Summary: Sometime after Double Life, communications manage to get set up between Hermitcraft and EmpiresSMP. Tango tells himself heâll apologize to Jimmy as soon as itâs set up (spoiler alert: it takes a while).
Part two of my little Ranchers story! I highly recommend reading part one first to have the full experience :)Â
CW: None!
Word count: 1,202 words
[Part 1] [Part 2]
===============================
Itâs⌠been a bit since Tangoâs gotten to talk to Jimmy.
He didnât end up speaking to the half-avian anymore after their permadeath, and since getting back to Hermitcraft, heâs felt a bit guilty about it. Sure, giving Jimmy space (and taking space for himself to cool down, kind of literally) was the right choice, but a part of his brain nags at him that he should have apologized. That he shouldnât have left them on bad terms. No one knows when theyâll be pulled into the games again. They donât know who will be pulled. It could be a very long time until Tango can properly talk to Jimmy again and apologize for what happened.
So when Xisuma announces to the server that he and Pix had managed to set up communications between the two servers, itâs safe to say that Tango is more than a little surprised. And when the surprise ebbs into anxiety, he immediately starts making plans to talk to Jimmy.
After thinking it over for a few hours, he grabs his comm and scrolls to Jimmyâs name. Tango is going to apologize. He is going to tell Jimmy how sorry he is, how much the Ranch meant to himâhow much it still means to himâhow he was never actually upset with Jimmy but with the crappy situation they were forced into.
Heâs going to..
To..
Huh.
Tangoâs hands arenât usually this shaky when he holds his communicator.
Itâs just.. Itâs just because he has a lot to say, right? Yeah, yeah, thatâs it. Thereâs just a lot to apologize for, and he doesnât want to miss anything. Maybe⌠he should make a list? Yes! A list. A list will keep him on track.
Tango sets his communicator down and looks for a pen and paper, finding a crumpled scrap and a nearly-out-of-ink marker amongst the mess that is Decked Out 2 planning. He gets to work making a list on what topics he wants to talk about.
1.) Heâs sorry for yelling at Jimmy.
2.) The Ranch always meant something.
3.) He never blamed Jimmy for their permadeath.
4.) He wants to start over.
Tango looks long and hard at the list, going over it again and again to make sure he hasnât missed anything. He picks up his comm again, but.. it still doesnât feel right. Maybe getting Impulse or Etho to look it over and make sure itâs good will help with his nerves? Once again, another great idea. He hastily grabs the paper and shoves it into his pocket before equipping his elytra and going off to talk to his friends, leaving his communicator behind.
===============================
This goes on for days, and then weeks, and then months. Tango keeps making excuses on why he canât talk to Jimmy yet, even ignoring any messages that Jimmyâs sent. Itâs not at all that he doesnât want to talk to his rancher friend. He desperately wants to set things right! Heâs just.. absolutely terrified that Jimmy will never forgive him and that theyâll never have each other like they did before.
So⌠yeah. No pressure.
One day, when Tango is about to wrangle the ravagers back into their proper places inside the dungeon, his comm pings. He pulls it out and sees that Grian has sent a message to everyone.
<Grian> Everyone meet at the Rift
<Grian> Something weird is happening
About fifteen-ish minutes later, all of the Hermits are in the cave where the Rift appeared. Tango canât say heâs been here very often, but even in his short visits, itâs given him the heebie jeebies. Despite Tangoâs few and far between visits, even he can tell that the Rift is different. Its regular light purple glow has turned into something much darker, and the usually-calm surface swirls angrily, like a Nether portal but worse.
Grian claps his hands to get everyoneâs attention, quieting the Hermitsâ chatter down. âRight, so when I woke up this morning and came down here, the Rift was like this.â
Cleo crosses her arms, tilting their head to the side. âAnd this needed everyoneâs attention becauseâŚ?â
Something flashes in Grianâs eyes, so fast that Tango figures that heâs imagining things. âI think we should go through.â
That receives quite a few mixed reactions, some of the more easygoing (*cough cough* reckless and chaotic *cough cough*) members simply shrug and nod, ready to do whatever. Others are more hesitant, in the middle of big projects and not wanting to leave them unattended for any extended period of time.
âQuick question,â Impulse speaks up from the crowd, âdo we have any idea whatâs on the other side?â
âOh, not a clue,â Grian responds with a smile. âI just have a feeling that itâll be fun.â
âA feeling?â Xisuma questions.
Grian hums his confirmation, his grin only growing. âA feeling.â
After a few long moments, Xisuma sighs. âAlright, anyone who wants to go in can go. Iâll be going to make sure some of you,â he makes a pointed look at Grian who just grins even wider, âdonât get into too much trouble.â
One by one, Hermits start to walk into the portal, a few staying behind. Tango should stay behind. He still has a bunch of work to do on Decked Out 2, but.. a break sounds really nice. Heâs long overdue for some relaxation, and maybe once his head is cleared, he can actually message Jimmy to talk about things. Of all of Tangoâs procrastinating plans, this one is by far the best one, he thinks.Â
He waves to the Hermits whoâve decided to stay behind, and he walks through the portal. Itâs a weird sensation, unlike going through a Nether or End portal. It feels like heâs moving through cold honey, and Tango thinks heâs in that space between dimensions for much longer than usual. When he finally exits the portal, he stumbles onto the stone on the other side, being caught by Impulse before he can fall. Tango looks around, a bit surprised to see structures off in the distance.Â
Must be another server, Â he thinks to himself. To double check, he pulls up the tabs list on his comm to see if there are other people who arenât Hermits present, and he quickly sees that he was right. With their group's arrival, it seems as if theyâve doubled the player count on this server.
Tango glances over the names, wondering if heâll recognize any of them and heâs pleasantly surprised to see so many names from the Life Games, looking forward to talking with them without the whole threat of âwe need to kill each other eventuallyâ looming above them. And then he sees it.
Towards the bottom of the list, sitting right above his own name, lies the name SolidarityGaming.
Oh.
Oh shit.
Theyâre on the EmpiresSMP server.
Tango quickly turns around to dart back through the portal, but itâs already closed. And if Grian said it was just active like it was when he went down to check on it, then they have no way to get back to the Hermitcraft server. Which means Tango is stuck here. It means he canât avoid his dread or Jimmy anymore.
===============================
So, remember when I said this was going to be a two-parter?
What if... I told you guys that while I was writing this, I changed my mind and made it three parts???
Uh.. surprise?

Summary: Tango and Jimmy are the first ones out in Double Life. They talk for a bit, and Tango says some things heâs going to regret.
This is inspired by @cramblm! She made a comic a while back about these two, and I was (FINALLY) motivated to write something again :DÂ
This is also part one of a two-part little story!! Iâm not sure when part two will be up, but yeah! If you like this one, I hope you guys look forward to the next part!
CW: Team Ranchers angst, thatâs about it
Word count: 1,203 words
[Part 1] [Part 2]
===============================
Tango looks down at the server, floating above everything. He idly rubs his arm. He can almost still feel the phantom pains of the enderman ripping into Jimmy, and by association, himself.
Huh. So this is what itâs like.
Itâs oddly peaceful. Obviously there's still chaos going on below him as the last of the serverâs peace crumbles away, but this was⌠different. Tango had died before in these games of course, but never first. Itâs weirdly calm. And lonely.
Tango then hears the sound of rustling fabric, and his heart aches. He doesnât need to look to know who it isâno one else has perma-died yet. Tango doesnât want to look; so, he stares forward. They float in silence for several minutes before Jimmy breaks the silence.
âTango,â the half-avian starts, âIâm.. Iâm really sorry. I didnât mean-â
âYouâre still here.â Itâs less of a question and more of a statement.
Jimmy glances away and fiddles with the necklace heâs wearing. It matches the one Tango wears, given to him by Jimmy after the first session. â... Well, yeah. I.. I donât want.. I, uh, didnât-âÂ
Tango cuts him off, his tone coming out harsher than he had intended. âWhy are you still here?â
â.. I could ask you the same thing,â he responds quietly after a momentâs hesitation. He looks out at the server and then reaches for Tangoâs hand. âCâmon, itâs rough to watch at the start sometimes, we should-â
Tango snatches his hand back, keeping it close to his chest. âWe should what, Jimmy? We canât do anything. Weâre dead.â
âWe can at least go somewhere that wonât see so much bloodshed.â Despite the tone Tango is taking with him, Jimmyâs own voice remains soft and patient. âWe can go back to the ranch.â He sounds a little hopeful. Tango ignores it.
âAnd then what? Just wait around and welcome everyone as they die? Pretend that everything is fine and that we havenât just come in dead last?â Tangoâs tail flicks angrily back and forth, and the flames in his hair burn a little brighter. âThereâs nothing we can do.â
Tango isnât upset about coming in last. Heâs never come close to winning before, and itâs never bothered him all that much. He doesnât understand why heâs so angry all of a sudden. The blaze-hybrid hasnât once looked away from the soon-to-be-destroyed landscape. He hasnât once looked at Jimmy.
Tango releases a heavy sigh. âItâs over, Jimmy.â
They both know Tango is talking about more than just their time in the game.
Tango can almost sense Jimmy tenseâcan feel the faint panic and hurt spread in his own chest despite their link already being severed and fading. Maybe he just knows Jimmy that well. Maybe Tango doesnât want to go through with this.
â.. What?? No, Tango, donât- donât say that..!â Jimmy raises his voice for the first time. âThis isnât-! I-it canât be-!â
âIt can be, and it is. We donât know if something like this,â he gestures to the server in front of them, âwill ever happen again, and if it does, I donât see us teaming up again in the future.â What Tango fails to elaborate on is that he doesnât think heâd be that lucky enough to have Jimmy on his team again.
Jimmy tries to reach for Tango again. âPlease, donât say that. Weâre the Ranchers..!â
âNO! Weâre not the Ranchers anymore!â Tango finally snaps his head in Jimmyâs direction, the flames in his hair and tail flickering and growing as his emotions do. ââThe Ranchersâ are gone! They were something that the psychos who created these games influenced and forced, and now theyâre gone, Jimmy! That wasn't real!âÂ
But, oh, how he wants this to be real. Somewhere along the way, Tango found himself catching feelings for the half-avian. Despite their situation, he always seemed to be so optimistic and confident. Even when the ranch was burned down and Tango lost it, Jimmy remained (mostly) level-headed and helped get Tango to calm down despite getting burnt by his flames. And yeah, if it had been anyone else heâd accidentally hurt, he wouldâve felt bad, but it felt even worse because it was Jimmy. Jimmy, who always found a reason to smile. Jimmy, who always put up with everyoneâs crap. Jimmy, who apologized to Tango when they found out they were bound despite Tango being the one to lose their first life and being the reason the two found out they were bound in the first place. Jimmy, who didnât deserve this kind of fate but received it for a third time now.
Ah, so thatâs why heâs angry. Because this cruel, sick game has done nothing but take from and torment this saint of a player.
And maybe thatâs why heâd been partnered with Tango.Â
Because fire destroys everything it touches, and the expression on Jimmyâs face is proof of that.
Tango quickly looks away. He canât bear to see the pain and betrayal in Jimmyâs eyes. âJust.. just go home, Jimmy.â
Jimmyâs voice wavers with one last attempt. âTango, please-â
âGo,â his flames flare up once again, and even in death, their temperature rises. Tangoâs arms are wrapped tightly around himself now.
Jimmy hesitates for another moment before floating off in the direction of their the ranch, leaving Tango alone like heâd requested. It isnât until heâs sure that Jimmyâs gone that he slowly lowers to the ground, kneeling in the grass.
He carefully uncrosses his arms and touches the charm on his necklace, a feather carved from iron. It wonât melt with your flames Jimmy had once said, nervously beaming as he handed it over and showed his own charm to Tango (a flame, also carved from iron). Tango exhales shakily, tracing over the ridges on the pendant. He stays there for a long time, just staring at the pendant and desperately wishing that this wasnât how things had turned out.
Tango doesnât know how long heâs kneeling there when the second lightning strike sounds, indicating another two members have fallen. He takes a deep breath and hides the pendant beneath his shirt before getting up and floating in the direction of where he heard the lightning strike. Did it come from the Box..? Yeah, that sounds close enough.Â
As he makes his way over there, he risks a glance over to the ruined ranch and sees Jimmy sitting at their graves, leaning against Tangoâs. Tango looks away quickly, but he stops, hesitating on continuing to the Box. At this point, his anger has subsided and has morphed to guilt and regret. He wants to go to Jimmy and apologizeâto tell him he didnât mean it, but would Jimmy take him back? Would he want to try for something that was genuinely real and not influenced by whoever put them into this mess? What would Tango even say to make up for what he said??
Tango decides to settle on the plan of giving them both some space. He needs to think about how heâs going to apologize, and, if the roles were reversed, he wouldnât want to see Jimmy again so soon.Â
So he continues on his way, scared to give Jimmy and the ranch another glance.
===============================
Hope you guys enjoyed :) I worked on this instead of school work haha
