    Summary

    The postcard is nondescript. Unoriginal in its design.

    A lighthouse—his lighthouse—is sketched into the card with carefully crafted blue-gray pencil strokes. It warbles as he flips it over.

    Scar’s glimmering eyes are set in Grian’s periphery, watching as he reads over the jagged penmanship someone has haphazardly scrawled across the entire back side, slanted and faded as if they hadn’t stolen enough time to write it.

    S–
       All that you need can be found. Watch your toes.

                                               -B

     
    Or…

    When a storm washes ashore an American Navy sailor from the future, Grian finds himself caught in a plot to rewrite history.

    The strangest thing by far is the familiarity he finds in the sailor’s company. A man who should be impossible to know is suddenly the only recognizable thing between Grian’s unusual bouts of sea madness.

    Summary

    His hands do not tremble when he pours out the salt. It's to be expected of course, because Grian has been doing it for ages by now, but in the quiet of the room, it feels significant.

    "Scar." He does his best to keep his voice as steady as his hands, but it cracks near the end - a slight drawn-out r that nearly makes him frown. He's over this. He has to be, because there is only so much hurt his heart can take before it breaks into two identical parts. (One into his chest, and the other-)

    No answer.

    "Scar, I need you." A beat of silence. "Please."

    The air fills with sulfur, and the smell Grian has come to associate with Scar, old wood thrown into the fire, ashes, and sugar makes his head spin. He doesn't have to open his eyes to know his wish has been granted.

    "Well, hello there." His voice is the same as ever, warm and syrupy, honey trap for the unaware. His words are teasing, his tone familiar, and for an instant, a single second that makes his breath hitch, Grian can imagine it's his Scar standing in front of him.

    He opens his eyes and stares coldly at the demon trapped in the circle of salt.

    Summary

    When Grian was informed that he would be given a bodyguard for his journey to the Rift he was… well let’s just say displeased would be putting it mildly.
    Unsurprisingly, nobody in his family would listen to his very reasonable objections.
    “Grian, mate,” Mumbo had said exasperatedly in response to his complaints. “It’s not a personal insult to your abilities. It’s just a matter of national security, you know? Think of it like… extra insurance.”
    “More like extra annoying insurance,” Grian had grumbled.
    “Oi, stop being a pain,” Mumbo had said, grabbing Grian in a headlock and rustling his hair. “Besides, every bodyguard I’ve ever had has been quite boring. You probably won't even notice they’re there.”
    Christ, Grian wished Mumbo had been right.
    ---------
    Or: Scar has been hired to be Prince Grian's bodyguard for a year-long journey to study the Rift. Grian is not happy about it.
    Grian quickly comes to realize that he needed Scar much more than he would have thought. It takes him much longer to realize that feeling is more than friendship.

    Summary

    “You know Grian, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a panda before.” Scar states casually, as if that isn’t the most insane thing to say with no prior context.

     

    “What do you mean by that Scar?” There’s an obviously-tired tone to Grian’s voice, which can be easily explained by the fact they’re lounging in their living room, sprawled across each other with a blanket carelessly tossed over them both. They had just finished watching a claymation movie Grian demanded they watch around Christmas every year and were soon to head off to bed.

     

    Scar tells his boyfriend Grian he doesn't believe in pandas and Grian sets out to prove they exist.

    Somewhere along the way, Scar realises he wants to marry him as soon as possible.
