    Summary

    Karkat's moirail meets his matesprit. It goes alright. Nothing's exploding yet, anyway. Karkat just has to translate, and mediate, and fix Dave, and keep Gamzee in line, and not flip his shit. Fucking easy. It's all under control.
    --
    Gamzee's moirail introduces him to his little alien flushcrush. It goes alright. Just the human's freaking out, and then Karkat's freaking out, and then when Gamzee goes to fix it it gets worse for some reason. It's not like the little squishy motherfuckers count as quadrants. So who knows what the big motherfucking deal is.
    --
    Dave's boyfriend brings around his other boyfriend, and Dave has an educational experience on the subject of quadrants. It goes alright. Except the guy's a handsy dick who doesn't speak basically any English and wears clown makeup. And Karkat seems to be making some kind of romance power-move at him to prove a point. And Dave's dripping blood all over his favorite pair of sweatpants.

    Summary

    ‘She glances at the park ranger again. Link, his nametag reads. His skin is tanned from the sun and a charming splattering of freckles dust his high cheekbones. A wild pretty boy, she concludes. Not one who could understand the scientific importance of the work they were doing here.’

    ---

    When the field season started, archaeology graduate student Zelda expected the regular challenges associated with field work: clueless undergraduates, rainy weather, and long hours at the site. What she didn’t expect was to meet Link, the quiet park ranger who shows her that there can be more to life than research.

    Summary

    “Wh— what?” Tommy choked out, his voice hoarse from the lack of use all day.

    The man rolled his eyes, as if he didn’t just ask a completely impolite question. “I said, do you have any booze?”

    Tommy sat still. He reached into his jacket pocket, his hand finding only a plastic pen. Could he stab this man with a plastic pen?

    Tommy pulled said piece of plastic out, visibly holding it up. “I have a pen.” Something about the bemused look on the man's face made Tommy click it, and again, repeatedly.

     

    click click click click click click click click—

     

    ...

    or; Tommy planned on dying. He meets Wilbur instead.

    Summary

    Tommy has always been the fighter.

    He has never been the fought for, and he knows it, with every whisper Tubbo directs at Ranboo, with every glance thrown his way- Tommy knows, the way he wishes he didn't, that they think he's dead.

    If they're so convinced he's still dead, maybe the one good thing left he can do for them is die.

    ---

    Or, Tommy gets addicted to being dead and thinks that nobody cares about him. The people who very much do try to pull him back from the brink before Dream can't resurrect him anymore.

    Summary

    Red Chaos was the name the world had bestowed upon him, and Dream had laughed as he dragged Tommy down against his chest in a rough sprawl back against the couch, squeezing him tight after their first official mission together.

    Tommy had done good and Dream had been proud.

    -

    Siren shifts, a look Tommy can’t be bothered to understand flashing briefly before his shoulders roll into a shrug.

    “You saved my life.”

    I know, Tommy thinks, lips drawing back in an ugly grimace. It ruined mine.

    -

    The morning paper lies discarded on the couch beside him with black bold headlines:

    RED CHAOS: HERO OR VILLAIN?

    Summary

    Ranboo remembers the days when he would kneel at his bed to pray before the nuns turned out the lights and begged God that he’d be the next kid to go.

    He was a good kid; he was helpful, he was kind, he was humble, he was everything the nuns raised him to be.

    But nobody ever wanted him.

    Not even his own parents.

     

    (alternatively; ranboo's the oldest kid at a catholic orphanage. strange run-ins with mysterious people and strange abilities make him question everything he's ever known about the world and of himself. but maybe he'll get a new family out of it.)

    Summary

    "He's a problem child."

    Tommy immediately began tuning out the conversation. His social worker was on the phone with some guy that he was told to not 'scare away'. He had planned to listen in to the conversation as much as he could since he got bored of scratching the paint off of the old as shit office chair. The blond boy was scraping his nails clean with a pen when the phone was suddenly in his face. He just blatantly dropped the pen on the floor before taking it, not listening to whatever Mariah was angrily whispering to him.

    "So, whaddya' wanna know big man?"

    ---

    Or; Having no family isn't the most fucked up thing about Tommy

    So he fits right in

    Or also; I can't just write something happy can I?

    Or thirdly; tfw a fucking vent fic blows up lol

    Summary

    Summary

    “Why did you even help me,” Tommy says flatly. “If you obviously hate me so much.”

    “You’re Phil’s kid," Techno says. "You’re Wilbur’s brother. I wasn’t just gonna let you freeze to death in the middle of a blizzard.”

    Tommy scoffs. “Oh, and that’s it, is it? You know you’re supposed to be those things too, right?”

    “Well, I’m not,” Techno snaps back, though the words drive something deep into his chest. “I’m not.”

    Tommy is living with Techno now, and everything is complicated.

    Summary

    All Dream wants is for Tommy to listen to him. It's a hard lesson to learn.

     

    "You're a fucking bastard," Tommy snarls at Dream, whose expression is unreadable behind his mask. 

     

    Dream tilts his head, and Tommy swears he can hear a smirk in his voice. 

     

    "You'll learn to love me."

    Summary

    “You’re awake?”

    Tommy can’t talk. His throat hurts too badly, and he doesn’t know what it would even sound like if he tried. But he manages a tiny nod. Even that makes his temples throb.

    “That’s good,” The hand on his shoulder slides up, running through his slightly damp hair. “I’ll get you some potions and food in a minute. How are you feelin’?”

    It clicks into place with sharp clarity; that’s Technoblade.
