Summary
Look, it's not that bad. There might've been an accident while mining and Ranboo wants to just lay down and never get up, but he can't skip training with Techno! It's fine! He's fine!
It's fine.

Summary
Techno didn't think he had anything to worry about from the Eggpire. They're a joke, pretty harmless if not annoying with their constant prattling about the egg.
Boy was he wrong. When the Eggpire is desperate for new members, they take things to the extreme.

Summary
There’s two rules every hiker should follow when going up the mountain: wear sunscreen, and drink water.
Wilbur, the born and bred Utahn he is, failed to follow both of those. You would think that he would’ve remembered the routine by now with how often Phil takes him on hikes, but one he didn’t want to carry all that junk and two Phil woke him up at 3:00 in the morning.
The sunrise was worth it, casting the valley below in the beautiful oranges and purples of the day. It wasn’t cold; Utah’s dry heat is curbed by the lack of immense sun but never completely gone.
What he forgot to realize is that the sun rises quickly in summer. It also gets hot pretty quickly.

Summary
He’s dying.
Ranboo could feel it. The spear pierced through his armor and he can feel the life blood draining out of him. Even if they could reach a medic in time, there’s nothing they could do. He’ll bleed out on the hard packed sand, alone and growing cold in a blistering desert.
“Ranboo!”
Oh.

Summary
“But we can get out,” Ranboo breathes, daring to hope. “We can finally leave!”
They’d been planning on escaping for months. Potions, food, supplies, anything they could find to help them get out of this hell hole. They were going to break out, finally leave, and Techno was finally going to find Philza again-
“Like I said, no promises-”
“That’s okay!” Finally, after years of progress, they’re getting somewhere! “I mean, it’s a longshot, but there’s a chance! Techno this is wonderful!”
-----------
Technoblade and Ranboo have been fighting in the arena for as long as they can remember. It's time to break free.

I fell in love with the fire long ago by Copperbolt

Summary
Now he was pacing back and forth on the mossy ground, digging out his silver cigarette case from his breast pocket, not bothering with the beat-up cigarette holder. As he raised the cigarette to his lips, he hissed out a swear. He didn't have a lighter on him, he'd fallen out of the habit long ago. Wasn't that just fucking peachy? To have the very object of his frustration shoved into his face like that, a big, red, fiery dependency.

Summary
He ran, and ran, and ran. No energy was spent on counting the minutes or navigating or anything else. He was a young man again, shackles bruising his flesh, legs aching as he forced foot after foot through the terrain. He had better shoes now, so no blisters and calluses formed on bleeding feet, though the pain of continuous force on his legs remained. It mixed with the chill numbing his fingers and face.
He tightened his hold on Kremy, just to remind himself that he was still there. The only thing separating his present from his past. The manifestation of luck turned around.

Summary
"...Fuck," Gideon quietly cursed. After a moment of consideration, he stepped on the refill pedal. The loud sound of pressurized water running through the pipes filled his small enclosure. It gave him a brief moment in which any other noise wouldn't be overhead.
"FUCK!!!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. Flames rippled across his red skin, his dark brown hair and beard flaring hot with white and yellow light. He slammed a foot into the metal floor below him, adding to the collection of dents there. He twisted and jerked his arms, thrashing against the chains binding him to the engine. As always, the magical manacles held fast, leaving him with nothing to show for his efforts but bruised wrists.(how Gideon escapes the hobgoblin train and meets Kremy)
Author's note: This fic is pretty dark (angst, graphic violence, gore)
skip to chapter 5 if you just want to see Gideon and Kremy meeting and don't wanna read about Gideon's time as a prisonerBookmarked by Cymbalthunder

Summary
a fight in the feywilds goes awry and it has lasting consequences on kremy lecroux.
“Don’t do that shit again; you hear me?” Kremy murmurs and despite the pain he knows the bastard must feel, Gideon smiles slightly, lips curling into a toothy grin. Gods, there’s blood there too. “What sort of bodyguard are you meant to be if you get killed for chasing some tail?” Gideon chortles, sighing softly and groaning with the jolting movement of his wounds.
“Guess I’d be a pretty shit one.” Gideon replies and his eyes flutter in pain; he exhales shakily and glances at him, looking at him with something resembling scrutiny. “Guess that makes me a pretty shit husband too.”

Summary
"How many times is this?" Wild asks, giving him a small smile as a greeting.
Time sighs. "The last one."
"And how many times have you said that to me?"
It’s said matter-of-factly, not overconfidently, and Time hates that Wild knows that it’s not his first, second or even third reset.
And to think all Time's current problems would be solved if Wild just got out of his way.
A.K.A. Unstoppable force meets immovable object.
Or the Sans boss fight but the only stake is Time's sanity. And maybe his life. But mostly his sanity.Bookmarked by Cymbalthunder
