    Summary

    Her name comes naturally: Pearlescentmoon. She’s on a server, she understands the concept, but she can’t think of its name. She doesn’t know how she got here, and she can’t remember a moment before.

    There’s only one strong goal in her mind, and it’s that no one can know. She doesn’t know what they’re not supposed to know, though it’s about her. But she needs to act like everyone here.


    “Watchers don’t have the same moral standards as players - they’re not really conscious. They just want to see what button they can press, what they can make happen. They want entertainment.”

    Pearl is struggling to stay afloat on a strange world, besieged by dreams of her past and words - worlds - she can only half remember. Unbeknownst to her, the other players on Hermitcraft have been desperately searching for her ever since she went missing months ago.

    A wonderful, extremely creative and intriguing look into Pearl joining Hermitcraft. Contains some of the coolest CSS I've ever seen, and the worldbuilding around Minecraft mechanics was GENIUS. I am such a huge fan of this one, it was truly so fun to read.

    Summary

    Something whispers in her ears: a new song, one that Pearl could swear she’s heard before, in past lives. It’s a twirling kind of whisper, the kind that seems to weave from one ear to the other with barely a pattern to its rhythm. Now that Lizzie has left, the song sinks into only Pearl, and now that she is alone, Pearl can hear an urge behind its twisting intent. She thinks she dances when she walks.

    “Have you noticed…” fWhip’s voice trails off.

    “Noticed what, fWhip?”

    He opens his mouth as though to say something, then closes it again, and then, “Something feels different. Like the world itself has changed, but I don’t know what.”

    Gem stares at the dragon egg. “Like the world itself is separate from us now?”

    ---

    or: After the battle for Jimmy's Codfather head, the rulers of the Empires realize that the universe can no longer speak to them. As the threat of Xornoth lingers still, Pearl and Gem find two eggs, one of light and one of void, and from them unravels an ancient feud given new form.

    One of the best fics I've ever read, hands down. Excellent worldbuilding, wonderful portrayals of all the characters-- I think about this one often, it's so brilliant.

    Summary

    “Ranboo, what happened to you?” Wilbur asks, the words coming out with more sharpness than he intends. He ignores the memory of a pressure plate behind glass pane, blood splattered on the wall, a low, grieving whimper, and the feeling of Quackity’s skin tearing under the pressure of Wilbur’s teeth as the world screams to a halt.

    “Well, for one, I think I’m about to get divorced. Darn!” The ghost says. “I also, y’know, died. Permanently! And it’s actually, like, kind of funny, because it was still just as pathetic as last time. Huh, starting to notice a pattern there.”

    (Wilbur and Ghostboo have a baking competition.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A brilliant exploration of c!Wilbur and Boo post-c!Ranboo's death, which also contains one of my favorite lines of all time: "Grief tugs on his sleeve, a child shyly asking for attention." The details in this fic really elevate it to the next level-- I'll def be rereading this one.

    Summary

    Las Nevadas is a country of its own right in this post-L’manberg world. No one can take that from him.

    (Earlier, by what feels like years but really hasn’t been all that long, not in the grand scheme of things, Quackity had nothing for a person to take.)

    -

    Quackity, on being left behind.

    A wonderful take on c!Quackity pre and post Boundless Sands. It hurts me in the best of ways.

    Rekrap would consider himself a fan of a bit of selfish terrorism. He’s just not a fan when it escalates to such an extreme level.

    A fantastic take on steampunk!Lifesteal-- the worldbuilding is FANTASTIC, the characterization is top notch, and it's all around an excellent story.
