    Summary

    Six years Tommy has spent his life stuck in this hellish routine of foster care. Thrown from house to house, the boy has long given up on the hope of finding a new home. A new family. Alas, his social worker has not yet given up on this foolish dream and is now sending him to a new family. The Watsons. How is Tommy supposed to feel when this family lives hours out of town, away from people, surrounded by forest? The father seems nice, but that's bound to change. The first brother is bloody terrifying. The second hates his guts. (The feeling is mutual buddy). And now he's stuck with them for Prime knows how long. Oh joy.
    But maybe this family is a bit more than what's at the surface. Maybe, he'll be alright. Maybe.

    Summary

    Tommy pressed a hand to the window. The sharp chill settled deep into the bones of his fingers, a stark reminder that this wasn’t a dream. His breath fogged the glass as he stared into the open expanse of space, at the endless sea of stars that he could see from so far away, yet seemed close enough to touch.

    The creature outside moved closer, and Tommy locked eyes with it. Slowly, almost gingerly, it pressed a palm against the glass, directly over Tommy’s own. It was green like the rest of its translucent skin, and unmistakably human.

    Tommy stared out from the silent bridge of the ship, and the impossible stared back.

     

    Or- A classic space AU obsession featuring Tommy as our resident space orc, the SBI as our eccentric alien family, and a conspiracy unraveling at the seams.

    Summary

    Sometimes unexpected things happen; maybe someone behind you pays for your coffee, sometimes you get aggressively abducted by hostile aliens in the dead of night, and it’s safe to say Tommy was NOT sipping on a free frap right now.

    Or: another space AU in which the alien crew aboard the S.S BI find a particularly endearing human on board, and things just go downhill from there (because we eat that shit up every time and crave more)

    Edit: this has been discontinued. Thank you all for the kudos and nice comments as they really made writing this fic worth it, but as we all know too many things have happened to this fandom in recent years to continue writing comfortably

    Summary

    The sky outside Tommy’s window was grey, close to a dark blue. A couple of birds Tommy would’ve known the name of if he had paid attention during his tutoring lessons flew about. He wondered where they were going. Perhaps somewhere nice.

    He flipped the pocket knife he had got for his birthday a long time ago. He rarely got anything anymore. It was silver, engraved with his name, Theseus. It was a pretty knife, sure. Up and down, up and down, up and down.

    A knock on the door made him drop his knife. He scrambled down from the windowsill, picking up his knife and putting it in his pocket.

    or, Tommy's family doesn't care for him very much, so he picks up some less-than-healthy habits

    Summary

    Dead things don’t always stay dead. Even after you shove a knife through their throat. Tommy had to learn that the hard way.

    Or,

    Tommy and his family have moved to a new town for Phil's job. Children have been going missing, and Phil is a detective assigned to the case. Despite the death of Phil's wife a year ago, their family is perfect.

    They're not at all neglectful towards Tommy. Everything is just fine.

    Until Tommy discovers a door in the wall. A door which takes him to another world, one that's all too similar to his own. And yet, is so much better in every way possible. Quite literally, a dream come true.

    Until Tommy discovers that the other version of his family aren't quite willing to let him leave. And once they've got a grip on him, they won't be letting him go home easily.

    Maybe this world isn't a dream after all...
