    Summary

    “I think we have a neighbour,” Scar tells him, tiny hat perched on his head, and Impulse frowns.
    “You mean Cub?” he says, because Cub’s the only other person he can think of in the immediate vicinity. 
    “Oh, no, no,” Scar says. “I meant of the ghostly variety.”

     

     

     

    In which Impulse is haunted by a very sad ghost.

    Summary

    My Grian was sorry too, reads the note pinched between Grian's fingers. His skin feels cold under Grumbot's acid-green glow. What exactly does that say, he wonders, about the other timeline? What did Grumbot do?

    What did he do?

    Or: in another universe, Mumbo wins the mayoral race, Scar founds the world's least underground resistance, Grian vanishes mysteriously, and in search of her missing friend, PearlescentMoon logs into a season 7 that never ended.

    Summary

    “What’s the use of you if you’re never here? We just want what’s best for you. We love you, Scar.” They purred, a gentle hand brushing through his hair. They're going to snap your throat. They're going to slice your gills. They’re going to-

    Their grip hardened, fingernail digging into his scalp. “You’re so privileged compared to the animals. Don’t we treat you nicely?”

    No, you don’t. “You do.” He assured.

    “Now, why don’t you show us your use? We have a new fighter for you to train.” They said, the burning grip finally letting up as they pulled away.
    ~~~~~
    Scar has been here for years. The cycle repeated every time, it didn't matter that he was their favorite. ‘Train, fight, repeat. Stay polite, play along, and don't die.’ He’s tasked to train a new mer for fighting, but what happens when this mer has help…?

    Nothing. He will never trust humans again. (Right?)

    But maybe, someones destiny is more entwined with his than he thought.

    Summary

    Grian is home early. Which is fine and all, Mumbo doesn't have to know everything Grian gets up to, but he was pretty sure he was at work today, so it's just a little odd.

    Especially because Martyn walks in behind him.
    ---
    What if Grian had joined Dogwarts instead?
