    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    In Progress Heroes After All

    Anyway I was able to motor it and produce Chapter 8! This one is BACKSTORY HO, plus some new peeps: Chapter 8: Stories It had been a few weeks since Polly was attacked. The other Aura Guardians had organized squads to find the perpetrator. There was no luck. Polly herself was fine. Fine...

    Steam Over The Post-Apocalypse

    This is a story set in one of my original settings, the Midnightverse, a post-apocalyptic post-human fantasy isekai story starring a human from a "normal" world getting yeeted to there as a weird chimera, plus a native human descendant and her dog. It is also a homage to Steamed Hams that is...

    In Progress Heroes After All

    Oof, five months. Worldbuilding June and Artfight ambushed me and made me lose track of fic stuff. But I've got a chapter here anyway! Hope you enjoy: Chapter 7: Encounters Aaron had taken some time to himself to explore the monastery. Partially because he was bored, and partially because the...

    One-Shot The Bear, The Bird, and The JRPG Protagonist

    Heyo! This is a short short slice of life story commemorating our two most recent Super Smash Bros DLC characters. It would have been a bit longer but it ended up taking longer than expected, so I tried to get it out of the way. Regardless, I hope you find this to be an amusing little tale...

    One-Shot Pallete

    Here it is, my entry to the Origins Kanto contest on the Serebii forums. I had to do some edits to try and fix the more glaring flaws the judges pointed out, but I liked how it turned out regardless. The following fic is written like a children's fable, influenced heavily by too much Okami and...

    In Progress Heroes After All

    Okay so um... You remember that scene at the end of Chapter 5? The one with the suicide? Well yeah that's been replaced with something more wholesome after considering the feedback from certain readers and doing some self-reflection. What started as a honest attempt to vent my own feelings with...

    In Progress Heroes After All

    Surprise! You thought I was DONE with Fire Emblem crossovers after Rude Awakening?! Well think again! This fic is going in a whole new direction with more FE characters than Smash Bros, starting... Now! Bonus Chapter 2: Fire Emblem Heroes After All Polly was resting on a bench outside the...

    In Progress Heroes After All

    And here's Chapter 6! Sorry this got delayed so much - by life, finishing up Rude Awakening, and starting up a special secret project. Anyway, this chapter is an experiment in multiple things, particularly in dealing with two bits of feedback I've gotten: showing off and expanding on the side...

    Completed Rude Awakening (Pokemon X Fire Emblem)

    I promised I'd do a trivia episode for Rude Awakening and here it is! *This fic was originally written for the Quarterly Challenge for crossovers on the Serebii.net forums, which was a thing back in... 2016. Yeah. It was originally supposed to be a oneshot to take care of the challenge quickly...

    Completed Rude Awakening (Pokemon X Fire Emblem)

    Well. This is it. The end. This fic has come a long way in three years and while I'm glad it's over I'm gonna miss it. But! I'll save further thoughts for after the main attraction - though thank Venia Silente for one of the many, many foreshadow-y cameos: Epilogue: New Game + Hoopa looked...

    Completed Rude Awakening (Pokemon X Fire Emblem)

    Welp. Here it is. The final chapter other than the epilogue I'm planning. It's quite the finale, I enjoyed putting it together, and I hope you enjoy reading it: Chapter 10: Endgame Palkia was in a huddle around a table with both her group and Lucina's group. Even Wuzzles was looking over the...

    One-Shot The Other Ken

    This... was a very late Christmas gift for a friend, the identity of whom you'll be able to ascertain as you read it, and a blatant excuse for dipping my toes into a fandom I've wanted to write in for over a decade. With that ou of the way, enjoy: The Other Ken Ken had a relatively simple...

    One-Shot Social Experiment

    Some notes about this fic: A. This was a gift for The Teller for the Serebii Holiday Fanfic Gift Exchange 2018 and is thus very silly, including the title being a meme 1. This is NOT part of the Yangverse and in fact actively contradicts it because [SPOILERS] Anyway, have fic: Social...

    In Progress Heroes After All

    And here's Chapter 5! Do note this chapter is... kind of dark, and deals with subjects like vomiting, eye mutilation, and general blood and death. Chapter 5: Don't Fear The Reaper Aaron waited for the ball. And waited, and waited. The other kids and their Pokemon seemed intent to keep it...

    Completed Rude Awakening (Pokemon X Fire Emblem)

    Okay! Here's Chapter 9! Do be warned this has what will probably be the goriest scene in the entire fic. Also some characters I was looking forward to introducing! Chapter 9: Teenage Wasteland It was dark. The clouds rarely let the sun through. It had been this way for years, as had the...

    In Progress Heroes After All

    Some old art I haven't shared in this thread yet: Our protagonists by autobottesla, ordered by Spiteful Murkrow (I imagine Aaron doesn't have the cape yet but everything else is 100% accurate and 200% adorable) Polly and co. by the same artist except ordered by me and Polly and her Dunsparce...

    Completed Rude Awakening (Pokemon X Fire Emblem)

    Here's some fanart! Giratina's disguise by roule and Dialga's disguise by frilthy! Time for Chapter 8! Do note that this is the point where the fic gets... Noticeably less lighthearted and silly. It won't lose that entirely but... Don't say I didn't warn you. As for what that entails...

    In Progress Heroes After All

    Forgot to add this last time but have a Ginji by DeliriousAbsol! ---------------------- Have a bonus chapter! This is a tie-in to the Missing Mod Madness event on the Serebii.net forums. It is, however, designed to be understandable to those outside said forums. It is also 100% canon...

    In Progress Heroes After All

    And here's Chapter 3! Sorry it took a few months, haha, I needed to update Rude Awakening first. But anyway, here's a chapter where our protagonists discover they've got a long hill to climb: Chapter 3: Freaks As Aaron entered the barracks, he looked around to find the other kids bunched...

    In Progress Heroes After All

    Anyway here's Chapter 2! It's alas also a bit scrawnier than it could be because I had writers block trying to update Rude Awakening first and decided to get this out of the way, but I hope you enjoy what's there. Chapter 2: Initiation The cart rattled and shook, and Aaron braced himself. He...
