The members of Hermitcraft are only a few months into their eighth season, yet something is already stirring in their server. One day, Xisuma calls the Hermits for an emergency meeting stating their code has been tampered with by the watchers. What they don't know is that Grian used to be one of these mythical gods, and he's done something to anger them that can't be reversed. Grian, despite his better judgement, keeps his secret to himself, afraid that the Hermits won't accept who he really is. But what happens when secrets are forced to the surface? When morals and relationships are tested? When all the forces of the Universe seem to be going against the ones who are still trying to write their story? Because when you've angered an entire group of intergalactic beings, and when you're keeping a secret that billions of lives depend on, no friendship or partnership is sacred. TW's: Some torture Mentions of death/themes of death and grief Some minor stabbing Some minor poison Imprisonment Maybe a tiny bit of blood? and ✨gayness✨ as also stated in the A/N.

Scar, a 19-year-old trainee cop, chases a suspect from a bank robbery through a narrow alley late at night. The criminal-who looks disturbingly close to Scar's own age-takes a sharp corner and vanishes without explanation, leaving Scar unsettled. The disappearance feels wrong, especially given rumors that the Yakuza have begun moving into the area, dangerously close to schools and young adults. Dispatch radios Scar, clearly relieved to hear he's alive, and orders him back to the station. His partner, Cub, picks him up, teasing him gently during the quiet drive as Scar sulks over losing the suspect. Upon arriving at the station, Scar expects to be yelled at-but instead, he's met with pitying looks from other officers, which only deepens his anxiety. Scar and Cub are called into their boss's office, where they're informed of a covert assignment. The department needs someone young enough to go undercover at a local college, and Scar is the only agent who fits. The boss reveals the target: Grian, a tired-looking 19-year-old suspected to be the son of a Yakuza family head. Scar's role will be to pose as a college student and become Grian's roommate. Cub protests, calling the plan reckless and unfair given Scar's age and inexperience. In response, the boss explains why Grian is so important: his presence coincides with unexplained failures in Yakuza operations. The department believes Grian is either being unknowingly used-or quietly sabotaging the organization from within. Either way, he's a critical variable. The mission hinges on one thing above all else: Grian has to trust Scar. And Scar realizes that this assignment isn't just dangerous-it may be tied to the mysterious criminal who vanished in the alley, and it will test everything he thinks he knows about justice, loyalty, and himself.

ART BY DOODY & MARUU ON WEBTOON/TUMBLR GO READ THEIR STORY. ITS AMAZING. A few months ago, Scar and his best friend Cub acted on a crazy idea that they believed would help the city, which led to Scar becoming HotGuy, a sort of superhero/vigilante who works alone, protecting the city nightly. Behind the scenes, however, he's a cat-loving architecture professor, who's lived in Hermit City long enough to know all of the villains and their M.O.s. Or, so he thought. When HotGuy comes across an avian mercenary one day while he's on duty, he is thoroughly confused as to why they seem to serve no one but themselves. He's even more anxious to figure out who - or what - they really are when he sees them use inhuman abilities. Something large is stirring in Hermit City, and two enemies must put aside their morals and differences and work together to save the city. This is technically a Scarian ship fic but nothing super serious between them is gonna happen until the next two books. ty guys sm for 666 reads! Lmao

A Hermitcraft Hero AU where healer Grian is caught between villains, heroes, Mumbo's overprotective instincts, and far too many cats. ------- Grian shifted on his feet, uncomfortable under the weight of the villain's gaze. They both knew the question hanging between them. Why is a healer here? Healers weren't allowed to live quietly. They were accounted for. Watched. Used. Not serving coffee in a cat café. When Phantom spoke again, his voice was steady in a way it hadn't been before. "I'm in your debt."

When Grian joined Hermitcraft, he had no idea how he'd gotten there. Or who he was (other than his name). In fact, he didn't remember anything about his past life at all. So he starts over on Hermitcraft, making new friends and starting a new life. However, as time goes by, he starts remembering more about himself, bit by bit, seeing his past life through dreams and memories.

Art isn't mine Grian is an exceptional news reporter, known for his sharp eye and fearless storytelling. His work takes him across the country-and sometimes the world-uncovering hidden truths, reporting from the heart of major events, and bringing stories to life with his engaging style. Whether investigating corruption, covering breaking news, or capturing the human side of a crisis, he always finds himself in the middle of the action. But when he takes a job in Hermit City, intending to settle into a quieter routine, he quickly realizes that the news never sleeps. As he dives into local stories, his keen instincts lead him to something-or someone-far more intriguing than he ever expected. And in a city where secrets lurk just beneath the surface, being an exceptional journalist might make him a target.

Grian is cursed, or at least, that's what it seems. Trapped against his will to play a cruel game and sacrificing himself for his friends, Grian knows little of happiness. Now forced to throw away his very humanity itself, he must learn to become one of the very beings that toyed with both him and his friends. Will the games ever end, or is he fated to a life of pain and anguish until the bitter end? Note: this contains a lot of angst. There are also a few scenes with blood, but nothing too graphic. (I'm pretty squeamish when it comes to blood myself).
