Summary
“Woah woah woah! Back up. What part of my life makes you think I’d want to commit suicide?”
Joel gave Jimmy a funny look.
“Are you being serious?”
“Yes!”
The demon jolted in surprise. “Oh! My goodness! Well, uh. I mean. Where to start?” He started counting points off on his fingers. “You can’t hold down a job. Your ex is blatantly still in love with you. Your other ex thinks dating you was an insult to his intelligence. Your old cult keeps finding you. Grian’s still in your old cult. Grian thinks you can’t tell he’s still in your old cult. Your stalker’s still in your friendgroup. Your sister’s obnoxiously perfect. Everyone you know bullies you constantly. Grian again, but this time just because of his general personality. Uh. You ruin everything you’re involved with.”
“Excuse me?!”
“You can’t be that surprised!”

Joel is a demon who thinks Jimmy really should kill himself.
Jimmy disagrees.
Eventually, they come to a sort of agreement.

Summary
Eggxile, despite the original intention, isn't really lonely.
It used to be, but then Flippa returned and now Slimecicle has his beautiful egg daughter there!
Even that was lonely, but ever since the accident things have really been looking up!
Flippa's been going to school, and while she's there Slimecicle gets visitors from the mainland!
Slimecicle's life is perfect, really! Nothing ever goes wrong, the island is always beautiful, everyone is always happy to see him, and every day is like a dream.
Now if only (his bandages would stop itching, and) his brain would stop pointing out all those funny little (impossible) unnecessary details (that don't fit).

Summary
The footage is grainy and low quality. The viewpoint shifts slightly like it’s handheld, or even attached to the operator’s face. Judging from the perspective, the camera operator is tall, but the room they stand in is suited to this height.
The camera operator begins speaking the second the video starts. It’s Doc:
“Something terrible happened, and I do not know what.
“Very recently, several Hermits returned from somewhere. I do not know when. They had been there for a long time. I do not know how long. They were there with several people from outside the server. I do not know who. They did not go or return willingly. I do not know how.
“There is much I do not know, that we knew with clarity just days ago.

Third life happens, and no one remembers.
Then Doc remembers.
Sort of.

Summary
He blinked and—
InTheLittleWood ran out of time.
————
“Psst. Martyn?”
A stage whisper came from his right, loud enough to more than completely avoid the point of whispering. Hm. Impressive, but he could do louder.
…He did do louder, the day before.
Martyn opens his eyes to see a scene from the day before.
“...Martyn?”
“What just happened?”
-*-*-
Or; Martyn in a time loop, trying to defeat the evil, terrible, Red King, before he freezes the world in an apocalyptic snowstorm.
Also, treebark. There’s a lot that can happen in a time loop, where uncovering secrets is a matter of when, not if… -

Summary
Sun Priestess doesn’t miss her wings often.
It sounded like a big thing, to lose your wings, but Sun could fly anyway through the power of adventurer magic! She had shoes instead of talons, hats in place of head feathers, and she had the sun instead of Wy- instead of the Stars.
But right now, staring at a little red bird as it hops across a snowy branch, Sun really misses having wings.

Summary
“How do I know?” The kid spits, knife raised again, trembling violently. His eyes are wet, angry and pleading and piercing right down into Grian’s soul.
“...If I can fly?” Grian asks, confused. His heart is beating fast.
The boy shakes his head violently, taking a lurching step forward, now only a few feet away. Something about his eyes almost seems familiar, but the thought is fleeting. The knife looks sharp. The child is crying, slow tears that barely have an effect on his voice.
“No,” the kid says forcefully. “How do I know you’re not a zombie?”
OR,
A young Scar fresh from a world overtaken by zombies stumbles through The Rift onto Hermitcraft, and is quickly adopted by the rest of the Hermits, who have no idea who he actually is.
An older Scar grapples with a past that he'd rather forget, all while trying to avoid the version of himself he left behind a long time ago. -

Summary
The light vibration in his throat as he tried to speak was missing. Like his vocal cords had completely given up on him.
Grian looked back at the two suspected culprits with wide eyes, trying to hide the way his right hand was trembling on his neck.
“I had hoped it would not come to this”, the left one spoke, the voice devoid of emotion. “You have been chosen. You are to become one of Us. And Watchers do not speak.”
—
Evolution was supposed to be a normal server. Grian wasn’t supposed to get trapped in the End and be changed into something beyond his comprehension. As his playerhood gets ripped away, Grian is thrusted into the cold, unfeeling world of Watchers. A world he never was meant to belong to.
Deep down, he is still a player wanting to be whole again. A player wanting to get back his old connections and live a normal life. A player, who had lost his physical body and the ability to interact with his surroundings in the process of becoming a Watcher.
This story is a journey of learning to live once more, finding and returning to normal when "normal" seems unattainable, and finally being able to love yourself again.

Summary
Taako and Lup have devised a plan to get back at their shitty family for the way they had treated them as children, as well as put an end to the incoming letters now that the twins have gained a little bit of notoriety. They're going to go back home for Candlenights, and it's going to be the worst Candlenights anyone there has ever had.
Lup's bringing Barry, because nothing's better than showing up with a respectable looking dude only for said dude to start pulling out the formaldehyde pig brains. Taako needs something like that too.
So, why not ask the cute guy in his drama class who does bad accents when he gets nervous if he's free over break?
