"Awe..why thank you! I'm so happy to hear that you've enjoyed my writing. Do you happen to have a favorite?"

After cleaning up Marie from her bath, Shauntal remembered that it was a special someone's birthday. She felt bad that she didn't call sooner, but now was better than never! Taking out her Rotom, she dialed @queenlytrainer.bsky.social 's number.

Um..what about me..?

❓️

"I think that can be arranged. We will need to head off to my place, though. It really isn't a good idea to lurk around here. Follow me, please! Oh, I hope you don't mind kids. I have a daughter, Marie. She's four and an absolute cutie!"

"The one and only! Pleasure to meet you!" Shauntal was practically beaming from ear to ear. "You know, it isn't safe to be out here on your own - and before you ask, I'm not here alone. I'm with Grimsley. He had some business to handle."

"Belina, Incinerate.." Blue and black flames engulfed the jeans of all three dealers, quickly moving away from Holly. As they ran off, Shauntal stepped out of the shadows, giggling softly. "Aw, you don't want to play. What a shame.." She then looks to Holly,"Are you okay..?"

(Awe shit. We got Lenora! She was always one of my favorite Unova gym leaders. ♡

(I had a bit of curiosity, and Google did not disappoint. 😂 I was just trying to find works for Lucian and Shauntal, and this is what I got. I can't stop giggling because I have had people ask me what the appeal is to bookshelf shipping, and I'm over here like... how much time do you have??

(In an au where Lucian and Shauntal were actually happy together, and Will was a trolling little shit 24/7. Lucian looks 100% done with Will. Lmao

[ @grimmfates.bsky.social ] Shauntal held Marie's hand and reached out to Grimsley’s. Today was the big day that she would retrieve her freedom. She honestly hated how much Lucian has changed over the years. +

(/ugly sobs MY BABIES. LOOK AT THEM. THEY MAKE ME SO PROUD. ♡

(Even though I've been writing a story plot with Lucian being sort of a baddie, I find myself in the mood to write something with bookshelf shipping. I miss my nerds. Also, I sorta hate how critical I am of how Lucian is written by others. Makes me upsettii when people write him as selfish.

(Gonna do this in a few hours. 👀 Look out for that tea.

She feels the sudden urge to be protective of her daughter, Marie. Ghost mom senses are tingling. She's just going to check on her little one real quick..

"Ohh!" Shauntal found herself staring up at the sky in utter awe. It was a sight nearly taken out of one of her adventure tales. The mix of so many beautiful lights in the sky as the sun was just setting. "This is such a beautiful sight, Grimsley." she uttered softly as her anxiety melted away.

"I don't know if I want to call it bravery but I am glad the interview part is over." She took a deep breath. "Would it be okay if we just..left? I'm not all that interested in mingling with others or the buffet. We can go someplace that isn't over crowded..if that's okay?"

"I-it's fine. Just still a bit nervous about being in Galar. That's all." At least they weren't anywhere near Hammerlocke. Then she would be a total mess. "So, where do you suppose the crew for Kalos Times is?"

She's a bit nervous this evening and it seems that Shauntal is clinging onto Grimsley for dear life. "Remind me again how long we have to be present at this event to count as our attendance being accounted for?"

"The last time I was in Galar I didn't exactly have a great time. Granted, I was traveling alone for a book tour. Thankfully I am with Grimsley this time around. I'm hoping I can have a better experience during the #GalarGala . "

Shauntal and Grimsley for the #GalarGala ♡ @grimmfates.bsky.social

"My happiest memory, huh? I think it would he when I moved back to Unova. Lucian was practically dead to me then and I was ready to move on with my life with my daughter, Marie."

Love falls not like an arrow, piercing and cruel- but like the rain that smothers a roaring and painful fire, bringing calm and relief, a chance for verdant futures to grow again. Blessed be this life giving rain, this breath of life, this blessing named Shauntal~♡

"He might be a smart asset, but he's MY smartass." @grimmfates.bsky.social

"That's reassuring. Thanks a bunch Grims.." She brushes away the remains of her tears, taking a deep breath. "You know, I think the two of us should celebrate. +

"For the first time in three years, I feel like there is a weight finally off of my heart. I owe you one, Grimsley."

Shauntal held his hands tightly for a moment before throwing her arms around him. Her sobs were soft as she clung to Grimsley. "Thank you..I'm..finally free from his cruelty. I thought I would have to live in his shadow for the rest of my life.."

"Hm..." Shauntal took in the information he gave her and found herself crying a little. Not out of sadness. No, her empathy for her former husband. He was so cold and cruel to her the moment she changed in that hospital. "So..does that mean the nightmare is finally over?"

She mutters a soft 'thank you' before handing him her Rotom. "You wouldn't happen to have any involvement in this, would you?" On her screen, there was an article that went into detail that the Elite Lucian from Sinnoh was found in his home after a vicious fire was put out by unknown means. +

Shauntal joins him with a concerned look on her face, holding her Rotom in her hand. "Grimsley, do you have a second?"

"𝙈𝙮 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙆𝙖𝙩𝙮, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙩 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚 𝙎𝙤𝙖𝙥𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙂𝙮𝙢 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙤."

She will ask. And she will trust him to be honest. He sees them as family? Well then.. Marie already is warming up to him nicely so she isn't worried about her little one. Shauntal is hesitant, afraid of getting hurt again. She will need to talk some things out first..

Oh - Okay then. She did have a small office area in that library. Most of her drafts were stored there. Looks like she will have to wait a bit to pick up her writing again. She is thankful for his help to gather her things and for Marie. It means the world to her.

Good. She's quite done with liars these days. She hopes that the moving wasn't too much trouble for him! She would have gone with him but..going back there just didn't sit right with her. Too many bad memories attached.
