    Summary

    The Hermits have a code phrase. If spoken, this phrase acts as an emergency safe word, telling everyone to stop whatever they’re doing, because something is seriously wrong. Whether it’s from physical or emotional distress, all Hermits know that when someone uses the code, they need help from their chaotic, dysfunctional family.

    Summary

    In which a Watcher learns to be human again, with no small amount of difficulty.

    Or: In which Grian crash-lands into Mumbo's world, promptly dies, and also accidentally acquires a very persistent best friend who seems to think Grian is in dire need of both stability and cuddles. (He's not.)

    (He is.)

    (First chapter was originally part of The Pines, now moved for organizational purposes.)

    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?
