(Inspired by all the hermit!Tommy, hermit!Tubbo, hermit!Fundy fanfics on Ao3.)

(I’m very sorry, I do not know any lore of the DSMP, I only watch Hermitcraft. The only things I have on DSMP lore is from fanfics and youtube. You can make your own history on the DSMP and trauma.)

The void was cold. It was empty, silent, and so dark you could barely see your fingertips when you stretched out your arm. It was numbing. Terrifying… Peaceful almost. If there was nothing in the void, then there was nothing that could hurt you but yourself. The last thing you remember.. running from Dream as he tried to take your last canon life, then falling into this.. place.

You honestly had no idea how long you had been in the darkness. Minutes felt like hours, and hours like seconds. You had no idea how you had even ended up here unless this was death, but it didn’t look like limbo, so you just floated. For a little while you had tried screaming. The blackness swallowed your voice, and your throat hurt so you stopped trying.

The more time you had to think, the more you thought that you were dead. You never felt the impact to the ground, but maybe the velocity gathered from falling from build height did something. You didn’t know. You were too tired to figure it out.

Time passed. Or maybe it didn’t. Either way, you wondered where you were going to end up. As much as the void swallowed your senses, you could tell that you were moving in a direction you would vaguely call ‘down’, which, you supposed, meant he had a destination. You blacked out. When you came to, you were falling from the sky.

You tried to push yourself off the ground, your chest heaved in the attempt to restore air to your lungs, but your injuries from running from Dream made it hard to move your body, so you fell back to the grass. You made the decision to just lie there for a moment and turned your attention to your communicator, which was going off. Who knows, maybe your friends were having another argument or something. The messages however, made your stomach drop. You weren’t in DSMP anymore.

(Context info: You do not know about how there are infinite lives in Hermitcraft, so you currently think that all servers have the canon lives thing, the End was banned in DSMP, so you’ve never been to the End or used an Elytra. The Hermits don’t know anything about what happened in DSMP.)
