Been a long time since I've returned to this side of my tumblr. Writer's block has been an absolute menace in the year of 2025, and I'm fighting my way through it. The pokelover part of my soul says it's time to return back to my roots, back to where it all started with my writing. I know it's been over a year, and so far beyond the time frame I'd given for a new chapter of You are Always Welcome Here, but it is finally in the works. Thought I'd share a small snippet to carry yall and myself through until it's finished and ready to post.
Notes before posting — this chapter will be delving into the Ranger series and will have spoilers for Secrets of the Fiore Temple, so if you haven't read that, be warned before reading on in AWH. We are finally into the meat of the series. Thank all of you for your patience, this fic isn't abandoned, I've just been in the trenches.
