    Summary

    “Hey there,” says Cub, and the newcomer flinches back hard, stumbling and tripping over his own two feet and slamming back against the wall so hard that Cub winces sympathetically.

    “Oh,” the newcomer squeaks, fumbling for his sewing needle and holding it up like he's going to use it as a weapon. He doesn't look like he actually knows how to do that. “Hello— er, hello. Yes. Good to— good to meet you— oh dear. Or I certainly— I certainly hope it’s good to meet you. Hello there, fellow— fellow borrower, yes. Hello.” He’s breathing hard, black eyes glittering with terror, fixated very intensely on Cub. His voice becomes still more trembly and quiet and high-pitched as he goes on, “You’re not the territorial sort, are you? Please say no.”

    ...

    or: cub meets a newcomer borrower named mumbo k jumbo. scar's not the only one between them who can pick up strays. and actually, about that...

    Summary

    They are screaming. They are screaming and Xelqua is running. His eyes dart from place to place, searching the towers and palaces for them, praying to gods that he knows do not exist that they won't find him before he has the chance to escape.

    He skids to a stop in front of a small alcove, the place where their eyes would often glance over without registering. He crawls behind the purple tapestry that conceals it, curls himself into a ball, and does his best not to hesitate as he pulls open lists and lists of code. He fails, his hands lingering over the lines, already searing hot without his fingers mixing with it.

    Another scream shakes the walls, and Xelqua no longer has the option to wait.

    Or,

    I wanted to write a feral grian one-shot, because there aren't enough of those out there

    Summary

    When Scar has not eaten (human flesh) in a while, his instincts start to control him.

    When this happens it's really hard for him to communicate because his body can only seem to make vex noises.

    Grian told him he could have a bite or two whenever he needs it. as long as he keeps it above his belt, and if Grian tells him to stop. He needs to.

    -♡-

    Grian adores his Scar snuggles.

    He’ll never admit it, but he loves curling up on top of the vex hybrid, draping his red, yellow, blue wings over the two of them, and soaking up Scar’s warmth.

    He is certainly not expecting it when Scar grabs his upper arms, flipping him over onto his back in a mess of multi courlored feathers.

    Grian looks in Scar’s eyes, and all he can see in the now gray-blue iris is hunger.

    or Scar goes from snuggle mode, to hungry Vex mode. (then he is guilty he made Grian hurt, but Grian comforts him.)

    “-car, are you even listening to me?” Grian says, snapping his fingers in front of the brown haired me, “I need you to move over, I can’t open that shulker.”

    Scar’s eyes shine a pale blue, and he jumps Grian, pinning him to the ground by his shoulders.

    Grian lets out a squawk of surprise as he lands on his wings.

    Scar stares down at him with hungry pale blue eyes, his breathing heavy.

    “Scar, what are you doing?” Grian asks, trying to push the taller man off of him.

    or, Scar is fantasizing about eating his boyfriend alive. Said boyfriend, does not know until Scar tries to eat him. an when he does, he consents.

    Summary

    “Hey Scar, you okay?” Grian asks.

    Scar wants to snap the avian’s neck in half and laugh hysterically as he drinks the blood from his body, feasting on his flesh.

    Scar takes a deep breath, “I don’t think so.” He says, “Being red is messing with my Vex side.” He says, “It’s driving me crazy.”

    “You know how as a Vex I need to eat human flesh, and I usually am fine for about a month after a proper feast?” Scar asks.

    Grian nods.

    “How much do you need to eat?” Grian asks.

     

    or, Scar is a vex hybrid, and Vex eat people. Usually Scar can ignore the need to feed during the life games, but he found out when he turns red, the need becomes to strong to ignore. (3rd Life)

    Summary

    What would one do if they're suddenly reincarnated as the prince of another world? Normally, they would celebrate and say goodbye to bills and chores, right?

    WRONG!

    One should start packing because all that's waiting for them is a sore butt from all the travelling with a coach, brutal etiquette training, politics, awkward family gatherings, and assassination attempts more times than fingers could count.

    What to do if one is inflicted with all sorts of painful sensations fourteen times every fortnight? Can this be stopped? Why is he having weird thoughts that are weirdly alien? Is he losing his mind? How can he find the person with the soulbound tattoo identical to his own? Will he have to endure everything on his own?

    Well, Grian surely would like to know how since there's one thing he's sure of: he can't access the internet anymore.

    OR a 3+1 fic where three (3) times Grian didn't know he's soulbound to Scar, and the one (1) time he did.

    Summary

    "I need to see your teeth."

    It's near silent, even for a bustling base like Mumbo's.

    "P-pardon?" The vampire's hands have stilled on Scar's shirt. Scar doesn't miss the way he wets his lips, the way his slender fingers grip a little bit too tight on his collar.

     

    or, five times Mumbo accidentally drinks Scar's blood and the one time he drinks it on purpose.

    Summary

    It’s Double life and Scar’s red along with his soulmate.

    His stomach aches with hunger.

    The vex hybrid has a habit of chewing on his fingers, tasting the blood that spills onto his tongue when his stomach feels like it’s eating itself.

    Normally, nobody would be able to tell because Scar would hide his hands.

     

    That is except if one person on the sever shears injuries with you and you also coincidentally hurting him as you hurt yourself.

     

    or, Scar is a vex hybrid, and Vex eat people. Usually Scar can ignore the need to feed during the life games, but he found out when he turns red, the need becomes to strong to ignore. (Last Life)

    Summary

    His eyes were a bright, vibrant red, gone from the natural burnt color they normally were. There was a smear of blood across his bottom lip and Mumbo’s attention shifted from Grian’s hand — now clean of any of his blood — and down to Grian’s face.

    “That’s it, see, I’m right here, just listen to me okay?” Grian cooed softly, his heart hammering against his ribs.

    Mumbo placed a tender, almost reverent kiss to the pulsepoint on Grian’s wrist, and his instincts snapped in an instant.

    Summary

    “Songbird, did someone… try to maim you?”

    And just like that the walls shattered. The barriers keeping the layers of what he’d spent years trying to forget seemed to crack, memories seeping through the broken seems.

    The hands were back on him grabbing him, forcing him to stay still–

    “–rian, breath, c’mon–"

    “Don’t– No– please–” Grian kept his eyes slammed shut. He didn’t want to watch it. He didn’t want to watch his wings–

    “You're not there, Grian. You’re in the palace gardens, with me, Scar, just us two.” The voice– Scar–

    Scar.

    ”Why have you stayed with me for so long?”

    ”…”

    ”All I ever do is hurt you.” Scar looked down at the ground, ashamed that he once again hurt someone he loved so dearly. ”I’m a monster.”

    Grian’s head twisted harshly towards the brunette, something he shouldn’t have done considering how hurt he is, blood was still pouring from the wound Scar created just minutes ago. The blood loss made him slightly light headed.

    ”You are not a monster.” The pesky birds eyes dug into Scars tillted head. ”Don’t you dare call yourself that.”

    With clenched fists and teary eyes he looked up, his and Grians eyes met for a moment but Scar couldn’t keep eye contact. Ashamed he looked at the bone deep bite marks on Grian’s leg as blood dripped down from the corner of his mouth.

    Summary

    “There we go.” Scar panted, crouching down next to Cuteguy’s crumpled form. “I’ve been chasing you for ages! To be honest, I didn’t think I’d catch you, normally you’re a lot faster than that. Are you okay?”

    Cuteguy didn’t move.

    “Uhh…Cuteguy?” Scar nudged her lightly with his fist. “Is this a trick? Because I’ll have you know I am not falling for it.”

    Cuteguy still didn’t move.

    “Hello?” Scar scooted around to the front of him, where his face was planted into the sidewalk. “It wasn’t that bad of a fall, was it?”

    Then Cuteguy…chirped. Like a bird. That was the best way to describe the sound muffled by the pavement. Scar blinked in surprise, then hesitantly reached out and lifted the vigilante’s chin so that he could see her face.

    Summary

    “Scar, I know how it looks, but I’m not trespassing,” Grian blurted. He was scraped up all over, now that Scar was really paying attention: his face and arms and legs were torn, clothes tattered like he’d dived right through a rosebush. He was trembling. “I’m– I’m resting for a brief moment, nothing else. I’ll be out of your hair in the morning, I’ll make that a promise, and the next time I come by, I’ll bring you a dead mouse to repay you, or a live mouse, or I’ll just, I’ll owe you, I don’t know–”

    “I mean, sure, if you say so,” Scar agreed, and Grian cut off, shrinking away. Scar’s heart twisted. “A dead mouse, a live mouse, an unspecified IOU to be collected at a later date, all of these currencies and more are accepted here at Trader Scar’s. We have a very strict non-discrimination policy, I’ll have you know. Very strict.”

    Grian blinked at him and unfurled the slightest bit. His bad wing– and it was a bad wing, Scar could tell, a very injured wing indeed– tucked in, wound weeping sluggishly onto the basement’s concrete windowsill. Scar had to take a second to reinforce his smile, gentling his whole demeanor so Grian would stop looking at him like that.

    “Scar’s approaching from the left, by the way,” Mumbo said, and Grian’s stomach flipped, crushed-glass nerves cutting into his insides. He’d been used to struggling to avoid Hawkeye, who popped up whenever Grian least wanted to see him and had always been stupidly hard to shake off, worse once they got to know each other’s patterns, but when it came to Scar– well, but of course Scar would be the same way–

    “You can see him under the exit sign,” Mumbo elaborated, stiffening with concern as Grian stood up, “and oh, hang on, you are not actually leaving me. I thought you said whatever it is wasn’t a big deal!”

    “It’s not,” Grian lied. He stood up and gathered his papers in their complementary folder, smooth and calm and definitely not fighting a lump in his throat.

    Summary

    Cuteguy’s arm was badly bruised and a thin line of blood was trickling down his leg. It was almost invisible if not for the keen eye of the hero. The fight went well, but a few skeleton hybrids got a lucky shot on Cuteguy. It barely nicked his leg, but it still bled nonetheless. Hotguy himself had taken quite the beating from a zombie hybrid, but he was used to the constant injuries from fighting.
