    Summary

    “Why don’t you tell me things?” Scar whispers. He leans forward and presses a kiss to the bridge of his nose, below-between his eyebrows, gentle.

    “We’re - Scar, we’re in public.”
    “Everyone is in class.”
    “We’re not,”

    “Well, we’re special, aren’t we?” he murmurs, corners of his mouth quirking upwards. “Romeo and Juliet.”

    “We’re not them,” Grian mutters, and it comes out bitter. Scar hums. He kisses his jaw. “And what happens if someone sees us?”

    “We tell them it’s just method,” Scar says. His eyes are piercing. “Isn’t it?”

    Grian thinks there might be something seriously wrong with this college play - Romeo and Juliet - and that it might even be connected to those strange visions that keep getting worse. And really, he needs to stop sneaking around with his Juliet, Scar Goodtimes, because people are going to find out about their… situation, if he isn’t more careful. And he really, really doesn’t want that. Especially not when Taurtis is in the play as well.

    Summary

    "Deryn?" A voice came from behind the door.

    No, it wasn't just any voice. It was a voice he could've recognized anywhere. A voice burned so deep in his brain, hearing it again felt like a joke. A dream. A nightmare.

    Or an unexpected visit appears in Deryn's front door in the middle of the night and puts his world upside down.

    Summary

    There was a trail of sweat going down Gamemaster's forehead. Seeing that, Scar took the liberty to grab the small towel from his shoulder and wiped the sweat away from the man’s scrunched face.

     

    “Just one more minute buddy, you can do it!”

     

    Gamemaster lets out a choked grunt, his face becoming a vibrant shade of red.

     

    Must be from all the pressure put into pulling all those weights!

     

    OR

     

    The swap au of Midnight Strangers. Grian is the supervillain, Scar is a gym trainer (don't ask me calamistious was the one who decided on this). Grian is a loser (he plays League), Scar is a QT (as always) and also they're gym bros.
    (spoilers: it's homoerotic)

    Summary

    The day after Scar breaks up with Grian, the dead come back to life. Knowing that venturing out alone is a death sentence, the sudden onset of the apocalypse forces them to stick together despite the tensions between them. In the wreckage of the world, they're forced to survive side-by-side, coming to terms with the fact that—try as they might—there's no one they trust more than each other.

    Go!” Grian shouts as the monster charges, putting his whole force into the blow.

    Scar watches, frozen stiff as Grian fights until blood and gore and viscera mark the creature up like a Pollock painting.

    “What are you waiting for?!” Grian snaps when he finally notices that Scar is still standing there. He grips his weapon tight and attacks a final time, slamming the zombie down—good and dead—and standing panting over top of it, strained but victorious. He starts rushing from the scene, calling back for Scar over his shoulder. “Run!”

    And in a way that’s as familiar to him as breathing, Scar chases after him.

    The radio in the car hissed as it turned on.
    “Today’s highlights! Reports of missing people in Hermitia are continuing to rise despite the attempts of police forces in protecting the townspeople. Investigations continue with only a limited amount of evidence being found.” The news reporter's voice muffled through the speakers. Scar could only sigh at the news, knowing his attempts at solving this horrible mystery wasn’t helping at all. He recalled how he began working on this case.

    -OR-

    Scar, a private detective at Convex Detective Agency, is tasked with solving the recurrence of a former serial killer after a number of people were reported missing in his childhood town.
