    A New Journey in Pokémon

    Yeah after my last attempt to write a Pokémon fic where the character had access to all the games they played... IE all of them, with some actual regional pro comp teams from the 3ds era... I wrote myself into a corner being too op, and this is my attempt at nerfing that.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 6

    Ethan was settling in. Not comfortably—not fully—but enough that the days no longer felt like they were bleeding into each other. His grandmother had taken him shopping, insisting he have proper clothes for Celestic Town. Ethan had quietly taken advantage of the situation, using the character...

    Raising Hel, in Danmachi.

    Weiss has experience fighting speedsters an has more formal training against people of equal and superior skill. The fact that she’s fighting some who doesn’t really have formal training and just relies on speed a strength mean that she’s having to use the massive skill gap between them to over...

    Ais studied the girl standing in front of her. Level One. At least, that was what the falna said. Weiss's stance looked… wrong. Too open. Too relaxed. There were gaps everywhere—space at her shoulders, her guard not fully raised, her weight light instead of grounded. Ais frowned. She's wide...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 43

    Weiss was happy to be alive again. Happy to be with Ruby and Blake. And so, when her new goddess—the one whose mark she now bore—asked her for a favor, Weiss couldn’t say no. The favor? Training someone in the art of wielding a rapier. So here she was, sliding into her brand-new combat boots...

    Dinner was quiet. Not awkward—measured. Carolina cooked them something simple and traditional, the kind of meal that had been prepared the same way in Celestic Town for generations. Ethan sat at the table with Eevee curled at his feet, the steady presence doing more for his nerves than the...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 42

    The bell over the storefront door rang once—sharp, deliberate. Hel looked up from the counter just in time to see chaos stroll in wearing a grin. Loki leaned against the doorframe like she owned the place, hands tucked behind her head, red hair wild as ever, eyes already glittering with...

    Cold. That was the first thing Ruby registered as consciousness crept back in. Not the normal Orario-at-dawn chill, not the drafty-stone-building kind of cold—this was sharper, cleaner. Like winter air that hadn't decided whether it wanted to bite yet. Ruby blinked, silver eyes opening...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 40

    The mood at the table was… lighter than it had any right to be. Plates were full, voices overlapped in casual conversation, and for the first time since Hel's descent, the space felt less like a refuge and more like a home. Ruby had cooked—again—and this time she'd gone all out. Spiced meat...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 4

    So he had been in this world for a little over a day. His dad was dead. His mom… wasn't all there. And he'd been sent off to live with his great-grandmother—who somehow managed to be both a Pokémon Professor and look suspiciously familiar in a way that made his brain itch. "Oh, and Eevee is...

    Ethan flinched as the explosion echoed through the hospital. The windows rattled violently, monitors beeping in sudden agitation as the sound rolled in from the direction of the Galactic Power Plant and Research Center. He sucked in a sharp breath. "Mom," Ethan asked, hope painfully clear in...

    The first thing he noticed was the sound. A steady, mechanical beep—slow. Measured. His eyes were too heavy to open, and even the faintest hint of light leaking through his eyelids made the headache spike violently. Must've been a hell of a night drinking… The thought surfaced automatically...

    A New Journey in Pokémon
    Threadmarks: Chapter 1

    The world of Pokémon is much darker than everyone thinks. One only needs to read the Pokédex to realize that. In a world recovering from a massive war between three teams Mystic, Valor, and Instinct. Locked in a stalemate for decades with no real winners. With entire populations both human and...

    Hel was sitting across from Mastos. She had arrived unannounced. This was, after all, a courtesy. Mastos’ office was exactly what one would expect from a god of sensible spending. Clean. Functional. No gold trim. No excessive ornamentation. A sturdy desk, well-organized shelves, ledgers...

    The Dungeon shifted as they went deeper. The stone underfoot grew darker, veins of faintly glowing crystal threading through the walls. The air felt heavier too—not oppressive, but watchful. Taylor slowed without consciously meaning to, her awareness stretching ahead of them in careful...
