Submas/BW Fic: Railroad Lilies Ch. 2: Battle from the Heart

The second and final chapter of Railroad Lilies is live! Thank you for checking out my little side story while I work on Electric Trains in proper. I originally said I’d be back with a chapter next Tuesday, but due to some real life events popping up, I’m going to postpone is one more week to March 7th!

Chapter Summary: Emmet needs more trainers and Depot Agents, and Hilda needs to learn how to hire. Meanwhile, Rosa tries not to crush when she is caught off guard. Chapter Word Count: 4596

I might also eventually make a third chapter to this, if it strikes my fancy. Basically a night out on town with the focus being Hilda/Rosa and Hilbert/N. Don’t quote me on this.

Anyway, you can read the chapter below, or over on AO3 with additional comments! Reblogs and comments appreciated as always!

Rosa cannot stop fidgeting with her grumpigtails as she waits in the waiting lobby at Gear Station. She has been waiting for 30 minutes now, and now her leg is beginning to bounce as she listens to the interview happening through the door. 

Submas/DPPT/BW/PLA Story Idea Preview: Disappearance

A side fic I have planned for Electric Trains once I get more written is a look into what happened when Ingo, Hikari, and Elesa individually disappeared. What happened beforehand, what happened during, and what happened after. I had two solid scenes in my head, which is how the idea spawned, and so I decided to write out one scene each to make sure I have the idea of the fic solid, and something to build from or to.

None of these scenes are what I could consider “finished”, in the sense that there could be more to round them out. These are meant to be teaser snippets, and once I get to writing them in full (in probably 2 months), they’ll be written entirely. I also mix Japanese and English names here, so Ayako is Johanna, despite Cynthia staying Cynthia. And, warning for strong Angst in the second scene and moderate angst in the third scene. The first one is surprisingly angst free!

Submas/BW Fic: Railroad Lilies Chapter 1 - I’m Not Your Boss

A spin-off from Electric Trains are the Future arrives! A short two chapter fic exploring how the Subway continues without a Subway Boss! Second chapter will be up in 2 weeks, then 2 weeks after we go back to the main fic!

Summary: Emmet bites the bullet and instates a new Subway Boss. Hilda jumps at the chance to live up to expectations. Rosa loves the trains, loves the battles, and loves the people on the trains. All around, it's a good deal, and no one has any reason to complain.Except maybe Isadore. Chapter Word Count: 4096

Read it below, or on AO3 with additional notes! Reblogs and comments are appreciated, and I hope you enjoy!

Hilda never really felt nervous around the Subway Bosses. Not when she was a fresh trainer, hitting the Subway for the first time with her Dewott. Not when she finally took Emmet and Ingo down with Hilbert at her side. She wasn’t even nervous when she was interviewing to be a Depot Agent on the Singles Line.
