    Summary

    The depths were always the loudest places.
    To Etho, with his fox ears, it was always the hiss and grind of machinery, the buzz of electric lights, and the hum of redstone circuitry. This was the place he'd found his strengths, though, connections that now spanned all the under-city. He's walking back from checking in on one of his depots when he notices a chip in the wall. And isn't it strange?
    How so much has changed, and so many years have gone by...and yet when he peers down the narrow alleyway, it looks exactly the same as it did that day. Like a snapshot frozen in time. From twenty years ago, when he'd seen colorful feathers and faces hardened to the hurt of a world he was far too familiar with...to the point where perhaps they were already broken.

    But if he left them there, then he'd be admitting he'd shattered as well, and that was the last thing he could bear to allow as the truth. And if it wasn't true for him, then it wouldn't be for these kids, either.

    {In which Etho picks up some strays, Doc is not ready to be a father, the avian trio is weighing skepticism against pancakes, and all of them broke a long time ago...together though, maybe they can pull together something new.}

    Summary

    It had almost been a year since he last woke up from his most recent hundred-year-nap, and yet, nothing really interesting has gone on. It was nice, of course, to see the progress of the little kingdom throughout the years. Each time he woke up, it was always a pleasant surprise to find that the scenery had changed yet again. But other than that, really nothing much. 

    He supposed it was kinda his fault for not expanding his horizons, so to speak. He hadn’t left this mountain for quite a while. All he really does nowadays is sleep, wake up, stare blankly ahead, sleep again, repeat. 

    It was definitely quite the change from his earlier days, when he used to never be able to sit in one place for too long, always on his feet to see something new, do something fun. Together with his most precious person, his… 

    Grian rams his head into a particularly big tree in frustration, making the poor tree snap in half with a big thud as it crashes down the ground. 

    God, he needs to get a grip. 

    OR

    Grian finds a human child one day after being depressed for centuries wallowing over his ex. The future is bright and full of fireworks (spoilers: they WILL eventually get back together again).

    Summary

    “Scar.”

    “Yes?” 

    “They're all watches.” 

    Indeed, inside The Swaggon are lines and lines of different kinds of watches. 

    There are aviators, luxury, smart, and even pocket ones. All of every color and design, from expensive to cheap, from antique to modern. 

    They're organized in a way that has no rhyme or reason, arranged like people in a crowd, with their own stories and characters that mixed beautifully in ungrouped chaos. A cheap children's watch with a popular cartoon character printed crudely on its plastic strap sits snugly next to a luxury one in stainless steel, both of them having the same value in the haphazard tidiness Scar has created.   

    The oddest thing, however, is the fact that none of these clocks are ticking. 

    OR

    Magical realism scarian yaoi with a sprinkle of Japanese cat lit genre. They visit happy memories and make even more happy memories along the way.
    (spoilers: not every time is a good time)

    Summary

    Grian looked over his shoulder only to realise there was nothing worth looking back at. All that existed for him was what lied at the bottom of this cliff. What lied at the end of Grian’s life.

    He closed his eyes, took one deep breath and jumped. Funnily, falling felt a lot like flying. It felt freeing. He was finally free. Free from the watcher’s grasp, free from himself, free from everything that bound him to this world.

    Agonising pain flooded his senses but none of it was strong enough to be proclaimed as death.

    “Oh my god! Is he alive?”

    “Just barely. He needs immediate medical attention.”

    “Someone get Xisuma.”

    And for some reason, Grian recognised the last voice but before he could pinpoint the person behind the voice, everything faded to black.

    Grian jumps off the desert cliff, having lost Scar and the will to live but doesn’t really end up dying. He wakes up in a weird town surrounded by weird people and… Scar. None of them remember him. Scar does not remember him yet Grian remembers him. It hurts to not be remembered by your loved one but it hurts even more when you realise you can’t let yourselves fall in love again.

    Summary

    It’s just Scar’s luck, really, that on the day the world decides to lock him into a time loop, he wakes with a hangover.

    -or-

    Scar keeps repeating the same day. He wakes in his roommate, Grian's, bed after high tensions at a party had them both drinking a bit too much the night before. Every day, he drives, waiting for the loop to break. He doesn't want to make any risky moves, but it's getting unbearable. And the heat's getting worse.
