Summary
It's been years since Cole's plans in Kanto was foiled and a crisis was averted. Our heroes returned home safely, the horrors of the past were buried once more, and the world continued in ignorance of the catastrophe that could have been. Years passed without armies of augmented pokemon nor even any mundane wars breaking out among the regions. It seemed as though humanity and pokemon would continue together in bringing about brighter and brighter eras.
But what if a villain's mad plan wasn't so misguided after all?
Light erupted in the heart of Unova and tore the region asunder. A long forgotten, self-proclaimed god rose from its imprisonment to complete an ancient cataclysm. The region was ripped apart and the spread was only stopped due to the sacrifices of the Hero of Truth and Hero of Ideals. But it was a temporary measure and, while the rest of the world underestimates the danger, the light builds and threatens to explode forth and cleanse humanity from the Earth.
But what if one of the few hopes to save third world laid not with Unova's legendary heroes, not with those who defied Cole, but with a young, homeless mother who was cruelly experimented upon and plucked from her own era in the past?

Summary
The following fourth short stories/chapters were originally extra chapters that didn't fit into the original Fractured Actuality (and The Sanguine Gospel for the last one) narrative, but were written in that universe. Two of them, Chapter VXI and Why Tacklefests Are Lame, are non-canon. Mind Lock and Parting Ways, however, are actually canon to FA. If you read these before FA, be sure to read up to Chapter 43 for Mind Lock and finish the story before Parting Ways.
There's actually two other pieces, but I think Ao3's rules disallow me to drop what amounts to a bunch of world info and a bunch of trivia.
Also, if you've managed to miss it, these are older writings from circa 2012-2014ish. I'm uploading them purely for archival purposes. Any typos, errors, bad writing, and other such present in whatever last revision I did will not nor ever be fixed.

Summary
Afraid of his duty, a youth flees in the night to escape the destiny that others had planned for him. Unknowingly, his flight leads him directly into a different destiny in another world. Waking in the Pokemon world with no idea as to why he's there, our protagonist sets out to find out who "chose" him and why.
This is a story set in a different version of the Pokemon world that mixes and matches both lore from the different games as well as original spins on it. This was also originally written as a Red Rescue Team Nuzlocke story.
This story is incomplete and will most likely never be finished.

Summary
These are old Nuzlocke stories and writings dating from around 2012 to.... 2015, I think? I don't have exact dates anymore, sadly. Anyway, I am posting this to Ao3 purely for archival purposes so that, in the unlikely scenario where all other copies and back-ups get nuked simultaneously (which HAS happened to me on some of my old stuff) then there'll still be a copy uploaded safely here. These are completely unedited from whatever last revisions I did way in the past. All errors, typos, bad decisions, poor writing habits, and whatever else that a less-talented me had written are kept intact. I won't be including the old gameplay notes, however.
If you want a better version of these stories check out Judgement!

Judgement Abridged by Rumors (Or_So_They_Say)

Summary
This is the Abridged Series of Judgement, which can be found here. If you're not familiar with the concept of an abridged series, it basically means the stories here are parodies of the stories in Judgement. Yes, I'm parodying my own work. If you want something silly and makes light of everything that happens in a serious story, then you're in the right place. If you want actual, serious stories, well, go read the actual versions of Stolen Dreams and Eclipsed Dawn!
