Summary
“I liked sleeping on my back,” Grian said in despair. “It was the comfiest position to sleep in, it let me rest my neck and now I’ve got to invest in hammocks. I can’t be a parrot hybrid!”

Summary
Grian flushes beautifully once Scar gets his shirt off. He squirms and fights, of course, panting out wonderful little phrases like “Scar,” and “Cub– Cub,” and “I’m not– hold on– ow,” but none of those are the safeword and his dark eyes are blown wide, mouth opening to let Scar deepen their first kiss. His lips taste like salt tears. His tawny hair has twigs in it from when he was still fleeing the both of them, Scar giving chase as Cub circled around to cut Grian off.

Summary
“Oh, shit, you’re a piglin,” Phil blurted, rooting around in his inventory for gold, and the piglin kid stared at him, tilted his head when Phil realized he had jack fucking shit on him because of the prisoner thing and gave up.
The kid was head-and-shoulders taller than Phil, with bright dark eyes and a little scar on his snout and clothes just like he’d been given, plain and practical, nothing like the hoglin leather that piglins liked to wear at all. He said something in Piglin that sounded surprised, maybe, and kind of annoyed, and pointed at the vent.

Summary
“Actually, I was thinking of building a permit office,” Scar said carefully, and Grian’s feathers bristled up. “Don’t freak out, though, okay? I’m not reusing ideas, never, perish the thought. We’re free thinking men, I’m taking inspiration. Opening doors to new experiences, really— digging deep.”
The basement, then. Grian skittered his gaze away from Scar’s, stared at one of their shulker boxes and envisioned the contents with gusto. He’d gotten fantastic at counting his inventory if he was having trouble thinking correctly, within the boundaries their new admins preferred. He had to keep his thoughts in order if he was going to come up with phrases like well, batter my fish sticks and fry me at the fair— the one time he’d tried that one out, Scar had laughed so hard that he’d fallen off a battlement and died, and One had punished Grian for the delay. Clearly he needed better material.
“And here I thought vex didn’t need to open doors,” he said lightly.
“Oh, we don’t, really,” Scar said, and alright, that was Cub. Cub was here. Cub was here.

Summary
Lift those hateful black eyes to a star-studded skybox, a moon glowing at its center. It’s the last time you’ll see it like this for a while. This session will be over soon, and the season with it.
or: Gem's name turns red. Pearl is dead already. Grian is in the endgame, and the endgame always goes the same way.

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

Summary
Scar stares for a minute, eyes going glassy. They are green— a nice, human color— and Grian imagines, for a moment, that they are back on Hermitcraft, and Scar’s eyes are gleaming bright blue with mischief, magic, a little bloodlust and the capacity to act on it. He imagines that he is years younger, that they both are, that Cub is here and coming around the corner of the ConCorp building any second now with his own bright blue magic dancing off of his eyes and his shoulders, and Grian is standing up and bouncing on his heels and giggling as he tells Scar about something else that Mumbo’s done, how silly Mumbo sounds pacing back and forth muttering himself as he tries to get the redstone working for Sahara— Grian misses Mumbo so much—
“Another take,” Scar echoes, sounding hollow. “Oh.” His throat bobs up and down, and after a moment he says in a very small voice, “Okay.” His gaze flicks down to where Grian lies, flat on his back and trying to breathe shallowly, shivering with leftover pain.
“I can do another take.”
***
or: post-secret life, the watchers arrange for another kind of performance. grian and scar don't exactly get a choice in the matter.

Summary
Something has been different in her, since she came home— different enough for her to be the one to bite this bullet. Time on the Hermitcraft server has been cleaved, now, in two— a before and an after, and for the players who weren't taken, a middle that stretched on and unbearably on— and in the before, Pearl and Doc never had sex.

Summary
she'd still had Roier and all the other eggs and then Roier got Cellbit, and then Foolish and then she'd gotten Bolas and... it wasn't a fix by any means but it'd definitely made everything feel more manageable.
That first night had been a breaking point in some way, smashing through some barrier in her mind as she'd stepped into the fire that night, screaming at anything and everything that could hear her and even things she knew couldn't, confessing everything she'd been keeping close to her chest.
It'd been... maybe not like, the healthiest group, but it still felt like it'd been something she'd needed then, a release and a reliance in a completely new and reckless way.
(or: five kind of bummer conversations with bolas and then one awesome conversation with my kid after everything's over)
