Hi there, it's nice to meet you! The name's PhoenixLyric, but I also go by PL to shorten things when necessary. There's not much to say about me here- just a girl who loves teaching music, playing music, the Enneagram (1w2 club!) and writing more than almost anything else.

I'm a huge Pokemon nerd and most likely always will be- the games played a huge part in my childhood and I spent many, many hours curled up with my DS, marathoning Diamond until the battery ran out. Fire Emblem is my other video game love, stemming from a chance purchase of Awakening in 2013.

When I'm not writing, you can find me hibernating in a coffee shop, having a one-person dance party while singing at the top of my lungs, stress-baking snickerdoodles, or attempting to learn new instruments with varying results.

Psalm 92:1

Works in Progress:

Primary Intentions: A rewrite of Primary. I'm out of FanFiction retirement to give these characters and this plot the treatment it deserved-- Primary needed far more than what I was capable of when I started writing it seven years ago, and I'm having a blast jumping back into this project. The first chapter will be out by the end of July 2020, with weekly-ish updates to follow!

Completed Works:

Primary: Three years after Ash Ketchum and Aurian Borealis vanished without a trace, they return on a G-Men mission to an international tournament to watch for strange activities under the aliases Red Aronshu and Blue Katrian. The pair come face to face with inner demons, ghosts of their pasts, and outer enemies in a dire struggle to keep their primary intentions secret. The threat of Team Rocket looms above all, sending the aura-bound patonai into a race against time to dismantle a plan capable of destroying everything they hold dear. What will Ash and Aurian lose first- their battles or their lives?

Zero Hour: A short one-shot detailing the twelve hours leading up to Ash and Aurian's deployment to Sinnoh.

Plotlings: (Potential Fics, yet to be planned or written)

Lucky Sevens: a Phantom Pokemon Thief Seven rewrite. What would've happened if Hiori was the one they kidnapped, not Lily?

Auxiliary: Max, Maddie, and Noah team up and decide to tour their first Region together. Shenanigans ensue when Jirachi shows up.

Hiatus:

As It All Fell to Pieces: Everything was going incredibly well for Ash Ketchum, who was on cloud nine after placing Top Four at one of the most notoriously difficult Regional Leagues in recent history. Nothing could have been worse for Aurian Copland, who was on the run after a nasty family secret shattered her heart. When Ash showed up in Sunyshore City with a Darkrai claw-shaped gash in his chest and Aurian arrived with more questions than answers, the unlikely duo wound up under G-Men protection at their headquarters. After a flurry of false accusations from the League, Ash and Aurian have no choice but to join the G-Men, picking up the pieces of their past along the way. Prequel to Primary.

Secondary: It's been two months since the Global Grand Invitational, and the G-Men's prodigy patonai are back to work in the Kalos Region. Ash and Aurian's newest mission is to investigate Team Flare uprisings while posing as new trainers. The remnants of their last mission hang over their heads with every step they take- Cabot's coma and Lysandre's mysterious creed are the tip of the iceberg. The patonai come to realize that the second time around could be even more challenging than the first and that Team Flare isn't what they appear to be on the surface...
