    Summary

    Someone asked for "The Nein's first experience in Mordenkainen's mansion after Caleb learns to cast it". This is literal world-building so of COURSE it got really long and involved.

    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

    Summary

    “One.” She counts as she goes, setting the squirming kitten down gently.
    “Two.” She’s smiling, now, and with the adrenaline beginning to fade Percy feels he can too.
    “Three - oh, sweetie, you’re still damp.” Her face becomes something heartbreaking at the realization.
    “Four - and five.” He hands her the last one, hand trembling almost as much as it is.
    Five kittens. All squirming, to some degree or another - none still, at least. Two at least are whimpering, doing their best to knead at the nearest soft thing. Another is pushed over by its siblings and wails. Percy slowly tips it back upright.

    --

    When the stray Percy had been feeding surprises him with a litter dumped in his workshop, there's really only one person he thinks to turn to for help.

    Summary

    “What about you, Percival?” she asks. “First person you ever shagged?”

     

    For a split-second he can feel his mind reaching back, searching for the memory, and hitting a wall; and even though he knows what’s behind it, knows he could leave it closed, in that second he pushes it aside.

    Something like a Percy character study/backstory headcanon.
