love a story, love a show by duskfel

Summary
A story does not end when the book closes. A show continues offstage.
In order to progress, worlds need to be seen. Sheep stutter mid-step, lying in wait for a player to get close enough to see them and release them from their torpor. To change, someone must get near enough—brave enough—to reach out and touch.
Nothing can exist in solitude forever, no secrets eternal.
The first, and most important step, is seeing things in the light. Hold hope that it does not burn.
Or: Alone in the graveyard that is post-Secret Life, Scar is discovered by Watcher!Grian. Against both their better judgements, they cannot stop seeing each other. There is a reason sunflowers always face the sun.

Summary
At the end of 3rd life, Grian and Scar go home. They do not kill each other. There is no ring of cactus, no fists, no blood, no apologies.
It takes a few months of Grian slowly getting sicker, of the world cracking apart like cheap paint, for Scar to realize this was a mistake. It’s okay, because he knows how to fix it. How to save them, for good this time.

Summary
Grian knows these moments of tenderness are a sword edged just as sharp as they are soft. With absolute certainty, he knows this moment will kill him. And yet…
Grian’s never met a big red button he wouldn’t press.
Or: Grian and Scar wing preening with a side of daydreaming about being killed by the partner you’re indebted to.

Summary
Ink had a terrible memory.
It had long since become a fact of life, an easy joke to be made to get everyone laughing. It couldn’t be helped or changed, so why not get a little fun out of it where he could?
So Ink adapted himself to the klutzy silly guy persona. It wasn’t disingenuous by any means and it served him well. He was able to slide any weirdness he might have off his back because “Oh, that’s just our Ink!”
No one gave him worrying glances anymore. No one paid attention. It was best this way.
The problem with the jester persona is it didn’t account for moments like this.

It was one of those rare, sought-after, quiet days.
Dream wasn’t quite sure what to do with it.

Summary
"Did I say something wrong?" Adrian asks, stepping towards him again. "Grace?"
He sucks in a harsh breath and blinks, turning his head away and hanging it low, near his chest. "Jesus…”
"Grace?”
"Sorry," his head pops up again, and his heart seems to be fighting to calm down. "Sorry, just—woof. That's the most intense déjà vu I've had in a minute."
OR
Adrian joins Grace on a sea glass hunt. Human brains get weird and gentle feelings are shared.

Summary
"I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."
"Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"
"Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.
"Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."
"Let's not joke."

Summary
"Aw, don't give me bad news." Grace tipped his head back, smiling idly. "Isn't life in prison enough for one man? What's next, they're taking away my birthday?"
Carl waited, sitting still with his hands folded on the table, patient as Grace's wandering gaze and tapping knee stayed erratic. When their eyes met again, Grace's expression fell.
"What?" Grace said, with more dread.

Summary
"Because I bleed!" Mumbo shouted. "I bleed and I cry and I get headaches and I get sick and all these stupid things that make me human!"
He tried to rub away some tears forming in his eyes as he continued shouting. "I can't just be a machine all of the sudden! It doesn't make any sense. I can’t be!"
