    Summary

    Donnie collided with Leo in a tangle of limbs. There was an instinctive cling in return from his twin, before the realization sunk in.

    "No." Leo breathed in his ear, immediately shattered. "No, no, no, no, no!”

    Every muscle in Donnie's body was shaking like an earthquake from the amount of effort he'd just expended. The explosion caught up to them, sending the twins spiralling away into space and debris.

    For one singular moment, Donnie allowed himself a burst of victory. His heart was still thudding a thousand miles an hour in his chest, having been absolutely terrified he wasn't going to make it in time. But he did. And he held onto Leo, his prize.

    Then they hit the ground, the sudden tumble bursting them apart. Donnie felt the world spin, rapid and disorientating, before he slammed into something rock and cracking under his impact.

    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

    In 1988, Mumbo goes missing. In 1989, Grian becomes a fire lookout in the national forest he was last seen in. It's a desperate, last ditch attempt to save the person who means the most to him: his best friend. If nobody else can find Mumbo, then surely Grian can.

    In 1979, Scar suffers an accident that changes the course of his life. In 1981, he starts an off-beat job in the middle of nowhere to try and begin anew. He works as a fire lookout in Shoshone National Forest for 8 years before meeting Grian--and maybe, just maybe, the two of them were somehow meant to cross paths.

    This series centers around the main fic, The Incandescence of a Dying Light. There will not be a sequel to the fic, but I have a whole host of complimentary material set inside the AU. This AU will deal with strong themes of grief and mental health. It will also have a lot of science and extremely specific research!

    Serotiny is a botanical term describing the actions a plant might take--such as going to seed--after a trigger factor is met. It's most commonly used to describe pyriscent plants, whose seeds only germinate after experiencing wildfire.

    It's a period of growth after disaster.
