    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    Grian has been having an amazing time on Hermitcraft, joking around with his friends, pranking his neighbors. It almost feels like he is finally starting to heal from all the things life threw at him, and all the damage it had caused

    That is, until he is forced to face Sam, at a funeral of all places, and it undoes all the progress he had made up until that point.

    Summary

    "Is it me? Is it really just me?
    Does everybody have it together, or are we all pretending?"

    Scar Orologio and Grian Xelqua each have something that the other wants.
    Grian offers Scar companionship. Scar offers Grian money. Grian offers Scar an ear to listen. Scar offers Grian free food and board. Grian offers Scar a shoulder to cry on. Scar offers Grian a peek into a life that was a far cry from his own. Their arrangement, while unusual, was a matter of convenience. And with the lives they both led, that's how it was supposed to stay. They didn't need anything more than the surface level companionship that the two had grown accustomed to. They were more than happy to play the parts they'd been assigned, until their time was up.
    But life always did have a way of catching them both by surprise. They'd gotten far too comfortable. And it was time they remembered the vastly different worlds they lived in.

    Summary

    The light vibration in his throat as he tried to speak was missing. Like his vocal cords had completely given up on him.

    Grian looked back at the two suspected culprits with wide eyes, trying to hide the way his right hand was trembling on his neck.

    “I had hoped it would not come to this”, the left one spoke, the voice devoid of emotion. “You have been chosen. You are to become one of Us. And Watchers do not speak.”

    Evolution was supposed to be a normal server. Grian wasn’t supposed to get trapped in the End and be changed into something beyond his comprehension. As his playerhood gets ripped away, Grian is thrusted into the cold, unfeeling world of Watchers. A world he never was meant to belong to.

    Deep down, he is still a player wanting to be whole again. A player wanting to get back his old connections and live a normal life. A player, who had lost his physical body and the ability to interact with his surroundings in the process of becoming a Watcher.

    This story is a journey of learning to live once more, finding and returning to normal when "normal" seems unattainable, and finally being able to love yourself again.

    Summary

    "What a sick joke this was...after all this time, after all this effort, after all this pain, he was to die by falling. HIM - granted wings by the Code and cursed to never be able to use what he was given properly. "

    When Hermitcraft, a hidden world supposedly closed off to outsiders, receives an unexpected new arrival in the form of an avian being hunted by powerful forces, the residents of this secluded paradise find themselves thrust into a generational conflict between the Voidwalkers, creatures from the emptiness between realms looking to rule the known realms by force, and the avians, winged defenders of light sworn to defeat this incursion.

    Grian is not a typical avian, haunted by the past and dreading the fast-approaching future and the role he is forced to play in the future of the war.

    As the sect of Voidwalkers known as the Watchers - a particularly dangerous group - loom beyond the protective barriers put in place by Hermitcraft's Admin, the point of no return rapidly approaches, and Grian and the Hermits must all make hard choices to keep those they love safe.

    Summary

    Pearl's got a brother. His name is Grian.

    Rather, she /had/ a brother. She hasn't seen him in years.
    So when a case pops up in the detective agency where she interns regarding one formerly known 'Yandere Island', the place where her father Professor Gareth Nightman and her brother had moved just a couple years before, Pearl knows she's got to solve it. Especially since the main cause of mishappenings is centered around the high school-- which is split down the middle. Half Hermit High, half Akademi High School. But more importantly, it's where Grian is two months deep into his junior year of high school.

    Pearl's girlfriend, Gem, says it's dangerous. She lives on the island, and she went to the school. But really, just how dangerous could one high school be?

    TL;DR: Pearl the detective is trying to find out what's going on in Akademi High School and save her brother before it's too late-- for all of them.

    Summary

    A collection of all the stories in Traveling Thieves, which is my Dark Fantasy, Hybrid Slavery, super angsty AU that spawned from my Whumptober 2023 prompt fills! Currently in semi-chronological order except for the first fic in the series, which will always be “I see the danger, it’s written there in your eyes” which if anyone does want to read the series in chronological order, I’d like them to start there! ^-^ I also occasionally place some stories in specific locations that I think work best for the reading order that aren't exactly where they'd be timeline-wise!

    WARNING: THIS IS A WHUMP-CENTRIC, ANGST-CENTRIC, HURT/COMFORT (SOMETIMES NO COMFORT) DARK FANTASY AU.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the tags before you dive into any stories of this one, this series is intended to be a place for me to try my hand at writing and exploring some darker themes.

    There will be plenty of happy times in this, too, though! It's not all doom and gloom, I promise! I hope you'll enjoy!

    Ask me about the series, world building, future planning, or just come say hi! @amethystfairy1

    Summary

    “They want us to take in a hybrid?”

    Scar doesn’t even try to hide the surprise and confusion in his words. Staring at Cub with both eyebrows raised to his hairline.

    “I thought hybrid zoos were deemed too dangerous for the public.” Scar waves a hand over in the vague direction of the zoo exhibits they do have. “Not to mention we were never intended to be that kind of zoo, why us?”

    Scar was just a humble zookeeper, he wasn't prepared to deal with this pesky bird that seems much more intelligent than everyone says he should be, but he isn't one to turn down an animal in need. Grian is just happy to be somewhere where he can lay on something soft, even if the humans are weird at this facility. Especially that scarred one.

    Summary

    Fridays were the worst, and Scar looked forward to them every week.

    His shifts at the zoo were often arduous, and his legs always ached violently from the constant bustle, but Quiz Night always made his day better. Especially with all the turmoils of the city making everyone so jumpy, maybe even himself, he needed this time to be with friends, away from work and the rising rates of villains. And all he needed to do to get to that serenity was to grab his bag from the bird sanctuary and return to the safety of street lamps and his friendly security guard.

    But that wasn’t what happened. Because Scar wasn’t alone that night.


    Or, Scar, a down-on-his-luck bird specialist at a local zoo, found himself absolutely infatuated with the avian vigilante Phantom, for the appeal of crime was far too alluring to be ignored.

    Summary

    Grian had been running for what felt like hours, gliding through the deep void in an attempt to escape the Watchers.
    After finally finding a server to hide in he quickly realises that it was, in fact, not abandoned as he had assumed.

    When Xisuma went to check the new Hermitcraft Server he saw an intruder hack into it - quite literally.
    Though it quickly turns out that the intruder was more a fugitive, running away from the very monsters the admin hated with his entire being.

    Walking a thin line between truth and lie Grian tries his best to cling to the new safe haven to heal up and hide from his captors, making more connections than he had preferred.
    Sadly the Watchers had their own plans with their little disobedient experiment.

    Summary

    The thing was, Grian died.

    Which meant he was back at the Watchers. Hermitcraft was merely an interlude. That was what they promised him. However, Grian couldn’t accept such an untimely end, so he pleaded for another go, no matter the consequences. Strangely, the Watchers allow it, as long as he follow one caveat.

    Or: Grian has to reveal the worst parts of himself. It doesn’t go well.
