    Pokémon kunāne (oneshot)

    Well, this is kinda hard to review... because it's making me feel too many things to find words for it all. But I love it. It left me feeling a bittersweet sort of melancholy. Now, having loved it though I may have, I must admit I didn't understand what was going on on a literal level. The...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    "And I'm lucky enough for that as well..." It used to be the case that, what felt like ages ago, Soul had wondered if being more than a shade was worth all the trouble that came with becoming *Soul* in the first place... How long had it been since she'd last wondered that? It was a long time...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    The thought that normal familiars might have chosen their identities was something that had never occurred to Soul. Though, if Luz wasn't awake enough to remember it, would she have been awake enough to make a choice? Possibly. It wouldn't be the strangest thing about being a shade. Soul had...

    Soul smiled back. Luz was pretty charming... Even if she made Soul anxious once in a while. She counted herself fortunate being a zeraora did mean something to Luz. She was halfway anticipating Luz to say it meant nothing, which would've made her explanation all the more difficult. "But what if...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    Soul had to think about that. What did this mean to her? It felt like there was a hole in her idea of who she is that was been filled in, but why? Why did it matter to her? She wasn't sure why. "It's hard to put into words. Everyone needs something to be. You're a zeraora. Does that mean...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    "Before the tree and what we learned afterwards, Eternatus and their power... I knew about it, but it was like an abstract concept. Like humans: Known, but a mystery. Or, like they would be had we not a dozen of them on Team Spectrum." Soul thought it odd how she thought of humans as distant...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    Soul laughed. That party felt like a lifetime ago now. In some sense, it was. "I remember that, too. I believed it. Really thought you were unbreakable. You still seem that way sometimes, even now that I know it's not literally true. You're very... grounded. I look up to that."

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    Soul breathed a sigh of relief. Luz was still okay, then. "I know that. I can see that on everyone else's normal faces. I just wanted to understand why. I suppose it's because everyone else has figured out who they are already?" Soul had never really known what it would be like to be a normal...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    Soul's tails twitched. She'd been right to worry, then. Luz clearly thought she was silly. She'd known someone might say something like that, but hearing it from someone she'd considered a friend stung. "Fine, maybe you already pretty much figured all this and none of it matters to you. But I've...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    Soul tilted her head. "You don't feel... anything? We've learned a lot about what we are, and you... hmm... I suppose it's a good thing for you to be so stable. Like bedrock." Still, there had to be something Luz felt, somewhere... She'd been staunchly defensive of Joule. Maybe that could be an...

    Soul continued looking at the shelf, as if her change wouldn't already be visible to Luz from the side. "I don't know what I'm looking for, really. I feel something. I want to read something that... opens that feeling up. Expands it. Am I talking nonsense, or do you get what I mean? I want a...

    Threadmarks: [R13] Luz and Soul

    Soul was looking for a book. She wasn't sure what book she was looking for, but she had an emotional itch, and she needed something to scratch it with. She kept her face close to the shelf. She was hoping nobody paid too much attention to her. It was hard not to feel self-conscious when the...

    An hour's writing today. (Gonna log more often now b/c I definitely missed logging last month by waiting for "enough" to log and losing track of it. Sorry if it ends up being annoying.)

    Posted reviews of Tetra's other two bingo prompt oneshots at comfortably greater than 200 words. Managed to anxiously procrastinate my way into doing it during a big boss round, too, which is awful convenient.

    Pokémon Welcome to the World of Pokemon! (Drabble Collection/Bingo)

    Hello, I am back! Been in a real funk regarding my feelings about my ability to do reviews but I still want to review the other 2 here. Neat and Tidy: A bold statement about the capitalist society we live in, wherein every store packacges to bloody much of everything in one package to trick...

    "No problem? I'm glad you're feeling better." Celeste stared out into the stars above. He really did have a wonderful friendship with Icetales. Celeste leaned into Icetales. He took a deep breath and thought about how pleasant it was to spend this night with his friend. <><><><><>

    Celeste laughed back. "Sure, chill out." He took a deep breath. There was more to say, but he wasn't sure how. "I was never in such a survival situation. I'm just... emotionally defensive. It was just easier to only invest in those who were close to me. Saved me having to worry about...

    Celeste smiled. "I am sure you would fix it had you ever the chance. Yours is the gentlest of hearts... Just... Don't lose yourself in the size of the task, okay? There's times you're startlingly alike to Brisa before her shadow talked her into allowing herself from rest. I worry you'd crush...
