Summary
Life has settled. Tommy is in school, is excelling in school, both his father and brother have steady jobs to support their little family of three. Their house is clean, safe, and always has dinner at the end of the day. Tommy is happy, because today is the same as yesterday is the same as the day before, and life is predictable and secure.
But not all are so patient with sameness. Wilbur has a dream: to write opera, to write something that will be remembered for ages to come. It should have been a harmless dream, but for a man used to nothing but being no one, the idea of being someone is an epiphany.
Life has settled, but it becomes unsettled twice as fast.
or, a historical au set in early 1910s England, where a boy watches his brother make sacrifices for something so intangible as music.

Summary
Sally is married now, but she feels as alone as ever. She lives in their apartment, but it never quite feels like a home. She is safe and secure - at long last - but life feels just as dangerous as it always did. Being married is not the salvation she thought it would be. Wilbur may have helped her escape from the brothel, but he is no knight in shining armour, and some days, she wonders whether she would reject him, if she could go back and do it all again.
Ah, well. What is it they say?
Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
(or, a set of three scenes illustrating the life that Sally accidentally ran away to.)

Summary
Of course Tommy volunteers. Of course he does.
Phil's sense of duty runs through his veins, and Techno's insistence on hard work (and good work) give him the bravery to do what needs to be done. The war awaits. Justice awaits. Tommy will do what he thinks is right.
Tubbo couldn't just let him go alone, could he?
(or, the last words a soldier had to offer to his loved ones)
