Summary
“You’ll find a way.” Wilbur says wryly, his glasses falling lopsided back onto his face, his hands lowering into his lap. He looks up at Techno, expression twisted up in guilt. He hates to refuse him, after all of this, after such clear effort he’s given, Wil wishes he could dare to repay him with something of bravery, but- “You always do. You’ll find a solution.”
“...You’re my solution.” Technoblade murmurs quietly, something of grief scattered over his gaze.

Summary
Hermitcraft is a place of sanctuary. It's a place of acceptance and love, of healing. A place to leave your past behind surrounded by friends and family who will love you through it all. For some Hermits, that love is easier to accept than others.

Descriptions are hard, this is basically my rambling fics that strike my fancy as I work through Hermitcraft. Mostly focused on Grian because that man is too easy to put in pain, but other hermits may have the spotlight, depending on what my muse feels like doing.

Summary
Wilbur always thought his dad and uncle's hobby of doomsday prepping was weird.
It comes in more handy than he could've ever imagined.

Summary
“Hey, it’s okay,” Phil whispered, holding his hands out to show they were empty. “We’re not gonna hurt you, kiddo.”
The kid blinked, doubt filling his eyes, and Phil couldn’t blame him. He and Techno weren’t exactly the friendliest-looking guys around.
When Phil’s eyes fell to the ground again, he noticed two things sitting near the kid’s feet. One was a heavy silver dagger, inlaid with intricate carvings of the same symbol that decorated the cultists robes. The second was another torn page, and this time, Phil only needed to see one word on it to realize what he and Techno had stumbled in on.
Sacrifice.
“You were going to be their sacrifice, weren’t you?” Phil whispered, horror seeping into his tone as he stared at the terrified child in front of him.
or, while exploring a tomb filled with monsters, Phil and Techno accidentally interrupt a cult meeting. Somehow they get a kid out of it.
