Hi there! Thanks for the request! I had a bit of inspiration strike, so I hope you enjoy! The anon's talking about this fic!

Regrets Are Sweet (But My Heart is Stronger)

c!Grian x gn!Reader (one-sided)

Summary: You’ve moved on, but he doesn’t know.

Notes: Angsty, unrequited love (but reversed this time :3), could be read as mild yandere. The server that the reader has moved to is left up to you, pick your favorite! 

This place is peaceful. You’ve carved out a nice little life for yourself on this server, made new friends and found a place for yourself among them. Here, you can walk around without seeing his builds, talk to people without hearing his voice, and live without a remnant of him in your mind. It’s been months since he’s crossed your thoughts.

“Thanks for the help!” You wave as the others strap on their elytras, waving back and blasting off with rockets to return to their homes. Turning, you smile. Your newest build stands proudly near your house, and despite the vast number of cows held inside, only a fraction of their “moo”s can be heard from where you are. The barn started as a personal project, but when your friends saw the skeleton of a build, they insisted on pitching in- and it’s all the better for it.

Sighing contentedly, you began to make your way back to the entrance of your home, stopping short when there’s a buzz on your communicator. Pulling it out of your pack, your eyes widen when you see the message in the general chat.

<Grian has joined the game.>

Why was he here? You stayed in place, frozen for a moment, unable to peel your attention from the message. Greetings came from your servermates, a couple questioning who he was, and he responded happily, unaware of your predicament.

Soon, another message came through:

<Grian whispered to you: Y/N! Where are you?>

It took a moment to register. Thinking for a heartbeat, you tapped out a response.

<You whispered to Grian: Don’t come to me. I’ll meet you at spawn.>

His next message was an enthusiastic acknowledgement. Stiffly, you packed a few essentials for traveling anywhere away from home, delaying as long as you thought was reasonable before setting out. Why had Grian come after you after so long, and after you left so abruptly?

When you landed at spawn, Grian was pacing at the top of a nearby hill. Upon seeing you, he grinned.

“Y/N! There you are!” He rushed forward, wings spread so he could make large leaps to clear the distance between you. Before he could hug you, though, you stepped to the side, and he pouted dramatically. “Is that any way to treat your ticket home?”

You stayed still, only tilting your head slightly. “What do you mean?”

He holds out a hand. “You can come home! Don’t you want to come back to Hermitcraft with me?”

“I am home.” Your expression remained blank. “I have friends here- family, even. You were the only one I was close to there, and that tie was severed long ago.”

Grian frowns slightly, gesturing pleadingly as he spoke. “Y/N, that tie isn’t severed. Look, I’m here! I want you to come home- I care a lot about you!”

Shaking your head, you stared at him. “I already told you. I’m staying here. I’m happy here, without you.”

“But I’m not!” He was speaking far too loudly, almost shouting in his earnestness. “Y/N, I love you!”

“You shattered my heart.” There was a chill to your voice that had never been directed at Grian before, and he stepped back. “There’s no room left there for you. I am happier and stronger without you.”

Turning, you began to leave.

“Y/N, wait!” He called out behind you. You heard the flutter of wings as he rushed forward, and you turned for a moment to glare at him. Grian shrunk back, but didn’t back down. “I’ve searched every server to find you. Please! Just give me a chance?”

You laughed. “You had every chance. You chose Mumbo and Scar, remember? I’m sure they’re waiting for you at home. Just leave, Grian.”

His head dropped, and he looked so sad you almost pitied him. “They’re… We’re not together anymore. They were never my first choice. It was always you, Y/N.”

It tore at your heart, the way your former friend looked back up at you. Grian reached out a hand again, tears plainly welling in his eyes. “Please, Y/N. I need you.”

And yet you set me to the side, every time. The words echoed in your brain, though you couldn’t bring yourself to say them out loud. “I’m not leaving my home. Goodbye, Grian.”

Turning once again, you didn’t hear any further pleads he may have made. Pulling out your communicator, you tabbed over to the map and began to return home.

GIMME SUGAR!

۫  ּ   ִֶָ  ࣪✦ PAIRING \ C!Grian x GN!Reader, C!Xisumavoid x GN!Reader

۫  ּ   ִֶָ  ࣪✦ SYNOPSIS \ How a few of our favorite block men would make your Valentine’s Day special.

۫  ּ   ִֶָ  ࣪✦ WARNINGS \ N/A

۫  ּ   ִֶָ  ࣪✦ A/N \ I know, I know- I’ve been MIA for a while. However! I have cooked up something short, sweet, and extra fluffy for Valentine’s day, so I hope you all enjoy this rare treat! (I may or may not be dying, but it’s fine :])

GRIAN

Grian doesn’t do anything in half measures, and Valentine’s Day is no exception.

Dresses up so fancy for you.

I’m talking button-up shirt with the cashmere vest, heart-shaped glasses, and the shiniest accessories a pesky bird can get his hands on.

First thing in the morning, he’s knocking on your door- or, if that doesn’t work, your bedroom window- with a basket full of your favorite treats and his very biggest smile :)

It doesn’t matter if you’re a morning person or not, he is determined to spend as much time with you as physically possible; what else would he be doing? Finishing his base, like a loser?

Think: Grian bundling you tight to his chest as he takes you on a sunset flight, weaving through the sky just to laugh at you when you shriek, and feel his heart beat harder in his chest when you smile at him in that half-exasperated half-fond way.

Think: Grian doing anything to earn a smile, from reciting the cheesiest pick-up lines he can think of to blasting your favorite music and singing along with you.

Think: Grian dropping you off at your base, only for you to pull him into a long, slow kiss. When the two of you part, he’s bright red and grinning like an idiot.

He’s your idiot, though, and don’t you forget it.

XISUMAVOID

As the server admin, Xisuma is very busy, but he always makes time for you.

He picks you up from your latest project at dusk, his armor polished and elytra gleaming in the waking starlight; every inch a knight straight from the pages of a fairy-tale.

Xisuma greets you like one, too, pressing a featherlight kiss to your palm before he sweeps you away with a flicker of code.

Valentine’s Day is a moment where everything pauses, for the both of you. There are no obligations, no worries, nothing beyond the two of you.

Together.

Think: Xisuma tangling his legs with yours under the dinner table, attentive even though you’ve been talking for thirty minutes, and the food he’d prepared for you long gone.

Think: Xisuma allowing you to play with his hair as you make your way through a rom-com marathon, dryly critiquing the plots and characters until you’re a giggly mess.

Think: Xisuma watching you slowly fall asleep in his arms, still as a statue even though his legs have fallen asleep and you’re drooling a little bit onto his shirt.

He’ll take his time, if it’s for you.

Can I request a Yandere!Impulse x Reader fic? preferably male reader but idm if not. In terms of plot, can you write something where he stalks the reader + takes pictures of them, and the reader ends up finding his 'collection' of photos. If not then just general yan hcs or smth is fine! Ty - 🌠 (Stargazer Anon)

First of all, thank you for being my first request, stargaze anon :]

Notes: I'm gonna pretend I'm confident in writing this. It's probably gonna be ooc and for that I am very sorry 😭

Already letting you guys know I am new to Tumblr and also sorry if there are any errors.

Yes, "chat" are viewers, this is C! and not CC! I don't do yandere content creators. Minecraft is real in this, please understand my logic here.

I meant for it to be male reader, I swear, but since I was sleepy at the time I wrote, it ended up being in a headcannon type of way, which means almost no dialogue so the gender is not mentioned. I also write in second person a lot so there's also that.

TWs: Yandere, probably ooc Impulse, stalking, kidnapping and someone taking pics of you.

C! Yandere ImpulseSV x Reader

What fear of rejection can cause

The first time Impulse caught a glimpse of you was during 3rd life.

His first feeling towards you was confusion. You were collecting wood at a random forest just by the time he was passing by it, some people would call it fate.

You were talking to your chat, small creatures that resembled allays, each of them with different personalities and distinguishing features. It took him a few seconds to remember who you were, he had never seen you before, having found out about you through Grian when he told everyone he had invited an old friend of his to the 3rd life server. Looking briefly over your features which matched with the ones his avian friend mentioned was all it took for him to shrug it off, not yet deeming you an enemy.

As expected from him, he went to chat with you, introduce himself and link a face to a name. Your chat seemed pleasantly surprised with his sudden appearance, excitedly chirping while spinning around your head and his, their little sounds unintelligible to his ears even though you could hear them yell his name very clearly. Impulse caught on to what they were doing quickly, having already gone through the same situation many times with other people. He smiled at the small beings and waved.

The first conversation of you guys was okay, awkward, if you were to describe it as anything else. After that the both of you just decided to keep to yourselves, having mutual allies and friends who kept you two together, sometimes saying "hi" when you crossed paths. Nothing else was going on between you other than that.

Impulse was curious, something about you just wouldn't let him be in peace.

Sure, you guys didn't quite click when you first met, but there had to be something about you, right? Grian was friends with you for years, the others, your newfound friends, seemed to nearly mirror Grian's bond with you despite having just met you, despite not knowing you as long as he did.

Impulse should have been guilty, it couldn't have been right to follow you around like that, in secret even. But to be fair, he was guilty at the start. He even gave up following you the first time he decided to do so, but the second time… The second time he figured he had a reasonable excuse. He wanted to know more about you so that the awkwardness wouldn't happen the next time he tried to befriend you! So that you guys would click like you did with the others, you eventually would.

Hesitation kept him from even approaching you, he got used to just seeing you interact with the world and the others around you from an outsider's point of view and imagining himself going through such situations with you according to that. He didn't want to ruin the fantasy or his chance at befriending you, he knew you were a kind person, but one could only ruin so many chances, so for now, he would stick to learning more about you.

At first, this was all there was to it, curiosity, then, you started seeming like such a good friend! Perhaps your kindness was what charmed him even more, treating his friends kindly brought you some extra points in his book, the one you knew nothing about.

Kindness could only get you so far, you had come across Etho as he was messing with redstone, the redstone Impulse recognized as the bunch he had brought to him. You seemed very interested in the ore, asking a lot of questions, questions Impulse himself could have answered to you had you just directed them to him, him and not Etho. Still, a victory was a victory. The still hidden man quietly cheered behind some random bush as you two spoke, too engrossed in the matter to notice a grown man almost jumping around in giddiness as he found out a new thing you two had in common. Something that could possibly bring you two together!

All good things must come to an end. It was hard seeing you reach your red life and die before him and not even be able to help you, the only thing he was able to do was avenging you, bringing your killers down. Still, it was all fun and games between friends, that was, before he noticed that was it. You weren't a hermit, you were on this series because of Grian but Xisuma was the admin of the Hermitcraft server, the things there were different and Grian could only do so much considering Xisuma didn't have the least of clues about who you were.

When that dawned on him, all hell broke loose, you guys weren't close enough to keep contact and neither was it normal for him to just ask his friends what server you were at currently or for your communicator ID. As much as he could do so, he also just couldn't, or at least that's what his brain told him. Was this what fear of rejection felt like?

He brainstormed a plan right off the bat. He had to convince Xisuma to white list you. And the most natural way for doing so was to bring your mutual friends to convince him. All members from 3rd life, that was enough to bring you back to his reach, where he could learn about you, much to his delight. Keeping you at arm's length was just way safer than letting you wander around servers he didn't trust or know.

At this point, he couldn't quite deny anymore that something was wrong. Despite trying over and over to think about it from all perspectives, the way things were going was alarming, at this point even you could feel something was wrong. Feeling eyes on you even while you were inside your base, in a peaceful server like Hermitcraft, it couldn't have been normal.

The pile of excuses became bigger as Impulse's pupils dilated in pure affection, snapping the picture of a perfect moment, the very first one of many to come, a soft smile blossomed at his face along with redness following from his cheeks to the tip of his ears as you brought your first pet home, smiling from ear to your beloved animal's form despite whatever it was. He wished he could have had that memory with you, that was the excuse, not only was it a one time thing but it was also important to him, the photo would work as a memory of you together. Despite him not actually being there, he decided to delude himself to believe it was like he was there anyway, taking a selfie with you as if you were aware of his presence.

Only, it wasn't a one time thing.

He had a whole collection.

It was only right, right? It's not like you can only have one single memory and call it done. Memories are supposed to be kept in group, it's a prettier word when said in plural! That's actually something you said once, he wrote it down in his little notebook of you.

That's what he would have told you to defend himself when you first saw his special 'collection of memories'.

You stared at the many pictures of you in the chest. It was a double chest full. of. pictures. of. you.

You rested your face against the palm of your hands, releasing the wooden lid which closed with a soft thud. You didn't mean to find this chest, you didn't even remember what you had come here for in the first place. The first question that went through your mind was how on earth did he have the time to take all of those pictures, like, what. Then, the other questions flooded in, your mind felt like it was imploding, how were you even supposed to approach this matter with him? You weren't even close, acquaintances at best!

You looked up again for a moment, the lid of the chest had a faint engraving, one you didn't even notice when you came looking around for- Whatever you came here looking for, was it redstone? You were partially sure Mumbo had told you earlier Impulse would have loads of it and not have any problem with trading it with you for something else. That's what you wandered here for, you just wanted to grab the redstone and leave a note and some diamonds, this turned dark pretty quick.

"My favorites <3" Read the engraving, a little heart crudely drawn at the end of the sentence. That explained why every single one of the photos seemed to have little hearts drawn all over them. You confirmed your theories as you opened the lid again with shaking hands, hearts of varying shapes, sizes and colors on each picture. With a scowl, you scrunched up your nose as you noticed something.

"Bro didn't even get my best angle"

The sound of a wooden door opening made you panic, silently but quickly closing the chest you were looking at and opening the one right by the side of it, almost sighing in relief as you saw it was full of ores and redstone, exactly what you had come here looking for.

The person seemed to pause at the door for a solid second before speaking. "[Name]? Hey- What are you doing here?" Hearing the familiar voice and looking behind you confirmed your suspicions of the person in question being Impulse himself, you catched him glancing at the chest right by your side as you turned around, his nervous smile dropping as he frowned, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before speaking slowly. "How much did you see?"

You ran your hand through your hair, messing it up. "This chest," You pointed to the one you had just pretended you never opened while confessing you did. You didn't even know why you were the one confessing when you were supposed the one to be asking the questions here, then again this was the type of situation you never expected to be a part of, imagine being the victim! "Why- When did this even start?-" You barked questions at him as you moved to stand up. "This is creppy man! This is not okay."

"I'll explain everything, it's not like there's a lot to explain anyway… Just sit there, somewhere, make yourself comfortable."

With a bad feeling in your gut you moved to look for a place to sit, just now noticing how big of a place this was. It's impossible for Impulse to be able to function and have the time to not only stalk you but also build such things, this base seemed like one of his biggest he had ever done, even if more hidden than normally.

You turned around for a moment, the shock distracting you mind for just enough time to feel a sudden pain at the back of your head and black out, almost hitting the floor before Impulse caught you and sat you down at a couch, the softest one in there and his personal favorite.

He sighed in relief, calmly walking a few steps back and dropping his axe back in his inventory, as if he had not just hit you with it's handle. He stoped close to the door, pressing a button that made his redstone circuit work, successfully locking the only entrance to his house, and the only exit, too.

Good thing he thought ahead and hid his actual favorite photos well, well enough so you didn't see them yet, he would show them to you later, sure, but right now it wouldn't be a good start to your new relationship. He hoped you would be quick to accept this new "arrangement". It's not like he's letting you go soon, anyway.

No, no. Not really. Now he has all the time in the world to get closer to you, he made sure to fill this new house of the both of you with all sort of things he knew you liked. Now he has all the chances in the world to befriend you without awkwardness, eventually it's gonna be impossible to feel awkward with him when he's the only one you have to talk to, right?

Maybe meeting him at the forest really was fate, probably a warning, one you disregarded.

Can I request a dsmp!reader and Grian fluff drabble? If not please just ignore this :]

-🧚🏽

*Crawls out of my rat cave* *places on the floor* *skitters back into my rat cave for 2-5 business days*

(Ps. this can be interpreted as either platonic or romantic)

--------------------

This was a great place to be. Hermitcraft. Less than wholesome things still happened, but the hermits always- always left with their bonds being the same, or even stronger. It was your happily ever after. So different to the Dream Smp, so different to your past. You had good friends here, ones you could entrust your life with. The types of friends who you never had to doubt rather or not they had your back.

"Hello- you doing anything important right now?"

Grian. You didn't have to face him to recognize his greeting. In many ways, you were identical. His past was similarly not the happiest tale. And yet, he still had people there through the dark times. And in the end he ended up here, surrounded by comfort and the surefire feeling of family. Maybe that's why he instantly glued himself to your side when you first got here. Shaking like a leaf at anything and everything. Even now you were still inseparable.

"Nope, even if I was I'm too intrigued by whatever you're about to say"

"Good, do you want to go cause some problems?"

"Do I even need to respond?"

"Not at all, let's go."

Two Birds

Pairing: Grian x Winged!Reader

Request: spare some grian content???? grian with a winged s/o,,,,what shenanigans would they get upto-👑

Word count: 800

Okay so let’s get the cute basic stuff laid out. The “well that’s obvious” type stuff before we get to the cooler stuff.

You two obviously cuddle and preen together. Birds and bird hybrids that befriend anything will preen their friends. Doesn’t even matter if they’re a bird or not, bird see friend and bird clean by preen. Cleaning is a form of love for them! Helps keep you healthy!

So the preening is a cute little couple thing you two do together. Yes, you two preen your friends occasionally, but it’s mostly between you two. Plus you only preen your friends’ hair. Wing preening is only done between couples.

On an almost daily occurrence, you two will go out flying together. Not just a flying trip from project to project. No, this is more for relaxation. A journey with no set destination. All that matters is the journey you two have. Time is almost always made for this activity.

When Grian starts to get too focused into a project to the point of not taking a break or gets frustrated, you always bring up flying around to let him get his frustrations out. It’s something to help stretch some of those muscles that’ve been tensed up.

Intentionally or unintentionally, you two almost always do a “wing bump” when you walk by each other. It’s like a little high-five, should bump or arm bump when you walk by a friend. Though it’s more of a gentle bump or brush by. A quiet way of saying “Hey there!” and “I know you!”. With wings, it adds “I love you” onto that unspoken message.

Sunbathing is also an activity the two of you do often. Waking up and having the sunbeams greet you and warm you up for the day to come? Yeah that’s nice and all but going to sleep in the sunlight is so much more comforting. The soft heat from the sun warming your feathers and skin, slowly enticing you to the gentle embrace of sleep. Having a sleeping buddy to sunbathe with just makes the experience so much better. You get a buddy to talk with and enjoy the beams while relaxing.

Though what mostly happens is that you go with Grian to help on a project and you end up sleeping in the sunlight because of how long he just goes at it. He’ll spend hours just straight working on it, perfecting every build and prank. That can get rather tiring and boring, no matter who you’re with. A little sleep never hurt anybody.

Your sleeping actually forces Grian to take a break sometimes. That or he keeps a closer eye on your and the surroundings.

As a bird you should be able to keep an eye on your surroundings with that funky brain behavior but you’re half human so that just takes out that ability. It’s pretty much unusable or not there at all. So that leaves you vulnerable. You sleeping leaves your safety up to those around you and Grian is more than happy to take up that responsibility.

If either of you wants more attention in public or get a bit jealous because why is your partner speaking to someone else right now? Attention is required! From an outside view, most of the behavior to catch a partner’s attention is “cute” and not seen as rude at all. Which is nice and refreshing. They see it more as romantic or as a “couple” thingy.

One method to get your partner’s attention is to chirp and make some other cute bird noises. Another is to just cuddle/lean on the partner. It's just the lovey dovey stuff couples do. Bird hybrids just make it cuter.

You can’t have bird hybrid headcannons without the mating rituals. The singing, dancing, gifting and home building. It’s just a thing that has to be done!

So obviously when Grian is feeling more energetic that day, he’ll dance around to express his feelings. You’re more than happy to join him. Sometimes he does it just to impress you. Look at this cool dance move he can do! He’s so cool.

Must I even explain the gifting and house building? It’s just in his nature already. Adding bird doesn’t change this behavior much. If anything, it just makes it more prominent. Well, prominent isn’t the word. More of an issue, for lack of a better description.

Parrots in minecraft dancing? Implementing that behaior into Grian? Absolutely adorable. Almost the moment music starts Grian’s dance moves make an appearance. No matter how small the moves are, he’s shuffling around and bopping his head to the beat. Maybe even singing along. You do the same and it’s an adorable bonding activity for the two of you.

The others totally play music around you two to get y’all started. It’s a fun prank idea for them and it ends so wholesomely! Why would someone not do it just to see the two of your laughing together?

I JUST SAW THIS AND I??? G0RE??? HELLO????? I AM MELTING INTO MY SEAT EXCUSE ME???????

Fr tho this is really good, give it a read!

Ello! Was wondering if you could write something with mumbo? Maybe where the reader is grian's or scar's sibling and mumbo has been pining for them for a looooong time? Grian/scar and the rest of the boatem crew trying to set them up and leave them together every chance they get? Just a bunch of fluffy silliness (bonus points if the reader is really shy and knows a bit of redstone)

Wingman (Literally and Figuratively)

Pairing: Mumbo x Reader / Grian + Sibling!Reader

Genre: Romantic Fluff

Warnings: Just sweet 'ol fluff, Mumbo is trying his best.

A/N: Thank you for requesting this..its such a sweet idea! I'm still figuring out how to lay these fics out so bare with me! I might change the lay out of this bit here and there. Also every fic and headcanon will be gender neutral pronouns! However if I slip up, feel free to correct me, im used to writing for female readers. ALSO ! I'm currently on a new phone and it's super hard to get used to typing on it, so apologies for any mistakes!

Also this ENDED UP SO MUCH LONGER..sorry if you wanted something shorter, I got carried away

[○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○]

Mumbo couldn't believe he was doing this, out of everything he could be doing, he was here, knocking on Grian's door and  fidgeting with his tie nervously. Sweat beginning to appear on his forehead as he shifted his weight from one foot to another, he was a mess...he knew this, everyone else probably knew this, but who better to ask for advice than their brother.

Of course, he was so caught up in his internal debate, that he didn't hear the door open, and out stepped a tired looking Grian, hand rubbing his eye slowly as his wings slowly stretched.

"Mumbo, what on earth are you doing? It's 3am and I'm pretty sure you should be sleeping, we've got a Boatem meeting later."  He spoke, voice slightly raspy from waking up, eyes tiredly looking up at the taller mustached man.

"Ah well yanno, couldn't sleep so just thought I'd pop by and talk...about stuff..that won't actually let me sleep until I speak about it. Yanno?" Mumbo replied,  voice wavering here and there as his nerves got the better of him, why was this so hard? Suck it up!

Grian just blinked, raising a brow and stepping aside, motioning for Mumbo to follow, which he did, albeit hesitantly.

"So Mumby Jumby, what did you want to talk about so badly that you're awake still? You're usually more organised than this...sometimes" Grian hummed, sitting down on a table and lazily resting his chin in his palms, Mumbo sitting down after, "Uh your sibling actually, yeah uh so about them..I might have a slight tiny miniscule crush on them and you're my best friend and I thought id pop by and tell you" sputtered a ever increasingly flustered Mumbo, his eyes landing anywhere but his feathered friend before he heard a loud scoff from him.

"Mumbo, first of all, that's a lie, you're literally like a lost little puppy when they're around and all of us can tell you are absolutely infatuated, also I doubt you came here just to tell me, if it helps...I kinda think it's sweet, this whole puppy love you two got going on" he teased, grin widening as he smirked over at Mumbo, his friends face red as redstone, "Besides if it helps, there's a reason why they started to learn how redstone stuff works and suddenly kept asking you for opinions" He added, shrugging his shoulders.

He knew it was a mutual feeling between his sibling and his friend, all the Boatem and beyond knew, it was painfully obvious to everyone, even Scar of all people knew about it, so hearing Mumbo finally admit it was a relief, maybe the man wasn't as far gone into being stubborn as he thought.

"Oh. Well that- I mean, I? Uhhh.." He trailed off, words struggling to be formed as he cleared his throat, "Right yeah! I thought you would of reacted differently,  glad I'm not going to be fried over lava or anything but yes..look, I need some help, mate. I dunno how to tell them and I-" He got cut off, mouth open, by Grian shoving some bread in right in Mumbo's mouth.

"Don't worry, leave that to me, yeah? I've got this in the bag, pal. Just go back home, get some sleep and turn up to the meeting. On a different note, if you do hurt them in any way, I might just make a hobby out of murdering you" Grian hummed, his tone playful but with a threatening edge to it, the cogs in his brain already turning as he formed plans to help, he knew Mumbo would probably chicken out, so this way he had no choice. And before Mumbo knew it, Grian had effortlessly picked him up, and carried him outside before closing the door and quickly bidding the other man goodnight.

Well...that went well, off back home he went then, his mind slightly cleared as he eventually tucked himself in and dozed off.

...

...

...

Mumbo woke up ever so excited for the meeting, a prep in his step until he remembered a few hours ago, eyes widening as he scrambled to get ready, fetching neat but casual clothes and fixing up his hair, oh my god why did he let Grian plan this, this was either going to work a miracle or cause hell- he wasted no time in grabbing his elytra and some rockets before zooming off to the Boatem hole, fearing for what his bird hybrid pal has got up his sleeves.

...

...

"Hello?" He called out, messily skidding to a halt just before the edge of the void, being careful not to land on the minecarts or the redstone bouncing minecart contraption he had made.

It was empty, at least he thought so until you came along, head peeking out from behind a slime block, hair messy and a dopey grin on your face

"Oh hey Mumbo!" You called out, giving him a large grin as you stood up, redstone dust sprinkled over your clothes and some smeared on your face as you wiped your hands on your shirt, not caring about it being dirty. "Are...you okay? You haven't said a word, if it helps uh, the meeting wasn't important, just checking in on everyone and the gigabase stuff" you said as Mumbo snapped out of whatever trance he was in, shaking his head and waving his hands dismissively with a light chuckle, walking around over to where the other was before remembering you had asked a question, "Yeah! Yeah I'm uh yeah I'm alright, just dandy! Yep! I'm okay, what are you uh, up too?" He asked, the man trying his best not to get flustered at the fact he knew Grian had purposefully made the meeting early, which meant everyone else was in on it too. Pesky bird.

Nonetheless he watched you tinker with some redstone when he realised just why you were doing it, "Oh my god, someone messed the redstone up already? Man, I spent ages on that.." He pout, before kneeling down and examining the damage, seems like you had already done a good job at fixing it, just a bit of redstone and slimeblocks and it'd be good as new. Impressive!

You chuckled, shaking your head, "No clue who, it was like this before the meeting started, but it's fine, I uhh..knew you spent a lot of time on it so I thought it'd be nice to try and fix it myself! I've been learning redstone so I can help you out, I know it's hard doing it on your own." You explained, eyes going back over to the mess as you kept working, oblivious to Mumbo basically giving you heart eyes, the man was practically melting at the thought of you learning redstone just to help him out, so much so, he felt now would be better time than ever, it was just you two here, no distractions, no Boatem shenanigans, everything was in place..maybe Grians plan wasn't too bad after all.

"Soooo...I was wondering.." He trailed off, averting his eyes away from you and fiddling with his tie as he took a deep breath, "Are you uh free? Tomorrow I mean, I just thought we could uh, hang out..and I'd even treat you to lunch and dinner too if you'd like, my treat obviously"

Silence...

He nervously looked over at you to see you staring at him, eyes blinking before grinning bashfully, pink rushing to both your cheeks as you finally replied, "Mumbo if I didn't know any better, I'd think you're asking me on a date. Which I uh suppose I wouldn't say no too." You said, quickly distracting yourself with going back to work, leaving Mumbo in stunned silence briefly, "wait really? I mean woo! Yeah, its uh, yeah it's a date!" He stammered, words rushing out and his voice definitely cracking, the man didn't expect that at all, he was ready to face rejection. What he also didn't expect was for you to stand up and hug him. "Mumbo you're a mess." You snickered, his face only getting redder as he hesitantly hugged back, any words he could say were gone. Resting his chin on your head he gave a happy hum.

And of course their moment was short lived as from under the boatem hole came laughter, before Grian, Impulse, Scar and Pearl came flying out from underneath, each of them wearing a wide grin, Grian wiggling his eyebrows playfully at the duo who were still attached to each other.

"I might start my war, hate and plants arc if you guys don't bugger off, I can't believe you guys hid under the boatem hole.." came a playfully annoyed Mumbo,

"Welp, that's our que to leave, have fun on your little date you two! No hand holding before marriage" came a teasing comment from Scar before him and the others flew off giggling.

Mission success?

Content warnings (If any): None

"Y/n!" Grian exclaimed. He was on his knees trying to beg you to join his new server and you sat declining

'Double Life' he called it

It was a death game, everyone knew that and even if your home server was FAR from nice, you at least had more than three lives to live. 

"Grian, if I join, then the number will be uneven. Do you have another person to make it even?"  You asked softly and brought Grian from off the ground 

"Well yes, but they haven't answered yet." Grian said, "They should answer before it starts though!" 

You let out a sigh and said "Fine. I'll Join." 

"Yes!" Grian said under his breath "I promise you won't regret it! You'll love it! There are thrills, guts, and glory!" 

"I'm sure it will be wonderful. Maybe I'll meet a life partner there. Who knows?" You entertained the avian but somewhere deep inside you actually hoped your words come true

=====

When the time came, you quickly walked out of your home server, it was mainly dead anyway but there were rumors that there would be an activity minimum for it, and into the new server. It was there where you were met with everyone else and you began to count

15... 

There were 15 people on the server including you. 

"Y/n!" Grian smiled and walked to you "You're the last one on!" 

"You said there wouldn't be an uneven number!" Y/n said and grabbed the avian by his shoulders and shook him 

"Mum- bo- could- n't- Jo- in-" Grian said as you shook him and soon escaped your grasps with a breath of relief 

"It'll be fine, Y/n." Scott came up to you "All it means is that the code will match one of us to an already existing couple." 

You lean into him with a pout and say "I hope I'm at least paired with you. I know literally no one else except for you and Grian." 

"You need to meet some new people." Scott said, "I mean, I see a pretty canary staring straight at you."

When Scott said that he dragged your eyes from his to another man. One who flushed a bright red once he realized he was caught looking at you and you held back a coo. With beautiful chocolate brown eyes shining in the sun, golden hair and wings fluttering and being ruffled with the wind, and the gorgeous flush across his face, you murmured 

"I wouldn't mind being paired with that cutie." 

"Our resident canary in a coal mine." Scott murmured "Jimmy's got this weird thing where he's the first out every season. Maybe you can change that." 

"I don't know. I think he's fine just the way he is. I mean I'm here for a good time not a long time." You winked at the cyan-haired male 

Soon their attention was directed to grian who explained what was going on and what would be happening and the group split their separate ways. 

Hours later, you were very grateful you came back to spawn to scope out some places to live because one minute you were walking under the spawn trees, and then next there was a sharp pain in your right side, ringing, and then it stopped. 

<Tango> was blown up by a creeper 

<Y/ndoesthings> died

<SolidarityGaming> died

When you opened your eyes, you were in a tree and there was a shrill voice going "WHAT HAPPENED TANGO?!" and a dull pain rushed into your ankle, someone must have jumped down from their tree

"Is Everyone okay?" You asked and saw both tango and Jimmy

"Oh! Hi! Hi- I'm so sorry!" He cried out and placed his face in his hands to hide 

"Take me through it, What- What's happened there?" Jimmy asked 

"There was some caving and then there might have been about seven zombies and a spider and- You're being butted!" Tango said, still atop one of the many trees at spawn. 

Jimmy was the one that jumped down and was currently holding his stomach from being headbutted by a stay goat. Tango jumped down and You followed his lead. Once you were down from your tree you went up to each of the boys and asked 

"Is everyone okay?" 

The two nodded in response and you used both of your hands to cup one of their cheeks, which is a touch they melted into. Once you let go, they continued with their conversation and You went to grab your things, which were thankfully only like 10 feet away. Once you came back, tango was apologizing again and Jimmy is pacing around. 

"All right, let's go meet up in a bit, I need to go grab my stuff before it despawns!" He said 

"I don't even know where I was!" Tango realized "I just lost everything, yeah- I have no idea where I was." 

"You two go and try to get your things back. If anything, come back here and I'll have extra supplies for you guys." Y/n spoke up and placed a gentle hand on both of their shoulders "I snagged a bunch of iron so don't worry for now. just try and grab your things." 

But your words were barely heard as the boys panicked and laughed. After a minute, Jimmy and Tango decided to head up on a tree for a better leverage point to look. You followed the two boys as they talked and made what they needed for a hiding spot in case they die again. 

Once they did that (and tango placed a stick in to claim it), Jimmy went his separate way and left Y/n and Tango together. 

"How are you feeling?" You asked softly 

"Guilty," Tango admitted and his shoulders slumped "this was the worst way to meet me- to meet us." 

"Maybe," You hummed gently and picked a stray Daisy and gave it to the man, the piping hot blaze rods burning brighter as Tango took it and flushed a pink "But we didn't have to find each other by running around like headless chickens and while we might be yellows now, I don't think I'd rather be yellow with anyone else." 

Tango made a flustered noise and You could help but find it so endearing. This man, who was at least a good two feet taller than you, was burning bright red, golden hair flickering as if it were going to burst into flames and smoke coming off his back. 

Actually, now that you looked at him you noticed he wore a tight-fitting black crop top (that did wonders for his lean figure hubba hubba-) that had dipped down into a point to connect and clip onto his black cargo pants with cuffs around his wrists and the top of his bicep but the ones around his wrists were loose and had short chains dangling from them. 

When you finally looked at his face, Ruby red eyes glittered with amusement and an open mouth smirked and showed off sharp canine teeth. 

"Like what you see?" He grinned and you swatted at him 

"Yeah, you look fine as hell," you winked and he laughed 

=====

Hours later, Jimmy came back with nothing and a disappointed face only to find out you had a chest full of items for him ready and to see that you and Tango were suited up in Iron gear. 

"What-" He said and You saw his shoulders sag "How-" 

"Check the chest Jimmy," You said and watched as he opened it 

Sunlight beamed onto his face, blinding him for a second. 

"My bad, probably a bad idea to face the opening of the chest to face where the sun is shining. It was supposed to be for dramatic effect though." Tango said and turned the chest away from the sun and spilled all the goods inside. Iron armor, a diamond pickaxe and sword, food, and small trinkets the two had piled up for Jimmy fell from the chest. 

"is- Is all this for me?" he asked softly and knelt to the ground and grabbed the sword with a shakey touch and his eyes shone with unshed tears "Why- You didn't have-" 

"We wanted to. It's not much but we hope you enjoy it." You smiled and kneeled in front of him "Most of it I already had in my inventory so..."

"Y/n actually put the whole chest together," Tango pointed out with a satisfied smirk, and watched as a bashful flush spread across their cheeks and to their ears "They thought of the idea and organized everything. I just added in two things you might've liked." 

"Would it be too early in our relationship to kiss you two?" Jimmy asked, eyes glittering like topaz with the sun shining its golden rays on his already sunkissed skin

"I wouldn't think so," You smiled and cupped his face with both of your hands to pull him into a gentle kiss, electricity burning through you when your lips brushed against his, Tango coming up beside you to steal Jimmy away for another soft kiss to his lips and to press a chaste one against yours. 

Jimmy tasted like bubblegum and Tango tasted like cinnamon.

You just found your two new favorite flavors. 

=====

A day or so later, the home you and Tango had been constructed and Jimmy had brought in cows and some other essential things needed. 

The three of you deemed yourself, The Ranchers.

A silly nickname but you can't bring yourself to protest as Jimmy and Tango have their hearts set on making a monopoly on getting some farm animals and how can you say no to your Ruby and Topaz? 

Your precious jewels...  Oh how you love them so. 

As the three of you took a break though, Jimmy asked about Tango's choice of shirt wear. 

He wore crop tops like there weren't any left in the world

And there wasn't anything wrong with it, in fact, both Jimmy and You had admitted to the man that you loved the fact that he showed off his lean and slender frame and his tummy in general. 

Although, there were multiple times where Jimmy has been extremely flustered at the sight of Tango.

Once, When tango was doing his redstone while you and Jimmy were watching, the blaze hybrid has asked for a comparator and while You were drooling over him, Jimmy grabbed a bucket and attempted to give it to the man. 

"Jimmy," Tango said as he perched his red goggles on his head "That's a bucket." 

With those words, The avian flushed a bright red and placed the bucket upside down on his head, and bolted having You and Tango run after him laughing and attempting to calm him down. 

He was wearing his favorite shirt then, just like he was now. 

"Powered by Redstone" 

That had to be one of Tango's favorite phrases, especially when he's planning out his next masterpiece for his other dimension. 

At least he thinks. 

He doesn't quite remember, no one does. He says it's blurry and that he knows he was working on some huge build that needs a lot of redstone and attention but he can't quite remember what. He barely remembers friendships and relationships from people except those that are in this game right now. 

The game was fun like that. it gives you an almost entirely blank slate, but it keeps important things and fears near your heart. 

But you never would have thought you'd find love in a death game.

Sure it had only been a few days and it may be the red string of fate connecting you two but it felt so real and You know you would do this a thousand times over if you'd be able to feel like this again in your home server. 

"yeah- Actually this shirt was once full length," Tango broke through your daze and you focus on him, He's gripping the bottom of his 'Powered by Redstone" crop, and a blaze rod is hovering over his shoulder when He says "But sometimes by blaze rods catch stuff and-" 

And The shirt was up in flames before fluttering to the floor, a pile of ashes that was once his favorite shirt. 

"AWWW MAN!" Tango whined as Jimmy looked away, face flushed the same shade as Tango's eyes and You oogled at the bare chest of Tango with a satisfied hum

But as much as you liked the show, You knew you'd have to talk with Jimmy later about this situation. Tango was already making a pout and sad noises escaped his lips. You couldn't bare to see the blaze hybrid like that. 

=====

Hours later, in the dead of night, You whispered to the Avian in his ear "Jimmy? My Darling Topaz? Are you up?" 

"Yes, my Love?" Jimmy groaned quietly and suddenly you were thankful, the both of them insisted you lay in the middle of your shared bed and that Tango sleeps like the dead "Are you okay?" 

"I'm fine Topaz, I just wanted to ask if you wanted to do something for our Ruby. I feel bad that he lost his favorite shirt." You whisper and pull him close enough so that your lips brush the shell of his ear. A shiver ran down his back and he nodded. 

"We could recreate his shirt again," Jimmy said and began to press soft kisses to your face "This time with a more durable fabric?" 

"That works," You hummed and cupped his face to press a soft kiss to his lips "We can talk more about it in the morning. I love you My amazing Topaz."  

"And I love you, My precious diamond." He whispered into your mouth, never stopping his gentle kisses and you couldn't help but melt into his touch 

The next day, You awoke to Jimmy and Tango holding you tightly and you sighed with contentment, how you wish you could stay here all day, but the gods of old had other plans. 

So you squirmed out of their arms, both shifting to hold each other and the pillow between them as if you were still there. You smiled and went to the kitchen to make a simple breakfast. Snagging some eggs from the chickens you guys are hoarding and carving some bacon off the carcass of a pig you slaughtered this morning, you made some bacon and egg and cut up some day-old bread for toast. 

Jimmy was the first one up of the boys and watched as Y/n plated the breakfast as he leaned against the doorway, arms crossed over his bare chest, a soft smile gracing his lips. 

"Good morning Topaz," You hummed and smiled at him before placing his plate on the table "Go eat, I'll wake up our ruby."

"You are the best," he said and pressed a kiss to your cheek "We can talk more about the shirt after breakfast when Tango goes out?" 

"Alright," You smiled and placed a gentle hand on his chest before pressing a kiss to his lips "Enjoy." 

You walked past him after he kissed back and went to wake up Tango. 

"My lovely Ruby," You whisper in his ear as you crawl on top of him to sit on his waist "Time to wake up Tango, I made breakfast." 

Tango groaned softly as his eyes fluttered open. Twin red jewels stared back into your eyes as a smile graced Tango's lips and he pulled you down to smother you in kisses, laughs bubbled from your chest as you playfully fought from his grip. 

After a few seconds when he calmed down to just kisses, you heard his stomach rumble and he laughed. 

"I think that's my cue to eat the breakfast you made," He said and swung his legs over the edge of the bed to get off "Come, Topaz is waiting." 

"He's only waiting because you pulled me in to smother me!" You playfully whine out and allow him to drag you off the bed you share

After breakfast, Tango cleaned up the kitchen and Jimmy lit the fireplace. Y/n pulled Jimmy to dance with her while Tango cleaned and listened to their hushed giggles, They swayed in the warmth of their home, Jimmy humming into your ear as the sun dawned upon their home and the rooster crowed. Out of the corner of your eyes, you saw Tango watching from the kitchen with a gentle smile as he dried his hands and you beckoned him over. He and Jimmy switched spots and you swayed with Tango who whispered sweet words into your ears and eventually dragged Jimmy into the swaying, The three of you holding each other and talking softly. At least until Tango had to leave the house and You and Jimmy were left to your own devices. 

"Okay," Y/n murmured and caught Jimmy's attention, "I know where to find and how to get fire resistance clothing. Only thing is, I don't know how to sew words." 

"I can do that part," Jimmy said "It should be just like weaving a nest. Plus, my mom taught me how before I left her home." 

"Perfect," You grinned at him "You are so great Jimmy." 

A wobbly smile spread across his face as he flushed and covered his face with his hands. "You're too nice to me." He groaned softly which elicited a laugh from you 

"No such thing as ever too nice. Now, let's get Tango's present together." You smile and hold out your hand to him 

=====

Hours later, Tango came home calling out to the two who sat in the living room that he was going to take a shower and then probably nap. You and Jimmy sat on a rocking chair, you on Jimmy's lap reading and Jimmy rocking the chair, humming and peacefully stretching the words 'Powered by Redstone' into the shirt. 

"Hey, Jimmy!" Tango's voice called out but the two were in their own world "Do you know where-" 

Tango trailed off as he peeked into the living room and almost melted at the sight of his two lovers sitting together, his gems...

His home

A soft gasp snapped Tango out of his stupor and bring his gaze back to his partners. You were clutching something to your chest and using your body to hide it while jimmy tried to cover you and himself with his wings while exclaiming "Wait no! Wait! Don't look! It's not done!" 

"Aww," Tango cooed and stepped closer to you and Jimmy "What is it?" 

With a deep sigh, Jimmy unfurled his wings and showed you. You held out the shirt with a bashful expression while Jimmy explained "You were so sad after your favorite shirt got destroyed. So we thought we'd make you a new one." 

Tango looked taken aback and turned red and you and jimmy immediately panicked. 

"Oh god, you hate it!" You frowned and fiddled with your hands "I'm sorry, this was my idea and it was such a bad-" 

"I don't know why I thought-" Jimmy cut himself off as he pouted and began to cover himself with his wings, an embarrassed blush spreading across his cheeks "I'm not even that good-" 

This time Taango cut off Jimmy by lifting you up and kissing you... hard. Hard enough that you were dazed and had to stumble to another couch. Tango pulled Jimmy up by the collar of his shirt and kissed him with the same passion he kissed you with. Now that you were less dazed, you saw smoke rising from Tango's back in curls that looked like hearts and his red flush was still there and Jimmy's wings were flapping like crazy once he realized what was happening. 

When he pulled away from Jimmy, He kept the avian close, his left arm wrapping around Jimmy's waist. "Come here Y/n," Tango whispered and you obliged 

When you came close enough, he pulled you closer and wrapped his free arm around your waist, and pressed another kiss to your lips. You melted into his touch and leaned your forehead into the crook of his neck while he whispered

"I love it. It means so much to me that you two did this." He pressed a gentle kiss to yours and Jimmy's foreheads before continuing "Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you." 

[womburt]

Hi! Saw that writing requests were open so I was wondering if I could request a reader x mumbo oneshot? :)

Something about maybe having a lazy morning where the reader and mumbo just stay in bed a bit longer and cuddle and talk about random stuff? Could maybe end with grian and/or scar busting in their house because they need mumbo's help with something and mumbo not wanting to get up and being all grumpy. Just a bunch of fluff with a bit of humor :D

reader with they/them pronouns!

A Lazy Morning with Mumbo; C. Mumbo x Reader

Hi Anon! I literally wrote this as soon as I read your message because I was so excited! Thank you for sharing your request with me! Hope you enjoy :-)

*Warning! This fic contains profanity and descriptions of (mostly healed) burn/injury! Don’t read if this could upset you!

-----

It was the sunlight on their forehead that pulled Y/n out of their slumber.

It crept in through the open window, landing all over their wooden flooring, and stretching all the way to their bed. It fell over their body in sheets of warmth, dusting the high points of their nose and cheeks. Y/n couldn’t help but recoil from the rays, pulling their sheets up to bury their face. 

There was a weight wrapped around Y/n’s waist, which shifted a bit when they moved. A hand found its way to the sliver of their skin that was exposed underneath the covers. Rough fingers, scarred from years of gloveless redstone-ing, gently stroked their torso, finding solace in the way that they rose and fell with each inhale and exhale.

Y/n could almost feel themself begin to fall back asleep when a form shifted behind them. A strong nose pressed into the nape of their neck, warm breaths on the backside of their jaw. His mustache was the most noticeable change, now tickling that sensitive part of their neck. 

Y/n crinkled their nose and reached a hand back to find his face. Their palm landed somewhere near his temple, judging by the feeling of thick hair under their fingertips. They ran their thumb over his hairline and felt him lean into their touch. 

“You’re tickling me.” They admitted quietly.

The breaths at their neck deepened when the form behind them let out a quiet laugh. The fingers at their waist halting their ministrations for half a second. 

“Sorry love.” 

His voice was groggy and wonderfully low - they always did love how he sounded when he first woke up. There was a certain rasp to it that was much more noticeable when he was tired. Y/n turned over to look at their lover, eyes falling on his face.

Mumbo’s eyes were still shut, dark eyelashes resting on the tops of his cheeks. His usually styled hair was messy with sleep, a cowlick sending it in multiple directions. He was smiling peacefully at them. Y/n’s hand found him again, this time resting under his jaw, their thumb on his tall cheekbone. They stroked the skin there comfortingly, reveling in the feeling. He opened his eyes slowly, holding their gaze as soon as he found it. 

“Good morning,” he greeted with that perfect morning-voice, and Y/n’s heart fluttered at the sound. They couldn’t help but scoot forward, burying their head into his chest. 

Aforementioned chest rumbled with a chuckle, strong arms wrapping around Y/n and pulling them impossibly closer to Mumbo. 

“How’d you sleep?” They asked into his sternum, voice muffled by the sweater he was wearing.

“Perfectly. Always perfect when I’m with you,” Mumbo answered honestly, resting his chin atop their head. Y/n would have rolled their eyes had they been open - the cheesiness too much to bear. Still, they couldn’t help but agree with him. Nights spent with Mumbo were always more desirable than nights spent alone. The man was a living teddy bear. 

“You’re such a flirt,” they teased, tangling their legs with his affectionately. 

If they’d been looking at Mumbo, they would have seen his cheeks flush a light pink. It didn’t matter how long they’d been together, Y/n could always reduce him to a blushing and word-fumbling mess. 

“Come ‘ere,” Mumbo mumbled, large hands searching for Y/n’s face, eventually landing on their jaw. He carefully guided their head away from his chest, angling it towards his own. Their eyes were open now, searching his expression for some kind of clue as to what he was doing.

Mumbo leaned down catching Y/n’s lips with his own. His hands cradled their face still, unwilling to let them go. Y/n followed his lead, gripping onto his sweater in an effort to keep him close. They sighed blissfully. 

He pulled away after a moment, placing another peck onto the tip of their nose, and eventually resting his forehead against theirs. 

“Do you want to live with me?”

Y/n’s eyebrows shot up at the question. From the way that they were positioned, they couldn’t get a good look at his face. They could, however, feel his fingers, which were drumming anxiously on the back of their neck. Y/n wondered if he even knew he was doing it. 

With the start of the season, they’d only really just begun to plan their main base, and they weren’t super attached to any of the ideas they’d had. The little starter home that the both of them were currently situated in had been their main priority so far. They knew Mumbo’s general plans for his future home, and truth be told, they had imagined how wonderful it’d be to wake up with him everyday. 

“You don’t have to say yes,” Mumbo interrupted their train of thought, nerves clearly getting the best of him. The finger drumming hadn’t quelled at all, seemingly even faster than before. Y/n quickly shook their head, reaching up to find his forearms. They held his arms, pulling his hands to eye level.

“I would love to. I know we could make something great together.” They answered assuringly before pressing a chaste kiss to his knuckles, taking note of the noticeably fresher scars found there. They’d have to brew him a healing potion later. 

Mumbo heaved a sigh of relief, dopey smile paired with a relax in his posture. Y/n hadn’t noticed how much he’d tensed his body up. 

“Absolutely. Absolutely we will make something amazing.” He affirmed, blushing furiously when they giggled at him.

“Don’t laugh. I wasn’t sure you’d say yes,” he scolded jokingly, pouting at them. Y/n muffled another laugh and slipped their fingers through his, squeezing his hand reassuringly.

“I can’t help it, you’re so cute when you’re nervous.” They smiled mischievously at him, shaking their head at the dramatic huff he replied with.

“Nervous? Says the one who could hardly speak the first time I kissed them.”

Y/n’s eyes went wide with offense, remembering exactly which event Mumbo was referring to. Their first kiss hadn’t exactly been expected on their end. Y/n could recall standing stock-still when he’d leaned down to press his lips to theirs. They’d been a flustered mess, and could hardly get a word out when he finally pulled away. 

“Rude!” They exclaimed in faux-offense, dropping his hands and looking at him with sad eyes.

Mumbo smirked victoriously, pinching their cheek and ignoring them when they attempted to slap his hand away.

“It’s a good thing you love me anyway,” he teased, pouting his lips mockingly. Y/n tried to frown at him, but couldn’t help the little grin from overtaking their expression.

“You’re lucky I do,” they chided, finally getting his hands off of their head.

“You are also lucky you haven’t lost your hands, with as poorly as you take care of them,” Y/n scolded, pulling Mumbo’s knuckles up in front of his eyes so that they could both see the recent injuries.

Mumbo grimaced at the sight, having forgotten to even clean them up last night. He’d been so excited to climb into bed and cuddle, he hadn’t thought to treat his wound first. Besides, this wasn’t the first time he’d postponed his own wellbeing to spend time with Y/n, and it certainly wouldn’t be the last. They were his priority, always. 

“It’s just a little burn, nothing to worry about.” Mumbo deflected, shrugging his shoulders, but not missing the look Y/n gave him.

“If you’d just wear your gloves, there wouldn’t be any burns,” Y/n reprimanded. Mumbo shook his head at them. They were right of course, but gloves always got in his way. He didn’t like the layer of fabric between him and his work, his contraptions always worked better when he built them with bare hands.

“That’s alright. You’ll just have to keep taking care of me.”

Y/n, realizing they weren’t getting anywhere with him, bit their lip and tried not to think about Mumbo’s knuckles. He rubbed his thumb on the back of their hand comfortingly, trying to draw their attention somewhere else.

Y/n stifled a yawn they didn’t know was coming, pulling Mumbo’s hand with them. 

“Still tired?” he asked, already knowing the answer.

Y/n nodded, allowing Mumbo to wrap them up in his arms again, the two resuming their hug from earlier. His fingers found their way into their hair, combing through it gently. Y/n sighed into his chest, basking in his familiar touch. 

Mumbo rested his head on top of theirs, breathing gently so as to not disturb his sleepy lover. If Y/n wanted to have a lazy morning, then who was he to argue? He could use the extra sleep anyway. Mumbo could never have enough rest.

He was halfway to falling back asleep when the crash of a door whipping open bomboarded his ears.

Underneath him, Y/n stirred uncomfortably, frowning at the sudden noise. Disappointed in their discomfort, Mumbo, turned to the source of the noise, prepared to tell whatever it was to screw off. 

“Mumbo! There you are! I’ve been looking for you for ages!” 

Mumbo groaned when Grian’s voice met his ears. He was smiling cheerily from the entranceway, hands thrown up in excitement. The shorter man was posed like a cartoon character, stance wide and face lit up with a wide grin. He was much too energized as far as Mumbo was concerned.

“It’s polite to knock,” Mumbo informed sarcastically, rolling back over towards Y/n, who’d curled even further into him than he’d originally thought possible. 

“Nonsense! How would I know you heard me? Better to just wake you up myself! Oh hello Y/n!” 

Grian’s voice grew louder as he approached, eventually sitting down on the bed and leaning over their intertwined forms. Mumbo peeked one eye open to see his friend smiling down at the two of them, uncaring of their tiredness. 

“Grian, do you think we could be left alone please?” 

Mumbo couldn't help the frustration that seeped into his voice, fatigue weighing on his ability to sugarcoat his feelings. Somewhere under the covers, Y/n giggled at his tone.

“Nope! You see, I…,” Grian trailed off, trying to figure out how to summarize his situation in a way that would express its direness, without sending Mumbo into a complete frenzy.

The mustached man raised an eyebrow at his friend, not exactly in the mood to entertain any convoluted stories. 

“Listen. There may or may not be a Wither at your vault.”

Mumbo’s eyes shot open, suddenly feeling very awake. 

“A what?! Where?!” He rose from his position, causing Grian to stand back up all together - the latter clearly intent on flying out of the room before Mumbo could yell at him.

“Well how else was I supposed to get in? Now come on, before it turns the spawn village to ash!”  Patting Mumbo on the top of his head like one would a child, Grian rushed to the door. 

“Goodbye Y/n!” He shouted, soaring off in the direction of the monstrosity he’d apparently created that morning.

“Damn bird,” Mumbo cursed, getting out of bed and searching for his wings. Mumbo quickly prepared himself to go clean up Grian’s disaster, but found his way back to Y/n. Leaning over them, Mumbo pressed a quick kiss to their forehead. Y/n smiled up at him in adoration.

“I’ll see you later?” They asked tentatively, soaking in the sweet look he gave them.

“Of course, sleep well,” Mumbo instructed, heading off to the door with a shake of his head. Y/n watched him fly off towards Grian, still wearing his pajamas like a grumpy old man on his way to yell at meddlesome kids. Their grumpy old man. 

They could get used to this.

I was bored and wrote this at work

Why don't you trust me?

Yan! Scar x gn! reader

Cw: Kidnapping, angst, slight manipulation

Warning: Yandere is not okay, and the stuff thG happens in this fic i don't condone irl. This is a work of fiction.

You grumbled to yourself, what had happened, you had a light headache where were you you tried to rub your eyes and thats when you felt it, the heavy chain on your arm attaching you to the wall in a dark room. You froze, who captured you, you remember a battle between Dogwarts and the desert.Then the enchanting table was left there and it.. exploded. Oh God, you were on your second life and you figured Scar or Grian captured you but thats when someone came down the steps. "H-Hello-?" You called out

"Hello my love." A familiar voice responded... Scar. "Scar, help me im trapped and you can s-"

"Ah, ah ah, shhhhh." He came closer and put a finger in front of your mouth quieting you. You could make him out in the dimly lit room, his red skin. "This is what happens when you decide to be a traitor honey."

"T-Traitor but we agr-"

"Ah, what did I say about being quiet im not done explaining." You could see his smile shift into a smirk. "You know I love you, but you chose to be with Ren over me, so I took you away, I saved you from him, he's a monster and I'm all you need baby." He moved closer and started to gently caress the side of your face looking into your E/C eyes with deep love as he kissed you before pulling away and smiling at you. You kissed back as you loved the man in front of you.

"Now come on Scar, you know I love you and we happened to be on opposing team, it's not the most pleasant situation but I love you more than anything so please let me go."

"Awe baby, as much as I'd love to let you be free you need to prove your worth to me, and promise to never go back over there, you got hurt over there you're on your second life now and thats not good. Its not safe over there for you and I want to make sure you are as safe as possible."

"Scar don't you think this is a little ridiculous?"

"Maybe you'll learn your lesson on how to not be a traitor."

"Baby im sorry."

He chuckled at you, he wasn't the scar you knew this Scar was crazier than normal, this was red life Scar. He gave you one more kiss which you didn't return in pure hurt that your love didn't trust you as he left the room.

Grian x clingy reader ❤️ Reader can't help but always somehow snuggle up behind or with him and is very chaotic. The relationship is like "Reader no!" "Reader yES!" If that makes sense ●.●

I always see the reader having to restrain Grian’s chaos, so it was interesting to try writing him as the one having to keep the reader in check! I chose to focus more on the chaos than the clingy aspect, since I have some cuddle fics in the work and wanted something a little different, but I hope you’re happy with the result!

Chaos Couple

c!Grian x gn!Reader (romantic)

Summary: In your relationship, you’re the more chaotic partner! Sometimes Grian has to restrain your energy for a change.

Warnings: I don’t think any are needed!

Note: First season 9 fic! I’m excited to see how this goes!

Grian poked his head into iEnchant, quickly scanning the room. The only person inside was the owner, who was restocking the barrels of enchanted books. He waved to Grian, calling out a greeting.

Grian frowned as his gaze came to rest on Impulse. “Have you seen Y/N?” 

Impulse shook his head, looking thoughtful, then switched to a nod. “Yeah actually, I think they were heading around the lake towards spawn.” 

Grian’s face turned to one of panic. “Oh, void.” Without a farewell, he rushed out of Impulse’s shop. Frantically, he started flapping into the air, a few feathers drifting to the ground in his wake as Grian flew over the water to the rock that marked spawn.

Stumbling as he landed, Grian began searching, ducking in and around buildings. After taking a moment to catch his breath, he called out. “Y/N!” You didn’t respond. 

Grian trotted along the server’s paths, periodically calling out your name. “Y/N! Y/N?” He passed a few hermits, stopping only long enough to ask if they knew where you were before biting off a quick goodbye and carrying on the search. He knew you couldn’t be left to your own devices for too long, and it had already been long enough.

In his haste to find you, Grian didn’t notice the smile and restrained giggles from Scar, who shook his head no when asked if he’d seen you. “Are you sure? I need to find them or the server will end up in chaos.” At Scar’s denial, he quickly continued on.

The reason for Scar’s amusement was obvious to any other hermit. You stood not five metres from Grian, following him less than stealthily from the bushes. 

When you’d heard your partner's calls, you wandered over to see what he wanted. Upon finding him, you grinned, seeing the potential for a prank. For a good twenty minutes, you followed Grian. Each time he approached another hermit, you signalled to them to keep quiet. Scar came the closest to giving you away, but luckily Grian didn’t seem to notice.

You finally decided you’d tormented Grian enough. When he entered Doc’s shop, you snuck up to the doorway and waited. Finally, he exited.

Launching yourself forward, you swung your arms around Grian’s neck and planted a kiss on his lips. “Hello love!”

At the force of your hug, Grian took a step back, stabilising the both of you against the wall. Meeting your eyes, his shocked expression melted into a smile, and he wrapped his arms around you. “Y/N. My dove. Where have you been?”

You grinned. “Planning a prank on X.”

“Void, Y/N!” He laughed. “No! We pranked him last week!”

You pulled back a bit, releasing Grian from your embrace so you could put on an exaggerated thinking expression. “Hmmm… Yes, Y/N!” 

Grian sighed.

Leaning forward, you pecked him on the mouth again. “There is no such thing as too much chaos!” You jumped back, dancing out of Grian’s reach before he could hold you back.

He leaped forward, using his wings to gain speed you had no way of matching. Holding you against him, he pressed his lips to yours, grinning as he pulled away. “I can’t argue with that.”

hi! can i request some pinning headcanons for mumbo? i loved your recent grian fic btw!

PINING MUMBO HCS

 ۫  ּ   ִֶָ  ࣪✦ PAIRING(S) \ C!Mumbo Jumbo x GN!Reader

 ۫  ּ   ִֶָ  ࣪✦ SYNOPSIS \ Pining HCs for our local homicidal spoon- Mumbo!

 ۫  ּ   ִֶָ  ࣪✦ WARNINGS \ Mild language

 ۫  ּ   ִֶָ  ࣪✦ A/N \ I think I missed the peak time to post this during the Mumbo Drought, but I hope you guys will still appreciate this little fic about one of my favorite block men :P (also for some reason I really thought that the song rises the moon fits this, so do with that what you will)

For Mumbo, the way he feels and expresses his care has always been something that sets him apart from the rest of the Hermits. 

Where Grian’s emotions burst and explode like fireworks, and Scar’s cheerful but mischievous presence curls like the corner of a Cheshire grin, Mumbo’s is much more unassuming.

Mumbo’s affection is slow, threading through his bones and wrapping around his heart like the gossamer-soft tendrils of an ivy vine.

Before he realizes it’s even there, the roots have burrowed so deep that it would be madness to try and imagine himself not spending the rest of his life without that care, without that friendship.

It happened with Grian, with Scar, with almost every friend he’s ever made, and… you.

With you, though, the feeling is different- it runs so much deeper than anything that could be misconstrued as platonic.

If you asked Mumbo when he fell in love with you, he might say that a part of him has always been.

Or, alternatively, he might burst into flames on the spot.

Even before he really recognized how he felt about you for what it is(which is, spoiler alert, complete and total endearment), he was still noticeably… softer, perhaps, when it came to you.

You’d have to be looking for the signs of his budding crush to notice it, but the signs are definitely there.

Stopping in the middle of his sentences whenever you had to say something, never hesitating to offer his help even when he might’ve had to put his projects on hold- just little things like that.

Some part of him is always tuned into you, your needs, whatever you’re doing.

“Mumbo! Are you out here?” you called, trotting towards where the tall Hermit had made his base, a hill that overlooked the winding river that cut through where almost all of the players had decided to settle. It had taken a lot longer than it should’ve to get the thing constructed, what with Grian determined to wax all of his copper blocks to be a nuisance, but now it stood proudly silhouetted against the limpid blue sky.

The sound of voices grew as you approached, and you picked up your pace, your focus now locked onto the small hut that Mumbo had built next to the contraption that housed all of his wealth.

“Mumbo?” you asked, poking your head in through the door. Two figures greeted you on the other side, both Mumbo and Scar huddled over a table in the middle of the room. Mumbo was the first of them to react, trailing off in the middle of whatever he was saying as he made eye contact with you. Scar wasn’t far behind.

Realizing that you had probably interrupted something important, you cleared your throat, pointedly ignoring the slight heat that had risen in your cheeks. “Oh, were you two busy? I can leave, it wasn’t urgent-”

“No, no!” Mumbo said abruptly, one hand shooting out to stop you before you could slip back through the door. “It’s alright! I’m happy to help.”

He looked a little tired, with faint circles under his eyes and his usually neatly kept hair wild like he had been running his hands through it while he thought. His suit jacket was missing, too, baring his semi-rumpled button-up shirt, which had been carelessly rolled up at the elbows.

“Are you sure?” you murmured, your eyebrows ticking down into a soft scowl. You certainly didn’t want him to feel obligated to help you out when he really didn’t need to. He looked busy enough as-is.

“It’s fine.” he asserted again, more calm this time. His eyes were genuine and pleading, and you felt your hesitation fade even as he turned to look at Scar “You don’t mind waiting for a bit while we sort this out, yeah?

The brunette shrugged, his signature cheery smirk slowly spreading across his face. His green eyes, however, were sharp as they bounced between you and the dark-haired Redstoner. “I was going to have to go feed my Jellie cat pretty soon, I don’t mind putting our plans on hold.”

A hint of relief passed over Mumbo’s face. “That sound good. Now, uh, what did you need?”

“I really didn’t mean to intrude, but I was trying to build a stasis machine and I just realized that I’m out of ender pearls…”

Grinning somewhat sheepishly, you tugged on the straps of your armor. “Well, I suppose I was wondering if I could borrow some? I promise I’ll pay you back later, maybe with an IOU? If that sounds good?”

Mumbo laughed, a slightly breathless sound, and ushered you over. “I have a few in my inventory. And I’ll be taking you on that IOU, so you might want to start regretting it.”

Rolling your eyes, you accepted the pearls he handed you, thinking nothing of the way his hands lingered a little too long on yours.

“Yeah, yeah- just don’t get to used to the power trip, mustache man.”

You’re like the Earth, and he’s a satellite bound to your orbit- but one that’s completely oblivious to its ensnarement.

Hell, it took Grian point-blank telling Mumbo he had a crush for it to even begin to register, and the second that it clicks, well…

He’s in a bit of a Crisis™

On one hand, putting a name to how he felt about you was cathartic, leaving him feeling like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

On the other- what the hell is he supposed to do now.

It’s not like he can just act normal, right? He’s just had this huge revelation, and he’s bound to act differently, and Oh Nox, what is you figure it out-

Despite his fears, Mumbo isn’t actually all that obvious.

Sure, he’s a little more nervous around you, more hesitant to try the casual touches that you had grown acclimated to over your friendship, but again, it’s nothing you wouldn’t notice if you weren’t looking for it.

He finds himself staring at you all the time now, and not even just admiring how you look, no. One of his favorite pastimes is just watching the expressions flit across your face while you read a particularly good book, suppressing a quiet chuckle the more dramatic they are.

Mumbo just likes you, and he’s terrified about it.

Give him some time to work up the courage, but he’ll confess to you eventually.

He may be a patient man, but the sooner he can embrace you without having to worry if you can hear his thundering heartbeat through his skin, the better.

hello hello, hope youre having a lovely day, could you do a grian x cat hybird!reader where grian accidentally makes the reader purr for the first time and the reader is embarrassed about it? they/them pronouns please!

Hello! I hope your day is great too! The title was always going to be a pun. It was either going to be “A Purrfect Day” or this. I tried to resist the urge, but the power of cat puns is too much!

Feline Good

c!Grian x Cat Hybrid!Reader (platonic, but could be read as having a crush)

Summary: Your best friend always knows just how to make you laugh, but he’s never heard you purr before.

Warnings: None! It’s just fluff!

Note: I actually recently joined an Origins server and chose the feline origin, so this was well-timed!

“Hey! Hey, Y/N!” You jumped, ears twitching as you looked around frantically for the source of your friend’s voice.

Glancing up, you only had a moment before your vision was filled with feathers. You let out a yowl as Grian crashed into you, sending both of you onto the ground.

You lay still for a moment, catching your breath. Grian rolled off of you, flopping dramatically onto his back with an exaggerated sigh. You began to giggle at his antics.

Grian looked over at you. “Note to self: Y/N is not the ideal perch. They will just collapse.”

You just laughed harder. Your friend grinned at you before joining in. His laugh was much louder than your own, as your giggles turned more into a rumble in your chest.

Your purr, while quiet, was at a much lower pitch than Grian’s laughter and was just as audible.

Grian sat up as he looked at you, cocking his head to the side. “Did you just… purr?”

The sound cut off as you inhaled sharply. “No!”

Your answer was just a bit too quick, and a bit too defensive.

A grin split across Grian’s face. “You did! Aww, the kitty cat purrs!” You let out a grumble of protest. “You don’t need to be embarrassed! I think it’s adorable!” You screeched, burying your face into your hands.

“You’re just like Jellie!” At Grian’s continued teasing, you peeked through your fingers at him. Your friend had fallen backwards and was laughing hysterically.

Despite the burning in your cheeks, you dropped your hands and reached forward to hit Grian. He squawked, not expecting the blow.

“Do you see me making fun of you for your birdbrain?” You gave a half-hearted glare, folding your arms in a pout and twisting so you were facing away from your friend.

When Grian came back to a sitting position, he looked down. “I suppose not.” You turned back to him, catching a mischievous glint in his eyes as he looked up at you.

“Don’t you dare-!” You were cut off as Grian launched himself at you, fingers outstretched in an attack. You raised your arms to fend him off, but Grian knew you too well and ducked underneath, tickling you mercilessly.

You began to giggle uncontrollably, and soon Grian’s true intentions became apparent as you began to purr again. Once you reached this stage of laughter, Grian ceased his attack and leaned back with a satisfied smile.

When you finally caught your breath, you asked your friend “So what brought you flying in so fast?”

“Well, I saw that Tango had finished his new game! I know you’d be excited to play when it was done, so I came straight over here to tell you!”

You jumped up. “Why didn’t you say so already? Let’s go!” Before Grian could respond, you began to bound across the field, turning halfway across to watch your friend take to the skies. He quickly overtook you, looping back to remain close to your pace as the two of you travelled across the landscape.

[frog-writes-for-fun]

Can I get some jealousy,,, for the people. Any pairing really, just love your angst!!

I’m sorry. You asked for jealousy, and I was in an angsty mood. There is no happy ending here; be warned.

If Only, If Only (A Single Thing Was Different)

c!Grian x c!Scar x c!Mumbo, c!Grian x gn!Reader (one-sided)

Summary: You’ve fallen in love with your best (only) friend, but he doesn’t know, and definitely doesn’t reciprocate.

Notes: Angsty, unrequited love, jealousy, isolating and depressed actions, parallels to suicidal thoughts and actions (though not explicit). Please be careful when reading. If it’s too much, stop reading! Please! Also, yes I know Minecraft doesn’t have a “___ is typing” message, but it’s for the angst!

You never thought you’d find love. Far too concerned with your builds, it wasn’t often that you got out to meet others. Most of your knowledge of the other hermits came from the serverwide announcements and the buzzing of your communicator; you rarely saw them in-person. The only person who you consistently saw was Grian, as the bird hybrid would come to hang out while you built.

The two of you were closer than close, and perhaps if something were different, you might have been more than friends.

But the Life Games began, and Grian teamed up with Scar for the first round. That was no issue, the two of them were friends. You thought that they were maybe a bit closer than you thought, with how well they knew each other.

Last Life came and went, and the Southlands rose and fell. In one case, quite literally. Grian and Mumbo stuck together this season. It was strange how they gravitated to one another.

And then came Double Life. The straw that broke the camel’s back. Grian was not your soulmate, despite how much you may have wished. Instead, he was with Scar. 

When you returned to HermitCraft, Grian and Scar were constantly at each others’ sides. Mumbo joined their little group, and it wasn’t long until they announced that the three of them were dating.

You pulled away from the celebrations and congratulations thrown at the trio. Turning all your attention back to your building, you jumped into the work. Barely sleeping and barely eating, you didn’t even notice that no one came to visit. There were no familiar wingbeats from overhead, no joyous laughter from your friend. It was just you and the blocks.

Eventually, you stepped back. The build was finished. You turned, searching for the familiar companionship of Grian. He wasn’t there. It was just you.

With your build complete, what was there to work for? Without Grian there to pull you into something, who were you even building for?

It took a moment to turn on your communicator. You never really used it, without anyone to talk to. Scrolling up through your messages with Grian, you let out a small smile at every little reminder to eat, to drink, to sleep, the notifications that he was coming over. 

The last message was three weeks ago. Nothing since the return to the server, and Grian, Scar, and Mumbo’s announcement.

Below, the cursor blinked. You began to type out a message.

<You whisper to Grian: I’m sorry. If only I could have told you. If only anything were different.>

<Grian is typing…>

<Y/N has left the game.>
