I'm not sure how active the Steven fandom is on ao3 so I'll be posting this here as well.
A fic dedicated to our favourite rock lover and his Pokémon in celebration of 10 years of ORAS (happening soon). Somehow, it kept getting longer with each member.
TITLE: Six Times Steven's Pokemon Took Care of Him...
SUMMARY: "Under their insightful gaze, any threats to Steven, whether external or internal, would be identified and sorted with deft minds."
The bond between Trainer and Pokemon has long proven to be unexplainable by science. Its fortifications are in the smallest of interactions.
TAGS: teen and up audiences, platonic relationships, hurt/comfort, a healthy dose of whump, and protective Pokémon.
I finished the 3.5 quest and I’m so cerysilens pilled now they definitely put some special ingredients in both cerydra and hysilens to make me obsessed with them. So I thought I might scream here a bit since I remembered I have a tumblr account.
Obvious spoilers for hsr 3.5 quest. Lots of rambling ahead.
First, their meeting. The way Hysilens was so lost after having lost her home and being forced to the surface, and it was Cerydra who called out to her, noticed her swordsmanship, and hoped to form a relationship.
And Hysilens’ thoughts omg 😭😭😭 she basically latches onto the first sign of light and warmth (Cerydra), the first sign of succorance from her despair. And her only wish is simply to have a feast.
Can I just say that I was screaming?? She devotes herself entirely to Cerydra because she was the one who extended her hand forward, and Hysilens needed a purpose in her new life. And she latched onto it, clung to it for dear life.
THIS BROKE MEEE. “My fire is dead.” After sticking by and fully entrusting her loyalty to Cerydra, Hysilens is faced with an ultimatum, a shake in the faith. They have a mini divorce arc 😭😭😭 and then tragedy. Ah we love doomed yuri.
And then, the 1000 year vigil. Despite the pain, Hysilens remains guard over Cerydra’s grave, because no matter what, that was *her* Imperator, the one who became her light, who gave her many feasts.
In her lonely wait to pass the baton to the Trailblazer, she had little else to focus on. And so she entered a stagnant slumber where she dreamed of the before.
I can’t add anymore images due to the limit of the mobile app so I will continue with text and add the images in replies.
At the end of it all, we finally get to see Cerydra’s side as well. How she noticed the emptiness in Hysilens’ eyes in their first meeting, how she remembered their promise and used every resource she could to ensure Helektra could witness an ocean unmarred by corruption.
They were doomed from the very start, in every cycle, and it completely destroys me 😭😭😭 I’m not getting over them anytime soon I fear.

Or like actually this kind of shows the success of the code? Obi-wan does not snap and commit revenge killings of innocent people, Obi-wan does not throw aside every moral teaching he has learned, with each tragic loss he does not become possessive of what he has left.
He continues as a Jedi fully entrenched in the light probably because of that Code he adheres to which includes beliefs about what happens after death that are likely comforting to someone who can literally feel the force.
I think he loved a perfectly reasonable amount for a Jedi and served as a counterpoint to Anakin’s failure (facilitated by Palpatine’s manipulation) to comprehend what danger the Code warns against when it forbids possessive love
My first 5/5 limited pair I'm so happy he got the buffs he's needed forever. The only problem is Gym Winona hasn't come home even once in 120+ ticket pulls 💔
