    Summary

    “There’s a man, living out in the woods.”

    “What?” Legundo asked, startled and not understanding. “Ren? Or, I thought Sausage was building inside of the town—“

    “No, someone we don’t know,” Avid said, and now Legundo could see the genuine worry in Avid’s eyes. “Pearl and Pyro ran into him when they were on their way to town— over by the tower, in the middle of the lake,” and already that seemed so long ago, although it was only the day before. “He was cutting down the tree, and uh. I don’t know, isn’t that weird?” Avid asked, his voice pitching up plaintively on the end under Legundo’s silent regard.

    (Another way to say: Louis survives the pyre. Barely.)

    Summary

    "Owen," protested the girl, and her face came into view. "You're scaring him!"

    She looked young. Not much younger than Avid himself though— her hair was a deep russet red, her skin pale and dusted with freckles along the nose. She looked like any other girl in any other village, with an expensive looking skirt and a contrastingly simple woolen jumper. Her hair was plaited into ribbons, gathered in two elaborate bunches to either temple. It made her look younger than she was, combined with the careless way she knelt in the dirt, and the smoke, and the widening puddle of blood that Avid couldn't see the source of.

     

    But when she saw Avid cowering in his stinking bloody box, she smiled, and Avid saw two very sharp teeth.

    Summary

    "Tell me, do your friends know where you are?”

    Legundo didn’t answer. He simply swallowed, conscious of the fact that Scott could hear every mechanism and sound of his body, from the thud of his heart to the damp rasp of his palms as he clenched his fingers. He wondered if he could hear the creak of his joints, as Legundo shifted backwards away from that cold hand. If he did, he paid it no mind, the fingers on his chin instead sliding down to Legundo’s collar, where his starched coat hung open, showing the lacings of his shirt underneath.

    There was skin there, between the cloth, and Legundo felt the tickling sharpness of claws against him as the fingers paused their journey. It was like being brushed with the tip of an icicle— cold, pointed. Legundo shivered, and flushed in embarrassment at the chuckle it brought from Scott, who stepped closer. He could hear air move now, and for a moment he was at a loss as what Scott could be doing since vampires didn’t need to breathe—

    Until he realized Scott was smelling him.

    (Or; Legundo gets bit by EVERY Vampire at some point or another, for varying reasons.)

    Summary

    Hermitcraft was supposed to be safe.

    It was whitelisted to hell and back, with firewalls so robust that people came just to tour their security. Their void was remote, and even the usual connection between End City’s was pinched with enchantments so tight, that it meant the spiderweb cracks connecting it to the greater Game were only passable if you knew where they were—

    And only Hermits knew where they were. Whoever these people were, they weren’t Hermits.

    Summary

    Owen had been drunk enough to be pleasantly swimming, eyes blinking languidly— he wasn’t going to turn down free wine, especially from the Goldsmith cellars. But at the sight of Pyro crawling into Scott’s lap with no sense of propriety, he had sat straight and cold and sober, heat rushing to his bloodless face and fingers tightening on his goblet.

    Scott had looked… smug, was the only word for it, pulling Pyro’s head down to rest against his shoulder, and indulgently bringing his hand up to run through his fledglings dark hair. Owen found his eyes drawn helplessly to the motion, fingers cold and stiff where they were clenched on the goblet and the table surface, pupils dilated in the dim candle flicker light of the formerly grand banquet hall. Scott had made eye contact with him, his smile slow and sharp. A bare flicker of pointed white teeth flashed on his bottom lip as Pyro let out a content sigh and relaxed, half on Scott’s lap, and half tucked onto the grand chair Scott had positioned at the head of the table.
