    Summary

    Kaz Brekker, Wylan thought, was a very arrogant man.

     

    Laying out his secret much like a cat lays out a dead animal for its owner, entirely too proud of itself. Of course, Wylan was mortified like the owner would be, but just like the owner this horrible feeling would dissipate and he would be able to throw this secret out like it had never truly mattered. Wylan would just have to hope Kaz didn’t go bringing another dead animal to his feet and leave it for Wylan to clean up.

     

    Unfortunately, he might be killing the animal himself this time. With Inej bleeding out on the table, Nina leaning over her with roaming hands, a panicked look on her face, Wylan might have no other choice than to give Kaz something he could actually use him for rather than his Van Eck name.

    Summary

    Grian was… Odd.

    Not really odd as he was introverted with most of the other Hermits (aside of Mumbo of course). The server understood his hesitance in interacting, most of them were wary of him themselves. He was a Watcher after all, who wouldn’t be at least slightly nervous? But it had been weeks since anyone besides Mumbo had seen him and the others were a little worried. So, they decided to be a bit more welcoming…

    aka: Four times the other Hermits attempted to coax Grian into a friendly interaction longer than a moment and one time they succeeded.

    Summary

    Diana realised with a jolt that none of them had actually asked him how he knew Batman. And she was just as curious as the rest of them about the “we”. It implied Batman worked with more people. ‘How did you come to know Batman? Does he have any other friends?’

    His mouth fell open, and he snorted, which evolved into full-out laughter. ‘I’m sorry. Oh my god - friends?’

    Diana felt a little hurt on Batman’s behalf. ‘Are you not his friend?'

    He shook his head. ‘Did B really not say anything? I’m hurt. No, I’m not his friend. I’m his son.’

    Summary

    Martyn awoke with a sharp, shuddering breath, his lungs filling almost unwillingly as he shot upright. His body was on fire, the sensation flowing through his veins and culminating in his stomach like a stab wound. Which didn't seem all that far from the truth as he considered it.

    “Welcome back to the land of the living." A voice came from his side, and he whipped his head around to see Grian crouching next to him. "How are you feeling?”

    Martyn raised a shaking hand to eye level, turning it back and forth. It was covered in blood that glittered in the moonlight, nearly black. There was a violent wound torn into his stomach, barely held together by threads of golden magic.

    “Did…am I dead?” He looked up at Grian, a feeling of dread pooling in his stomach along with the blood. “Did Scar kill me?”

    “Yep.” Grian extended a hand to help him up. “And you were dead, but you’re back now. So welcome back to the land of the living.”

    -

    or, Grian has been bringing people back to life for over two years now, evading the man who killed them all. What happens when their paths finally cross?

    Summary

    Grian’s plans to escape his cage get a little bit more complicated when a strange man in a large hat and a gaudy suit buys him at the black market. He figures it’s just another roadblock between him and freedom—but the gaudy stranger is more than he seems.

    If there’s one thing better than freedom, it’s freedom and revenge.

    Summary

    Starting out on Hermitcraft only knowing Mumbo was hard enough. But then there was also Doc. Doc, who was huge and intimidating already. Whose Creeperness set off Grians avian fight or flight instincts if he even looked in his direction. And who seemed to have a personal bone to pick with him courtesy of Grian being a Watcher.

    Summary

    Grian knew a lot of things.

    He knew how to cook for a crew of 60 people. He knew how to clean and scrub the deck until his arms went numb. He knew how to avoid being the crew's punching bag for the night. He knew when to shut up and do what he was told.

    But most importantly — he knew not to hope.

    Because hoping hurts.

    So when a battle ends and an unfamiliar man steps into the kitchen, grinning at him like he’s not just another piece of plunder, Grian doesn’t know how to react. And when he’s led onto the deck to meet the pirate captain — the man who now holds his fate in his hands — he braces himself for another cage. Instead, a dangerous flicker of something he told himself he’d never feel again rears its head for the first time in years.

    Hope.

    or; I couldn't find the scarian pirate fic I wanted, so I made it myself.

    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

    The first time the kid appears, Grian is perched on top of his mansion, considering the great windows he may or may not leave open in the roof. He moves a little closer to the edges, light-footed; it’s at this moment that a blur of red and white falls out of the sky and tumbles right through the holes that are the object of Grian’s consternation.
    Huh, Grian thinks.
    If this is what he thinks it is, he is delighted. It’s been a long time since he’s come across a godling, and little gods don’t fall out of the sky near well-established gods of chaos unless they, too, have an inclination towards causing mischief and there’s some kind of godborne bond at work. So he moves a little closer to the crumpled heap of presumably-godling, crouches, and prods their shoulder with a wingtip.

    Or: Tommy becomes a trickster god. Grian is the universe's mentor for him. It goes about as well as you would expect.

    Summary

    "I … I don't get what I’m meant to do. I just throw my food into the fire and ... talk?" James, a son of Hermes asked -- Percy could recognise those blue eyes and elfish facial features anywhere.

    Percy grinned, "Yeah, that's pretty much it."

    James hesitated before looking down at his feet, "But ... Hermes has a lot of children more powerful and more popular than me. What would I even ask him for? It's not like he cares."

    Maybe it was because Percy was reminded of that promise he wrangled from the gods at age sixteen, but one moment he was looking at the younger camper, and the next he was throwing some of his food into the fire and asking Poseidon for some Disneyland tickets very, very loudly.

    But even though he wasn't quite sure how it happened, the small, shocked laugh that James let out made it worth it.

    Or

    Percy sees that some of the newer campers don't feel 100% comfortable with requesting stuff from their godly parents, so he decides to rectify that the only way he knows how -- dramatically.

    Summary

    Tim should be excited, right?

    He had asked for this, spent weeks hoping it would work out. Tim wanted this. Wanted to move in with the Waynes, wanted desperately to not be so alone anymore.

    And yet, for some reason, he didn't feel better. It was as though he'd been set adrift, none of the anchors of his old life left to cling to. No rocks, no routines. And even though everything at Wayne Manor was better, it was so very different.

    Or: When you're autistic, even the best changes can still be overwhelming. The Manor comes with more interaction, with more noise, with more life and Tim doesn't know how to handle it. Things come to a head with the first meltdown Tim's had outside of his carefully constructed hiding place.

    The biggest change of all is that now there are people to catch Tim when he's falling.

    Summary

    Dick sends him a message as his stomach violently rejects the plain toast meant to appease it.
    D: You alive?

    Tim replies with:
    T: there is no god. existence is a curse. all my insides are now on my outsides and it. won't. stop.

    He figures he's allowed to be a little dramatic about things right now.

    D: Need anything?
    T: a new spleen.
    D: ...Need anything they stock at Walmart?
    T: orange juice. ice pops. a functioning immune system.

    ***

    Ever since he lost his spleen, Tim's been more unwell than he used to. This feels like something different. And it keeps happening.

    All of the air leaves his lungs in one fell swoop. Oxygen sticks in Avid’s trachea like solid wax. “You– you— you—

    “Me, me, me,” Scott mocks. His icy blue eyes feel like they’re piercing through Avid’s chest and soul, his face twisted into the physical manifestation of rage. “Care to explain, Avid, just exactly why you’re banging on my door in the middle of the night like a filthy commoner?”

    Scott makes a deal with Avid.
