I have no brain today, so for September have some recs for Hermitcraft fic. (Not the ones that I want to write three paragraphs of praise about, I will hopefully get to those next month.)

Summary: Doc comes back to Hermitcraft with a baby Ender Dragon.
Pitfalls ensue.
Why I like it: Doc absolutely would. Nice fluff, mostly Doc + Buttercups.

Three Black Crows by

Aard_Rinn
5.1k, gen, Hermitcraft Recap
Summary: Season Four: Xisuma's server has two Watchers. It's understandably off-putting - there are a lot of secrets buried in the soft green grass of the server. Tired gods. The creepers who fight them. Herobrine, sometimes.
Season Five: Xisuma's server has two Watchers. They're - harmless, honestly. The tired gods checked. So did some gods who are not so tired. So did Herobrine, but he didn't mention it to anyone. Zloy and Pixl, as far as anyone can tell, are Good People, inasmuch as it's possible for Watchers to be good. Or people.
Season Six: Xisuma's server has three Watchers.
Why I like it: Maybe my favorite take on Watcher lore, I love this take on the Recap team. They're meant to only watch, but, well. It's hard not to get attached. Fortunately Hermitcraft is special.

ethos exciting ninja vacation by

37k, gen, Naruto crossover, crack
Summary: Here’s the thing. Etho meant to go to Hermitcraft- he really did. But something obviously got messed up- some wire got crossed, some thread got tangled, and now he was not there. Instead, he’s stuck with three kids who seem to think that he’s a guy named Kakashi (them and everyone else) and while he would work on leaving, all the fuss is pretty entertaining.
Eh, he’ll find his way home eventually. No need to rush…
Why I like it: Good crack. Seeing the people from Konoha+other countries try to deal with the Hermits is fun, especially if you enjoy seeing them suffer. Etho is just a very chill guy! A different kind of sneaky ninja. And he teaches team 7 redstone.
The main fic is finished, there might still be additional fics added to the series.

The Body Shot Incident by

3.7k, various pairings (mostly hinted at) including Scar/Grian
Summary: “Are you sure this is a good idea?” asks Mumbo, fiddling with the buttons of his shirt. He’s trying to delay the inevitable – primarily, being shirtless in front of a lot of people with Scar ‘Godlike Abs’ Goodtimes right next to him for comparison. It’s not working very well. “Just, I can think of, off the top of my head, oh, sixteen ways this could go wrong. At least three of them end with us respawning. At least.”
“Oh, no!” Scar, already reclining across a table in a distinctly louche manner, is nude from the waist up and looking distinctly self-satisfied about it. If anybody present knew who Jeff Goldblum was, multiple comparisons would have already been made. “It’s a terrible idea, and it’s going to go horribly wrong.”
(The origin story of the Hermitcraft server party tequila ban, feat. a body shots contest, Mumbo's body hair, Scar's natural reactions, Bdubs being a complete fucking freak, Pearl's love affair with prosecco, and ambiguous pants removal.)
Why I like it: The other kind of crack, this one had me grinning all the way through. Poor Mumbo. "If you want the rewards of bathroom makeouts, you have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of doing crimes with us! You should know that by now.” xD
