    Summary

    Lost in time and lost in space, a girl with no memory is stranded alone in the wild Crimson Mirelands, far from the safety of Prelude Beach. Instead of a helpful professor and friendly Pokémon, she is greeted by a torrential downpour. A stranger in a strange land, Akari must adapt and change quickly to survive, and perhaps unravel the secret of her past along the way.

    Will update at least once a week on Mondays, but probably more or early if I feel like it.
    Delays will be announced ahead of time unless something unexpected and bad happens. Ex:a family member is hit by a car.

    Summary

    To illuminate the darkness one only needs a candle; to smother the sun, one needs a monster. To topple a god, one needs a primordial strength. So what does one need, if one is to try and find redemption?

    As the dream plague known as The Infection spread across Hallownest, the Pale Court fought to save its bugs from the dangerous affliction. But one night, something changes. Dreams lie dark and still as a Sun falls near Dirtmouth. Its impact rattles more than the earth, it shakes Hallownest to its core. And what rises from the ashes could change everything, even moreso than its existence already has.

    The question is, if it will make things better or worse. Or rather, if she will.

    Summary

    "In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state."

    Or...

    What if Pebbles was just slightly less arrogant about accepting help from others?

    Summary

    A knight without a kingdom, bereft of duty, without her monarchs, is no knight at all.

    Dryya wakes in the Queen's Gardens months after her death, confused and alone. The White Lady is gone. There are no more infected mantises polluting her Lady's realm, just a scattered collection of mutated wild animals. She has stood valiantly at her post for three centuries. Without her Queen, what is she to do?

    Without purpose for the first time in almost a millennia, Dryya must forge herself a new one: she will reassemble her lost knights and do what she can to put the broken remnants of her King's realm back together. But much time has passed since her quasi-exile in the Gardens, and much that once was is now lost. Despite her long centuries as a warrior of unparalleled might, Dryya will learn that the toughest battles are those that come when there are no enemies left to fight.

    Disclaimer: This is an intensive character study and an extremely long-form fic, covering the events of Dryya's very long life from the birth of Hallownest to long after its fall. Slow burn. Extensive flashbacks. Read the tags.

    Summary

    This is a collection of various Pokémon short stories and snippets I've written in the past, collected together for ease of viewing.

    No, not all of them are AltoShipping, but I included that tag because a few of them include overtones of that.
