Summary
Grian stands at the prow of the ship, motionless. If Pearl doesn’t think too hard, in the darkness he’s almost the same as he was five years ago, standing alone against the world as was his pastime. Jimmy used to say that the two of them couldn’t be separated; like a boxed set, sun and moon. Pearl would lure the ghosts out with darkness, and Grian would snuff them out with his sunlight.
But she can’t lie to herself forever. The silhouette of the Watcher’s wings is blocking out the stars, and Pearl is so, so small.
~
Pearl spends her life destroying ghost ships with her crew of pirates and running from her past. When a friend presumed dead makes an unexpected reappearance in her life, she'll have to fight all of her demons, past and present: and as it turns out, they're unfortunately the same thing.

Summary
“So,” says Philza in an alarmingly conversational tone. The side of the speeder bangs into a fruit stand - Techno hears the angry cries of the merchant behind them as they’re swallowed into the wind. “Is it true you’ve turned light?”
“Sounds about right. Well, I’ve actually reevaluated my stance on the current governmental -”
“Good,” says Philza, like the excellent conversationalist he isn’t. “It’d explain why you’re absolute crap with the Force.”
“How do you know what the F-”
/
Technoblade is a Sith warrior recently turned towards the light. Philza is a cryptic legend bullets just can't seem to hit. When the Angel of Death finds him cornered in a dingy cantina, Techno needs to rediscover his connection to the Force if they're going to make it out alive.

Summary
“No one cared about him!” exclaims Dream, laughing, always laughing. “You don’t care about a tank, Techno. You don’t evaluate the emotions of something built to destroy. Liabilities; what are you? A chant in the dark, a cold sword; a favor owed. You’re no more man to them than the swords they wield. The only difference is they have to reason with you to turn the tides.”
“Phil cares.”
“You’re smarter than that,” Dream snorts. “Voices come to watch a show. What show are you giving them?”
____
Or - stuck in prison with Dream, Techno thinks twice about loyalty, favors, and what it really means to be a hero.

Summary
But that was third - last - that was last time. This world wants death. It screams in green fire and drowns and burns with ferocious tension. It buries its assets in the earth with bodies and fills the blank space with bloodlust. Everything is muted here. Everything is humid, wet, muffled by sheets of snow and stone, wilting, dead. If he’s careful he can smell the moss underneath that layer of ash. Nothing feels real anymore and everything smells like rain. Everything is a grave.
The sun has lost its battle with gravity, and now they’re all in that awkward space between dusk and night. The stars are dim behind an ever shifting cloud cover. He wonders what he would have done a few months ago. Not be here, probably, though it’s not like he had much of a choice in that. Not kill the horse. Gosh, he’d killed a horse, and he doesn’t know why that feels more monstrous than punching his best friend to death but it does for some reason and he can’t shake it.
The lead swings lazily at him, taunting.
He can’t fall asleep.

Or, as night falls the day he kills Scar's - his - horse, Grian reflects on who he was and who he's become.

Summary
What if, when Thanos snapped his fingers, the other half vanished?
What if they all disintegrated, the man with a suit of armor around the world, the shielded heart of America, the assassin with a gold heart, leaving the others left to forge on?
What if instead, there were a few scared teenagers determined to do what they could, and a slumbering witch, and a recently brainwashed ex war hero turned ex nazi?
What if there was a man who knew time inside out, and a lost child seeing home again, and a group of people forced to accept a mantle they were not ready for?
What if Stephen Strange saw two winning futures?
Perhaps this is the other one.
