Pale White Horse AU by Cocoabats :D

[hermigeddon]

There Can Only Be One

[reaoreo]

made a little thing

[canaryy15]

hellooo I was just wondering if you had any good fic recommendations for like angsty Grian or Jimmy? Been meaning to look for some and thought you’d have a good opinion on it!

OK OK OK Ive had to think a bit

I dont read fics too often just rlly when im bored BUT !!! I saw an old animatic of Pale White Horse with Grian and its a very cool au of what if Scar died early in 3rd life!! Theres a few comics with it as well but heres the overall A03 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/47167075?view_full_work=true

AAAND for Jimmy i usually only read ones with him for flower husbands LOL but theres a good ‘choose your adventure’ one here on tumblr!! I havent finished it entirely but its very interesting to me despite me not even being able to put the plot to words: https://www.tumblr.com/blueishspace/759768686477377536/something-old-and-new-borrowed-and-blue (i also hear slay the watcher is very good, havent read it myself but its another kind of choose your adventure thing)

If you ever want to ask for more feel free but it’ll prob be a longer wait since im busy with my show LOL

[cocoabats]

is the pale white horse au just a Tumblr thing, or is there a fic on AO3, or?

there is! the main one is past love linger like phantom limb

theres also another shorter, written earlier on fic Down They Fell!

The End

[cocoabats]

Okay okay, if it's not diving too deep into spoiler territory (or you want to save it for later you can ignore this) but, what would Scott and Jimmy's reactions be as their ally comes rolling up with Ren?

This is a very fun ask plus it sparked some more angst writing in our pwhau chat so thats always welcome :}

Scott and Jimmy are VERY angry at Grian. Scott as the only person with the braincell somewhat figures out what Grian wants to do and at some point they have a talk about it. He's not impressed.

Things changes after Jimmy is killed. In Scotts eyes Grian not only has done NOTHING but help their enemy, he also was one of the people fighting them when Jimmy was killed.

So they have a confrontation during one of the battles, Grian doesnt know why Scott suddenly actually wants him dead, they fight, Scott throws it in his face that he's done nothing, that he got comfortable.

Grian loses his green life to Scotts sword straight through his back.

[cocoabats]

Where do I read the PWHAU???? It looks so good but I just can’t find it anywhere???? People where saying ao3 but it’s not on there!!!

here's the masterpost where you can find everything!

[cocoabats]

hm. the willow maid by erutan is very pwh-martyn-and-grian-core

ANON IM SO ILL ABOUT THIS

[cocoabats]

"Grian-- why would you do this?"

". . ."

"Gri-"

"You took away who I cared about most. I thought it fitting I do the same."

"No, no.. We saved you-"

"I never asked to be saved."

"But surely you didn't want to be with him, you always said-"

"I know what I said, but I also was the one that said I owed him my first life. He didn't make me make the vow, I made it on my own."

"But- the diamond swords--"

"Netherite is stronger than diamond."

^^^^^^ my thoughts whenever I see the Pale Horse AU and it rots my brain

godddddd netherite is stronger than diamond!!! anon!!!!!!! anon you cant do that to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cocoabats]

I stopped the animatic right on time and- THE HANDS!! THE LIGHTNING IS HANDS GIVING THE CROWN TO MARTYN

yeeee i had lots of fun with that one >:} (hmmm wonder who these hands belong to,,,,,, who could give the hand his crown,,,,hmmm)

[cocoabats]

I'm back to cause more issues I uh mean angst, but I can imagen small details, but like Grian's room much like a mental state is a mess, as he gets over scars death more or so everyone thinks it seems to be looking cleaner, and at the point, it's the cleanest is when grian finally decides he's killing everyone else. (idk why this came to me but it has and now its your problem <3)

oughhhhhhhhh i love that, i will gladly take that problem, thats such a nice way to visualize whats going on inside grians head
