Dead silence AU

Chapter 1

The beginning...

What the fuck am I doing you ask? Well got bored of he whole only writing EndKing!Steve AU thing so...to make my mind 10× more busy and filled with more bulshit, I wanted to start a new au, this is sort of similar to a zombie apocalypse but more sculk :) and yes my Oc aka Chain is also going to be taking part in this au

Also any character or any of your oc's canbe part of this au if you want, but if you do want your oc's to be part of this crossover au thing just ask me (:

Again this story contains 18+ gore, Angst (some of these things), and fluff (mostly because I'm sick and tired of just doing soo many angst stuff but gore will be almost in every chapter)

Again...this story has boy x boy and girl x girl! So if your not up to these standards, please ignore this story and head on with what your doing.

There's going to be fucking coordinates and other shit here so...good luck trying to figure that out

There's going to be lots of cursing in this book so again I'll be censoring it

                    《!Viewer Description is advised!》

So! Let's get right into this shall we?

Chain pov:

The world has changed, from the biome to the mobs, it all changed...this isn't the world I used to know...now...it's filled with death and lifeless corpses. The end has come to claim us...no...THEY had come...to claim US. Now it's here...these guys aren't just dumb shit, the infection learns it grows and evolves, it has our name...and it wants to add us back to the collective, I've survived more than I could have possibly imagined....but now that I've given you the run down, let's get down to business.

Chris worked in the facility where the other survivors stayed, good thing that the whole thing was sculk proof, or else we would have ended up more food for the upcoming hoard...Steve was there too, leading the defense group to cover up more of the surrounding land around the base, while me I was sent in a mission to look for a cure, as days went on but this day? This day was unlike any other.

My mission was over. I've finally found a cure to heal this lifeless land. It was too simple! And what I mean by simple is that I had to fight tirelessly day and night to fought off the hoard of sculk in my path just to get to a chest with a single purifier, it better than nothing I guess...I was inside a broken down facility, sort of similar to the base where the other survivors were staying in, I searched within cabinet after cabinet, shelf after shelf untill finding the ingredients on how to create the cure, it required very expensive materials found from underneath, but I can manage...wish someone, was here with me...it's really boring...really hope that the others are ok atleast...

《Back at base where the other survivors had stayed》

Chris pov:

It's been months since Chain hasn't come back...hope he's got the ingredients for the cure...and sure hope he's ok...

I was waiting impatiently for Chain to come to base having successfully retrieving the cure...I heard the door slide open, it was Steve. He was wearing a white t-shirt (it was Chris t-shirt btw soo..it's bigger than Steve :P)

Chris: is that my shirt?

Steve: idk...maybe?

Chris:...

I raised an eyebrow on him- (BOMBASTIC SIDE EYE XDDD)

Steve: ok- chill out big guy, it's your shirt now calm down jezz

He giggled as I stared on how big the shirt it was on him

Steve: what are you looking at Chris?

He asked as I turned my gaze away from him as my face was tainted red, I turned back my focus on what I was mainly doing, before he slowly started to walk closer to me (YES THERE OFFICIALLY A COUPLE IN THIS AU AND SO ARE THE REST, FUCK ME UP IF YOU DARE)

Steve: what'cha doing?

Chris: JEZZ- Dude! Dont- scare me like that for God's sake

Steve: scared of what? Of me? Gezz Chris I thought we were cool!~ (it's not what you think it is you fucks)

He says dramatically

Chris: alright alright, calm down drama queen, we're not in a movie right now

Steve: really Chris? Drama queen?

Chris: what? What else am I going to call you? Tiny boy~

Steve: Alright- that's it-

Before I could say a word I was immediately tackled down by Steve. What! Is it because I called him Tiny Boy?! Oh come on!

He tackled me down to the tiles of the floor. He is strong, sure, considering he's always outside fighting back the sculk, but I was indeed stronger than him that's for sure(and indeed taller so :P)

Steve: Hah! Whose the tiny boy no-

Before he could finish his sentence I floped both of us  over. Now I was on top and he was at the floor

Chris: your were saying?

I say as his face started to turn red

Steve:Chris- God- danm it!

I giggled at his reaction, then helped him stand up

Steve: so...any thing from Chain so far?...

Chris: not yet...really worried about him...it's been months since he hasn't given any signs

Steve: Alright...I'll be in Austins room if you need anything

He says as he left the room.

I waited impatiently(again) on the table fidgeting the pen on my hand, until I got a radio call from a random person from another facility...

Unknown person 1: Hello? Does his work? H-hello?

Chris: yes hello? Who is this?

Unknown person 1: oh! It works- hold on- is this the safety facility that we were informed about?

Chris: oh! Yes, yes this is the safety facility, please tell us your location, so we can get you out of there immediately

Unknown person 2: should we really trust those guys?

Unknown person 1: it's the only option we have for safety...

Unknown person 1: were at (censored) across the river

Chris:...I believe it would be a struggle to get you...and your location is pretty far from ours, considering that there's no rivers near this facility. But don't worry! We'll try send a rescue team right away

(I'm so shit at these things God fu_ing danm it)

Narrator pov:

Chris sent the rescue team to go search for the other survivors that called. But unfortunately all of the rescue team was killed by an entire hoard at the side of the river, it was close to Chains direction, hearing the beggings and painful screams of the rescue team, he wasn't going to take any risks from here. He backed off and ran to the opposite direction getting farther and farther from the safety facility, not knowing that he was far from base the sun began to set. He had to find a safe spot somewhere for the night, but luckily there was one close by. Another facility(danm there's a lot of these things holy sh-t) i snuck inside to see if anyone was there, when...

Crash!

End of chapter 1....

Ch.8 is out of Love Death + Grumbot!!

Grian panted, trying to catch his breath. His fingers shook as he attempted to reload the shotgun. “Hi there!” A voice made him jump. A stocky man was crossing the concrete towards them wearing a lab coat and holding a large flamethrower with a fuel tank on his back. He had curly, wool-like blonde hair with little horns curling from his forehead. “Just give me one moment, folks,” he skipped around the car, brandishing the flamethrower to squirt the sculker with fire. The creature screamed as the flame caught, front half writhing as it quickly burned. The man then turned towards them, pushing up his goggles with a leather-gloved hand to reveal keen, bright eyes. “Hi, I’m Zedaph. Or Zed for short. What brings you to my lab?”

They finally found Zedaph! And look at him, he's so silly goofy. Go read it here on ao3. This chapter has both mad scientist and zombie fight scene, what's not to love?

[hybbart]

So in the Apocalypse AU, Jimmy can fly since he’s an avian, but i think I remember that he just doesn’t do it too often. Does Tango have any abilities that us humans don’t have?

Jimmy can fly in theory, in practice he's a bit of a ground bird comapred to someone like Grian even before the apocalypse, and after his lung damage makes it very difficult. He'd fly more if he could.

Tango as a blazeborn has a very high internal temp, and he can set things on fire with his... well, fire. The high temp protects him from a lot of illnesses, he can't really get infected by sculk for example, it burns away. He also doesn't need as much water and can eat and drink things a bit more safely. And then, of course, fire doesn't really burn him (it can burn his clothes though).

The tradeoff is his body is awful at insulating itself so he doesn't handle winter well at all, and the temps his body increases to to fight off the cold can get a bit dangerous to others and burn himself out energywise. Water doesn't hurt him but it does suck the heat right out of him and he can end up turning it into steam that could hurt other people, so he has to be similarly careful.

He also has pretty good balance because of his tail and he's super light from his internal heat, kinda like the effect of a hot air balloon but lesser. Not enough to float but enough that he can be lifted pretty easy and is less likely to get hurt when he falls.

You Blew Me Into Stardust

Kristin laughed, the sound emerging too-loud in the half-empty bar. She hung her head in her hands. “Oh yeah,” she told the bar top. “I mean, the mechs—they were originally designed to battle sculk anyways, and it’s not like anything bad happened to the people who built them, so we’ll be good.” “Oh yeah, all those ancient cities still goin’ strong today.” Techno ran a finger around the top of his glass. “Civilization standin’ strong overall. Whole situation went so well, I don’t give us more than a 50% chance of someone dyin’. Maybe 40% if we’re lucky.” “Oh god.” Kristin emerged from her hands laughing, and pushed her hair out of her face. “No worries, it’ll go great to go back there. We’ll all do great. Happy about this, actually.” Ponk came over with the bottle and refilled her glass, and she nodded to them. “Thanks.” “And if only one of us dies—” Techno grinned at her, tired. “Then the other person just has to deal with it. And that’s easy. I’m doing great.” “I’m doing great,” Kristin echoed, a little choked up. She straightened fully and looked down at her drink, turning the stem of the glass between her fingers. “I miss him.” She cleared her throat. “I miss my husband, Techno. I miss him a lot.”

Sculk apocalypse au when

Au by me and @fallow-foot

[umbrify]

So @liloinkoink tagged me in a little game where I post about all my wips, so people can see them and ask questions about them. I realized that I uh. I have twenty different AU concepts (all made with my beloved friend @made-nondescript ), so I’m gonna pick a few:

Merfolk AU (fWhimmy): in which Jimmy, sheriff to a small coastal town, realizes there’s something— or, someone— living right near their shores. fWhimmy mer au where fWhip is the merperson, and they have to figure out how to make it work, despite… everything.

And… is he sure about this? Joel’s gonna laugh at him— Jimmy’s certain he is. He can’t even blame him, really. What a ridiculous thing to say: I found a rock at the rock beach and I think there was a guy in the water— yeah, right. But… it feels important. It feels important enough to try. He has to try.

“I think… I think I met someone in the ocean, two nights ago,” Jimmy murmurs.

This AU does have one posted work already— [We Will See Tomorrow], which is like a prologue of sorts!

Vamp AU (WRA siblings, future fWhimmy): One mistake is all it takes to change the course of your life forever, as fWhip and Gem find out the hard way. Roseblings become vampires the messy way, and find it quite hard to come to terms with.

“Well, hello there!” The man calls brightly, perhaps just a touch too loud for the occasion at hand. fWhip bites back a flinch at the sound.

“Uh— hi,” he calls back, “I take it you have what I’m looking for?”

The man chuckles slightly, an easy smile stretching across his scarred face, and fWhip raises an eyebrow. The man steps closer, positioning himself next to fWhip. “You’re after some really valuable stuff here, you know.” The man leans down slightly, looking into fWhip’s eyes. “You sure you’re willing to pay the price?”

(If he were more observant, perhaps fWhip would’ve noticed the way the man’s too-sharp teeth flashed in the sickly orange light— his first, and only, warning.)

This one has lots of art, which can be found under [#esmp vamp au]!

Space AU (fWhimmy— sorta): They’ve landed on this planet, and too late, they’ve realized they can’t leave it. How do you come to terms with the fact you’re definitely doomed? Jimmy and fWhip are co pilots of a spacecraft sent to check on a planet that sent out a strangled distress signal, and now they’ve got plenty of time to get acquainted before the end— if fWhip could stop making things worse, that is.

“Commander Jimmy, transmission regarding the emergency distress signal received from planet ANC-19.”

“This planet is lost, and so are we. Do not send a rescue mission. This planet is sick, it cannot be saved. I repeat, do not send anyone else here. They will die. There are no survivors. There is nothing of value left here.”

Snowpocalypse AU— or, hey what if Xornoth kidnapped Scott and used his ice powers to cause eternal winter? Wouldn’t that be fucked up? Scott’s absence is noticed very quickly by Gem, who drags fWhip and Jimmy to his house to check on him

“Oh—“ Gem turns the handle, the door swinging open slightly. “Scott! I’m coming in!!”

The lights are on as the step inside— fWhip knew they were, of course, but…

Well. He didn’t expect this.

The house is completely trashed— the coffee table is turned on its side, a mug of what might’ve been coffee or tea has shattered on the ground, the liquid partially stained into the rug. The pillows from the couch are strewn all around the room, and half the cabinets are thrown open, as if someone was looking for… something.

“…Scott?” fWhip calls, hesitantly.

Something is definitely wrong.

(More quick ones below the cut!)

fWhimmy Apocalypse AU (also featuring lots of fWhip & Pix): In which fWhip and Pix make the hardest trip of their lives to Jimmy’s house, with fWhip determined to see Jimmy again, against all odds. Apocalypse, but not in the zombie sense— think more like if sculk was a bit more fucked up. This one has all of its current writing posted [here!]

Superhero AU: You know the trope of “villain goes to superhero’s doorstep, super injured, and is like ‘I didn’t know where else to go’?” That, but it’s Jimmy going to fWhip, and fWhip is more of a vigilante than a hero, and Jimmy doesn’t necessarily… like… get redeemed. I remember this one had a long section in the notes about how Jimmy is a villain by choice, not because he was forced to be.

Antique shop AU: Nondescript and I went off for a While about this one, which created [this post]— basically, Pix runs an antique shop in a college town, and he hears about the lives of fWhip and Jimmy when they visit his shop

Android fWhip AU— or, hey what if the reason empires one fWhip survived the blast was because he wasn’t human at all, and nobody knew until Gem finds him in the wreckage? And then there’s the whole situation with— well, how do you just not notice that your brother is an android? This one had a whole scene where Gem takes a mangled fWhip over to Mezalea, as one of the last standing empires, and Joel tries to help them repair fWhip. I made [art] for this one, which is the only thing this AU has so far

There are a lot more, but I think that’ll do for now! I’d be happy to answer any questions about any of these, or any of my other writing :D !!

(As for tagging folks, I don’t wanna bother too many people, but if @blocksruinedme or @stitchthesewords wanna share any AU’s, go wild my friends!)

[waytoobsessed]

Apocalypse ocs and aus but they’re based on minecraft sculk

[thedo0zyslider]

Hermitcraft au idea: what if some sort of alien stuff from Pearl’s base spreads like sculk? And causes an apocalypse of sorts

[roenais]

you have a post apocalypse au 👁 I love apoc aus. it’s centered around sculk right? how does it work/spread etc?

i spent like 2 days trying to figure out how i could draw a response for this but i think it's going to have to be mostly words skfmkem SO--

it is indeed centred around sculk!

specifically it evolved from a headcanon that update features, like bastions, ancient cities, etc, already existed somewhere in the MC universe, but had to be toned down by the devs to be safe for players.

so from that came the thought: what if, through a mistake in the implementation of data packs, they allowed people to access ancient cities FAR too early?

obviously, the moment they're discovered players flock to exploring them. but because this is a version of sculk that hasn't been 'toned down' yet, it spreads even without mobs dying, and can take over living creatures in the same way it takes over blocks.

the devs try to shut down the spread by temporarily disabling travel between servers, but that only makes things worse for the people trapped on infected worlds.

& unfortunately, hermitcraft is one of the first servers to the party 😔

[wendycandycute]

WAIT- I JUST HEARD @chain-draws-stuff IS GOING TO QUIT TUMBLR?!

That can't be trun and plus he will still post EndKing! Steve AU and The Sculk Apocalypse AU

[chain-draws-stuff]

Hold on- Birth of a brain? Isn't that from the Sculk hoard mod? WAIT- IS THE AU CALLED SCULK APOCALYPSE AU?!

Good job on finding it out! Took you guys long enough but, now that you've guessed it I guess you can go dm me or just ask me about if you want your oc's to be part of the au :D

And- no I'm still not back, I still in this god forsaken car

[sunofaraven]

I made a playlist a year ago for Love Death + Grumbot by the way. And I finally made a second account to avoid doxing myself haha. So if you're curious about the vibes I've been listening to while I write, then here you go.

Just keep in mind that while some of the songs have lyrics that are plot/character related-ish, the majority is more about VIBES than anything else.

Go judge my music tastes, I guess? XD

[hybbart]

Ive been looking through your ranchers apocalypse au and ive been wondering some things:

1, is there a reason or cause for the apocalypse?

2, what are the relationship between jimmy, grian, pearl and lizzie in this au? (If lizzie is jimmy's sister and grian is jimmy's brother then does that make lizzie and grian also siblings?)

(also sorry if my questions are a bit confusing)(also also im also here to say that i absolutely love your ranches apocalypse au)

I believe I answered these in the FAQ or other notes, but a quick recap is that:

1) it's a zombie apocalypse that started in the way zombie apocalypse tend to- by infecting and spreading really quickly. It also caused a secondary sculk fungus to be released upon the world and has nearly caused humanity's extinction.

2) Lizzie is Jimmy's socially adopted sister, while Grian is Jimmy's by-blood older brother. The two know each other exist but haven't met much. Pearl is unrelated to any of them, as I felt like Jimmy having so many friends and family survive the apocalypse and also find him was a bit much. Most people in this AU have never met each other before the apocalypse.

[hybbart]

could you remove the skulk through the use of moss? or some sort of agent? could Grian also help himself through wearing a glowstone cape or something?

The tl;dr is that there's no currently known way to deal with it better than they already are, and the story is unlikely to go on long enough for one to appear.

Jimmy and Tango managed to remove most of the (visible) sculk from Revy, it just involves a LOT of scraping and digging and general unpleasantness, and with it specifically in his wing it could potentially mess his wing up.

The problem is, like with bread, if its visible on the surface its already deep rooted, and its a fungus that only spread after the apocalypse started. So if there is a cure it hasn't been discovered yet. Not that they (Scar especially) aren't trying.

As for something like a glowstone cape, I'm not sure if there is glowstone in this au or not. For the most part, besides some biotech advancements and divergences, the setting is rather contemporary and realistic and I haven't thought much about if theres anywhere like the nether.
