I Didn't Understand Déjà Vu 'Til I Met You by Duckkey
Fandoms: DCU, Young Justice (Comics)
02 Oct 2026
Summary
Kon's mouth dropped open comedically wide. He looked at the girls in shock and cried out, "I didn't make your hot-guy list?"
"Chillax, Super-Baby," Cassie chided as she laughed before wriggling her eyebrows and teasing, "You made the top ten."
"Top ten?" Kon reeled back in offense, "This 'Jim' dude makes top three and I make top ten?"
That would've felt more satisfying if Kon could be bothered with remembering his name. Not that he would know it was his name, of course. Ugh, not that any of this mattered.
"Tim," Cissie corrects and the same time Cassie insists once again, "Top four."
Kon is already making his way over to Bart and reaching for the phone, ordering, "Lemme see this guy."
Tim really did not have to be around to hear what Kon thought about the attractiveness of Tim Drake.
~
When his friends start debating the attractiveness of his civilian identity Tim thinks it'll be a quick conversation that gets dropped after a day or so. It probably would have been, too, if Superboy didn't end up meeting Tim Drake. Suddenly, all Kon wanted to do was talk about Tim. It's a shame he never talked about Robin with that same gleam of want in his eye.

It's the same damn thing, that made my heart surrender by hoe637282
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
“I have to go,” Draco blurts.
Harry blinks at him, clearly caught off guard. “Er...okay,” he says, glancing around as though trying to locate whatever he’s missed. “Did something happen?”
Yes, Draco thinks miserably. I’ve just realised I want to kiss you, and worse, that this is the second time I’ve had that thought, which is entirely unacceptable and requires immediate removal from your presence.
***
In which Draco’s greatest enemy is a chair, Gryffindors are confusing, Unspeakables are even more so, and Harry Potter is becoming a problem. It’s a good thing Draco is above frivolous things like love. Right?

Summary
Obi-Wan was hurt. He was bleeding and wouldn't wake up. Little Anakin, only recently freed from slavery, went to the cockpit of the ship to send a distress call. He took a deep breath, then, as steadily as he could, spoke into the transmitter. “We need help, please. I don’t know where we are and we need help. Is anyone there?”
The distress call was answered and it changed everything.

Summary
Fifth year is supposed to be about O.W.L.s and surviving Umbridge. Instead, Harry’s biggest problem is puberty betraying him. Ron gets taller, Neville gets sturdier, and Harry stays exactly the same. Then Draco Malfoy walks past him half undressed, and Harry’s entire life falls apart. With Sirius offering the least helpful advice in history, and Malfoy suddenly impossible not to notice, Harry has to survive hormones, humiliation, and the slow, painful realisation that he might actually like the worst possible boy.

Summary
"WhereamI?"
His words are slurred. He can't remember what was the last thing he was doing. How come he's staring face to face with an unfamiliar kid?
"In the hallway."
"Yeah, which building though?"
The kid tells him the name and his head feels like it’s splitting as memories come back. This is the house where Tim used to live. Damn.

Jason ends up in wrong time. Meeting the 8 year old Tim and taking care of him is not what he's supposed to do in a situation like this. But that's what happens.Shelves: DC Comics

Summary
Stiles Stilinski is a spark and fulltime Pack Mother. Oh yeah, and he's also Derek Hale's boyfriend. Busy life.
Featuring: Isaac Lahey, Scott McCall, Erica Reyes, Vernon Boyd, Jackson Whittemore, Lydia Martin, Allison Argent and Derek Hale.
Anthology containing:
He's perfect for you (or so does Uncle Peter say)
Stiles comes back to Beacon Hills to find that his best friend became a werewolf.
What should he do with Scott and the rest of the Pack?
Adopt them, of course.Sex me up (not really... what about cuddles? I love cuddles)
Stiles Stilinski and Derek Hale have been dating for a month, and Stiles is worried that the sex needs to happen /right now/.
Girls night (plus Isaac and Stiles, damn it Lydia!)
Isaac likes make up, and really, that's okay.
Jackson Whittemore is more than just a kanima (or so does Stiles say)
Jackson is worried about something, and Stiles is there for him.
Derek is a very good boyfriend (but is he top or bottom?)
Derek needs Erica to help him find a present for Stiles.
Erica is a little shit.Boyd is my fave pup (I bet you say it to all of them)
This is just cake baking with Boyd and Stiles and thinking about next year.
Lydia you are strong (also you are TOTALLY one of my pups)
Lydia doesn't feel like she's good enough for the pack.
Stiles tells her to think again.comic-con
However, it wasn’t like Derek could say that he had absolutely no interest in going, not with the happy smile on Stiles’ face. The only problem was that he knew nothing about the Marvel Universe or the Avengers in particular.
What if someone asked him a question and then he ended up embarrassing Stiles? What if he clapped at the wrong thing, or agreed with a cast member who played a character Stiles did not like?
Stiles probably wouldn’t care, but it would be embarrassing and, one way or another, Erica would find out and then give him shit for the rest of his life over it. That couldn’t happen.
So, over the next few days, Derek did something his teenager self would have been ashamed of him for doing: he marathon-ed every piece of content on Marvel and the Avengers.
or: Derek prepares to go to comic-con with Stiles
[#avss day 3: Embrace your geekiness day]

3. Do not flirt with Stiles Stilinski, unless you want his boyfriend after youSterek Halinski Fandom (the four perverts, the penitent and the corrupted soul)
Isaac is finally invited to join the Sterek Halinski Fandom, which is captained by Erica Reyes herself. What an honour!
Embarrassing Relatives (more like fucking terrifying)
"I know we’re supossed to love our families no matter what, but my uncles here are pretty famous for killing people like my boyfriend? Should I just forget to mention it?”- Stiles inner dialogue
Trust (everybody gotta learn it)
The pack goes through some rocky spots as, by accident, they set free an ancient and evil woman like monster.
Who just happens to be mad at Stiles because he burnt out her eyes.
Which brings the question: why did Stiles burn out her eyes?
And why did he ever go to New York?D's of life (Dick and Death)
Stiles and Derek's first time.
Or at least, the first time that countsChristmas Daddy (Merry Birthday Sourwolf!)

Stiles: *leans into mic*
Stiles: Goodbye, you little shits.
OR: Stiles tries to go grocery shopping with the pack. Key word is 'tries'.

the hale pack goes to the beach: cue beach volley, road trips, sweating, swimming, pining and very bad singing.
More than one way to say I Love You (OHANA MEANS FAMILY)
The school erupted in chorus, and everyone started running towards the exit, but even though the noise was deafening, all Stiles could hear was Boyd’s voice and the tangible relief in it. “We did. We survived high school.”
A soft Mess (makes a Dirty Mess)
Stiles makes a surprise appearance in Derek's classroom and they're Soft, then Dirty.

Summary
Jason was not the biggest fan of Tim, but it was clear that he didn’t hate him anymore. And if he didn’t hate him anymore, Tim could get him to love him. Right? Right?
By his own carefully determined calculations, Tim could achieve this goal in 90 days or less. Day one started tomorrow morning with a surprise breakfast donut and an invitation to go watch the birds. Look out Jason, here Tim comes.
Or that time Tim was determined to be brothers and Jason was determined to be resistant and confused.

Summary
Harry Potter’s life is going well in the aftermath of the war.
Sure, his house is dark and run-down and might hate him (while his house elf definitely hates him). But other than that, things are good.
Except, yeah, okay, Hermione and Ron are no longer on speaking terms. Worse, they keep trying to get Harry to pick sides. But otherwise, Harry couldn’t be happier.
Well. Except for the fact that Ginny is being super weird about their relationship and never wants to have sex or talk about the future. But other than that, Harry is perfectly fine, thankyouverymuch.
At least, he is until Draco Malfoy sues him for ownership of Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place.
Then Harry really isn’t fine at all.

Summary
"Five years of dating, one year of friendship, and dozens of proposals. That was how Tim and Bernard’s relationship had gone so far.
Sometimes it’d been Tim, with little rings made of flowers he’d found on the edge of a sidewalk or of the paper straw covers they’d get at burger places, and sometimes it’d been Bernard with milk tabs and key rings. Some of their fake rings had been candy and some had been literal garbage.
They’d both pretended to get down on one knee. Both gave stupid, silly proclamations of how much they loved and worshiped the other.
It still felt unbelievable that, this time, the ring Tim had ready to order was real."

Patterns Anthology by HelKat
Fandoms: Linked Universe - Fandom, The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Warriors
20 Jun 2022
Summary
The journey from strangers to teammates to friends to family is hard when opening yourself up means risking the pain of unintentional mistakes. Heartfelt apologies may go a long way to mend those hurts, but being mended doesn’t always mean repaired.
A single loose end could undo everything all over again.
Anthology containing:
Unraveled
"These reports of black-blooded monsters are a grave concern. Link, I implore you to leave my side, if only to look into this matter on my behalf. I'll stay here so you don't worry, and I'll do all I can to assist you. Please, be careful."
Zelda had requested his assistance, so Link set out to learn what he could to about these strange new threats. Encountering heroes from the past was a surprise, but it gave him hope to have friends by his side.
He did his best to hold onto that hope, but that is harder than it should be when his first impression isn’t all that great.
When all is said and done, Link - Wild - must decide if the Heroes of the Forgotten Past are worth opening up to.
Counting Measures
She’s an ancestor, Blue declared.
Vio could tell, She’s definitely a descendant!
I’m pretty sure she’s another timeline version, Red hummed.
Maybe she’s not even a Hero of Courage, Green wondered. Perhaps she’s of Wisdom.Four was determined to do better with Linkle than he did with Wild. He was certain they all were, doing their best to be politely curious and cautiously aware of what habits she was showing them. They were going to be a team this time; if some painful self realizations were necessary, so be it.
Joining on the Ridge
Warriors learned most of his hero skills in battle. How to lead, how to comfort, how to defend, and how to distract. How to be a good leader and a better comrade. He learned as fast as he could for his country, and for his Queen, and for the children heroes that were summoned to help him when he was not enough on his own.
Those skills failed Wild, but he will still learn. He refused to fail this new hero, Linkle. He will be open and willing to listen when asked for help even when help cannot be asked through pride or uncertainty.
Faced with grim news from home, Warriors started to recognize how out of practice he was when it came to asking for help for himself.

Summary
Sometimes you need to walk away from a relationship that is no longer enough, leave your job of twenty years to work in a coffee shop, and meet the right person at the right time on an anonymous dating app."…I've always done what everyone expected from me, haven't I? I became an Auror, married Ginny and made my happy little life with sunshine and picket fences and everything the Saviour deserved."
"You say that like you didn't choose that, Harry," said Hermione stiffly. "You never had to do any of that."
"Yeah, well. I'm choosing not to now, aren't I?"
But when things go wrong, you just need to leave it to Fate.

Linked Universe Fics Anthology by AideStar
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, The Legend of Zelda: Four Sword Adventures, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords
31 Oct 2021
Summary
Just a series for all my LU fics!
Anthology containing:
Five Times Wild Did Something Wild (and One Time it Didn't Work Out)
“Wild, no.” Twilight whispered, gripping his shoulder, but Wild merely smiled.
“You don’t trust me.” he stated, smile unwavering. Twilight bit his lip, glancing between Wild and the enemy camp. There were half a dozen armed and dangerous Bokolins just waiting for them to come within range, but Wild’s grin made it seem as if the idea of being riddled with arrows excited him.
“I don’t know what you’re planning, but it can’t be good.” Twilight said instead, earning him a huff of laughter.
“You’re no fun, Twi.” Wild simply said, only confusing the other more.
“That is a camp full of bloodthirsty Bokoblins, Wild! There is nothing ‘fun’ about it!”---
Thank you for 1000 kudos!! <3
Every Man Dies Alone
Wild was a skilled fighter, brave and selfless. Sure, he was reckless and at times unreasonable, but everyone had their issues. The group wasn’t concerned about Wild as much anymore, even though the younger still exhibited few self preservation skills. He would hide his injuries, refuse potions, and sneak off into the forest at night and be fine in the morning. No one else noticed, but Twilight worried.
The Sun Will Come Out
Everyone kept telling him not to worry so much, that Wild was capable, that he’d be back soon. All Twilight could think of was the scars painting his cub’s body from his last adventure, of the frequent nightmares, lost memories, self doubt. They’d made progress, but Wild was still only a kid. He wasn’t even nineteen yet, and already had faced more than Twilight could comprehend. If Wild’s first adventure broke him, Twilight worried this one might shatter him.
---
Wild leaves the group for another adventure, and returns very different.Tomorrow
A bright green light flashed, and Wild turned to see a body of mummified skin and bones resting atop a platform, dark eyes fixed on Zelda and arm glowing bright with runes. Wild's heart leapt into his throat as the figure lurched forward, arm reaching for Zelda's frozen form.
Wild didn't think--he stepped in front of Zelda and raised his right arm in defense.
Wet and Wild
“Do you not want to talk about it?” Twilight asked slowly.
“You’ll all find out soon enough anyway, I might as well tell you.” Wild sighed, eyes focused on his boots. “I’m sorta, kinda, maybe dating the prince.” Wild mumbled quietly, shoulders tensing as he finally admitted it.Legend Has Two Hands
Marin bit her lip to hide a smile and Ravio looked as if he were about to laugh. Legend somehow became even redder, raising his hands to hide his face. As if on cue, Ravio swung his legs over Legend’s lap while Marin leaned in closer, and both placed a kiss on each of Legend’s cheeks.
Scars
“You okay?” Wild asked, and Warriors snapped back to the present with an apologetic smile.
“Yeah, I’m…” Warriors hesitated, and Wild tilted his head before sitting down in the sand beside him. Warriors let out a sigh, lowering his head and watching Wild from his peripheral. “How do you do it?”
“Do what?” Wild asked, and Warriors felt himself beginning to blush as he realized what he was about to ask.
“How are you so confident? Your scars…” Warriors trailed off with a huff, feeling like a jerk. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be asking such a personal question.”
Wild was quiet for a moment, staring out at the distant forms splashing in the water. “I wasn’t always comfortable. With my scars, I mean.”Throwing Shade
Four had a feeling the minute he returned to his Hyrule things would get real weird, real fast, and there wouldn’t be much he could do about it. He held onto hope that maybe, just maybe, his boyfriend wouldn’t be the dramatic idiot he was and wouldn’t emerge from the shadows like some kind of evil villain in front of a group of heavily armed and trigger happy heroes. He hoped that Shadow would have a scrap of common sense not to jump him the minute he came back. He prayed his secrets wouldn’t be revealed against his will, but he had a feeling all his prayers would be for nothing.
You Can't Buy Love but You Can Rent It
No more taking pity on Mr. Hero, even if he was handsome and selfless and his best customer. No more, or Link might realize he had a crush and never come back, or worse, spread a rumor about Ravio’s willingness to cut a deal if he liked someone. It would be horrible for business, so he swore to himself up and down that night, laying in bed as Link’s kiss still tickled his cheek, that he would never bargain again.
Warriors Shouldn't Have Done That
Legend hid his face in his hands, cursing Warriors under his breath, while Hyrule seemed to shrink in on himself with a bright blush and a horrified look on his face. Wind slumped over the table, his ears bright red.
---
Or, Warriors' flirtatious attitude leads to Wind and Hyrule discovering some things about themselves and Legend is tired.I Am He..?
“Legend, can I ask you something?” Hyrule whispered to the older hero, their eyes briefly meeting as he got his attention. “Ah, but, you have to promise you won’t tease me about it…”
“Sure thing, ‘Rule, what’s on your mind?” Legend raised his brows, and Hyrule looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before he continued.
“I’ve just been wondering, what’s a gender?”
---
Hyrule doesn't know what gender is. Unfortunately for him, the other heroes aren't much help.Hero Through the Ages
“Do you know how old you are right now?” Twilight sighed, letting himself fully sit as the last Moblin fell behind them.
“I’d say about seven… maybe eight years old? Physically, that is.” Wild eventually replied, clenching his small hands into fists.
Twilight's eyes widened in surprise as he looked the kid over again. Wild was small, sure, but eight years old? He’d been fighting with perfect form just a few minutes ago, and the way he was responding to things, the way his hair was cropped short…
“Wild, were you training as a knight at eight years old?” Twilight couldn’t help himself, the fear of knowing the answer not enough to stop his curiosity. Wild jumped slightly at the question, but instead of becoming sheepish, instead of appearing at all upset, he simply cocked his head in question.
“Is that not normal?”
---
Wild gets hit with a spell and turns into a child, but he's not as wild as the heroes expected.The Point of No Return
This was underhanded, cruel, unspeakably evil. It was very much something Dark Link would pull. And Four hated that it worked, he hated that he couldn’t even bluff indifference. Now that Shadow was here in his arms Four would do anything to keep him there.
Dark’s grimace returned in full, knowing force.
“I’m listening.” Four sighed, and Shadow whispered a stream of refusal in his ear that he tried his best to ignore.Experimental Equations, Or The One Where Wild Uses Glitches
“It’s called a wall clip. No idea how it works, but if I shield surf at just the right moment while jumping towards a wall I can pass through it.” Wild explained, before a haunted look replaced the grin. “Or get stuck inside. That’s not very pleasant.”
Twilight didn’t want to know.
---
The group ends up in Wild's Hyrule and Flora shows up with some "experiments" she wants to perform. Cue Wild using glitches and Twilight losing his mind.To Fulfill His Fate
The hero was dead.
He knew that.
Stupid boy, stop playing hero. You’re just going to get yourself killed.
Link had heard those words countless times across Hyrule. Ever since he’d woken up in that strange stone tomb, voices in his head foreign and begging, ghosts giving him directives, memories long gone poking at the edge of his mind. The hero was dead. He died a hundred years ago.
He failed.
---
Wild travels across Hyrule, an unknown and unnamed rogue dispatching monsters in the night. He has no friends, no family, and everyone thinks he’s long dead.Four Feet of Pure Flirtation
Alright, so maybe Vio had a teeny, tiny, little preference for the brooding type. So what? It wasn’t a crime!
They had the best fashion sense anyway.
And they were hot.
But they were typically villains.
Vio tried not to dwell on these more conflicting thoughts.
---
Four had a problem. Vio liked to flirt. With villains, specifically. It was making his life a bit more difficult than it needed to be, to say the least.Dream With Me
Legend had been gone for months, but Hyrule stayed strong. His friend--his brother--would return. He had to be sure, for both of them, too afraid of thinking otherwise. In the logical part of his mind he knew Legend had more adventures ahead--not just one, not just two. So he would be fine, absolutely fine, and he’d come back and it would be like nothing had ever happened!
But the longer Legend was gone, the more he worried.
---
Legend joins the group after his third adventure but soon leaves to save a mysterious island. He returns a very different person.A Troublesome Habit
“I cannot believe I have to say this,” Time sucked in a breath, immensely tired. “But there will be no more poisoning yourself on this adventure. And that goes for all of you.”
---
The heroes have odd drinking habits. Legend drinks too much coffee, Wind has a flask, and when was the last time Hyrule drank water..?A Shower to Remember
Enter Time, Twilight, Wild, Legend, Hyrule, Warriors, Wind, Four, and Sky to Untitled Group.
TIME
Good Morr’w To Thee, Boys, I Bid Thee Well,
F’r I Cometh To Thee With A Decree.Time hast altered thine name to Father Time.

The boys are invited to Time and Malon's baby shower. They have one week to plan the ultimate prank (or foil it).
Shakespearean-style Chatfic Edition. Yes, you read that right.Lessons in Love
“What do you mean by ‘show me the ropes’?” Legend asked, quick, defensive enough to pass as insulted. Ravio snorted, tasting the hot chocolate, and Legend’s eyes were drawn to his lips once more as if under a spell.
“I mean no offense, Link,” Ravio laughed, seeming not to catch the blush on Legend’s face as Ravio used his name. “I just figured you might want some pointers. Flirting, hand holding, relationship advice, y’know? You don’t have to accept the offer by any means!”
Flirting? Hand holding? Legend gulped.
He was already an idiot. Maybe he could play dumb for a little while longer…
---
Legend accepts lessons in relationship advice from Ravio as he tries to work up the nerve to confess. Unfortunately they're both idiots.Beneath the Surface
What most people didn’t realize, just as they had no clue that Link was four or could shrink down to the size of a Minish, is that pulling the Four Sword did more than just split them. Not just four parts, four pieces of one whole with a color assigned to each. A color and an element, for the blade was not just enchanted--he’d repaired it himself using four Elements, crystals embodying Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth. The Four Sword did more than just split him, it imbued each part with one of the elements, abilities both powerful assets and dangerous weapons.
---
The Colors have elemental magic to use at their will, but it wasn't always easy to control their powers.Too Good to Be True
Something wasn’t right about Warriors’ Hyrule. Legend didn’t want to find out what it was.
He feared he already knew.
---
Warriors' games aren't canon, and all dreams must come to an end.Smoke on the Wind
Wind would never tell the others his greatest secret.
It wasn’t something small, like the details of his first or second adventure. It wasn’t even big, like Time’s markings or Wild’s memory issues, things they kept under lock and key for no one to hear the truth of. No, Wind’s greatest secret was massive; a burden he’d been forced to bear on his own the entire time he’d had it.
Wind knew when someone was about to die.
Forever and Always
Legend's eyes traveled over each word, slowly, savoring the time he had before it came to a close. He reached the end of the page too soon. Legend felt his heart skip a beat.
Please write back soon.
Love,
Ravio.
Love.
No, no, what? What did he mean love?
---
Legend and Ravio exchange letters until a sudden confession forces Legend to confront his own feelings for the merchant.Arrhythmic
They weren’t walking fast, just one foot in front of the other in a line, nothing out of the ordinary. Yet Hyrule’s heart was racing as if they were in the heat of battle. He took deep, steadying breaths as the morning wore on, the only thing he knew to try and calm himself. But he was calm, relatively speaking, and the longer his heart hammered away the dizzier and colder he felt.
---
Hyrule pushes himself too hard and his heart isn't having it.Liminal
The wind howled through the open entrance, drowning out the creaking of the roof. Four flicked his blade once more, and the swish of air nearly covered the shifting weight behind him. He paused, looking back, just in time to see the roof caving in as the support beam gave way.

Second Wind
Four raised his sword swiftly, glinting in the sunlight in multicolored rays.
One body became four, four minds slotted into place--Except when Green opened his eyes, something felt wrong.
---
Vaati is sealed within the Four Sword until the magic breaks, allowing him to burst free. He takes control of Green, and it's up to the rest of the Links to free him before someone gets hurt, or worse.
Ties That Bind
“This,” Shadow pulled out the mirror, waving it around for emphasis a foot from Vio’s face. “Doesn’t work. I got about a hundred feet from those Goddess-forsaken ruins when I started feeling like shit, but when I tried to go back in the mirror--” Shadow waved his hands more, sharp teeth bared. “Nothing! I’m stuck here!”
“That shouldn’t be the case--” Vio began, the pain in his skull lessening enough to let him think. And as soon as he did, the pieces snapped into place, creating a grim picture of his error clear in his mind. “Oh, shit.”
“What? What is it?” Shadow scrambled forward, latching slightly sharp fingers onto Vio’s shoulders. “What did you do to me?”
“It’s actually ‘what did I do to us’, I’m afraid."---
Vio manages to bring Shadow back to the light world, but a small mistake leads to a terrible fate for more than just the two of them... or, an opportunity to strengthen the ties that bind.
Uncanny
He got the feeling that there was something not-quite-right about Four. He got that feeling about Time, a little bit of wariness around Hyrule, too… he couldn’t quite place why. There was something a bit different about the colors of their spirits and the way they held themselves, and like with most things Wind didn’t understand, he figured he would learn the truth someday.
There was something uncanny about him too, after all.
---
Four, Hyrule, Time, and Wind all have something not-quite-Hylian about them. Fae ancestry, blessings, curses, and Deity ties all make them different, in ways that only they can recognize...

Summary
Anthology containing:
The Wallet
Ash has been on the road a long time, and he's made a lot of friends. Serena and Clemont start to realise just what that means for them.
Aura and Partners
Korrina's Lucario thinks Ash knows something it doesn't. Ash was asleep and remains confused, while Pikachu tries to read between the lines.
And finally, it clicks
When Professor Samuel Oak was young, he met and admired a young trainer named Ash. For the last decade or so, he's watched a boy named Ash grow up. The two things surely have nothing to do with each other.
Late night work
Alexa, up working late and in search of caffeine, comes across Ash finishing up some training. She misses a few things.
Venting
Meowth and Pikachu got locked in a cupboard. Pikachu is unimpressed by this, but he's currently unimpressed by a lot of things, so that's normal. Meowth, being the wonderful friendly nemesis he is, decides this is a fact worth exploring.
You know, just for kicks.
As long as no one asks
Jessie, James, and Meowth are not the good guys. And they're not the worst bad guys, despite certain songs and Twerps and other things. Just... maybe don't ask them what they are, either.
So lame
Gary made an idiot of himself in front of Ash, who didn't notice, and Professor Oak finds it all hilarious.
Left Behind
Because Ash hasn't been calling home lately, the family sends Brock to make sure Ash hasn't done something particularly Ash-like in Kalos. Instead, he gets swept up in some typical Ash-shenanigans and has to come to terms with a few things.
Don't be like that
Meowth has gone undercover to infiltrate the Twerps! But Pikachu isn't falling for it, and Meowth is getting distracted. He always knew the Twerp was a twerp, but this is... something else...
What Bulbasaur knows
Before it decided to travel with Ash, Bulbasaur had already seen the worst of trainers like him. He was a little surprised to find out things would be different.
Nice job
Thinking about it later, Brock wasn't sure if he was upset because Ash did it, or because he hadn't even considered it.
Secrets and New Beginnings
For all that she dreams of fame and fortune, Jessie knows she could have been happy to settle down as a small town doctor's wife. It didn't happen, but... it could have.
A Professor and a Student
Ash seemed determined to stay in Alola, and Kukui had a loft going to waste. He'd boarded students before; he didn't expect anything special out of the experience. As it turns out, Ash isn't the only one who's going to be learning a lot this year.
Snippets and fragments of life during Ash's stay in Alola.
Adults but not Grown-ups
In which adults fail to adult, partners don't always communicate, and secrets are kept with varying degrees of success.
A collection of excerpts from season two of Sun & Moon, of 'adults' failing to deal with the unfortunate facts of reality.
Return
This time, Ash is going to be himself. That's a promise he made to Professor Kukui.
That's very interesting to some people.

Summary
The king, Langa’s father, died a year ago. It makes sense to form alliances. It makes sense to strengthen those alliances with marriage. Maybe it’s wrong for Langa to be so apathetic about his own wedding, but he can’t find it in himself to care.
Reki is trying his hardest to be the prince his country deserves, to be the heir his mother can rely on. It’s difficult, however, when everything he does is so far from good enough. He’s also getting married, which is kind of a big deal. He can’t wait to meet the guy.

Summary
"Sorry! I just... I wanted to know..." Midoriya paused and took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. "Can I... have your number— for tennis! In case you ever wanted to practice!"
Todoroki looked down at Midoriya. The shorter boy's cheeks burned as he himself crashed and burned. After what must have been an eternity, Todoroki shrugged his shoulders. "Alright," he muttered. Without even opening contacts, he handed the shorter player his phone. "Just call me whenever you wanted to practice."
