    Summary

    “A pig,” Mira deadpanned with all the sarcasm her scrawny, fifteen-year-old, voice-cracking self could muster. It was quite a lot, all things considered.

    “Boar,” Celine corrected.

    “You want us to hunt down and kill a pig.”

    “If you survive, you will learn to summon your sacred weapons from the Honmoon.” Celine pulled a glowing sword out of thin air, which was so fucking cool that Mira almost, almost, didn’t register the first half of the sentence.

    “Wait, survive?”

     

    Hunters did a lot of weird shit in the name of tradition, and it was unclear how much of it had been distorted over time. Except this was so weird that Mira was convinced there was no sacred initiation rite and Celine might just be a little bonkers.

    Either way, between Zoey’s smarts, Mira’s stubbornness, and Rumi’s… Rumi-ness, any challenge placed before them should be a piece of cake.

    That's what Mira thought, at least, until she saw the Murder Pig.

    They were all going to die, and it was absolutely Celine’s fault.

    A really, really dumb prequel to Hindsight

    Summary

    Didn’t I tell you already?… He had no idea how to say that in Kalosian. “I say that…” Ash paused for a moment, trying to think of how to use his limited vocabulary.

    “You said that before?” Bonnie corrected.

    “Yes!” Ash nodded. He wasn’t actually quite sure if that was exactly what Bonnie said, but it sounded correct enough.

    “Is that in Unova? I— never — Pallet Town— far.” Bonnie rambled as she started playing with Dedenne's ears. “You know— people —so— for — Unovan!”

    Ash paused as he tried to comprehend what she said.

     

    or, Ash and his relationship with language

    Summary

    And he’s good at Kalosian, too, usually. Sometimes he has to ask his friends to repeat what they say, especially Bonnie, because she talks really fast, and Clemont, when he starts talking science, but for the most part he gets what they’re saying, which means a lot, because no one ever taught him that, not the way they did with the other languages.

    But right now, they’re all talking around the fire and he can’t understand anything they’re saying. Their mouths are moving and he catches the odd word here and there. Tierno makes a joke and everyone laughs.

    Summary

    Homecoming AU.

    Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.

    So he leaves.

    Simple.

    Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.

    And that’s when things get complicated.

    This time, Ash is going to be himself. That's a promise he made to Professor Kukui.

    That's very interesting to some people.
