    Summary

    Scar let out a heavy sigh, starting to push away from his desk before pausing for a moment, shaking his head, then leaning forward again, his quill continuing to glide along the parchment. He wasn’t ready yet, surely whoever had come to collect him could wait a few minutes longer. Or a few hours. Or a few years, actually.

    It wasn’t as if he didn’t want to go on this trip. He knew just how important it was, and how privileged he was that he got to go on it, but-

    Well, it wasn’t quite what he’d been hoping for. For a powerful mage such as himself (or, well - future powerful mage, that is) this was perhaps the most important journey he’d make in his lifetime. His pilgrimage to the Crystal Fountain, the source of magic itself, the very journey he’d spent his entire life working towards. He should be excited. He was excited.

    At least, he had been, until he found out that he wasn’t to make the journey alone.

     

    Or, in which the vex prince sets out on a magical journey of a lifetime, and an unassuming avian knight is dragged along for the ride.
    (Or, in which strangers find love in the unlikeliest of places.)

    Summary

    Watchers were supposed to be worshipped. It’s their source of powers as minor deities, after all.

    Grian, who wanted nothing more than to forget his Watcher past, was quite happy not to be worshipped at all. So when the Hermits collectively started praying to Xelqua and Grian started to gain a lot of Watcher magic, it put a real damper on his mood, health, self-perception and his relationships. With Mumbo gone off-world, it was now up to Scar, Pearl and Xisuma to worry about him – if Grian would let them. But Grian was nothing if not stubborn. He’d get through this alone, right?

    ..Right?

    Summary

    Mumbo stands in the beginning of the end of his creations, and he’s not numb to it so much as he’s useless, made to stand in place as he watches what he loves become history that may never be discovered again, and-

    The fog creeps around him again.

    “Really?” he demands the sky, and something sharp is eager to fill the hurt void in his chest. “Come on mate, honestly - at least give me something interesting to dream about! This is just- just- pants! Honestly, could you at least give me a night of, oh, I dunno, something more cheerful than a bloody funeral? Quite frankly, it’s getting boring.”

    The fog closes in a little until the wisps of black tease along his arms. He faintly thinks he might wake up.

    "I’m sorry,” a voice says suddenly, and Mumbo’s heart seizes. It’s not his, nor the hermits, or any voice he recognizes. “Unfortunately, I’m afraid we’re both outta luck here, fella.”

    Mumbo blinks, dazed, glancing back and forth. The motion feels like freefall. There’s… nothing. No one, except...

    “Pardon me,” Mumbo says faintly, “are you… the fog?”

    Or: Mumbo's dreams are haunted by a mysterious shadow, and his days are haunted by a faulty jukebox.

    Summary

    The elf hummed, and Mumbo swore he could see something change in his eyes as he spoke. "Any idea why she's here?"

    "Love, I assume."

    "But- really, though?" The elf's voice dropped an octave, making his voice sound deeper instead of quieter, "Nobody's here for love, friend."

    -

    Grian and Mumbo are assigned to kill Scar, a rich and powerful figure living in isolation. It’s a lot harder than either of them expected it to be.
