This one is unfinished but it's an AU where Sada built AI Turo after the real one died much earlier than in canon. He has no idea that he's his own replacement and it's heartbreaking (in the best way) archiveofourown.org/works/46951717

BOY DO I HAVE THE SERIES FOR YOU. You like Pokémon? You like robots? You think the robots from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet got a raw deal? Have a post-Violet series that helps remedy that! I also have other stories taking place in Scarletverse, and some about both! archiveofourown.org/series/4052599

Depending on the degree, we can find “light angst” or “heavy angst” (a line sometimes difficult to draw...). When we read angst, we're not looking for sweetness and fluff ! For a short definition: buff.ly/cEFt7hN (en) To learn more about angst as a trope: buff.ly/yxTkFqC (en) 3/3

Angst - Fanlore

Angst is often used in fandom to characterize things which are intended to provoke the feeling of unrest and uncertainty in readers. It generally signifies that the story will be primarily dramatic…

ActuFanfic @actufanfic.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

➡️ The story will often take a dramatic turn and may fall into the category of darkfic. The author will generally develop serious themes, which can sometimes make readers uncomfortable, but the ultimate goal is to touch readers, to place them in a state of uncertainty and unrest ! 2/3
