My first time signing up for the MCYT Excursive Exchange and I'm very excited! All of these stories are great and I'd love to read some more in those worlds, I hope you have fun playing in them :D

General likes: strong friendships, intimacy, complicated relationships, relationships forged under pressure, loyalty, sacrifice & betrayal themes, difficult choices, emotional h/c, canon-divergence AUs, time travel and time loops, competent characters, adventures, hugs, exploration of game mechanics...
I'm fine with all POVs (i.e., first, second, third), tenses, ratings, unusual formats, etc.

DNWs: explicit on-screen abuse or torture, character bashing, stories with a hopeless ending, self-harm for mental health reasons, AUs that change the setting (canon-divergence is fine), appearances by non-Hermit MCYTers, RL references (e.g. Katy Bee and Mr Finnegan)

I would love something about Cleo and Etho's relationship, it's so good.
Some prompt ideas:
- Them meeting/getting to know each other at the start of their forced partnership while both still grieving Bdubs
- Or: what if Bdubs didn't die, but CASTLE came back from his mission to find out his best friend had been caught while looking for him and turned into GORGON?
- Etho figuring out how to give Cleo the ability to kill their pilots and deciding not to share while still their partner
- Etho's reassignment: them finding out, their last flight together, ghostsync awkwardness
- What if Cleo had asked Etho to run away together, either while still partnered or after?
- What if Bdubs isn't really dead. What if he's still out there, drifting, and then one day Etho gets a ping through the old ghost sync, and maybe Etho and GORGON together can try to track the signal…

Such delicious h/c, and I love the relationship between Grian, Scar, and Cub especially. I would love some more of that, especially post-canon.
- Fluff: they deserve it
- More angst / h/c (nightmares?) – but please with a happy ending!
- Grian and Cub finally having a long overdue conversation
- More adventures, this time with all three of them from the beginning. Or as a contrast, Scar and Cub getting into shenanigans and this time dragging Grian into it would also be very fun.

I love the relationships between Grian and Scar and Cub, I love how not normal about each other they are, I would love some more of that.
Some prompt ideas:
- Grian only wanted Cub if he was willing, but Cub was only willing because he saw no other choice. Did Grian realize Cub didn't expect to be brought back as himself? I'd love some of Grian's PoV after Cub agreed.
- What if Cub had been nearby when Grian first summoned Scar and managed to convince Grian to break the bond immediately, but afterwards Scar still wanted it and tried to convince the other two?
- Cub told Grian he had to learn how to control the vex powers he got via Scar. What did the training look like? Who did they practice with/on?
- How much does Mumbo notice about what is going on with his friends, and when, and how does he react? (Or other Hermits?)
