old fic, new plot. with no memories of his previous adventures, grian continues on to season 8 of hermitcraft. but what if danger lurks in the timelines, and what if everything gets erased? will he be able to stop this before it's too late? after a good year of having no idea how to start this fic off, i've finally returned to present to you~ ahem, drumroll please~ SMILE REWRITTEN i hope you enjoy and have a good time reading. - sofiaJR123, or as i now go by; diino.

Grian has escaped his horrible high school years, finally happy away from Sam in Hermitcraft. One day, Mumbo goes missing, and Grian finds out that an old friend of his might have to do with it. (I use Grumbo purely PLATONICALLY. Also, the cover art is not mine.)

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

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. (The cover is literally just a picture of a galaxy about 140 million light years away taken by NASA) Total word count: approx. 40,000

Xelqua is a Prime admin. But little did his friends know, he escaped from the watchers. He got invited to the Hermitcraft server, and became known as Grian. But then, strange symbols began to appear, and things started happening to the players. Grian once watched as his sever and friends were torn apart on Evo. Will history repeat itself? Eyyy, my first story. Probably gonna lose inspiration halfway. Don't expect anything good or fast updates though. No shipping, sorry if that was what you came for. No swearing.

[NOW COMPLETED] Read the intro chapter for more info and details :)) includes some shipping! minecraft personas only. no smut

If anyone wants to join, feel free! If people come, this club will be a place to meet new people and chat with your friends about story ideas or anything.

No matter how much they try, the watchers will always be on their tails. Despite this, the hermits have absolutely no idea about any of it.

The screen flickered, distorting for a moment, then played a fuzzy video. They could barely make out what was happening, but it was enough. And what they saw would change everything that they knew. Things aren't what they seem to be. - Some information before you start the story... - This book will contain cursing. - Respawn mechanisms are not implemented. X has put a code into each player that allows them to respawn during Demise. - This WILL hint at some shipping, but there's nothing really romantic here. - This was originally published on June 27, 2020 and was completed on January 21, 2020. - The total word count for this fic is 28,813. DISCLAIMER: Like I said, this book hints at a bit of shipping. To clarify, I write ships based on the Hermits' Minecraft personas and not their actual IRL selves. None of this content is meant to offend anyone, it's purely a writing hobby. If any of the Hermits find any of my content disrespectful or uncomfortable, I have no problem in taking it down. With all this said, enjoy the story!
