Summary
"That has to hurt." Cub says distantly, already recovering from his daze at the sheer force of Scar’s magic. That much power, and absolutely none of it leaking into Scar’s voice? He knows that's painful for Scar.
"It's okay, it's okay, I don't want to spook you, it's fine, I'm fine, see, I'm fine and I'm here." Scar babbles reassuring circuitous and repetitive nonsense, smooth and over-eager and so painfully devoid of even the slightest charm. Cub has heard this before. He knows what this is.
"You're bound." Cub realizes, the words flat on his lips. Frigid chill tightens around his ribcage.
or:
Scar and Grian return home changed by their summoning bond and soul bond, and Cub has some pretty strong opinions about this.Series

“You could at least act like you don’t wanna do this,” Ben mutters, hands fumbling over his dumb tie. His face must be as red as the Chiefs jersey he chucked in the trash after Mahomes cost him the season.
Tristan grins. “Nah. I’m gonna enjoy every second.”

Summary
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! We can’t wait until we can say Happy Hunger Games in earnest (only another month!), but in the meantime, we are celebrating the best moment of Games from years past. Make sure you also check out our list of the most iconic final showdowns and our favorite post-victory moments.
What’s on the plate for today? Glad you asked! The Games are all about triumph, but they’re also all about tragedy (which makes those victories even sweeter). Today, we’re looking at 17 final moments from Tributes that we are still thinking about. To make it harder for ourselves, we could only pick one from each Games (so if your favorite didn’t make the cut, that could be why!). Some made us scream, some made us cry, and a few even made us laugh (you’ll see!). Read on!

a child in pain by beeclaws

Summary
Izuku sees children in pain all the time now. Sometimes they try to make themselves bigger, shout their voices out loud from their tiny lungs, the way Kacchan used to. Sometimes they lash out before anyone else can lash out first, like Hitoshi, or try to hold themselves still and solid and apart from it all, like Shouto. Sometimes they tuck their shaking hands into their pockets, wave away hands offered in help, and say they’re fine.
Izuku smiles at them and sometimes they smile back.

Summary
Grian got the call that they’d found Scar at 3am.
He hadn’t been sleeping, of course - he hadn’t really slept in weeks at that point, not since Scar had been taken. How was he supposed to, when his husband, the love of his life wasn’t in his rightful place beside him in bed? How was he supposed to rest when his dreams were full of the terrified expression on his lover’s face as he’d sat, bound, in that horrible, rickety chair in some dim basement? How was he supposed to live with himself knowing that Scar was out there, being tortured and held against his will because of Grian, and he was doing nothing to find him?

“So swords and maces should be alright?” said Gem, glancing at the heavy hammer strapped to Moon’s back, and her own sword sheathed on her belt. It was getting harder to ignore the mechanical, piston-like sounds of the approaching wither, but they were so close to landing on a concrete plan! Just a few more seconds…

Summary
It took so painstakingly long to build this place up. And it burns so easily.
Scar gulps down the air, but it turns to smoke and ashes in his lungs as he watches his whole life go down so fast. He made this—every tiny piece and detail of it—he made it to be a sanctuary. A place for healing. A place for new chances. He needed it, just the same as everyone else who ended up here afterwards.
He still needs it.
They still need it.

Summary
Grian stepped closer, frowning. The painting showed a man so steeped in some private horror that it billowed off the coarse linen canvas. It showed a figure that’d had a hand completely covering its face, Grian had thought, except now he could see an eye through those opened fingers, bright as an emerald and startled into wonderment, which was strange because verdigris should’ve darkened to brown too –
The eye was staring at him. Two eyes were staring at him, wide and shocked and delighted, and Grian had clearly hit his head on his way out of the vent, because the painting had changed. The figure hadn’t moved, exactly, but its position had shifted like a cel in an animated sequence. The man was standing, smiling, his teeth a white smear against the dark canvas.
“Oh, no, I’m hallucinating,” Grian groaned.

“My mum couldn’t take care of me, so she gave me to Canada.” Gem announced cheerily, swapping her red pencil for a yellow one, drawing what could only be a sun in the top corner of her page. “Then Canada found me a new mum.”
Etho clicked his tongue. “Right.”
“What about your mum?”
“She uh, Couldn’t take care of me either. So I go to other people’s houses and they take care of me for her.”
;The story of siblings, who after all this time, are still chasing after each other.

Summary
Terrified, blood-curdling screams are all that Mumbo can hear.
They began not too long ago, rattling the walls and shivering through the floors, pulling Mumbo from his slumber. He almost startled out of bed when they began, the suddenness of the noise jerking him into wakefulness in an instant.
The screams are long, they are wailing and breathless and they pervade the air of the entire house. They echo down the corridors and reverberate off the walls until the redstoner finds himself convinced that surely, surely, the entire server can hear them.
The most notable thing about the screams, however, is that they are not his own.

Summary
Scar was busy trying not to cry when Grian asked him what he was doing there and what on earth he was wearing, so his mind went blank at the question. The concept of clothing abandoned him. The idea that people might decide on outfits and have those outfits judged by others simply dropped from his perception, like an ender pearl thrown from the build limit, arcing into an infinitely small dot and landing who knew where.
“It’s couture?” he attempted. It was actually his red suit and reflective vest, except the trip back had scrambled them, something in his outer code glitching out: parts of the suit were eye-searingly yellow now, the tie sliced off at the halfway point and the red bleeding onto his white undershirt. The vest had melded with the suit jacket completely.
He’d made it to Season 7 with the required memories mostly intact. That was what mattered. Little details like not having an inventory or a sense of smell were unimportant.

Summary
The Higher-Ups wanted Xisuma to hurt Mumbo for this. He had no good reason not to hurt Mumbo Jumbo, a redstone genius he’d hosted for years– no good reason not to flaunt his authority and take him apart at the base level, and it would feel good, wouldn’t it, wouldn’t it feel so great and entertaining–
“Several Hermits lost their whole inventories in the explosion,” Xisuma pointed out, thinking very loudly about those inventories and nothing else. “Let’s see, there’s Stress, Iskall, Grian, Scar, False…”
“Yes, and– and Etho. That’s put him behind on the blaze farm, but I could help with that, also, and provide– I could make it up to people,” Mumbo said, voice breaking. “It is a lot of damage. I know.”
Unruly and irresponsible, the observers echoed, a rasp at the base of Xisuma’s brain. Watching. Not even that interesting. There are standards to uphold, Admin Xisumavoid. We would hate to replace you.
“There are standards to uphold,” Xisuma echoed miserably.
