Summary
Joel spent most of his life alone. Hybrids were hunted, seen as inhuman. Trusting others was a risk, and he had seen enough to know better. So he spent his time scavenging and “borrowing” from hunters as he traveled from place to place, never truly finding a safe place to settle.
That was until he was caught. Being taken by hunters changed everything. He comes back to a life full of pain, cages, and cruelty. That was until he met Etho.
Etho wasn’t scared when he was captured again. He had grown up in the system, he knew what he was getting into when the hunters pinned him down and took him to a cage. He knew his friends, who referred to themselves as the Hermits, a group of hybrids hiding safely away from hunters, would come save him.
So when he meets Joel, he promises him that he’d get him out. Joel struggles to trust him, but as the two survive captivity together, Joel realizes that maybe he could learn to trust again. Maybe a friend was something he actually did need in life.

Summary
The world adored symmetry.
It loved the soft glow of wrists bound by fate, the satisfying click of puzzle piece souls slotting into each other, and the smug satisfaction of predestined love.
Soulmates. Forever meant to be. Prepackaged, shrink-wrapped affection with a glittering bow on top.
Joel Beans had never liked symmetry.
Not in the way the world did, anyway. He wasn’t built for tidy stories. He liked chaos. Liked choice. So of course, Fate had to go and make a cruel joke of him, because not only had both of his exes found each other in the way people wrote poems about, they hadn’t even needed the bond to do it.
Scott and Etho, two very different people that yet fit so well together. They had basically the perfect domestic life together. They chose each other, even against the protest of Fate.
And of course to doubly screw him over, they want him back.
OR!
Etho and Scott try to seduce Joel into their cute boy polycule via inviting him to their cabin getaway.

Summary
Joel Beans is tired of life. He's been floating through mist for five years, no end in sight. So when his longtime friend Grian gets him his first real job, well, ever, Joel is out of his depth. Especially concerning the guy who's been assigned to show him around- the famous redstone prodigy, Etho Slab. Joel can't quite put his finger on it, but something about Etho feels different. From the moment they meet, Joel finds himself confused... and more than a little grudgingly hopeful to learn more about the redstoner.
Joel Beans used to be full of joy and energy. Despite his background, where he grew up, he always had that dream of becoming a famous architect. It kept him going through school bullies, broken hearts, and friends who were having just as hard a time as he was. All through this, ever since eighth grade, his girlfriend Lizzie Shadow was there with him. She climbed the ladder up and out in a way no one else could, and Joel wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
Until one day, she was gone.
--
This is a dual narrative. There are two tales being told here- Joel's past, and his present. How he fell in love, how it ended, and how he fell in love again.
Enjoy.
