I have a few favorites! I will be breaking my own "maximum of 5 people per ask" rule here, I hope you will all forgive me--I picked 5 fics only to realize two of them had co-authors.

Covet by @digitalta !

I am not immune to Watcher!Grian or creatures. There was a time I had read almost all of the Watcher!Grian fic in the tag a few years ago and this one stood out to me as one of the best. It hits a trope I am a huge fan of and, while I am not entirely caught up anymore due to business in life, I enjoyed every chapter while I was following it. If you want a very unique take on Watcher!Grian, this is a good one.

dog at the door by @fluffy-papaya + @betweenlands !

I do not often reread fics, but this one I have read multiple times. I really enjoy this characterization and abilities of the Red King (a character I love dearly) and the setting / set up of this fic is really unique. The writing here is really solid!

L'Appel du Vide by @pixelfun20 !

If you like Third Life desert duo angst (something I enjoy greatly), this is a fun one. I remember really enjoying Grian's mindset after winning Third Life in this one, as well as the writing style being really engaging.

Team Mortal by @yoeyrt + @maybeanss !

This one is just a really fun series. Etho, Grian. Mumbo, Scar, and Bdubs is a fantastic team and I love ghost hunting. Very funny. I need to read more Etho fic.

I read this so long ago I hardly remember any details, but it still came to mind when asking about favorite fics. It was a very interesting read and a really strange, surreal premise and world, which I adored. I still think about it from time to time.

Thank you for the ask! I love an excuse to highlight fic.

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: the image is of photo of a pencil sketch of a seven frame comic for a scene from Chapter 21 of the Hermitcraft fanfic, The Coding Conundrum by pixelfun20.

The first frame shows a semi-detailed Cub dressed in his pharoh's outfit with his arms folded across his chest. There are armbands around his biceps and bracelets on his wrist. He looks exasperated. There is a speech bubble to the right of his head that reads. "Anyone have any ideas on what to do?"

The second frame has simplified drawings of Tango, Stress, and Mumbo. Tango has his feet up on the table and his arms behind his head looking bored, Stress has a simplified hand put to her chin and a flower crown on her head looking thoughtful, and Mumbo is wearing a short sleeved dress shirt with a tie and has no moustache and has a nervous expression. All three have question marks hovering over their heads.

The third frame is nested inside the bigger fourth frame. In the third frame, a simplified Scar in his wizard's robe without the beard has a look of surprise on his face as he hits his fist onto his open palm. There's an exclamation point to the right of his head.

The fourth frame is of a semi-detailed Scar turned three-quarters to the left. On his right cheek are three scars curving from under his eye down to his jaw, while on his left cheek is a scar that is almost touching the corner of his mouth. He has prominent cheekbones and a sharp nose that slightly slopes upwards at the tip. He is smiling as he says. "Hit Wels really hard over the head?"

The fifth frame is nested inside the sixth frame. A simplified Cub is staring speechlessly forwards. To his right is a speech bubble with an ellipsis inside it.

The sixth frame has another semi-detailed Cub pinching the bridge of his nose, obviously annoyed. There is a speech bubble to his left that reads. "We're not making him lose his memories like that." The "not" is underlined.
