    Summary

    “Grace!”, he calls, tumbling towards me. “Grace! There is a human! Human!” His carapace is shuddering and he’s moving his weight from claw to claw.

    Okay. What?

    “What?” Not so shockingly, that’s all I can say. I’m pretty sure my jaw is making its way to the floor.

    He steps towards me once more, “There is a human, Grace! Another human!”

    Now I have questions. So so so many questions. Does he really mean that there’s another human? Did someone from Earth come to my rescue by some miracle? Would that even be possible? I feel my eyes begin to water at the sheer thought of interacting with another person again.

    “What?” Is all I say, dumbly. Nice one, Ryland.

    Or

    Grace and Simon meet by fate, and being the only two humans on the planet, they have some much needed bonding time.

    Summary

    At the crossroads, Avery turns left.

    The golden doors loom over his character, tall and identical, their surfaces catching the light in a way that feels just a little too deliberate. Even from behind the screen, a chill prickles along Avery’s arms.

    Still, he swallows it down. Keeps going. It’s fine. It’s just a game.

    He approaches the doors, takes one final breath, and then—

    “A block of gold?”

    Well, what had he expected, anyway?

    Something grander?

    Something scarier?

    Something less boring?

    “Well… that’s that, I guess.” Avery mutters, wrist twitching as he moves to turn his character around and head back, when—for better or worse—something interesting does happen.

    His head suddenly feels… heavy. Too heavy. His vision starts to blur, the screen warps.

    The room tilts—

    And the last thing he registers is the dull thud of his head hitting the keyboard.

    Summary

    “You ain’t cussin’ at me,” Mal says indignantly, and rolls up his coat to shove it between the crate and Simon’s neck. “Don’t feel right.”

    Simon actually laughs at that, a small little huff that bursts out of him, then turns into a pained gasp; he tilts until his forehead ends up pressed into Mal’s shoulder and he’s drawing shallow, shaky breaths against Mal’s shirt.

    Summary

    (it's a shot in the dark, aimed right at my throat)

    “What’s your cargo?”

    Tubbo’s breath freezes in his chest. “Uh, sentimental stuff. Just…couldn’t bear to leave it all behind. It’s nothing dangerous.” People can say what they will about him, but he hates even half-truths like this. One day, it’ll kick him in the ass.

    He silently prays that this, the most important thing he’s done in his life, will not be the time.

    or: tubbo has some very, VERY important cargo he needs to transport because who what he needs to transport is in a lot of danger. he just needs to get through this ride on a ship with a motley crew of some of the weirdest people he's ever met to do it. he doesn't know what dangers lie ahead, but it'll be worth it.
    it has to be.
