Summary
What happened at the end of Third Life? Because Grian sure did win, but he sure didn’t have a good experience. So what would have ever crossed his mind there in that cactus ring?

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
3rd life / Desert Duo Oneshot
In the blazing desert, Grian faces the man he's meant to kill: his oldest friend, Scar.
Surrounded by ghosts and fire, victory feels hollow when it means losing the one person he can't live without.What if 3rd life ended a little differently? More tragically, perhaps?

This wasn't meant to happen. He never thought it would come down to the two of them. Then again, did he ever really have any control of his own game?

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
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

What To Expect of Cactus Spines and Bloody Knuckles by AstraHeart for ScreamingFangirl, Doctorpants

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.
