Hello hello everyone! Welcome back to another recap, which is quite honestly pretty rushed and will most likely be shorter than usual. To be frank with you all, currently the team is a bit messy because almost all of us are being slammed by IRL stuff, so please be patient with us :,)

After that update, we can proceed with the Hermittpad Recap!

Before we begin the books, we want to say happy birthday to TangoTek (April 16th) and one of our members, KingChocoFacialHair (April 13th)! A little late, as we didn't have a recap last week, but a late birthday wish is better than none! <3

Starting us off with some lovely Bdoc from crystal_queer (ive always really liked your name btw), who has updated their Bdoc Oneshots book. This oneshot is based on a prompt from Bdocfest, which is "favorite place"! I absolutely loved this oneshot, it is extremely cute and incredibly well paced! We highly suggest checking it out.

Going with the theme of school AUs, EntropicThyme has handed us some beautiful "out of context" quotes from their Crew-style School AU. Ah. Yes. Good for your skin.

You may want to hold on to those wholesome school AUs, because now we are brought angst by -Millipeede-, who shows us Grian, broken and abandoned by everyone he cared for. I personally will go cry and reread the school aus. If you want to go read, check out MoonTears (a hermitcraft AU)!

Oh no, more angst, but now brought to us with some Last Life thrown in! EmberDragon34 gives us more pain and suffering in the form of Steel Blood, a Hermitcraft fanfiction. I need another dose of the school fics.

Now we move onto A Rift Through Worlds, which has a new chapter from MurtoK, showing us Tommy thinking about the past after helping the Hermits. I bet nothing else happens, haha!

Hidden Within by EvolvedGlitch has gained another chapter, with Grian running into a familiar face...

Oh thank goodness back to the wholesomeness! TinyAzalea101 has provided us with a oneshot of Tango's birthday being celebrated! Oh thank goodness platonic friendships has restored my joy after all that amazingly sad angst.

The Hermit Journals (Volume Two) by AJTango show us Grian, Scar, and Mumbo before they move seasons, watching the Eclipse that brought them out of Season 8 occur!

ThatOneWaterCat is continuing their Highschool AU book, adding in a cute addition of stories by the campfire, and hilarity ensues.

Two-WayDoorsBish and BlackMors_ have both installed another chapter of incorrect quotes in their respective Hermittpad Incorrect Quotes, thoroughly satisfying my crave to watch the Hermits absolutely go apeshit.

Next up is a one shot from our very own EminenceGhost, which is the beginning of a Bels one shot, which has Bdubs going out to accomplish a challenge given to him by his two friends in a bout of teasing. Again... I bet nothing happens out of the ordinary!

Oh no Oh no I knew it would come for me oh no more angst. The Abyss Bane by Arlo_TheGoodDinosaur shows mystery surrounding Grian and Scar, and we have to watch Jellie be sad. God. No. Not Jellie.

AerospaceVoid_ started writing the rewrite of an old, discontinued story, previously named "The Eyes of the Storm" and is currently named "Brewing Storm."

Dang! Already finished with the books for this week.

For our announcements, crystal_queer is discontinuing their Hermitcraft x Harry Potter book, and Xivique discontinued their Hermitcraft AU "Run From the Past". We are sad to see them go, but we are excited to see what else you two decide to make!

Wrapping up the announcements with a fun competition! Meva400 is hosting a songfic competition. If you are needing some inspiration, want to work on your writing, or just want to have some fun, we highly suggest participating!

Wrapping up this recap, we are celebrating KeichiAkechi24, who has hit 300 followers, and also the 3rd Life Anniversary! Woohoo!!

And as the last announcement, KingChocoFacialHair is leaving the Recap for a second time. (Okay so I'm the only one writing this chapter so it's a little awkward saying goodbye to myself so pretend this is some kind of reminiscent thing. Thank you all for the memories, I'll miss being on the recap! Who knows, maybe the third time's the charm! <3 -King)

To end off this chapter, please remember to respect Hermit's shipping boundaries (Impulse, Xisuma, Pearl, and Gem are all uncomfortable with being shipped). Regardless of the proof that has been shown, do not "leave it up to personal interpretation", or try to undermine the proof. Other people's boundaries are not up for you to decide, and please remember that! /pos

Sorry for the shorter chapter, again, we are having a bit of a rough time, and we will be sure to update you all on our status! Have a great week, and we will see you again soon! <3
