[transcript]

I'm back from the dead and I'm here to offer more of whatever this family is

My favorites honestly

I think I’m going to end up expanding this one into a full fic. Or just make a fic about the adventures of this godly family. I feel like it would be very cute, but also full of funny hijinks.

Let me know if that would be interesting to y’all!

Joel had dropped Hermes off in Tumble Town just after lunch, citing that the child had wanted to spend more time with their new sibling. Jimmy certainly didn’t mind having Hermes over on his day off, as spending more time with the small child had shown that Hermes was a polite, inquisitive boy who was a sweetheart.

After helping Jimmy put Tom down for a nap, though it was really just handing his baby brother a stuffed toy after Jimmy had gotten him situated, Hermes turned to Jimmy with a question: “Mr. Sheriff, if you’re Tom’s Pa, are you my Pa too?”

“What makes you ask that, Hermes?”

“I heard some of the kids in Sanctuary talking about how they had a new Papa who was the same one as their baby sister. So does that make you my Pa, since Tom is my baby brother?”

“I think that’s a conversation we need to have with your Daddy and Papi, Hermes.”

Hermes’ head tilted for a moment, “Oh, okay. When can we do that?”

“They’re both coming over for dinner, so we can ask them then.”

~~~

Sausage and Joel arrived just as Jimmy was pulling dinner out of the furnace, having allowed Hermes to help him put together the veggie quiche before sliding it in the oven. Hermes was especially proud of adding cheese over the top part way through the baking, even if he had to take a break from playing with Tom to do so.

“Hermes, your fathers are here and dinner is ready! Go wash your hands and then come say hello,” Jimmy instructed, smiling as the child shouted an affirmative in response. “Welcome back to Tumble Town, you two.”

“Hi Jimmy, how was Hermes?” Sausage asked, pulling Jimmy into a hug for a quick squeeze before stepping back again. “Very sweet, as always,” the sheriff replied, tilting his head to accept the kiss Joel pressed to his cheek before dipping out of the room quickly to retrieve Tom, returning just before Hermes came barrelling into the kitchen.

“Papi, Daddy! I missed you!”

“We missed you too, Hermes. Did you have a good afternoon with Jimmy?”

Hermes nodded furiously, “Mhm! Can Mr. Sheriff be my Pa like he’s Tom’s?”

“What?”

“Mr. Sheriff said we could ask you. Jemma in Sanctuary has a new Papa because she has a new baby sister now, so if Mr. Sheriff is Tom’s Pa, can he be mine too?”

The child’s two fathers shared a glance with Jimmy, who simply smiled at them and shrugged.

Sausage leant down, “Would you like that?”

“Yeah! Then I get a Papi, Daddy, AND a Pa. And so does Tom!”

YEAH I KNOW

Am I just the person you go to now for fanchildren? Cause I think other people do it, except they can like actually draw lol

Anyways if you don’t know what’s going on, Sausage did like a little improv play with Joel, dressed as Etho, and at the end he showed of that they had a child, named Jeremy Jr, who of course was an armor stand with a mob head. A Ghast head actually, which was fun

Here he is, in all of his glory. I wanted to stray a little from Jassy’s design and not have them look so alike, which I mainly did by choosing not to have the green streak, and having him have more loose fitting clothes, almost baggy. I also wanted to incorporate some of the ghast design, but apart from making him paler than I intended, there just wasn’t a lot. Ghast designs are cool, but difficult to incorporate into the design of a child. Maybe he’s just very loud, a la Apollo chords of steel style. Don’t ask why he’s holding a doll btw I just wanted him to do something stereotypically child like cause yeah.

He’s cute though, I do like him. Maybe I’ll make an adult design for him, if he ever returns, though I doubt that.

I also realized while making him that I never made a Hermes design, which like how dare I. So, here he is as well

I didn’t do anything super unique with his design, I think the fandom sorta has a solid idea of what he looks like and I really like that design. I did however add the bandana, which for those of you who remember back during the hermitpires arc, that when Jassy left for Hermitcraft she gave her mask to him, as a way to remember her. He wears it as a bandana as you can see, but sometimes as a mask when he’s playing cowboy

Also thinking of making an adult design for him, cause I do have some ideas, most of which include wing shoes. I tried to make those, I really did, but it was difficult so I just gave up lol

He knows, deep down, it's a mistake to fall in love again. It broke him before, quite literally. But, Joel (as much as he pretends he isn't), is a bleeding heart. Who couldn't see Sausage smile, hear his laugh and his optimism for the future, and not be taken in by it?

Well. Lots of people, apparently, but that's besides the point.

Sausage treats nature with the same kindness and respect Joel used to hold the mother tree in, so many years ago. The world itself seems to come to his beck and call, and Joel can't blame it.

Hermes was a complete accident, and one he thought would scare Sausage away. Up until then it was just... Fooling around. Joel was still too afraid of commitment, Sausage was too afraid to push. But Sausage deserved to know about Hermes, even if that meant pushing Joel away. Instead, Sausage came even closer.
