Summary
There had always been a strange sense of give and take in your companionships - you gave them hope. You gave them purpose. They too, give you something back.
A sharpened blade, ready for you to plunge it into the nearest body you can find.
(OR: a look into what it means to release the divine.)

Summary
Jimmy’s frantic mutterings of “No no no no–” were almost immediately overtaken by Tango’s shouting the moment the culprit came into view.
"SCAR!"
Scar’s retreating form paused for only a second so he could flash a grin back over his shoulder, and it took everything Jimmy had to remind himself that Scar didn’t know, he didn’t know, he didn’t mean anything by it, it’s all a game to him, it’s all a game–He shouldn’t have left the ranch.
The thought lingered, unwilling to be let go.
He shouldn’t have left the nest. He should have stayed, and maybe he could have stopped Scar before he took up the flint and steel. Maybe he could have stopped him from even getting close. Or maybe, even if Jimmy noticed too late, he could have stopped the spread of the flames before they got out of control.
But more than that…
He should have told Grian.
There was no avoiding it now, he reasoned, as he drew his knees to his chest to try and cradle the blanket-wrapped egg a little closer, to try and keep it a little warmer. Grian had to know. After that evening’s catastrophic turn of events, it was far far too risky to go any longer without speaking up.Series

Summary
“Grian?” Scar asked, ignoring the shake in his voice.
“Yeah Scar?” Grian looked eager. Open. Gods, Scar missed that look.
“Can you cut my hair? Right now?” You could hear a pin drop in the room. Grian looked like he wanted to say something, but closed his mouth and nodded instead.
---
Scar returns to Hermitcraft as the only one to fully remember the experience of Third Life and Last Life with no magic able to sooth the rough edges of it. Even Grian, tied close to the gamemakers, remembered it like an echo of someone that wasn't him playing the game, and helped wipe most of the event from the others' mind upon request. Too bad Scar was a very special boy who's magic refused to let that settle in. He's perfectly okay though! No side effects from that whatsoever. The panic and fear were temporary, so there was no need to let anyone know about that slight issue. Now if he could only give himself a haircut so no one could have a handhold on him, that would be nice.

Summary
"Grian’s laughter had petered out, though he was still smiling. Rays of sunlight caught stray strands of his damp hair, creating a golden halo around the crown of his head. He looked so different from the creature of the depths he had been only a few moments ago, instead radiating an effortless ethereal allure.
In this moment, Scar saw him as he was - both beauty and beast."
Or,
Scar is a businessman, first and foremost. He's an expert in the games he has to play to maintain his power and wealth, and isn't afraid to use methods that most would abhor. However, things begin to change when he's approached with an unusual offer. He's gifted the skin of a selkie to study, opening an entire array of potential scientific advancements. It's the kind of opportunity any good businessman would dream of. There's just one problem - what to do with the captive selkie that comes with it?

Summary
Scar loses his first life to Grian with a kiss to the knuckles.
He gets played at his own game – he’d be the first to admit it. Grian asks for a life, to test out the transfer system he says, with a smile and a wrinkle of his nose and the edge of a flirt to his voice, and holds out a hand. And, well, Scar’s a showman at heart. Always has been. Always will be.
(aka a combination "What if lives were transferred with kisses?" fic and Scarian tenderness agenda fic.)

Summary
You fall for him despite yourself. He’s loud, and he’s a trouble-maker, and he’s quite probably the worst news you’ve ever seen with your two eyes – and he’s so attractive with it, the muscle in his thighs and the glint of mischief in his eyes and that little quirked-at-the-corner smile that shows just a hint of teeth.
(Scar has some thoughts about Grian, post-Third Life. A lot of thoughts, actually. Mostly of them are inconvenient; many are inappropriate.)

Summary
Grian kills Bdubs, and then comes after Scar with the fury of a man scorned. As he should. As is his right.
Scar does not begrudge him this. Scar kneels, waist deep in murky water, and bares his throat, and says, Kill me. And then he says, hot and desperate, We’ve won, Grian, we’ve won. Can’t we both win?
Grian, his head full of whispers, bares his teeth beneath the rising full moon, and says, No. He says, The ghosts demand a fight.
And Scar, on his knees, smiling, says, Who cares what they have to say? It’s just us here now.
And Grian – a fool, always a fool – listens to him.
(In which Scar and Grian decide to win 3rd Life together. This changes everything, and nothing at all.)

Summary
It had been many years since the most favored Caretaker of the Crimson Egg had passed on. But then he arrived, then Technoblade arrived. A son of Sir Billiam, and more interesting by the day. The Egg does not know much about this man, he's not sure how he wants him—a pet, a friend, a caretaker like his ancestor—but he knows he wants him, so he takes him away. Billiam was his best vassal, but he never got to reward the man. Perhaps this will be an appropriate repayment.
The more he sees the more The Egg wants—the 16th happens, the withers happen, and The Egg craves—This is the one. This one. He's going to have this one, and no one will tell him otherwise.

He’s clawing to hold onto consciousness — just a second more, please — to pray that everything will be alright.
