    Summary

    There was a story everyone in Hermitopia knew, whispered in taverns and carved into the marble pillars of the palace: the gods had blessed their kingdom, gifting three children touched by moonlight, starlight, and sunlight. But the Watchers, bitter in their exile, stole the youngest child—Grian, the boy of the sun—and raised him as their own.

    -----

    Lanterns still rise every year for Hermitopia’s missing prince, but Grian doesn’t know that. All he’s ever known are the Watchers’ chains, their warnings, their endless shadows. When a runaway thief breaks through his walls—both stone and otherwise—Grian learns the truth was never as simple as danger or safety. Beyond the tower lies a kingdom waiting, and a life stolen that won’t stay hidden forever.

    Summary

    "Tango sounded miffed. Properly miffed. In the same way Mumbo did when Grian had said something stupid. It was painful. Grian didn’t know how to prove to Tango that he wasn’t having it today. He had been very obviously missing Mumbo last session, and now Tango was rubbing it in his face. Grian decided there was only one way to get Tango to admit he was pulling a sick prank."

    Summary

    The stranger squinted at him. “Weird. My dreams aren’t usually this odd."

    That snapped Grian out of it. His heart slowed just enough to let his mouth catch up. “Wait. Dream?"

    The man nodded, casual. “Yeah. I’m lucid dreaming. You’re a figment of my subconscious, or something like that."

    Grian raised an eyebrow.

    Yeah. Definitely his weirdest dream so far.

    ✧˖°.⟡ Or: ✧˖°.⟡

    Grian is a thief, living in a crumbling alleyway shack with his younger siblings, Pearl and Jimmy. He’s also the leader of a resistance movement, formed in retaliation to a neglectful king of a crumbling kingdom — and anything he touches becomes infected by a deadly spore.

    Each night, Grian meets a man he feels impossibly drawn to — a connection neither of them can explain. While something tender begins to grow between them, the resistance plans their attempt on the king’s life.

    Summary

    It wasn’t rare for people to ask Grian out. In fact, he was quite used to it by now.

    He normally tried his best to be polite. To let them down as softly as possible because he knows what it’s like. After his whole… thing. With Ellen, he knew what it was like to be rejected. Ellen rejected him kindly, he was thankful for that. Even if that whole mess was starting to mess with his head.

    This time he’s asked out though? It’s different.

    Summary

    He had been with the watchers for a while. He wasn't sure how long. It hadn't been what he had bargained for. Even though Grian had gone willingly, he regretted leaving behind his friends. For the longest time, he just wanted to go back.

    The greatest cruelty the watchers showed was thier love. They kept this player because they loved it too much. But the universe would have to let him be a player once more.

    Or my take on what happened to Grian after he left EVO, how he joined hermitcraft, the origins of the life series, and how they all connect.

    Summary

    Scar spotted him from the distance, his steps slowing as he approached. Grian didn’t look up, but Scar could feel the tension radiating from him like the heat of the sand.

    “Hey,” Scar called softly, stopping a few feet away. “You okay over there?”

    Grian didn’t answer right away. He kept his eyes on the horizon, watching the sun sink into streaks of orange and purple. His fingers gripped his elbows tighter, his knuckles white.

    “‘M fine,” Grian said eventually, the word clipped.

    Scar rocked back on his heels, unsure of what to say. Grian wasn’t usually like this—withdrawn, quiet, almost bristling with some invisible pressure. When he got like this, one wrong word could set him off, but leaving him alone didn’t feel right either.

    or: the desert starts taking its toll on grian. scar is there to help.

    Summary

    Grian and Scar drink together a lot. Grian has a crush on Scar that he tries to ignore. Surely, Scar doesn’t like him back.

    Right?

    Summary

    It was Christmas Eve, and Grian was going to throttle Scar. Those were two statements that logically should not have correlated with each other, but Scar—yet again—had somehow managed to find a way to defy any semblance of logic.

    Grian’s surroundings ignored his murderous feelings with a cheery disregard, more focused on portraying an air of merry festivity. Cleverly hidden ochre froglights cast the room in a warm glow and limned the edges of the mug of eggnog Grian was holding. A plush moss carpet covered the floor, and the walls were made of oak wood paneling with a sandstone trim. Big, bright red bows lined the windowsills that framed a picturesque view of the sun setting over the outside landscape of ice and snow. A jukebox was playing music that could just barely be heard over the voices of the other Hermits in the room, a song about halls being decked with boughs of holly.

    Maybe it was a bit of a stretch to pin the blame of Scar's existence onto Christmas, but—through Grian's reasoning—it was because of Christmas that Scar was wearing . . . that, and upsetting him. God, Grian needed a drink—well, another drink. He couldn't deal with all of this sober.

    Summary

    This was it. The last update. Well, it wasn’t the last update, but it was the End. Grian couldn’t wait to fight the dragon. He had been waiting impatiently for a change of pace.
    For this last update portal, he had partnered up with Pearl.
    It had been a surprise to see her fall from the sky and into this world, but a welcome one. His family was back together.
    The siblings smiled at each other before jumping in.

    Summary

    The door to the rest of the shop clicked then swung open. Grian turned to it immediately, a desperate chirp bursting from his lips without any consideration to how it might harm him. He just needed someone. Anyone. It didn't have to be flock anymore. He just needed a person, someone to hold him, someone to pet his feathers and soothe his crying instincts. Please.

    A masked figure approached the cage, one of the shopkeepers, and they scoffed at him for a moment, standing just far enough beyond the bars that Grian couldn't reach them. He strained, stretching through the iron. All he wanted was a touch. Just a brush of fingers or....or something. Anything. Anything to keep him from falling apart, anything to stop him from being so alone.

    The shopkeeper tossed a bag through the bars of the cage, then turned around and left without saying a word. Grian ignored it, pressing himself tightly up against the bars, chirping over and over and over again, begging them to come back, to stay with him. He couldn't be alone. Scared-alone-stay-stay-stay-please. But they ignored him. They always ignored him.

    Summary

    Grian has never been upfront about his little side. He learned to bottle it up inside and always take care of himself when he slipped.

    But then he joins Hermitcraft and meets Scar - only to find out later on he's a little. Not only that, but people don't make fun of him for it? In fact, they even take care of him!

    Desperate to cover up his deepest secret, he offers to take care of Scar for Cub. Only... he soon finds out: it's hard to stay little when around a little.

    OR,
    What starts as an accidental slip during a babysitting endeavor leads to a journey of learning to heal and to accept all parts of himself (little side included). Cleaning old wounds is harder than Grian would like to admit, but luckily for him, he has the entirety of Hermitcraft on his side. (If only he'd learn to accept the help)

    Summary

    The last thing Grian expected to see — nay, wanted to see when he trudged into his egg-house, while crusted in blood and about to faint, was a man sitting in the corner of his home. But of course, the Watchers loved him to bits, so when he took a few seconds to lean on his doorway and catch his breath, Grian saw him.

    Scar, curled up in a ball behind the chests.

    After a near-death experience, Grian tells Scar to leave his house, unwittingly dooming himself into having a pleasant interaction with him. The horrors.

    Summary

    Getting used to Hermitcraft had already been hard enough. Grian has only been part of the group for a couple months, but he was already infatuated with the chaos. Hell, he embraces it. It's been years (after the loss of his family, his old smp, his humanity), and he's eager to make new friends. Hermitcraft accepts him with open arms, and he fits right in - no surprise to anyone.

    But then things get harder. Not pranks weird, either. (Weird in an inability to sleep, a constant aching in his back, a longing for anyone nearby all times of the day, and seriously, why does Grian keep stealing clothes?!)

    --

    (in situations of high stress, a hybrid may not present their traits if conditions are not safe to do so. Grian, twenty-odd years old, finds home in Hermitcraft. Hell breaks loose - just a little.)
