Summary
A young boy finds himself in a big new city. After meeting a new friend, he might as well stick around here, he supposes. Even if it seems like the entire city is out to get him sometimes.
Or: how Corbeau got on by himself before he received help he needed.
This is essentially all canon backstory from ZA, so if you have not played and want no spoilers for his character, I'd recommend saving this for later!

Summary
Corbeau now has somewhere to stay, but it isn't easy. Between having to learn a lot of things in such a short time - how to read and write, how to have table manners, new cultural customs, even a new language - and having to figure out how to deal with the strange Lysandre, it's going to be a bumpy road.

Summary
Corbeau turns seventeen years old - which means it's time for him to try making it on his own once again. Of course, he's not alone this time, but that doesn't mean it'll be much easier. The only differences now are that he can read and write and speak the local language and he has some money in his wallet and social skills and... okay, maybe it's very different.
But when an old rival of his suddenly surfaces from the grimy cracks of backstreet Lumiose, what might become of the wily, over-confident teenager?

Summary
A mishap in Hyperspace sends Corbeau tumbling into a new Lumiose, where he comes face-to-face with... himself? But that can't be right, this other Corbeau seems so different from him on the surface...
When yet another incident send the two crash-landing back in his own world, how are they supposed to get this doppelganger back where he belongs?
(I've had the idea of 'what would happen if the corbeau from the toxictrackshipping fics i wrote pre-ZA met the more canon-compliant corbeau from the gardening in kalos series' for a little while now. bc of 1 year of toxictracks, i thought i'd finish this and clean it up ^.^)
((this is an AU story that is not super canon to either original series, but draws from both. It will be at the end of both series because of this))
