Title: truth and ideals (and the fallen in love).

Author: michellejjones

Fandom: Pokemon Black and White

Rating: PG

Pairing: N/Touko

Warnings: Pokemon death, mild violence

Other notes: outside PoV, rivals to lovers, worldbuilding

Length: 9k

Summary: 

The patience behind her gaze throws him off; The silent wisdom throws him off even more. Her sentence is short, and simple, but she packs so much power and love and intelligence behind it, that N stops moving for a second, stops moving just long enough for Snivy to laugh haughtily before stalking back to his trainer.

"Just because I raise Pokemon differently than you," Touko says slowly, eye contact never wavering, "Does not mean I love them any less."

N's jaw drops, processing her words and then processing her voice: It's pretty.

She bows her head at him, ever-respectful, and goes back to being silent. After a brief pause, the argument between he and Cheren -with the occasional snide comment from Snivy- resumes. When the confrontation is over, it's like Touko has never even spoken, and N almost forgets her words.

Almost, but not quite.

Rating: PG

Pairing: Keith/clone!Shiro,

Warnings: angst, break-up/divorce, unrequited love, depression

Other notes: post-canon, canon divergence, hurt/comfort, clones

Length: 12k

Summary: The safest thing to do, perhaps, is to let the clone die. Destroy the pod, if possible. They can't be sure what they'll wake up.

But Keith is here. That changed everything.

Keith had cared about Shiro - well, who he thought was Shiro, even after. Keith had cared about the clone back then, even knowing what he was, even knowing what he tried to do to their team, their family. Keith had told that clone that he-

It’s doesn’t matter, right now.

Keith is here, and Shiro's not going to make Keith watch him die another time.

So he says, "Wake him up."

Or: Shiro watches Keith and his clone Kuro together, and sees a glimpse of what could've been if he had made different choices.

Pairing: some one-sided Garak/Bashir, but overall pretty gen

Warnings: alcohol and drunkenness, background character death, grieving, angst

Other notes: alcohol, family, alien culture

Length: Medium

Summary: There were so few he could share any part of his life with now. If he were honest with himself, there had never been many, and with the death of Tain, another huge chunk of his life had been cut away. No more opportunities. At least when he had been alive, the future had not held such irrevocable loneliness. He had been allowed his father for just a few brief minutes, now all he had left was the line of bottles.
