    Summary

    Scar is the ruler of the Sand Kingdom, one of the most powerful factions of the land. Grian is an Avian, about to embark on his annual migration through the Scarhara Desert with his flock.

    When unprecedented circumstances get Grian captured by the Sand Kingdom, he has a choice to make; conduct a daring escape, or try and fix the Kingdoms' twisted view of his kind?

    And, of course, navigate the difficult, confusing feelings that arise regarding a certain desert royal.

     

     

    Adenium obesum, more commonly known as a desert rose, is a poisonous species of flowering plant. The flowers tend to be red and pink, often with a whitish blush outward of the throat. They are known to be a metaphor for something beautiful emerging in harsh conditions.

    Summary

    It feels like pain and it burns his throat the whole way through. He could, technically, make it not happen - the liquid touches the wet pink of his oesophagus and he could make it disappear, unwind from existence, impure and foul with a taste to match. He could, but Scar was trying to say something, and sometimes... sometimes Grian unfortunately listened.

    He has to swallow a couple more times before he can speak. "It tastes bad." Is what he ends up saying, tongue still tingling from the perceived heat. It is the truth, because Grian does not brave the rust-iron of lies often, even for Scar.

    "I could have mixed it with some juice." Scar provides, like he really would have done that with a little bit more time. He would not have, unless Grian had asked for it, and Scar knew very well that he didn't know any better. It was a classic Scar move to make everything worse, and Grian glared at him.

    Scar spreads his arms in a 'what can you do' gesture. "They say the second glass is better." Laugh curls around his grin.

    Or: How do you keep something as intangible as an angel down on Earth with you? You manipulate it into becoming real, of course.

    Summary

    Grian’s just another hybrid scraping by in a city that wants him gone. Work is dangerous, trust is worse, and magic? That always comes with a price. When a routine gig goes violently wrong, Grian ends up magically bonded to a powerful, unhinged vex hybrid named Scar - against Scar’s will.

    Now tethered to each other by fae magic and mutual dislike, they’ll have to cooperate if they want to get what they both want. But in a city built on secrets, monsters, and power plays, the line between survival and cruelty gets thinner every day.

    Summary

    "Something sharp tickled his stomach and throat when he thought of Spore. They didn't kill him -Scar knew that, but the husk of a person, statue-like and empty-eyed, stuck in this room, made his stomach churn uncomfortably
    -The only thing keeping it at bay was the fact that Spore clearly wasn't much of a human anymore anyway.

    He thinks now, if he could do it all again, he'd have actually made himself involved in the process.

    He'd have told Doc to find another solution - one that wasn't so person-shaped.

    But Scar hadn't wanted to be involved; he'd wanted solutions, not equations - so he hadn't asked, hadn't checked on the operation, hadn't done his job, and this is the direct result of that."

    --

    or

    Mayor Goodtimes' shortsightedness leads to an environmental crisis that plagues the entirety of the town of Hermitcraft. As the crops die and tensions rise, he sets out to find an easy solution to this problem; however, he finds he's opened a door he can no longer close.

    This entanglement may swallow him whole, yet he can't bring himself to mind.
