When Martyn was fifteen, he saw his first crow. The two stared at each other for a second- the bird's beady black eyes versus Martyn's green ones- and then the crow tipped its head, spread its wings, and flew off.
Not long after, Martyn's mother came down with a sudden illness and passed away.
Ever since then, Martyn's been traveling the land. If a crow shows up in the place he's in, he leaves as quickly as possible. They mean misfortune, he's puzzled out, so he shouldn't stick around when they're near. He doesn't want to get caught in the crossfire, after all.
He hasn't ever been all that good at doing what he should, though.

3rd Life AU set in medieval times. Inspired by The Garden by The Crane Wives.
Warning: If you haven't yet watched 3rd Life and don't want to be spoiled, I'd advise holding off on reading this story.

Learning To See
Martyn was born blind and has always relied heavily on his hearing to navigate and understand the world around him. He walks with a cane, and his eyes are always closed-he doesn't even know what color they are, nor has he ever thought to ask. For him, the world has always been cloaked in darkness. That began to change when he discovered a small spark of magic within himself. With time and practice, he learned to use it to "paint" mental images of people and places in his mind. Through subtle differences in tone, mood, and cadence, he could distinguish colors-hearing the warmth of a sunset in a laugh, or the chill of blue in a hushed whisper. Over the years, he also honed his ability to read body language-not through sight, but through sound. The shifting of feet, the rhythm of someone's breath, the way fabric brushed against itself as someone turned-all of it became a symphony of cues that told him what others could see with their eyes. Martyn often kept to himself, sitting quietly in the corner of a room with a Braille book in his hands, lost in the raised dots beneath his fingers. Most people didn't approach him. Whether it was discomfort or uncertainty, he had grown used to being left alone. But that all changed the day a new transfer student joined the theater program. Curious and unafraid, they noticed Martyn sitting by himself and, rather than shy away, felt drawn to him. For the first time in a long while, Martyn's quiet world began to shift-not just with sound and magic, but with the unexpected rhythm of connection.Complete

I know he's my ex but...a part of me still loves him. AHHHH!! Why is this so confusing?! A part of me loves Martyn and I know it always will, but another part of me wants to be with Jimmy. What should I do? ... I know. I should talk to Grian and find out the truth. Because I'm tired of being lied to and shoved to the side. So Grian, if you hear this, Get ready to spill the beans. ~~•~~ Scott tries and finds the truth behind everything while Grian tries to hide it all. Mumbo has trouble in his relationship as he constantly gets shoved aside, and Scar gets flashbacks to when he was a kid and how he got his name in the first place. And Jimmy :) Jimmy gets thrown into the middle of this, not knowing what to do or who to believe. He actually ends up debating leaving all of his friends to look out for himself. Besides, the only person we know best is ourselves. (Cover art is not mine)Complete

Look who's back again | Grian Hermitcraft x YHS (x Empires?) fanfic
Grian had spent his whole life running. Running away from Evo. Running away from YandereHigh. Running away from Sam. He was sick of it. So when he finds himself back in the hellhole of his teenage years, the memories become too strong to handle, and runs away from his group of fellow hermits. With hermits becoming suspicious of the avian's inactivity, what can they do to try and help him? Can Grian escape his nightmares, and drown out the horrible memories? Or will he be what's suffering at his friends hands, unable to find them? That's not for me to say. Welcome back to YandereHigh, Grian. _____________________________________________ This fanfic was ALSO brought to you by a Wattpad obsessed teenager :D This is slightly a headcannon au, meaning somethings are different.
