"Do you remember when the world used to love you as much as I did?"

There's a millennia old device that was fabricated as the answer to a love story between two Gods... you might know it as the 'Heart Drive.'

Forced into a broken world with nowhere left to turn, the Heart Drive Siblings, Glitchand Aster, would devote their entire lives escaping the withering paradise their mother, Fo'na, left behind. For a world without Her benevolence, is a legacy stripped of its creativity.

What is acceptance, if rules are meant to be broken? We abandon the unfamiliar, so that we may feel loved. The latter half is no different for our Red Drive, Glitch,on their never-ending search for feeling at home.

For home is a state of mind that could only ever exist in the end credits... 'The Ever Afterlife' we all crave. Bridges are doomed to collapse, while others are meant to be restored through time and its rose-tinted promises of healing.

At the end of this journey, they will reunite with this single question: How does one begin to live with death?

An interactive guidebook for cheating a life you never chose, and a story for rewriting the impending doom of two... Not to mention, an entire world tainted by their own tears.

I present to you, the Gamer's Guide to Ever After.

Ever wondered how the Smash Bros characters met each other? Me too. This Fanfic will be a non-canon story (obviously) and will include series that aren’t in Ultimate, such as Cuphead. Additionally, series that have WAY too many characters will be nerfed to have less characters, such as Final Fantasy. Sorry FF fans!) The series that I think have WAY less characters than they deserve, like Sonic the Hedgehog, (seriously, Nintendo? ONLY Sonic? At least add onemore..) will be buffed to include more characters. I don't know EVERYTHING about every franchise, so only ones that I know a decent amount of characters and lore from will be covered in detail. I apologize if one of your favorite series or characters is not included.

Endorria's eyes widened and Alex stared as black tendrils of darkness rose from the ground and created a sphere around them. Dark purple Ran through his veins, his skin turning an abnormal black, Void wheezed and Alex pulled him fully out before they tumbled to the ground.The massive dragon roared its eyes a bright purple, Alex scuffled backwards pulling Void who was passed out with him.

Alex and Void raised their locked hands to the sky continuing "ክዐሠ ጎ ጌቿኗ ዐቻ ሃዐሁ, ፕልጕቿ ፕዘቿቿ የዐጎነዐክቿዕ ጠጎክዕ ልክዕ ነዐሁረ ፕዐ ፕዘቿ ልክኗቿረ ዐቻ ዕቿልፕዘ ልክዕ ረቿፕ ዘጎነ ፕዪልሀቿረ ፕዐ ዘቿረረ ነረዐሠ ልክዕ የልጎክቻሁረ" they hissed, His bones went limp and clattered to the ground.The bones rattled before taking the shape of a mutated body and disappearing all together, it was silent for a few minutes as Alex and Void's eyes returned to normal and they landed gently on the ground ignoring the blood splattered on the grass.

"Thank you for going through so much with me" void said, Alex smiled.They stopped in front of the portal and Alex watched the liquid gold in the middle swirl around almost mesmerized, Void squeezed his hand. They stepped up into the crystal steps before void Hugged him tightly, the last embrace they'd ever experience.

When Chris, a relatively normal man with tons of local friends stumbles upon a door to secrets buried under his very home, he is welcomed openly into a world of forgotten stories and frightening truths.

❝The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, it seems.❞

Reality Steve separates himself from Galaxy Steve and dissipates from the amount of energy he uses. Cued by the death of Illusion Steve, the Infection resumes its place among the Steves. The Infection has such an impact on the server upon returning that a wave is sent out, affecting users and lores alike. FavreMySabre is bugged into the game and gets stuck, meaning that if he dies in Minecraft he dies in real life, too. The group splits into two: Guardian and Alizza stay at camp and the rest go to try and find someone to fix the Infection. Sabre keeps secrets from his friends until they can solve the main problem in their hands.

In the end, will they find the cure? Will FavreMySabre's companions uncover his secrets?

More importantly, what will they find?

Technoblade. The most feared man in the land yet, a loving friend. A protector. How did such a caring man become known as the villian? Where did this man start and where will this man end. . .

Note: Most events that take place in this book are based of my own headcannon. A lot of this book will not be cannon to the lore! So please to not use this as a cannon lore story. Thank you.

When 7 people wake up in a world that has no logic or reason, they must find a way to survive and defeat the Ender Dragon in this game. But, the only problem with playing this devious game of Minecraft, is that if you die in the game- you die in reality. While they have no memory of how they all ended up in this shenanigan, the stories of their previous lives shine through and even open some of the doors that blocked them before. Adventure! No logic! Puns! Welcome to the cubed world of Minecraft Hardcore.

(Currently in the process of being revised and rewritten. Right now, up to Chapter 8 [Rough Patches] has been rewritten. If the quality suddenly drops after that, well, I was a lot younger when I first wrote this. Also, I'm having writers block for MCHC S2, so rewriting this helps a lot.)
