    Summary

    “You’re wondering about the scars,” says Grian, quietly, out of the blue.

    Mumbo freezes with his hands buried wrist-deep in Grian’s feathers, right at the point where all three sets of wings converge on his back. He’s supposed to be helping with Grian’s preening – though it’s devolved somewhat into petting. Devolved quite a lot into petting, now he thinks about it. Whoops. He doesn’t think he’s removed a loose feather or piece of dirt in at least five minutes.

    It’s a privilege, he knows it is, to be invited to do this. To be allowed to touch the places Grian can’t reach. To be allowed to see Grian with his shirt off, his back turned, his wings spread wide and vulnerable. He shouldn’t be getting distracted by how soft the feathers are, this close to Grian’s spine. He should be focusing on his job.

    (In which Mumbo helps Grian out with his wings, and learns a little more of his past in the process.)

    Summary

    Mumbo stands in the beginning of the end of his creations, and he’s not numb to it so much as he’s useless, made to stand in place as he watches what he loves become history that may never be discovered again, and-

    The fog creeps around him again.

    “Really?” he demands the sky, and something sharp is eager to fill the hurt void in his chest. “Come on mate, honestly - at least give me something interesting to dream about! This is just- just- pants! Honestly, could you at least give me a night of, oh, I dunno, something more cheerful than a bloody funeral? Quite frankly, it’s getting boring.”

    The fog closes in a little until the wisps of black tease along his arms. He faintly thinks he might wake up.

    "I’m sorry,” a voice says suddenly, and Mumbo’s heart seizes. It’s not his, nor the hermits, or any voice he recognizes. “Unfortunately, I’m afraid we’re both outta luck here, fella.”

    Mumbo blinks, dazed, glancing back and forth. The motion feels like freefall. There’s… nothing. No one, except...

    “Pardon me,” Mumbo says faintly, “are you… the fog?”

    Or: Mumbo's dreams are haunted by a mysterious shadow, and his days are haunted by a faulty jukebox.

    Summary

    “You want me to do what?” the civilian asked disbelievingly, and Scar’s body language shifted to that of an impatient trainer, one whose fuse was running short. It was a precursor to bad things, like being tased or forced onto a treadmill for hours; Mumbo flinched even knowing it was an act, and the civilian cut off with a squeak, so Mumbo knew he felt the same way.

    Or possibly that was the gun. Scar having a gun seemed more likely as an explanation, now that Mumbo thought of it.

    Stealing the car would be better, but they had no idea where they were going, and neither of them was familiar with road laws. What if they hit a person while driving? What if there was some sort of kill switch in the car that the owner could flip to blow it up with them inside? Anti-villain tech had to be wild, from what the Foundation had on hand– and they were villains now for sure. Not just for defying the Foundation, but for this. Heroes didn’t take the actions he and Scar were taking.

    Summary

    “Grian? ...You’ve fallen in love before, right?”

    “What kind of⎯”

    “It’s a simple question!”

    “No,” A pause. “No, as in, I’ve never fallen in love before.”

    “Oh.”

    And then⎯

     

    “Oh.”

    Or: Scar and Grian discuss what it is to love, and Mumbo is the most frequent topic of discussion, until he inevitably joins them.

    Summary

    In which Technoblade is a warlord/world conqueror without a heart. It’s ok though, Tommy will be his heart.

    (Or AU in which Techno is taking over the world and he takes Tommy as heir with the intention of using him as a way to win over the realm. Thing is his plan works a little too well because even he ends up loving Tommy too.)
