Final Tally: 18,585
Verse: Gen. V Black/White game, pre-storyline and during-storyline
Characters/Pairings: N/White, Anthea, Concordia, Ghetsis, Cheren, Bianca, Alder
Rating: T for safety
Warnings: Spoilers for the plot of B/W
Summary: A collection of scenes portraying the relationship between N and White (Touko, Hilda) from their meeting to the end of the B/W storyline. Also includes headcanon flashbacks of N's past. The focus is a deeper, more emotion-based look at the plotline of B/W and N and White's relationship. The Pokemon games are great, but as they're games, they can't go as in-depth into the characters as, say, the manga does. So that's sorta what I'm trying to do here. I'll be crossposting this to FFN (kittykatloren) eventually. I'm so excited for this! Please let me know what you think of the story.
