✮ Brother Trouble ✮

Might not be exactly what was requested, and this story is a little shorter than usual (sorry) but I hope you enjoy it anyway! :)

I've never written or seen DSMP, I know some lore from various tiktoks and gacha videos, but I thought why not give it a try? I hope it's somewhat accurate, but then again, it's fanfiction. I also know there's a lot of controversy around some of the players from DSMP but I am not caught up with all that.

The Rift - as Grian had dubbed it - was a purple crack in the cliffside of his base, ebbing and flowing with the Watcher magic Grian had dispensed into it in when he accidentally created it, as prayers from the hermits had been fueling the magic and he had nowhere else to let go of the magic to avoid a forced transformation into his Watcher-form. Unfortunately Xisuma had detected the magic, and that had led to a whole reveal of his Watcher-self, but fortunately all of the hermits had been understanding and accepting of him, and most had even stopped praying to him after that - some still did it to mess with him or out of habit which didn't bother the parrot.

The rift had been a mystery to all for its whole existence, even Grian who created it and - as a Watcher - had a pretty good understanding of magic. Recently it had been acting up, a portal forming just like the one that took them to Empires a few weeks earlier.
"Where do you think this will take us this time?" Xisuma asked, looking at the purple portal.
Grian shrugged, "I honestly don't know, even with my Watcher background I don't understand the Rift, one thing I do know is that wherever we go it's connected to me"
"Huh, well there's only one way to find out then"

All the hermits stood lined up in front of the glowing portal in Grians cliffside, all anticipating whatever was behind the purple glow.
"Well, let's see where this goes" Grian shrugged as he took the first step into the mist of violet hues.

A bright white light blinded him for a few seconds before squinting, making him see his surroundings, as more hermits appeared by his side, watcher eyes opened around him to let him take in the whole server at once.

He recognized the server, during his time with the Watchers he had watched over the server as one very dear to him had his home here - his brother, Tommy. While he wasn't the son of Philza, he had lived with the crow for a while and learned a lot of his avian knowlegde from him and saw Tommy as much as a brother as one could.

His eyes landed on the other blonde and an unfamiliar man a little away from the hermits, the two males were fighting. His brother looked as he remembered, blonde curly hair, blue eyes and his classic red and white t-shirt. The other man was attacking him, he was taller, blonde hair as well, he wore a green hoodie and a white smiley-face mask covering his face.

Rage coursed through the watchers veins as he saw his brother loosing. The watcher teleported himself and the hermits to the two fighting males, and then he teleported between them, full Watcher-form and the fight stopped, both looking in fear at the Deity in front of them.

"A- A watcher" Dream stuttered as his eyes fell on the being in front of him, the fight with Tommy was forgotten and he fled the scene. The Watcher turned towards the equally terrified Tommy who hadn't seen his brother since before the Watchers turned him. "Please don't hurt me" he begged and Grian chuckled, transforming back to the usual parrot-form the hermits knew him as, still, it took Tommy a few seconds to clock who was standing in front of him, only realizing it when Grian added, "why would I hurt my own brother?"

The two brothers hugged and then talked, the two catching each other up on what had happened since last time and that was a lot. The hermits gave the two brothers their space.

"So, since I created EVO as you know I disappeared, that was because the Watchers took me and turned me into one of them, it was horrible, but I ended up escaping and joining a server called Hermitcraft filled with lovely people" Grian explained in short terms, curious to hear what his brother had experienced. "Your turn"

"Okay, I became best friends with an enderman and a bee-hybrid who are boyfriends, and Wilbur dated a fish and got a child that's a fox, and that guy you saw me fight is called Dream and we have some trouble getting along, oh! and Wilbur also exploded a whole nation"

Tommy explained further and often laughed at the oddity of the story, the iconic laugh that Grian had came to enjoy, "Well, it seems like we both have very colorful pasts" Grian joined in on the laugh and as the conversation came to a halt, Grian smirked and asked "Do you want to go and scare Dream some more?"

"Of course!" Tommy replied with an equal smirk

Xisuma had watched the exhange, first with amusement, then horror, as he realised the two were family, and then how similar they were. He could somewhat... he could almost handle one Grian, but two? That might be too much for even the Watchers.
