    Summary

    The silence that followed was just as thick in the air, Pyro could almost feel it as it settled heavily around him. His fingers tensed in the space just above the door handle, itching to grab it so he could leave as quickly as possible.

    He stayed rooted in place instead.

    ~~
    or; Pyro learns something about home. He's not okay about it.

    Summary

    “It doesn’t have to end,” ‘Strength’ said, his smile never falling. “At least, not for a little while longer.”

    “And did you have something in mind then?” Scott asked, head tilting again in curiosity.

    Strength walked closer to him, and Scott could feel his heart beat wildly in his chest as he reached for one of his hands. Gingerly, Strength bowed, lifting Scott’s hand towards him slightly. “Death, may I have this dance?”

    or; at the end of the night during the Moonlit Masquerade, a dance is shared at the top of the Blue Kingdom castle.

    Summary

    Scott glanced up too, and when Nom looked back down, despite the dimmer lights around them, the bright red flush on Scott’s face wasn’t hard to miss. His heart skipped a beat that he tried to ignore. “Um, Nom? That’s… mistletoe…”

    It took a second for the words to register, Scott’s voice was quiet in the atmosphere of the party. But he was so close that Nom heard it just as easily as if it were only the two of them in the room. 

    “Oh.”

    or; Scott and Nom find themselves under the mistletoe while at a holiday party

    Summary

    Whatever danger was about to find him, he realized with a sinking feeling of dread in the pit of his stomach, it would find him defenseless. His staff isn’t in his hands, lost somewhere among the battlefield. He wasn’t sure when he lost it.

    What he found instead made his eyes go wide, spotting the familiar dark armor with red accents as it all collapsed to the ground with a loud thunk.

    Scott watched as Nominal collapsed to the ground.

     

    or; scott has a nightmare. nominal helps him calm down.

    Summary

    This time, as he let the door swing closed behind him, Legundo stared in surprised shock to see Louis and Owen both standing by the counter. The lights have been dimmed, some candles burning with a smell like pine trees, and a vase of wildflowers that he vaguely recognized from the delicate dried and pressed ones in the pages of Owen's old letters from Louis.

    “What's all this?”

     

    or; Louis and Owen do something nice for Legundo

    Summary

    “Could you?” The ghost spoke, their voice echoing somewhat in the small space around them that Scott could hear clear as day as it brought a shiver down his spine. It had been nearly two centuries, and the voice of his long dead fledgling sounded as though no time had passed at all.

    Scott steeled himself, taking a breath. “Could I what?”

    “Have done better.”

    or; almost 200 years after what happened in Oakhurst, Scott is confronted with something he hadn't thought about in a long time.

    Summary

    “You try sending letters back and forth for two hundred years and see if you’re not anxious about it. At least it takes at most two weeks these days, it used to be months at a time.”

    Laughing lightly, Legundo just smiled gently as he rummaged through the fridge. “I would’ve thought you’d be texting and calling for hours in your free time. Why stick to the letters?”

    “Louis prefers it,” Owen sighs, though a fond expression crossed his face as he stared down at his lover’s latest letter out in front of him on the counter. “And I… sort of like it. Digital correspondence can be deleted by accident or lost, this way, I always have something of his.”

     

    or; in an alternate timeline of the college au, Owen and Louis have sent letters to each other for the last 200 years. Until one day, they don't need to anymore

    Summary

    Oakhurst was a quaint little town, only a handful of residents compared to the constantly busy and moving city life he used to have back at the Capital. He preferred this, it took a while to get used to, but he did rather enjoy the uneventful life of a small town.

    Sure, it wasn’t without its oddities, and every small town such as Oakhurst had its own legends and generational folklore. Legundo, though, much preferred to stay grounded in the realities of Oakhurst.

    He’d stick to what he can see and feel rather than made up fantasies.

    --

    or: Legundo slowly learns of the existence of vampires. He works to take care of them like any other patient.

    Summary

    Instantaneously, Owen’s hold on his bat form snapped, and he suddenly shifted back to his human form, stumbling on the landing out of Legundo’s hand. “Whoa-” The man caught him before he could collapse onto the floor, and Owen clutched his stomach tightly.

    There was a ringing in his ears that made everything sound muffled. “Are you alright?” He vaguely heard Legundo ask, his arms around him to help keep Owen upright. He immediately shook his head, though the action just made everything spin.

    Summary

    A hand grabbed his wrist gently, stopping Owen in his tracks. Legundo moved in front of him, blocking his path to the couch, not letting go of his wrist. “God, I forgot how stupid you can be sometimes.” The man breathed, and there’s a softness in his voice that startled Owen.

    Blinking in confusion, Owen frowned. “What do you–?”

    He didn’t get a chance to finish the question.

    Or; Owen finds out just how much his doctor cares about him

    Summary

    He also figured that in trying to keep up appearances as human, Owen was tired a lot more often. Which is why this arrangement was working well for them so far.

    With nothing going on during the weekends, since there were no classes, Owen could sleep soundly during the day as Legundo worked throughout it.

    So, that’s what he did.

    Or; a look into Legundo's life with a nocturnal creature living with him

    Summary

    “Owen?”

    The man’s face hardened slightly, his nose scrunching up in discomfort as he hunched in more on himself.

    Legundo stepped towards him slightly, stopping when he saw Owen flinch at the proximity. He stayed just a few feet away from him, but stood in front of the doorway so they could have some semblance of privacy in the kitchen.

    “Owen,” he repeated, voice stern and low. “How long has it been since you last ate?”

    Summary

    In the quiet stillness of the middle of the woods, Legundo just stayed silent as he let Owen let out apologies for a man who’d been gone for centuries. It’s the way that Owen trembles in his arms, the way he hides away his sobs in his chest, that made the realization of just how much his sire had meant to him.

    “I follow no sire,” Owen had said, the venom in his voice before wasn’t out of anger from the conversation, it was more akin to something like mourning, Legundo realized far too late.

Different from the other Drow in his home city in the Underdark, different from the other students at the Towers in Emon, and very different from the adventuring party he found himself a part of. Sometimes, his being different causes a slight hiccup in their travels.

    Summary

    "M-Mika?" The boy stammered out when he didn't say anything once the door opened, his voice small and timid.

    It took a second, but Ezra recognized the boy, the way his watery eyes refused to stay focused on anything was a dead give away. He'd seen the boy at school, only a year younger than him, Mikayla's age. He'd seen him come over to the house multiple times throughout the past three years.

    Zira Grant, his sister's best friend.

    Summary

    "Quackity," He looked back at the avian, "I need you to grab the medical supplies. There's chests upstairs, remember?" He said as calmly as he could. Quackity shook his head to snap back to reality, then nodded, quickly scrambling up the ladder, aided by his wings.

    Looking back down as Karl's hand weakly came up to grasp his shirt, the usual white fabric stained crimson where Karl held it tightly. "S... Sap?"

    "Shh, you're okay, Karl, I've got you. You're going to be okay, I promise." Sapnap told him softly, using his free hand to push the hair out of Karl's face.

    The smaller man hissed in pain again, curling up more on himself and tightening his grip on the shirt. Who had done this to Karl? How had he gotten here? Who had done this?!

    Sapnap took a breath to calm himself. He had to stay focused, for Karl's sake.
    --
    Or: Sapnap and Quackity find Karl after he comes back from his most recent "adventure", and it's just in time.

    As the two will come to find out later, the two seemingly unrelated people have been switched, forced to the other's time period by some outside magical force. Neither Matt nor Diane are entirely sure what's going on, but they'll be forced to interact and gain the trust of the other people around them in these new environments.
