    Summary

    Watchers were supposed to be worshipped. It’s their source of powers as minor deities, after all.

    Grian, who wanted nothing more than to forget his Watcher past, was quite happy not to be worshipped at all. So when the Hermits collectively started praying to Xelqua and Grian started to gain a lot of Watcher magic, it put a real damper on his mood, health, self-perception and his relationships. With Mumbo gone off-world, it was now up to Scar, Pearl and Xisuma to worry about him – if Grian would let them. But Grian was nothing if not stubborn. He’d get through this alone, right?

    ..Right?

    Summary

    "I don't want to pry," Xisuma said when they were speaking before his official invitation to join. "And not answering won't change whether or not you get whitelisted. We admins just prefer to have a heads up if anything's likely to come trying to dig you up, so we can keep you and everyone else safe."

    Grian thought back to obsidian and endstone and blood, to tattered wings and torn robes and so so many unseeable eyes, and swallowed hard.

    "No," he said, his voice shaky. "No, I don't think anyone will come looking for me."

    "Okay," Xisuma answered, and that was that.

    Until they invited two new people to the server.

    or, the Hermitcraft Backstory Rule says that you don't ask other people about their backstory, you let them tell it if they want to and leave it be if they don't.

    Unfortunately for Grian, one of the newest Hermits was also a player on his old server - one he'd thought had been dead for years - and she's going to drag his backstory kicking and screaming into the light whether she means to or not.

    Summary

    Anything could be fixed by a little bit of sleep. At least, that's what Grian kept repeating to himself as he tossed in his bed, trying not to think about Pearl. The sun had set hours ago, and he still couldn’t get his mind to shut down. When he finally felt a wave of sleep threaten to knock him out, there was a knock at the door.

    Grian was going to kill whoever was making him get out of bed. Mumbo would have the audacity, but was usually in bed by this hour anyway. Scar was the more likely suspect.

    He opened the door, a smile halfway on his face as he geared up to throw some insults and scolding at Scar. Instead, he saw a familiar face. One he’d hoped he’d never see again.

    Summary

    After an interaction with Scar left Etho realizing just how little he knew about Grian, he decided that it wouldn't hurt to pay more attention to the rambunctious builder.

    What he observed, however, was not what he anticipated.

    (Yeah.. he was definitely going to have to do something about this.)
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In which Etho and Joel are socially awkward and concerned, an impromptu intervention happens, and Grian is okay but also kinda not.

    Summary

    "Stripped raw of the aliases, the suit and tie, the lies, the mystery, what will Alex see? Stanley hefts up a bag by the strap and runs a self-conscious hand through their shoulder-length grey curls. They look over to Ford, who meets their eyes with his own barely-concealed panic. He smiles, though, and simply nods to Stan.

    Time for the both of them to put their wishful thinking to the test."

    (Stanley and Stanford visit the kids and their parents in Piedmont, and end up dealing with the fallout of last summer. Demons and monsters are a lot for two average adults from Piedmont to grasp, but the gender stuff doesn't help either.)
