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.

My thoughts:

Hey everyone.

I wanted to do some small fandom recs, so today I’d like to share a few fics from From Eroica With Love, which follows the adventures of a straight-laced NATO officer and the flamboyant art thief who inadvertently end up crossing paths. Spying, action, and belligerent sexual tension ensue. The manga’s been running off-and-on since the 1970s, so as you can imagine, there’s a lot to work with.
