sundown (tell me everything is okay) by Finding_Crows
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic
20 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
“Well?” Jean challenged, bold enough to make something in Jeremy’s chest race. “You told me to do it before. It’s your turn.”
Jeremy had told Jean, once, that crying was healthy.
He was a hypocrite. He knew that. The idea of having Jean find out, though, made Jeremy’s stomach churn. “I’m good.”
“You are not.”
Or, Jeremy has an anxiety attack and Jean doesn't leave him alone.

try to break ground (make way for tomorrow) by Finding_Crows
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic
04 Jan 2026

Summary
The echoing words of himself lingered as he reached back into his pocket. He opened the carton and retracted the lighter, turning it over in his hand. It was a fresh one, its usage light considering it had been bought only a few days before his conversation with Moreau in California. Andrew kept his hold on it, shutting the box of cigarettes closed.
Andrew did not do things impulsively. He also did not believe in doing things for symbolic purposes; if it was necessary, it would prove a message significant enough in itself. He quickly deemed his action neither as he tossed the box over the side of the roof.
Or, Andrew wakes up from a nightmare and goes to the roof.

Summary
“How’s your pain?” Jeremy asked. Jean brought his hand up, tilting it back and forth in a so-so motion. Jeremy frowned. “Usually this bad?”
“Usually does not happen at all,” Jean shrugged. “I am managing.”
Jeremy paused, as if thinking. He turned to make sure the women were still busy, and Jean mused that they were practically making out at this point, but his thoughts came to a grinding halt when Jeremy leaned beside his ear. His breath was hot on Jean’s cheek as he spoke in quiet French.
Jean’s head spun; this time, not from the pain. I could help you, if you wanted.
“Oh, and how is that, Jeremy?”
“I can show you tonight,” he offered casually. “After Cat and Laila go to bed?”
Jean forced himself to retain eye contact and ignore the growing feeling in his abdomen. He hummed. “We’ll see.”
Or, for the first time since leaving the Nest, Jean gets his period; Jeremy offers to help.

Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic
26 Jul 2025

Summary
“Journaling,” Betsy Dobson had told Aaron one session, “is a great method for expressing your feelings. I understand how it can seem unappealing and vulnerable, but I find it’s a good place to start.”

Or, Aaron Minyard tries journaling for the first time, attempting to follow Bee's advice.

he's like a poem (i wish i wrote) by Finding_Crows

Summary
Jeremy glanced back at Laila, who gave an approving nod. Having Jean fall asleep in their company couldn’t be anything but a good sign, even if it was simply because he was so tired he couldn’t think straight. He gave her an enthusiastic thumbs up and nearly jumped when a weight pressed against his side.
Jean must have slipped against the couch in his sleep, leaning so close to Jeremy that he ended up on his shoulder. Jeremy sucked in a deep breath, internally panicking, then panicking that Jean might wake up from his panicking. He looked back at Laila, who smirked.
He mouthed, “Don’t you dare say anything about this.”
Or, where Jean falls asleep during movie night, and Jeremy has an internal crisis about it.

Summary
“Oh, Soda, I–” Darry hiccuped. Soda did his best to keep his expression neutral; he had never seen Darry so distressed, at least not since their parents. “He–”
“Here,” Soda said gently, prying the papers from his hands. He let them go with another choke. “Let me see this, yeah?” Soda looked down at the top page and recognized Pony’s scribbled handwriting. The papers were addressed to Mr. Syme and titled “Final Report.” He glanced back at Darry, who stared into the sink.
“Which page has you like this?”
“He just-- oh, Soda, he thinks--” tears began streaming down Darry’s face again. “He thinks I hate him."Or, where Soda finds Darry late at night after finding Pony's final English report.

Summary
“Cleo, stay with me,” he said quickly, holding her hand tighter. Cleo’s eyes remained hazy, but they turned their head to look at him.
“I’m here,” she said quietly.
“No, you’re- no, no, we’re going to be fine. You’ll be fine.”
“Etho,” Cleo sighed, leaning their weight onto Etho’s shoulder. She had been sitting up in the grass, trying to sew her body back together, and now… “You’re such a loser. Did I ever tell you that?”Or, what if Cleo and Etho had died together in Secret Life rather than apart?

Summary
"How do I hold it?" Gem squeaked, her grip on the bow faltering.
"Seriously?" Etho scoffed. "No wonder the crops have been lacking this year, the farmers don't even teach their kids how to use bows."

"Sir, if you're not going to teach me how to use this damn thing, I'm going to wack you over the head with it."Or, a Ranger's Apprentice AU where Apprentice Gem and Ranger Etho are both inconvenienced by the arrangement, but end up putting their differences aside when they realize there's a bigger threat at hand than each other's incompetence.

“Heya, Gemstone, do you remember where the-” he cut himself off, glancing between Gem’s beet-red face and Pearl’s confused expression. “Oh! Hey, Pearlo, welcome to town! Good to see you two are getting along.”
Pearl tilted her head. Gem pointed at the window and called out.
“Hey, what’s that?”
“What’s what?” Pearl turned quickly, scanning the windows.
Gem turned to Skizz and drew a single finger across her throat. Skizz shrugged before grinning and giving a whistle.
She turned back to Pearl. “Oh, it must have been my imagination. Oops.”
Or, where Pearl is visiting Hermitport for the holidays and accidentally develops a crush on the local baker- luckily, it doesn't seem that she's the only one down bad.

Summary
“Skizz was online and found some event thing,” Etho said slowly. “It’s where people write… stories, I guess? And they’re pretty entertaining, but it’s kind of a surreal experience, honestly.”
Gem tilted her head. “What do you mean stories? Why would they be surreal?”
“Well, y’know how Hermitcraft is technically a private server, but people know about it anyway?” Tango asked. Gem nodded, confused. “Some people like to imagine stories with us, the members, as the centers of them.”
“Hold on,” she said, crossing her arms. “You’re telling me you guys found out what fanfiction is?”

Summary
It sounded again, a little louder this time. Grian pushed himself off the floor, eyes going hazy for a second before he balanced himself. His wings dragged him down, messy and unkept, but he continued until he felt his feet dip in the sand. It burned his heels, making him wince, and then he almost blacked out at the sight in front of him.
Scar, beautiful and kind Scar, was no longer rotting into mush in the sand. Instead, he was sitting, an arm propping him up, and breathing. He wasn’t exactly grinning as he normally would, but he smiled so brightly when he saw Grian that it made him want to sob.
Or, a ficfight oneshot where Scar comes back to life after the cactus ring and Grian feels like life is worth living again.

Gem froze.Or, a ficfight oneshot where Gem wants Pearl to ask her out- luckily, her wish comes true.

Summary
“You’re insane,” Cleo spat, the most hostile Pearl had ever heard them.
“I will be the villain in this story if you keep making me into one.”
It was Scott’s turn to laugh. “We didn’t make you into anything, Pearl. You did this all on your own. There’s a reason no one wants to team with you, you know that, right?”
“You two threw me away for an accident and made the whole server hate me!” Pearl yelled, anger rising to her chest. It was a new type of fire- it wasn’t a small one that she had to keep relighting, keep using the smallest sticks she could find to keep it burning. This was bright, bigger than anything she had ever been in her life, and it cried; Pearl didn’t know if it wanted to be put out or fed. She chose the latter.Or, a ficfight oneshot about Pearl's anger and grief in Double Life.
