Can I change my fate?

by Lum1ose_Cha0tix

Summary

Silver was a hungry young boy. Lyra was a poor girl working on a song. Times were hard on the world up above and Silver was dead to the world.

But Lyra had a plan to see her lover again and set the world back into tune.

Notes

Lyra is 19 and Silver is 20 in this AU. And instead of wearing her hat and having pigtails, Lyra’s hair is neck-length and in a side ponytail.

The characters still use Pokémon in this AU:
The workers use Poison, Steel, Rock, Ground, and Fire-Type Pokémon.

I will be referencing Hadestown songs but I won’t put the whole songs in for copyright reasons.
For those who are unfamiliar with Hadestown, please listen to the Hadestown Broadway cast album or buy the proshot so you can understand this fic!

Chapter 1: Introduction

Once upon a time, there was a railroad line.

And there were The Fates, three ladies who sang in the back of your mind.
Koga and Erika, the king and queen of the underworld, had forgotten the song of their love.

Lyra, a poor muse’s daughter and Silver, a hungry young boy fell in love during hard times.

This story is an old song, a love song, and a tragic song. But we're gonna sing it again.
