    Summary

    Tango’s stomach dropped, a dread building in his chest that he hadn’t been expecting when he’d come home with iron and food for his soulmate. His eyes were locked on the shining golden apple sitting in Jimmy’s outstretched hand.
    “...where’d you find that?” he breathed, tension straining the soulbond.
    “Pearl,” Jimmy told him. His voice was calm, even, unfazed - as though it was just another normal day and he wasn’t holding the potential end of their bond in the palm of his hand. “She was saving it for herself, but when I asked for it, apparently she thought I needed it more.”

    OR: Tango comes home to find Jimmy holding a golden apple...but not everything is as it seems.

    Summary

    “Being a ghost is stupid,” Jimmy says petulantly. “You just poked straight through my chest, which I would ordinarily be upset about. But I’ve been dead for four years, so I’m not mad at you about it. I mean, I’m mad, but not at you specifically.”

    Or: Tango's ranch is haunted. It's not nearly as big of a problem as he expected it to be.

    Summary

    It had been one year since Jimmy broke the magebond with his former witch and left the cottage behind.
    One year since he was last able to perform a full familiar shift, his canary form beyond his reach.
    One year since he joined the Southlands Coven at Grian’s invitation.
    One week since a healing crystal experiment blew up the coven's keep.
    One week since Grian and Martyn found out he couldn’t transform properly, and four days since they’d sent him off to attune.
    One day since Jimmy had arrived in town, and half a day since he started his hike into the woods.
    Half an hour since he’d attempted an attunement.
    Ten minutes since a monster cornered him in a clearing.
    Five minutes since a stranger saved his life.

    (Eleven months since Jimmy had spoken Scott’s name.)

     

    OR: A misadventure in the woods leads to a night spent at a stranger’s campsite, an unexpected friendship, the swapping of life stories, a lesson in magic, and the beginning of something entirely unexpected...not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    “You want me to do what?” the civilian asked disbelievingly, and Scar’s body language shifted to that of an impatient trainer, one whose fuse was running short. It was a precursor to bad things, like being tased or forced onto a treadmill for hours; Mumbo flinched even knowing it was an act, and the civilian cut off with a squeak, so Mumbo knew he felt the same way.

    Or possibly that was the gun. Scar having a gun seemed more likely as an explanation, now that Mumbo thought of it.

    Stealing the car would be better, but they had no idea where they were going, and neither of them was familiar with road laws. What if they hit a person while driving? What if there was some sort of kill switch in the car that the owner could flip to blow it up with them inside? Anti-villain tech had to be wild, from what the Foundation had on hand– and they were villains now for sure. Not just for defying the Foundation, but for this. Heroes didn’t take the actions he and Scar were taking.

    Summary

    Everything hurts.

    Memories come back in flashes, less images and more physical sensations– rough hands trailing down his sides, nails raking across flesh. The sharp burn of alcohol.

    The cold weight of a missing presence, a lonely house. The thrill in every ping! of his phone.

    A text saying, “I’ll be back before you know it!”

    (Seriously, what the hell did he do?)

    Summary

    A web of lies and secrets is laid over the Hermitcraft server, and the Life Series is at the center of it all.
    To mollify the Watchers, the Life Series is created as a blood sacrifice, and a memory block is instituted to protect the players.

    But the memory block is crumbling, and slowly, the players are forced to remember the traumatic events of the games.

    Between romance and friendship, between trauma and healing, between progress and fallbacks, the players fight to get their lives back from the claws of the Watchers.

    Summary

    In which Mumbo crosses several towns, learns some creative methods of self-defense, fights some monsters, sees things no human is meant to have seen, befriends a stranger, steals multiple cars, has inconvenient moral scruples, grows increasingly terrified of his own culpability in the apocalypse, grows a spine, blows up at least one building, accidentally prevents a murder, and attempts to find his best friend in the futile but ever-burning hope the man’s still alive.

    He has to say, he’s so exhausted and terrified that he thinks he might just be mad?

    (OR: the one where, after most of humanity turns into a series of terrifying monsters, Mumbo decides he’s going to risk his life on an apocalypse road trip to try to find out if Grian is alive. Things, as you might imagine, devolve from there.)

    Summary

    They’re all shouting. Skizz tells Bdubs to stop, Etho does the same but with a little less conviction. Bdubs is screaming apologies. Tango doesn’t even know what he’s shouting, desperately rolling out of the way, stumbling to his feet and towards the staircase. He throws a pearl. He feels Bdubs’ axe almost dig into his back-

     

    'Tango was slain by BdoubleO100'

     

    Tango’s stumbling out of the bed before he can even get his bearings. He grips his sword when he hears blocks breaking behind him, but it’s just Skizz coming to let him out. He half slams into the man’s chest, already clamoring for Bdubs. Skizz holds his wrist.

    When he tugs and Skizz doesn’t let go, Tango exhales and sees red.

    Summary

    “You…” Ren attempted, mouth moving clumsily as he kept staring at Grian’s obviously uncomfortable expression. “You want me to rate your bits. You know that’s mostly a joke, right? Who told you about that?”

    Grian ducked his face down further, huddling deeper into the oversized sweater he was wearing. The smaller man avoided Ren’s eyes when he muttered, “Iskall… but he also told me you’d do it if I was serious.”

    Jimmy is quite near his breaking point. He’s managed to keep his head on straight after the wallpaper and the statue and the wither, but one of these days, he’s going to snap. Honestly, he’s running out of things to lose.
    At least he’s still got his soulmate.

    Or: the ranchers mean a lot to each other.

    Summary

    The fact that Tango is a star doesn’t particularly matter in his day-to-day life. No one’s ever heard of someone else like him, sure, but that’s not alarming—players come in all sorts of shapes and species. Everyone makes a comment when they first meet, usually about how he literally exudes warmth or how they thought his hair was made of fire or how there are little freckles around his eyes that look like stars, and then it’s never brought up again. It’s not the most relevant thing about him.
    That is, until the moon starts falling out of the sky.

    Or: Tango fell from space, and it seems to be time for him to fly back up.

    Summary

    After the Rage comes to the grief.

    Jimmy is worried about the listless state Tango has collapsed into now that his fury has burned out along with the rest of their home. All he can do is offer what comfort he can; what comfort Tango will let him offer, no matter how much he yearns to offer something more.
     
    But after the inferno has passed, new life often awakens.
    ...and perhaps the soulmates might find something new growing in their bond amidst the ashes.
