Description
Two years marks the day when Gloria became champion, as well as the year she lost touch with her best friend Hop. In the time that passed, Bede and Marnie stepped up to fill Hop's vacancy while Gloria remained steadfast in her new job. Although, just when life settles for her, Hop suddenly reappears on the scene--determined more than ever to not be undermined by Bede. As they spend time with Gloria, both boys realize their feelings lie beyond friendship, and naturally a competition is reignited between them. However, there are secrets hiding beneath Gloria's surface: an accident from six years ago, a mysterious group called Project: Open Dream, and an ancient tale about the mysterious "shooting star" child, Jirachi's Twin. Hop and Bede will be forced to work side-by-side to uncover the truths without hurting Gloria more than she already is. 38 Chapters, updates Mondays, btyu & hpyu ships Content Warnings: Teenage humor, minor blood, death, action/violence, SFW romance, implications of suicide/depression, alcohol/drinking, implications of abuse, kidnapping, general angst Extra Information: Genre: Romance, Mystery Main Ships: Bede x Gloria, Hop x Gloria Implied/Minor Ships: Leon x Sonia, Nessa x Raihan, Marnie x Bede I occasionally post mini-comics for this series.
