    Pokémon Go (one-shot, v3)

    My strongest reaction to Go is that it's frankly adorable. I love that this is a fic about an unremarkable protagonist falling for an unremarkable pokémon, about making mistakes and wrong assumptions but still ending up in a loving companionship, about a slow and subtle change for the better...

    Pokémon Stable, Predictable, Safe [PMD Oneshot]
    Threadmarks: Stable, Predictable, Safe

    This was my entry to the 'Mischief and Malice' oneshot contest, a villain POV piece featuring a character from the Heartache continuity. No background knowledge ought to be strictly necessary. My interview for the contest can be found here. Humans summoned from another world to take on pokémon...

    Pokémon No Quarter

    Hi, Pen! Goodness, I've wanted to review this one for a while. About time. Where to begin? I think my favourite thing about No Quarter is the richness of the worldbuilding, melding ideas from me and ideas of your own with a spot-on vibe. Specifically, the way it's expressed through characters...

    Blitz 2022: Hype & Fic Recs Thread

    Got a Week 1 fic rec~ I'd recommend any of the stories I read and reviewed today, but I'm choosing to write about Keleri's Gods and Demons because it is tragically unknown right now and I want it to receive more attention. I've only read the prologue so far, but already I can tell it's My...

    Pokémon Foregone Conclusion

    Howdy, ely! Been excited to read this one for a long fucking time, I hope that I'll be quicker to finish it and that you'll enjoy my responses. The A/N has me pretty hyped! That one thing in the spoilerbox might trouble me some, but I have every confidence your handling of it will be solid and...

    Pokémon Gods and Demons

    Hey there, dearest Keleri~ Can't believe it's taken me this long to get around to actually reading some G&D, but Hell Year is what it is. I could use some crazed god-and/or-devil-punching energy at this time in my life, so I hope this is just the start of my getting really stuck into this. I've...

    Pokémon Hoenn Short Stories Collection: The Elite

    Hi Pano! I've been wanting to review something of yours for a long time now, having seen such care in your craft and such lovely characterisation in your Mafia and AQ roleplay posts. Those qualities certainly come through in this collection of shorts. I've only read a few so far, but I found...

    Vs Despot King, Orzo

    She heard the clamour of battle. "Mal?" <We yet sustain combat, girl. Resume your role.> Laura's heart thumped as if she'd been startled awake from a nightmare, but she did as the noivern asked, scanning the battlefield and issuing commands, scrambling to find the mental rhythm from before...

    Thousand Roads Tarot

    Very proud to have completed these cards, with credit to the wonderful and talented @Chibi Pika, who assisted me on the King of Wands and with whom The Chariot was an equal collaboration. Thank you so much for all your help, I loved working on these together with you. ❤️ Thanks also to...

    Vs Despot King, Orzo

    Malachai went into a flat spin, keening at the sudden loss of lift from his right wing. Laura glanced at it, expecting with nauseated anticipation to see a ragged hole torn by some ranged attack. Her eyes widened – petrification seemed worse somehow. Unhealable. Fatal. Her fingers felt cold...

    Vs Despot King, Orzo

    Malachai's ears twitched and angled down, and his great body shifted underneath Laura as he came around in another wide loop. <Aggron is requesting an airlift, my master. He intends to shatter that barrier.> Laura frowned, then grinned, then shook her head in disbelief. "Can you do it?"...

    Vs Despot King, Orzo

    They'd downed Rayquaza. Laura cycled it in her head over and over, as if it would seem more real. They'd downed– <Yes, yes, I know. There are new gods to fight. Shape up, dull girl.> Laura scowled, but there would be time to bicker later. Right now, the light and heat were growing by the...

    Vs Despot King, Orzo

    Laura took a breath, and pushed through into the conscious, deliberate battle-headspace she needed. Not at all like a League match, really. She couldn't afford to lose. There was an army of trainers and 'mon around her, and they faced off against goddamn Legends. There would be no sportsmanship...

    Tarnished Lands - Realm of the Golden King

    Laura winced at the psychic pressure in her head, but she shook it off with a shudder of warm, buzzing, roaring emotion that balled her hands into fists and grit her teeth so hard her vision shook. "You don't deserve it," she said, in a voice so choked by anger she could hardly get the words...

    Tarnished Lands - Realm of the Golden King

    Malachai blew a confident noise of agreement, and dipped his wing to Aggron as a salute. <I am ready for victory; I am ready for death. I will see you in battle before either. Travel safe, Aggron.> The party would win by strength of numbers, by apt strategem, and by sheer force of will. But...

    Tarnished Lands - Realm of the Golden King

    Laura's smile felt a little less heavy on her face. It really was a pity they wouldn't see each other again after this. Maybe they'd get a little time, after all the terrifying conflict shit blew over...? She could stand to get to know this kid better. Seemed like they had more and more things...

    Tarnished Lands - Realm of the Golden King

    Sleet went stiff at the physical contact, but didn't recoil. Friends. This was friendship. This was... a good thing, and not a problem. "Everrrryone dies," she muttered, once Hazel finished speaking. "Usually ssssomeone else is involved." Then, not feeling that this was enough, "Hazel, it is...

    Tarnished Lands - Realm of the Golden King

    Malachai chuckled to himself at Aggron's talkative reply. One found ways to keep one's mind clear of hideous whispers, he supposed. <Low and high should suit us well,> he replied, with dry delight. <From even a single battle, I come to understand my opponents – and I understand you to be a...

    Tarnished Lands - Realm of the Golden King

    Laura looked up and smiled faintly at Jade. It was good to see her. Among all the champions and weirdos and saviours, it was good to have a girl like Jade around so Laura could feel less out of place. Right now, Jade didn't even seem any younger than Laura felt. "Relax, huh?" she said, a little...

    Tarnished Lands - Realm of the Golden King

    Sleet's guts pulled a loop inside her at the idea of someone else being the same as her – of course they weren't the fucking same... but hadn't they just been through something similar, and didn't they have... things 'in common?' Yeah... "Saw a bad old memory of back when things were shittiest...
