The stars seemed to mock him. What a pathetic little creature he was, to be sad in such a beautiful world as this.

Finally finished my fic for @hermitgang-ao3!

And another chapter is out! And can I just say how much I love writing Hermit banter? Especially when Bdubs is one of those people. He's so fun to annoy (affectionate)!

I'm gon' give it to ya - Chapter 4

4. Time to Go

Fandom/Collection: Hermitcraft/@hermitgang-ao3

Summary: Another Hermit finds themselves trapped in the Deeper Dark. Meanwhile, Cleo and Etho recruit yet another Hermit to help them in their investigations.

Preview:

The winding path through the Deeper Dark from the wool hut to the spawn cave was becoming increasingly familiar to Impulse as he made the daily trek through the sculk-covered caves with Cub, redstone torch in hand. Even with seven Hermits transported across by now, they'd somehow lucked out on anyone having proper torches on them when they arrived.

The tunnel they'd been traversing suddenly opened up, the ground flat and level at their feet. The spawn cave was still an incredible sight, no matter how many times he made the journey. The way the light just disappeared as the walls curved towards an unseen ceiling. Towering stalagmites of sculk reached towards the sky, covered with the familiar dots of sensors and catalysts and shriekers, their very presence a threat to the Hermits' continued existence.

Cub gave the sign, and the two of them split up.

Cub got to work punching out the sculk, continuing to flatten the path between the spawning zone and the exit, removing any dips or trip hazards that could hinder a speedy escape. Each block break was followed by a pause, listening carefully for any signs the two of them would need to use that speedy escape themselves.

Impulse's job was a little more treacherous.

Limited supply of wool blocks in hand, Impulse snuck towards one of the stalagmites yet to be cleared and pillared up towards one of the sculk sensors, waving its tendrils in an imaginary breeze. Its corners had been gnawed at by skulk rats, though thankfully the dang creatures had learned by now that the spawn cavern wasn't a great place for them to lurk undisturbed.

Four wool blocks were carefully placed, and the sensor punched to oblivion, leaving behind only a couple of experience orbs. They were quickly absorbed into the surrounding sculk before Impulse had the chance to collect them. Not that it would have made a difference, with the way this dimension siphoned off any levels the Hermits did manage to collect.

He paused for a second, checking neither the block breaking nor the tinkle of experience set off of the other sensors. A couple seconds of silence later, he punched down the wool protection and made his way over to the next catalyst to repeat the process.

"Impulse!" The whisper echoed through the silent cavern. Impulse tensed, listening for the sound of any sensor activations. Thankfully there were none; they'd managed to clear out a lot over the last few days.

He turned around. Cub held up his clock and three fingers. Three minutes remaining. He set to work climbing back down again, carefully punching and collecting all the wool he'd used as scaffolding along the way.

hey all, posted my @hermitgang-ao3 fic!

Summary:

Now, don’t get him wrong, Grian loves to push the line. One of his favorite pastimes is to tease his fellow Hermits, see how far he can get them to bend and how many rules he can skirt around before trouble comes. And usually, Scar’s a pretty good sport about it, because Scar loves pushing right back. The two of them can usually craft an entertaining game of lies and bargains between them, which is probably why Scar’s one of his best friends.

This is different, though, and Grian’s not sure why, but it’s no longer a game to Scar. That makes him falter, which makes the donkey do the same, trotting forward a few steps before halting.

“Scar?” he asks, just checking in, and Scar doesn’t respond. That’s worrisome—Grian hops down from the saddle, pulls Stu back to Scar. “Are you all right?” ~ Or, 5 times Scar acts weird when it comes to his pets, and the 1 time everyone finds out why.

Feel free to check it out and lmk what you think!

Hi! Out of curiosity do you have any idea when the series is going to be out? I know there was a soft deadline for this month (september)

well given that we only have 28 out of 80-something submissions in, it's gonna be a bit

[hermitgang-ao3]

And another chapter in my seasonless mystery fic. First look through Gem's eyes, and more Cleo & Etho content. Those last two need to collab more. They're just so good together!

I'm gon' give it to ya - Chapter 3

3. Schemes and Strategies

Fandom/Collection: Hermitcraft/@hermitgang-ao3

Words: 1552 (5283 total so far)

Summary: Gem creates another gift. Meanwhile, Etho and Cleo pool their knowledge to come up with a plan to find their best friends.

Preview under the cut:

Gem hummed idly to herself as she walked up the spiral staircase to the top of the tower. She really had done a great job with the texturing, the mixture of stone bricks between the sparsely placed torches making the space feel all cramped and foreboding. Exactly the feel one would want around an item of such immense power as the enchanter.

Not that this was any old enchanting table. Oh no, this enchanter had been provided to her specially by her new patron. Oh, the power she could wield, the magics she could shape! And that only she could shape. He'd recognised the magic in her that not even she'd known existed.

She rounded the top of the stairs, the circle of bookshelves peeking into view. To one side sat Ren, leaning against the edge of one of the bookcases as the chains that bound his hands snaked up the wall beside him. And of course, in the centre, the enchanter, pulsing green and yellow amidst a swirl of runes of unfathomable power, resonating with the levels that vibrated around inside of her.

She threw a carrot at Ren, rousing him as it bounced off his chest. "Cleo's getting suspicious of me. She was poking around my shop earlier, asking questions about the enchantments."

"Oh really?" said Ren, picking it up and taking a bite. "That's fantastic! She might be able to get us out of- Disappointing news, magic one. You have become careless in your work."

"I'm trying my best! It was always gonna be harder to convince the Hermits after the more gullible ones were gone."

"Well see to it this mistake is rectified as soon as possible. We cannot be discovered before our plan is completed."

Summary: Joe reaches out to Cleo to help remove the cursed shirt he'd gotten from Gem. Failing in the attempt, the pair decide to confront Gem the next day about it. But, well, the best laid plans…

[hermitgang-ao3]

Yay my piece for @hermitgang-ao3 is done!! (It’s very predictable though)

False and Ren tour old Hermitcraft worlds and play minigames. Just for the fun of it.

This is based after the stream Ren and False did for Hermitcraft's 10th anniversary in April 2022, in which they toured Seasons 4-6.

[hermitgang-ao3]

Finished my fic for the @hermitgang-ao3 collab! An SCP crossover, set in the wake of SCP-001 When Day Breaks, a slightly different style to usual but I'm still real proud of it. I hope you enjoy!

[hermitgang-ao3]

My piece for the Hermitgang-ao3 event! I hope y'all enjoy!

[hermitgang-ao3]

Hey hey. Been a while since I posted any fic. That's because I've been doing an absolute tonne of writing lately and have a whole lotta chapters lined up for you for a new fic for the @hermitgang-ao3 event!

Aim is currently to release two chapters/week until either I finish or run out of ready content (aim is for the former).

I'm gon' give it to ya

1. Prologue

Fandom: Hermitcraft

Words: 1669

Summary: The Hermits are disappearing. Might this have something to do with Gem's new clothing store and the free samples she's been giving away? Nah, surely not. Who would expect that from sweet, smiley Gem?

Preview under the cut:

Repeater, dust, hopper, piston. Repeater, dust, hopper, piston. Repeater, dust, hopper, piston. Repeater, dust... ah dang it, out of hoppers.

Impulse stood up, stretching his arms above his head as he worked out the cricks in his back that had formed from hours of redstoning. The farm was coming together nicely, which made sense, given how much planning had gone into its construction. But it was still always satisfying to see the theory translating into practice.

Hmm, he'd still need at least another stack of hoppers to complete the farm. Surely he could just nip around to Tango's base to pick up a few stacks of iron blocks. He'd be cool with it, or at the very least, Tango was used to some friendly "resource sharing" by now.

Come to think of it, Impulse hadn't seen Tango for a few days now. Not that that was unusual for him, given his friend's tendency to get lost in a project. Maybe he should drop in on Tango once the build was finished? Hmm, he should probably AFK at Tango's iron farm first, just in case any awkward questions came up...

"Hi Impulse!"

Impulse jumped as Gem appeared behind him.

"Oh, hey Gem!" said Impulse, smiling back at his fellow Hermit. "How's it going?"

"I'm going great! In fact, I'm just about to open a new shop. Wanna come see?"

"Of course!" Impulse quickly dumped his remaining inventory into a shulker box – he may as well give himself space to restock – and grabbed out his rockets.

"Follow me," said Gem, flying off in a puff of smoke. Impulse followed close behind.

The Void is alive. He is quiet, and empty, and endless.
