    Summary

    Sklonda was grateful she didn’t have to see the damage, but hearing her baby boy’s windpipe break, listening to the sounds of his friends screaming his name, and realizing after a few moments that he was no longer breathing - it was too much.

    It was too much, and then the monster picked him up and -

     

    The Ball, his friends called him, The Ball because he was small and easy to grab and throw and toss around and -

     

    - smashed his tiny body into the staircase.

    Summary

    It's 1988. Grian and Mumbo are roommates living in the US. Mumbo leaves on a solo camping trip at Grian's suggestion to get away from his job for a while. But when he fails to check in at the end of his trip, Grian is forced to report him as a missing person. And now the clock is ticking.

    It's 1989. Grian takes a job in Shoshone National Forest as a fire lookout, prepared to spend the summer alone in the wilderness. But his primary goal isn't finding forest fires: it's finding Mumbo, who went missing in this location a year ago, alive and well. He expects to be alone. What Grian doesn't expect is having the company of the other nearby lookout, a man named Scar. Their relationship grows through their conversations held via two-way radio, as Grian begins to let Scar into the truth about why he's really here and mystery he's unraveling.

    A Hermitcraft Firewatch AU.

    Summary

    When Fabian is ten, his Papa tells him the story of how he married his mother.

    It’s a gory tale, one that involves a cut eye and bodies hitting the deck. He tells Fabian of a love that sent him to his knees, that leads a man like him– fearsome and powerful, the greatest pirate to ever live– to start a family.

    A love that gave him Fabian.

    ---

    A study on Fabian, grief, and, ultimately— love.

    Summary

    Etho does something marginally stupid and finds himself changed.

    The universe only unravels from there. But one way or another, it will find a way to put itself back together.

    Or: Actions, reactions, and the associated consequences regarding a series of unexpected, and highly coincidental interconnect events...

    It's almost as though this wasn't pure coincidence.

    (I recommend reading this series in order, as the fics build off each other and are all interconnected)
    Also, we have a discord!

     

    Edit, November 2024:
    The early part of this series was written and posted before the evidence against Iskall came to light. I want to make it very clear that I do not support him and his actions, and send my love to the victims. Future additions to this series will not include him as a character.
