Summary
Scar wakes in a field of sunflowers.
The sky is gold.
The sun never quite sets.
He has the strange feeling that he won something once.
He has the stranger feeling that someone important is missing.
--
Scar is the sole winner of Secret Life.
The system never built an exit for him.
Trapped inside a glitched victory-state and stripped of his memories, Scar wanders an endless, beautiful aftermath while something beyond the veil watches, remembers, and quietly breaks itself trying to reach him.

Summary
Scar Goodtimes just wants one thing: a perfectly normal, perfectly reasonable, completely safe permit to relocate two very small, very polite giraffes to his brand-new educational wildlife sanctuary.
Unfortunately, the Permit Office stands between him and his dreams.
More unfortunately, so does Grian—exhausted assistant manager, professional menace, and the single most beautiful human to ever deny Scar a form because he used the wrong pen.A story about bureaucracy, giraffes, municipal suffering, mild workplace misconduct, one very supportive security guard, and the world’s slowest descent into flirting through paperwork.

Summary
It starts with a Looking for Group post and a handful of strangers meeting around a table.
There’s coffee, chaos, bad dice rolls, and something that feels a lot like magic.--
A new campaign, a table of strangers, and the slow realization that sometimes you find more than just a game.

Summary
Alhaitham’s agency throws him into a livestream dating show. As expected, he rejects everyone. Rudely.
“Name a key scientist involved in the laws of thermodynamics.”
“Newton?”
“What is your stance on Dialectic of Enlightenment?”
“Dia-what?”
“Name a philosopher. As an advantage, a dead one.”
“...”
“Next.”It shouldn't have been as surprising when someone finally snaps.
“Do you even know the answers to these questions, or are you just waiting for someone to say Ibn al-Haytham to boost your own ego?”
Or: The internet is privy to Alhaitham falling in love on camera.

Summary
“What voices, Scar?” Martyn asks again, a bit closer now, snapping him back to attention.
“You— You know the Secret Keeper voices? When you succeed your task?” Scar asks, the words practically bursting out of him, propelled by the pressure of being kept at bay for so long.
Martyn’s eyes narrow just slightly, his gaze flickering to the Secret Keeper and then back. “Yeah, I’ve heard ‘em. We all have, far as I can tell.”
Scar nods and swallows, pasting on a shaky grin. “I hear them all the time.”
OR, The Watchers take a special interest in Scar.

Summary
It's 1988. Grian and Mumbo are roommates living in the US. Mumbo leaves on a solo camping trip at Grian's suggestion to get away from his job for a while. But when he fails to check in at the end of his trip, Grian is forced to report him as a missing person. And now the clock is ticking.
It's 1989. Grian takes a job in Shoshone National Forest as a fire lookout, prepared to spend the summer alone in the wilderness. But his primary goal isn't finding forest fires: it's finding Mumbo, who went missing in this location a year ago, alive and well. He expects to be alone. What Grian doesn't expect is having the company of the other nearby lookout, a man named Scar. Their relationship grows through their conversations held via two-way radio, as Grian begins to let Scar into the truth about why he's really here and mystery he's unraveling.
A Hermitcraft Firewatch AU.

Summary
The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.
“I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”
With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.
This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.
“Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”
- or -
Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.
