Summary
Mumbo wakes up in the middle of frozen woods, without a communicator or anyone in sight.
Or: The Dream SMP makes sense, from its members' POV at least. What would happen if say, a normal player where to appear on the server without any knowledge of the server's particularities?

5 memories Grian has as a Watcher plus one memory he doesn't have by JamesGrim

Summary
It's not because the story has a lot of muddy parts that Grian does not remember some of it as distinctly as stones standing above the tepid water. He knows where he comes from. He's a Watcher of the Steep clan. His exile and his arrival to Hermicraft do not change what he is.
Or: Grian's backstory in my Watchers' lore take told from Grian memories. Or lack thereof.

Bookmarker's Notes
Characterisation of every character are very much on point, especially Doc's. The Doc writing here alone makes it worth it tbh. But it's also the way hermits handle Dream's custody and past and their philosophical take on it is super interesting. Crazy good worldbuilding as well. Really the best "Dream Redemtion Arc" fic I've find by a long long shot.

Summary
The Higher-Ups wanted Xisuma to hurt Mumbo for this. He had no good reason not to hurt Mumbo Jumbo, a redstone genius he’d hosted for years– no good reason not to flaunt his authority and take him apart at the base level, and it would feel good, wouldn’t it, wouldn’t it feel so great and entertaining–
“Several Hermits lost their whole inventories in the explosion,” Xisuma pointed out, thinking very loudly about those inventories and nothing else. “Let’s see, there’s Stress, Iskall, Grian, Scar, False…”
“Yes, and– and Etho. That’s put him behind on the blaze farm, but I could help with that, also, and provide– I could make it up to people,” Mumbo said, voice breaking. “It is a lot of damage. I know.”
Unruly and irresponsible, the observers echoed, a rasp at the base of Xisuma’s brain. Watching. Not even that interesting. There are standards to uphold, Admin Xisumavoid. We would hate to replace you.
“There are standards to uphold,” Xisuma echoed miserably.

Summary
Fox dies.
Except he doesn’t, because as soon as the creepy Sith ritual drains the last of the blood from his body, he wakes up…somewhere. Somewhere else, where, for once, he can’t feel the Emperor’s claws digging into his head every hour of the cycle.
Unfortunately, this somewhere else is so deep in the middle of nowhere that he gets picked up by a mandalorian—some asshole called Montross who quickly proves that he’d be more helpful dead, especially once Fox finds out that this shabuir wants to sell him off to the Kyr’tsad. In a final bid for freedom, Fox disposes of his would-be captor, commandeers his ship, and goes on the run from the man’s terrorist Kyr’tsad friends and his weird Haat Mando’ad coworkers.
…until the weird coworkers finally catch up to Fox.
Or: upon his death, Fox is thrown several decades into the past, lands in Mandalore’s backyard, gets himself adopted, and (mostly intentionally) alters the course of the galaxy.
Oh, and he isn’t the only vod to get tossed through time and space.

Summary
Impulse thinks he might never be able to erase it from his mind, maybe because he feels some sort of kinship with this kid for liking the same, shitty brand of chewing gum he likes, maybe because that same, single, childish item sits so innocently in the middle of what is one ingredient shy of a death sentence.
The cashier rings him up.
Chewing gum.
Duct tape.
Plastic bag.
Sleeping pills.
15,20€, in cash.
