Gods I suck at descriptions, here we go anyway. "Come home to us, Xelqua. Come back to us." "Shut up! Just shut up, I'm not going with you! Give me one reason why I should even consider that!" "Come home or we'll kill them." "..." "Well, Xelqua, what is your choice?" I finally fixed the cover! This story is a lot like the wonderful @LunaStarSeeker's amazing Fight or Flight. By a lot, I mean the first part is almost a rewrite but it does split off for her story eventually. The only thing that's that different is that Grian was a watcher but I'll explain more in the story. I don't want to ramble but as I said, I can't write descriptions. (Cover not mine. It belongs to stargaazinglilly on Tumblr. She makes amazing Grian art. Check her out.) https://stargaazinglilly.tumblr.com/post/614425967242379264/fan-art-for-fic-the-weight-of-lies-link-to

December 31st. The cursed day. While most families were still enjoying the cheers of christmas, 30 kids, no more, no less would be taken from their homes. They would be trained to become watchers- powerful being with a heart as hard as bedrock, and a soul harder than obsidian. Surely Techno and Grian weren't chosen? But luck was never on their side. TWs: Blood, torture, mentioned suicide, kidnapping, panic attacks, self harm. No shipping, only brother-like relationships for close characters.

||Story Name Was Previously "Watched"|| Grian was never trusted. Not by the Watchers. They hated him for his thoughts. Though he tried to prove them wrong, and to show them that he was trustworthy, they refuse to believe him. He WAS the only Watcher who ever had a disobedient thought. Now, he's been teleported to a strange land called Hermitcraft. No one trusts him there. Why should they? Trust is just a lie to Grian. It always will be. Or will it?

Grian has found refuge and safety in Hermitcraft. However, his past is quickly catching up to him, and with it comes the pain that he's been trying so desperately to hide. As Grian tries to run from his past, he runs into something much more dangerous: the truth. #1 in watchers - 4/5/22 #1 in grian - 4/23/22 #1 in evo - 6/3/22 #3 in hermitcraft - 9/2/24

Grian was just minding his own business, dancing around the treetops in his jungle home, when disaster struck. HCBBS. No one knew what it meant, until they arrived. The Dream SMP. And even worse, some of them had the same powers the Hermits had, in a world where no powers should be doubled. Will this work out? What sparks will the two groups create? And what about the even more powerful beings, watching from a faraway kingdom? Watch these three kingdoms clash together and create sparks brighter than what anyone has seen. THANK YOU TO @Pillopuppy FOR MAKING THE AMAZING COVER ART! TYSM :D ⚠~Warnings~⚠ Swears (some) Ships (will be explained in the introduction) Blood Disclaimer: I do not own the Dream SMP or Hermitcraft, nor any of the characters in this story except for River.

Grian's life was shattered into a million pieces a long time ago. So long ago, he didn't know whether it was ever even whole. When he joined Hermitcraft after running away from the Watchers, it was starting to come together, until season eight began and his life was thrown into chaos. The Watchers were there, and he didn't even know if they were good or bad anymore. He didn't know who to be scared of. And he was forced to question everything in silence, finding refuge only in his magic. And unfortunately for him, things don't always go the way he might have expected - not that he really had any expectations, anyway. There is some mild swearing.

~ AVAILABLE ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/164434193X ~ She hated riding the subway. It was cramped, smelled, and the seats were extremely uncomfortable to sit on for hours on end. Now add a group of crazy mask-wearing, weapon-wielding, maniacs to the ever growing list of reasons why Gemma hated riding the subway. Gemma Conners is your average eighteen year old and for the past two years she's been riding the subway to and from school with no problem. She always expected the same ol' same ol'. Cramped spaces, hard seats, and perverts staring her up and down and "accidentally" bumping into her and blaming it on the train as it jostled people into one another. Never did she expect a group of masked men to rush in and hold everyone onboard hostage, demanding that they all play along with their sick and twisted idea of a "game". It was either that or die. To add on to her ever growing list of problems, one of the passengers onboard just so happens to be Archer Daniels, your typical high school "heartthrob" and Gemma's classmate. Her day just kept getting better and better. With Gemma's luck, she'd be lucky if she lasted five minutes. Yep. She really hated the subway. *Book Cover Credit: Irah Marie* Thanks again for making such an AMAZING cover!❤️

Rei, a former samurai lieutenant is reincarnated into the body of an 8 year old, who happens to be the main villainess in a romance novel for foreign girls. A villainess destined to be executed by her fiancé the crown prince for cruelty towards the heroine of the novel. To avoid being executed she must to make allies among her enemies, get out of the heroine's way, and untangle herself from the poisonous intrigue of court the best she can in the role of a future courtier. However, the vaguely described backdrop said nothing about the conflicts building beyond the heroine's understanding, or that women weren't allowed on the battlefield. I am honestly left speechless. I am very touched and honored by all the attention, by all the sweet, beautiful and fun comments I've received over the last month, it's been truly amazing. To those who already enjoy it, I hope you will continue to do so. To those who decide to pick it up, I hope you have as much fun with it as I did!
