    or

    Summary

    "Dude, quit squirming!" Scar's laugh starts as a deep, bright rumble in the pit of his stomach, soaring from his throat to punch the air in short, ribboned strokes, each a brilliant star between them. The air here is warm, dazed, an illuminated snow globe— except the globe is his tree, and the snow drifts in downy feathers outside it, forming an intricate latticework of frostbitten fingers that crawl up the sides of his windows.

    They’d retreated here an hour ago— once their impromptu snowball fight with Doc had transcended from three hermits to thirteen— all shivers and chattering teeth, drenched to the bone. Now, with the fire stoked, sweaters both discarded and exchanged, neither one of them can ignore how the bedraggled wreck of Grian’s feathers are in desperate need of preening.

    "You're doing this on purpose!" Grian's retort is tart, but it lacks true bite, curling high as a silver wisp of smoke. "Sto— stop it, Scar, stop trying to tickle me—!"

    Summary

    “Scar holds out the head, and finds a pristine, bright, familiar, yellow feather tucked behind one of the head’s great big ears. “How did you—?” Scar asks, but obviously Grogu can’t respond, so Scar is just left to extract the feather from it’s perch, holding it up, and twirling it around, looking at how the sun hits it. It looks pretty.

    It’s definitely Grian’s, his tri-colored parrot wings a staple— some might even say an omen— but why it’s even there is beyond Scar.”

     

    Grian was made an avian by the Watchers. He never had anyone to teach him the customs, or what they mean, however he still does have the instincts.

    Scar is a vex. He has no clue about any avian customs.

    Grian gives Scar his feathers over the years out of impulse, not knowing why it matters, but feeling a compulsion to do so for some reason.

    Surely this won’t make their friends who actually bother to look into things draw any conclusions! Right?

    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.
