Summary
Aisling is a country girl trying on a new persona as she moves closer to bright, sparkling civilization and takes part in an exclusive pokemon training program run by the illustrious Sycamore Labs. Impressing the professor enough to get into the even more exclusive mega evolution program and winning all eight Kalos badges is a tall order, but Luck has always been Aisling's lady.
With high school over, Xoana is floundering in a pool of her own abandoned interests and aborted hobbies. So she follows her friends as they pursue their dreams, hoping for a change, inspiration, and maybe just a bit of adventure. But Aisling’s brand might be a tad more than she bargained for. These days she doesn’t know whether to be excited or tired and which is the more dangerous.
The story alternates between the perspectives of the two central protagonists, Aisling (the player character) and Xoana (the Shauna stand in). Tightrope is a story about luck, balance, extremes, and the masks we wear for the various people in our lives. It's based on a fairly standard nuzlocke of Y (with a few extra rules to up the difficulty) but some wacky shit went down, inspiring the run you see before you.

Summary
Sometimes in order to move forward, you have to look back. Or at least that’s what Latios says. So when the latest in a series of catastrophes sets her adrift, Ren tries to square with her demons and everything else, good and bad, that led her to this tipping point and plunged her over the edge.
Ren’s story, as she tells it, is about love in all its many forms and permutations. How it soured and broke her, how it warmed and healed her, how it inspired and drove her, and how it’s carried her through—and may well again before the end.Three years ago, I decided to write a comic script based on my OmegaRuby navlocke and, as a challenge to myself, published the entire 300,000+ word story in a year flat. And on this, the second anniversary of its completion, I'm releasing a prose revamp. The original script version helped me immensely with my drafting and writing in general, so my plan is to essentially repeat my original writing challenge to boost my redrafting and editing skills in the same way. I don’t know if I can manage in it in a year like last time (especially since I’m juggling two other stories atm) but that’s the goal! Wish me luck!

Summary
Dual Protagonists, one from Alola and one from Johto, embark on the Island Challenge together. When long-time internet friends Makani and Azophi finally meet in person, it feels like life is taking a turn for the better. Along with Makani's brother Hau and the mysterious runaway Lillie, the two begin on a journey full of Island Trials, personal trials, and ghosts both old and new. On the way they make friends, enemies, and frenemies with a variety of original and previously established characters. Action, humor, drama, shade, and good old-fashioned shenanigans ensue. The Night Grows Pale features a diverse cast, explores queer themes and identity, as well as the traditional nuzlocke themes of responsibility, loss and finding friends in unexpected places.
Rating: This story is not super dark or anything, but the protagonists are 17-21, so stuff will come up. The writing will contain themes of abuse, self-loathing, violence, memes, drug references, sexual references, Nebby never getting in the bag, and colorful language.
