Hello, so for years I was a BIG Ferriswheelshipper (as in I shipped the main female protagonist of Pokemon Black/White AND the main enemy N) and years ago I read an article on TV tropes that mentioned that there was a "well regarded fanfiction" deconstructed the tropes of the "typical Ferriswheelshipping" fanfiction. If you don't know, a common trope was Touko/White losing the final battle and being forced to marry N. Supposedly this story followed that sort of framework but massively changed it into a completely different kind of story. I was very interested but when I clicked on it, it looked like the whole story was deleted off Fanfiction.net.
Anyone know what this fanfic was called and where it might be now? I think I tried to search for the now-forgotten title on Google and came up short too. It might be called "The Castle of Dush/Ashes". Or something like that. Thanks!~
I definitely will have a look to about this as I remember this! Back in like 2012/2013 I played Black and White and became absolutely obsessed and definitely would have read it. It's hard because Fanfiction has no way of tracking deleted fics (Something I have learnt the hard way) unlike other sites like Ao3 where you can abandon them if you don't want to be associated. Hopefully we can find it somewhere!
Its been a very long time since I read them so I can't verify if they're similar other than they're blurbs but they are very big fics with like similarly styled names so! If you figure it out properly I'd love to know
While not what I'm looking for, I love BOTH of those stories! Thank you:) And indeed, the only place I have seen the fanfic mentioned is on TV Tropes and even THAT reference I can no longer find. I WILL let everyone know if I can find that mention again too.
