Halcyon hit 1,000 kudos!!! \o/

So to celebrate, I wanted to write some flashfics! Here's a timestamp meme:

Give me a timestamp: sometime in the future after the end of Halcyon, or sometime in the past before the story started, or during the story itself. In response I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

I'll try to fill at least five of the requests I get!

If you have other ideas, questions, thoughts about Halcyon—or requests for flashfics set in the Halcyon universe that do not follow the meme format—please also leave a comment! I'd love to hear them!

There are also a few fic memes I'd like to fill out for Halcyon that I'll get to later today. When I do, I'll edit this post and add them here! ♥

Thank you so much for all your support of Halcyon and of my writing in general. I don't have words express how much I appreciate every comment and kudos I receive. I'm so grateful, it just means so much. I'm especially honored to know that some people have read Halcyon multiple times. ;A; Thank you so, so much!!!

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.

Title: Halcyon (1/5) DNftST #85 (Let Go)
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 3,573 (this chapter); ~32k (total)
Genre: Romance, Drama, Character Study
Fandom: Pokémon
Pairings: Green/Kris, Green/Red eventually, implied pairings
Warnings: Ignores fanon, alcohol and drinking, friends with benefits, pining, strained family relationships
Summary: Sometimes the sea itself is a gift. Sometimes the gift is something it brings you.
A/N: This is the last fic in a series of unrelated stories revolving around water (Nest and Harbor were the first two). This completely ignores/rewrites fanon so don't come in here with any expectations. Green is also a lot closer to his PokeSpe characterization here, but he's 24 so maybe he's just more mature? This fic is illustrated—full size version and artist credits are at the bottom of each chapter.
