Day 2 Enchanting
Cub was anxious. He and Scar had escaped the confines of their home territory, but he still could feel eyes watching him. He tried not to let Scar notice, as he had searched for the origin of the feeling and found nothing. He proceeded with his plan to gear up, as their small swords were no match for a player when it was just the two of them.
“Cub?” Scar was tormenting a pig, poking it with his sword but not enough to kill it, just watching it squeal and run away.
Cub put down his scrap of leather and focused on his companion. “What is it, Scar?”
“Do you think that there's some Eldritch beast out there, waiting for us to make a mistake, so that it can pounce on us and drag us back to the mansion where we belong?”
Cub was a little lost for words. Scar had some off-the-wall ideas, but was pretty perceptive. “I don't not think that,” he hedged.
“Will you tell them to leave us alone already?” Scar sounded glum.
“If I could I would, my man. We're just going to have to wait and see for now.” Cub went back to his task, still on the lookout for any opportunity to evade the mysterious eyes on them.

It was dark out, and they were traveling through a swamp. Their natural glow kept the frogs from attempting to eat them, as they looked like the unappetizing fireflies native to the area.
Scar was speeding ahead as fast as his wings could take him when he entered a clearing.
There on a log in an unnatural purple light with fireflies surrounding it sat the Eldritch creature. It had a dark cloak, but its wings were visible stretching out behind. Many purple glowing eyes were open staring straight at him. It was fascinating, no, captivating! Scar was enchanted immediately. It was the prettiest, and scariest, thing he had seen his whole life.
“It's you.” He said, breaking the strange silence.
“What do you want from us?” Cub already had his sword drawn, ready to protect them from the danger this spellbinding creature posed to them.
Scar joined him, hoping they wouldn't have to fight the otherworldly being. He was shaking with fear.

Forever in that goddamned desert 🏜️
is anyone else still stuck in that goddamn desert or is it just me and goodtimeswithscar over there
Grian isekai au because the life series watcher lore is so isekai coded... like fym this guy turned into a player to save his friends that is literally a isekaier right there!!!!
Anyways, yeah <3 he got isekaid into his own novel full of tragedy and suffering, one like = one prayer 🙏 for Grian
Additional little facts and stuff down here 👇
- Grian, One, and Two all have some sort of head cover to allude to the Watcher's robes. Along with the evo symbol embroidered in their clothing and an eye pin.
- One and Two are actually based on Steve and Alex from the WeTheWatchers minecraft skin.
- One, Two, and Three are their pen names.
- Scar being Grian's favourite alludes to 3rd life (because im still ill abt 3rd life) where Grian says that he still sticks with Scar after he lost his 1st life because "he's the most interesting character here."
- I dont actually know how Grian got isekaid in the first place. It's either:
a. He gets hit by a truck (classic)
b. He gets so stressed about One and Two being the average ao3 writer and butchering his characters he got sick and d-worded in his sleep (he's so dramatic)
c. He just gets pulled in inside the novel Dora style middway complaining about the angst One and Two wrote.
I told you, this art is inspiring. Fic under the cut.
Hermitopia Cowboy AU
It was dusty and hot, but that didn't deter Grian as he arrived in the lawless town of Hermitopia. He grabbed his bag and got out of the train. He took in the wooden buildings, horses tied to hitching posts, and tumble weeds crossing the dirt roads.
“Great, you’ve arrived.” There was a haggard looking train attendant on the platform to greet him. “Next train is tomorrow. Here are the keys to the office, the station and your room above the station. Good luck.” The man grabbed his own luggage from the platform and got on the train Grian had just departed.
“Wait, aren't you supposed to show me the ropes.” Grian tried to grab the other man before he got on the train, but the man yanked his arm away. He wasn't expecting to get thrown to the wolves moments after arriving.
“No way, no how. I’m outta this dump.” The train door closed and cut Grian off from throttling the man.
The train whistle sounded and the engine started to chug away down the line.
“Well, that sucks.” He didn't stay to watch, but grabbed his bag again and looked at the decrepit station in a new light. He was only stationed here for a year, hopefully. He’d have to get used to this place on his own.
Climbing the stairs he pulled out the key to his room. The door opened to reveal a small bed, a 3 drawer dresser with one broken handle, and a small table with one chair.
There wasn't a huge build up of dust or dirt but he was disappointed that there wasn't a bathroom, only a chamberpot. “Yuck. Maybe my father was right, and I am a bit spoiled.” He emptied his meager belongings into the dresser and went to find himself a good meal.
“Cow-ooo, there you are, you silly thing.”
Grian spotted his first resident. A tall man, in a cowboy hat, with a green shawl wrapped over his shoulder, decorated with sunflowers.
He surmised that the man’s horse had pulled free from one of the hitching posts and wandered away.
“Hello.” Grian called out in a friendly manner.
The taller man whipped around, startled. “Ahh, you can't sneak up on a man like that.” He had the most stunning green eyes Grian had ever seen, but as distracting as they were, his own eyes were drawn to the man’s open shirt and the large scar across his chest.
“Hey, you must be our new train station man. Welcome to Hermitopia. My name's Scar.” He holds his hand out for Grian to shake. His hand is quite strong, and Grian can feel himself smiling.
Maybe this year won't be so bad.

Elves and Alchemists Part 1
Scar was amongst the long lived races of elves. Other elves called him a fool, as they stayed in their forest citadels. He preferred to live amongst the shorter lived races. He enjoyed watching their comings and goings, as he found them amusing. He treated them as a distraction from his timeless state as they made tiny ripples in the fabric of time.
That is, until a human alchemist approached him saying he had discovered a method of extending his own life. Scar was too curious to leave the human to his own devices. He fully expected that one day the human would grow old and die, leaving him bereft. But, as the years turned into decades and the alchemist did not age, Scar became attached to the human. He never wanted their fun filled days to ever end.
Grian saw an elf once when he was a child. They were so ephemeral and beautiful it caused him to change the whole trajectory of his life. He began the arduous process of becoming an alchemist so that he could create a philosopher’s stone. He just wanted to spend an eternity among the gorgeous race of elves.
He devoted himself to his studies, becoming the youngest apprentice to a brilliant professor. Some considered him a genius, but Grian never thought of himself as one. He was just driven, and focused.
Then one day, he left the university. He had achieved his goal, but didn't want to share his findings with the egotistical and foolish. He spent a couple years hiding from academics and searching for the elves.
