Summary
Scar creeps closer to where he can feel Cub. He doesn’t want to think the worst, he’s trying not to. But if it isn’t the worst, then Cub deserves to get a fright for scaring him like this anyway. Oh, Scar’s gonna get him but good if Cub did this for his own amusement!
So Scar is silent, he’s sneaky, he’s so close.
Close enough to hear Grian call out, bringing Cub to his side in an instant. Cub. In his full Vex aspect, wings and tail visible, skin pale, eyes glowing. Cub, floating beside Grian at attention, expression loose.
Close enough to hear Grian’s words.
“Good Vex.”
Scar’s wide, stricken eyes unable to look away from Grian petting Cub’s hair, Grian feeding purple magic sparks into Cub’s skin, into Cub’s wings, making Cub shiver into brighter glow with a satisfied lazy grin and a completely empty gaze.
Scar bolts.
or:
A desperate Grian calls on magic he shouldn't have, unwittingly entangling Cub. Scar shows up to make himself a problem about this. (An alternate remix of my other story, nothing you can say. Can be read standalone.)Series

Summary
Tanguish is Tango's hels, and they get along a lot better than most hels and their hermits should. Unfortunately, the universe wasn't made to house both of them. Helsmets were made to return to their hermits eventually, making a complete person.
Except what happens when the hels is the stronger of the two? What happens if they really don't want to be?[This fic started as a handful of one-shots on Tumblr and has slowly snowballed into something bigger. If you notice a writing/tonal shift throughout the course of the fic, especially in the earlier chapters, this is why!]

Summary
“Just remember that no matter how big or impressive you might be,” he accentuated with a firm squeeze around Grian's dick, making him cry out sharply, hips bucking into the grip, “I can always be bigger. Let me get my strap.”

Summary
After emerging victorious in Third Life, Grian wakes up at the start again. Time has been rewound, the game has been reset. But now, Grian is carrying the weight of a victory that feels like a loss, and he doesn’t intend to play to win again. This time, Scar has to survive, no matter the cost. If that means rewriting time, manipulating his enemies and friends both, and staining his hands with more blood than ever before? So be it.

Summary
In which Mumbo crosses several towns, learns some creative methods of self-defense, fights some monsters, sees things no human is meant to have seen, befriends a stranger, steals multiple cars, has inconvenient moral scruples, grows increasingly terrified of his own culpability in the apocalypse, grows a spine, blows up at least one building, accidentally prevents a murder, and attempts to find his best friend in the futile but ever-burning hope the man’s still alive.
He has to say, he’s so exhausted and terrified that he thinks he might just be mad?
(OR: the one where, after most of humanity turns into a series of terrifying monsters, Mumbo decides he’s going to risk his life on an apocalypse road trip to try to find out if Grian is alive. Things, as you might imagine, devolve from there.)

Summary
"I don't want to pry," Xisuma said when they were speaking before his official invitation to join. "And not answering won't change whether or not you get whitelisted. We admins just prefer to have a heads up if anything's likely to come trying to dig you up, so we can keep you and everyone else safe."
Grian thought back to obsidian and endstone and blood, to tattered wings and torn robes and so so many unseeable eyes, and swallowed hard.
"No," he said, his voice shaky. "No, I don't think anyone will come looking for me."
"Okay," Xisuma answered, and that was that.
Until they invited two new people to the server.
or, the Hermitcraft Backstory Rule says that you don't ask other people about their backstory, you let them tell it if they want to and leave it be if they don't.
Unfortunately for Grian, one of the newest Hermits was also a player on his old server - one he'd thought had been dead for years - and she's going to drag his backstory kicking and screaming into the light whether she means to or not.

Summary
Scar laughs, warm and genuine. “What shall I swear by?”
Grian frowns. He considers their joined hands, before smiling and letting them go. “Do not swear. Although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract tonight. It—“
Scar starts to speak, taking a step forward, but Grian takes a step back, planting his hands on Scar’s shoulders. “It is too rash!” he insists. ”Too unadvised, too sudden. Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be ere one can say, ‘it lightens’.”
Scar says nothing — he has no written line here. But he takes Grian’s hand in his. He holds it, gently, as if it’s something fragile. Grian’s completely blindsided as he feels a pang in his chest. Oh, Scar.
He places his other hand over Scar’s, squeezing it reassuringly. His voice is soft as he finishes his line. “Sweet, good night…”
Aah. This is the part of the scene where Scar and Pearl would’ve. You know.
He sees Scar give an imperceptible nod, eyes locked with his.
Grian is cast as Juliet and Scar is cast as Romeo as they rehearse the balcony scene oh no I wonder what could possibly happen

Summary
Shapeshifters are shunned, pushed away from the light they helped to diminish. Their God retreated as they were outcast, disappearing into shadows that had only just appeared. Yet, they whisper that He is still present in the crackling of lightning and rumbling of thunder.
His luck never seemed to hold firm, he's rather certain that Luck themselves holds a grudge against him at this point. And, as Luck would have it, he's been cursed with the gift, and truly, who could have been more suited to it than the Ruler of Rivendell?
(Literally anyone else, is the answer you're looking for.)

Summary
The shimmering antlers sit delicately on the pedestal, and he’s tempted to reach out and touch them, but something keeps his hands by his sides, remaining impassive as he studies the intricate metalwork. It looks as though it’s been ripped straight from a storybook and - if the tale he just read on the lectern, and the one from his early childhood, is to be believed - it pretty much is.

Or, Alinar's antlers have more of an effect on Scott than he anticipated.

Summary
Isabeau, freshly recovered from burnout after rushing through graduate school, stumbles across an ad for a lab position at the research institute where his idol, Dr. Odile Yamamoto, conducts her work. Willing to risk another bout of burnout to potentially work with the Dr. Yamamoto, he applies for the position and gets the job. However, in the process of applying, it quickly becomes clear that something sinister is happening at this institute. He decides to go forward and accept the offer—only to find himself in way over his head in a conspiracy far bigger than himself.
(Or: Modern AU/Sci-fi. Isabeau goes back into the world of science after swearing it off only to end up in the Vaugarde equivalent of Area 51 and finds Siffrin, a shapeshifter of unknown origins, trapped deep underground in a padded cell. Unfortunately, he falls in love. Is their romance doomed? Could Siffrin ever escape? What is Siffrin, anyway? And, importantly—how does Odile factor into all of this?)

Summary
With Siffrin's timelooping journey at an end, he walks away with a LOT of new information and trauma to process. Moving forward is a difficult feat, even with his family by his side.
Mirabelle suggests that, perhaps, keeping a journal to organize these thoughts and communicate his feelings to the others may help, so he decides to give it a try.

Contains spoilers for ALL content in ISAT, including achievements and quests dialogue, and eventually the epilogue too. -

Summary
"All in all, world domination was a lot easier than people made it out to be. All you needed was some well-placed words, well-made wishes, and a whole lot of determination. Siffrin barely needed to lift their dagger—yet here they stood as the right hand at the head of the world."
Or: Siffrin met the King instead of the saviours and joined him on the side of villainy
(Whether or not he's any good at it is beside the point). -
