Grian can't help but notice that Doc has been very secretive about his project lately, and it's really bothering Ren. And, now that he thinks about it, Scar's been rather absent as well. With tensions on the server running high, can Grian investigate without all heck breaking loose? Be ready for drama, mystery, and danger (with a happy ending). [No longer posting here, moved to Ao3]

MaGiC sUcKs ~Yes, this is another Watcher/Hermitcraft story. ~No, there is no shipping. Set during Season 6 because this story came out two days after Season 7. -I only own the people with the weird names. (Not Xelqua.) This is fanfiction. I do not own the Hermits nor do I write for them. I write about the characters they present to us on screen. -Book cover made on Desygner, background found by searching "old book cover backgrounds"

Something strange begins to happen to Grian, and he leaves the Island for information. But of course, his fellow Hermits have to come rescue him. He spends some time recovering and thinks it's all in the past. But after accidentally poisoning Mumbo, Grian discoveres the story isn't quite over yet.

Mumbo's been missing for three months, working on "a project." But three months is a long time with no sight of him... So what is he doing? --- This is set in Season Seven, and canon events have happened up to around June 20th, 2020. There should be minimal blood/gore because minecraft I can not confirm nor deny the possible Permadeath --- Sequel out now! -------- Anyway, I hope you enjoy, my little Readers! -------- Ranked #1 in HermitCraft on 2-4-2021 NOTE: THIS AU DOES NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM IMPLY/ACT ON ANY ROMANTIC SHIPPING BETWEEN HERMITS. Any relationships in this AU are purely platonic.
