I collect fandoms like a magpie and hoard them like a dragon. I am over 20 but under 30.

Quick little update for my fanfics:

I'm on AO3, and I've locked them so only registered users can see and comment on them.

I hate to do it, especially because there are so many lovely guest viewers, but the bots are everywhere and I'm trying to reduce the number of them that interact with my fics.

AO3 uses an invite system if anyone would like to make an account; it can take a few days, but they will get to you eventually. :)

I really am sorry for denying the guest viewers access to my stories, but until the bot plague is dealt with I'm afraid they'll have to remain locked.

Update to an update:

The AO3 stories can now be accessed by everyone! You don't need an account to view or comment now.

I hope you all enjoy what I've written! :)

Welp.

Little Lost Things chapter 12 is gonna take longer to get finished.

I've decided to completely scrap the initial direction it was going (typical work day for Colress) and take a completely different one instead:

I'm introducing Grimsley and Schwarz to Colress' tiny son N. :3

Half-Chozo Colress!

His mother is a Chozo and his father human - Lusamine and Darach are his half-siblings.

He’s, like, eight feet tall and a Pokémon magnet. His height is also why his “labcoat” looks so strange; it’s cobbled together from whatever materials he could get his hands on, usually curtains. (It’s also hard to sew when you’re a giant, hence the rather scruffy stitching. But it does its job!)

His height and physiology is also why his hands and wrists are covered with scars; no gloves will fit him, and he has no idea how to make some himself.

He’s fluent in Galarian (English) and Chozo, and calls Grimsley “Nightingale” in Chozo!

His first Pokémon is the Porygon seen here - it was a gift from his mother.

He’s absolute pants at battling, and kind of lets his Pokémon do whatever they want in battle. (He jokingly refers to himself as a walking first aid kit. XD)

He eventually meets Samus, and they immediately consider each other kin.

Very intelligent, but a bit lacking in social skills.

Wears a device that disguises his half-human heritage when out during the day, but eventually develops the courage to start walking around without it.

Is very warm and soft because of his feathers.

Although the Chozo genes dominate, his human half shows itself in more subtle ways. (E.g. barely visible pupils, which Chozo don’t have, and slimmer shoulders.)

Would love to try surfing with Grimsley, but he is unfortunately too big, can’t swim, and would sink like a rock because of his feathers.

Loves plants and gardening!

He does have ears - they’re just hidden beneath his head feathers!

There’s more stuff I have in mind for this AU, but I’ll stop chattering for now - this post is getting long! XD

Thoughts? :)
