Man, I gotta disagree with the AO3 supremacy for this one. The best Friede/Amethio content isn't in formal stories yet, it's in the discord servers and twitter threads. The ship is so new that the deep character analysis is happening in real-time in group chats, with people piecing together their backstories and motivations from scraps of anime footage. Those discussions directly fuel the fic that does get written. I've seen a google doc linked in a discord where three writers are literally co-writing a heist AU based on a single throwaway headcanon thread. For finding the stories themselves, I'd say follow the artists who draw them on twitter—they often retweet or commission fics to go with their art. That's how I found that amazing one-shot where Amethio is injured and Friede has to patch him up, full of that delicious forced proximity and grudging care.
I find the search for this pairing fascinating because it's so rooted in visual and kinetic chemistry from the anime, more than a ton of shared dialogue. So the fanfiction that works best for me expands on what the show gives us: the rivalry, the contrasting loyalties, the physicality of their clashes. I tend to avoid AUs that transplant them into completely different settings right now; it feels too early for that. I want fics that dwell in the 'Pokemon Horizons' world and explore the potential of their next encounter. There's a writer on AO3 who goes by 'vermillionthread' who does this brilliantly—each fic is like a missing scene, meticulously in-character, with a slow build of mutual respect underpinning the antagonism. That's the stuff I bookmark. The kudos sorting is your friend, but also check bookmarks of users who bookmark similar ships; that's a treasure trove of curated finds.
Tumblr's your best spot for the vibe-based, introspective pieces. Search the ship tag there, filter for 'text', and you'll get a flood of shorter, prose-poem style works that focus on a single moment or feeling. It's less about plot and more about capturing the aesthetic of their rivalry—the gleam of Friede's Charizard against Amethio's metallic hair, that sort of thing. Perfect for a quick hit of that specific dynamic.
Everybody's cruising for those Friede x Amethio fics, right? I get it, I was too. Honestly, my journey was kinda messy. I started on AO3, obviously, but the tag situation is a bit of a disaster. Sometimes they're tagged 'Friede Dotter & Amethio', sometimes it's just 'Pokemon Horizons', sometimes it's a character tag that doesn't exist yet. The real trick is to search the pairing in the 'relationship' field with an ampersand, like 'Friede & Amethio', and then sort by kudos or comments. That weeds out a lot of the unrelated gen fics.
What surprised me was finding some of the more interesting takes on Pixiv, of all places. You have to navigate it in Japanese, but using フリード and アメジオ as search terms turns up some incredible fanart with accompanying micro-fics in the descriptions. The dynamic there leans more into the aesthetic and unspoken tension, which for this ship feels right. A lot of the English-language stuff on Tumblr is shorter, moodier pieces, perfect if you're craving that specific 'charged silence in the airship hangar' vibe. My personal favorite right now is a WIP called 'Conductivity' on AO3—it nails Amethio's prickly professionalism slowly corroding.

I was trying to escape my abusive Alpha ex when I hit something with my truck.
It was not a deer, but a zareth.
Seven feet of muscle, claws, and a growl that can split open the sky. His kind are our sworn enemies from another realm with a screech that can make a werewolf’s brain explode.
I should have killed him. Instead, I looked into his yellow eyes… and the mate bond snapped into place.
Now I’ve dragged him home to hide him from my pack. He doesn’t speak. He doesn’t follow rules and he definitely doesn’t care that my bed is mine. My new "friend" doesn't care about personal space, but I am NOT going to be making babies with a monster.
Fighting the mate bond can't be that hard, right?
Honestly, I wasn't expecting much for a ship from 'Pokémon Horizons'—it's so new. But the fandom moved fast. Ao3 has a solid tag for it; that's where I've seen most of the well-written stuff. Sort by kudos and you'll find a few authors who are already establishing the dynamic, playing with Amethio's whole 'rival from the evil team' vibe and Friede's more easygoing pilot energy. It's that classic enemies/rivals tension, I guess.
Wattpad has a ton of fics too, but the quality is... wildly inconsistent. Lots of 'reader insert' stuff mixed in, which isn't my thing. I had to filter through pages of those. The top-rated ones on there tend to be shorter, fluffier pieces. If you want longer, plot-heavy series, Ao3 is definitely the more reliable spot right now. I'm keeping an eye on the tag there; it updates pretty frequently for such a fresh pairing.
Archive of Our Own absolutely takes the cake for finding quality Amethio and Liko stories. The tagging system is a lifesaver – you can filter for their specific dynamic, exclude other ships, and find stuff ranging from fluffy post-canon scenarios to wild AUs. I binged a fantastic one last week where they were rival historians uncovering Paldea's secrets, and the chemistry was just perfect.
Wattpad has its moments, especially for shorter, sweeter pieces and reader-insert adjacent styles, but you have to dig through a lot of chaff to find the gems. The search isn't as precise. FanFiction.net is pretty sparse for this pairing; the 'Pokémon' section there feels like it's mostly genfic or older ship stuff from ten years ago.
Honestly, don't sleep on Tumblr either. A lot of writers will post snippets, headcanons, and link to their full works on AO3 from there. It's where the fandom chatter happens, so you can get a feel for which authors really nail their voices before committing to a longfic.
