Summary
“Quite the view, isn’t it?” Grian asked, refusing to look over his shoulder.
The voice behind him responded. “Do you mean the stars? They’re kind of blurry against all the smog.”
“Nah, I see them pretty clearly from here. If only you had an imagination; there’s all sorts of constellations.”
“I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.”
”Like there, the broken square; above your HQ, you see it?”
”… There’s nothing there.”
Grian snorted. ”Surely you’re aware of the concept of clarity. I mean, even if all you lackeys don’t have an ounce of clear sight.”
That soft, contemptuous laugh. ”Had to ruin a pretty moment, didn’t you, Cuteguy?”

Summary
In his shoulder. Underneath his ribs. Faint aches, irritated and itchy, not enough to wake him from slumber. The feeling kept growing, though, turning into pulses and waves of—
Scar sucked in a breath, gasping for air as his back burned. Swaths of pure magma attacking him in every way, slicking his skin in sweat and hurting his chest with every rasp. His eyes widened, blurred with tears as he struggled to breathe, just breathe— he pulled his arms up to his chest to alleviate the suffocating feeling, but—
Cold iron stopped him. Rings of metal chafing his wrists, he still couldn’t take in enough air but for a second he stopped struggling. What…?
He was handcuffed. He blinked, eyes finally clearing enough to think. He looked down to see his uniform— Hotguy’s uniform— and the pieces finally clicked. His heart dropped cold in his chest, chilled despite the fire still arcing up his back.

or, Hotguy/Scar is kidnapped by some very Bad Boys

Summary
The crunch of dirt and mud echoed in his mouth. He chewed his way around the hardest pebbles.
“Skizz, how have you managed this? Why are you floating midair?” Mumbo stared at him, exasperated.
“Aw, don’t worry, Jumbolio! I’m perfectly fine up here. Got tons of dirt, just doing some easy training…”
“But we’re right here, Skizz! Can’t you do it over the wall?”

or, Skizz and the Spanners talk about metaphorical trees… at least, that’s what Grian remembers.

Summary
Soft, soft grains of wheat passed through Scar’s fingers, dancing with soft whispers in the wind. The fields blew to him, the earth itself caressing him in its soft grasp. Tranquility— the calm sensation of existence, as time slowed to a stop and all Scar needed was breath.
Yet the exhale rattled in his lungs, and he fought the urge to cough lest he break the transcendence of the moment.
It would hurt. But Scar had to choose. Pretend nothing was wrong, or go back home. He sighed. Then turned back the way he came.
-
or, Scar escaped from the Listeners once; now he must make the choice again.

Summary
Rosebushes. Pearl adored the sight of them, red blooms and green vines and that plum-purple the leaves shown. The flowers themselves were quite delicate, if she shook them too harshly petals would fall to the ground. She only wished the adorning thorns were as easy to remove. Too often had she cut herself trying to pull them out, frustration intermixing with confusion— for how could something so pretty have such sharp teeth?
- - —- -
or, younger Pearl has to choose between Listening blindly and risking death for her and Scott.

Summary
Ren turned back to his desk, not the only haphazard mess of ink and paper in their dingy apartment. Sat everywhere were papers, maps, and bits of redstone— but unlike the rest of the mess, his desk remained the only essential.
Essential to the Red Ward, of course.
For strewn across newspaper clippings and scribbled notes, drafts of the same work repeated itself over and over, but with a few changes here and there. Ren’s next speech— the one that would matter, the one that would change the battlefield of the city— lay in front of him. If only he could write it. Instead, he’d been squatting on this current draft for forever, trying to think of a good alternative to ‘rectify’.

or, Ren and Etho founded a rebel group, and now they have choices to make.

Summary
Joel shivered as he felt raindrops slide down his back. It was cold, the wind threatened to knock him off course, but stubborn he fought, stomping down the city streets.
He didn’t know where he was going. For some reason, he’d followed the Listeners back to the city; and now he was stuck in some random, stupid place.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Summary
The King’s voice rang over the crowd, eyes clinging to each syllable like gold to the poor. People stopped in their tracks, wandered from the alleyways and the shadows to listen to the man standing on cardboard boxes speak, call out to them as if they were his own. Ren had that effect— authoritative but human, theatrical yet personal in a way no other ruler could be. At least in Etho’s experience; he didn’t have much of it, to be fair.

or, Etho’s backstory as the White Night.

Summary
Mumbo turned back to his room, stepping inside as his friend fought against the hands tearing him away.
”I’m fine. Nothing’s going to happen, I’ll wake up and see you, like always. Good night, Grian.”
Mumbo pulled the covers over himself and fell asleep.
He did not wake to the heat of his home burning around him. He did not resurface at the screams of his friends. He did not pull back the covers, not once open his eyes, as the flames reached him and his dreams.
Mumbo fell asleep for the last time.

or, Mumbo goes back to sleep and wakes up taller and mustached.

Summary
“Things won’t stay the same.” Grian stared at the boy in front of him, both of them wavering in grip, their swords ponderous.
BigB’s eyes crinkled, the softness of the moment outweighing apprehension. “Maybe. You’d think so, right? That—“
“That nothing is permanent?”
“Nothing is permanent, yes. Life begets change. You. You transmute. Grian and Menores. Love, hate. Constant change… Impermanence ceaselessly thrives.”

Summary
—and all of a sudden, the apartment was empty. The house sighed, like it was taking the first breath it had in a long while. Creaked into the doorways, shifted its blinds to let the light in just right. The home wasn’t fearful, nor was it furious. It simply was, in the way many of the inanimate are.
