#Mumbo fox hybrid

[nexahexagon]

MERRY CHRISTMAS‼️‼️

Grian and Scar were added as an afterthought so they don’t get the luxury of being colored.

Mumbo as Santa, Grian as an Elf, and Scar as,,, sexy Santa? Whatever that skin is that he has.

[whereispearlescentmoon]

I love the idea of the hybrid glitching trope in fics so much. Like the fandom has just determined that some hermits are part animal or mob or other and that sometimes they don’t get to choose how big that part is because of a glitch?

Cleo, Doc, Tango, Cub, and Jevin becoming hostile? Incredible angst potential but also humor because imagine you’re chilling with your buddy Cleo and she just starts burning in the sun and trying to eat you randomly, or Jevin keeps trying to jump into glass walls, or Tango keeps shooting fireballs at you, or Doc won’t stop hissing when you get too close and is suddenly terrified of cats. Cub is actually being relatively tame… as long as you stay away from any skulk sensors or shriekers so you don’t summon him.

For the more “animal” oriented hybrids, it’s more about wrangling than anything. Ren has gone full wolf and someone has to stop him from trying to chase down and kill Gem, Etho, and Zedaph, who will not stop running, because wolves kill foxes and sheep. No one can get False and Grian out of the sky (which is a problem because, evidently, a falcon can and will try to kill a parrot), XB disappeared into the ocean somewhere, and Scar, Beef, and Joel are… being relatively chill. Turns out a cat, a bull, and a raccoon are actually pretty easy to deal with comparatively.

As for the more esoteric or out there hermit hybrids, things are even weirder. Skizz wants to track down Impulse but Impulse won’t leave the nether and Skizz can’t enter it right now. Pearl is shapeshifter, so she’s just resigning herself to uncontrollable shifts and trying not to break anything when she randomly sprouts horns or wings or a tail. Juppet’s “handler” is gone so he’s fully just out of commission, and had to be placed in his little one by one base for the time being because he can no longer move. X looks fine outwardly, but he’s actually struggling to not fully turn into void mist inside his suit.

And for the hermits who I don’t headcanon as hybrids (Bdubs, Keralis, Hypno, Wels, and Mumbo) they’re just trying to keep things in line but maybe not doing a great job given just how quickly the situation would probably devolve, especially as X is trying to fix server issues (being the only admin who’s currently… reachable) while also trying to remain corporeal.

Etho is an artic fox hybrid

Foxes love bites

Etho tries his hardest to not bite his friends and wearing his mask does help but sometimes he slips up and playful bites one of his friends. Etho has made a list of what it's like to bite different hermits

Cleo: taste bad and will bite back

Grian: chicken

Jevin: bad idea very slimy

Joel: not bad also bite him back

Wels/X: his teeth still hurt from biting them one after the other. Their armor does taste different

Mumbo: taste like redstone

B-Dubs: mossy

Impulse: Static shocked him, ow

Tango: Spicy

Doc: WRONG ARM. BAD IDEA

Scar: mmm tastes like cookies

Finalized design for my version of Etho for hermitcraft s10!

Warning long infodump ahead about the decisions made and general lore

So I've had this idea that redstone is like uranium. Powerful, can be used for energy + various machinery and scientific discoveries, used to increase the value of the everyday lives (uranium girls ref) but with the major cause of life deletion/life altering affects. I believe that it would cause more mutations within redstoners over the course of time they are exposed to it and the varying degree that they're covered in it. But redstone is a fairly new resource that has been discovered in the world of minecraft/hermitcraft. So the research behind it isn't as strong nor as known as it should be. Therefore every effect that happens to the pioneers of redstone is completely new and unheard of. Which might be the reason why some builders like Grian, Scar, Ren, Gem, etc are hesitant to fully learn redstone mechanics due to the unknown nature of it but still aren't fully opposed because of the benefits it has.

In my world of hermitcraft for season 10 it's built off of the fact that there's quite a few people leaning into that cybery, technological, sci-fi theme. Like the Punks, then Ren's Gigaverse and of course the nature of Doc in general. So the main story is that this world of hc2410 is that it's a world that was much similar to earth. It went through the usual set of technological feats bit by bit, culture by culture.

For a long time their main power source which fueled everything was glowstone, a semi renewable material exported from the Nether and harvested from blazes and the blaze rods. Blaze rods were grinded down then compressed into glass like bilets which were then heated, strained, and forged into various forms that were needed. For a while it was small 2x2 inch cubes mainly used in lamps and later 6x6 foot cubes for lighthouses. But as the age of the iron wore on, technology looked much like the era of the vacuum tubes.

Thus began the swap of simplified forms of glowstone into the complexities of tubes and the requirement of more materials and longer time to create these specialized parts. Though that didn't stop what pioneers were part of that era, these guys being Etho, Tango, Doc, and Mumbo. Now these guys were very basic hybrids, Etho an arctic fox, Tango a nether born blaze, Doc whom was a rare specices of creeper, and Mumbo who was actually just a human. It took long and multiple days worth of work to even produce what would be a 4 part machine in modern redstone technology with glowstone. Though these guys were at this point young and determined to optimize their creations.

Glowstone in itself was a relatively safe material to work with unless of course consumed, if consumed it would wear down the lining of the stomach, cause holes in the intestines, and heat the user to an unbearable degree akin to the infamous iron bull method of torture except it was your insides and only your insides being subjected to it. To the person that found this out would never be credited and largely forgotten in most history records. Mainly because he died such a painful death and most didn't want to remember it. So when Etho was working on the mines with his crew and discovered redstone there was a guess and perhaps a hope that it would be as safe as glowstone. Therefore safety percautions that were used with materials like obsidian and diamond were thrown out the window. Instead it was instantly collected into glass cylinders and brought back to the workshop to be played around with.

Thus the reason why for most parts of hc2410 many will be seen with previous and malfunctioning innovations or straight up tech from the glowstone era. One of these people is Mumbo who still uses comms from the glowstone era as a way to keep his small hometown economy running because any way to help Big Ron was a win in his book. Pearl is also another example user of older innovations or at least less redstone heavy variations. Rather going into the world of solar, and botany side of technology dubbed leafstone. Other variations of older innovations would also have to be old port towns who used wind and small hydroplants to keep their town running and connected with the rest of the world such as Gem's & Grian's hometown.

With Etho being the main guy who really played around with it and pretty much like at it like ate it like it was sugar was thee very first to experience the mutational effect of redstone. At first his left eye would begin to flicker with rapid involuntary movement, then followed a set of what would be dubbed "chromatic abberation" (etho would be the only one to experience this and no one can confirm what he saw was accurate due to the mental state he was in), and the onset of vision loss. But this wasn't the first and last effect, he would begin to develop a second tail and unusual pelt coloring akin to the color of the newfound material. Much like the later steps of his changes the second tail development was not a pain free one. As the months continued his mental state worsened, this was due to the psychoactive effects of redstone and already altered vision. He would begin to see things that weren't there in a translucent red glow often accompanied by intense localized migraines behind the left eye. It would get so intense and unbearable that in the middle of developing the infamous etho hopper clock he began to claw at his left eye but the fingernails weren't enough and instead used a screwdriver to try to get it out. However Doc and Tango would find Etho moments before a prosthetic eye would take the permanent place of a redstone scarred eye.

Although Etho did wear a mask during the initial stages of redstone development and technology it wouldn't be enough against the sheer intake the 4 went through. Therefore under the careful guise of Xisumavoid, who'd later become the main caretaker/medic and manager, and Doc they would make several changes to how redstone was regulated. Making a mandate that all personnel, consumer, mechanic, and who ever else would have to wear a respirator and gloves during the usage of redstone. You'd think this would be easy to get the crew to swap into using respirators at the very least but it was met with much hesitation and backlash due to the blukiness that came with them. It was already tough to pack around the canisters of redstone, glowstone tubes, and iron baseplates and now they also had to squeeze into tight spaces with a clunky mess? But again Doc and Xisuma found ways to make sure that each member found a way to have their own variation of resperation based upon needs. It wasn't too hard to make one for Etho because he already had a mask but his stubbornness rivaled Doc, and took a near fatal pass out due to lack of blood production, aka just more extreme anemia, and bloody nose to convince Etho to finally add that respirator onto his mask.

Despite however the apparent dangers of redstone it sent the world of hc2410 into a new world of technology seemingly overnight, from clunky 60s-70s style tan and heavy clunk switches into an age more similar to thin touch panels and streamlined designs of now but with the flair of the iconic synthwave/cyberpunk style deemed by the 80s-90s. Yet it was met with strife due to how time consuming redstone was even with several engineers helping out on one project and most innovations were only available to the richest before being thrown out for the latest and greatest.

Also you may recall, if you've made it to this point, that I mentioned that the 4 were basic hybrids. Well much like Etho the effects on the rest weren't simple nor painless, and varied quite differently from each other. But those will be covered once their designs are finished.

I thank you if you've made it this far and I'll see you on the next hermitaday posts! :3

Edit: I also want to include that one of the main design inspos is actually Snakeyes from Gi Joe because that man is absolute gender to me. So why not combine my two favorite guys into one character.

Edit #2: Added more text breaks bc I no longer have 5 am involuntary eye movement. Which is odd because you'd think I'd need more text breaks but it's the opposite.

More stuff for Reincarnated Villain AU. Specifically about the suitors. This post will be updated whenever I think of more stuff.

Suitors:

All of Scott's suitors love hearing him laugh and will go to varying lengths just to hear it.

Skizz is an avian from Mythland. Most well known for somehow befriending the Prince of the End before the Dimension Peace Treaties were completed. He knows basically everything about what happened between Scott, Jimmy, and Tango because he managed to get Scott to open up to him. He likes Scott's hugs and will ask for them often. He is friends with everyone, but Impulse is his best friend.

Impulse is the Prince of the End. He knows basically everything about what happened between Scott, Jimmy, and Tango because he's kind of a gossip and somehow no one notices the dragon hybrid listening in. His only thought upon seeing Scott for the first time was "elf pretty". He likes Scott's hugs and won't directly ask for them. He'll wrap his tail around Scott's arm, and when asked about it Impulse will blush and say it's nothing. (It means he likes him and wants some physical contact)(Scott doesn't figure out what it means until he sees Impulse doing it to Skizz and getting a hug) He and Skizz are best friends.

Etho is a fox hybrid and the son of a court advisor from Rivendell. He and Scott have known each other since they were children. This is a very big advantage that he has over the other suitors. And they both like plants. He dated Bdubs for a bit.

Grian is a parrot avian from... somewhere. No one except the Watchers actually know where. He hides all his emotions under his extremely profound gremlin energy, so no one (not even him) knows that he's got a crush on Scott. Scott is the only person capable of dragging him to the Student Council office to do his job as president. One of the few rules he wrote (all by himself) was one that allows himself and some "randomly selected" students to create games like Guess the Build, Build & Seek, and Escape Rooms. He is Mumbo's best friend and has some sort of relationship with Scar.

Mumbo is a shapeshifter and the youngest engineer in the Grimlands. Scott tends to compliment people a lot, so Mumbo gets flustered just by being near Scott. They both dress up as vampires for the school's Halloween party, where a slightly drunk Scott ends up flirting a little with Mumbo (he couldn't even look at Scott without blushing anymore after that). He is Grian's best friend.

[lostinthe-void-666]

Random headcannon (+ other things) dump!

I have many more but this has been sitting in my drafts too long, I’ll have to make more for when those finally decide to come back to me

-The void technically doesn’t have atoms in it right? So it doesn’t have temperature? Voidwalkers can’t feel temperature.

-The Hermits all have callouses on their hands, just because of how much they all work with them

-Cleo and Doc are so strong they feel like they could crush you and not give a second thought, but they (especially cleo) are so gentle, their hugs feel very safe (gentle giants pretty much)

-I don’t ever see it, but being an admin connecting that admin to the server. Adding to that, admins having powerful magic and giving off a feeling of power around them (Xisuma’s armour muffles that feeling, it’s very ignorable)

-Also, semi-intelligent servers? I don’t know why but I find that one so fun

*deep breath* -The watchers destroyed season one. It’s the reason why they have seasons now, and also it’s why so many of the hermits from season 1 are gone, because they were taken or fell to the watchers over the years. Generik was taken by the watchers in this attack, which is why X is the admin now. The only reason the watchers haven’t been able to get to any seasons other than hermitcraft is because X is the admin, as a voidwalker, and someone with previous encounters with the watchers, the servers are much easier to hide under his guidance.

:)

-Some of the hermits love gathering little things that symbolize each of their friends

-Vampire Mumbo being so thirsty that he can’t control himself and accidentally hurts his friends. Amazing trope.

-Martyn is an honorary Hermit. He pops by from time to time to say hi

-Shapeshifter Etho, but his favorite form is an arctic fox hybrid. It’s especially funny when the other Hermits don’t know, so he can score them with various shenanigans

-One time Cub tried to map out all of the relationships between the hermits, empires, and life series members. He failed horribly.

-Stress is part fae, meaning that she is incredibly intimidating when everyone first meets her, especially when she asks someone their name.

-Scar has a few of Grian’s feathers, and he prides himself on having one of each color from his plumage and typically puts at least one in his ponytail a day, because they look really pretty

-Voidwalkers can somewhat change their form over time, but can always shift between those forms and that’s why Xisuma can look so human like but when he gets really unhealthy he can’t stay human-like anymore

[autumnmist101]

Random Individual Hermit Head-cannons

[its-muffin-tyme]

I put "concepts" instead of "fanon" so that any canon things on the list are also acceptable. You can dislike something in fandom interpretations even if that thing has canon basis

That being said... Be nice about the things you don't like! You may not like that thing, but other people do. So please show kindness and respect to others, even as you share what doesn't do it for you ^-^

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

Chapter 42 - “Raider Reunion (Martyn, Etho, Impulse, BigB)”

❤️ Read on AO3

💛 Start from Chapter 1

💚 More Pixels Imperfect fics

---

“Hey, everybody! Welcome back. My name is Josh, and we’re glad to see you here. Pleasure to meet you. Mumbo; it’s been a while. Etho! I just saw your twin and niece. He’s good with kids. She’s… not.” You both know this guy? BigB tries to sneak a glance at either one of them, but the only response he gets is Mumbo’s shrug. “I’m BigB,” he tells the enderman, still focused on the man’s neck area more than on his face. “I don’t shake. I’m an illusioner underneath the moth mods; from knox ZnHeITtk HTvkH IkItn. What are you guys doing out here?” If his terse refusal to touch hands bothers Josh, he doesn’t show it. He does, however, break into a wider smile. “Well, thanks for joining us today. We’re setting up for one of my favorite games: Is There a Limit? Specifically… Is there a limit to how many people we can have waterskiing behind a dragon at the same time?” “… What’s waterskiing?”

Scott gave BigB until sunset to talk to his old raider friends. BigB didn't bring a clock.

Meanwhile, Impulse seeks help for his goo problem and Martyn breaks into Cleo's house. Just a typical day in New Star Station...

Location: Approaching wool farm, North New Star Station

🖤  🌕  🖤

Are you sure you can handle this? Every twitch in Martyn’s form screams at him to voice the question. Spikes and feathers twist inside his hearts. Nostrils flare. Maybe that’s why Bdubs blurts out his words without thinking them through: because keeping a shut jaw fills a guy with alligator wriggles. Technically, the proper way to sort out this lack of faith would be to take it to the sparring ring, but Martyn can’t do that either… Not with Rosejoy’s rippling muscles a hand’s breadth from his own. Hey, she has claim on the Fox Dragon’s turf. That can’t be an accident. And if it was, then it’d be just my luck that lightning strikes her twice.

“You did all right out there,” Martyn tells her, which is less direct than asking why she challenged Impulse in the first place. You think she knew she’d lose upfront? Huh. Maybe she gets drunk on the way people talk. They’ll have gossip and clip compilations for days.

Chunky fingers tighten around his own. Martyn looks down to the wobbly eyes of a much lower-XP phantom hybrid clinging to his hand. “What about me?”

“Aww, you too, slugger. You really showed Baker what-for. All tuckered out now, are we? Yeah…”

Lucky rubs a fist across his eye. It hides a yawn, but Martyn’s hearts spring forward like rabbits when the arrows come a’flyin’. The foxes he hatched would’ve liked to eat rabbit, actually. Martyn pats Lucky behind the shoulder, but throws a glance to Rosejoy to see if she caught what just happened there. And the stare she returns, uh… answers that question pretty dang well.

Sleepy kid. His energy’s dropping fast. The portals are still down, so there’s no dodging this by jumping AFK. We need more food. If Bdubs will listen long enough to follow orders-

“Aw, Lucky’s gonna love hanging with me,” Rosejoy butts in, thwapping him with the end of her tail. She caught Martyn on the way, which was probably the point.

And you’re sure? he wants to ask again. Lucky’s a member of the New Star flock; he’s never been alone with Rosejoy before. Mental ping after mental ping fires down Martyn’s spine. Rival captain bad. Rival captain take or kill. Brrr. That’ll wake you up in the morning. That’ll give you shivers all the way ‘til bed.

“So, what’s the big guy’s story?” Rosejoy asks, moving a few steps away. The shift of her wings and the grimace of his lips paint a picture Martyn only dares to imagine from the outside looking in: Two flock captains testing one another’s boundaries; they maintain a truce ‘cuz someone outside told them so. It sure ain’t instinct keeping the rules intact. She continues, bouncing every step. “Who would mod out of being a phantom with a wingspan like that? I bet wind resistance runs from him!”

Oh, it does. The glitter in her eye ripples Martyn to his core. The swing in her tail’s a little too lax for a guest who’s got everything to lose with raiders in her home. The soft smirk’s a little too wide. She doesn’t want to lead him aboveground… Does she? Will the Lone Spruce refugees even be allowed aboveground when the coast is clear? Unsure. And Martyn wonders then, with a quickening through his hearts… whether Impulse - if offered the chance to rejoin a flock - would actually say ‘Yes.’

I mean, I don’t see any reason Scott could refuse him, right? Impulse can fly. He’s got the wings, the strength, the speed… If the phantoms get to go, why wouldn’t he?

“Ah, just medical reasons,” he says anyway, clinging tighter to Lucky’s hand. “Nice guy. Just super pent-up, if you know what I mean. I just feel sorry for his wife. He can’t target anymore, y’know? There go the love hearts.”

“He can’t hunt?”

“Lost his soul teeth. We keep him fed.” We have a system. He’s with us. So back off. He can’t ascertain from her silence whether the implication came across, printed in his tone, but at least Rosejoy doesn’t press the topic harder. Seriously, she hovered around Impulse enough back there at the squall- Did you hear the stuff she asked him?

There should be enough souls left in storage to keep Lucky going. Martyn looked through the mess with Bdubs last night. Bdubs still has a few in his soul pouch, but whether he shares is anyone’s guess. Like Hels he will, Martyn gripes, because Bdubs already made his position quite clear when he caught Cleo offering a feed: That’s the captain’s job. And he’s not the captain.

Really, though? To refuse a kid? Technically Bdubs didn’t refuse Lucky, but Martyn’s not about to ask him to share. Not before exhausting all his options. And maybe not even then.

We prep the nest. I feed the kid. Simple, simple two-step plan. And if it comes to it, there will be no asking. It’ll be a demand straight from his mouth to Bdubs’ ears. And the boss better listen up if he knows what’s good for him.

Their first stop is for more blankets from the wool farm. Last night everyone was restless, off and on the roosting platform for hours. Martyn brought out the board games and Bdubs did a little improv show - a little open mic night - but the fewer souls they’ve got on hand, the more exhausted everyone will get. What’s wrong with a little cuddle pile? Aw, roosting’s such an effort. Nobody says that, but they could! And you don’t grow up to be Martyn InTheLittleWood unless you’ve learned to be prepared.

Mumbo used to compliment me on random stuff in my inventory. Cleo too, but this is Sad Times About Mumbo right now. Martyn is trying very, very hard not to think about Cleo. Just check the moon and her AFK status if you wanna take a crack at why.

“Lucky, keep your hands behind your back. You’ll spook the villagers, remember? They’ll run.”

“Okay.”

“That’s why I wear the hoodie,” Rosejoy says, keeping back. When Martyn shoots a glance at her, debating whether to shoo her even farther off (Because let’s be real, three approaching phantoms would get anyone’s hackles up, even if they’re on foot), she just smiles. “You go on and do your thing. I’m barracking for you.”

The villagers regard Rosejoy with way too much apprehension to approach the fence. Martyn can read it in their shoulders; not even Meriwo will get close, and it’s the village headman. Martyn pulls his hoodie sleeves over his hands and hops the fence the old-fashioned way. He can’t speak the villager language and New Star’s mobs sure as hell aren’t sparked, but he’ll find a way. He’ll use bold gestures with his arms.

“Oh, this’d be so much easier if they didn’t scramble off when they see sign language.” Or if I had BigB and Cleo out here.

Monstober Day 8: Hybrids (WooSanHwa)

Day 8/13

Summary: Seonghwa works with Hybrids to rehabilitate them after traumatic events.

CW: None?

I left this one more open ended on purpose incase I decide to write a more fleshed out fic for it

not beta read

Series Masterlist

“He’s right through here, Mr. Park..” The officer places a hand on the push bar of the metal door, but doesn’t open it. “He hasn’t said a word to anyone since getting here… good luck and I’ll be right here if he gets violent, so just yell.” 

“Thank you, but I’m sure that won’t be needed.” Seonghwa replies to the officer as they push the door open and allow him through. 

Inside the small investigation room sits one metal table with two chairs on either side and a one way mirror that takes up most of the opposite wall. Sitting in one chair is San, the panther hybrid that Seonghwa has been tasked with rehabilitating. He is wearing handcuffs that connect the table. His head hanging as he stares at his lap, if it wasn’t for the cat ear twitching on his head, Seonghwa would have thought San didn’t notice him enter.

“Hello San… My name is Seonghwa. How are you feeling today?” Seonghwa carefully moves to the free chair and sits down. Moving slowly so as to not startle the hybrid. 

As expected, San doesn’t say or do anything. “I’ve been assigned to help you… but I can’t do that if you don’t speak to me.. I’m sure you know that you’re being put on trial for what happened to your handler…” San flinches back in his seat, what little Seonghwa can see of his face is scrunched into a grimace. “But I’m here to help you set the record straight.” 

They sit in silence for a while, Seonghwa letting San get used to his presence and scent. He does this for all of the extreme cases, introducing himself and what his job is, telling the hybrid his goal with helping them, and in the rarer instances—like this one— sitting in the room with the hybrid while Seonghwa does something else. This time, that ‘something else’ is paperwork for Wooyoung’s—a fox hybrid that Seonghwa cares for— upcoming doctor’s appointment. 

The longer they sat in silence, the more curious San grew, lifting his head to watch Seonghwa. After a moment Seonghwa lifts his gaze to San and smiles kindly. 

“Don’t worry, this has nothing to do with you…I’m filling out some paperwork for the other hybrid I care for.” Seonghwa replies simply, turning the paper so San can see that he isn’t lying. The hybrid nods his head, the chains rattle as he fiddles with his hands under the table. 

“However… I do have one thing to fill out that involves you.” Seonghwa rustles through his papers until he finds the one he needs. He places it down on the table and slides it over to San. “I have requested that you be released into my care for the time being. All I need is your signature to show your consent to this. Should you like, you’ll leave with me today and stay at my house for the duration of your trial. That paper lists all of the accommodations I already have in place and I left some blank lines for you to add anything else you want to request. I am willing to change anything on the list if you ask and I’ll do my absolute best to meet whatever requests you have but I will not tolerate anything that is potentially harmful to you, the hybrid already staying with me, or myself. In addition, per the agreement I have made with the court, you are not permitted to leave my home unattended.” 

San blinks, looking down at the paper Seonghwa handed him. He skims most of it, not caring for the legal mumbo jumbo, but he stops to carefully read the accommodations Seonghwa had listed. The most notable being that he would have his own room that could lock for his privacy and comfort, but Seonghwa would have a key incase of emergencies. And he would have his own bathroom that connected to his room. San signs the paper.

“Before we head in, I want to warn you about Wooyoung… the other hybrid that lives here.” Seonghwa turns off the car and turns to face San in the passenger seat. “He can be a little excited when someone new comes over… He means well, but he doesn’t always realize how loud he can be.” 

San nods slowly, worriedly glancing at the house. Seonghwa places a tentative hand on San’s knee reassuringly. “It’ll be okay.” 

at one much..” 

“Wooyoung, we talked about this.. Remember that not everyone likes having their personal space invaded.” Seonghwa says patiently as he observes from the side. Wooyoung’s eyes grow wide as he remembers and he looks back at San, taking a slow, dramatic, step back before looking to Seonghwa for approval. “Good boy Youngie.. Now, why don’t you show San to his room and I’ll order a Pizza or two for dinner.. If that’s alright with you, San.”

At San’s nod of approval, Wooyoung bounds off down the hallway. “Here’s your room. My room is across the hall if you need anything… and Hwa’s is down there and to the left.” Wooyoung points a clawed finger deeper into the home. The two of them stand there, Wooyoung rocking on his heels as San opens the door to his room and walks inside. It’s not a large room by any means, but it’s the biggest room San has ever had. It has a full sized bed that’s been freshly made, a desk and chair, a large wooden dresser and even a full bookshelf. San spots a door on the far wall and figures it’s the bathroom. 

“You don’t talk much.. Do you?” Wooyoung asks, waltzing into the room and plopping down on the edge of the bed. He bounces up and down, “It’s okay if you don’t.. I can talk enough for the both of us,” Wooyoung smiles at San and San almost smiles back.

Seonghwa wakes up the next morning and nearly trips over Wooyoung, who is lying on the floor in front of San’s bedroom door. “Youngie, what are you doing?” 

“San sounded distressed last night.. I could hear him pacing back and forth…” Wooyoung replies sadly, pouting. 

“That still doesn’t explain why you were sleeping in front of his door.”

“I was worried.. But his door was locked so I sat outside it for a while and talked to him through the door… well, I talked at him.. But he stopped pacing after a while.” Wooyoung said, his tail swishing from side to side behind him. Seonghwa ushers Wooyoung along, glancing back at San’s door in concern. 

Morning’s for the next month are much the same. Seonghwa gets up and heads to get Wooyoung up for the day as well, but nearly tripping on the fox hybrid in the process. Every morning, he asks Wooyoung why he was sleeping outside San’s door. And every morning it’s the same answer. 

“He was upset, Hwa.. He calms down when I talk to him.. I didn’t mean to spend all night out here, but I fell asleep..” 

Seonghwa tries to ask San about it, trying to figure out how to help him settle at night. But San still won’t talk to Seonghwa, he only answers yes or no questions. And while technically a form of communication, it isn’t very efficient in finding the root of the problem. 

Wooyoung, however, has been making some headway. San seems to respond to the other hybrid well, enjoying his company and seeking him out within the house once San wakes for the day. And, apparently, finding comfort in the foxes' presence outside his door at night.

Wooyoung wakes up leaning against the wall next to San’s door. But it isn’t because Hwa woke him.. In fact, it’s still dark outside. It doesn’t take long for Wooyoung to realize what had woken him when he hears quiet whimpers from behind San’s door. The panther hybrid sounds hurt and Wooyoung tries the door knob, locked.. It’s always locked at night. Wooyoung thinks, pacing in front of the door.

Seonghwa! Hwa has a spare key for emergencies.. And Wooyoung would count this as an emergency. He doesn’t want to wake Hwa though, so he carefully sneaks into the humans room. Quietly opening the drawer where he keeps the key and gets out of the room as fast as he can. 

Returning to San’s room, Wooyoung knocks softly first. “San? Are you okay?” He asks. If he can avoid using the key he will, but he only receives a pained whimper in response. “I'm going to use the spare key…” He calls out softly, letting San know his moves. 

Entering the room, San is laying on the floor in front of his bed. He is curled tightly around himself and trembling. He’s whispering something in his sleep that Wooyoung can’t quite make out, despite his enhanced hearing. He carefully approaches San, crouching down next to the sleeping hybrid.

“Didn’t know…” San mumbles in his sleep. “Didn’t mean to… I’m sorry, I’m sorry..” 

Wooyoung ghosts a hand over San’s shoulder and then suddenly, he is pinned to the ground with two hands around his neck. 

His hands fly up to cover San’s, trying to pry them off his airway. “S-an… It’s me. Wo-Wooyoung” San’s eyes are hazy as he looks at Wooyoung, or rather, looks through Wooyoung. “It’s o-okay… you’re safe..” 

San’s eyes focus on Wooyoung and widen, he removes his hands from around Wooyoung’s neck and scrambles back until he hits the wall. Wooyoung coughs, rolling onto his side as he catches his breath. 

“I…Oh my god..” A raspy voice whispers and Wooyoung realizes that San spoke. Wooyoung sits up and looks at San. “I’m so sorry Wooyoung.. Please don’t tell Seonghwa…he’ll..he-” 

“What do you think he’ll do, San? Wooyoung asks quietly and when San doesn’t answer he scoots closer. “San… What happened?” 

Unexpectedly, San breaks into tears. He places his head in his hands and draws his knees up to his chest. Wooyoung crawls over to San and wraps him in his arms, rocking the two of them gently as he shushes San. They stay like that until San calms down enough that his sobs turn into sniffles. Wooyoung sits next to San but continues to cradle the panther hybrid in his arms and rubbing his back soothingly. 

“Can you talk about it? I don’t think it’s safe for you to keep it bottled up anymore..” Wooyoung whispers. 

He feels San give a small nod before shakily inhaling. “I was assigned a mission to gather intel on a group of local weapons dealers. It was a run of the mill job, I had done countless of the same jobs before. But someone tipped them off. They knew I was coming and set a trap. I was knocked unconscious and when I came to,”San chokes back another sob, his voice wavering. Wooyoung encourages him to continue. “When I came to, I was in a blacked out room. There was no light at all, even with my ability to see well in the dark, I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face. There was also no sound. I was completely cut off from those senses. I wasn’t fed or given water the whole time I was kept there. None of the torture was physical, it was worse… being cut off like that.. It can drive a person mad.” San sniffles, exhaling heavily. “When they finally found me I was delirious… My handler was the one who opened the door.. He was the first person I saw…But the bright light from his flashlight and the hallway lights behind him blinded me.. I thought it was one of the weapons dealers coming to finish me off. I didn’t mean to kill him.. I swear..”

“I believe you..” Wooyoung and San sat in silence. The only sound being that of San’s sniffles. 

As the sniffles die down, Wooyoung speaks. “You need to tell Hwa.. He wants to help you and is worried about you..” 

“I want to.. But I’m scared..” San admits. 

‘I’ll be right by you the whole time… if you want.” Wooyoung smiles reassuringly. 

“Please..” 

The next morning, Wooyoung and San meet Seonghwa in the living room. San opens up to Seonghwa, telling him what he had told Wooyoung the night before. And Wooyoung stays next to San the entire time, holding his hand and rubbing thumb over the back of San’s hand. 

Hearing what had caused San’s lashing out hurt Seonghwa, cutting into his heart. He crosses the room to where the hybrids are sitting and kneels before San. Seonghwa places his hands over top of Wooyoung and San’s joined ones. “I am so sorry.” 

“It wasn’t your fault, Seonghwa..” San spoke. 

“I know.. But I still hate what happened.. And I hate that you’re being tried for it..” Seonghwa stands, wrapping his arms around San. He pulls the hybrid against him, petting his hair, “You’ll get through this.. And if you’ll let us, Wooyoung and I will be here to help you every step of the way.” 

San smiled, for the first time in a long time, nuzzling against Seonghwa and gripping Wooyoung’s hand tighter. “I would really like that..”
