Summary
In a brutal war, the Pigmasks invade Nowhere Islands and destory Tazmily. Lucas, having lost everything, flees his home and starts a new life in a foreign country. Lucas learns he can read people's thoughts, and from an early age, he knows his way through the hallways of the mind. How will he deal with those abilities and those who pursue it no matter the cost? This is a story of loss, healing, and bonds.
This is a rewrite of a fic I wrote ~8 years ago.

Would kudos this multiple times if I could. Strong, memorable characters with a setting written with great care. This author is one of my biggest writing inspirations, and I've enjoyed learning from their craft.

Previously favourited this on FF.net, still remains one of my favorite M3 one-shots. Enjoyed this author's other M3 and Pokemon works as well.

Summary
Gold's slide from promising new champion into mediocrity. Somehow, he's okay with it, even if he's walking away with more than a few bumps and scrapes.
He might be far from perfect, but he's doing better than Silver and Kris.
...According to him, at least.Series

Bookmarker's Notes
My favorite depiction of Gold/Silver. The author brings this AU to life while skillfully weaving in canon in-game references. Gold's thought processes are also a delight to read as he grows and matures.

One of my favorite character analyses on Lucas. I love how this author writes Lucas's struggle in a very human way in this fic, and can't recommend this author's works enough.

Summary
At the age of thirty-three, the Masked Man, lead commander in the army received a letter informing him that someone had news about who he was, his origins, and wanted to tell him about The Boy Named Lucas, whom he killed years ago. In a world where resistance forces were few and far between, and with his interest piqued, he opted to investigate, only to discover the painful truth of his origins before the military took him in.
A story about the Masked Man living in a Bad End of Mother 3, learning how to become human again by entering a world where he can make amends.

Extremely underrated. The only mother series fic that has made me cry (so far). Though incomplete, this remains one of my favorite character studies of Claus, with beautifully-written emotional beats.

Summary
Being forced to relive memories, facing an antagonist beyond comprehension, and almost dying were pretty par for the course in Lucas's universe. Meeting new people was as well, but there was something about being unwillingly dragged into a battle nobody knew existed that brought even people from different universes together.

One of the best depictions of Ness/Lucas I've read. All the smash kids are lovable, well-rounded characters, and Lucas's interaction with his family is always a gem to read.

Summary
Lloyd's partway through growing up in the suburban town of Thanksgiving.
He doesn't have friends. The other kids at Twinkle Elementary bully him, and he's perfectly content to devote all of his free time to studying science instead.
That resolution crashes and burns like a failed rocket when a skinny kid in a bandana declares their friendship and then drags him further from home than he ever thought he'd go.
Somewhere along the way, Lloyd learns a few things about friendship, family, and the different forms love takes.- Words:

One of the best M1 retellings I've read. The child protagonists sound their age, and despite the plot following canon, the way events are framed feel character driven. Hope to write as well as this writer one day.
