Falling Feels a lot Like Flying by Gilded_ForgetMeNot

Summary
When Xisuma, Pearl and False get pulled unwillingly through a purple rift in Grian’s basement, they land in a completely different continent to their own homeland, one that False really, really hopes she doesn’t recognise, and one that Pearl finds eerily familiar - an unsettling feeling very much not helped by every town they end up in seeming to have a cathedral dedicated to her.
But with Xisuma stuck in his End Dragon form, and no easy way to get home, the trio quickly discover that wherever they are - it’s certainly not friendly.

You’re going to lose people along the way; people you thought you’d never lose. People you truly believed would always be there. And it’s going to hurt like hell. by Gilded_ForgetMeNot

Summary
When Wels doesn't arrive at the start of season seven, at first the server worries, then panics, and then eventually comes to the heartbreaking conclusion that the knight had just... decided to leave Hermitcraft without telling anyone.
Xisuma, unsurprisingly, does not take this well, and soon enough people get worried enough that they're forced to conscript Keralis for help - and just pray that the fact that neither Keralis nor Xisuma have been on speaking terms for seasons doesn't mean their strategy is doomed to failure.
Written to be read STANDALONE, but from the world of Shrapnel and Stardust.

You're too late. Whatever you're trying to save me from, it's already happened. by Gilded_ForgetMeNot

Summary
Gem’s initial response after the end of the world had been to run, as hard and fast as possible. Drown the fear she'd felt for everyone else in a desperate sprint across the Nether, forgo any guilt she has about leaving False behind; follow her instinctual compass north because there’s nowhere else to go.
It's only two weeks in that Gem finds she's not the only Hermit to escape through this dimension, when she hears screaming in the distance and takes a swift detour to find Xisuma suffering at Ex's hands.

Why are we here, how did this happen, and how the fuck do I make it stop? by Gilded_ForgetMeNot

Summary
Tithe season is always a stressful experience, even on Hermitcraft - which ranks, by far, as the safest server that Doc has ever lived on. Really, this place is the most amazing thing.
…which is great, because on any other server, the administrator would probably have his and Ren’s head if they turned up with their portion of the yearly magic tithe two hours before the deadline.Except this isn't any other server - this is Hermitcraft. So when a terrible accident causes Ren to ruin the entire years tithe to the Watchers, it's not Ren, oddly enough, who takes the blame.
It's Xisuma.

Defining Justice (Or, four times someone found out Wels was an angel, and one time they already knew.) by Gilded_ForgetMeNot
Fandoms: Hermitcraft SMP, Minecraft (Video Game)
22 May 2026

Summary
500 years is a long time to spend pretending to be human, and though after all these centuries Wels has got it down to an art, he's also hyperaware of how easily things can start to crumble. It's why he's spent so long carefully holding himself away from getting to close to people, and it's also why - after 500 years of successfully keeping his mouth shut - he ends up telling five people he's an angel in less than a decade. Blasted friendship.
An exploration of four times where Wels' cover story snapped, fell through, or otherwise faltered, and one time it never would've worked to begin with.
Written to be read STANDALONE, but set in the world of Shrapnel and Stardust. -
Getting Distracted! by Gilded_ForgetMeNot
Fandoms: Hermitcraft SMP, Minecraft (Video Game)
21 May 2026
Tags
Summary
Gem's working on her base when Grian shows up, insisting that they need to get to a testing server as soon as possible for what is going to be the best prank idea in the entire world, and that Etho's going to meet them there.
Xisuma would just really like it if people gave him some warning before they started breaking Hermitcraft.
A short one shot based on GeminiTay's Episode 13 of Season 11, slightly reinterpreted into a world where the Hermits actually live on the server, and Xisuma is very much responsible for all of their shenangians.

I don't remember who I was before you. by Gilded_ForgetMeNot

Summary
It's season eight, and Xisuma's hitting his limit; the iron farm Evil X has ordered him to create is his third major project in as many days. So he tries to take a shortcut with the redstone - just a small one - that nevertheless results in a worse time than he could ever have imagined.
He just wishes Ex would stop using the electricity quite so liberally.

Summary
In a universe where hybrids are slowly being stripped of their rights, the Hermitcraft server has all but fallen. All but the four humans are in hiding, and Xisuma, their admin, has been landed in prison on a technicality everyone knows is bullshit.
False, after three months of struggling through legal battles, has finally managed to arrange a meeting with Xisuma - and finds the situation in prison about ten times worse than she'd hoped, and exactly as terrible as she'd expected.

Freedom leaves a bitter taste by Gilded_ForgetMeNot
Fandoms: Hermitcraft SMP, Minecraft (Video Game)
26 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
After a decade of assuming his twin is dead, Xisuma's more than a little shocked when the server's efforts to retrieve Cleo, Tango and Zedaph from The End brings Xavier - or Ex, as Zed insists on calling him - along with it. Unfortunately, ten years in different dimensions is only one of the problems facing them, and with a relationship broken on so many levels neither even know where to start.
Not that they're going to let that stop them.
(Sequel to 'In War, Everybody is a Prisoner (but some more than others))
--> Probably can't be read alone, but hey, feel free if you're up for a challenge!Series

Summary
Xisuma knows what Joel's theme is, this season, but the now familiar reassurance of 'Everything Is Fine' rings very different in the wake of an SOS call. So he teleports over, just to check in.
Unfortunately for them both, the Thing puppeteering Joel's body around is waiting for Xisuma, and the pair of them are in for a long, difficult night.

Summary
Cleo, Zedaph and Tango find themselves political prisoners in the Deep End, captured by Voidwalkers who, frankly, want the trio home almost as much as they do.
Unfortunately there's quite a bit of legal red tape to navigate first, and the only person capable of speaking both Galactic and Common looks eerily like their admin in the worst possible way.Series

The bravest thing I did was leave. by Gilded_ForgetMeNot

Summary
Xisuma's been living with his brother for two years, and he's exhausted. Still, without a car, money, or even a phone, there's only one place he can think of to run to - and that's Doc. He just has to pray he remembers the right house number.
With both Doc and Ren out, Martyn only opens the door because he's expecting a package. Needless to say, inviting in an ill looking, ghost-like stranger was not on his evening plans.

Summary
Originally pulled into gang life by her deadbeat of a husband, Cleo's just hit a decade with no sign of her past showing up. The boys are doing well in school, her sister's about to get married, and she and Joe have finally had a conversation about the definition of a queer-platonic relationship.
Then Etho crashes a celebratory dinner with one less eye than she remembers and several bullets in his arm, and shit unceremoniously hits the fan. -

Summary
It's been over two months since eight people vanished from the Hermitcraft server, and things could really, really be going better. No-one's sleeping properly, especially not X; Mumbo's stressed, Doc's angry, and Joe's completely and utterly fine.
And then suddenly, in the early hours of the morning, the disappeared all come back at once.A look at the immediate return of those disappeared from for the life series in a slightly fluffier tone than usual, where the return is mostly marked by celebration and hugging rather than too much anger.

No storm can last forever by Gilded_ForgetMeNot

Summary
If Joel had a list of all the people he wouldn't mind ending up stuck in a bunker with, it would start with Lizzie and spread out from there - Jimmy, Grian, Martyn; maybe Etho or Gem?
It would notably not include Xisuma Void.This situation is not improved when a storm triggers some kind of panic attack from Xisuma that Joel does not know how to help with and would really, really like to X to stop having.

Summary
After his brother lashes out particularly badly one night, Xisuma ends up asking for help for the first time in months.
Stress* is glad to help, really she is, but honestly?
She'd much rather none of this was happening in the first place.*As part of my fanfiction backlog, Stress is here. She is retained in none of my current projects, but she's in so much of my old work it feels disingenuous to just... delete her.

We should've helped him by Gilded_ForgetMeNot

Summary
It's the start of season nine, and Xisuma still hasn't woken up. Stress*, Doc and Keralis are desperate enough to beg their resident mind-reader, Hypno, for help.
Hypno wishes he'd said no.
(Don't be fooled, this is a mostly Xisuma and Evil Xisuma centric fic. Everyone else is mostly there to react to how truly bad things are)
*This is part of my Fanfic backlog, and thus Stress is here. I no longer include her in current writing, but given that she's present in so much of my past stuff it feels... wrong, somehow, to just delete her.
