    Summary

    But Wilbur is a ball and chain in the middle of the sea, slowly but steadily dragging himself down to the ocean floor with Tommy unknowingly trapped inside his cuff. It’s unfair that Tommy has had to drown with Wilbur for so many years, desperately trying to swim both of them back to the surface. It’s fruitless, and Tommy wonders sometimes if it would be better to just cut the chain that binds them together. To let Wilbur sink on his own, while Tommy heads for air.

    He could never do that though; as much as he wants to. He’ll let Wilbur sink them both, and Tommy will swim and thrash as the surface grows more and more distant. Hoping and wishing for a lifeboat. For someone to help them to shore, and to pull Tommy’s freezing body into their warm, loving arms and drape a towel over his wet shoulders.

    He thinks Phil might be that person, Techno too. Tommy wants to let them be and he wishes for Wilbur to want that too.

    OR: Wilbur and Tommy are brothers in the foster system. Wilbur is struggling with addiction, Tommy is always left to pick up the pieces. But now with Techno and Phil here, hopefully they’ll be able to help. (Only Wilbur does not want help.)

    Summary

    Which hurts worse? broken bones or a collar?

    (Neither. A promise of kindness kills faster than any weapon.)

    ((So why isn't he dead yet?))

    For as long as he can remember, Techno's been a fighter, a weapon, a tool for others to use and discard.

    Maybe this time would be different. Maybe this time sweet words wouldn't come with stinging fists and promises of pain. Maybe this time he could finally wash the blood from his hands and live a simple life.

    Eh.

    Probably not.

    -----

    Buried to his eyes in debt from both his own failings and his son's stupid decisions, Philza Craft is forced to do the one thing he promised himself he would never do.

    Buy a slave to enter the rings.

     

    aka, the fic where Techno is an abused fighter and Philza unwittingly adopts him into his chaotic family. Will he learn he's more than a weapon to be used? Yes. Will it take a considerable amount of time and convincing? Yes. Will it be easy? Heck no, especially not with their pasts looming over them.

    What was it Tommy always says? 'pog through the pain'?

    Pog through the pain they will.

    Summary

    Phil's name is scrawled on 27 individual pieces of paper. Wilbur's is only written on one. Yet somehow, the younger boy is the one who is selected to join the Hunger Games, forced to die on television for the entertainment of the ravenous elite. Phil won't allow it. He volunteers, and then a man he has only spoken to once is called to the platform, and Technoblade's eyes are an eerie shade of red, and then he's being taken away, and-

    And then suddenly, Phil is dragged into a bloody and gruesome struggle for power against a country that only wants to watch him die. But he'll fight, no matter how little the odds favor him.

    Summary

    Inhale.

    He'd been on an island. Alone. Isolated. Cut off from any form of communication. And in pain. So much pain. He screamed, cried, and begged...no one came. And that was alright cause he had Dream and Dream was nice. Dream was great...really...you know until Techno decided to run away.

    So why is everyone all of a sudden wanting to help him? What the heck does trauma mean? Dissociating? Repressing memories? PTSD? He's confused.

    Why does everyone keep getting upset when he says Dream's nice? Why do they keep saying he needs help?

    Exhale.
