    Summary

    Weapons must be perfect.

    A hidden fault or an unnoticed imbalance in the blade of a sword can be the difference between life and death on the battlefield. A blacksmith is careful with such things, watchful and alert during the forging of a weapon. There can be no imperfections. Certainly not if the weapon is a gift for the Lady of Death and her angel.

    Technoblade's trainers know this, and they shape him to be perfect.

    ~

    OR, child Techno is trained to be a living weapon and is given to Phil and Kristin, who don't realize that he is very much sentient. This causes problems.

    Summary

    “What do you want, my son?” Talia asked him. “What do you truly want?”

    And when Jason pushed aside his obsession with Bruce, the answer was so clear. He knew exactly what he wanted. He knew what he’d always wanted, ever since he was that little street rat who spent money he needed for food on making himself look clean. Because he’d needed to look clean and presentable to get into the public libraries. Because they wouldn’t have let a dirty homeless kid touch the books.

    “I want to go to college.”

    And Talia had made that happen for him.

    (AU where, at the end of his League of Assassins training, Jason decides to go to Metropolis for college instead of going back to Gotham for revenge. Things spiral from there. The title is so sarcastic by the way. There’s nothing regular about Jason Todd.)

    Summary

    Wilbur tilts his head and tries to keep an ear out for the tell-tale sound of chirping, but the room is as quiet as it can be, save for Tommy’s complaining groan in the corner. “Are you sure it’s a cricket?”

    “Yes!”

    Wilbur listens again. “I don’t hear anything.”

    “It’s a cricket, I saw it with my own two eyes. It wasn’t a grasshopper, it wasn’t green, it was all brown and ugly and evil.”

    “The cricket isn’t out to get you, Tommy.”

    “That’s what it fucking wants you to think.”

    Summary

    (Yes the title is from sofia the first, yes I'm laughing at it, I find it funny-)

    In which Phil has created the Antarctic Empire from the ground up and takes in Techno and Wilbur along the way, and raises them while also ruling his kingdom. Tommy, sixteen, lives with Tubbo in an orphanage, the two of them running around in the cold streets of their town.

    After a hectic day of getting separated from Tubbo, getting into a few fights, and ending up in an entirely new town, he comes across Phil, and saves him from an assassination attempt by smashing a plate over someone's head.

    So then both Techno and Wilbur decide to see who this kid is, and Tommy sure is endearing, in the way that the first time they spy on him, he starts a fight in an alleyway over a bag of cookies.

    (and then Tommy basically gets kidnapped into the royal family, but like, legally, y’know?)

    Summary

    The royal family of Antarctic empire isn’t exactly close.

    Emperor Philza is always occupied; Tommy hasn’t seen Techno in months, and even if Wilbur is here, their relationship can be described to be strained at best.

    The royal family doesn’t need to be close, however, it only needs to be balanced, like the pillars holding the country above their heads – as long as they are strong and steady, the Empire will be too. It’s the principle that held Tommy’s back straight and his shoulders broad through the years of hardships and trials of errors; through yet another formal meeting where his father’s gaze would look past him and where his brother’s words would be filled with poison that makes the deepest parts of his soul ache.

    At that time, Tommy couldn't know that his family would find a replacement for him in the face of a commoner boy named Ranboo.

    ~🦋~

    Tommy's family has replaced him. It's only fair that he gets to do the same.
