Alain and Mairin have been married for over two years, and they have been trying for their first child for at least one year but to no avail. Mairin goes out for a walk, but doesn't come home until a worried Alain finds her in the cold, rainy streets of Lumiose City.

Hey look at this shit Note: this is literally only under mature bc I headcanon Alain as having the mouth of a sailor at times and uhhhhh yeah!

When a 21 year old Alain visits Professor Sycamore's lab for a quick hello, he wasn't expecting to see his old friend and companion there instead. What happens when these two meet after six years of separation from each other? Heartbreak? Confessions? Maybe even something more. I am pleased to bring you my newest story, Familiar Faces. Rated M for mature due to some adult language.
