    Summary

    He’s not sure where he is. He’s staring at stark white tiles and fluorescent lights. He has only flashes of memory – fighting a black-scaled dragon, jumping into a pool of void and stars. Words. Letters. Then nothing.

    He tries to turn his head.

    It doesn’t move.

    Summary

    The stranger squinted at him. “Weird. My dreams aren’t usually this odd."

    That snapped Grian out of it. His heart slowed just enough to let his mouth catch up. “Wait. Dream?"

    The man nodded, casual. “Yeah. I’m lucid dreaming. You’re a figment of my subconscious, or something like that."

    Grian raised an eyebrow.

    Yeah. Definitely his weirdest dream so far.

    ✧˖°.⟡ Or: ✧˖°.⟡

    Grian is a thief, living in a crumbling alleyway shack with his younger siblings, Pearl and Jimmy. He’s also the leader of a resistance movement, formed in retaliation to a neglectful king of a crumbling kingdom — and anything he touches becomes infected by a deadly spore.

    Each night, Grian meets a man he feels impossibly drawn to — a connection neither of them can explain. While something tender begins to grow between them, the resistance plans their attempt on the king’s life.

    Summary

    “Tango?”

    The blazeborn poked his head around the corner. “That’s about everyone, X. We’re just doing a final sweep.”

    “What about that one?”

    Tango followed his gaze, flame pitching a bit higher before settling back down to normal. “He has robes on, Xisuma, and he’s covered in purple. He’s one of them.

    “Look how little he is. He’s so skinny, and he’s shaking. He can’t possibly be here of his own volition.”

    “Xisuma, you’re talking about bringing one of them onto Hermitc—”

    “Tango.”

    Or, while raiding a Watcher's prison, Xisuma spots something that doesn't belong.

    Summary

    Jimmy stepped closer, to see what was it that had caused the crater, what was capturing Pearl’s attention.

    When he stepped next to her, he spotted a big black something, possibly charred from its tumble through the atmosphere. It had a spiky texture, something that looked like feathers, if it wasn’t for the fact that they wouldn’t have survived the friction of such a long fall. Not to speak of the immense velocity and altitude a hypothetical feathered creature would have to reach to burn up and cause such an impact. Besides, no creature would have shattered upon impact like this thing did, with lavender light seeping through the cracks.

    OR:

    When Jimmy and Pearl are out in the forest, they find Grian who fell from the sky and forgot who he is. Grian watches. That’s what he’s supposed to do. And the only times he allows himself to be seen is when he runs around at night with Hotguy.

    Summary

    There was a story everyone in Hermitopia knew, whispered in taverns and carved into the marble pillars of the palace: the gods had blessed their kingdom, gifting three children touched by moonlight, starlight, and sunlight. But the Watchers, bitter in their exile, stole the youngest child—Grian, the boy of the sun—and raised him as their own.

    -----

    Lanterns still rise every year for Hermitopia’s missing prince, but Grian doesn’t know that. All he’s ever known are the Watchers’ chains, their warnings, their endless shadows. When a runaway thief breaks through his walls—both stone and otherwise—Grian learns the truth was never as simple as danger or safety. Beyond the tower lies a kingdom waiting, and a life stolen that won’t stay hidden forever.

    Summary

    “We’re having a meeting, G. You didn’t answer my comms, so I came to find you.” The redstoner’s eyes crinkled in amusement and he glanced pointedly at Grian’s wings. “It’d be embarrassing if I got there before you, mate. Besides, at this point I’m so used to flying with you, it’d be strange not to have you by my side.”

    ....

    Mumbo reached him inside the cage before eyes erupted from everywhere outside the bars and they all pinned him in a glare and Grian looked at him and his face was eyes too. He changed and looked like the Grian that Mumbo knew, but it was like all the life had been scraped out of him, and his dead eyes looked through Mumbo as if he wasn’t even there.

     

    AKA a harmless experiment on the Rift between worlds goes terribly wrong, and Mumbo and crew have to figure out how to get their favorite avian back from the Watchers, but the End Deities have a few surprises up their sleeves

    Summary

    Familiar sounds of wings flapping made him turn, Jimmy landed with a slight stumble against the Autumn air. The canary smiled at him, sitting beside Joel. He was in his full Coalmine gear, but he slid his glasses onto his head.

    “How do you always know when I’m coming?” Jimmy whined, leaning back on the cold concrete roof.

    “I’ve been with you long enough to have a Jimmy sense,” Joel smiled, looking at his best friend then looking back at the night sky. Pollution covered the stars and hid away the moon.

    Summary

    After being hunted and nearly captured by the Watchers, Jimmy and Tango are back at the beginning, still trying in vain to find Lizzie and Joel. Besieged by enemies at all sides, forced to run to old friends for help, Jimmy and Tango must face the increasingly deadly Watchers, the lost search for Jimmy's sister, and even Death itself in their hunt for Lizzie and, perhaps, finally, peace.

    Lizzie waits in the shimmering desert for news of her brother, watching Joel transform little by little every day. She has long since resigned herself to Joel's transformation into a Hermit, but when a strange, deadly cult sporting void-touched weapons breaches the horizon, she and her whispering shadows must fight with all she has to protect Joel and her new friends.

    In the desert, the death-touched siblings must reckon with their mortality, their new, strange world, and whether their bond and love can bring them back to each other.

    And as always the song winds through Jimmy's head: a song that sings ill tidings, a song that promises death before him or Lizzie can ever find their happy ending.

    Summary

    ""I just wanted to be free!" Xelqua cried, a single tear tracing it's way down his cheek. "I don't mean any harm, please. Just let me go!"
    "No."
    "No?!"
    "You could've been so much more, Xelqua," they said, their voice filled with a soft kind of sadness. "Now, you will watch. Just like you were always supposed to."
    "Watch what?"
    "The games." "

     

    While on a datastream adventure Martyn meets Xelqua, a captive of the Watchers, deities which rule the universe.

    Summary

    The door sealed behind him.

    The room reset. Silence pressed down.

    Grian’s chest ached. His fingers ached. His mind raced. The script had changed. The higher-ups were no longer satisfied with the old protocols. He pulled the purple paper from his pocket, examining the Watcher Eye. Its fractal iris shifted subtly, alive. It was guidance, a warning, a code to follow and he would have to adapt.

    The next file floated to the top of the stack. Another Hermit. Another test. Another trial under the suffocating gaze. Grian pressed the paper back into his coat. For a long moment, he closed his eyes and let himself shiver. Then, shaking, he reached for the next sheet.

    Next.

    Summary

    Grian had obeyed the Watchers his whole life.

    He never left the commune, never looked anyone in the eye, showered the Watchers with mindless worship. He took part in the events of the Church and withstood punishments when they decided he deserved them.

    Grian had been faithful, loyal. He and Pearl would be turning twenty-one soon.

    It was almost time for their Ascension.

    -

    or; grian and pearl were raised in a cult. right before their twenty-first birthday - before the ritual sacrifice that leaves them bleeding out on a stage as they earn their wings - they make a plan to escape.

    it does not go as smoothly as they hope.

    Grian impulsively accepts the Watchers' offer to become one of them. He thought all that would happen was that he would get some cool fancy powers.

    Summary

    Fear started to ripple within Scar, his body beginning to tremble slightly. “Then, can I leave? I don’t want to get killed."

    Grian shook his head. “No, because if you leave, then The Watcher will wonder where you are, and if I tell him you were a Hybrid he’ll ask for Xelqua to kill you. Painfully. So staying and wearing this—” he produced another cloak that was the same as what he was wearing, “—and cover your ears, then I’d suspect you’ll be alright.”

    Scar nodded as he pulled the cloak over his head.

    ”It’s a good thing The Watcher requested for you to wear this. As funny as it would be, he doesn’t want you to stand out like a sore thumb.”

    ”I must thank him for his graciousness,” Scar said with a scoff.

    Hotguy is infatuated with his vigilante pseudo–nemesis, but Cuteguy keeps blocking his advances and he isn’t anywhere close to getting through to the man. When his civilian coworker Grian winds up in the hospital for something he should have been able to prevent, he can't stop himself from falling for the man.
