    Summary

    This is a compilation of all the pieces that take place within my Over-City/Under-City AU, which is also a Hot Guy/Cute Guy Superhero AU, though that's not the only thing that'll be going on! I plan to keep this series in chronological order, so I'll put all the pieces where they'd fall along the timeline, which may sometimes not line up with the publishing date. The exception to this is 'Pretty Boy' which, IF someone does want to read the whole series in order, I'd want them to have read that one first and then all the rest, so 'Pretty Boy' will always be the first fic in the line-up, but after that you could read chronologically or just bounce around as you please! I've written all of these to mostly stand-alone, so you shouldn't be too terribly confused no matter where you decide to start up!

    Ask me about the series or just come say hi on tumblr! @amethystfairy1

    This series is also being adapted into podfics by @boo-the-AHH if you prefer the audio format!

    Illustrations for this series are by @khoirkid!

    Summary

    Etho had found in the depths so many things.
    It was the lowest point of the Under-City, metaphorically and literally. He'd been running jobs for the mobsters that controlled this area for as long as he could remember, another gutter rat trying to make it to his next meal. He wasn't above playing with someone's naive ideas of empathy, he didn't feel bad for manipulating others to pity him as just a helpless kid. A runaway redstone pallet leads him to meet Doc, a creeper mutant with a genius complex and enough sarcasm and bravado to make Etho want to try stabbing him again. The two of them were in direct competition, and Etho hadn't signed on for things getting any more difficult than they already were.
    He'd found a lot in the depths. Scraped up enough to survive here. He hadn't been looking for a purpose to put his life on the line, but then again... wasn't that how the very best things were? After all, he hadn't been looking for love, either. Yet here it was.

    {In which Etho wants to stab anything and everything, Doc's sailing a boatload of trauma topped by a genius complex, nobody is getting out of this intact, and yeah, it was bad, but if it hadn't been bad, they wouldn't have made it out of the dark.}

    Summary

    Grian hadn't ever been expecting someone to follow through on courting ritual with him. He'd been crushing hard on his co-worker turned crime-fighting partner for years at this point, and Scar certainly had no idea that avians had that sort of thing. Specific little thoughtful gestures that would send a sign that whoever was doing the deed was interested. And as much as Grian would adore being spoiled by Scar performing all these little things that made his wings ruffle under his red sweater, pleased and basking in the attention, he knew it would never happen. Scar didn't know about avian courtship ritual.
    He didn't.
    Grian knew that he didn't know.
    So if he didn't, why was he doing every ritual so perfectly?

    {In which Scar stumbles ass-backward into performing all 5 of the typical avian courtship gestures in his attempts at wooing Grian, Grian is desperately trying to convince himself he's still in the friend zone, Jimmy's busy having his own relationship crisis, and Pearl will meddle all she needs if it'll get these idiots together already.}

    GUYS I FOUND THE NEW MEANING OF LIFE

    Summary

    There are two types of people in this world: those made to be observed and their observers. Mumbo is the latter; he never considered himself to be anything else. Unfortunately for Grian, he never noticed there were any types.

    What do you get when you mix and overly anxious music engineer and a star singer? Obviously they fall in love!

    Summary

    “It suddenly struck me that the tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.”

    –Niel Armstrong
    _____________________________

    If the history of planet Earth were to be etched onto the face of a clock, the entirety of human history- as they exist today from the beginning of time -all of it, would amount to less than a single second.

    And that’s only considering the history of Earth. The Universe at large is millions upon billions upon quintillions of years older than that. Enough time for stars to die, for solar systems to decompose, rot away into nothing but solar dust and crumbling asteroids.

    Tommy had never been a fan of outer space.
