Summary
A collection of full-length recaps of livestreams from various Hermits, in which your humble recapper (me) devotes hours to watching Hermit streams and writing down what happens in a timestamped narrative format. If you didn't get a chance to watch somebody's livestream and you have no idea what's going on with a build or a new inside joke, hopefully this will help!
Names and dates for streams are given in the Chapter Index, I will do my best to keep these close to chronological order but I make no promises.

Summary
Grian is a grown adult hermit with a stable adult life and mature adult thoughts. That's why it's more than a little embarrassing when he starts coughing up flowers every time he thinks of his best friend Scar. Everybody knows that Hanahaki disease is a teenage thing, right up there with acne, voice crackles and growth spurts. Fixing it is as easy (or as difficult) as resolving your feelings for your crush, but that usually requires actually talking to that person. Grian is bound and determined to do things the hard way.
(Or, the Hanahaki fic where nobody coughs blood, nobody dies, nobody is compelled to love anybody else, and Grian gets teased by all his friends about his crush.)

Summary
Grumbot was created to answer questions. He was given a face and a voice of his own, and he was happy to use them to help his fathers in their quest for the Mayor's Office. He always did his best and he did a good job! That's why it was so hard to understand why Father began to silence him and use his voice to persuade Other Father of things that were not right. Things that were not good. Grumbot believed Father when he said he was sorry for hurting him, but how can sorry be enough when the hurting doesn't stop?

After One or Two False Starts, I Believe We've Found Our Stride by ETraytin

Summary
On a quiet summer night in Double Life, Jimmy and Tango talk about the past and the future, and the possibility of a happy ending. Jimmy doesn't believe that any love is wasted, and Tango doesn't believe in curses. It seems like a good base to work from.
Soft romantic Team Rancher, barely PG except for a couple of swear words.

Do You Know How to Go to the Heaviside Layer? by ETraytin

Summary
Pearl knows that the end of Double Life is getting close. She can feel it in the air, in the ground, in the bloodlust singing through her red, red arteries. In every game, there comes a point when nothing else matters but killing and dying... but maybe not quite yet. Maybe there's still a brief moment to feel something softer, to remember who she used to be.
After Grian and Scar die, Pearl hears a strange crying out in the woods.

Summary
Podfic of on the getaway mile by Odaigahara
“You want me to do what?” the civilian asked disbelievingly, and Scar’s body language shifted to that of an impatient trainer, one whose fuse was running short. It was a precursor to bad things, like being tased or forced onto a treadmill for hours; Mumbo flinched even knowing it was an act, and the civilian cut off with a squeak, so Mumbo knew he felt the same way.
Or possibly that was the gun. Scar having a gun seemed more likely as an explanation, now that Mumbo thought of it.
Stealing the car would be better, but they had no idea where they were going, and neither of them was familiar with road laws. What if they hit a person while driving? What if there was some sort of kill switch in the car that the owner could flip to blow it up with them inside? Anti-villain tech had to be wild, from what the Foundation had on hand– and they were villains now for sure. Not just for defying the Foundation, but for this. Heroes didn’t take the actions he and Scar were taking.

(Podfic) Traveling Thieves {Dark Fantasy AU} [Written By AmethystFairy1] by CurrantEP, Notos123
Fandom 3rd Life | Last Life SMP Series, Empires SMP, Hermitcraft SMP, Life Series | 3rd Life SMP Series
26 May 2025
Summary
This is a podfic of Amethystfairy's series Traveling Thieves, thank you so much to her for allowing me to do this podfic and to @boo_the_AHH for the advice and support!
Here is Amethsyt's Original series description:
A collection of all the stories in Traveling Thieves, which is my Dark Fantasy, Hybrid Slavery, super angsty AU that spawned from my Whumptober 2023 prompt fills! Currently in semi-chronological order except for the first fic in the series, which will always be “I see the danger, it’s written there in your eyes” which if anyone does want to read the series in chronological order, I’d like them to start there! ^-^ I also occasionally place some stories in specific locations that I think work best for the reading order that aren't exactly where they'd be timeline-wise!
WARNING: THIS IS A WHUMP-CENTRIC, ANGST-CENTRIC, HURT/COMFORT (SOMETIMES NO COMFORT) DARK FANTASY AU.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the tags before you dive into any stories of this one, this series is intended to be a place for me to try my hand at writing and exploring some darker themes.

Summary
Grian had collapsed onto the desk, hitting his head and in the process knocking himself so far out he was sparred the worst of it. Next thing he knew he was slumped over his desk with a bloody nose, the half-folded napkin he had dropped lying on the floor, his left hand hanging limply next to it with the number ‘41’ newly branded onto his wrist.
The knowledge of what it meant had burnt itself into his mind alongside the timer on his wrist: Forty-one years left to live.

Summary
“He’s lost his mind,” Grian says, throwing his hands in the air.
“Grian,” he scolds.
“Why is this so casual for you? You said you were deteriorating in the same way you asked for a second cup of tea this morning.”
“I don’t know why it’s difficult to accept. Like, it’s a thing, it’s happening.”
“Might as well let it run its course,” Grian mocks.
“Exactly. Might as well see where it leads. Everyone is so concerned about me; it’s left no room for myself to feel concerned. I actually feel pretty fine? Like, other than the glasses, and the carrots, and uhm, whatever else, nothing’s very different.”
It doesn’t feel completely true as it leaves his mouth, but Mumbo holds firm under Grian’s hot stare.

Or, Mumbo Jumbo and the effects of rapid decay.

Summary
The room is silent, and Scar gently places his hand on Grian’s, “You know that don’t you?” When he doesn’t respond, Scar continues in an even smaller voice, “You know we love you, right?”
Watchers do not have friends no attachments she’s hurt go help her no don’t— stay put chin up, fledgeling do as you’re told. It won’t hurt if you could just listen you useless thing. Put obsidian over your chests, that’ll teach you to organize everything is orderly, the universe functions by the rules we enforce—no little empire, the universe is fluid and kind, they lie, they want to control us they want power—we want what’s best for you, stand up straight, don’t waiver, never waiver, never, never, never.
“Grian,” A warm hand on his shoulder, a breath is punched from his lungs, “Grian, it’s ok—”
Grian clenches his teeth so hard they ache, praying over and over to to—he’s not sure who he’s praying to. Who will answer when he is a god himself?
Or;
Xisuma's religion is the Watcher pantheon, of which Grian is an unwilling member. And—wait. Has anyone seen Pearl?
