious...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Reflections in Amaranthine Steel
    Threadmarks: Chapter Two

    The rabbit poked cautiously through the thick, illuminated prairie grass. He was much smaller than a pokémon like bunnelby, fur bluish-black in color and nose quivering as he scented the air. He had been driven from his burrow near the river by a great cacophony of hooves and bright-heat light...

    Pokémon (PMD) Between the Mountains and the Sea

    Hello, Hello! Took a bit longer to get this review out than I expected, and yet, here we are! Sorry about that, better late than never I suppose. Anyway. I read 11-16, but I'll probably focus mostly on 11-15. We'll see how it all shakes out. I might have been more caught off guard if I'd read...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Reflections in Amaranthine Steel

    Interesting, you're the second person who thought this was a oneshot. I suppose I do mostly write oneshots these days. But no, it's a long-form story, I would have structured a oneshot very differently. I'm honestly clueless about threadmarks lol, I'll try to figure those out if it makes things...

    Pokémon Grounded

    Ello, Fobbie. Here for Catnip. This made for an interesting read. It's another examination of the trainerverse through the lens of pokemon, granted a far lighter variant compared to what I read from you last. But there's still that lingering sense of alienation--once again, we never see an...

    Pokémon Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Reflections in Amaranthine Steel
    Threadmarks: Chapter One

    Pick clean the bones of Pokémon caught in the sea or stream. Thank them for the meals they provide, and pick their bones clean. When the bones are as clean as can be, set them free in the water from which they came. The Pokémon will return, fully fleshed, and it begins anew. The...

    Pokémon Beyond Anything We Could Imagine (ArtificialParadiseshipping week challenge)

    Hello, hello! Here for Catnip. :) So admittedly I bounced off gen 9 hard, which means a lot of context probably flew clear over my head. But the opening does a good job grounding us in the particulars of this story and the most important elements of it: these two AIs and their relationship with...

    Pokémon (PMD) Between the Mountains and the Sea

    And I'm back! Here to chat about chapters 5-10. And hoo boy, is there a lot to talk about! All the best cowboys really do have daddy issues, eh? Heh. So I'll start by saying I I really enjoy how there's not really a central plot tying the narrative together. Obviously, the mystery of Solder's...

    Pokémon Do Psychic Cats Dream of Electric Sheep?

    I've read chapters 1-10. I'll be honest, I haven't been feeling the best recently, so this was my 'feel-good' read. I appreciate it a lot for that, but it also means I probably won't have the most insightful stuff to say. (I might have reviewed the first chapter before but I don't remember...
