With you, I found myself.

Spoofing that one Luffy and Nami image. You know the one.

Also Ash and Zoroark? Mind explaining?

Yep LMAO. It's less anything I'm trying to say about him and more that I just love shipping and choose not to pick between them. Polyamory>>>

For sure! That Zoroark is from my flagship fic, Another Road Repaved. She's known as Swyn; loosely based on Movie 13 Zoroark, but not the exact same one. During a brief excursion to Unova that Ash and Dawn take because of... events that happened back in Kanto, they find a Zoroark chasing down a poacher who took her cub. She's pretty resistant to help at first, but ultimately comes to trust Ash, and they work together to save her lil' guy. Her cub, Rura, convinces her to join them, so Swyn joins Ash's team, and Rura Dawn's.

Swyn's an outcast Zoroark from her old pack; a young mother and widow who left to fend for herself and Rura after being ostracized.

She starts off with rather low self esteem, barely taking care of herself as long as her cub is healthy. She's meant to be a direct parallel to Ash overexerting himself to protect others and trying to shoulder burdens so others don't have to carry them. They're foils who find comfort in each other. Swyn kinda subconsciously adopts Ash as a rebound for her last relationship without even realizing it. It takes them several years to realize the roles they've fallen into.

Luckily, she's far healthier and happier, these days!
