Mighty's Aus - Tumblr Posts
Finally getting around to writing the actual fanfiction side to RIFT AU. Did it take me a long while to get around to it?
Yes. But believe me, I just like getting everything all done before posting to have them in nice groupings.
I can’t really say what all goes into the AU. But, there will be a bonus side story involving Empires Members (+Hermit!False).
Will say that this AU involves elements of Empires being a series performed by the members with actual magic and such involved. Hermitcraft is in the same manner.
Impulse laid in the center of the cage. If he moved too far to any side, then his prison would rock and make a loud jingling noise that would irritate his stunned brain. Also, if his cage made any noise, then the shrieker below would shriek and summon a warden.

A lone tree stands in the mist of a blizzard. It's dead. Or, maybe, it's just fast asleep and waiting out the cold.
It's the only landmark in this empty void of ice and snow. Perhaps it marks safety? A beacon of hope in this frigid land?
It's hard telling. There's something... off about it.
I have polls now! AHAHA
I have so many AUs and don't know what to focus on/doodle. And since I have polls now, I'm leaving it up to tumblr to help.
I'll post an actual synopsis of the AUs later (probably tomorrow if I remember).
Also, these AUs go across multiple different series including: Hermitcraft, Empires, EVO, Limited Life.
List of AUs!
The list that I said that I'd post a day or so ago. This list will be an evergrowing list. I'll hopefully even use this as like a master post for the AUs (eventually) maybe).
-----------------------------
Rift Malfunction:
Something happens after the hermits pass through the rift. A shift that affects almost everyone between the two servers: The hermits become rulers of empires and vice versa.
It's up to Gem, the traveler between the two worlds, to fix all of her friends before they lose themselves for good.
-
The Rift:
Grian is pulled through the rift, and the only clue left behind is a broken pair of glasses. Scar, Cub, and Jimmy (with Pearl and Zedaph monitoring the situation) venture into the rift to find him.
But what else awaits them within the shifting realms of the Watchers?
(AU also features ocs) my little guys)
-
Limited Loop AU:
The Watchers are angry at Martyn being the victor of Limited Life. So, they use their magic in order to trap Martyn within a timeloop. Jimmy is also trapped within the loop as well.
-
Limited Life Monster AU:
Something happens as the lifers leave the server. Their red lives have clung to their spirits and have morphed them into monsters.
-
Masked AU:
An amnesiac wakes up in an bedroom that he doesn't recognize. He's instructed to put on the mask (and formal change of clothes) before exiting his room.
Once he leaves, he runs into a tall stranger in a cat mask. The two agree to stick together and solve the many mysteries that stand before them.
-
Unwelcomed Guests AU:
The hermits arrive in the realm of empires, however, they aren't received as positively as Grian believed that they would be.
The empires people are hostile and suspicious of the hermits. Leading to some of the hermits being imprisoned or worse. The ones that escape this fate work with the other empires members to rescue their friends (and hopefully find a way home).
-
Zed Collection AU:
Zedaph was obsessed. He wanted to collect everything on the server: From the smallest craftable item to the largest mob, Zedaph wanted it all.
But a problem arose with Zedaph's obsession. He wanted everything in the server. This 'everything' included the very denizens that lived in the world alongside him:
The hermits.
-
Pokewhat AU:
Hermits, empires, and more but oh no! They pokémon now. Everyone has to find each other and figure out how to get home.
-
Erased AU:
Back during the times of EVO, the Listeners erased Jimmy from the memories of everyone involved. But, something occurs when Jimmy moves on to other servers.
For a brief moment, Jimmy exists and everyone knows him (with those from EVO having blurred memories). But eventually, Jimmy is erased from existence and set to wander aimlessly once again.
But eventually, a ghostly Pixlriffs finds Jimmy and remembers who he is.

RIFT AU: The Rescuers.
A semi-proper sketch of the main cast together for RIFT AU. While Scar, Jimmy, and Cub are the main focus, Pearl and Zedaph do still have their own adventure back in Hermitland (like dealing with a giant robot) or explaining to their friends that they shouldn't follow the compasses they received).
I will keep updating everyone's designs every now and again. But these designs will probably be the most used.
---------------
Left to right (with some little descriptions):
Scar:
The first to figure out that Grian was missing. He's still his usual cheery self, and he's determined to rescue his friend.
However, the longer that he traverses the rift, the more drained he becomes.
-
Jimmy:
Upon hearing about the Rift from Lizzie (and Fwhip in a group message), a feeling of dread washes through the bird hybrid. And by using his Listener powers (which are rusty), he's able to pinpoint where his concerns are coming from.
Jimmy leads and protects the trio as they traverse the rift. His body is somehow use to the shifting realms (despite never being there before).
-
Cub:
Cub is the support for the group. He uses his vex magic to help boost Jimmy's Listener magic. On top of this, he also has some normal healing magic (and potions) He also has normal magic, but the vex magic is more affective and can adapt to other dimensions easier).
(Him being a bear hybrid also helps) Good ears and other senses)
---------
Pearl:
Pearl monitors the rift alongside Zedaph. She makes sure that the Rift is stable (they can't let it shrink) or even grow).
She also uses her Watcher-based magic in order to monitor and extract the rescue team (and whoever they rescue).
-
Zedaph:
Zedaph, meanwhile, provides both his redstone knowledge (and other skills).
He makes sure that all the redstone used to study the rift is still functioning. Also, he distracts the other hermits and makes sure that they don't go through the rift.
Both of them also decorate the base and craft potions for those rescued.

Nostalgia is a terrifying, yet intelligent, beast. It stalks. It calls out. It tries to disorientate. It knows how to lure you in and get you at your weakest moment....
But alas, the prey couldn't escape the predator this time around....
-
Tried to do a drawing of the actual rift for this AU. A rift that's a bit more accurate to its source material anyways.
This is also just an excuse to do more drawings with little silhouetted people (and big 'backgrounds' as the focus).

LOG 002:
Something came out of the rift. Something came out of the rift!
A giant, man-made machine crawled its way out of the Rift and merged itself with the wall in Grian's base. It was terrifying! The thing's giant arms and body melded into the rock and fused itself with all the technology that was already in the base.
And once the thing's screen turned on, it didn't really settle my nerves about it.
The AI claimed to be a Grumbot from another reality. This Grumbot also claimed that it wanted to help Pearl and me in our mission of finding Mumbo.
(We didn't say what our goal was. And on top of that, Grumbot didn't mention Grian nor the others at all. Not even when I brought it up) They were, and still are, focused solely on Mumbo)
For now, Pearl and I have decided to trust the AI. It's already proven to be able to reach out to Scar and the others. Grumbot's screen also gives an even clear picture than Pearl's crystals.
Besides, I don't want to see what happens if we refuse him...

Anyone else ever revives an old AU with new context to it and-
Oh no the brainrot's back.
Frozen Over Prologue -Winter Warnings-
X stood in the center of Spawn. The bone mage’s tail swished as he typed into his communicator then scrolled through the multiple different displays of server information. Each panel, to Xisuma’s delight, was showing accurate information. But as the hermit began closing each display for the day, X stopped as a red screen appeared amongst the vibrant purples.
The hermit narrowed his eyes,
“ Hmmm….” The admin thought as he pulled the screen towards him and discarded the others to the side, “ The temperature of the server has gotten a bit colder, and there’s apparently a haze in the air…? ” he read aloud as he looked towards the sky.
The admin’s tail swished again as he continued to scroll through the text. He tilted his head as he scrolled through the temp maps and snowfall measures in the already cold areas of the server. And to his confusion, it seemed like the clouds were spreading out and the snow was falling at a higher rate than normal. What was usually a lighter dusting of snow, it seemed to be a couple of centimeters higher than normal.....
--------------------------------------
So, I will now be posting an actual fanfic for Frozen Over AU on Ao3! The story will be pretty slow going at the start; however I do have plans on writing the whole thing.
For now Frozen Over will be the only story on my Ao3; however, I will eventually be posting other stories for AUs that I've talked about on Tumblr as well. This is just a test of the waters.

A tattered journal rests upon a table within the Dwarven Keep. Its contents touched by the harsh cold outside.
" Frozen Over Mob Survival Guidebook. Written by Falsesymmetry." is the title and a scratched at snowflake decorates the cover.
Within the journal, there seems to be notes about the various mobs that now wander the snow covered server.

"Decked Out was quiet, almost too quiet. The only thing that I could hear was my own breathing. I don’t like this. I don’t like being here, alone."
"....Was I even alone?"
-Frozen Over Chapter 1, Part 3: Blizzard's Blunder
---------------------
Ah, finally, the drawing of Decked Out itself. Despite the snow originating from here, the blizzard itself is surprisingly... calm.
This drawing took a long time to do. But still, I'm glad that I finished it.
Now I can start drawing the hermits themselves and other things. Perhaps even focus on other ideas and oc stuff.
