    Summary

    He was about halfway to the helicopters that he saw the heroes all finding various exits to the Vault, which was very rapidly falling apart and collapsing into the ground. They all looked relatively unharmed, nothing that would need a healer.

    But someone was missing.

    "Shockwave! It's time to go!" Grian grabbed his arm, startling him and breaking his gaze away from where the heroes were regrouping. "The heroes are going to send even more people, we have to leave!"

    "Wait, there's someone still inside!" Impulse turned to face the Vault, pulling his arm from his grip.

    "No, I did a head count, we have everyone. Now come on, we need to leave!"

    "She's not a villain, she's a hero. I can't leave her behind."

    Grian reached for his arm again. "She'll be fine, the heroes always bounce back!"

    "Skizz isn't with them anymore, she won't survive." Impulse moved out of his reach, already going back towards the prison. Behind him, he could hear Grian muttering something about "stupid ex heroes and their moral compasses".

    "Well, hurry! I'll be outside!"

    -

    or, six months after the first vault breakout, grian and impulse return to finish the job. they find a hero trapped in the rubble.

    Summary

    Grian had crash-landed in an abandoned world where nobody resides, locked away from players, and forced to live a life of solidarity for his own safety away from the Watchers. But then something peculiar happens…

    The avian finds a group, a bundle of people that calls themselves the ‘Hermits’, all from different walks of life, some even hybrids, who had joined the world and claimed it as their own! So now he’s tasked to figure out why everybody is so strange while ensuring they don’t figure out he doesn’t belong. Shouldn’t be so hard…

    -
    Or, the Hermits are jumping from world to world and happen to join the world Grian is living on. Grian tries to get them off it to live a quiet life away from the Watchers but unfortunately for him, they are persistent.

    Summary

    They stopped once they reached another big clearing and oh—he’d thought Pearl had been exaggerating about how overgrown the property had become. But wild weeds and debris stretched as far as the eye could see. Fields of wheat and corn had given way to sturdy maples and pine trees.
    And the house… Well, it looked as though no one had set foot in or around it for more than a decade.
    “Told you it was bad,” Pearl half-snickered.
    “You’re exaggerating! With enough time this can all be fixed up easily.”
    “Says the carpenter. The house looks like it’s being held together with duct tape and Gramps’ old stubbornness! Are you sure this is even safe to stay in?”
    Grian waved a hand in dismissal. “I went to check it over a few days back. It’s not a luxury resort or anything, it’s covered in about an inch layer of dust and I’m pretty sure a lot of the wiring and plumbing needs to be redone, but it’s not going to collapse at a moment's notice.”
    “Reassuring,” Jimmy mumbled under his breath

    Or

    After a rough couple of months, Jimmy realizes he needs a change. Solution? Moving back to his childhood home in Pelican Town

    Summary

    'As the words leave him, Grian’s head shoots up so fast it’s like someone’s cracked a whip. His smoke-coloured eyes, once rife with mistrust and fear, seem almost hopeful now.

    Doc knows it’ll take some convincing to get him on board with the idea, considerably more once his sister wakes up; and going from one child to three will certainly be an adjustment, but in all honesty?

    Maybe it’ll be nice to have his own little family.'

    A cowboy/western AU centered around Grian, Jimmy, and Pearl!! Come and follow along for the shenanigans, I promise you won't regret it!! <3
