    Threadmarks: Death of Duty, Chapter 26: Confession

    Journey Death of Duty Part 6: Secrets and Lies Confession Truth sets you free. — Champion Lance Wataru Janine and I hadn't packed for any kind of mission. We had nothing, no communication, no supplies, and in my case no pokemon outside of Artemis. Artemis, who was busy with an impromptu...

    Special Episodes: What We Do For Our Children

    CW: Mentions of child abuse and manipulation. Depictions and mentions of torture. Blood, violence and death (human and pokemon) abound. Is it better to do something because it is right, or because it benefits you? "He's waiting in the other room," Matori said with a curt nod. "He seemed...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Chapter 4+5 Exchange is finally here! I’ve said it before, you paint a picture with setting descriptions at times. Absolutely gorgeous depiction of the forest with words. One thing that I absolutely love is that the narration follows Red off on tangents and really makes you sit in his mental...

    Pokémon The Hero of Another Story

    Catnip time! Fairly ordinary start tbh. It all seems so tame for you lol. Just some relatively wholesome team dynamics, which can be a good introduction. OH BOY that’s a tonal shift. Introducing the trainer and then immediately having the shock of cobalion whole-ass decapitating Leon is much...

    Special Episodes: Born, Rebuilt

    Born, Rebuilt The sky burns red like it is day even though the sun set hours ago. Streams of fire trail through the smoking sky and the air feels hot on my carapace. My den-mate shifts at my side, her attention turning to me and away from the other Scythe-Arms standing at the ready. She...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Double chapter review drop! This will be mostly stream of consciousness, with praise and crit handed out where I think its due. Chapter 2: I will say beforehand, that the chapter seems very polished with solid prose all around. It shows the care you put into this story. So, Red’s seeing a...

    Pokémon Weaversong

    Alright! here to check out chapter 1! I’m very not a PMD fan, so I may miss some things that are inherent to the setting (though I have played rescue team/explorers). I’ll be honest, the opening does not grab me. Maybe thats my problem with my whole “can’t relate unless there are physical...

    Journey Death of Duty Part 6: Secrets and Lies Conservation History walks the earth once more. — Alexander Vargas The phone rang aggressively, rousing me from the half-drunk slumber. I sat up, fumbling with my pokegear and dropping a stray glass to the floor. It shattered, and Janine shot...

    Pokémon Teleport-A-Loo (Two-Parter)

    Ch 1: I like the idea of a pokemon making jokes to themselves in the 1st person narrative. Fun little thing, since my narrative is so utterly formal. Ha! This is fun! Casey instantly has a very clear voice that I can already tell I’ll enjoy! Kadabra legs really aren’t made for walking. Funny...

    Pokémon Of Sand and Shadows

    Alright, I’m back! One a day! Wes’ pokemon being bacon fiends is a hilarious touch, and I love the effortless way you slipped in the worldbuilding that Wes would normally be stealing table scraps if he hadn’t escaped with some money. I absolutely adore the retro-futurist-western blend that you...

    Pokémon Of Sand and Shadows

    Alright! I said I was here and here I am! I completely forgot how Colosseum opens. Love how explosive it was (lol). I’m not a massive fan of onomatopoeia, but it’s fine enough. The action itself is a bit short for my liking. It was almost an afterthought to take down the skarmory, something...

    Pokémon The End: Rekindled (Now Complete!)

    Hi there! JoshtheWriter here with your (late) catnip review. I mainly use FFN, so I’ll be crossposting the review here and TR! PMD fic? I don’t normally read them, so you might have some confusion on certain things but I’ll be sure to ask questions throughout. I’m liking the teases of...

    He woke slowly, his eyes blinking unevenly at the harsh light. He heard a woman's voice speaking an unfamiliar language and turned to face the sound. The chains around his wrists and ankles scraped heavily along the floor. The harsh sound of metal on stone was like a shot of adrenaline to the...

    Pokémon Hunter, Haunted

    Alright, so I’m here for your long-awaited review! The prologues are damn effective. Personally, while the second one is maybe more effective at delivering me the information, it just can’t match the sheer disgust and skin-crawliness that the first prologue left me with. The second one gave me...

    Pokémon Magic & Transvolution

    Alright! I’m awake and actually capable of reading now! I did read this chapter last night, but I’ll be honest I don’t remember a thing. I was not functional whatsoever lol. I’ll only comment on it one time (because it’s solely personal preference), but I’m not a fan of present tense. I get it...
