LOOK AT THEM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

this is pretty much canon to me, doesn't matter that it's technically unofficial, I'd love to get my hands on the physical book but it's a comiket exclusive so that's going to be tough. Just seeing pictures of a few illustrations is great though, absolutely love the work and that this really was something they wanted to do, but couldn't for various corporate meddling reasons. I still haven't gotten tired of seeing gay fan art of these girls and seeing semi official art of them being gay just made my day.

Free Fall

Like a spring, Suletta bounced back to standing ramrod straight. She attempted to smile, but it looked strained, like she was trying to hold something in. Like... oh. She looked just like Gladion. Lillie didn't think about it - She looked back at Suletta for just a moment and smiled a small, soft smile.

Then Lillie’s mother, without saying a word, started to walk away, in the same direction they had been walking before running into the stranger. Like clockwork dolls, Lillie fell in right behind her, keeping in perfect step, simply waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Even compared to the strange girl she's just seen, Suletta Mercury, Lillie feels like she sticks out like a sore thumb at these fundraising events. But nothing can prepare her for when Suletta, against her will, is put on center stage, screaming for a mother that never comes.

Some part of her knows then they have more in common than she thought. And that maybe, even someone like her can offer a sympathetic ear... even if it'll risk the wrath of her own mother, and losing what little she still has left.

Read on AO3!
