    I'd really appreciate any feedback or suggestions you guys have for the story so far. Whether it's the writing style, pacing, characters, dialogue, plot, battles, or anything else, feel free to point it out. I'm always looking for ways to improve and make the story better moving forward. Thanks...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 20 Moving

    Therapist: What does ready feel like? Theo: Like this. The first day of moving suppression Theo walked into a doorframe. Not dramatically. He was crossing the main hall with the aura held and Kalea said something from across the room and he turned to answer and his shoulder caught the storage...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 19 Two Storms

    Therapist: What changed? Theo: I stopped waiting for the quiet. The session started the same way every session started. Anabel on one side of the training floor, Theo on the other, six in the morning and the gym still settling into itself around them. He sat cross legged, closed his eyes...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 18 Uninvited

    Therapist: When did you last surprise yourself? Theo: Last night. Kalea had ordered pancakes again tonight and had notes written on her hand. Small and precise, the handwriting of someone who had taken the assignment seriously from the moment she'd invented it, which was approximately one...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 17 Stillwater

    Therapist: What does it feel like when you can't make something work? Theo: Like the problem is me. The exhibition had been over for three days and nobody in the gym had stopped talking about it. Not loudly. Not constantly. But in the way things that had genuinely impressed people...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 16 Exhibition

    Therapist: You seem different today. Theo: I watched something worth watching. The training had continued. Two more sessions with Anabel, each harder than the last. She had moved from holding the aura under distraction to holding it under active pressure, standing close and pushing her...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 15 Static Knowledge

    Therapist: Does it bother you, knowing things you shouldn't? Theo: Only when other people find out. Anabel had not been lying about earlier than he'd like. Five forty five. The training floor dark except for the lights she'd switched on herself, the gym Pokemon still in their enclosures, the...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 14 Currents

    Therapist: What does your aura feel like? Theo: Like something I should have noticed a long time ago. Anabel was already on the training floor when he came out at half six. Sitting cross legged, eyes closed, hands on her knees. Still enough that Theo wasn't sure at first if she was waiting or...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 13 Resonance

    Therapist: How does it feel knowing someone else has been through this? Theo: Like finding a door I didn't know was there. They used Surge's office but it wasn't really big enough for five people and the extra chairs from the meeting room made the space feel compressed, everyone slightly more...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 12 Rebuilding

    Therapist: Do you feel like you belong here yet? Theo: I don't know. Ask me again in a while. The cookbook had been optimistic about his abilities. That was the only conclusion he could reach standing in the kitchen on Wednesday morning looking at what was supposed to be scrambled eggs. They...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 11 Theory and Questions

    Therapist: What did you learn today? Theo: That knowing something and doing it are completely different things. Kadan arrived on Tuesday morning with a whiteboard. Theo looked at it and then at Kadan and Kadan set it up at the edge of the training floor without explaining himself. He uncapped...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 10 Aftermath

    Therapist: How do you feel about not being able to leave? Theo: Like it makes sense. That's the worst part. The gym was empty when Theo woke up. Not quiet in the way it was quiet in the evenings when the Pokemon had settled and the training floor was dark and the only sound was the low...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 9 Dragon

    Therapist: Who found you? Theo: Someone who didn't need to. The charge at the end of Xurkitree's raised limb built past the point where Theo could track it and he stood on the ruined dock in the rain and didn't move because moving wasn't going to change what was about to happen and Electrike...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 8 Attrition

    Therapist: Do you think you're brave? Theo: I think I'm just bad at stopping. The wormhole sat in the sky above the docks and pulsed. Theo stood beneath it and the fear that had come up during the storm was still there. He wasn't pretending otherwise anymore. It sat in his chest and had no...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 7 Static Break

    Therapist: Do you ever let yourself be afraid? Theo: Not if I can help it. Two weeks changed things in ways that were difficult to point to directly. It wasn't any single moment. It was the accumulation of small ones that didn't feel significant until you looked back and realised how...
