Title: And Miles to Go Verse: Games - III/IV/V Rating: R Characters/Pairings: Green, Red, Leaf, Ethan, Pikachu, Eevee. Established Leaf/Green; other pairings develop during the course of the fic. Warnings: language, some sexual content, break-ups.
Summary: After Red's descent from Mt. Silver, Leaf leads him, Green, and a rather unexpected tagalong on a road trip through Unova. Red is aimless, Ethan wants what he can't have, Leaf hopes for the best, and Green isn't sure where he stands anymore.
Snippet:
The air mattress is lumpy tonight. The ground is harder than usual here up north, and Green is glad for the blanket they bought in Driftveil—and for Leaf at his back, who radiates heat.
She makes a soft noise, pressing closer. Her hand moves along his side, skimming over the soft divot between his ribs and hipbones, and comes to rest on his upper thigh. Green scoots back, feeling her soft shape press against his spine. A kiss is pressed between his shoulder blades, and he shivers lightly.
He opens his eyes. Through a narrow gap in the tent flap, Red's lighted tent draws his gaze.
"Hmm?" Leaf murmurs, feeling the tension suddenly sag from Green's body.
He turns onto his back and Leaf willingly accomodates him, draping an arm across his chest, her toes curling around his ankle.
"Not tonight," he says.
"Okay," Leaf replies. She kisses his cheek, more sleepy than fond, and nestles into the pillow.
Green turns his head and stares at the distant light.

Beta-readers: There are currently no beta readers working on this project, but we are excited to work with one on this! This is being written in the third person limited, present tense, and from shifting perspectives. Since this is a road trip that simultaneously develops the relationships and friendships between each of the four characters, it would be great to work with a beta who has a good eye for pacing and imagery. It would also be great if you have can point out any significant stylistic discrepancies and help find a way to reconcile them, should they exist. Thank you in advance, and we look forward to working with you!
