Summary: Red and Lance’s relationship, vastly AU, Phantomness fanon used a bit
1: Air
Red takes his first breath, and his Father holds him close as the medics work to stabilize Delia’s dying body.
2: Apples
His crimson eyes are lovely, but Lance’s favorite part of his child is the apples blooming in his cheeks.
3: Beginning
Red’s first word is ‘Fada’, and Lance smiles.
4: Bugs
Red giggles as he hugs Caterpie close, and Lance knows this birthday present was a good one.
5: Coffee
Lance yawns as he sips the steaming black liquid, and Red wrinkles his nose when he tastes it; his Father laughs.
6: Dark
In the deep of winter, they sit underneath a tent of blankets, toasting marshmallows over Charmander’s tail flame.
7: Despair
The first time he breaks something, Red is in tears for days.
8: Doors
The doors in their house are always open, so Red spends many afternoons dozing on his Father’s bed while Lance types up computer reports.
9: Drink
Lance drinks one glass of wine every year, on New Year’s Day, and Red doesn’t begrudge his Father this.
10: Duty
When they move back to Indigo Plateau, Red doesn’t mind, because he knows Father has to do his job.
11: Earth
Lance pins the man to the ground as Red watches, hidden in Dragonair’s coils, and his Father’s eyes are a wicked blaze of gold as he stabs daggers through the man’s wrists.
12: End
“You shouldn’t have tried to take him away,” Lance purrs, and the kidnapper groans in pain.
13: Fall
Red smiles and kisses his Father as the police drives away with the man, and Lance doesn’t care that they’ve just fallen off the bridge of propriety.
14: Fire
Indigo Plateau burns behind them, but they escape on Dragonite into the night sky.
15: Flexible
Cosmos is pretty, and the Champion grants them sanctuary, no questions asked.
16: Flying
The first time they make love, Red feels as though they are soaring above the clouds.
17: Food
Lance makes pancakes, mixing creamy batter together as Red watches with a happy smile, watching the oil sizzle in the frying pan.
18: Foot
It’s hard re-taking the League challenge, but as he enters the Mercury Gym, he can’t contain his excitement.
19: Grave
When he sees Pikachu collapse, coughing green blood, he stares in shock as Father rushes forwards, releasing Chansey, but it’s too late.
20: Green
Pikachu’s new home is carpeted with green, soft grass, and he only cries a little as Father holds him tightly after the funeral.
21: Head
He’s Champion of Cosmos now, as Charlotte places the golden pins in his hair, and Father watches with a proud smile.
22: Hollow
Even Father can’t bring pokemon back from the dead, and Red feels guilty that his victory came at the price of another’s life.
23: Honor
Still, he has to try his best for those still living, and now that he’s Champion, he can make the rules.
24: Hope
That’s always one thing he’s liked about Cosmos, that the Champion has the power and not some Governing Council like Kanto - so he writes the laws into place.
25: Light
No one here knows Lance is his Father, and no one objects when they are married on a bright summer’s day.
26: Lost
Lance kisses him gently as they lie in bed together on the first night, and Red knows he is lost.
27: Metal
The metal of his Solar System badge glows black, next to Father’s badges from Kanto and Johto.
28: New
Red is a bit nervous about moving into the Champion’s residence, because he doesn’t want to kick Charlotte out, but she smiles and says she doesn’t mind keeping a small suite in the East Wing, so no one has to leave.
29: Old
It’s nice having her around, she’s like an older sister, and Lance is glad someone keeps an eye on Red when he leaves in December.
30: Peace
They sit on the front lawn, sipping strawberry lemonade and watching the stars.
31: Poison
Lance coats his dragon blades with Arbok venom, and Red watches in fascination.
32: Pretty
Red thinks Father looks pretty when he wears silk, especially the black catsuit that clings to him like a second skin.
33: Rain
Lance picks Red up at school, holding a bright yellow umbrella.
34: Regret
Sometimes, Red regrets never knowing his mother, but mostly it doesn’t bother him.
35: Roses
Lance grows blue roses in his window box, and Red grins after he reads the language of flowers.
36: Secret
At night, Red cuddles up next to his Father, and whispers secrets he has learned during the day at school.
37: Snakes
Jenny’s Arbok collapses as his Gyarados roars, and Lance smirks at the dumbfounded woman as Red claps.
38: Snow
They both fall down the mountain as they attempt to learn how to ski but the snow is soft and giggles are infectious, so no one gets hurt.
39: Solid
He feels hardness between his legs as he watches his Father lecture, and wriggles against the desk, trying to hide it.
40: Spring
Gyarados and Aerodactyl have a clutch of eggs, and as he and Father take care of the baby pokémon, Red feels happier than he has been in a while.
41: Stable
He clings tight to Father as Rapidash takes off, because riding a horse is very different from riding a bird and he doesn’t want to fall.
42: Strange
Wine makes him looser, and Red is pleasantly surprised to find exactly how athletic they are in bed that night.
43: Summer
Lance licks melting strawberry ice cream off Red’s fingertips, as Red giggles.
44: Taboo
Everything about their love is sick and wrong, but they quit caring long ago.
45: Ugly
When the reporter from Kanto comes along, they both notice how pinched and orange her face is.
46: War
She threatens to go public with their relationship unless they pay her a million yen, and Red snarls as he reaches for Scyther’s poke ball.
47: Water
Lance doesn’t like a mess, so he takes Red off on a quick flight while Gyarados cleans the house.
48: Welcome
When they return home, there is no evidence left.
49: Winter
As winter comes, the blizzards howl and they lock the doors against all intruders.
50: Wood
There is something decidedly sinful about sleeping in the bed where he was conceived, Red thinks, but it quit bothering him years ago.
