    Summary

    “Thinking about it,” Bdubs murmurs into his hair, voice low and relaxed, “there was sex, and there was a backrub, but I don’t know if we ever actually got into sexy backrub territory.”

    “This guy,” Etho gripes lightly. “What, you want a refund or something?”

    Etho is temporarily blinded. Bdubs offers to help out while he recovers. They've been on-again-off-again friends with benefits for over a decade, so a couple of weeks living together while Etho’s out of action isn’t going to change anything between them.

    Right?

    Summary

    "Scar?" Grian repeated, more shifting, like he was sitting up. Tired but gentle confusion in his voice. "Are you okay?"

    Scar should've hung up. It was bad enough he'd actually called. He should've lied, should've said it was a misdial and pretended to be okay. He should've done a hundred things and he did the one thing he shouldn't, because despite everything that happened between them, Scar felt safest with the one who hurt him. He said, a trembling whisper, "No."

    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.

    Summary

    They aren’t delivering anything special – five large barrels of pickles, several bolts of cloth, enough salt to season a couple thousand meals – and their ship is barely large enough to pass council regulations. It doesn’t matter. It’s hers, and she's on it. She’s on the open sea with her closest friends, and a ship, and a storage bunker full of merchandise.

    Impulse practically has to drag her below deck so Skizz can take over watch. She curls up on her bunk, lulled to sleep by the rocking of the waves, and dreams of sailing.

    ~•~

    When Gem sets out on her first voyage to the Isles - as a captain, no less! - she has full faith that with her experienced crew beside her, nothing could possibly go wrong. That is, until a sudden storm sweeps them across the sea, and they encounter something (...someone?) that they thought was confined to myth...

    Summary

    Grian knew a lot of things.

    He knew how to cook for a crew of 60 people. He knew how to clean and scrub the deck until his arms went numb. He knew how to avoid being the crew's punching bag for the night. He knew when to shut up and do what he was told.

    But most importantly — he knew not to hope.

    Because hoping hurts.

    So when a battle ends and an unfamiliar man steps into the kitchen, grinning at him like he’s not just another piece of plunder, Grian doesn’t know how to react. And when he’s led onto the deck to meet the pirate captain — the man who now holds his fate in his hands — he braces himself for another cage.

    Instead, he’s met with curiosity. Freedom. A handshake, instead of shackles.

    And, for the first time in years, a dangerous flicker of something he told himself he’d never feel again.

    Hope.

    or; A captured avian, a pirate crew, and a freedom he never dared to hope for
