Summary
In the Pearl Clan there was a legend that said the souls of humans that were unjustly killed would come back as Zoroark. They would haunt the land seeking revenge for the cruelty and injustice they suffered through during the final hours of their human life. Ingo had never thought much of the legend. Yet, as he lay on the ground bleeding to death while clinging to the dead body of his daughter that legend was the only thing going through his head. He was dying. His child was dead. Any hopes of reigning his memories, and finding the man in white was gone. Everything had been ripped away from Ingo and his child when they were killed to fulfill the orders of a man fearful of the two strangers from the rift. In Ingo's last moments he is filled with rage and sorrow, and he wonders if this is how the Zoroark of legends felt as they died only to come back as vengeful spirits. He wonders if he will come back as one as well. Ingo and Akari's deaths have consequences for all of Hisui. Without them the rift isn't fixed, the clans relationship with the Galaxy Team breaks, and a Zoroark haunts the land searching for revenge for him and his child. Hisui's only hope lies with a man in white who falls from the rift. A man named Emmet.

Summary
Hypnos was lonely. He had been lonely for centuries now. His mother had severed her connection from him believing that distance would force him to become a self-reliant god. His bond with his twin had crumbled over the years as Thanatos' work consumed all of his time. Even the staff at the House of Hades mostly avoid him. Hypnos hears them whisper about how they would rather avoid talking to him altogether. Hypnos tried to grin and bare it. He tried to keep hope that one day his bonds with his family would be repaired. However, that hope dies with each passing century. When Zagreus starts to attempt to escape from the Underworld something in Hypnos snaps. Hypnos wants to escape too. He doesn't want to be lonely anymore. When Chaos offers to send him somewhere where he can start anew he accepts. What he didn't know was that by accepting he would get sent to another world, have a mind flayer parasite shoved into his head, and suddenly find himself the leader of a bunch of people infected like him. Hypnos is in over his head, but with his merry band of weirdos by his side at least he isn't lonely anymore...

Summary
In Sinnoh there was an old ghost story attached to Mount Coronet. Two ghosts haunted the mountain. One was the ghost of a young girl dressed in the uniform of the old Galaxy Team of the Hisuian age. She walks the mountain paths at dawn calling out for her father. The other ghost was a man with silver hair and silver eyes. He walks along the hiking trails at night calling out for someone named Akari. Anyone he runs into is asked the same question.
“Please, have you seen my daughter? I can’t find her.”
Upon being told no the ghost would continue on his way. Calling out for his child that he could never find. The ghosts of the father and child that haunted the mountain never to find each other was a popular sad tale in Sinnoh. It was also a popular subject for late night ghost hunting shows to cover for easy views. A cheap budget ghost hunting show isn’t how Emmet should learn that his missing brother is dead and haunting a mountain in a far off region, but it is and that one show causes Emmet to drag Elesa with him to Sinnoh to find answers.

Summary
When Giratina started ripping holes into space and time itself it didn’t just create rifts to Hisui. It also unintentionally created rifts to whole entire other words altogether. Ingo unfortunately is dragged into one of these rifts, and instead of going to Hisui he gets sent to the Sword Coast in Faerûn. Worse he’s captured and infected with a Mind Flayer tadpole of all things. Trapped in another world without memories, and infected with a deadly parasite things aren’t looking good. Still, he has hope. He has companions suffering from the same thing, and Arceus blessed him with some druid powers that have a Pokémon twist to them. He also has a goal. Go to Baldur’s Gate. If he does he may be saved, and he may be able to find a way home. However, the road to his destination is long, and Arceus has plans for him to deal with the other things that the rifts have tossed into Faerûn. Add in a growing bond with a certain pale elf, and it’s safe to say that Ingo’s adventure in Faerûn will be anything but simple

Summary
After three years of searching Emmet has found proof that his missing brother has been sent into the past of ancient Sinnoh. He knows where Ingo is. The problem is getting into the past to rescue Ingo isn’t easy. He needs the help of a Pokémon to reach his brother, and finding a Pokémon that can travel through time isn’t easy. Whispers of a mystical flute that can summon the time traveling Pokémon Celebi existing in a far off region called Orre causes Emmet to make the trip there.
According to rumors an evil group called Cipher might know where the flute was, or they might even have it already. That is fine with Emmet. If he has to take down an entire evil organization by himself just to save his brother he will. Luckily, he might not have to do it alone. You are also trying to take down Cipher all while saving every single Pokémon that they stole. Since you both need to beat Cipher the two of you partner up so that you can both achieve your goals. However, that partnership ends up evolving into something more than just a means to an end.

Summary
“A special person,” Jeremy confirmed. He played with the collar of his shirt, and for a thousandth time looked back at the door, with the endless stormy skies beyond that never actually stormed. “I miss him. I’m confused.”
“Yer waitin’ for him to show up, then.” Cyclops said.
Jeremy nodded. “I miss him.”

Summary
“‘Jeremy,’ Fritz breathes, a lump in his throat. The name comes out as a wet little sob. ‘Jeremy, Jeremy. Jeremy. Jeremy.’ Over and over again, until he will understand. Until he’ll remember.”

Miraculously, Fritz’s attempt to bring Jeremy back works.

Summary
Fritz's pulse throbbed through his head, through his ears, like the squelching innards of a pit of magma going from simmer to boil, groaning and crackling with wet, hot rage.
His little baby duckling was across the pond from him, cornered by a predator.
.The Conaghers liked to play with their food. Got greedy. Fritz carries Jeremy out of the intel room, stepping over their remains.

Summary
He was supposed to use you. Feed, manipulate, survive. But when the bite turns intoxicating—for both of you—the lines between pleasure, power, and trust begin to blur. He thought he lost himself and you want to lose yourself in him, but the initial insatiable lust grows into something much bigger.
“Yes, yes. You saved me – now let me help you” you get up tugging on his hand.
“Stubborn little thing, aren’t you?” he grunts but gets up with you “One might think you’re the one starving here” he adds with a seductive smile.
“Just be quiet” you pull him closer as you lean back onto a stone plated cabinet.
He stares into your eyes for a long moment, then finally gives in.
He moves slowly this time. Carefully. One hand brushes your hair back, fingers lingering at your jaw. The other steadies your shoulder as he leans in. When his lips graze your skin, it’s not like before. There’s no rush. No frenzy. Just cold breath. His mouth carefully clasps your neck and he lingers there for a while- silent, still.

Summary
When he’d started seeing her this way, he couldn’t place. All he knew was that one day, he woke up and realized that he was in love with her. The sound of her laugh, the gleam of mischief in her eyes. The way her lip quirked up at the corner when she ribbed him. The feel of her in his arms, her warm weight pressed against him.
After all Astarion had suffered, he never thought he’d find contentment in the closeness of another person. Hells, he at least thought he’d never be deserving of finding it. And yet, she reminded him every day of his worth, and every day he grew to believe it a little bit more. And every day that was good, that he found joy in experiencing the world around him, he had her to thank for. She showed him how beautiful the world could be, and it was like he’d opened his eyes for the first time in centuries.
So, naturally, of course he went and fell in love with her.
