    Summary

    Maybe Brendan and Tommy weren't whole - or even close to it - but they were damn sure better together than they'd been apart.

    Summary

    "You scared?" says Frank after a moment, tilting his head.

    "Of you?" scoffs Tommy.

    "Of a grill at Brendan's place," says Frank. "Maybe his two baby girls?"

    Yes, Tommy doesn't say. He's fucking terrified. He can't have that— that perfect family, that happiness, because he'll fuck it up, and then he'll lose it, and he's bone-tired of losing things.

    Thirty prompts for Tommy Conlon and Adam Lerner, not necessarily updated every day. I've changed some of the prompts that I wasn't familiar with or felt like didn't fit with the rest of the prompts.

    Summary

    A year after nine months spent in prison, Tommy Conlon is trying to get his life in order. He's got an apartment, a steady schedule of fights, a therapist, and a hefty but manageable case of PTSD. Things are okay with his dad, increasingly better with his brother, and finally fitting together into some semblance of a life. No pills, very little booze, and a truly incredible service dog named Theo--all-in-all, a recipe for stability. What better moment for a stranger to roll into his life and--pardon the pun--knock him right out. Featuring an OC in a wheelchair.

      Bookmark Notes:

      This is so good --- I have so many feelings about Warrior; it's gotta be one of my favourite movies ever and I bawl whenever I watch it.

      Tommy is one of my favourite characters ever, he's so angry and damaged and the first time I watched Warrior I was so enraged and pissed off and heartbroken at the end. It's such an emotional movie, and I love this fic bc Tommy has someone instead of the movie where's he angry and alienated from everyone ( and just get the movies supposed to be kinda a out reconnecting with family and forgiveness and catharsis, but when I watch it all I can think is that Tommy basically gets fucked over by everyone including himself and ends up no better off really)

    Summary

    "Freshman prodigy" wrestler Tommy Conlon has a lot to lose when he and his mother escape his abusive, alcoholic father to drive across the country and start a new life. His brother is only one of the things he loses. Even making a new, good friend in Tacoma isn't enough to change things, not really.

    This fic covers a timeframe stretching from shortly before Tommy and Mrs. Conlon leave Pittsburgh until the time Tommy enlists in the Marines, approximately 3 years. BTW, this is NOT the Tommy of the TLRH series. Completely different story arc.
