When writing a single story over a seven year period, you inevitably collect a pile of songs that remind you of the project you're working on. This mix is meant to accompany my pokémon gameverse redgreen longfic Halcyon, which takes place ten years after HGSS. It's about Green moving to a lighthouse, finding Red, and making peace with his own past.

The progression of the songs in this mix follows the narrative arc of that story. There's a prologue and an epilogue, and then two songs for each chapter. Many of these pieces talk about or sound like the ocean; almost all of them talk about growing up.

Cover Art was commissioned from the wonderfully talented untamablecosmos.

( But if he weren't the lighthouse keeper, would anyone have been on the beach that day? )

I really like the Mt. Silver period of Red/Green's relationship! It hits on a lot of themes I like: loneliness and pining, love overcoming obstacles, self-discovery through longing. I'll probably write ficlets for these tracks eventually, but for now, have a fanmix.

I never do this, but as this is the result of three months of work (and yet still not done!) and also the longest thing I have ever attempted to write, I would really appreciate it if you'd leave a note or comment telling me what you think of it! Anon comments are on at the fic's comm :)

Title: Metamorphosis
Rating: PG-13 for cursing
Word Count: 4,302
Genre: AU, Romance, Character Study
Fandom: Pokémon
Pairings: Red, Green, Leaf, Ethan; focuses and pairings change with each fic
Warnings: None
Summary: Several AU exercises (fighter pilot, college, rock star, road trip, pokemon researcher, secret agent, modern high school/waiter).
Author's Note: For pokeprompts' May 2012 challenge. Some of these are WIPs/incomplete, but they were all great fun to write :)! You may notice that Ethan's characterization changes wildly from fic to fic; that is because in my head, my Ethan wears many different hats, and I decided to try them all out. Remember: each universe and fic is completely separate from the others, including characterization!

First, request fills that I wrote as thanks for reaching 100 watchers at my old writing comm, and then there are two flashfics that I wrote for some writing exercises the QMi chat did.

Very sorry for posting so much fic so closely together. Surprise travel plans screwed up my posting schedule. At least you won't have to see me for seven days XD
