Timeloop!AU (Twisted Timelines) Timeline v1

Image Transcriptions:

Using actual years to keep things straight with January of the year Grian leaves Evo as year zero. Semi Color Coded: Black: Written/Planned Oneshots Blue: Watcher Stuff Red: Evo Stuff/Future!Grian Shenanigans Green: Hermitcraft Stuff Yellow: Other (Life Series, Empires, etc)

Year Zero The dragon fight on Evo occurs mid-September, after which Grian leaves the Server to train with the Greater Watchers (One and Two). (Note: Joe is there, Grian just occasionally sees Herobrine's eyes.) The Evolutionists begin to gradually leave the Server just over a month after Grian leaves (mid- to late-October). They have all left by the end of the year.

Year One Grian (now dubbed Xelqua) spends the entire year training with One and Two. Late January: Grian speaks with Joe for the first time. (Note: Joe has not yet lived through Hermitcraft alongside Grian, but he's known Grian for at least a decade, and quite possibly centuries. (Just how old is Herobrine, after all?)) Mid-February: Far Future!Grian begins traveling back in time to periodically meet up with Mumbo. (Notes: A. He lacks a physical form because of time travel, but he's from a far enough future that the form he projects is believably Grian, not a humanoid mass of eyes. (He uses Watcher powers to interact with the world [i.e. building] and avoids physical contact.) B. It has been so long since Evo (and probably since moving on from Hermitcraft) that his memory is fuzzy, so he avoids talking about Evo. (Mumbo comes to the misconception that Grian just doesn't want to talk about it. This later helps Present!Grian because Mumbo brushes off when he dodges questions.)) This continues through mid-May of year three. Mid-September (exactly one year since Grian left Evo): Grian gets the tattoo. Present!Grian meets Future!Grian for the first time. (Notes: This is the only time Future!Grian talks to Present!Grian like a normal person. They set ground rules for interacting when crossing their own timeline. The tattoo consists of a mock-up of the Watcher emblem (missing its corners) to symbolize Grian's age before becoming a Watcher. A line is added every year afterward.)

Year Two Xelqua is training with One and Two for the entire year. Far Future!Grian travels back in time to periodically meet up with Mumbo over the course of the year. Grian's tattoo is updated in mid-September.

Year Three Far Future!Grian travels back in time to periodically meet up with Mumbo until mid-May. Xelqua is training with One and Two until late May, after which he arrives in Mumbo's solo world. Mid- to Late-July: Season 6 of Hermitcraft starts and Grian becomes a Hermit. Early August: "Faith (Before There Was Made a God)" oneshot takes place. Grian learns that Xisuma is a follower of Xelqua. "“Faith” Is a Fine Invention" oneshot wherein Grian trains with Joe occurs within a week later. Grian's tattoo is updated in mid-September. Early to mid-November: "Sorting Through My Life's Debris" oneshot occurs wherein Grian meets Evil Xisuma for the first time.

Year Four Mid-March: Evil Xisuma is banned from Hermitcraft. Grian's tattoo is updated in mid-September. Look at all this free real estate...

Year Five Early February: Scar snippet. (This part is important to the overall story, but it's still too short to upload to ao3. Maybe someday... It will be vaguely alluded to in the meantime.) Late February: Season 6 of Hermitcraft ends and season 7 begins. (Note: Evil Xisuma manages to sneak in during the world transfer.) The Nether of the Hermitcraft Server is reset in mid- to late-June. Early July: "Look Into My Eyes (Tell Us All Your Fears)" oneshot occurs. Using the room built in that oneshot, Grian checks on EX [Xavier] at least once a month. (Although he tries to come every other week, Grian and EX are both worried that too frequent/routine of visits would raise suspicions.) This continues through the end of season 7. Grian's tattoo is updated in mid-September.

Year Six Third Life starts in mid- to late-April. The oneshot "Into the Void of Sight (His Own Reputation)" is marked as having occurred here because it focuses on Third Life, but it covers moments from the beginning of Hermitcraft season 7 through the end of Third Life. Mid-June: Season 7 of Hermitcraft ends, and season 8 begins roughly a week later. "Blessed by a Curse" oneshot occurs in late June. "Old, New, and Similar Faces" oneshot is listed afterwards chronologically, although it consists of two parts -- one before "Blessed by a Curse" and one afterward in early July. Grian's tattoo is updated in mid-September. Late September: Last Life starts. Late October: The moon begins to grow. Late December: "Two Seconds to Midnight" oneshot (currently unposted but coming soon!). Season 8 ends.

Year Seven Early March: Hermitcraft season 9 starts. (Author note: This is a long time for the Hermits to be stuck on the Hermitheus, which leaves the opportunity for oneshots of either Hermits on the ship, Hermits traveling to solo/other Servers, or I simply move the beginning of season 9 back a couple of months. Thoughts?) Mid-June: Double Life starts. There is a oneshot drabble planned here that is important to the story, but it is currently too short for ao3. Grian's tattoo is updated in mid-September. Late October: Hermits cross through the rift onto the Empires Server. There is a yet-unnamed but nearly complete oneshot here. Early December: The Hermits that went through the rift return to Hermitcraft, bringing a few members of the Empires Server with them. Late December: The Empires Server members return home.
