Franticshipping fanfic recommendation list (at least, the ones I’ve written)

I’ll honestly never be satisfied on what franticshipping fanfic that I’ve written to recommend to, so, here’s an ‘updated’ version as of June 11, 2020.

1. A Ripple in Time

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/19895197/chapters/47122183

Sumamry:  It happened; Ruby managed to use Celebi to travel back in time, trying to stop the biggest tragedy of his life. And while he succeeded, the alternate future he created might be even worse.

A multi-chap fic.

Status: Incomplete (not yet anyways)

What to expect?

=> It involves time travel and the time travel rules are based from DC’s Flashpoint Paradox

=> It contains an original story even though it’s inspired by Flashpoint’s storyline

=> Alternate versions of the characters like Wally, Emerald, Archie, and Maxie

=> Trigger warning: major and minor character deaths, and mild blood

=> Ruby and Sapphire battling together as they should be

=> Possible outtake chapters and alternate endings. If it’s a time travel fic, one ending wouldn’t suffice.

2. What Once Was Lost

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/10209806/chapters/47622607

Summary:  “Sorry wouldn’t fix what was broken, Ruby.”

One-shot.

What to expect?

=> it’s set in an alternate universe. Probably a cafe AU but it’s up to you

=> angst and pain and that’s basically it

3. Drowning His Sorrows

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/10209806/chapters/56664295

Summary: Alcohol wasn’t exactly Ruby’s best friend; he never needed it. He had nothing to do with it. In fact, he hated it. He always believed that alcohol wasn’t always the answer when one has problems. But how come he was yearning for it now?

One-shot.

What to expect?

=> Trigger warning: mentions of alcohol

=> Possibly a college AU but it’s up to you

=>  angst and pain and that’s basically it

4. These Obvious Suspicions

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/10209806/chapters/58920013

Summary: The Johto Dexholders along with Emerald have their speculations that Ruby and Sapphire are dating and all decided to “observe” the two just to find out if their hunches were correct.

One-shot.

What to expect?

=> Emerald and the Johto dexholders ‘observe’ Ruby and Sapphire just to see if they’re actually dating or not

=> It’s mostly focused on comedy. Probably a slice of life/comedy fic. At least, that’s one of the comments said

=> Emerald and the Johto dexholders share one brain cell and Emerald is the one who uses it

5. The Different Paths They Take

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/10209806/chapters/59112160

Summary: "I think breaking up is the best option.“

One-shot.

What to expect?

=> Ruby and Sapphire ‘break up’, but why?

=> Their pet bunny is cute though

=> It’s actually bittersweet once you read it

6. VS Groudon and Kyogre

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/10209806/chapters/59157010

Summary: Ruby didn’t trap Sapphire in the aircar after their confessions. They fought Groudon and Kyogre together, but the outcome wasn’t something they’d expected.

One-shot.

What to expect?

=> Trigger warning: character death

=> It’s an alternate universe where Ruby didn’t trap Sapphire in that air car

=>  angst and pain and that’s basically it

7. Missing Memories

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/10209806/chapters/59204908

Summary: In an instant, Sapphire lost her memories.

One-shot.

What to expect?

=> Ruby having amnesia is a big cliché, in my opinion, so it’s Sapphire turn to have an amnesia

=> Amnesiac Sapphire

=> Amnesiac Sapphire

=> It’s actually bittersweet once you read it

8. Ask the Dexholders

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/10209806/chapters/41950778

Summary: A desperate Ruby asks his fellow Dexholders for a date idea.

One-shot.

What to expect?

=> Ruby literally asked every single one of the dexholder for a date advice. It does not include Sword and Shield since this was published years before SwSh came out

=> He asked every dexholder, but what about Sapphire?

9. Hot Springs

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/10209806/chapters/37141640

Summary: Ruby and Sapphire go to the hot springs.

One-shot.

What to expect?

=> It’s based from @aru_tem ‘s doujin/fan book. It was published on pixiv, but the post was taken down. I assume it’s because of the reposters reposting the art without permission

=> It’s actually not an adult-rated fic.

=> Since I can’t read Japanese perfectly, this is the best adaptation I could provide

10. It’s a Process

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/10209806/chapters/43347506

=> No, not an adult-rated fic.

15. The Onlookers

Summary: Everyone but Ruby and Sapphire seemed to notice how much those two are so into each other. Are they even a couple to begin with? If not, that would be so frustrating

Response

Answer: I feel uncomfortable with people following Fallan because it makes me feel bad and stir up horrible memories. I admit I wasn’t thinking or considering the different opinions or reactions people will have, but I was trying to keep myself sane by not following the same people who follow her. I acknowledged that what I did is wrong and I didn’t think of the consequences; I take full responsibility for it and I’m sorry.

Answer: While I was jealous, I couldn’t control my destructive behavior before. It wasn’t intentional, I should've gotten help before but no one irl was there around me unlike today, and I made her feel this way, so I acknowledge and apologize for it.

Answer: I understand this is a personal problem, and I apologize for bringing it up. But, please keep in mind that we are allowed to vent to the people who annoy us or make us feel bad. My entire personality is not venting about you; I have my own relationship to focus on now and he noticed that I’ve been venting less and less about you. The part that triggers it mostly happens whenever I receive death threats from the people who claim as your friends. It started with one message after our last message three years ago, but it kept on occurring so many times that how could I not panic as well? How can I not know if these anonymous death threats are from her or from her mutuals? I’ve never even sent any death threats like these to her, from what I remembered.

Trigger warning: death threats

Answer: I was banned from specord. I admit I went back to instagram and made a safe space for myself. People are allowed to talk negatively about the people they dislike or the people who hurt them, but I talk about these things privately. A lot of people discuss similar situations such as these, even in public servers, yet why was it not mentioned in the post? Speaking of, that screenshot you got, claiming from a public server, is actually a private friend group server. I believe that was misunderstood, and I couldn’t blame you for misunderstanding, but please have an open mind that I would be banned from a public server if I ever did such things.

Answer: I was advised to tell you to find people who don’t know me so they can easily believe you and defend you to what you do. I understand you want your friends back, but you can’t control people from coming back to you. Isn’t this the lesson you want me to learn? I was punched in the gut when I learned this. Maybe it’s time to accept it and move on. I lost people, you lost people too. It’s part of life, and it’s something we have to accept. It’s weird that this came from me, but this is the lesson you want me to learn. I’m sorry you couldn’t get them back, and I acknowledge that. But, take a leaf from your book as well.

Answer: As I said earlier, I admit and acknowledged that I was like that before. I acknowledged that behavior and realized it was wrong. My emotions got the best of me, preventing me to think clearly and making the right decisions to behave nicely.

Answer: As I said earlier, it wasn’t my intention to do it. I acknowledged what I did was wrong and I take full responsibility for it. It wasn’t my intention, things just went out of hand and I apologize for it, I genuinely do.

Answer: While I don’t have proofs that I actually committed suicide irl, it was never my intention to suicide bait her. I acknowledged what I did wrong and take full responsibility of it. But, I want to make it clear that I did do it more than once irl.

Answer: I’m not sure about her but I have a lot of screenshots of death threats that have been going on for these past years and still going on from her friends. I’ve been in this situation of threats, blocks, etc. While it’s easy to block and move on, I can’t control these people for sending such threats time and time again. If you don’t believe me when I say it’s from her friends, here’s just a few of the many examples of threats I’ve gotten not just on discord but from other social media as well so there’s nowhere I can go  A recent one being after getting a commission gift someone gave me and claiming to take and repost it. The artist was of course upset about this since it was a gift. It’s also quite clear that sometimes it’s even the same mutual sending these. It’s gotten to the point where they even mention attacking me in irl. So, I ask, why shouldn’t I feel paranoid about all these threats?

Trigger warning: death threats

Answer: I acknowledged that what I did was wrong, and again, it wasn’t my intention. I take full responsibilities that I couldn’t control myself. However, I can’t quite graph who’s the “they hated how I was popular”. I remember her mentioning she was popular on tumblr, and she seems quite confident about it so I assumed she was completely okay with people and myself mentioning that. I apologize, but I wasn’t really that annoyed. They were quite popular. I might have expressed it wrongly, and I take full responsibility for that. I’m sorry.

Answer: I could’ve been a better friend too. I could’ve been not jealous. I could’ve been less destructive. I could’ve controlled my emotions. I could’ve done something better, and not the worst things, but that was all in the past. I stopped thinking about my friendship with her last years, and it’s been consistent even with some good changes for myself until I received a death threat. We’re not the same people as we were before, so, stop lingering in the past. You told me to move on, and it had taken me a while to do so, you should do it too. Take a leaf from your own book, and move on too. That’s what I’ve been doing, but the death threats are blocking that path.

Answer: Yes, I do understand that you received criticisms too, but I received criticisms about this situation as well. I’ve been criticized for being the bad guy, too, just as you have, and I have to carry the pain in my back as well. There will always be people who will think you’re a good person or the bad person in situations like these; it’s all black and white. People have different opinions, you can’t control what people will think and criticize in this situation. People will point fingers and one will think you’re a good guy whilst the other will think you’re a bad guy; we just have to accept that. Doing the right thing doesn’t mean you can’t be criticized for it. People are allowed to hate you even if you did the right thing. You will be pointed out as a bad person even if you did the right thing. It’s just the way things are and we can’t control that.

Answer: People have. I tried. I willingly tried to. One blocked me on twitter when I mentioned how uncomfortable I am that they follow you, I wanted to be safe and not make any violent reactions when seeing this. It scares me. I learned to accept that the hard way.

Answer: I only deleted those DMs (parts of it) because I don’t wanna linger in those messages. I wanna move on. I wanna move forward; that’s the reason why I deleted them. I don’t wanna be reminded that I did the horrible things I did my best to learn from and move on.

Answer: I have stopped contacting you ever since I was forced and persuaded to talk to you last December 2018. Let’s move on. Let’s try to be civil and move on. You told me many times to move on, and while I refused at first, I eventually learned and accepted that I should move on. I understand you are still frustrated; I get frustrated too, and I’m sorry for making you feel this way and everything I did.

Answer: This came from a private friend server, not a public server. It’s a close-friend server made by another user when I was banned. They gave me the ownership afterwards because it was “made for me”. I don’t know how you got the screenshot, but please, keep in mind that this is from a private friend server with several people in it. It doesn’t even have 100 people in total, let alone 50 or 40. And, to clear things out, I was like that before, but not now. People change over time, and trust me, looking at this message is making me cringe because I hate the fact that I was like this. I’m doing what I can to change that.

Answer: It’s from a dream; a nightmare, and it’s something I can’t control, especially with all those threats that I kept on getting. I reacted to the situation so badly in the past, but now, in the present, I don’t often get dreams or nightmares like that anymore. Please, understand how sorry I am with these. Long ago, you told me to move on, and I am doing it now. I did do it, but this wouldn’t end if we just continue like this. I understand the things I did were wrong; I acknowledged it. We are all human beings who make mistakes from time to time. We either dwell on those mistakes, or learn from it. It’s our choice in the end. This endless finger pointing has been going on too long now and i wish for it to end. Again, I’m sorry for everything that I have done, but have an open mind that you’re not the only one who suffered from this situation; we both did, and now, it’s time to move on, like you said before.

Hi hello you are such a passionate franticshipper account and I enjoy your content! I was wondering about your fanfic called a ripple in time! Will there be a version where we see Ruby and Sapphire's original selves in the timeline?sorry if this is confusing but can't wait for the next update!

Hi, thank you for the ask!! It means a lot that people notice how passionate I am with my franticshipping content! because nobody notices it and if they do, they disregard it cofcof

For your question, I can't really say for sure. I don't wanna spoil anything but if you're talking about a full-blown fix about Ruby and Sapphire in the original timeline (the one where that event didn't happen), I have no interest so far. Who knows, I might change my mind!! :0

Thank you again for the ask!!

Hi! I understand why you and your collab partner doesn't wanna post your art in tumblr but I just wanna let you know that I hope you reconsider!

We’ll reconsider but as of now, we really don’t want to share our art here on tumblr. We don’t see its relevance. I’m sorry.

I saw your buff Sapphire collab art and your collab account! Do you also go by the same blog name here in tumblr?

@spepoke from instagram and I agreed that there's no point in having a tumblr account for our art collab account. We appreciate that you love the buff Sapphire art!! @spepoke and I have been watching ATLA and LOK lately, which influenced the idea. :D

[cap-cavern]

This took a long time to make, but I'm satisfied with how it turned out. Seems decent. I had fun working on this. ^^

A commission from @Vex!!! Thank you again for the commission!! <3

[cap-cavern]

you don't fucking deserve that franticshipping fan art. who in the right mind gave you that franticshipping fan art. i will repost it and claim it as my own so people will never know it's for you. die you piece of shit you don't deserve franticshipping fan arts.

I didn’t commission the art myself; it was a gift from someone. If you want a franticshipping art that’s exclusively made for you, you should just commission the artist yourself. No need to send another death threat.

Title: A Ripple in Time

Summary: It happened; Ruby managed to use Celebi to travel back in time, trying to stop the biggest tragedy of his life. And while he succeeded, the alternate future he created might be even worse.

Chapter 10 is updated!

Sneak peek:

"The hell happened to you, princess?" Archie asked, changing the subject, but Sapphire remained quiet. He waited, as he ran a hand through his hair. He guessed that she didn't want to talk about it. "Then what were you two doing outside?"

"Getting some fresh air," Ruby responded in a grim tone, folding his arms across his chest.

Wally chortled. "You do know that Hoenn doesn't have any fresh air because of the drought it's experiencing," he informed cockily with a smug face. His eyes went to Sapphire.

"That's enough!" Archie snapped before Ruby could answer. "We're here to discuss Celebi's location and not see who's the big-headed guy."

"Archie's right, girls. You're both pretty, so don't worry about that," Emerald added with a laugh whilst the older teens glared at him.

[cap-cavern]

A COLLAB WITH @akirichu !! She did the line art while I did the coloring!! :D

It was a pleasure working with you. I had a lot of fun!! <3
