    Summary

    "You're dead," Quackity breathes, horror filling him as though he hadn't been contemplating bringing him back at the funeral, "you're dead and gone, so how-"

    "How am I here?" Schlatt interrupts, cruelty twisting his smile in that painfully familiar way. "Gee, I don't know, Quackity. Maybe next time you want a guy gone, don't eat his heart."

    Quackity begins laughing hysterically until he's sobbing.

     

    or,

    Five times Quackity sees Schlatt's ghost, one time he sees him in the mirror, and one time he sees someone else.

    Summary

    Is one random comment Scar (I think it was Scar) made in the finale going to make me ramble about curses in the Life Series? Yes. Definitely. Absolutely.

    Note: minor spoilers, but not really for anything recent.

    If anyone wants to use any of this, go ahead, some of these ideas are not original, but if you’re going to do any exact quotes then please credit me, otherwise I don’t care.

    Summary

    He remembers calling out to her as he had returned to the castle. Remembers calling her name, expecting to find her there within the stone walls as she always was, waiting for him; the woman not-so-patiently abiding her time as he climbed the wooden stairs to return her things. But she hadn’t responded. The fighting had started again, but he couldn’t find her. And Tango had explained.

    And then he had understood.

    OR

    Bdubs deals with the aftermath of Cleo’s death.

    Summary

    Gem knows all of them, and yet she's never met them before. When she wakes up in a circle of so many others who behave as though this situation is completely and utterly mundane and toss bitter thoughts and inside jokes amongst each other, she's just desperate for an explanation. Scott and Impulse have both been helping her along on the first day, but they just say it's some sort of game. Problem is, they won't tell her the rules, nor the victory conditions.
    There's only so long she'll let them keep her in the dark, though, even if she could've gotten her answer a long time ago if she'd just shot a single glance up.
    And yeah, it's certainly a twisted way to live...but people keep insisting she seemed to just be suited for it.

    Summary

    The issue with Grian is this, he is far too easy to control. It’s a learned thing, a survival method.

    Even the most brutish of killers will keep you around if you prove useful, even the most idiotic will see how you would be better alive than dead.

    -------------

    (A gun does not become dangerous until someone picks it up and aims, Grian does not become dangerous until he has someone to command him.)

    (Grian is useful, Grian is loyal.)

    (It is his fatal flaw.)

    Or; A character study on Grian in 3rd life, and what it means to care for someone.

    Summary

    Gem has seen her friends disappear into death games and return broken and scarred too many times. When she discovers Pearl is about to be sent into another, she knows what she has to do – she will follow Pearl into hell and get her through it safely.

    Unfortunately, the Watchers have different ideas for everyone. They've had enough of standing by and observing. Now, they want control. When Gem's arrival ruins every plan, there's only one thing for them to do: erase her memory of why she's there.

    As the secret tasks become more terrifying and twisted, Gem and Pearl are forced to survive the new world manipulating them – all while figuring out what they want their relationship to become.

    or: a canon-compliant retelling of Secret Life, complete with a queerplatonic GeminiTay/PearlescentMoon relationship

    Summary

    Of course it was Scar. Who else would it be? Scar, who had driven his sword through Etho twice already; it seemed fitting, really, that he'd take Etho's final life too.
    ~~~
    It's the traditional end of season Hermitcraft party. Etho is having a great time until something reminds him of secret life, and he's thrust into a flashback.

    Summary

    Joel, the king of the once prosperous Mezalea, has nothing to live for after the events of the Rapture. His people have fled the lands, his allies have left the world entirely, his love is dead missing.

    He feels Mezalea die around him and accepts his fate, lays to die with each weakening flicker of the Mother Tree that beats in time with his own heart.

    Until Lizzie reappears before him.

    But she's a blank slate. She has no memories of Empires, the ocean, their relationship.

    They were soulmates once, can they be that again?

    Summary

    Scar runs.

    His shoulder hurts and his arm hurts and his back hurts and he’s cold and wet and no one has touched him gently in months, and he runs.

    He doesn’t mean to go to Grian’s house. He had wanted to go home. (Maybe it’s telling, that he’d ended up here instead.)

    Summary

    Was she really that bad? Everyone seemed to think she was.

    Scott glares and Martyn scoffs, and Cleo looks at her with that look that is both weary and sad, pitying. Pearl hates it, and she hates Cleo, and she wishes sometimes that she hadn’t built past that first one-block tower. Wishes that she had acted on her urge to jump in that moment. Brought Scott plummeting down to the ground with her.

    Pearl opens her eyes, wrenching herself out of the memory with a forceful yank.

    She’s on the floor, knees to her chest, and arms wrapped tightly around herself. She’s cold.

    Cleo crouches in front of her, exercise suit stretching around her knees as she leans back on her heels.

    “Hey, Pearl? You good, dude?”

    Summary

    Tango has always been susceptible to an overwhelming fury. This was well known across Hermitcraft and the Life servers. But when the Ranch burns, Jimmy does the one thing no one had ever managed to do before.

    He calms Tango down easily. With words and affection.

    ---

    Or: Tango is used to getting mad and losing himself until he's exhausted or respawns. Instead of letting that happen, Jimmy reaches out and cares for his soulmate.

    Summary

    Tango tilted his head, pieces of the puzzle starting to fit together in his mind. “Jimmy… have you been able to feel my flames the entire game?”

    “Y– yeah? You know that, though. That’s why you…”

    It all clicked together in Tango’s head, like a stubborn redstone component that finally slotted into place. “You thought I was doing it to punish you?”

     

    in which tango's fire but not his resistance to it is transferred to jimmy through their soulbound, and jimmy has neglected to mention it (for reasons that may include immense self loathing).

    Summary

    “How do I know?” The kid spits, knife raised again, trembling violently. His eyes are wet, angry and pleading and piercing right down into Grian’s soul.

    “...If I can fly?” Grian asks, confused. His heart is beating fast.

    The boy shakes his head violently, taking a lurching step forward, now only a few feet away. Something about his eyes almost seems familiar, but the thought is fleeting. The knife looks sharp. The child is crying, slow tears that barely have an effect on his voice.

    No,” the kid says forcefully. “How do I know you’re not a zombie?

     

    OR,

    A young Scar fresh from a world overtaken by zombies stumbles through The Rift onto Hermitcraft, and is quickly adopted by the rest of the Hermits, who have no idea who he actually is.
    An older Scar grapples with a past that he'd rather forget, all while trying to avoid the version of himself he left behind a long time ago.

    Summary

    He’s standing outside of the hot tub with Scott, the barest beginnings of sunlight on the horizon as the moon sets, enjoying a rare moment of sleepy contentedness—

    The hair on the back of his neck stands up, breath freezing in his chest as those familiar whispers build and build and build

    He’s there again, he must be, and he wrenches his eyes shut in an effort to deny it. A childish notion, as if it’s not there just because he can’t see it. He doesn’t want to see it; destroyed bases and empty graves and the statue of a nameless god. A world that, when it couldn’t keep secrets anymore, decided to keep him instead. A cobblestone courthouse. A crumbling trading post. Hundreds of sunflowers, all facing towards the Secret Keeper. Ready for harvest, soon. About to die on their own if he doesn’t kill them first—

    Summary

    Scar spends each day in the warmth of Hermitcraft, as soon as the sun sets he's back in Secret life. Trapped between two bodies and two realities, he tends a field of sunflowers in the decaying world he earned his crown in, reliving his darkest victories until dawn (and some shadowy figures) pull him back to naive safety. In spring he plants the seeds; in summer he culls the stalks; in autumn he harvests them; and in winter he watches them decay.

    -

    or, every night Scar is in Secret Life, and every morning he forgets. Follow him over a year.
