Here we go!! I blazed through the final six chapters, and WOW I have so much to say. For starters, these chapters are extremely battle-heavy—for obvious reasons! Steven faces Wallace, then gets the Rain Badge, then battles through the Elite Four and the Champion. Tons of significant battles...

This week’s fic rec goes to @Dragonfree ’s one-shot, Go. A super charming story that will hit you right in the feels. I especially love the way Pokémon training in general is depicted here, and reading this is like getting a glimpse into a childhood dream come true. The optimistic take on the...

Back for the finale! So far, we are 3/3 on how many times I’ve read this chapter versus how many times it manages to make me cry. There are some gorgeous and wrenching lines in here. 🥲 Gosh I love this fic so much. I know we both like to meme on it being your Ultimate Angst fic, and it...

Hello hello! Yellow17 I’d been meaning to hit up this one-shot last week but irl got in the way and I got a super late start in blitz. I’ve been hearing lovely things about this one-shot, so I’m very happy to be here reviewing it now! This was an absolute treat to read, and I’m glad I...

Back for more, as promised! A couple of the most gut-wrenching lines within the entire fic are in these chapters. 😭 I just want to echo everything I’ve said before about how excellent this all is. In particular, since these chapters are the most action-heavy, you do a great job with writing...

So…I can’t believe I’ve never reviewed this?? I think I had it in my head that I had at one point because we chatted about it or something? Regardless, I am here to RIGHT THIS WRONG, this is an absolutely stellar fic and it deserves all the love in the world. I’m genuinely so excited to rant...

Back for another review! I’m in the process of tweaking my review style just a little bit for blitz so that I don’t burn out, so bear with me if this review is formatted a little differently from my previous one today! First, I picked out a few line quotes to focus on: Wow this chapter gave...

HOWDY HEY Man, it’s been such a long time since I’ve revisited ES. Way too long, I’m so sorry! 😭 I was immediately excited to hop back in, especially once I realized I’d left off RIGHT BEFORE THE SLEEPOVER CHAPTER AAAAAH Anyway, let’s dive in! So much happens in these chapters! What a...

Okay so, while this one-shot is on the shorter side, there is. SO MUCH. To talk about. I always find that I have so much to gush over when it comes to your writing, because you pack so much into every sentence. This is no exception! Guarding against sympathy, yusss. I love me an antagonist that...

Yes hello it is me, I can’t believe I actually haven’t formally reviewed this yet? How?? I’ll have you know that this wrecked me when I read it the first time and rereading it made me emotional AGAIN. So thanks for wrecking my feels repeatedly, you’re the worst. :mewlulz: (Joking, obviously. I...

Hello! Listen. Every single one of you needs to drop what you’re doing immediately and go read Pizza With a Slice of Pain by @zion of arcadia . Why? Let me tell you why. I read this fic while judging 2021’s one-shot contest and absolutely adored it—and, reading it again a year and a half...

Hello hello! I know I have reviewed this one-shot as a judge two-ish years ago, but I’m absolutely thrilled to come back and review it as a regular reader this time! Plus, it looks like you’ve made some tweaks here and there! Admittedly, I might not catch every change you made since it’s been...

Howdy hey! I am LONG overdue to review this fic to begin with, and it certainly was a treat! First of all, I love the title—it gives a very accurate depiction of what kind of story this is. And second, this was a really really lovely little bit of xenofiction! From my own writing experience...

As soon as Steven spoke, Wes glanced around and felt his stomach drop. It seemed nothing had changed at all—Sigmin and Nox were still suspended, motionless, as were all the other victims. Wes let out a quiet groan and rubbed his forehead. What the hell had that dream been for, then? Not a damn...

The scene around them blurred, beams of light folding into one another, and then Wes felt that familiar and nauseating sense of vertigo once more as they were pulled away from the dream. He leaned into Neo to steady himself, grumbled under his breath, and silently prayed that this would be the...

Novo watched Wes and Neo disappear through the portal with a heavy weight in his stomach. But he couldn’t afford to fret now, not with so many foes to fight and Orzo continuing to look over them all. He had to trust that they would keep each other safe. He stretched out his wings and gave them...

Neo trilled in laughter at the shocked look on both of their faces. They were so surprised! He loved surprises! And judging from the way Nox’s eyes lit up as he hastily scrambled up to his trainer’s shoulder, he liked them too! Neo trotted towards the restaurant with his head held high and a...

Neo padded alongside Nox, chattering happily as Sigmin lead the way. But Wes was preoccupied with the way things melted and shifted eerily around them, the way humans and Pokémon alike brushed past without even the slightest glance. None of this was real, certainly, but…Sigmin and Nox didn’t...

Neo’s eyes lit up. “A snack! That’s right! You were going to show me pan…pan…panflakes? Let’s go get some!” Wes leaned against the brick wall behind him with his arms folded as he took in Sigmin’s reply. So it was like that, huh. He’d thought that the guy knew what was what when they’d met...
