    Summary

    “Grian,” says Scar, hesitant, and Grian whips his head to face him — Scar startles back a little — “Grian,” he repeats, uncharacteristically firm. “Tell me — tell me what I should do.”

    Scar’s green eyes are bright and watery — anxious, afraid, so afraid — and Grian tears his own gaze away. He forces himself to speak, giving in to the plan that first popped into his mind, that’s formed almost fully now. It’s a good plan. It’s a horribly, horribly good plan.

    “You need to stay with me,” Grian whispers, and he is a monster for it.

    ...

    it's the end of the world, kind of. grian's not going to have a great time of it.

    Summary

    “You don’t remember what?” Mumbo asks urgently. “Scar?”

    Scar’s rabbiting breaths resume, his eyes fixed on Mumbo’s. It’s Mumbo’s fault; he’s scaring him. He lets go of Scar’s arms and steps back, still waiting for an answer.

    “I don’t know,” is all Scar can say, speaking the words like they’re some unimaginable horror. “Mumbo, I don’t— I don’t know.”

    Or: A "nobody remembers the life series except the winners" au, focusing on Hermitcraft after Third Life. Grian, being Grian, tells no one.

    Summary

    Grian shifted again—another small movement, a thoughtless roll of his hips as he resettled. The bed creaked faintly beneath them, the sound sharp in the hush. Grian froze for half a second, then relaxed, deciding it was probably fine. If anything, it helped the illusion.

    Scar, on the other hand, went very still.

    His jaw tightened, eyes closing briefly as he took a slow breath, hands remaining firmly—but respectfully—at Grian’s sides. When he spoke again, his voice was even, almost too controlled. “Hey,” he said gently, breathlessly, “maybe— maybe don’t move like that.”

    Grian blinked. “Oh—sorry.” He flushed, immediately trying to still himself, hands pressing into Scar’s shoulders for balance. “Did I—?”

    Before Scar could answer—

    BANG BANG BANG.

    ~

    When a plan hatches for Grian to pretend to be Scar’s partner at his mother’s ‘Christmas Extravaganza’, Grian realises that fake love feels an awful lot like the real thing—especially when everyone else believes it already is.

    Summary

    “I should tell you that I missed on purpose, last night," Cuteguy says, his handgun aimed right between Scar's eyes.

    Something about his face — the part Scar can see, anyway — is vaguely familiar. His nose and below are covered by a black mask. There are big, nearly rose-tinted sunglasses shoved up into his hair, which is a little bit brown but not quite all the way there. He's very pretty.

    "I figured," Scar says honestly.

    OR

    By day, Scar's a lawyer with little actual regard for the law. By night, he's Hotguy — Hermit City's one and only vigilante hero. Just when things are finally getting interesting in the office, a new mysterious new criminal appears in the city. Scar is distracted enough that he hardly notices the conspiracy unfolding all around him.

    Summary

    "Grian, what are these?"

    Weakness, he tries to rasp; it comes out garbled, so he sucks in a long, slow breath and tries again, lungs trembling with the effort. "Weak– weakness."

    Scar drops the bottle like it's burned him. "You took three weakness potions?" he chokes out, and that seems to break whatever trance Xisuma, Pearl, and Tango have been in this entire time. They rush forward, eating the distance between them in rapid strides, until they're all crouched around Grian.

    Grian shuts his eyes again, before remembering he isn't supposed to do that. He wants to say sorry. What he says instead, is: "It was– safer. Like this. For you."

    It amounts to about the same thing.

    Or, I finally buckle down and post the rough draft of hunger au, where I give Grian every mental illness known to man and also a few new ones. Please heed the tags.
