a/n: This is a new fic to an awesome Netflix series called Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. If you’re not familiar with it, I can’t recommend it enough! This fic has changed a bit as new seasons have been released, but I hope you enjoy it all the same! —- Thirteen years ago… Perhaps …
Much to Zuko’s humiliation, his opening words to Katara when she visited for the first time in years, “So, um… how are… life things?” He really wanted to slap himself sometimes. The two of them sat opposite each other at a small dining table waiting for breakfast to be served. She looked at him blankly …
— a/n: A little note about where this story came from…I’ve often heard ADHD described as an inability to focus. But the most accurate description I’ve read is it’s more like having a focus cannon that likes to go off at random. Which is awesome when it’s aimed where you want; less so when it …
Gladion pressed himself into the corner of a small corridor, watching a pair of uniformed women pass by. They chatted each other up about New Year’s plans and the airport’s lousy coffee, but neither of them looked his direction. He slowly released the breath he’d been holding, to the detriment of his senses. The corner …
The two vampires met just before dawn, on the steps of the largest (and clearly, most expensive) abode in all of Forgotten Hollow. One male, white-haired and conservatively dressed. One female, who looked like she had recently been performing at a rock concert. Mohawk and all. While Forgotten Hollow was normally a quiet place, tonight …
“Step this way, sir,” the grunt behind Brock said, ushering him into the room. “And have you decided which merger you would like today?” Brock held in a laugh. Holding him at gunpoint, forcing him into this lab of theirs, and now Team Rocket had the gall to ask which Pokémon’s DNA he’d like fused …
Setting: The Southern Water Tribe, AG 172 Zuko reached out towards the roaring fire. He felt no warmth from it; only the sensation that the heat improved the circulation in his hands. Which, at his age, wasn’t a bad thing. It was Chief Tonraq and his wife Senna who had opened their home to him …
The Firelord needed three things: a strong mind, a strong body, and strong fire. Ozai’s beliefs were twisted in a number of ways, but on this, Zuko agreed with him. If their nation’s leader looked weak in any area, the nation looked weak as a whole. Weakness meant distrust in the monarchy. It meant panic …
“Hey, check this out!” Peridot burst into the room, waving some sort of papers in Pearl’s face. From what Pearl could make out from the waving images (and based on the location of all Peridot’s escapades lately), the green gem had made some kind of new discovery around the kindergarten. It just wasn’t at all …
Hey, guys. Sorry I haven’t posted anything new in a while. I have been writing plenty; I just feel behind with updating this site. I’m actually looking to re-design it on a better server, but that’s another issue. Anyway, the subject of literary agents treating authors as disposable has been coming up in my Twitter … Continue reading
The plan for Arven and the Team Star bosses to help with bringing supplies to the lab got dashed in short order. Within an hour of getting to work, Penny had listed five different absolutely necessary items, none of which Arven could discern the look of, let alone find. After she named three more items, … Continue reading
Turo curled into a fetal position, trying to grasp his shoulders, but his fingers found nothing solid to grasp. The last few moments he could remember replayed again and again in his mind. He was talking to the children, yes. Expressing regret for his failures as a parent. As an adult who should have protected … Continue reading
The soft natural light of the cave was a sharp contrast to the bright artificial lights inside. Thankfully, Penny’s eyes were quick to adjust. If anything, this place energized her. Another item to add to her list of stuff she didn’t want to think about. “Why are we taking orders from Nemona again?” Arven demanded … Continue reading
The moment Penny closed her eyes, she found herself standing in that strange void once again. Wo-Chien stood across from her, but the poor thing looked horrible. In all the images Raifort had shown them, it had a distinct form, like a massive grass-type Magcargo, using wooden tablets as its shell. Now it looked more … Continue reading
The numbers were not good. And in this human-oriented world where precious few things were quantifiable, numbers were all Ai had to rely on. A few of her readings showed an optimistic curve. The dark stakes’ energy reading, which fluctuated wildly on its best days, had grown much more stable. But the numbers that mattered? … Continue reading
The moment the ghost left, a cry of pain blasted through Penny’s skull. Wo-Chien was not happy. The crack of light in front of her vanished. She braced herself, knowing what was coming. But the effect was akin to prepping a thunderstorm and finding herself in a hurricane. The power of the ruinous Pokémon slammed … Continue reading
Before long, the group reached a meadow of tiny flowers and swaying grasses. If the world hadn’t tried to end so recently, no doubt it would have at least a few picnickers around. But as things stood, the space was empty. Which was exactly how Penny wanted it. “Arven and I talked last night after … Continue reading
“Cheers,” Arven said as he served up his own plate last. “To Team Star merely being questioned about a disappearing lake instead of arrested for it. May the group of us all live to see Paldea in one piece next week.” Each person around the table held up a plastic cup filled with lime soda … Continue reading
“Young man? Arven! Can you hear me?” Click! Penny gritted her teeth and checked her tablet screen. Her call had failed again. It went though each time she tried, and she caught snippets of someone yelling Arven’s name, but the spotty coverage would fail before she could get any real answers. Finally, after no less … Continue reading
