Summary
"In flashes of sound and colour he recalled being small, being cradled by his mother after falling into a family friend’s pool. She cooed over him in a way so very unlike her usual distance. Whispered soft words usually reserved for clients and galas. And for years to come, when Tim would catch himself wandering an empty house, letting his mind ask dangerous questions, he’d remember that light touch: the press of soft lips against his wet hairline, the unusual disregard his mother had for her soaked dress, the soft fingers running along his cheeks. He’d comfort himself with the idea that, if he were to hurt himself, if they happened to be home, if the stars were to align again in such a splendid way if if if.
Maybe she’d hold him again."
Or:
Tim resorts to increasingly dangerous strategies to get his family to hug him.

Summary
Tasked once again with saving Hyrule, Link embarks on his second journey across the kingdom, though this time things are much more difficult. With his mental health rapidly declining since losing Zelda, he can barely find the strength to keep pushing himself forward. His inner demons became more and more loud with each step he took. But he can't stop until everyone is saved.
Though he has one tall red reason to keep pushing forward.

Summary
Mumbo didn’t full and truly panic until the moment that Grian passed out.
Concerned when he arrived to see his friend so clearly in pain? Sure. Upset to find out Grian had been hiding this from him for the entire season? Yeah. Nauseated when he saw the dark bruising and blood spread across Grian’s back? Yes. Bloody terrified when he thought Grian’s previous captors may have something to do with this? Absolutely.
But panic didn’t set in until Grian was slumped unconscious in his arms.
...
or, grian’s past with the watchers comes back to bite him in the form of his wings (and his mental state), mumbo wants to be a good friend, doc is traumatized, scar needs a break, xisuma and stress are just trying to keep them all alive, and pearl is… well, is she?
...
or, alternatively, grian wing angst go brrrr...

how can i leave here, all the things that warmed me by Anonymous

Summary
It starts when Grian is afraid, even if there's no reason for him to be scared. One moment he's fine, sitting in this house he's built for himself on Hermitcraft where things were supposed to be good and supposed to be safe. Mumbo is nice, the others are nice. Hermitcraft is nice.
It doesn't stop Grian from being afraid every waking moment. His heart is exhausted from the adrenaline coursing through him. He's tired of running away from his past, and he's been running for a long, long time.
Watching doesn't hurt. When he Watches, he forgets about all the things that make Players hurt. And Grian is sick of hurting.
--
aka s7 hermitcraft fic where author uses made up watcher lore as a metaphor for dissociation.

Summary
"Grian, what are these?"
Weakness, he tries to rasp; it comes out garbled, so he sucks in a long, slow breath and tries again, lungs trembling with the effort. "Weak– weakness."
Scar drops the bottle like it's burned him. "You took three weakness potions?" he chokes out, and that seems to break whatever trance Xisuma, Pearl, and Tango have been in this entire time. They rush forward, eating the distance between them in rapid strides, until they're all crouched around Grian.
Grian shuts his eyes again, before remembering he isn't supposed to do that. He wants to say sorry. What he says instead, is: "It was– safer. Like this. For you."
It amounts to about the same thing.
Or, I finally buckle down and post the rough draft of hunger au, where I give Grian every mental illness known to man and also a few new ones. Please heed the tags.
