A Story of Tragedy and Sorrow by MarvelDreamer
Fandoms: Minecraft (Video Game), Video Blogging RPF
18 Jan 2021
Tags
Summary
Ranboo breaks down in his panic room for the first time in forever, with only the comfort of his pets to keep him from ending it all. His face burns from the tears and his throat is sore from all of his garbled chatters, but the voice that sounds so similar to the very person he hates the most won't leave him alone.
Philza got lost and ends up finding a child in need of comfort, and though his mind immediately goes to the other sons he's failed before, he can't think about it now.
It's a story of Tragedy and Sorrow, but maybe there's hope for an end.

Now, Phil is alone, haunted by the color red.

Ranboo hears something he wasn't meant to, and leaves his little house in the arctic to go back home. When he discovers that 'home' doesn't want him back, though, he has to face the reality that he is just as alone as he always was.
As time passes, most of the SMP gives up their search for him, but one person doesn't. They need to hurry, though. The longer he's alone, the more he wonders what there is to live for.
Far away from where he's alone in isolation, there grows a place for the abandoned. What will it take for him to find it, if he does? What are the stories of the others who find shelter there?
A dysfunctional family with members who all need help- he'll fit right in.

Summary
"Morally, Nook knew that eavesdropping was wrong. He’d been coded to do what was right, all the time, consistently, so of course he knew that listening in on a conversation he wasn’t involved in was wrong, but he was concerned. He was concerned about Sam, who looked as if he was deteriorating into nothing. He was concerned about Ranboo, who’s scars on his face were looking more prominent. Most of all, though, he was worried about Tommy. He hadn’t heard anything from Tommy in ages, and it just wasn’t like him to go silent for that long."
-or-
Nook wasn't made with a heart or the capacity to love, but he does it anyway.

There was a pause, before his Uncle started talking. “Well, mine are about… uh, things that have happened to me, and things that I’m afraid will happen. Sometimes it helps to talk about them, if you want to?”
Michael nodded. “Mine are about you and Papa fighting over Dada and…” This hadn’t gone to plan. Now he was spilling, not his uncle. He needed to do this quickly and get his uncle talking or it’d be morning and he’d have made no progress. “And forgetting about me,” he finished. “I’m scared you won’t love me anymore.”
