    Summary

    For almost as long as Amy Rose knew Sonic, she received beautiful flowers at her doorstep. Believing them to be Sonic, but still wanting to keep the mystery, she left a love letter for when he would deliver the next flower. Their tradition continued into adulthood and served as a foundation for their-- admittedly denied by him-- romance.

    Despite loving their secret connection, Amy wants to finally move forward and be more honest about their relationship. She's stopped in her tracks when, the next time she opens her front door, Metal Sonic offers her a flower on his own.

    This fic has an overarching story on Amy and Metal's newfound romance forged over old memories, all while navigating their opposing views and obligations. Chronologically takes place after all the current "canon" so there are references to the games/comics. Has both a slice-of-life and action/adventure focus. The perspective shifts between Amy and Metal, properly marked in each chapter. Additional tags will be added as chapters are released

    Summary

    “Gemini, Taylor.”

    The words struck like a hammer on stone, reverberating in the heavy silence. For a moment, the air seemed to hold its breath. Then came the inevitable shift—dozens of heads turned in unison, necks craning to find her, their eyes sharp with pity, relief, or muted guilt. The crowd parted like water around her, a slow and somber wave of grays and blues, their muted clothing a reflection of their lives. Shoulders hunched, eyes averted, no one dared meet her gaze for long.

    A Hunger Games AU, for the whole life series, told from Gem’s POV because i was watching the hunger games and wanted to see these characters in this setting!

    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

    Summary

    A chatfic exploring a universe where instead of going to meet Goh at Professor Cerise's lab, Ash instead is stuck managing Alola, getting advice off of the Champions, watching bonds being made, and learning how to become responsible, all in the media of messages. There's a lot happening, being Champion isn't easy, there's a lot to do - and a lot Ash wants to do.

    It's time to grow up, for Ash. Whether he will or not, that is the next question.
