THE 400 COIN QUEST MASTERPOST

I figured that now that 400CQ is officially over, I would make a small post with all arcs, where to read them (though it’s kind of obvious lmao) and some final notes! You can find the series here! Huge thanks to everyone that’s been with me on this journey, let’s wrap this up! <3

—

400CQ, Part 1: Shadows of the Badlands

Meet Gladion, a man trapped in his hometown, seeking to bring back a family he has lost and forgotten about.

Meet Moon, an assassin aiming for the highest apple in the tree, hellbent in making money to make her secret desires come true.

Meet Hau, a man without a memory, longing to get back all that he thinks he once lost.

What would happen if fate brought them together? Absolute chaos, that's what.

400CQ, Part 2: The Aedus Empire

Gladion is a man of held in impatience, a man of prowess and experience. He has a downright insane assassin and an innocent smiling sorcerer as allies, a pocket full of dreams and a blade sharper than steel. He doesn't have any friends. At least that's what he's been telling himself all along.

But nothing could have ever prepared him for what was to come in the next chapter of his life. Absolutely nothing.

"And it's rich that I, of all people, gotta say this; but we're fucking friends whether you want it or not, got it!?" A laboured breath escapes her. "Scratch that, we're super fucking good friends, you jerk! And if you haven't noticed it already, you got one hell of a problem!"

400CQ, Part 3: The Bowers of Light

Time has passed. At the back, Hau bows his head and cries into his pillow silently so the world can't see his pain. Lusamine is tucked away in a corner, resting. Lillie bites her tongue and cries, swallowing her pain.

Gladion clings to a memento as though that will bring her back to him.

Moon is gone.

And where does that leave Gladion? Alone.

400CQ, Part 4: Lillie's Grand Voyage

Meet Gladion, a man that was once enshrouded in his own demons and has found the family he was looking for all along– and, maybe, something else.

Meet Moon, an assassin that has now achieved her dreams and her hands on a treasure much better than gold: a new family, a new home, and maybe something else.

Meet Hau, the sorcerer that once couldn't move, and now can fly.

Meet Lillie, the princess trapped in her hometown, longing to reach the stars and find what destiny holds for her.

What would happen if fate brought them together? Absolute bliss, newfound feelings and love, that's what.

FINAL AUTHOR’S NOTES:

Soooo holy shit it’s over LMAO

honestly I wish things had gone differently with this fic. As any author, I have my regrets with this fic. I wish I hadn’t made it this long and I wish some chapters weren’t as boring as they ended up being, but it’s a project I’m 100% proud of – I think this might be fic I’m most fond of and it will forever be my favorite in terms of what I’ve written. I fixed a lot of my pacing issues and I learned a lot!! It was an experience like none other that made me see both flaws and virtues in my writing, and I had a blast WRITING IT LMAO

The fic was supposed to finish in march but I had to push the update rates a little further because of studies and health issues that came up with the COVID-19 spread (thankfully I didn’t have anything but I had to push dates and things around a lot). 

Tho I also might post smut so technically I’m not done but AHEM

The fic also taught me a lot about I suppose expectations? I had envisioned this fic being a different experience than what it ended up being, but it’s taught me to not have expectations about anything and have faith in what you write. I’m very happy with the result, and I’m extremely thankful to those who have read until the end, it really takes a LOT lmao

I have projects I’m working on as I speak! I have the SOS AU in the makings and I’m planning another AU, similar in genre to 400cq but very different!! I hope I can fix the mistakes I made in this fic and not repeat them ever again <3

SOOO I will see you guys around!! Stay hydratated, stay safe, and see you soon! <3333

can i hear about those 13 wips you have 😳

absolutely 😳 brace yourselves bc this is gonna be LONG

1) blessing in disguise - alolan movie (multichapter)

- it's basically a plot for an alola-based movie and the pokemon it's focused on is mimikyu bc i love it so much. the concept is kinda about overcoming your own fears (because when you look under mimikyu it's really terrifying right? so it's like seeing your biggest fears) and it mainly focuses on the main cast's dynamic and also papa kukui feels

2) nameless wip - soulmate au (multichapter)

- pretty self-explanatory BUT it's like your soulmate's initials appear somewhere on your body when you turn 10. ofc it's trustedpartner and those two idiots take FOREVER to realise they're each other's soulmates. there's also hints of jellowshipping bc why not

3) before you go (multichapter)

- this one already has 2/3 chapters posted but in the last chapter that's yet to be written (oops) ash meets mohn and gladion meets goh, chloe and delia. also ash and lillie have a Nice reunion bc i've always loved their dynamic and i simply must include it

4) i told you so (oneshot)

- this is prob gonna be posted here instead of ao3 bc it's pretty short but. it's based on this writing prompt i saw where it's like,, write different moments where 'i told you so' is said, so it can be happy, sad, angry etc. again it's trustedpartner

5) nameless wip - game night au (oneshot)

- this one's pretty self-indulgent LOL but it's just the main gang + gladion playing games like super smash bros and mario kart. a lot of cursing going on in there

6) nameless wip - modern au (multichapter)

- modern au!!! the gang are all in highschool and idk,, i don't have much written besides the trustedpartner meeting, a bit of the first chapter and info sheets for the characters. oh but hau plays a big role in this one too!! there's trustedpartner, aquariumplant/bittersweet, and snowlilyshipping

7) nameless wip (oneshot)

- this one fully shows ash and gladion's fight about nebby teleporting lillie to gladion and resetting her trauma. there's a lot of shouting and guilt going on in here and it's pretty angsty but there's also an apology and the two end up having a Bonding Moment (and they fall in love because i said so)

8) nameless wip - proposal/wedding fic (oneshot but possibly multichapter)

- i kid you not this oneshot is 6k+ words and i haven't even reached the wedding part yet.. LOL so it might end up two chapters, or i could slap all 9k words (possibly more) into one chapter like i did with gift you a lovely kiss. i didn't include a lot of the old companions cause i felt like it would be too much to write, but i did include the og gang aka misty, brock and gary!!

9) nameless wip - band au (oneshot but possibly multichapter, depends if i want to turn it into a slowburn)

- basically gladion's in a band with guzma and plumeria called... *drumroll* team skull!! never would've guessed! LMAO anyway gladion sings and plays the guitar, plumeria does keyboard and guzma does drums! but lillie brings ash to see them perform and they end up backstage bc lillie has Family Privileges™ and the gay tension gets THICK. then the two idiots bump into each other outside and all that but i'm still not sure how long i want to stretch out the pining, so we'll see

10) nameless wip - babysitting au (oneshot)

- wow other than the wedding fic i think this is the only fic where ash and gladion start with an established relationship LMAO. but it's just trustedpartner trying to babysitting lei! but because they are absolute disasters it doesn't go amazing,, they still pull it off tho LOL

11) nameless wip (oneshot)

- oh god this is also pretty self-indulgent BUT rmb that episode where ash dresses up as a nurse with the blonde wig and everything? yeah... now take that and let gladion walk in instead... yep. they're gay your honor

12) nameless wip (oneshot)

- this one's not trustedpartner (gasp) but it's actually the prompt by cartoonfanatic101, with zoroark comforting gladion after a nightmare :)

13) nameless wip - scene rewrite (oneshot)

- okay so during the necrozma arc rmb when naganadel appeared and *dramatically falls* and the gang go to help, but gladion resists bc he doesn't want to lose sight of lunala and ub black right? so take that but instead of gladion reluctantly following the gang, he goes after lunala alone like an idiot. and then when naganadel is explaining everything to the gang they hear a loud crash, and in the canon anime it was lunala crashing, but instead of lunala, it was gladion and noivern. noivern protected gladion but he still got injured but like an IDIOT gladion still fights with everyone. then when they come back gladion nearly collapses so ash is all like oh hell no and takes care of him. yes they are in love and yes gladion's stupid

ANYWAY YEAH oh god so many of these are trustedpartner i... if u wanna hear more about a specific wip here just drop me an ask and i'll be happy to answer! or if you want me to work on any of them cause ur more interested in that one then by all means tell me and i'll do it. i actually have more ideas in this google document but i don't think i should be starting on any more so-
