Ohh, this is amazing. I'm fascinated by war AUs (a by-product of having a best friend who is CONSTANTLY PLANNING WHAT TO DO WHEN WAR BREAKS OUT) and ahh I just love war literature. And this stands up wonderfully as war literature, in my opinion, as much as it does as Pokémon fic. By the end I was tearing up. And oh I am not nearly coherent enough to express much more. I liked that Lyra sending her cheques home was like a terrible subversion of saving your money with your mom. And then having her phone you to tell you to pick up berries from the PokéMart.
