Summary
“Please– please, if we explain ourselves and promise to do better, then They’ll forgive us. I can’t,” Grian begged, “I can’t watch you die.”
He would have taken any punishment, but he couldn’t watch as They killed his sister– as they strung her out like all those before them, or sliced into her back to draw out wings that were never more than a lie. Through the commotion, Grian stammered. He tried to tell her just how that would destroy him. Imagining them being caught in here, cornered without any way out– it was a fate worse than death, the cruelest torture he could imagine, and–
Staring into Pearl’s eyes – dark brown, just like his own, and watery – he tried to tell her to grovel. To obey, pretend, play along. Anything to keep them together. Anything to keep her alive.
All Grian could see in reply was a familiar, self-assured stubbornness. She would not bend, not anymore. She would not listen to Them for a single second longer, not to save her own life. Not to save his.

or; grian and pearl were raised in a cult. right before their twenty-first birthday, their ascension, they make a plan to escape. it does not go as smoothly as they hope.

The scream he let out was hysterical. If anyone else were here to hear him, they would’ve fallen over laughing. Joel himself was mortified. His feet were planted to the ground as he continued staring at the creature before him, unable to tear his eyes away.

Summary
Familiar sounds of wings flapping made him turn, Jimmy landed with a slight stumble against the Autumn air. The canary smiled at him, sitting beside Joel. He was in his full Coalmine gear, but he slid his glasses onto his head.
“How do you always know when I’m coming?” Jimmy whined, leaning back on the cold concrete roof.
“I’ve been with you long enough to have a Jimmy sense,” Joel smiled, looking at his best friend then looking back at the night sky. Pollution covered the stars and hid away the moon.

Summary
The door sealed behind him.
The room reset. Silence pressed down.
Grian’s chest ached. His fingers ached. His mind raced. The script had changed. The higher-ups were no longer satisfied with the old protocols. He pulled the purple paper from his pocket, examining the Watcher Eye. Its fractal iris shifted subtly, alive. It was guidance, a warning, a code to follow and he would have to adapt.
The next file floated to the top of the stack. Another Hermit. Another test. Another trial under the suffocating gaze. Grian pressed the paper back into his coat. For a long moment, he closed his eyes and let himself shiver. Then, shaking, he reached for the next sheet.
Next.

Summary
If only Grian hadn’t broken the rules. If only he had trusted his gut and gotten everyone off of his server. His friends, his family who were all his responsibility. Well… Maybe they would have all been alive today. If Grian hadn’t failed the most important people in his life then maybe everything would be different.
Maybe he wouldn’t be where he is now, falling through an infinite void with a broken wing and several burns and cuts all over his body. Maybe he wouldn’t be going over his life in what we’re likely going to be his last thoughts. He had been successful in escaping, but now where was he, and where was he going?

Grian escapes the watchers and learns how to use his powers for good.

Tell the Hermits. Show his inner code and story. Lay himself bare for their scrutiny. Reveal the truth about the Watcher, the pain, hiding under the surface.Series

The winners of the Life Series, also called the Celestials, are a divine pantheon. But they're looking for their missing member-- the Earth. The Celestials are in a race against the other pantheon, the Watchers, to find the Earth, a god made mortal (and with no memories) to convince him to join their side to overthrow the other.
Scar is just living his life, running his cat cafe and watering his plants. But now he's started to have dreams-- but they don't feel like dreams. Maybe flashbacks to another life? And these weird people keep coming into his cafe-- but the thing is, he feels like he maybe recognizes them? Whoever they are, they keep making the dreams worse. Why do they keep coming in, being all cryptic, and then leaving?
And what do they want with Scar?

Summary
Never before,
Had the Sun and the Moon,
Seen a Doe and Trader,
And felt a love bloom.
Never before,
Had a Doe heard the sky,
And stared at the moon with tears in her eyes.
Never before,
Had a Trader try fly,
And the Sun had to catch him,
To both their surprise. -

Where the Sky Meets the Lattice of Vines by GiggleB0x

Summary
There was a story everyone in Hermitopia knew, whispered in taverns and carved into the marble pillars of the palace: the gods had blessed their kingdom, gifting three children touched by moonlight, starlight, and sunlight. But the Watchers, bitter in their exile, stole the youngest child—Grian, the boy of the sun—and raised him as their own.
-----
Lanterns still rise every year for Hermitopia’s missing prince, but Grian doesn’t know that. All he’s ever known are the Watchers’ chains, their warnings, their endless shadows. When a runaway thief breaks through his walls—both stone and otherwise—Grian learns the truth was never as simple as danger or safety. Beyond the tower lies a kingdom waiting, and a life stolen that won’t stay hidden forever.
