Summary
Grian knows these moments of tenderness are a sword edged just as sharp as they are soft. With absolute certainty, he knows this moment will kill him. And yet…
Grian’s never met a big red button he wouldn’t press.
Or: Grian and Scar wing preening with a side of daydreaming about being killed by the partner you’re indebted to.

things my heart used to know (things it yearns to remember) by Moonsetvoid
Fandoms: 3rd Life | Last Life SMP Series, Hermitcraft SMP

Summary
Scar can’t answer, too busy trying to control his breathing. It was Grian who had helped him build their home in the desert. It was Grian who had chosen to stay by his side, even after he didn’t have to anymore. It was Grian who had sat on the mountain with him, pointing out the stars and naming them.
It was Grian who had looked at him when they were the only two left, and had said there had to be a winner. It was Grian who had led him back to their mountain, hand in hand, and beat him to death in the shifting sands.
Grian remembered none of it.
OR,
The prize of the victor is to forget what they had to do to win. This causes problems for Scar, who has developed a fear of Grian and can’t tell him why. -

Summary
In the cactus ring, Grian and Scar fight. And during his final moments, Scar reaches up, and gently holds Grian's face. He will die knowing that he is loved.
Or I rewrite the cactus ring fight but make it painfully tragic (as though it wasn't already tragic).

Summary
So Scar has been selected for the starring role in a death game! That’s fine, it is perfectly expected and fine. Someone had to notice his charisma and star power (SCARRRR POWER) sooner or later.
Also, Scar grew up High Vex, which meant that “battle royale vs your friends and family, loser gets hunted for sport” was pretty much just another Tuesday for him. True, he’d never been much good at that part of the High Vex lifestyle, to the point that his family had been preparing to sell his Name to an Evoker before Cub helped him skip town—but! The point is! He has experience.
(or: the Third Life AU where Scar knows a little more than he should, and Grian's life is so terrible that the death game is kind of healing, actually.)

[ Copied from Wattpad ]
https://www.wattpad.com/story/401861289-let-down-scarian-gtws-x-grian
--
Living in the desert was...nice. At least Grian thought so. Him, his sister Gem, and their cats all lived together in the tower upon Monopoly Mountain, under the Watcher's orders and voices, for their enjoyment.With the loveable mess that was Scar. He was there too. Because of a little prank that left Grian forever in his debt and involved in his chaos. Okay, MAYBE Grian didn't totally hate Scar.
He didn't hate him at all. He actually quite liked him.He was just a bit of a let down at times

Summary
"Grian's jaw dropped when Scar held out the paper. He stared at Bdubs and raced towards the paper, of course, his inventory was overflowing with other items. He threw things out and reached for the paper, but before he could, Bdubs picked it up, and Scar was looking at him with his sword drawn."
I WROTE DESERT DUO FINALLY!!
I've struggled to write ANYTHING recently; I listened to Laufey's new song(Tough Luck) (LISTEN TO IT!!!), and I got the motivation to write something small. And what was I watching at the time? The boys pitifully punching each other amongst the cacti.

Summary
Grian barely registered Scar saying something before every burning end of his being fizzled out. Heat giving way to steam. His chest now colder than the shallow pond he had Scar pinned to the bottom of. Why? Why was he so cold when, a second ago, he could've boiled the pond with the heat beneath his skin?
Oh
"You can kill me"
That's why.
OR
From Bdubs' death to the cactus ring. An in-depth writing of the final 10 minutes of 3rd life. Both Grian and Scar have a lot of thoughts

Summary
Scar has been in love with Grian since he met him. And now they're in a death game, all their friends are dead, and only one of them can live. There's no other way this can end.
Or, the 3rd life finale, told as I feel it would occur within ScreamingFangirl's "What To Expect When You're Not Expecting" AU.
Technically not required reading, but highly encouraged if you want to have their happy ending, because it's not here. This is only the prequel.- Language:

But Sorry Never Fixes Anything, Does It? by Aerianna for giddydrabbles (giddyfenix)
Fandoms: 3rd Life | Last Life SMP Series
08 Jan 2024
Tags
Summary
There could never be two winners. There could never be someone who left this death game with a happy ending. There could never be a world where everyone got to say what they wanted to say, and the world was wrapped with a little bow.
Instead, there was a fist-fight in the desert, and stories whose endings did not end where the period would be.
Perhaps Scar deserved this. Perhaps Grian did. Maybe neither of them did, and the pain they experienced held no meaning at all.
Either way, this was the end.
Inspired by the work "Betrayal" by giddydrabbles. Please support the original fic
