Summary
Starting out on Hermitcraft only knowing Mumbo was hard enough. But then there was also Doc. Doc, who was huge and intimidating already. Whose Creeperness set off Grians avian fight or flight instincts if he even looked in his direction. And who seemed to have a personal bone to pick with him courtesy of Grian being a Watcher.

Summary
The bath takes care of the sweat. Takes care of the burnt bits of skin and fat that still cling to his palm. Zuko scrubs his body until it’s raw, blushing red; he dunks his head under the hot water and stays there, staring up at the dark, vaulted ceiling of the washroom until his lungs run out of breath to use.
The oil of honeysuckle and opium and cinnamon, sweet and sharp and earthy, does not wash the stench of scorched flesh out of his nose.Zuko falls asleep on the evening of his official coronation, when he’s twenty-one-years old and has finally reached his majority. Zuko wakes on the morning of the Agni Kai with his father, eight years earlier.
This is annoying for several reasons, like the fact that the War is still ongoing, that he has zero friends, and that Ozai is not in jail.
It’s time to scheme.Series

The Sky Was Still, Honestly, Blue by Hypno_Cat for MatleenaMaddie
Fandoms: Hermitcraft SMP
29 Jan 2023
Tags
Summary
Mumbo stands in the beginning of the end of his creations, and he’s not numb to it so much as he’s useless, made to stand in place as he watches what he loves become history that may never be discovered again, and-
The fog creeps around him again.
“Really?” he demands the sky, and something sharp is eager to fill the hurt void in his chest. “Come on mate, honestly - at least give me something interesting to dream about! This is just- just- pants! Honestly, could you at least give me a night of, oh, I dunno, something more cheerful than a bloody funeral? Quite frankly, it’s getting boring.”
The fog closes in a little until the wisps of black tease along his arms. He faintly thinks he might wake up.
"I’m sorry,” a voice says suddenly, and Mumbo’s heart seizes. It’s not his, nor the hermits, or any voice he recognizes. “Unfortunately, I’m afraid we’re both outta luck here, fella.”
Mumbo blinks, dazed, glancing back and forth. The motion feels like freefall. There’s… nothing. No one, except...
“Pardon me,” Mumbo says faintly, “are you… the fog?”
Or: Mumbo's dreams are haunted by a mysterious shadow, and his days are haunted by a faulty jukebox.

don't let go by Gladumf for raffian, bluperiwinklemoon

25 Jun 2026

Summary
He pressed himself further back into the corner, a snarl coming to his lips. The eye creatures never reacted to his shouting, but they did hesitate when he growled. But when the lanky aliens came around the corner, they didn't so much as look at him. Instead, they were focused on what looked like a stretcher, the kind that ambulances used back on Earth.
Sitting atop it, perfectly still, was another human.
Scar felt his heart stop in his chest. It was impossible. There was no way there was another human on the ship. It had to be a trick of some kind, a robot made to look human, or a statue, or something. This was some sort of experiment, a test to see how he would react to seeing something that looked like his own species.
But they looked so lifelike.
-
or, abducted by a rogue group of alien scientists, Scar is nothing more than a test subject. After a year alone, he finally gets a friend. As the only two humans outside of the solar system, they have only each other to rely on. Alone, it was impossible to escape. But with Grian by his side, maybe, just maybe, they have a chance.
or or, grian and scar against the entire galaxy, trying to survive and make their way home.

Summary
Mumbo doesn’t say anything for a moment, and Grian doesn’t look at him - until a hand gently clasps over his shoulder. “Things do change,” he starts. “We’re both growing as people, Grian, and you’re dealing with memory loss and the things the Watchers have done with you. And it’s not always going to be easy.”
“Comforting,” he mutters, and the hand tightens ever so slightly - not painfully so, just added pressure.
“It doesn’t mean it’s going to change for the worse, mate.” Mumbo squeezes his shoulder once more, before letting go.
Or: Grian and Mumbo have finally been reunited after being torn apart - but they have a lot to learn after almost three years of being separated, and Grian has to figure out just where his place is among the Hermits.

Summary
“What’s your name?”
The kid frowns at him. Finally, slowly, he says, “Mumbo?”
That’s- that sounds- it can’t be- “Not Jumbolio?” Grian asks, straightening.
“No,” Mumbo says, and Grian sinks back, groaning.
“Aw, great,” he whines. “I’m just looking for someone who knows redstone, and I think I’ve got the kid, but instead it’s just you.”
----
Grian isn’t panicking.
There’s nothing to panic about, okay? He’s fine. He’s absolutely, totally, fine.
Sure, he- he might not know where he is, and he might not have his communicator, and he might be pretty certain that Pearl and Joel and Jimmy are going to think that he just left, that he chickened out, but-
He’s-
Fine.
----
Scar liked his gift.
Scar likes him.
Grian’s heart feels full, the two of them beside him, and he isn’t sure what to call it yet-
Other than safety. Other than that here, with them both, he feels like nothing in the world could ever get him.Or: Before, During, and After.

Summary
"He made his way inside, stepping over blankets and feathers and shulker boxes still waiting to be organised. He walked past the kitchen, where too few dishes sat in the sink. And when he stepped past the kitchen, he froze. His heart stopped.
There was his friend. Crumpled on the floor in the middle of the room.
He wasn’t moving."- The Boulder, ie the Entity, decides to use Grian's heart to keep itself alive. Shame a human heart can't handle it.

Summary
Scar Goodtimes just wants one thing: a perfectly normal, perfectly reasonable, completely safe permit to relocate two very small, very polite giraffes to his brand-new educational wildlife sanctuary.
Unfortunately, the Permit Office stands between him and his dreams.
More unfortunately, so does Grian—exhausted assistant manager, professional menace, and the single most beautiful human to ever deny Scar a form because he used the wrong pen.A story about bureaucracy, giraffes, municipal suffering, mild workplace misconduct, one very supportive security guard, and the world’s slowest descent into flirting through paperwork.

Summary
Mumbo drops his hands from the ceiling to cross his arms petulantly. “In fact, why isn’t Scar taking up this job?”
Scar is, indeed, sitting very daintily on a plush chair that Grian hadn’t seen him drag in. “Don’t let me bother you!” he says, giving them a wide wave. “Wouldn’t want to interrupt your learning!”
“I didn’t even want to be here,” Mumbo bemoans. “I’m not good at gardening, Grian, we both know it! I could be- I could be building a flying machine right now.”
He says that wistfully, and Grian takes one hand off of the dirt he’s pressing against the ground - ceiling - whatever, and sets it on Mumbo’s very white shirt. “Mumbo,” he says, with a gentle and caring tone. His friend looks up at him.
Mumbo’s dark eyes are practically voids in the dank man-made cavern, and dirt flecks have rubbed their ways onto his face like a smattering of stars.
“I’m only going to say this once,” Grian continues, and the shoulder underneath his hand relaxes. “Get good.”
Or: Grian has some grass issues. Mumbo and Scar try to help.

Broghini clears his throat. "Go, Max. We'll be here when you get back. And—" He coughs. "And be careful."

Summary
The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.
“I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”
With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.
This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.
“Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”
- or -
Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

Summary
The insurmountable sound of the roof caving in, the support beams failing, and the marble decorations shattering around him seemed to stop all at once. There was nothing but silence. Cold, abrupt, threatening silence.
As quickly as it had begun, the disaster simply ceased.
“Woah,” an unknown voice chimed, echoing through the rubble. A man smiled down at him, his expression bordering somewhere between surprised and amused. “You’ve caused quite a bit of chaos here, haven’t you?”
- or -
After accidentally wreaking havoc inside a temple in the woods, Grian finds himself indebted to a god he doesn't know, as well as a strange man who calls himself the temple's priest.

Summary
Impulse would be the first to tell you that paranormal investigation of any sort is a dangerous job. Sure, any job has its risks; mistakes have consequences wherever you work, whatever you do. It just so happens that the consequences associated with ghost hunting are slightly more…dire than for your average job.
Ghost hunting could turn out to be deadly. Not permanently, of course; instant revivals had made sure of that.
Still, returning from the dead…it wasn’t an easy task. Even with the assistance of instant revivals, it's rough. It has...effects, without fail.
Impulse has made it a point to teach every new teammate—Grian, Scar, Gem—that everyone reacts differently to deaths. And especially to being brought back. Impulse, as an example that he provided to the group, explained his own experiences with returning to life.
Recovering from the deaths was never easy, but they’ve always managed. Even when things don’t go quite as planned.
Or, five times the GIGGS crew deals with returning from the dead, and one time things go terribly, horribly wrong.

Nick had no idea that his con on the bunny cop would lead him down such a precarious path.
Judy’s ears drooped further and her nose twitched in genuine fear, reflecting the fox’s panic. The rabbit was too shocked to speak. Gone was the signature suave mask of Nick Wilde, and she hated seeing him like this. Judy hated seeing any animal like this. It wasn’t an act. There was no joke. This was real.
Scenes from the first film, reimagined with less plot armour for our favourite fox.

“Hey, if she tells you not to touch her, you don’t,” Green snapped. He twisted Bronze’s wrist a bit, just enough to twinge with pain.
Bronze grinned sharply, a touch of anger in his chiseled face, as he yanked his arm out of Green’s grip. “So the pretty boy's finally baring his teeth?” he said. “You want a fight?”
Green glanced back at Purple. “I love a good brawl as much as the next person, but is now really the time?”
Or, Purple and Green attempt to have a nice night out in the Outernet. It seems that they will never get that.
