Summary
Sue, a lowly comp-sci student with no knowledge of Pokémon, must persevere in their world after waking up as a Gardevoir. With the locals and their language completely alien to her, even the refuge she receives feels uncertain.
Local deities invading her dreams and using her as a pawn don’t help, either.
As Sue uncovers this world’s scarred history, her god-mending task becomes increasingly clear, as does its difficulty. Despite that, and her limited grasp of her own powers, she keeps trying, for her goal remains the same.
To survive and make it home, no matter what.
Xenofiction Mystery / Slice of Life, told from the perspective of someone with no Pokémon knowledge at all. Major themes include self-discovery, xenophobia, overcoming guilt, and forging one's own fate against the powers that be.

Summary
The figure sighs, exasperated. “I’m not an Expression, if that’s what you’re worried about. I don’t need your respect.”
“What are you, then?” you ask.
The figure exhales, and you’re not quite sure how, considering the lack of a mouth or nose. “I am pure data, knowledge, inevitability, consequence…” they trail off, “and I have no need for a name.”
“Alright, Miss Consequence,” you parrot.
--
Somehow, you've managed to get yourself stuck in a time loop. At least it's you who is stuck— you can't imagine any of your other party members would be particularly equipped to tease out the puzzle around why.
No, it's just you... and whatever Consequence is.
(Odile looping AU)

Summary
The practice is the intersection of self, word, and pattern. Word is inviolate, and patterns have been a part of Naomi Cohen's life for as long as she can remember. Her Self, however, has reached a point of flux, and in that challenge risks collapse.
So obviously the solution is ignore the problem and hope it goes away. Naomi is a student of the past, after all.
And the one thing everyone knows about the past is that it has never, ever had even the slightest bearing on the present.
