    Summary

    Hermit’s Hollow was a quiet town where you learned to ignore whisperings of nonsense and the dull, persistent feeling of being watched before you learned to ride a bike. To call it pedestrian would be a great disservice to all the terrible oddities occupying it— folks and legends alike.

    Not that Grian believed any of them, of course.

    Or; There's something wrong in Hermit's Hollow. There's something wrong with Grian. Neither of these are a surprise to him.

    Summary

    Dear G. Xelqua,
    It is our greatest honor to formally invite you to the audition to be the superhero HotGuys newest sidekick. Not only has your past action caught our eyes within the Hero Association, but HotGuy has chosen you, among others, himself.
    Please see the attached documents and follow the instructions for the final judgment. Congratulations, and remember: Eyes in the Sky Keep Everyone Safe.

    Grain feels his eyes widen as he reads the letter. He was shaking, accidentally crumbling the paper in his hands. He lifts the letter closer to his face, just to make sure that he's read it correctly. Then he read it again. Then one more time to make sure.

     

    or, HotGuy is forced to have a sidekick CuteGuy. Both don't really like each other. Good thing Grian has ulterior motives, trying to find his missing family and all that. Wait, Boatem, Scars family, is also missing? What a coincidence...

    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    Summary

    In 1988, Mumbo goes missing. In 1989, Grian becomes a fire lookout in the national forest he was last seen in. It's a desperate, last ditch attempt to save the person who means the most to him: his best friend. If nobody else can find Mumbo, then surely Grian can.

    In 1979, Scar suffers an accident that changes the course of his life. In 1981, he starts an off-beat job in the middle of nowhere to try and begin anew. He works as a fire lookout in Shoshone National Forest for 8 years before meeting Grian--and maybe, just maybe, the two of them were somehow meant to cross paths.

    This series centers around the main fic, The Incandescence of a Dying Light. There will not be a sequel to the fic, but I have a whole host of complimentary material set inside the AU. This AU will deal with strong themes of grief and mental health. It will also have a lot of science and extremely specific research!

    Serotiny is a botanical term describing the actions a plant might take--such as going to seed--after a trigger factor is met. It's most commonly used to describe pyriscent plants, whose seeds only germinate after experiencing wildfire.

    It's a period of growth after disaster.
