"I- I don't know anymore- Scott, where is he?" His voice squeals. "You do weird things! I was allay too- We're messed up, aren't we? Gods, I know a few tricks. I still do. I'm not stupid. Why won't you show us a replay? Where is he?"

"I- I-"

"Did you hurt him?"

Scott can't speak. Only noises- noises, noises… flicker, flicker, flicker. And in that moment, Scar snaps. His wings burst out like fireworks. Pink feathers explode in all directions. He lunges forward, yanking Scott up by the collar, spittle slinging off his fangs- Feet off the floor, feet kicking- Scar's wings are WILD as he-

"Where IS HE!?"

New Dog's Life chapter today! ~ 3rd Life series fan-season

Chapter 45 - “Stormy Eyes (BigB, Scar, Etho)”

❤️ Read on AO3

💛 Start from Chapter 1

💚 More Pixels Imperfect fics

Playing Clockers with Etho and Cleo is only half the fun; let’s not underestimate what a little brother figure brings to the roleplay table! So fun, pressing his buttons… stepping on his toes and pushing him around. The whole family picks on each other here and there, but there’s love and loyalty swimming through every huff and glare. At least, that’s how Scar sees their silly game. But if any one of them is going to call it quits… Bdubs would be the one. He balances on a razor-thin edge of play, like he might fall out the window and splash in the moat at any moment. Or just jump. Just fly off without ever looking back.

In which Mumbo falls in love with waterskis, Scar has an important conversation (and a critical non-conversation), and Etho struggles against his vulpine nature.

(First 1,000 words under the cut - #trafficshipping for BigB musing over Double Life, Ren, Grian, and Grian's AFK-bound wife)

Location: Half Moon Lake, North Lone Spruce

🖤  🌕  🖤

Seven. That, BigB figured, had to be the max amount of waterskiers you could tie behind a dragon. Any more than that will crash or lag each other out, though no one’s gonna say that to Josh. And at this point, Stella’d had enough of being prepped and stood ready for take-off, belly-deep in icy lake water. That… couldn’t possibly be comfy. But she didn’t look snappy. “Not snappy” is a good look on a dragon. In fact, more of them should try it. BigB lines up three in his mind, then stutters to a halt. Because that last one is Alice, when Vee bumped into her on her way to the dessert table and BigB had to spin all his wheels to calm her down again.

So, um. We’re just gonna move right past that. If you’re just thinking about the time a lady obsessed with decorum snapped at you at a party, her creepy babies staring and hissing from her shoulders and sleeves, does that count as speaking ill of the dead? What if she really WAS scary when she yelled, though? He and Vee got out of there fast, but they were both shaking from the shoulders to their toes.

Well…

So this is waterskiing? I guess we just go with it… Come on. If you had to hang out with your friends during any activity, you gotta admit playing in the water beats a couple card games. I mean, this is one to write home about it. BigB switches his recording eyes on. Nobody’s saying not to.

He banks around, trying to catch a moth’s-eye view of the lake. It’s drizzling sleet right now. That stuff weighs down his wings and patters in the water with a sound that’ll drive you crazy, but he takes what skims he can. Hey, maybe Sprinkles deserves a raise. Her lenses won’t fog up or smudge. That’s something New Star never has to deal with: terrible weather. They just feel the shift in Void currents when the seasons turn.

He curves his glide into an upright hover. Ohh, my! There’s gotta be 20 people treading water down there, leads in hand. Aren’t they freezing? Who signs up for stuff like this? Well. Yeah, I totally would. Not so much anymore, though. When his wings get soggy, his vision blurs and it’s a lot harder to fly. BigB pushes one hand beneath his robes, across the scarred, roughed-up patch of skin where dragon teeth once ripped straight through his soul. Got a neat scar out of it, though. Grian likes to walk his thumbs along it, pressing tight on every stitch… That’s always nice. Their warm-chilly soul combination means they can’t leave lasting breath-marks, but that hasn’t stopped Grian from doting like they’re the prettiest stitches in the world.

… Grian. Um. Yeeeeah. BigB scrubs his hands against his eyes, really scraping the knuckles in the curves. Yeah, we better address the cheating situation. Like, people say that’s a red flag and you should cut your losses while you can, not even telling the other guy first before you dump and run, but Grian’s not a backstabbing kind of guy. And trying to line up the reasons why his hearts are eating each other alive leaves BigB shaking like a sheep in bitter wind. Should he fly down and land? Yeah… Yeah, maybe he should. Where’s Stella when you need her? (Down in the water, same as she’s been for ages now). He’ll land. In a minute, when he’s done pulling fingers through his hair.

You know the worst part? He can’t even be mad. Grian already apologized for flirting with his wife… Is it even cheating, at that point?

I knew about Honey upfront, and I was still okay with seeing Grian then. Kind of like how Grian knew no matter how flushed and flirty they got around each other, BigB shared his marital bed with Ren, and Grian would slink back to Scar. His cheeks smart the way hot sparks inside a furnace do. Like, the slow-burning kind in the lava bucket that ooze all down the walls. Ren’s very tactile. He likes to hold and pin and lick and smell- He’s just too much, and wants to take and take and was never gonna fall in love.

I marked him back. Ren bit with teeth in all the places BigB let him, and every chilly breath across Ren’s magma skin was freely left there by the passion of a desperate husband. I ruffled his pixels myself. Nobody made me do it. And Grian must’ve known. So. So he shouldn’t freak out if Grian’s passionate with Honey when they’re alone.

I would’ve liked to know, though. He told me he’d given up on her. That’s not fair. Is it fair? Were they supposed to talk about this? Maybe I’m just jealous.

Honestly, there’s no way to know without talking to someone else, and that’s a risky gamble. Ohhh, that’s risky, man. “BigB and Grian” is one of those hot-button issues you can tell people dodge around, especially their Double Life friends. As he flaps against the wind, his reflection dancing in the lake, BigB lets out a groan. The only people he can trust up here are Mumbo and Etho. Etho’s never said a word about it, but BigB can tell he’s standoffish about the whole thing (about how he and Grian fell in together). Yeah, he can tell. And Mumbo? He’s sharing Grian’s soul. It’d put him in a weird spot to grump about Grian then.

I just don’t get it. If he wants to see Bdubs, that’s fine. And if he wants to date his wife, that’s fine too! He knows I’m cool with poly, so why can’t he just keep me in the loop? And what’s up with the promise bond around his neck? Grian’s all evasive about it, and the longer he stares at the water below, the faster BigB’s code swirls around his hearts.

Grian knows. He has to know who put that claim on him. Somebody he’s close enough with; someone he undeniably trusts. Mumbo says it wasn’t him, and he vouched it wasn’t Scar just like Etho did. “Scar’s not like that.” / “Okay.”

So it’s Honey, then… Right? And Grian’s lying when he says he doesn’t love her. This whole time, he’s probably been kissing her in bed, her hair splayed across the pillow and blankets twisted around their legs. Or he wants to, at least… Maybe she’s not into kisses, just golden carrots.

Except that’s a big, big lie Grian’s pulled off if he’s carroting his wife in private, then claiming he doesn’t even know how love hearts work.

“Dude, I dunno,” BigB mutters at the air. Nothing about this makes sense. Who else would loop his neck like that? Bond magic only works with two-way consent… Is there someone else? Someone so secret, Grian’s got another undiscovered affair? Euggggghhh….
