Aww...the worst part is, there's no real way to hide that kind of thing, is there? They're stiff and far too big to conceal with a hat or her hair... she's not ashamed of being a hybrid, but on days when the gap between her and other people gets a little too painful and a little too there, she wishes there was something she could do to just look like everyone else for the day :'(

They start by making the doors wider. Some do it subtlety, (“oh, I just thought a large archway would look better instead.) some… do not, (“Pearl, did you remove your entire front wall?” “The door was too confusing for people.”) but by the end of the week everyone has doors big enough for Gem to comfortably walk through. (And if those with wings don’t have to tuck them in as much, well, that’s just an added bonus)

The other hybrids take her out for a day, showing her how much fun they can have with their extra features. Grian and Pearl take her flying, doing tricks and turns with far more flexibility than an elytra ever could. Jevin shows her how he sneaks into peoples bases for pranks, splitting into multiple tiny versions of himself, before promptly having to run from the hermits who have just figured out who’s been pranking them. Tango starts to show off his blaze powers, before being very quickly reminded by everyone that they’re in a forest.

They spend the whole day like that, and Gem has a huge grin on her face the entire time. She eventually lets some of them play ring toss with her, and if she deliberately sabotages some throws? That’s all part of the fun! Cleo weaves flowers and glow berries between them and into her hair, making her light up with colours across the spectrum.

None of these are actually meant to be hateful, if any of these have truely offensive meanings (such as the r word) that I was unaware of, please tell me so I can remove it! Tried to avoid cursing, but it contains some!

Its always fun going back to the place that do install new vents, he always feels giddy when he can, infact, still fit into the the vent.

Anyways.

I just really like to think that sometimes, when he's has his boredest, he'd go to Peter's college and just going into the vents to watch him learn. Its boring. But its also not because sometimes Peter would look over to him and mouth a question that Clint could probably answer.

Peter can't see him, but he can hear him.

Clint can't hear him, but he can lip read, he is deaf, afterall.

Sometimes i like to imagine that the college professor is just so tired of seeing Peter look up towards a vent so he just goes:

"Mr. Parker. Unless there is someone in the vent you're talking to, which i don't think there is, i would kindly appreciate it if you faced forward and listened to my lecture-" or something along those lines.

And then Clint just kicks the vent down- narrowly missing where Peter is sitting -then drops down next to Peter so they can continue their conversation face to face.
