    Summary

    Scar can’t help his weak chuckle, eyes falling from Grian’s face. His shoulders sag, “Should’ve known I wouldn’t be able to hide it from you for long.”

    Worry grows in his chest as he watches Scar. “Hide what from me..?” Grian slowly asks, concerned. Has Scar been keeping something from him? The thought almost hurts to consider, with how close the two of them are. With how much Grian has shared with him.

    Opening his mouth to answer, Scar hesitates, unable to push the words out. He looks at Grian, nervous, “Just… promise before you kick me out or hate me, you’ll listen to my reasoning?”

    Grian makes a face at the very idea of kicking Scar out, as well as the possibility of hating him. Grian doesn’t think there’s any part of him that could ever hate Scar. But still, he looks at Scar and nods, “I promise.”

    scar is an incubus working as a lab assistant to grian, who happens to be researching the paranormal. grian, his boss, has no idea of scar's demonic origins because scar hasn't told him. oh, and scar's also in love with him.

    Summary

    The whole thing made Grian feel exposed, phantom crawling on the back of his neck. It only compounded twice over, the persistence of his mistakes, past and future. A peculiar feeling punching that ache behind his ribs.

    It was futility and fate. It was doom and distractions. It was knowing the end of story before it’s told.

    or, who fucks a guy then kills him?

    Summary

    Grian slept fitfully. His dreams were odd, starting off normal and slowly deteriorating. He found himself on a beach with a map in his hands. That much was normal, routine. What was strange was the level of alarm that filtered through him once his consciousness realized Scar was not at his side.

    And then, there was the song.

    Faintly, Grian heard someone singing. It was a haunting sound, slow and looping. There were words, but the language in which they were spoken was garbled, lost in the melody. For some reason, he felt as though it wasn’t meant for his ears. He felt like it had picked someone else.

    - or -

    Grian and Scar are sailors who delight in the adventure of exploring uncharted territory. Unbeknownst to them, they are not alone in the water.

    Summary

    Grian presumed his soul was actively leaving his body – providing him with just another last minute delusion to take him into the next life - until he heard music.

    His tired delusions were a lot of things, but they were never music.

    Grian blinked, once, twice, then a third time. Still, the shape on the horizon didn’t fade. The light didn’t fade. The music didn’t fade. This wasn’t the blurry shadow of what may or may not be a rock, or the light of the moon against a wave imitating a town. This was a genuine miracle. This was his relief.

    It was a ship!

    - or -

    After being cursed by a witch, Grian finds himself stuck in the form of a parrot with no way to change back, and only a conveniently handsome pirate captain to rely on until he reaches land.

    Summary

    The insurmountable sound of the roof caving in, the support beams failing, and the marble decorations shattering around him seemed to stop all at once. There was nothing but silence. Cold, abrupt, threatening silence.

    As quickly as it had begun, the disaster simply ceased.

    “Woah,” an unknown voice chimed, echoing through the rubble. A man smiled down at him, his expression bordering somewhere between surprised and amused. “You’ve caused quite a bit of chaos here, haven’t you?”

    - or -

    After accidentally wreaking havoc inside a temple in the woods, Grian finds himself indebted to a god he doesn't know, as well as a strange man who calls himself the temple's priest.
