Summary
Apropos of nothing, Ren remembered the strange night he’d spent at the old community centre, when the glyphs on the walls had deciphered themselves before his eyes, and he’d felt otherworldly breath on the nape of his neck. “Er—have you mentioned your name—?”
“Oh, what a heathen I am,” said the man. “It’s Martyn. With a Y, make sure you get that right.” As Ren watched, he popped another strawberry into his mouth and chewed, all grinning recalcitrance. “And you’re Ren, the new farmer. Of course I know. Everyone’s talking about you.”
Ren's just moved to the Valley, and the farm he inherited is a mess. Fortunately, he's got a not-quite-human farmhand to help out.

Summary
“Look,” said Martyn. “I don’t want to explain myself, or talk to anybody, and if someone tries to take my picture I’ll kill them.”
He glanced over his shoulder, into the fir-lined drive below the ski lodge. Ren said, “Okay.”
“I just,” Martyn said, “need somewhere to sleep. Just for a few days.”
“Okay,” said Ren again. He would have given Martyn the world, if only it were still his to give. “I can do that.”
Ren hasn't gone anywhere. He hasn't been anywhere for a long time. He's learning that the only thing worse than being in a death game is not being in the death game—at least, until Martyn comes calling.

Summary
“It was just—shadows and whispers, at first," Martyn said. "I could walk right through them. But the more I listened, the stronger they grew.” He scrubbed a hand across his face. “It’s my fault, I reckon, a lot of it.”
Ren pulled him closer, needing to feel something warm and real. “It’s not.”
“I always knew it wasn’t really you. They’d get your voice wrong, or the way you walked or held your sword. But sometimes—”
“Yeah?”
“Sometimes I’d play along,” said Martyn, toneless and faraway. “Indulge them. It was better than not having you at all.”
The winner of the last death game has gone missing. Ren goes looking for him. But there are other things searching for Martyn, too—things that look like Ren, that wear his face and speak with his voice, and it isn't always easy to tell them apart.

Summary
Everyone knew that vampires don't exist. Zombies and skeletons? You could see the evidence of them everywhere once the sun went down. Vampires? They were merely things of legend.
Except here Martyn was, face to face with one: his own king, a damn vampire.

Beneath a Cursed Exterior Lies the Same Heartbeat by harpydora

Summary
The first time Ren disappears, Martyn doesn't think much of it. They haven't been allied that long, they don't have any real enemies to speak of, and Ren is his own person. He can do whatever he wants, and it's none of Martyn's business.
When Ren disappears the next few times, it's still none of Martyn's business. Goodness knows he's got his own personal things going on that he doesn't particularly want to share, even with people who are ostensibly his friends. There's no reason Ren would be any different.
When Ren gives him the axe; when Ren orders him to take his head; when Ren becomes the Red King and Martyn becomes the Red King's Hand, though…
Now, it's become Martyn's business.

Summary
---
Tentatively, he spreads his fingers out until his whole palm is pressed against the armor. The magic makes it heavier to hold but comes with a certain kind of spark. Something hard to replicate. He wonders if it somehow feels warm when Ren wears it and feels silly when he finds himself hoping it does.Something other than logic compels him to ask.
“Let me arm you, er, put your armor on you… my king.” He stammers through the proposition.
---Martyn comes up with the idea of helping Ren with his armor. A story told in the yes' and the no's of getting close enough to kill but instead offering more protection.

Summary
AU in which demons are from the Nether, humans are from the overworld, and angels hail from the End. Elytras don't exist; only angels can fly.
But there are legends, tales of the very bravest of souls that have crossed the chasm between worlds, and come back with wings of their own, granted the power to be seen as an angel. Grian finds himself tempted, to find them for himself and no longer have to suffer the judgement of being a demon.
What he doesn't know, though - there are no wings that do not already belong to another. And though he may have found what he was searching for, he may come to regret his decision when the angel whose wings he unintentionally stole turns out to be his new neighbor.Series
