    Summary

    The island is cursed, but there is one final thing he has not tried, something entirely out of his control, something more like a fleeting final hope: a plea for divine intervention.

    Though it has been years since he contacted Athena, or seen Hermes, or anyone for that matter, he knows it is this or nothing.

    He forces his mouth open and with his remaining sanity he calls out,

    “Poseidon!”

    Wait, what?
    _

    Odysseus decides to call out to Athena for help, but the name that leaves his mouth instead makes his head spin.

    Summary

    “It's my fault,” he says. Now Scar does stop, but he starts back up again a moment later with a hum that says nothing at all. “It is. I'm cursed.”

    “I would laugh but you're probably very serious about that,” Scar sighs, looking up to the stars for a moment, sort of glaring at the sky. He probably sees where Grian's going with this.

     

    Grian deals with the reality of the widow's curse. Scar helps.

    I wrote this fic intending for it to be queerplatonic but it could also easily be interpreted romantically!

    Summary

    "Grian, what are these?"

    Weakness, he tries to rasp; it comes out garbled, so he sucks in a long, slow breath and tries again, lungs trembling with the effort. "Weak– weakness."

    Scar drops the bottle like it's burned him. "You took three weakness potions?" he chokes out, and that seems to break whatever trance Xisuma, Pearl, and Tango have been in this entire time. They rush forward, eating the distance between them in rapid strides, until they're all crouched around Grian.

    Grian shuts his eyes again, before remembering he isn't supposed to do that. He wants to say sorry. What he says instead, is: "It was– safer. Like this. For you."

    It amounts to about the same thing.

    Or, I finally buckle down and post the rough draft of hunger au, where I give Grian every mental illness known to man and also a few new ones. Please heed the tags.

    Summary

    Grian has been many things.

    A servant of a respected noble family. A survivor, with bruises on his skin and hidden wings tied down to his back. A rebel, sneaking away for a night of wonder in the heart of the kingdom - and a curiosity, gawked at by all as the King himself swept him into his arms and spent hours by his side.

    When Scar spent days tracking Grian down and helping him escape the cruel grasp of the Watchers, Grian thought his life couldn’t surprise him anymore. Pledging his life to serve Scar was all he could do to thank his King.

    Of course, being the personal servant of the King comes with its' own risks - and now Grian could add ‘hostage’ to his list of titles.

    Or; someone decides kidnapping King Scar’s beloved servant was a good idea. It really wasn’t.

    Summary

    Watchers were supposed to be worshipped. It’s their source of powers as minor deities, after all.

    Grian, who wanted nothing more than to forget his Watcher past, was quite happy not to be worshipped at all. So when the Hermits collectively started praying to Xelqua and Grian started to gain a lot of Watcher magic, it put a real damper on his mood, health, self-perception and his relationships. With Mumbo gone off-world, it was now up to Scar, Pearl and Xisuma to worry about him – if Grian would let them. But Grian was nothing if not stubborn. He’d get through this alone, right?

    ..Right?
