Summary: False was taken eleven years ago from the home she'd known, when she was eight.
She changed. She adapted. She was made into something else.
When she was seventeen, she escaped.
But she couldn't return to Hermitville, where her friends were. Because she was no longer False - she was someone else, she was what the kingdom had forced her to become - she was their reigning champion - she was the Queen of Hearts and Body Parts.
So she watched them from afar.
Because who would want a person as a friend that was so broken inside that she had killed because she'd been forced to, threatened innocents because she'd been forced to, and fought battles side by side the one person she hated the most - the man she'd been forced to marry at sixteen years of age?
Was she so messed up that she wanted to rip her husband to shreds? Because she did. So, so, badly...
And maybe she deserved the same to be done to her.

Summary: Xisuma finds himself waking up without his memory in the End, with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. It's clear he should get out, but this isn't as easy as he thought, since he has no idea what he is doing.

However, this is not the only thing that went weird on the server...

Will the Hermits manage to get to the bottom of this with their admin in a state like that?

Summary: The universe was a strange place, and nobody knew that more than the hermits. Each one has been to many worlds and seen many things, though some of the craziest things they'd seen had happened once they became a hermit. The future was holding more in store for them, though not all of it would be enjoyable. The future had plans for the hermits and those plans would take all they had to overcome.

Grian and Scar take the brunt of an unfortunate situation caused by a strange entity that calls itself "The Jungle" and need to overcome it, but Scar is trapped and the hermits seem to have completely lost any and all memory of the two hermits. With the mysterious magic having taken over the server and the identities of Grian and Scar being nearly lost to the hermits, they desperately try to evade their captor and regain their home.
