Summary
Xisuma is slowly unraveling under the pressure of keeping up with these strange server glitches, on top of making sure all of his friends and servermates have the help and support that they need. He's been holding up well; trying not to lean too hard on those who are still recovering, and maybe putting a bit more effort into tracing the deeper cause of half of their problems. Because there is a deeper issue, even if he hasn't exactly shared it with the Hermits yet.
Hypno's "blue creeper" moment blindsided more than just the man himself. Xisuma's lost track of how many minecarts he'd been juggling, but this may just have put him over the entity cramming limit.
Inspired by mayflowers07 "I Can Be The One You Call" series, takes place after "The Heaviness That I Hold"

Summary
“If any of you have seen Xisuma walking around the Cowmercial district this whole day, that has been me pretending to be him. After hearing what all of you had to say about me, I figured it was worth a try to try and plead my case for being whitelisted.”
Plenty was said that day, about one brother, to another. Except very few realized at the time that they had mistaken which brother they were speaking with. And the revelation is quickly forgotten after long-held secrets are divulged, hurts are expunged, and a new Hermit is added.
Only the newest Hermit asks, what he had missed, and why his brother has ostracized himself.Xisuma gets his apologies from the Hermits.
Too bad he thinks they’re apologizing for something else.An AU story from "I Can Be the One You Call" by mayflowers07

Life goes on, and they may have already forgotten him.Series

Summary
This is what the Hermits find.
A perfectly made bed, unslept in.
A pile of wool in the corner, shaped by armour never removed.
A handful of poppies, symbols of sacrifice and death.
A handwritten note, parts washed away and unreadable.
A quiet base, farms stocked and shut down, everything in it's designated place, like the end of a season.
A shulker, stocked with guides to creating new worlds, pre-generating terrain, lists of mods and tools that they've acquired over the years.
A pervasive feeling of loss, for the owner of all the above, who seems to have left it all behind.A missing servermate, still online, but silent, long afk, unfindable.
His silent pleas for help have only just been found, and no one knows how long ago they have been left.
Who can answer the call not asked? Who can find the one convinced that his call doesn't deserve to be answered?Series
