    Summary

    The awkward kid standing in front of him has to be, what, twenty five? Twenty six, tops. Hardly a kid at all, really, but Jeez, does Bdubs ever feel like an old geezer looking at him.

    “Etho?” he says experimentally.

    The kid blinks over at him owlishly. “Bdubs?” he says and, yeah, that’s Etho’s voice alright. Quiet and unsure, and softer than it’s been in years, but definitely, definitely Etho.

    As sculk contamination puts the future of Season 10 in doubt, the situation gets more complicated when an Etho from 2013 lands in the hermits' laps.

    Summary

    It’s strange. Only now, confronted with the very thing he came down here to find, is reality enforcing itself upon Bdubs.

    This is impossible. Maybe the blackbox of Etho’s AI could be retrieved, but at a depth of 36,000 feet his netherite-fibered body would have lasted six seconds at most before his lovely face pulverized. Whatever’s left might as well be a husk of radiation. He is not outside the submersible. No one is.

    And still. A knock on the door. One-two-three. Polite and patient.

     

    (At the bottom of the ocean, Bdubs studies microbes with the help of the CONCORP android Etho. They are not alone.)

    Summary

    Etho blatantly stares at him, ears slowly turning bright pink.

    Okay, Bdubs thinks, and finds himself grinning, warmth uncurling inside him. It feels, weirdly, like rediscovering something. Like he’s been fumbling around in the dark and has finally found the lightswitch. Okay. Yeah, okay.

    Despite the death games, Bdubs can put love above self-preservation. For Etho, it's the other way around.

    Summary

    The question of coughing haunted Marcille. Even after she opened up an old tome from the Golden Country and wheezed her way through the resulting dust cloud, the question stuck in her mind. How many little desires were there in life? How many that might not be missed until something had gone wrong?
    She ran her mind through everything she did daily, almost obsessively. She ate, she drank water and tea and wine, she slept. She bathed, still, and she washed her hair even though she had no drive to, because washing her hair was part of bathing. She wanted to blow her nose when it ran. She wanted warm hands and feet and a cool pillow under her head.

     

    Marcille learns about more easy-to-overlook but still necessary desires, and begins to spiral.

    Summary

    He should ask her.

    He should open his mouth and ask her if she’d woven something into the fabric that would make him feel like a ray of sunlight has singled his heart out-

    But when he opens his mouth, his words tangle up in the back of his throat, and all he can do is fumblingly bring his hand to his chin, before smacking its back to the palm of his other hand. 'Thank you,' he signs, and Saula gives a warm, big, laugh. The Gerudo weren’t completely familiar with Hylian sign language when he’d first arrived - but it seems his time in the town has led to a few of the more used signs becoming recognizable.

    “Of course,” she says. “Every Vai deserves to feel beautiful!”

     

    Or: Link spends time in Gerudo town, and grapples with liking being seen as a Vai a little too much.

    Summary

    Mumbo stands in the beginning of the end of his creations, and he’s not numb to it so much as he’s useless, made to stand in place as he watches what he loves become history that may never be discovered again, and-

    The fog creeps around him again.

    “Really?” he demands the sky, and something sharp is eager to fill the hurt void in his chest. “Come on mate, honestly - at least give me something interesting to dream about! This is just- just- pants! Honestly, could you at least give me a night of, oh, I dunno, something more cheerful than a bloody funeral? Quite frankly, it’s getting boring.”

    The fog closes in a little until the wisps of black tease along his arms. He faintly thinks he might wake up.

    "I’m sorry,” a voice says suddenly, and Mumbo’s heart seizes. It’s not his, nor the hermits, or any voice he recognizes. “Unfortunately, I’m afraid we’re both outta luck here, fella.”

    Mumbo blinks, dazed, glancing back and forth. The motion feels like freefall. There’s… nothing. No one, except...

    “Pardon me,” Mumbo says faintly, “are you… the fog?”

    Or: Mumbo's dreams are haunted by a mysterious shadow, and his days are haunted by a faulty jukebox.

    Summary

    To a distant observer, clocks near a black hole would appear to tick more slowly than those farther away from the black hole. Due to this effect, known as gravitational time dilation, an object falling into a black hole appears to slow as it approaches the event horizon, taking an infinite time to reach it. At the same time, all processes on this object slow down, from the viewpoint of a fixed outside observer, causing any light emitted by the object to appear redder and dimmer, an effect known as gravitational redshift. Eventually, the falling object fades away until it can no longer be seen. Typically this process happens very rapidly with an object disappearing from view within less than a second.

    Etho stares down at the kid. He's all scratched up, and he's clutching a music disk in his hand. Really, it's not that unusual of a sight. People do stupid things all the time. The only thing that really stands out is the fact that Etho's on a single player world. This kid shouldn't have even been able to get here.

    Summary

    Jimmy dies as he always does: unceremonious and completely his fault. It's what he does best. This time, he takes Tango down with him, the man he's learned to love in the fraction of the time they were there. He lives with that memory for weeks in the dust of Tumble Town, half wondering if it was ever real in the first place. And he assumes Tango does too, in his own little world away from it all.

    One morning, Gem approaches him. She asks him a simple question:

    "What do you want to say to Tango when I'm there?"

    (where tango and jimmy send letters over an incredible distance)

    Summary

    There are a number of differences between the first version of Third Life and the second. The largest, perhaps, being the fact it can’t be called Third Life at all, considering the odds are heavily against any one person living and dying no more and no less than three times. It is a crueler game this time, resources even more limited, the bloodlust of one’s last life cranked up to eleven and impossible to remain allies with anyone who can’t understand that need, and the infamous, regular presence of the Boogeyman curse leaving even the strongest alliances only one moment of mistrust away from shattering.

    And that is, of course, before adding in one Watcher of indiscernible motives and their interest in a lost fool of a pet playing a higher game he knows nothing about and a second Watcher determined to piece back together the facsimile of a family he had once had.

    But the third comes into this game bereft of himself from a code gone wrong, unsure just what it is he’s fighting for, bloodied and bruised for a cause he can’t remember, knowing above all else he has to win this game again. So why is it that every blow he deals seems to hurt Grian more than anyone on the other end of it?
