Moth Seeking Moon (Will accept candle as substitute) by EntropyHours
Fandoms: Life Series | 3rd Life SMP Series, Hermitcraft SMP
29 Jun 2025

Summary
"Oh jeez. Sorry about that folks. Oh wow — testing, testing, 1, 2, 3 — Hey, these things are really cool, very professional."
Grian is hit by two things: first, the American accent, second, a wave of indignation.
Because as she glances over, a pit of dread sinks its way into her stomach. A foretelling of oncoming doom, comparable to any conventional omen.
Because sitting propped up on a stool in the centre of the raised platform that doesn't quite constitute a stage, is a woman. A woman with an acoustic guitar. Which can only mean one thing. The volume of the backing sound system dies down, gone are the slightly wheezy indie rock hits, preparing for whatever horrors a woman in a pub with an acoustic guitar who hasn't experienced bloody microphone feedback before has in store for them.
(in which Gem bets Grian she can set her up with a girlfriend, three lesbians and one bisexual bitch at a pub and Grian meets Scar, an encounter that's very incidental and definitely won't alter the future trajectory of her life)
Part of a series, but it's a prequel so can (and maybe should?) be read first.

Summary
It is frustratingly easy to get into the swing of life in the human world.
There'd be something thrillingly vindicating if despite all his words and platitudes, there was nothing Mumbo could actually do to fit into human society.
It would also have been really, really convenient.
The two of them would get ousted from this strange, small group of young adults who had taken it upon themselves to adopt two random stragglers into their number. The joy, whimsy and curiosity would be crushed from Mumbo's soul, he wouldn't be able to hold a job and make new friends due to the devastatingly crushed soul thing. Blah, blah, blah. The two of them would have no choice but to work together to find a way back to the Otherworld. All in all, it would be wins across the board for Lizzie.
Alas, instead, Grian's still not evicted Mumbo from his sofa and Lizzie now attends Tuesday board game night.
It's bullshit!!!!
(in which Lizzie bemoans how she, powerful fae of the impermeable shadows, ended up playing board games on Cleo's living room floor)

Does Sabrina Scarpenter is Gay? by EntropyHours
Fandoms: 3rd Life | Last Life SMP Series, Hermitcraft SMP
01 Apr 2025
Tags
Summary
Sabrina Scarpenter is one of the most notoriously heterosexual pop stars there is, her most popular songs quite literally being about her relationships with men and associated "escapades".
Despite this, there's a niche conspiracy theory online convinced that this is all a front and she is actually sending covert signals to her most dedicated fans that she's in reality been a lesbian all along.
Grian thinks this is frankly bullshit and is going to prove these fans wrong once and for all.

(In which the author thought the words 'Sabrina Scarpenter Gaylor Conspiracy' and this April Fool's joke got real out of hand)

~*---*~
(in which Cleo’s throwing a murder mystery party to celebrate her deathday, Grian gets far too invested in his role as detective and Scar wants to take their situationship and make it a relationship. Oh and also they’re all Halloween monsters, that’s probably important.)

Moths to a Fluorescent Flame by EntropyHours for AnxiousPotionofGloom
Fandoms: 3rd Life | Last Life SMP Series, Hermitcraft SMP
12 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
Scar's there, standing, a cheeky, ever so slightly bashful grin on her face. It's almost a smirk, her classic slightly off-kilter upturned smile that frequently makes a cosy home on the tanned lines of her face. She makes a door opening gesture with her arms, a silly, dramatic thing that involves far too much motion for the small amount it realistically communicates.
Can I come out?
I'll leave you alone if you really want.
Grian doesn't know what she really wants. In there it's warmth and joy and noise and people and the fear that all this is transient and bound to crumble in her careless hands. Out here it's cold and lonely and unchanging stillness and safety. Devil you know better than the devil you don't. Moth burning up in the neon radiation it trusts more than anything else. Icarus inside, Icarus outside.
(in which a substantial New Year's kiss is shared at midnight, but feelings are best left unspoken)

Summary
Light skitters over the planes of Grian’s form, icy whitish-blue of winter sunrise interlacing with ambient reflections of the painted red timber of the caboose walls – smattering his face with a muddled incandescence, flecks of pink and blue adding to the pre-existing dotted expanse of freckles. He’s been sleeping in Scar’s caboose for the better part of the last couple of weeks. It was a subtle shift, not that abnormal really – it’s by no means the first time they’ve shared a bed. It might even feel weirder not to: an implacable, lingering feeling that this has been their sleeping arrangement for much longer than the scant days Scar can precisely recall it. A cloying aura of sticky unawareness that Scar wishes he wasn’t accustomed to. A tar of unknowable absence, tinged with hints of nostalgia and implacable loss.
~*---*~
(in which Scar wakes to a dreamlike morning with Grian)

Summary
It starts as a small little thing. Hardly of note really. The smudging of ink, a misplaced cue - the crossing of threads not yet tightly wound enough to be a knot. Easily amended, with a little effort to spot it.
Grian's placed himself down, sitting cross-legged at the edge of their desert mountain. Performing lookout, allegedly, but his posture reads much more as an overblown sulk. Back hunched, head in hands, staring wistfully out at the land stretching below him - a drama of indenture - a bird caged by something more tangible than mere honour.
He's silhouetted by the setting sun, the tips of his honey-blonde hair catching the edges of sunbeam, casting him in a warm, sticky glow.
They’ve not built anything yet: their only protection from the elements blind hope, the flicker of torchlight and as of yet unestablished trust in one another. Building the foundation for anything takes time, effort and dedication. And it takes a first step.
~*---*~
(in which Scar finds himself in a death game, tries to create a desert monopoly and well… you know how the story goes)

Summary
Do you think we could love too?
Would you ever want to? It seems an awful lot of work. It causes them such great grief.
One supposes it is high risk, low reward.
Would you want to love?
I want everything I don’t have.
I am frustrated by lack. That a being as cosmically insignificant as them experiences such unfathomable things I cannot.
~*---*~
(in which two Watchers endeavour to understand love)

Summary
This current situation resulted from something of an obsession Scar had acquired in the past week. They’d happened upon a wandering trader whilst scouting out some resources, who’d been willing to trade emeralds for a sachet of dried yeast, of all the things. Scar had proceeded with the trade almost immediately and had been virtually vibrating with excitement at the concept of baking actual bread. Grian had been surprised that he hadn’t come back from an evening lookout to find bread laid out already: impulse control not being a strong suit of those no longer green. But Scar, despite his obvious anticipation, had been waiting for something, and apparently that something was now.
~*---*~
(in which Grian is injured, so to stop him exacerbating the injury through straining himself, Scar teaches him how to bake bread)

Summary
Exams were over and they were all ready to head to the pub when Mumbo just had to realise he'd forgotten his provisional licence. So the entirety of the Boatem household, much to Grian's chagrin, was forced to take a detour home. Which of course meant that Mumbo and Scar used the excuse of being home to spend an obscene amount of time grooming and getting ready for the night out. "Night out" being a stretch as realistically they were going to Spoons, buying pitchers of the cheapest alcohol possible, ordering delivery pizza to the side of the Mound and then climbing said Mound. A set of activities that under no circumstances required any effort put towards your appearance.
~*---*~
(in which the Hermits celebrate graduation, Grian and Scar succeed at not making out in a Wetherspoons and wishes are eventually made on stars)

Summary
Scar remembered. He always remembered. He wondered if that was a blessing of Sight or something else.
To see a hundred representations of your own corpse, covering walls of temples throughout the Void, was disquieting. An incessant reminder of a moment he only Saw post-mortem. His body bloodied and bruised, cradled in the arms of a pretty bird, weeping apologies onto his closed eyes and death-cold face.
~*---*~
(in which Scar reflects on his experiences throughout the Life Series as a being not entirely alike to the other players)
