"Each world has its own story. Even if you tried to get a story from me, I wouldn't be able to tell you half of it. There is so much life in each build and block, and each event has told their own tale.

But it has to start somewhere."

Fate has the oddest ways of getting people together.
It might tear your world apart as you know it.
It might give you loss and grief.
It might even show you a side that you never knew you had.
But it does all this for a reason.
What is that reason?
Well...
You'll have to find out.
This is the origin of how Hermitcraft came to be. 

Just remember--
Every end of a story is a new beginning for another.

-

Some information before you start the story:
- This story takes place before Hermitcraft officially started, so maybe 7-8 years ago or so. 
- Despite this, though, the world is set in 1.13/1.14.
- If you die, it's permanent. There are no respawn mechanisms.
- The backstories for each character are based around events that happened in Season 6, which might not be relevant in seasons to come.
- The total word count for this story is 49,001. It was originally published on October 16, 2019.
- I try to mention each Hermit at least once, but I might have missed some.

DISCLAIMER: This book does hint at a bit of shipping. 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 that being said, enjoy the story!

Awaken (Hermitcraft Fanfiction) by JadedSundragon
28 parts Complete
We must focus on guiding the Magic; not controlling it. For it is through controlling it we allow it to control ourselves. Time between dimensions is in a constant state of flux. There is no way of saying how many years have passed, nor how many will. However, the saying remains the same: "Yesterday was history, Tomorrow is a mystery, But today is a gift. That is why it is called the present." =+=+=+= This is another Hermitcraft fanfiction, set in a season eight/nine AU (Evolution-EmpiresS1-HCS8-HCS9-Watcher AU). I don't own any of the characters; they belong to the Hermits as their Minecraft Personas. This book also sporadically features Evolution and Empires SMP characters. Pearl is the main character, but there are a few backstories followed as well. The first part of the chapter will always be Pearl, and the second a backstory (with a few exceptions when the chapter gets extra-long). Answer the chapter questions if you feel like it, even if you live in the mysterious future. I don't ship. I'm not certain about the hermit preferences, so I'd prefer to leave that to them and portray all of them as amazing friends (which they are). =+=+=+= There will be angst to satisfy your hunger. Enjoy, fellow angst-thirsty hermittpadders. If you're a hermit from Hermitcraft, an emperor from Empires, a former Evolutionist, or involved in some central way to this story reading this and you dislike the content, I am more than happy to edit or take the story down entirely. I respect the wishes of those I fanfiction about. Cover design made with Canva.
When the Universe Smiles (abandoned) ((go read the Trilogy)) by magicallity-

THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH TO @BridgetTh3B1RD FOR MAKING ME THE COVER FOR THE STORY AYYYEEE!!!!! ~ Welcome to my first ever book! This is my take on And the Universe Shifts if my OC was in it in the happenings of S7. (I suggest you go read ATUS first if you haven't. It's on Ao3) In this storyline, the Watchers weren't actually killed (I'll explain how and why later in the book). And they are the only two Watchers in existence (unlike the finale in ATUS, where Grian states that there will be more coming to claim the territory). Warnings and heads up: Yeah, there'll probably be some pain, angst, gore, etc. It's an adventure book; what can I say. Also, no shipping to be found 'ere. Go find another book if you're lookin' for that... (internally saying: rubbish) (externally saying:) kind of material. If ya can't tell, I'm not one for shipping irl peeps. Trust me, if it came to Ninjago or Star Wars, I'd be shipping them more than anyone. XD Um, really no cussing in this book. Very mild at most, since I rarely ever cuss irl. If you have any questions, leave a comment and I will answer as soon as I can. And now, on with the show! ~ "All I ever wanted was to have a normal life! I never asked for these 'gifts,' these powers. They convinced I was one of them because of it. But I know better now..." Maya had been convinced all her life that she was Watcher. When she found out the truth, "they" hurt her and broke her. Running from her past, Maya stumbled upon Hermitcraft, one big, dysfunctional family. Little does she know that they're hiding someone among them... someone who could help her take "them" down. Once. And. For all... Legends and myths rise in this fan fiction, and one will be changed forever...

Welcome to the land of [[ENTER WORLD NAME HERE]], where the sun is always shining, the birds are always singing, and the friends you'll meet along the way are your buds for life! Who needs to worry about the past when we have the now? Who needs to worry about the events that happened [[valueTIME=not_found]] ago? What events am I referring to? ... I actually don't know! Silly me, so forgetful. Enjoy your stay, and remember to leave a 5 star rating on the app store! ----------- This is the sequel to Unrecognizable! I'd highly, HIGHLY recommend you read that before coming here. It's worth your time, I promise! (Also, you might not understand anything otherwise.) This is set in [[SEASON#]] and canon events have happened up until around June 20th, 2020. There should be minimal blood/gore because Minecraft I can not confirm nor deny the possible Permadeath. ------------ Do not expect this to be updated regularly! ------------ 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. NOTE: THE (NON-OC) CHARACTERS IN THIS AU ARE THE HERMITS MINECRAFT SONAS, NOT THEIR REAL SELVES. ANY ASSUMPTIONS, PERSONALITIES, ETC. ARE TO BE REFLECTED IN THE CHARACTERS, NOT THE REAL LIFE PEOPLE. Thank you. ---------- Update 11/23/2024: In light of recent events, Unrecognizable will be put on indefinite hiatus. I do not know if I will continue writing it. I apologize to those that enjoyed reading it, but I do not believe that I can, in good conscience, continue the series as things currently stand. ---------- Join the server! https://discord.gg/tmZ3fu3dj7 ---------- Anyway, I hope you enjoy, my little Readers! Promise IN! ----------- Begin date: November 19, 2021 End date: N/A

When trying to repair a mysteriously obsidian-clogged conduit, Impulse suddenly sees what appears to be a shark. Confused, he swims closer to get a better look... oh no. That's not a shark. As the creature tightens its hold on the server, bringing more and more of the Hermits under its control, and Tango turns up scared and with a broken arm, the message starts to become apparent: Trust no one. Not even your friends. Especially not your friends. After all, that leaves you Playing Open-Handed. This book is a sequel to another of my stories, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, but you don't necessarily need to read that to understand most of what happens. Enjoy! --- Story by me Inspiration and characters from Hermitcraft Witty comments (but actually not the lore this time) with help from ausforyou (Okay, this time I'm gonna put a monologue from Henry V because why the hell not, nobody reads this far into the description anyway: Thus says my king to Harry of England: Though we seemed dead, we did but sleep. We could have rebuked you at Harfleur, but that we thought it not good to bruise an injury till it were full ripe. Therefore, consider of your ransom, which must proportion the losses we have borne, the subjects we have lost and the disgrace we have digested, which in weight to re-assess, England's pettiness would bow under. Indeed, your own person, kneeling at our feet, is but a weak and worthless satisfaction of our losses. To this, add defiance: you hath betrayed your followers, whose condemnation is pronounced. So much my king and master bids tell you, so much my office.)

FINISHED Reposted bc fuck it. I no longer associate with most of these stories and do not agree with what happens im them. Short connected oneshots, some with shipping and some without. A book of stories I wrote about Hermitcraft member's Minecraft PERSONA'S. There are many shipping stories, I write fluff, lime, and angst. Many of my stories in the same AU/world which is a really basic Minecraft one, but many stories too that do not have a connection with the others. I made the cover picture.
