"It is a flower created from the gentle memories collected from those you care for deeply," Black Swan says, offering a small crystal flower to Huohuo. The heliobi co-existing with the Foxian will be able to sense the power of Remembrance radiating from it, but the radiance is gentle and careful while Black Swan explains the meaning behind this gift. "You are young and diligent, so take this reminder of how your kindness and your courage create a wonderful ripple effect, touching the hearts of many. Hear the warmth your name is shared with between those you see as friends." Guinaifen excitedly speaking about showing Huohuo new videos, Sushang happily talking about what she wants Huohuo to try, the Trailblazer preparing for a visit, and so many more. Why not be a gentle Memokeeper to remind others of warm memories?

A gift from a Memokeeper @blckswnstm

Pale green eyes widened in surprise as the soothsayer's voice reached Huohuo's folded ears, and she turned around to see the elegantly dressed woman appear where she hadn't been just a moment before.

"Miss Black Swan, it's you!" The young judge exclaimed, making her way closer. It was clear from her tone that she hadn't expected to see the mysterious Memokeeper again so soon, but it wasn't exactly unwelcome. She had been nothing but kind to the little Foxian, after all. Upon seeing the crystal flower in Black Swan's hands being offered to her, Huohuo blinked. She had brought her a gift?

"This... has the memories of my friends inside it?" Small hands gingerly took the flower by the stem, and she turned it over and over in her grasp, noticing how the light reflected off of it's crystalline surface. At Black Swan's words, she briefly closed her eyes as she let the encouraging voices of her friends wash over her, bringing a smile to her face. The girl had been through much hardship for one so young, but the new people she had met, those she can truly call her friends, had been there for her when she needed them most. Her eyes opened again to linger on the flower before looking up at Black Swan again.

Yes... this would serve as an excellent reminder of the good in Huohuo's life.

"Oh... thank you, Miss Black Swan." Huohuo said softly, gratitude evident in her tone. "I'll make sure to keep this safe."

Found Family!AU *Christmas Edition* Pt.2

Imagine Opal dealing with Madam Boss and bby Giovanni

Gio learns all his baking skills from his Aunt Opal

But his mother hated her sister with a passion

So he doesn’t see her often

When Madam Boss dies, it’s a bloody gory mess, he’s the first one to call her

“I have a son.” Is his hello, because I’m not making Giovanni and utter asshole in this AU he’s going to love Ash from a distance and actually steps down from Team Rocket the first time Ash stops him

And Opal is like, “P l e a s e let it be with that Female Kanto Trainer you brought to Galar that one Christmas, she’s such a sweet heart.”

And Opal finds out it is!!!

She puts her foot down on choosing the name bc Giovanni is fucking HORRIBLE with names and Delia was so tired and stressed a lot during the pregnancy to the point she couldn’t get a lot of shit down for the baby’s

Ash forces reluctant Grunkle Kabu to come to Alola for a week to meet up with extremely reluctant Grunkle Nanu

NANU AND KABU ARE EX-BOYFRIENDS

And Ash doesn’t even KNOW

Acerola kinda knows bc there’s this one picture her Uncle Nanu has at his desk at the police station next to a frame of her parents, him, and Acerola as a baby

She never commented on it and catches Nanu either looking at it with such a warm smile or either a really pained look in his eyes

it was a friendly split up

Both got to busy

And just had to let go

But it still hurt them a lot

ALLISTER AND ACEROLA ARE GHOST BESTIES

No but I’m expanding on the relationship of Bby! Ash and Gary with the older Head Chairman, who I’m naming Diego Thorn, and Younger!Rose, and finally Younger!Kabu

I’m hc that the Chairman BEFORE Chairman Thorn was named Theo Grass

So it’s kinda like earth, grass, thorn, then rose

Because it’s the pretty things in life that are truly poisonous

grumpy Grunkles are getting back together with the help of Ash, Gary, and the Ghost baby’s

the only reason why Kabu is considered a Grunkle is because both Ash and Gary seemed to have fucking LOVED him so much and he fathered Delia a lot since her own family was shit

So he’s the honorary Grunkle while Nanu IS Ash’s Grunkle bc yes tf Nanu is Giovanni’s Uncle but he’s really distant so he never actually found out Ash was his great Nephew until Ash at the age of 20-something came stumbling into his police station with wide whisky brown eyes and shocking black hair and a jaw line that seemed to familiar that Nanu could never forget

Chairman Thorn ALWAYS Came down from his work place, dragging Rose and his own assistant/secretary, Milly, to see bby Ash and Gary bc he’s a really big family man and the two boys absolutely adore him as much as Thorn adored them

And Delia was so afraid at first that Opal would nearly be/ or just plain be the same as Madam Boss and hurt the poor girl but it’s quite the opposite

Opal spoiled her SO HARD, she was the one to make sure that Delia and Gio had everything they could need for Bby Ash’s arrival and afterwards

And both women found out that they share a deep love for winter in general

So they start small traditions that they then pass down to Ash and Gary, because the Oaks get sucked into this bc Professor Oak can’t say no and Daisy loves Delia like the mom she barely remembers

And Opal is just like “Yes more great grand babies.”

And she was there for Delia when Giovanni left Ash and Delia, yes she was absolutely ROYALY pissed at her Nephew, but she also knew why Gio did what he did

Because he did the best thing to protect her, Ash, and by extent the Oaks as well

Because he fathered Gary and Daisy as much as Delia mothered them

But it because a tradition to bring the kids up to Galar to see Graunty Opal and Grunkle Kabu and spend the second week of December all the way to a week after New Years there

So like almost a whole month of family lovin’ time

BUT IMAGINE BBY ASH WADDLING INTO THE GYM FEILD AND CLINGING ONTO OPAL WHOS TALKING TO LEON/RAIHAN/OR BOTH BEFORE THEIR GYM BATTLE

AND SHE NEEDS TO GRAB SOMTHING BUT ASH IS CLINGING ONTO HER LEG SO OPAL JUST S C O O P S HIM UP AND HANDS HIM OVER TO THE TRAINER(S) AND IS LIKE “brb gotta go get some stuff before hand” AND JUST L E A V E S THEM THERE WITH BBY ASH WHO HAS JUST STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS AND HAS FALLEN SO HARD IN LOVE WITH POKÉMON

Raihan would just inwardly panic bc he’s never been good with baby’s before

But damn OH DAMN does Leon start bouncing Ash up and down while trying his best to answer Ash’s questions because he absolutely ADORES children at Ash’s age and wants to get better bc his mom and dad are thinking about having another kid and he wants to be the BEST big brother that he can be

Then Gary waddles over bc he couldn’t find Ash and Gary’s suppose to stick by Ash’s side to make sure the younger boy doesn’t get hurt

Raihan would start to panic even more bc there’s TWO babies now

But Leon would be ecstatic because there’s T W O BABIES NOW

HHH SO THEN COUSIN LEON BECOMES A THING

BUT ITS A SHORT THING BC ASH HAS TK GO BACK HOME AND HE DOESNT SEE LEON ANYMORE

but then he comes back with Gou in tow and the first part of the HC happens and then he sees Leon again

And everyone just watches Leon gush’s about how Ash and Gary were so cute as toddlers and then Ash recalls and just screams “COUSIN L!!!!” Because as a Bby he couldn’t pronounce Leon’s full name

And Hop is like “w h a t”

BUT ALSO IMAGINE NEWLY GRANTED GYM LEADER PIERS BEING BROUGHT OVER TO OPALS HOUSE FOR CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS BECAUSE HIS FAMILY IS S H I T AND HE MEETS ASH AND GARY

DELIA KINDA SUBCONSCIOUSLY BECOMES A MOM TO PEIRS DURING THAG MONTH AND ASH IS LIKE

“Y A S ANOTHER SIBLING!!!!!”

And then Piers gets abducted every year until Delia and Ash stop showing up bc their busy with work/traveling

Until, again, Ash comes back with Gou in tow and Gary gets guilted to come up to Galar

And he sees Piers and just gives the man a cheeky smile and then sees Marnie kinda hiding behind Piers and thinks “Ah yes, new sibling #5,437”

And Marnie latches on faster to Ash than Piers has seen her ever do to anyone else bc she’s been grown up on the wild things Ash would get Piers and another boy into before he stopped coming back to Galar every winter

Bede also gains Brotherly Love bc his family kicked him out for being trans and Ash was having NONE OF THAT bc he’s trans himself

I’m thinking about having Ash and Gary together since this AU is kinda like my AM!AU but not really

Still debating on that

But no My favorite part has to be the competition between all the League officials, except Rose bc he’s an asshole, to get the best seasonal themed picture/video with the trio bc OF COURSE Gou is immediately adopted into the family and becomes Ash’s little sibling

Even people like Allister and Bae get into it

Like there’s a picture Melony took for Allister that had Ash lofting the boy up so he could place the star on the small Christmas tree at their gym lobby with Gou and Gary helping to place other decorations on it

Or Bae’s selfie of the Trio with her together with a snowman that looks like a certain Galar Champion, stolen cape and all

Gou fears for a while that they were all just being awkwardly nice about it until Kabu find them out at night behind Opals mansion they were staying at and gently nudges the truth towards them that they actually LIKE having Gou with them and participating with their family shenanigans and other shit and that they ARE family now because do you honestly think Delia is going to let go of you know? Because she sure as hell hasn’t let go of Kahuna Nanu in Alola

God when Ash brings all his friends who don’t have Good Families over it becomes even more Chaotic

Opals like “WHAT DO YOU M E A N YOU NEVER BAKED COOKIES UNTIL THREE IN THE MORNING?????”

And Lillie and Melony talk about ice types over a cup of hot coco why Allister, Bae, and a shit ton of other people are loosing their mind over Silvally because it can change TYPING W T F GLADION

and Ash is like “oh it’s Silvally!” And Gary would be intrigued but Ash literally shares EVERYTHING with him so he can meet the Pokémon another time when Gladion isn’t so bombarded by people bc the blonde was so used to people in Alola who are used to seeing Silvally that he forgot Alola is definitely not like everywhere else

Hhh Serena, May, Dawn, Zoey, and a bunch of other girls talking with Opal, Oleana, and other female League members about fashion and the younger girls find out that the Women watch their performances religiously bc Ash flippantly said something and that got them interested now they can’t stop watch them

IRIS AND RAIHAN DUKING IT OUT ON THE BATTLE FEILD BC IRIS SAID HER DEAGONITE IS STRONGER AND BETTER THAN RAIHANS FLYGON AND HES LIKE “B E T YOU TINER FUCKER!!!!”

RAIHAN DUKING IT OUT WITH DRAYDEN, because he’s still cousins with Delia in this AU, AND W I N N I N G

So it’s canon, from the new Pokémon game app, that Iris is Leon and Hops cousin

So now Leon just rounds on Ash and is so confused bc Iris talked about this one boy name Ash with a Pikachu who acts like such a kid over face time but Leon didn’t make the connection it was THIS Ash she was traveling with

Hhh snuggle piles in the living room after a fun day outside building forts and what not

Like Ash is dead center in the kids pile bc he’s a kid at heart and Gary’s legs are thrown over his shoulder a bc Ash is in a blanket fort/nest with the other younger kids while Gary is pressed between Delia and Daisy

Opal is curled with Serena bc she’s currently getting deets in the fairy world in Kalos

PROFESSOR OAK TALKING TO MELONY ABOUT ICE TYPES BC HE USED TO BE AN ICE TYPE TRAINER BEFORE COMING KANTOS PROFESSOR

All the younger trainers are so focused on the movies as the adults just talk quietly in the background

And Gou is laying over Ash’s lap while on their phone and Ash doesn’t say anything even though his legs are falling asleep

Idk I’m gonna have Lance as Delia’s brother in this AU

But that doe NOT stop him from acting like Ash’s uncle because Ash ripped Lances two titles out from under him in three years

Leon has been Champion for 20-something years instead of the in game 10 Years

So that it could be plausible that Trainer!Leon and Bby!Ash/Gary could meet each other

Princess and the Pea: Chapter 2

// Wowie wow wow finally another chapter. I really like this one lol but of course I can improve! love y’all for sticking around, and I hope you guys like the little picture i gave ya ;) anywho hoo boy this is a longer one //

Warnings: like, one swear word?

Word Count: 1197

Prologue // Chapter 1 An unsteady breath escaped the newly freed Y/N, who stared up at the tall apartment building that had been her home for the past two years. She clenched her keys tightly, relishing in the sting of the cold metal against the palm of her calloused hand. A rusted motorcycle trailer was hitched to the back of her truck, holding the product of her latest paycheck: a refurbished backlighted hot pink and black Suzuki GSX-R750. The sleek cycle wasn’t unfamiliar to her; it had been her mother’s before it was hers. Y/N had learned to ride on that bike, with her mother close by her side.

Y/N swallowed the growing lump in her throat and waved to Sienna, who was watching from the steps of the apartment building. She hopped into the driver’s seat of her car, shoved the key into the ignition, and drove away from everything that she new.

`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

The girl drove without stopping, determined to start over before the heartache and homesickness set in. She blasted her favourite songs, screaming singing along as she drove along the interstate. After about 5 hours, she spotted the town’s iconic sign.

“‘The Town With Pep’?” she thought, skeptical. “Interesting nickname.” She sighed and continued, following the GPS built into her truck. As she pulled into Sunnyside Trailer Park, her skepticism only grew. The trailer park, and the area surrounding it, seemed oddly out of place, compared to the more picturesque northern side of the town. Y/N raised an eyebrow as she drove through the park, spotting at least twelve people wearing the same, yet somehow familiar, snake-embellished leather jacket.

“Great. Just what I needed. A sprinkle of gang violence.” She mused, finally pulling up to her designated new home.

If she had to be honest, the trailer was surprisingly well kept, both outside and inside. The exterior walls appeared to have been power washed, and to her surprise and delight, empty gardening boxes hung from all ten windows. The interior looked as if it had been recently swept and dusted, and the two bathrooms were impeccably clean. She did a quick survey of every room, eyes widening at the amount of furnishings the home already had. The master bedroom held a queen size bed frame without a mattress, two Nightstands, and even a walk in wardrobe. Three other, smaller bedrooms decorated one half of the trailer, which must have belonged to her aunts and mother when they had lived here during their younger years. The living room was made up of a sturdy but soft couch, with a weathered TV stand sitting proudly across from it (without a TV, of course). Other than the basic kitchen and bathroom necessities, the rest of the trailer was hers to decorate.

Satisfied with her survey, Y/N breathed out heavily through her mouth. She hauled her many boxes into the middle of the living room, deciding finally to throw her clothes into her closet and worry about decorating later. After haphazardly hanging up and folding her clothes, the brunette decided to explore her new town. She shrugged on her weathered brown motorcycle jacket and grabbed her helmet, fitting it snugly onto her head before clipping the strap in place. She gently tugged her bike out of the trailer, swung a leg over it and started it up, getting reacquainted with the familiar cycle. She gripped the handles tightly, then hit the gas and sped off into the heart of the city.

After driving on the winding road for a while, she spotted a bright neon sign in the distance, advertising some kind of diner called Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe. She pulled into the parking lot and cut the engine, slinging the strap of her helmet around her wrist. She smiled amusedly at the number of other bikes parked next to hers, the thrill of motorcycle racing returning to her veins as she looked over the sleek cycles. Her stomach interrupted her musings with a growl, reminding her of the reason she had stopped in the first place. The mouth-watering scent of fried food invaded all of her senses as she stepped over the threshold of the diner. A small bell rang gently above her head, alerting the people inside of her presence. A stout, portly man, who she assumed was Pop, stood behind the counter and sent her a small genuine smile.

“Hey there, I’m Pop Tate. Anything I can get for you, dear?” he asked, his voice gravelly but kind. Y/N smiled gently back and surveyed the menu. “A burger and fries with a strawberry shake, please.” she said finally, her stomach rumbling in agreement. Pop nodded and turned into the kitchen, informing them of her order as she took a seat on one of the barstools.

While she waited patiently for her food, the young woman scrolled through her social media and texted both Sienna and her mother, telling them that she had arrived safe and sound. While her calloused fingers slid aimlessly across the screen of her phone, she heard the tinny sound of the door’s bell and felt a presence walk up beside her.

“Hey Pop, I'm here for the usual pickup,” said the person, taking a seat beside her.

She heard a noise of affirmation come from Pop Tate, and glanced up at her new neighbor. She had to crane her neck to get a full view of the boy who towered over her, even as they both sat. He had smooth, dark hair, a single curl rebelliously hanging in front of his forehead. An angry-looking snake tattoo was inked into the soft skin of his neck, the image matching the emblem on his worn leather jacket. Hooded chocolate brown eyes stared back at her, a smirk playing softly at the corners of his full lips.

“Like something you see, princess?” He said playfully, his smirk now full blown and wide, the corners of his eyes crinkling in amusement.

A pale pink tint filled Y/N’s cheeks, but she didn't break eye contact. A smirk of her own found its way onto her painted red lips.

“Maybe, Skyscraper. But, alas, a tall drink of water seems to have blocked my view. Not that I'm complaining,” She winked and he let out a small chuckle, a smooth, deep sound that shook Y/N’s very core. Pop Tate appeared suddenly, and slid Y/N’s order over to her before handing the boy a few brown paper bags.

“The usual for you and your boys, Sweet Pea.” Pop quirked an eyebrow at him. “Making new friends?”

The boy, whose name was apparently Sweet Pea, smiled again.

“Maybe. But I do think I'll eat here, this time.” He glanced over at Y/N, that smirk still ghosting on his lips. “The boys can wait.”

It was Y/N’s turn to laugh, before she turned her attention to her food. “You won't get a word out of me until I've eaten, Beanstalk. I came here for a cheeseburger and I'm going to eat my fucking cheeseburger.”

Sweet Pea raised an eyebrow and pulled out his own cheeseburger from the bag. “For you, princess, I’d wait an eternity.”

// Yay reader has finally met our bby boy Sweets. we love 1 (one) tall serpent. also i relate to the reader because i too, just want a fucking cheeseburger that’s all good night //

Some Lord of Shadows Thoughts, In No Particular Order

I think Jace’s name is in this book more than Kieran’s which is obnoxious. Also every appearance of his was prefaced by a multi-sentence description of how gorgeous he was. This did not stop even when he showed up purely to be a dick to Kit. I officially hate book Jace now. He’s drunk the Kool Aid and he’s part of the Shadowhunter establishment and he’s insufferable so thanks for that book. ‘

Shadowhunters are a cult. Full stop. Sometimes it seems like the book has started to recognize this but then it backtracks and goes back to glorifying them. They’re so rich, they’re so pretty! Like, yeah, but they’re also super racist and hugely regressive and directly responsible for the suffering of thousands. Sure, they do some good along the way but so does Salvation Army, they’re still BAD. Look past all the glitter and propaganda and they’re just magical thugs who haven’t gotten past the middle ages and at this rate never will. The Blackthorn kids are better off without them.

Kit is probably the most sympathetic person in the entire book and I do want him to run away and set up a pawn shop in Ohio? Save him from everyone but especially Jace.

At one point his face was described as angular though, which makes me wonder if CC has seen a fifteen year old ever. You do it once, it’s justifiable, but most teenagers have a bad case of the baby face and saying other wise is ridiculous. This cheekbone addiction is getting out of hand.

This book was so ridiculously heterosexual. Like, just such a pervasive case of unfortunate and tragic heterosexuality. So casual. So pointless. Magnus first gets brought up as “glittery”. One character thinks in all seriousness that you only get one dad. Gwyn is painfully straight for no apparent reason when faeries should and previously have been all sorts of flexible. It’s just... bad.

The centurions are all kind of awful and I didn’t bother to learn their names.

That being said, I did like the focus on Diana. She’s beautiful and amazing and brave and I love her.

This is just blatant apologism for what happened to Anselm Nightshade. You set up a situation like that, you deal with the consequences of it, you don’t wimp out.

The kids went to Faerie together and I am glad for that. They did just kill of Iarlath with no fanfare, but now his headcanon bf are chilling together and we got some follow up on Malcolm’s faerie ties so I’m not too mad about that.

“Her old tutor, Katerina.” God, where’s my Katerina spinoff. She has gotten no lines ever and because of that I love her.

I do like anything with faeries very much but it could afford to be a little less fantasy and a little less chaos theory. The rest is just an issue of misplaced expectation. Obviously I like some of my interpretations better (killing girls is so stupid and outdated, an actual curse dooming him to have fifty sons all the time is maybe a twist) but other than that, nice worldbuilding, solid writing.

Faeries! Gosh, I just love them so much. Faeries all the time, that what I want.

The Unseelie King is super interesting. His kids are more trite, but hey, I love them anyways.

On a related note, have I mentioned how much Gwyn just wants his big dumb teenagers to be safe and happy? Kieran and Mark aren’t even twenty and they need to take care of each other and not die. What a quality Faerie Dad.

Some times these kids act dumb but i do not begrudge them it on account of them being children.

The book got good about halfway through, which I appreciated. Kieran my sweet bratty boy, Nene the enigma, the courts, this is some good stuff I appreciate.

What I did not appreciate was the killing off of Arthur. Like, come on. You’ve already done a disservice by magicking up your mental illness, you don’t have to kill him off too. A much more straight forward solution would have used the fact that Malcolm and Annabel were technically married, have his death revive her, then have confused Annabel and her angry zombie husband coming after the Institute, then Annabel realizing what was really going on and turning on Malcolm. Less in between steps. Failing that, ancient aunt they mentioned last book.

Mark, Miach, darling, in fairness, the Seelie Queen’s lover very much did kidnap you. She was kidnap complicit. Don’t be trusting her. She absolutely had Sebastian’s baby.

Memory loss plots are rather boring, but I recognize they do something for some people, so it might just be a cup of tea situation. Enjoy your memory loss then, friends.

The Kieran/Mark/Cristina plot is juicy and I do like that but I want More Diana and Helen and Aline back and Answers first, you know?

One of the downsides of these books being about Shadowhunters is that it always comes down to the Shadowhunter heroes fighting and killing the irrational villainous Downworlder hordes which is Unfortunate. That conflict with Barnabas could have gone so much better.

People need to stop trying to brainwash Kit with this Herondale stuff. People don’t go around calling me by my great-great great grandmother’s name and expect me to sit down and take it. Sure, we’re technically related, but that’s not how convention or basic politeness works. Your name is what you are raised with and more importantly it’s what you choose. His name is Kit and he’s a Rook until he decides, on his own without the constant pressure of adults, to be something else.

As an extension of that? All these callbacks to the other book? They’re getting old and frankly more than a little annoying.

Jessamine died in 1878. Edgar Allan Poe died in 1849. I’m telling you guys, the timeline just doesn’t line up. She wasn’t even born when Malcolm was young and building his house.

Kieran is a very impulsive boy who is already too invested in his Shadowhunter bf and gf. I don’t make the rules.

I tried not to read too much into the Disaster Children literally burning down a church and having a weird intimate moment but they really are a mess. No laws, no holy lands, nothing but family, and nothing comes before family. I’m much more invested in them when they’re tearing down the establishment and making terrible toxic Wicked Powers choices.

AIRMED WAS THE DAUGHTER OF MANNAN. This is basic people. Do your research.

See, the memory loss plots always backfire unless you come clean. Lying never pays, kids.

My Diana theories are more or less confirmed which I appreciate, thank you very much.

I do very much wish they’d at least had the decency to leave bby Morgenstern a bby, that or go all the way and age him a few decades so you had a fifty something year old claiming to be Clary’s nephew. Much better than this cliche storm.

I recognize that Annabel got a short shift in life, but so did Malcolm, frankly. The fact that he gets a life of torment and a horrible death at the hands of one he loved while she gets to wander off and live happily is a little concerning to me. Why do Downworlders not get to be happy? Downworlders, and Arthur Blackthorn, apparently, aren’t allowed to live nice, non-tragic lives, but pretty young Shadowhunters can get away with anything. At this point I would have preferred a disappointing end for Annabel. Get that good tragedy going. The Blackthorn’s clearly have a bad case of the Gothics they need to fulfill.

Oh. OH. There we go. There’s the Blackthorn drama I crave.

My sweet girl, my sweet girl Livvy. She’s coming back as a ghost, isn’t she?

So that’s about five hours. My record holds. The book wasn’t bad, it was just sooooo long. I feel like it could have used a ruthless editor with a really good grasp of the classics to clean things up a bit. Didn’t make me laugh as much, but that might just be a result of my evolving sense of humour. Drama got good nearer the last half of the book. There was some nice stuff in there. Overall, not a waste of five hours, and I’m not mad. Just please, someone de-brainwash these Shadowhunter children. They’re in a cult. Someone needs to tell them that they’re in a cult. Save Kit, he’s getting pulled in as well.
