    Summary

    "Slowly, she turns around, prepared to explain-

    But whatever she had been about to say gets stuck in her throat the moment she turns.

    In the center of the room there is a girl, kneeling on a plush futon, smiling sweetly at Akutagawa. Her chin-length hair is silver, the top half piled into an intricate updo surrounding her face that reminds Akutagawa, fleetingly, of a shimmering halo. Her kimono is white silk, embroidered with silver and lilac threads which loop across the fabric to paint mountain scenes, swirling clouds, and bright crescent moons. The obi, tied in a grand bow in front, is silver, and the front of her kimono is opened slightly to reveal lacy black lingerie underneath.

    Akutagawa stares.

    Rashoumon warbles, interested, along the seams against her skin."

    Or:
    After a chance meeting on Akutagawa's 21st birthday, she and Atsushi start to grow closer as they meet for weekly tea sessions. But Akutagawa's search for the mysterious white tiger leads them to face off against Yokohama's organized crime scene, the inner workings of the Tsushima-kai, and their own pasts.

    Summary

    *Re-upload, formerly "Frozen Reign"... or maybe "Freezing Reign" I don't remember*

    Three years after the events of the Crown Tundra DLC, Peony returns to the region on holiday with Peonia and Gloria, seeing a respite from city life and publicity; however, as the three each try to escape their own problems, they only seem to find more to be worried about. Back in Freezington, Peony starts to recall strange things about their last visit, and finds himself confronted with an odd-looking yet familiar Pokémon.

    Meanwhile, after years of receiving no contact, Oleana manages to track a recently released Rose to his childhood home in the countryside. Finding him beaten down and largely ally-less, she decides to take things into her own hands.

    All the while, dark clouds gather above the Max Lair as odd rumblings emerge from its depths...

    *This story is told in a hybrid comic-text format.

    Summary

    Momo Hayashi starts her second year at Gekkoukan High with the goal of finally getting Kirijo-senpai to notice her.

    The problem? She has horrible luck, only reliably knows how to talk about her obsession with Kirijo-senpai and giant lizards from the Cretaceous period, and one of the two new transfer students in her class is pretty much the only person who talks to her on a regular basis—and only because Momo had signed a deal with the devil for information on her crush. Send help.

    OR:

    Mitsuru Superfan and the story of how spilling leftover beef all over one of the new transfer students results in a series of events that accidentally lands her the wrong girl. (One who she really, really hates at first.)

    Summary

    The guard had mentioned the name of the cafe, too. Laughed over it. He'd called it Leblanc, and Akira had grabbed at the name of the place that could have been his home, the place that represents the difference between having freedom and not, and keeps it tucked in close to him. For long nights in a dorm-cell with no windows, and for moments like this when he desperately wants to be anywhere else.

    Akira Kurusu is arrested for assault. When his proposed probation falls through, he's locked up for the year instead.

    And elsewhere in Tokyo, in a world that Akira knows nothing of at all, someone called Joker teaches a group of Phantom Thieves how to change a heart.

    Summary

    "Dear Miss Summers,

    Thank you for your application to the Littleroot Young Champions' Initiative. Eager new trainers like yourself are what make the future of Hoenn bright! Regrettably, our supply of starter Pokémon is limited, and so only a handful of applicants can be selected for this program. Your scores do not qualify you to receive one of the three…"

    A dull ringing rose in her ears. She scanned and re-scanned the last sentence, as though staring at it would make it change, but it still said the same thing: "Your scores do not qualify you to receive one of the three starter Pokémon."

    Well, there it was, the answer spelled out in black and white. She wasn't good enough, and that was that.

    ---

    Hayley Summers is determined to become a champion. She didn't count on getting a rebellious fire hazard as a starter Pokémon, the class weirdo as a training partner, or a pair of ecoterrorists as her personal adversaries, but—what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? And in the world of training, that's starting to look very literal.
