Summary
Willow exhaled, resting her temple against the glass and closed her eyes. Hunter didn’t believe for a second that she would fall asleep, as her body remained coiled with tension.
“He just...” She whispered. “...wanted to see this world so much.”
Hunter could see it in that smile, in those weary eyes, hear it in her heavy voice.
Willow was absorbing Gus’s burdens to lighten his load. It was quite possible she was doing the same with everyone who surrounded her.
This left her own burdens neglected.
He understood how it felt to devote your entire self to the monsters that plagued the life of someone else. It withered away every fragment of yourself that belonged solely to you.
“Like you wanted to see the rain.” Hunter reminded her.
It must be a little bittersweet for Willow too.
(The kids' first night in Camila Noceda's home. A late night conversation between Hunter and Willow, a pair of insomniacs who aren't very good at talking about how all of this is affecting them.)

Summary
“I came to investigate,” Vax gasped out, not daring to look away from Delilah, who was looking at him with a predatory gaze. Did she just bat her eyelashes at him? “Percy told me you were dangerous.”
“Is that so?” she chuckled, leaning forward with her head resting in one hand. She looked at Vax up and down. “He’s right, you know. We are dangerous. Especially when my husband is hungry.” Vax shuddered as he felt something cool and sharp press into his neck. Were those…teeth? The incisors nipped gently into his shoulder, causing him to yelp slightly, but they retreated just as quickly, not deep enough to draw blood. He felt Sylas’s low chuckle vibrate through him.
“Lucky for you,” Sylas said in a low, husky voice into his ear. “I like to play with my food.”
If THAT scene in Episode 3 of TLOVM went a little differently.

Summary
It always snows at the edge of the world.
It snows the day the Briarwoods take Whitestone, and the day Anna Ripley’s experiment with residuum kills him, and the day they pull him back up from the dirt to turn him. And it snows again, that fateful evening Cassandra grabs his wrist and runs.
It doesn’t snow the day he meets Vox Machina.

Summary
Hunter has a lot of worries, but he also has good friends.
***
“I had a nightmare,” Hunter says at last.
Camila nods. “Those are hard.”
“And, says Hunter, drawing up his courage. “I’ve been worried. About. Some things.”
Camila takes a sip of tea, looking completely at ease, like there was nothing more she’d rather be doing at this time of night than listen to him. “Like what?”
“What if I wasn’t a witch? What if I was something else? Something worse?”

Summary
Summary: Creating a Grimwalker had always been difficult business, but Hunter had been a particularly difficult one from the start. But the truth is, a swelling part of Phillip rejoices in the way those orbs widen and hang onto his every word with fascination and yearning everytime Phillip gives the Grimwalker a word of praise, a story of old, a command of importance. And Phillip knows that Hunter rejoices in being treated as something he was never supposed to be - a person.
OR - Phillip as Hunter “grows up” (and more than half of it is "bully Hunter and convince him he's loved" hours).

Summary
She doesn’t want to leave him or Luz alone for a minute. The blank, haunted expressions they wear makes her want to wrap them up, tightly, in a blanket and make them both some hot cocoa. (And she’d make some for King, obviously, so he wouldn’t feel left out or jealous.)
If Hunter didn’t look like he was ready to climb out a window, she’d probably do just that.
Hunter runs off. Hunter is followed. Hunter is promptly adopted.

Yet despite all their skills, the connections they have made and the goodwill garnered from citizens after defeating both Belos and the Collector, the Hexsquad are about to discover that some wounds run deep and saving their friend means confronting some of the worst things he did while under the Emperor's thumb.

Summary
“I think I dropped my scroll on the field!” Skara sets her bag down on the bench, anxiety and defeat weighing on her shoulders. “My dad just bought that for me and now it’s gonna be fried in the rain. He’s gonna ki-” She pauses, glances quickly at Hunter with an apologetic grimace. “He’s gonna be so upset with me.” She amends.
“Oh, that’s fine. I’ll go get it for you.” Hunter scowls at his scroll. Really, these typos are starting to get on his nerves. He’ll demand another typing lesson when he gets back to the house.
He jabs at the power button—the only button he can really trust the consistency of—and marches toward the door.
“Wait, Hunter, what-?”
And he walks right out into the boiling rain.

Or, Hunter forgets that most witches aren't immune to boiling rain, actually.

Summary
Hexside's brand new flyer derby team are a little worried about their new friend. Okay, actually a lot worried. Between his total lack of knowledge re: normal teenager things and the worrying comments he keeps making in their group chat, it's pretty clear his life sucks big time. But what can any of them do for somebody stuck in the Emperor's Coven -- even if that person is someone they care about?
Something about the latest news from the castle doesn't track though, which means it's time to prove the Penstagram is mightier than the sword, and that even Belos himself is no match for a bunch of teens armed with timestamps.

Summary
When he wakes, he’s groggy. There’s rough cloth beneath his cheek and there’s a flare of pain in his shoulder and there’s a pounding headache as he cracks his eyes open.
Then the memories of Whitestone hit, and he bolts upright. The feast. Ripley. The slaughter. Ripley again. The cells, the torture. Cassandra, the grounds, the arrows. The ghost.
The ghost.
--
Percy's not the only member of his family to survive the Briarwoods' attack. He's just the only one to do so alive.
