    Summary

    Xelqua had been born an avian, bearing six wings instead of the common two or four. The extra appendages corresponded to his heightened magic affinity, he'd come to theorize.

    The two new pairs of wings certainly did.

    He was able to do things now, things not any Avian should have been able to do. He could corrupt electrical systems with a thought, could phase through objects like a Vex. His wounds seemed to heal over in a matter of hours. It made escaping police custody a rather simple task.

    Once at a safe distance, Xelqua tucked his wings away with his regular magic. The four extras went away with them; as did his peculiar new powers.

    He staggered the streets until he found where the earth tipped downwards, falling to the musky streets of the Perimeter. Dazed, alone, free.

    The only evidence now left of the ceremony were his missing eyes.

    Summary

    “You’re safe,” he says. “I’ll even tell you a secret.”

    Grian makes what he thinks is an irritated sound as he falls further, more firmly into Vex’s arms. He earns another one of those soft laughs and that voice in his ear.

    “My name is Scar,” the man murmurs. “And we’re going to make them pay.”


    or: the last thing grian expected when he escaped from the watchers four months ago was to end up hiding out with the most infamous supervillain in modern history, but here he is. and no, he does not agree with this guy's moral wrongdoings, stop looking at him like that.

    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

    Summary

    “Look, Tango, I need you keep an open mind,” Impulse said, hurriedly placing the bundle delicately in Tango’s arms, “and especially an open heart.”

    Tango cradled it like he saw Impulse had. It had a very strange weight to it. After all, it was very heavy for its size. And, if he stayed still enough, he could vaguely feel a small amount of movement.

    Almost like breathing.

    “You were the only person who could help,” Impulse whispered, his voice pathetically wet as he carefully pulled the blankets back.

    Tango tore his eyes away from Impulse, and onto the thing in the bundle.

    His heart dropped.

    ~~~~~~

    Aka- Tango has had a lot of internalized hate for his own species when a baby of the same species suddenly appears in Hermitcraft.

    Aka aka- Tango turns out to be a pretty alright dad
