✧ Cowboys Are Often (Secretly?) Fond of Each Other by @mxtheyes
“What would you say if I told you I was thinkin’ about leaving?” Samson paused, fork halfway to his mouth. “Well, I’d probably ask why. An’ how, an’ to where.” “I’unno… It’s just been an awful long time on the road.” He shoveled down a mouthful of food just to escape talking. Samson, accursedly, waited for him to finish chewing. “I can’t explain it well. But don’t you ever think about a change of pace? About goin’ somewhere we never gone before? About maybe gettin’ a house or somethin’? Settlin’ down like… like real people do?

✧ Neath the Grove is a Heart by @zodiacdragon334
"Scar lifted his head back to Camelot. The bells fell silent, their dying breaths rising as smoke. Dawn painted brilliant streaks of colours across the sky. The blood of Camelot on a canvas of twilight, mocking beauty after the bloodshed. "I need to find my family," Scar said, his voice softening. "Before Mordred's army does. You don't have to come if you don't want to." "I'll stay with you." Grian's words tumbled free without second thought. He cleared his throat. "I mean, I've got nowhere else to go anyway. And we'll have a better shot at surviving if we stay together."
✎ Desert Duo Camelot/Medieval AU. Gifted to 1nd13gh0st.
✧ Never Give a Dead Cat a Flamethrower by @twynte
"How do you know his name," Grian grounds out, each word putting more pressure on Scar's temple. Sooner rather than later his head will burst like a balloon. "He told me." "Liar." "No, no—listen." Scar keeps his voice calm and steady even as Grian's hand digs further into his skull. "Mumbo told me his name willingly. There weren't any hoodwinks, or deceptions, or even online digging. He—We went on a date a couple months ago." The author never did anything with the romantic tension. Scar might as well pick up the pen.
✎ Mumscarian superheroes AU. Gifted to ethoretical.
✧ Trouble (The Bad Place) by @etheoretical
"For the greater good." A common phrase said by those who believe they have the moral high ground simply because of their unfortunate upbringing. Etho is a human super weapon, and Gem is a scientist. Both against the roles they must play in this theatrical piece called life, and both would do anything to change that — even if it meant going against their own morals.
