Summary
The first thing Cherri noticed in No Person's Land were the lilies.
The Red Kingdom didn't actually have many lilies, she'd noticed, but then, she was fairly certain that the Blue Kingdom lacked the valley flowers as well. That wasn't really the point, though. The point was that lilies didn't often grow in No Person's Land.
The second thing Cherri noticed was the man sitting in the middle of them.

Summary
Strangers — Ethel Cain
↻ ◁ II ▷ ↺
Three teens have gone missing and returned wrong by unnatural and otherworldly means, and what remains of them are polaroids, subject records, and a single group chat thread. The L1F3R Foundation is dedicated to solving paranormal anomalies. These are their findings.
A story told with some weird formatting, a few SCP-ish records, and a teensy bit of vague horror.

Summary
Scott shifts. He uncurls himself from his position and lets his knees hit the rock so he's kneeling. He looks up like the sunflowers. For a normal Player, the sun would burn their eyes, but Scott's not normal, and so he just stares it down.
"Saint Pearl," He begins softly, "I thank you for the sunflowers and the sanctuary found at the Secret Keeper. I thank you for the bread that feeds my alliance and the prospering crops that keep a Server happy."
It's been a long, long time since Scott's prayed to anything. He thinks he might have thrown out a halfhearted 'fuck you' pour of spoiled milk to the Watchers in Last Life. Back in those days, most of his prayers were for the Void as a vague thought or for Aeor in some amalgamation of a childhood tradition.

Or; Scott says a prayer to Pearl in the sunflower fields of Secret Life.

Sing, Scream, Seen, Unseen by mavesshackled

Summary
Pearl Escenta Moons has just moved into the Hub world, Gildmorre, with her brothers after the worst year of their lives.
Watchers and Listeners are respected, revered, and feared beings in equal measure, more than Players but less than Gods. They are on par with Admins without the same vulnerabilities, and that's a little bit terrifying. They're not a monolith, not all the same, but Pearl--
Pearl and her family got in with the wrong ones. Now, they're putting the pieces back together, navigating finding a new Server, and reminding themselves what it meant to be a Player.
* Updates will likely happen semi-weekly, as I write when I have the motivation and sometimes I just don't want to work on this fic specifically.

Summary
It starts with Grian, because of course it does.
But then it's Scott, and then Pearl, and then Martyn, and then Scar, and then Cleo, and then Joel, and Gem barely found it in herself to care who it started with, because it's ended with far too many others.

Both Haunted And Holy (Made In Glory) by mavesshackled

Summary
Scott was always one for superstition.
Normally, there's a not somewhere in that sentence, but not for him, because Scott is the champion of a goddess. Normally, that sentence isn't believable, but today it is, because the gods have come alive and effectively ended the world.
—
Scott’s life has gotten a lot smaller since the gods made the outside world a risky game of avoiding raw magic that could put you inside out, narrowed to two things: his goddess and his compound. It gets a little wider when he meets his goddess in the woods on a survivor run.

Summary
You. You. You are alive.
----
Martyn defeats the Ender Dragon by himself on a single player world without being in real danger for the first time. He has some feelings about this. He also gets to read the Minecraft End Poem, albeit slightly edited, and has his own Arcturus Beaming moment.
Chapter 1 is the Ender Dragon, chapter 2 will be the Void.

Summary
The whole not-having-a-home-server thing gets complex when you think about where that Player is supposed to be spending their free time. It’s not that Martyn has no public or whitelisted homeworld, it’s that he has no intact homeworld, period, point blank, end of sentence.
Hence, falling through the Void.

A ficlet about Martyn Littlewood, the Void, and what having no home server means for Martyn. I wrote this at around 3 am, please don’t expect top quality.

Summary
An amateur team of hobbyist ghost-hunters jokingly dubbed the Boogey Gang are investigating a large, ornate mansion in a town in the middle of nowhere, only to find this happy haunt holds more than they thought.
OR
A Phasmophobia AU of VSMP, light on angst and heavy on chaos! Shelby, Scott, Drift, Abolish, and Sausage are ghost hunting, and they’re in for a mess.
This work will contain bloodserum/trustbites, treebark ambiguous relation, and moonrot, which won’t be tagged until they actually show up. ShubbleDrift inclusion and romantic treebark is still on the fence. I write for fun, not for criticism, and updates may be few and far between, but i’ve fallen in love with this concept and need to make it happen.
Updates are slow because I have another wip to finish!
