    Summary

    Everything around them grinds to a halt, every gentle breeze and friendly piece of chatter falls to the wayside. Because she's here, and the Watched feeling means that they are too, but it doesn't matter because she’s so much more important. Grian can’t give anything else a second thought, not the way that Scar is holding his hand or the way that Mumbo is announcing the set-up of the season, because Pearl is right there.

    His big sister, she’s right there.

    -

    aka; the terrible series of events that have torn grian and pearl apart time and time again, recited as they reunite one final time.

    Summary

    It started with Pearl opening up about it first, “I was kidnapped.”

    The words felt so real, and they burned in Grian’s skull as he heard them.

    “I hadn’t been on a boat before now. But I wanted to get on one to leave my island,” she pushed herself closer to Grian, who wrapped his wing around her to provide comfort, “I went on this ship because it was docked nearby, and I was desperate. There was nothing for me there. I had no family. It wasn’t hybrid-friendly, either.”

    Grian listened intently, and couldn’t help but mourn the fact that Pearl was so close to never being captured at all.

    --
    Grian and Pearl are prisoners on a pirates ship. And- look! Another ship! And... is it full of hybrids? Can they get their help to escape??

    Pearl is the newly appointed handmaiden to the princess.

    Summary

    “Do everyone a favor and set the sun, would you?” A finger pokes his cheek, prodding and sinking into his skin.

    One beat passes. Two. Three. Then four and five and six.

    The other shifts, grass laced with drops of dew furling beneath their shoes. “I know you aren’t really asleep.”

    Grian sighs and one narrow eye cracks open. There are three things that instantly draw his attention. First, the glare of light beaming down, radiant as it breaches over the horizon and sways and dances in the clear sky, void of any clouds. The second, bundles of ripe, nitid plums brim with sweet nectar dangle scattered across sturdy tree branches. Its leaves are stained emerald and verdun and moss green. So thin one could view through the chartreuse-tinted lenses if they so wished to. The third, his sister, Pearl staring down at him, head parallel to his. Long, ash-brown hair falls gracefully on either side of his head.

    Or: Three times Grian and Pearl nearly reveal their godly status and successfully keep it hidden from Hermitcraft. One time they almost fail (and are forced to take drastic measures.)
