Summary
May usually considered herself a good gift-giver, but year after year, there was one person that she consistently couldn’t find a good-enough gift for. May loved her fiancé and the life they shared, but Drew didn’t make gift-giving easy.
Or, a short and sweet oneshot for all of your domestic holiday fluff needs.

Summary
Moving across the country to a town she’d never been to with no backup plan had to have been either the bravest or dumbest thing May Maple had ever done. But she’d certainly done it, for better or worse. Her life was now in shades of rust-colored dirt and crimson sunsets, with the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. Life in Oak Ridge was everything she’d wanted- something exciting, something new, something worth chasing after.
She hadn’t anticipated the abundance of horses or the eclectic townsfolk, though. She especially hadn’t anticipated the run-down house, the ride-or-die friendships, or the weekly horse riding lessons with a certain green-haired someone.
Only one thing was for sure- she’d wanted a change of pace, something new, and she’d sure gotten it.Or, a modern Wild West CS AU. Contains feel-good friendships, a home renovation side quest, horses, and a lot of flirting.

If It Hit You in the Face by Zestyzigzagoon

Summary
“May, I don’t think you’d know flirting if it hit you in the face,” Drew stated simply, amusement shining in his eyes.
“What? Yes, I would!”
He smirked and raised an eyebrow. “Are you absolutely sure about that?”
“I am absolutely sure,” she mimicked, “That I’d know flirting if it hit me in the face, yes. Though, you’re the one who knows all about getting hit in the face, huh?”
He laughed, a bright sound that broke through the morning silence; but it was shortly followed with a sharp wince of pain. Drew looked back up reassuringly after a moment, meeting May’s concerned eyes. A small smile lingered on his lips. “Yeah, well. Whose fault is that, hm?”
Or, a stray snowball. A bloody nose. Idiot teenagers. An underpaid Nurse Joy. A soft conversation. Ensuing shenanigans. -

Summary
May is an energetic magazine columnist who walks into a bar, but in lieu of a punchline, she finds a pesky couples-only policy in place for Valentine’s day that prevents her from entering. Drew is a stranger who has a cynical outlook on romance, but the joke’s on him when he finds himself volunteering to be May’s date for the evening so that she can get in and get her article written. It’s just a single fake date. A work obligation, really; a one-evening-only performance that neither of them will have to attend ever again.
But the acting’s coming a little too naturally, even after the curtain call.
Or, a fake dating fic in which a chance meeting with a stranger, a brief agreement to be partners in crime for the evening, and an unexpectedly real spark begins to blur the line between facades and fondness. All the world’s a stage, and method acting is dangerous business.

Morning-After Melancholy (Reprise) by Zestyzigzagoon
Fandoms: Pocket Monsters | Pokemon (Anime)
15 Sep 2024

Summary
It was a cold, rainy morning that well-suited Drew’s mood upon waking up alone again.
Rain pelted against the window in steady rhythm and a wet chill hung in the air, seeping into Drew’s skin through gaps in the disheveled covers. The occasional rumble of thunder interrupted the piercing silence of the morning. His room was dark, and any light that came in through the windows somehow made everything feel darker in the grey gloom that it cast.
He took a deep breath, feeling the cold morning air enter and exit his lungs. The scent of fallen petrichor and fading perfume filled his senses.
The morning-after was always the hardest.
Or, a reimagining of an old fic of mine in which Drew muses on the life that he wants and the things that keep him from it. Largely prose.

Summary
When middle-class Gym Leader's daughter May Maple wins a coveted internship with the Hayden Corporation, Hoenn's unofficial royal family, she is thrust into a world of impossible glamour and unspoken rules. Navigating the cutthroat world of the ultra-rich and elite is hard enough, but doing it under the critical eye of the heir, Drew Hayden—a man as impeccably tailored as he is emotionally closed off—and his family, is a trial by fire. [AU; Contest/Ikari/Poké]

Summary
"What began as random meetings between the two of them eventually blossomed into orchestrated ones. Before long, she found herself awaiting his name on her phone screen, awaiting his knocks on her door at the ungodliest of hours. She’d welcome him into her sheets to chat, or not chat. Ultimately, they’d wind up stifling laughter together at some twenty-four hour diner, at an hour when the difference between night and morning was blurred and debatable."
A prequel to The Hoenn Resort, where we see Drew and May navigate living together for the first time as Dawn and Paul venture into new territory, all before those fateful radio tickets were ever won.

Summary
May is only one ribbon away from winning the last contest she needs to qualify for the Grand Festival in Sinnoh. At every contest thus far, a single red rose was thrown from the crowd into the stadium. She desperately wants to believe that Drew is the one sending these to her, but she knows better than to dream. She hasn't seen him in eight years - their goodbye in Johto wasn't meant to be forever, at least not to May. But what other explanation could there be...?
