    Summary

    For a moment Xisuma feels as though the world has dropped out from under him— as though he has been sundered from it, and there is nothing below or around him as far as the eye can see— as though there is no anchor and nothing to grab hold of, only himself and a vastness on all sides. This world that he has built, the world his players have built— negligible, at best, hardly realer than a flicker on a silver screen. It would crumple like wet paper, if he told it to.

    He is the universe cradling his players, holding them in his palm above a silence that’d claim them if he let it claim them. It would have had Scar. It would have had Cleo. It would have Joe, now, if he allowed it. They are so terribly fragile.

    -

    aka 4 times xisuma gets propositioned by his players who are expecting him to make use of certain admin privileges, and he is really not whatsoever interested in hurting them even though he theoretically should be according to some people. and 1 time that is, uh, NOT what happens.

    Summary

    "Why are you limping?"
    "Bad knees."
    "What are you, eighty?"
    "Sometimes, it sure feels that way."
    The boy scoffs and goes back to his phone. "Okay, grandpa."

    When they first meet, Grian is simply the grumpy, troublesome little brother of Scar's flatmate. Five years later, it's a different story.

    Summary

    “The creakies?” Grian asks, folding his arms.
    “Doc put them there.” Scar raises his head and pouts miserably. He really does look tired, thinks Grian with a softening heart. Dark circles, streaks of dirt, scratches on his cheek. “They’re all over my base and I can’t get rid of them.”
    Exhaustion is evident in his voice, and Grian takes pity on him. “Alright,” he sighs. “Just rest here. I’ll help you get rid of them later. And – why? Why would Doc do that?”
    “Apparently I pranked him on the last server,” Scar pouts. “I can't even remember it! I would never, Grian, would I?” He blinks a few times, aiming for innocent but landing more on scheming.
    “Yes, you would,” Grian smiles. When he turns away from Scar, his smile drops like a brick. He only barely keeps the accusation from his voice. “Do you think he remembers something?”
    “He’s an odd one,” Scar says evasively. He might as well have said yes outright.
    That settles it: Grian needs to pay the old goat a visit.

    ~~~~~~

    Grian struggles with his memories from previous servers - memories he's not supposed to have. And as Doc feuds with Scar, and no-one explains anything, Grian starts to get sicker and sicker.

    Summary

    If Jimmy couldn’t say why he didn’t leave the second he saw Joel and Grian, an even bigger mystery was why on earth he did what he did next. Maybe it was that he knew they’d stop yelling if he fixed the problem. Maybe it was the general fear of having their anger turned onto him eventually. Maybe Jimmy really was just too nice for his own good.

    Maybe it was the fact that, deep down, Jimmy thought they were cool.

    Maybe he wanted an in.

    Or

    Jimmy befriends bad boys Joel and Grian and slowly finds himself over the course of knowing them (if he ever really knew them at all).
