    Pokémon Inkedust's Collection of One-Shots and Drabbles

    Hey! This was a really fun read. Darkrai is such an openly villainous guy, reveling in classic evil overlord things and torturing his underlings for the smallest slight, and for the villain of a story it'd be kind of cheesy, but in this story it just makes it so satisfying to watch the Stranger...

    Pokémon Curse (one-shot)
    Threadmarks: Curse

    (credit to Umbra for Kari's character design) 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...

    Pokémon Nameless (2022 Contest One-shot)

    Ooohhh. Really enjoyed this one. I think you did a really lovely job on the style here, keeping the narrative voice consistent and the language punchy, and it all feels really polished and well executed. The use of the name theme and the final lines of each section is a great choice for...

    Pokémon Into Light (2022 Contest Oneshot)

    That does add some context! I assumed Moonsong was just a random member of the troupe because Ribbontail just identified them as Moonsong and not in a way that suggested it was especially personal, but it makes sense if they were his child specifically. I think what's striking me about it...

    Pokémon Into Light (2022 Contest Oneshot)

    Hoo boy, what a story. I figured from the start that Vera didn't actually get killed by ghosts, but didn't have an inkling of where it wound up actually going (though you foreshadow it nicely throughout). I thought you did a lovely job of writing Ken's POV, his prejudice, his relationship with...

    Pokémon Hunting Game

    Hey! I read this story yesterday in the Google Doc, so unfortunately no line-by-lines, and apologies if I comment on something that's been changed, but I figured I'd drop overall thoughts! I really enjoyed this story on most every level. The prose is smooth, the second-person POV reads well, it...

    Pokémon Eidolon (TR 2022 contest one-shot)

    Hey! I read this yesterday in my contest entry marathon so I thought I'd stop by and drop a bit of a review - no line quotes unfortunately since I wasn't taking down quotes as I read, but general thoughts. I don't think I've read much significant prose from you before but I think you did quite...

    Dave looked at Lusamine, deadpan. "Well, that's fucking boring." The hissing creature she'd pointed at (it had a fucking cowboy hat, how on earth was so much insufferable godforsaken nonsense in his multiverse escapades cowboy-themed, was there a dead cowboy spirit fucking haunting him) had a...

    And they were gone. A Brisa and Starr who remembered nothing and then got immediately killed. Figured. Dave took a tight breath, arms folded. "Well, clearly whoever here's a doctor should've fucking gone for them. They were the obvious target. Kind of surprised the mafia even had the balls to...

    "She's right," Dave said, still leaning back against the stage, arms folded. "We want to eliminate somebody today. Abstaining just means the mafia gets to make the next kill, and then it'll definitely be a townie. Makes sense sometimes when most everyone's got useful powers, but not here. All we...

    Dave blinked. A Brisa who hadn't been to Cibus? Hadn't been there yet? But then why was she with Starr? A Starr who... seemed to only remember him from that first mafia game? ...That or a Brisa with amnesia. A Brisa who just didn't remember any of it had happened. Like he hadn't in the interim...

    The first look on her face was a weird mixture of confusion and anxiety, and for a moment it shook him somehow, before he realized. Oh. She wouldn't know his actual human self, would she? Or... technically she had seen him that one time, but briefly, a younger version, probably she barely even...

    This again. Of course. Dave sighed, sitting against the edge of the stage, dozing off with the orb in his hand. He awoke with a start to the Porygon announcing everyone had their roles; in some detached way he already knew his. Great. Okay, they could get started already and then-- He blinked...

    It's time! Today, on The Quest for the Legends' twentieth anniversary, is the time I hoped to get to post the final chapter here, and it all worked out in the end. Thank you to everyone who's followed along! Chapter 77: Home “It’s a soul gem,” Molzapart said as Mark turned the purple...

    Note that chapter 75 has also been posted! Don't read this one until you've read that. More suicide content warning here. This chapter is the one chapter to have been expanded a little bit beyond the original version; these expansions were made in kind of a rush, but I hope they represent an...

    Threadmarks: The Final Stretch - Chapter 75: Mewtwo²

    Apologies for the wait! The climax of the story is finally here with chapters 75 and 76 (the two are being posted simultaneously, because 75 raises a lot of questions answered by 76). Note that there is still one more chapter after this, which should be posted on Sunday, the story's twentieth...
