    Summary

    This is a compilation of all the pieces that take place within my Over-City/Under-City AU, which is also a Hot Guy/Cute Guy Superhero AU, though that's not the only thing that'll be going on! I plan to keep this series in chronological order, so I'll put all the pieces where they'd fall along the timeline, which may sometimes not line up with the publishing date. The exception to this is 'Pretty Boy' which, IF someone does want to read the whole series in order, I'd want them to have read that one first and then all the rest, so 'Pretty Boy' will always be the first fic in the line-up, but after that you could read chronologically or just bounce around as you please! I've written all of these to mostly stand-alone, so you shouldn't be too terribly confused no matter where you decide to start up!

    Ask me about the series or just come say hi on tumblr! @amethystfairy1

    This series is also being adapted into podfics by @boo-the-AHH if you prefer the audio format!

    Summary

    Exhausted, injured, and haunted by visions of the future, Grian crashes deep in a hidden forest, only to be taken in by Scar, the leader of a secret village called the Sancturary. Hiding his true identity as a Watcher, Grian begins to heal, forging bonds with the villagers and discovering that trust, kindness, and connection can be as powerful as any magic.
    But when Grian’s powers accidentally reveal themselves, and a friend from his past arrives with urgent warnings about the Evolution, a ruthless kingdom determined to control the future, he must confront the truth of who he is and what he can do.
    As danger closes in, Grian learns to wield his powers not as a weapon, but as a bridge to protect those he loves. In a village where loyalty, courage, and love are tested in fire and blood, Grian must face the Evolution, master his visions, and discover whether trust, and perhaps even love, can survive in a world built on fear.

    Summary

    The under-city was a place constantly growing, trapped within stone...they needed to expand, yet where was there to expand to?
    It was difficult to open up new passageways; the folks working within the mining sector needed knowledge of the under-city, of its many winding tunnels, where it was strong, where the walls weakened, where the force of bedrock held, where the stone might crumble away.
    It wasn't as though TFC thought he was anything particularly special, even if the labs had insisted to the contrary when they'd approached him a few years ago. Those bright young faces trying to rebuild their world after Anarchy...and well, if a few more swings of a pickaxe from an old man like him would help the city he'd watched collapse put itself together again, then he could put off retirement for a couple years more.

    {In which TFC knows the tunnels, the labs need his help, and a redstone pallet and a steady salary certainly help, but he was convinced from the moment they said he was the only person who could do the job.}

    Summary

    Pix was getting what was good for him. He was getting paid, and the labs were a shield against anything too terrible happening to him, so long as he was careful. He turned a blind eye to the things that made his heart feel heavy....but hey, this city was broken long before he was even born. There was no reason for him to shoulder the burden of trying to fix it. Maybe if it had mattered so much, his predecessors ought not to have so irreversibly screwed it all up in the first place. Then again, it wasn’t all their fault, either. Only so much you could do, in a place like this, with bedrock and secrets, straining and lies. It was enough to give anyone pause.

    Pix tried not to do much pausing, though. That is, until he accidentally saves a little voidwalker from plunging to his death, gets his wallet stolen, buys some sandwiches, and witnesses the anarchy. As it would turn out, those were all such horrible things...but maybe...no, definitely...they were blessings in disguise.

    {In which Pix hates feelings, Sausage can't get a job, False is stronger than she looks, Fwhip does crimes, Oli wants a soda, and all it takes is a little anarchy to fit a family together}
