    Summary

    What started out as a joke quickly turned into something more devastating.

    None of the Hermits were excited for this exchange program, in honesty it sounded stupid to force them out of their well comforted school and home. Scar's friends weren't exactly happy he was the one picked for their social experiment either.

    It ended up leading to a rabbit hole of a missing person's case, a teacher's suspicious death, ghosts, and a boy who adamantly refuses to where his uniform.

    Scar didn't expect to uncover a cold case when he changed schools.

    Or: A combination of the YHS lore where the hermits are able to intervene and help Grian.

    Summary

    “Sorry, Yoshiki,” Hikaru groans as tears come out of one eye and more of him comes out of the other. “Ughh, I don’t – ”

    Yoshiki can see how hard he’s trying to calm himself down, but it just isn’t working.

    “It’s ok,” Yoshiki says, quiet. “It’s ok. Instead of shovin’ it back inside completely, can you try just...lettin’ it out? Just a little bit?”

    He has no clue how any of this works, but maybe a half-measure is better than trying to force it all at once.

    “Okay,” Hikaru says, but it sounds like a sob. More of the unknowable, incomprehensible swirl leaks out into the dark room.

    “Yoshiki – shit – ‘m sorry but can I…” Hikaru’s face – what’s visible behind the bloom of him – twists in a small kind of agony. “Can I touch you? Not much. Just – ”

    It's been years since Hikaru first took the body of Yoshiki's dead best friend. Despite everything - every horror and hurt - they managed to find a home in each other. Not quite friends or family. More and not. What they have is complicated, but precious.

    But when Yoshiki escapes their small town – to college, to Tokyo – Hikaru follows. And things start to change for them both.

    Summary

    “I was just wondering. Why is it that only girls can give stuff during Valentine’s Day?”

    “It’s the way it’s always been”, Yoshiki quietly replied, his calmness betraying the way his fingers gripped the mechanical pen.

    “What about you?”, he kept going, his inherited impatience from Hikaru shining through as his body stood up and hurried towards Yoshiki. Unphased by the widened expression looking up at him, Hikaru dropped the thin papers on top of their homework, pointing at the pretty red and pink heart-shaped chocolate boxes. “Would ya’ like it? If someone gave you something like this? Do ya’ want this kinda’ romance too?”

    or,

    Hikaru thinks about Valentine’s Day. Burdened by Yoshiki’s impenetrable sorrow, he sets out on a mission to give him a date to remember — no matter that it was the middle of June.

    Summary

    When Grian opened his eyes, a wave of intense pain and confusion instantly overwhelmed him, giving him a splitting headache. He didn't know where he was. His back ached from the heavy fall. His wings were also slightly torn from the earlier struggle. He raised his hand to touch his neck, where the marks of being grabbed still lingered. Dazzling sunlight streamed in through a small window, making it difficult for him to keep his eyes open.

    He was lying on a bed that felt both strange and familiar. The room was small, old, and dirty. The air was filled with a mixture of Doritos and sweat. As his eyes gradually adjusted to the light, he fully realized where he was. This room, this smell, this feeling…

    They were all both familiar and distant. Grian sat on the edge of the bed and glanced at a uniform lying on the floor. A white shirt with a light brown button-up jacket over it. His body instantly froze.

     

    TLDR: What if HC!Grian and YHS!Grian swapped places?
