There's a thing about portals. We're not talking about nether portals or end portals. We're talking about rifts. Portals to other worlds. There's a certain feeling that they give off. Like a tug in your stomach, the slight feeling that there's something just not quite right about the place. But you can never be sure until the portal appears. And you can't be certain until something comes out of it. 

Or, in this case, someone. 

It started with a small crack in the wall but grew to be a far larger problem than anyone could imagine. 



Star's Notes;

- For convenience, Skizz is a Hermit and part of the Soup Group in season nine. This was easier than making up a whole bunch of lore for him. 

- Everything in here is strictly platonic, and the most amazing bestie love you could imagine! 

- These characters do not belong to me! They belong to the AMAZING creators who made this content. 

- Props to InTheLittleWood (Martyn) for all the lore inspiration.

Awaken (Hermitcraft Fanfiction) by JadedSundragon
28 parts Complete
We must focus on guiding the Magic; not controlling it. For it is through controlling it we allow it to control ourselves. Time between dimensions is in a constant state of flux. There is no way of saying how many years have passed, nor how many will. However, the saying remains the same: "Yesterday was history, Tomorrow is a mystery, But today is a gift. That is why it is called the present." =+=+=+= This is another Hermitcraft fanfiction, set in a season eight/nine AU (Evolution-EmpiresS1-HCS8-HCS9-Watcher AU). I don't own any of the characters; they belong to the Hermits as their Minecraft Personas. This book also sporadically features Evolution and Empires SMP characters. Pearl is the main character, but there are a few backstories followed as well. The first part of the chapter will always be Pearl, and the second a backstory (with a few exceptions when the chapter gets extra-long). Answer the chapter questions if you feel like it, even if you live in the mysterious future. I don't ship. I'm not certain about the hermit preferences, so I'd prefer to leave that to them and portray all of them as amazing friends (which they are). =+=+=+= There will be angst to satisfy your hunger. Enjoy, fellow angst-thirsty hermittpadders. If you're a hermit from Hermitcraft, an emperor from Empires, a former Evolutionist, or involved in some central way to this story reading this and you dislike the content, I am more than happy to edit or take the story down entirely. I respect the wishes of those I fanfiction about. Cover design made with Canva.

THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH TO @BridgetTh3B1RD FOR MAKING ME THE COVER FOR THE STORY AYYYEEE!!!!! ~ Welcome to my first ever book! This is my take on And the Universe Shifts if my OC was in it in the happenings of S7. (I suggest you go read ATUS first if you haven't. It's on Ao3) In this storyline, the Watchers weren't actually killed (I'll explain how and why later in the book). And they are the only two Watchers in existence (unlike the finale in ATUS, where Grian states that there will be more coming to claim the territory). Warnings and heads up: Yeah, there'll probably be some pain, angst, gore, etc. It's an adventure book; what can I say. Also, no shipping to be found 'ere. Go find another book if you're lookin' for that... (internally saying: rubbish) (externally saying:) kind of material. If ya can't tell, I'm not one for shipping irl peeps. Trust me, if it came to Ninjago or Star Wars, I'd be shipping them more than anyone. XD Um, really no cussing in this book. Very mild at most, since I rarely ever cuss irl. If you have any questions, leave a comment and I will answer as soon as I can. And now, on with the show! ~ "All I ever wanted was to have a normal life! I never asked for these 'gifts,' these powers. They convinced I was one of them because of it. But I know better now..." Maya had been convinced all her life that she was Watcher. When she found out the truth, "they" hurt her and broke her. Running from her past, Maya stumbled upon Hermitcraft, one big, dysfunctional family. Little does she know that they're hiding someone among them... someone who could help her take "them" down. Once. And. For all... Legends and myths rise in this fan fiction, and one will be changed forever...

When trying to repair a mysteriously obsidian-clogged conduit, Impulse suddenly sees what appears to be a shark. Confused, he swims closer to get a better look... oh no. That's not a shark. As the creature tightens its hold on the server, bringing more and more of the Hermits under its control, and Tango turns up scared and with a broken arm, the message starts to become apparent: Trust no one. Not even your friends. Especially not your friends. After all, that leaves you Playing Open-Handed. This book is a sequel to another of my stories, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, but you don't necessarily need to read that to understand most of what happens. Enjoy! --- Story by me Inspiration and characters from Hermitcraft Witty comments (but actually not the lore this time) with help from ausforyou (Okay, this time I'm gonna put a monologue from Henry V because why the hell not, nobody reads this far into the description anyway: Thus says my king to Harry of England: Though we seemed dead, we did but sleep. We could have rebuked you at Harfleur, but that we thought it not good to bruise an injury till it were full ripe. Therefore, consider of your ransom, which must proportion the losses we have borne, the subjects we have lost and the disgrace we have digested, which in weight to re-assess, England's pettiness would bow under. Indeed, your own person, kneeling at our feet, is but a weak and worthless satisfaction of our losses. To this, add defiance: you hath betrayed your followers, whose condemnation is pronounced. So much my king and master bids tell you, so much my office.)
