    Summary

    This whole situation seems like it’s ripped straight out of one of your favorite romance movies. One main character embracing the other in the rain to console them. In this fantasy you can see it ending with the pair passionately sharing a kiss with one another to show their love in the darker arch of the movie. Too bad this isn’t fantasy, though.

    The reality is your old high school acquaintance is awkwardly hugging you in light drizzle while the two of you are covered in mud and grass because you’re a shitty little baby who is crying over the fact that Dave wont let you kill yourself. You’ll make sure to add this one to the ever growing collection of “Things that keep me up at night”.

    *Under construction lmao

    Summary

    n. a moment you instantly wish you could take back, feeling a pulse of dread right after crossing the point of no return—a blurted confession, a hurled insult, a final decision you’d been waffling over for months—wanting to take just one step backward in time, reverting to the way things used to be, in the halcyon days of just a minute ago.

    Sanji confesses his feelings.

    Sanji confesses his feelings.

    Sanji confesses his feelings.

    Summary

    “You don’t know who you are.”
    “I know some things,” Rusty protests. “I know my name is Rusty Ryan. I know I work as a hotel owner, and that I got in an accident last week on vacation.”
    Danny lifts one finger. “You weren’t on vacation.” Two. “It wasn’t an accident.” Three. “You don’t run hotels for a living.” Four, and Rusty’s eyebrows shoot up before he even says it, “And your real name is sure as hell not Rusty Ryan.”

    Set after canon. After he is thrown down a mountain and hit by a train, Rusty survives but loses all his long-term memory. Danny helps him remember.

    Summary

    Blue is Kanto Champion for thirty-nine minutes.

    That’s it. Technically, he’s part of the Hall of Fame, technically he’s an accepted Champion. Technically, the title was his once, so it will always be his. Technically, he can’t lose it. He just loses being the present Champion.

    He also, briefly, held the Kanto record for youngest ever Pokemon League champion. That was until Red, three months younger, caught up to him.

    Really, Blue hadn’t even been surprised.

    --
    Blue loses the Championship, Red disappears up a mountain, and everything that happens afterwards.
