    Summary

    Cleo reappears in the mirror, this time holding a small golden crown. It’s circular, elegant, streamlined. Less of a focus on jewels and more about the curve of the metal. When she places it on his head and starts pinning it into place, it nestles into the strands of his hair like it’s coming home. “The damn treaty, where we send someone off to enemy territory–”

    Cub coughs, unseen. “Not enemies anymore.”

    “–to get married to a man he’s never met!”

    Scar’s stomach twists.

    (or, the scarian arranged marriage fic that blossomed from a "quick one shot guys this is fine" to a 16k monster. You're welcome.)

    Summary

    Grian kills Bdubs, and then comes after Scar with the fury of a man scorned. As he should. As is his right.

    Scar does not begrudge him this. Scar kneels, waist deep in murky water, and bares his throat, and says, Kill me. And then he says, hot and desperate, We’ve won, Grian, we’ve won. Can’t we both win?

    Grian, his head full of whispers, bares his teeth beneath the rising full moon, and says, No. He says, The ghosts demand a fight.

    And Scar, on his knees, smiling, says, Who cares what they have to say? It’s just us here now.

    And Grian – a fool, always a fool – listens to him.

    (In which Scar and Grian decide to win 3rd Life together. This changes everything, and nothing at all.)

    Summary

    CuteGuy looked around Scar's apartment, smiling affectionately.
    He caught himself, realizing that his heart was in his eyes. It was a little embarrassing to be so unabashedly fond in front of HotGuy.
    Speaking of whom… the hero seemed to be breathing heavily. Maybe he’d pushed himself too hard to get here quickly.
    “Here, sit down for a minute. You look winded,” CuteGuy said, pointing him to the couch. “Let me get you something to drink.” He went straight for the cupboard to the right of the stove, where Scar kept the glasses.
    HotGuy sat down heavily, making a rasping noise in the back of his throat.
    Better hurry with that water, Grian thought.

    Or: Mumbo is out of town, Grian's apartment is being remodeled, and CuteGuy needs a safe place to preen his wings. Suddenly, HotGuy finds himself somewhere much too familiar.

    Summary

    Grian has a maddening long term crush on his co-worker and friend Scar. Scar is developing a budding crush on the city's new hero, Cuteguy, after he saved him, or rather his alter ego, Hotguy. Grian has no idea why everyone seems to fawn over Hotguy, and frankly its quite annoying at this point and so is the hero himself, especially now that he finds himself working alongside the boastful and flirtatious hero after accidentally taking up the mantle of Cuteguy after a good deed and a misunderstanding.
