Summary
The phone rang three times before a response came, “...Gri?"
The voice was groggy, and clearly muffled with exhaustion. Grian let out a shaky exhale. “Sorry, Scar.”
He could hear shuffling on the other end of the line. “Hm? F’what?”
“Waking you up?” Grian replied, trying (and failing) to keep the quiver out of his voice. “I-I just needed a distraction, didn’t realize I called you.”
There was a beat of silence, and a scream from the kitchen.
“...That’s fine, Grian. You can always talk to me.” Scar sounded far more awake all of a sudden.
Grian swallowed the lump in his throat and whispered, “You hear them?”
{OR: Grian is having a rough night. Scar just wants him to be okay.}

Swollen Heart; Sunken Mind (Anthology of Original Poems) by millsgardensss

Summary
An anthology of poetry I have written throughout my life. Some of my biggest inspirations were poets such as Simon Armitage and Sylvia Plath, whom I have referenced multiple times throughout each work. Another poet - and friend of mine - is Lydia (defectiv3duck on Pinterest), who I think has some of the most beautiful, well written poems I've ever read, and is an absolute inspiration to me. Enjoy >>

Summary
At the end of 3rd life, Grian and Scar go home. They do not kill each other. There is no ring of cactus, no fists, no blood, no apologies.
It takes a few months of Grian slowly getting sicker, of the world cracking apart like cheap paint, for Scar to realize this was a mistake. It’s okay, because he knows how to fix it. How to save them, for good this time.

“You’re on the other side of the storm now, you should be so proud” by Amethystfairy1

Summary
Grian had never been able to place himself very well on the old continent as a whole. His journey in this sick system had bounced him around, and it wasn’t as though he was often given much chance to get his bearings. Now that he was with Scar and Mumbo, he’d had plenty of opportunities to look at the maps or listen to them plotting their routes. That didn’t instantly give him a better grip on where he’d been previously, though. That's why he didn't realize till that roofline seared into his memory was coming into view over the treeline. Tasteful pale blues and yellows reflect the house crest that was emblazoned on the bronze inset in the front walkway. Gently sloping rooflines that arched into points with perfect symmetry between the two huge wings. It was a stunning place nestled on the crest of a grassy knoll. He knew as well as the scars he could trace along his spine, as well as the cigarette stubs snuffed against his wings with wicked intention.
Lovely place for a hellhole.
{In which Grian looks over his shoulder, Mumbo puts together some context clues, Scar gets tunnel vision and painful memories are left beneath the dirt}

Summary
"You've got cobwebs everywhere," Scar pouts. “And sand, seriously, songbird, you sure you’re alright? Do you need anything else?”
It’s not like it’s illegal to ask someone to preen your wings. It's an emergency. It wouldn't actually mean anything. And Scar doesn’t even know. It’s only weird if Grian makes it weird.
"Actually," Grian says. "Um. Do you think you could help me with my wings?"
He makes it weird.
