This is a series of unrelated fics I've written over the past nine years that were previously published on Livejournal. Some are drabbles of exactly 100 words, because I liked that kind of challenge back in 2010, others are slightly longer ficlets and one-shots. All are AAML.
First up, a 100 word story about the sincerest form of flattery.
"She keeps copying me, Mom" Ash whined.
"Oh, it's sweet darling, stop worrying."
"Sweet? It's not sweet! It's annoying! First she copies my victory pose, now she wants to follow me everywhere!"
On the screen he saw his mother sigh and smile.
"Ash, have you ever heard the phrase 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery'?"
"That's stupid," Ash crinkled his nose, "Misty's not flattering. She calls me a brat."
"Oh, Ash, you'll understand some day. I have to go darling, I love you!"
Ash replaced the receiver and frowned.
"Why do people keep saying that to me?" he muttered.
