*** A Wattpad #1 and Featured Story *** Pay your stake. Roll the dice. Do the dare. Becoming a widow at twenty-five sucks - big style - so Daisy packs her hiking boots and heads back to the Lake District, to the security of best-friend Clara's cottage in Gosthwaite. It'll be just what Daisy needs - anonymity and a fresh start. What she's not expecting is to meet a veritable Knight-in-Shining-Polo-Boots. Xander's twenty-two and drowning in as much as misery as Daisy, but when he knocks her off her wedge heels, she topples into his world of It-girls, players and Michelin stars. At a party, embracing a night off from mourning, Daisy agrees to play 'Forfeit', the ultimate game of dares. Five friends each toss £100 onto the table and complete their dares. Round One was a fun way to pass an hour, Round Two isn't for the faint-hearted, but no one wants to stake £10,000 to play Round Three - not until they're persuaded by a vitriolic blackmailer. £50,000 is up for grabs, but the game's called 'Forfeit' for good reason. Blackmail, betrayal, revenge... Move over Gatsby, there's a new bunch of bored young things in town. *** Caution ** Forfeit's rated at PG-13, but it does contain strong language and scenes of a sexual nature. Just sayin'. Cx ***

After a Research and Development experiment accident, Giovanni gets de-aged and more doors are opened for him. And yet the first thing he chooses to do is harass Ash Ketchum. Ash is just WTF? Ah well, he'll coerce her to help take over the world with him somehow. Team Flare's a start. In the meantime, Giovanni learns (sort of) that faking marriages isn't that easy (of course Jessie, James, Meowth muck it up and he ends up married for real), discovers Ash has megalomaniac tendencies in line with his mindset, and traveling across Kalos was going to be one long, epic honeymoon. On the other hand, Ash happily usurps Team Rocket, makes minions kneel and cater to her whims, and conquers Kalos gyms with OP pokemon and learns that overkill is never a bad thing. So hello, Kalos! You've got the second coming of Bonnie and Clyde blazing a trail through the region, trolling the law and Flare morons, and causing general chaos in their wake with their pledge to raise hell. Fem!Ash/Giovanni, harassment of Team Flare, and makeovers abound. Crazy shenanigans included~ Full uncensored chapters available here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3836353/chapters/8560168
