  1. Summary

    Helia Brillante is an autistic trans girl freshly arrived in Paldea and a student of Uva Academy to be, whose last year of school in Opelucid City and subsequent unwilling, disastrous coming out to her father nearly broke her spirit forever. As her first day of school at Uva Academy begins, Helia embarks upon a journey - a path on which she'll face love, grief, and the crystalline secrets that lurk within her dreams. For as summer ends and fall comes upon Paldea, far more than the season is about to change, and right at the heart of it all is Helia Brillante.

    A story about bonds, dreams, and moving on - even when all that's left are the pieces of a broken heart.

    Summary

    ✨ Author’s Note:
    I’ve updated the story summary to better reflect the heart of this fic — Lilac and Kieran’s emotional journey, more than the mystery around them.

    As Arc I draws to a close, it felt right to show what this story has truly become: personal, slow-burning, and full of feeling.

    Thank you for growing with these characters and walking this path with them 💜

    Summary:
    Lilac didn’t ask for multiverse drama. She just wanted to play her flute in peace.

    But between a haunted boy with a sketchbook, a world full of secrets, and a timeline that refuses to stay in its lane, things are bound to get complicated.

    She thought it’d be a quiet study trip in Kitakami. But nothing’s quiet here — not even the past.
    This is a story about mistakes, masks, and what it means to be real — even when the world keeps trying to rewrite you.

    Featuring slow-burn OC x Kieran, emotional baggage, parallel universes, and way too many feelings.
    Contains emotional themes: trauma, manipulation, recovery, and healing through connection.

    Arc II — Indigo Disk (21 - ???)

    Summary

    Brendan likes to talk about the journey you took together through Hoenn, but all you can think about is: you were in the Cave of Origin, and he wasn’t. You were in space, on a Lord, battling an alien.

    He wasn’t.

    Summary

    After a disastrous school year of bullying and terror in Unova that culminated in an unceremonious, unwilling coming out to her father, 14-year-old Helia Brillante and her mother move to Paldea for a fresh start. Helia isn't so sure how 'fresh' of a start it will really be - she's prepared to face the same, if not worse, at Uva Academy.

    But as the first day of the school year dawns, everything begins to change, as she meets new faces that might just become far more than lifelong friends, and, as she begins to realize, something even stranger is beginning to emerge - from within her. Otherworldly music echoes in her heart, and the strange Pokémon she's dreamed of all her life suddenly seem much too clear. Helia has good reason to be afraid, and yet... this change is a chance, too. It's a chance to break her chains, to become the flower she's always been meant to be. That chance is left to Helia to seize - but not, perhaps, without a little help along the way.

    Arc 1 of 5 of Terastallized ✨
