    Summary

    The world outside was cold, cruel, and harsh, and it was one they would be thrust back into come morning, but for now, he was safe, here with Scar, who was absent-mindedly playing with his hair as they both pretended to be trying to fall asleep.

    Summary

    There’s grit in his wings.
    There’s sand in his feathers and warm arms around his torso. Grian sighed. “Scar?”
    “Yeah, G?”
    “It happened again, didn’t it?”

    (Or; Taking the “Desert Duo never left the desert” joke and twisting it—Grian and Scar are constantly teleported back to the desert at random.)

    Summary

    Jimmy starts. "Grian."

    The other man groans. "What."

    "Did we miss Halloween?"

    Almost immediately, Grian laughs.

    "Ha- haha! What on earth? That's– that's so stupid!"

    -

    Teetering on the cusp of all-out war, two dutiful watchers share a scant peaceful night with plenty of chit-chat, pondering, existential dread, and various nonsense-making, as required.

    (The weather is poor. Visibility is worse. They make it work.)

    Summary

    In another life he'd love Scar, gather thanks at his feet for things he's done and kiss him with everything he has. Maybe they'd spend a night laying in silence, unspoken words of devotion clouded around them. Maybe Grian would catch Scar's stolen glances sent his way, or notice to rose hue of his cheeks. Maybe Grian's face would be painted the exact same way.

    But those are fantasies that water down reality, and this is now.

    So Grian creates a fist, fingers curled together and hand tense, and strikes Scar's jaw.

    There's a crack.

    It's sharp and quick and rings in his ears.

    He does it again.

     

    Crack.

     

    And again.

     

    Crack.

     

    And again.

     

    Crack.

    Summary

    Martyn kneeled down in front of the throne. He glanced up at his King, who had his legs crossed over one another.

    “My king,” he bowed his head more down. “You called me?”

    The king stood up from his throne, walking down the few steps to put a hand on Martyn’s shoulder. “Rise, me Hand. We shall go over our plans to defeat those foolish desert hippies.”

    Martyn wanted it to end. And it did. Terribly.

    Summary

    Grian stared at the lifeless body of the person he once loved. Blood seeping out of his body and into the sand he once cherished. He looked over off the cliff side. He remembered what it had once looked like, pure iridescent sand. And yet here it now stood. Fractured and blood ridden.

    Summary

    “Where do you think we’re from?”

    “I don’t know. Don’t remember.”

    Grian expects the answer, but he sighs, stretching.

    “I know that. Make something up.”

    ***

    In between the wars and the fighting, Grian and Scar have a lot of time on their hands to talk. And since they don’t remember anything, they’re left to imagine for themselves what life may have been like outside of this war zone they know.
