    Summary

    Theseus was born from the stars.

    He was made of little bits of seashell and sand, crushed together and molded with spring water and mud. His lungs were full of wind from mountains that rose so high they disappeared into the clouds. His eyes were full of the rising dawn, pale blue painted across the sky like watercolor. His flesh was made of moss and grass and tiny bits of flowers. His hair was made of clouds and fields of rye that rippled like scarves when the wind danced through them. His heart was full of magma, fiery and bright and with a light built to never burn out. And yet he looked so human. with baby blue eyes and sunshine blonde hair, pale skin with a rose colored tint, a smile like freshly fallen snow, a laugh like birdsong. And though years and eons had passed, he hardly changed, still untainted and young, barely a teen.

     

    Theseus was born from the stars, and placed on earth long ago to keep it company, to look after it.

    Or:

    Tommy is a demigod with power over nature. But one day, he is locked away in a statue by vengeful villagers, and left alone for thousands of years.

    Until someday a family moves in onto a farm bordering his prison.

    Summary

    His symbol: dark ebony wings etch into the chest of the lost spirit. Directly over the heart.

    Phil opens his hand and calls, the name coming to him naturally between one breath and another.

    “Tommy.”

    Tommy responds, a bolt of light summoned to his hand; coalescing into a round object. The light fades and Phil’s holding a compass. Silver backed and weighed - but not heavy. The needle points perfectly towards true north.

    Tommy dies and reemerges into a world of gods and spirits. And slowly, the world falls apart.

    Summary

    "See here, see here! The Great Presto the Magician, here for one night, and one night only!" A young, blond boy shouted at the top of his lungs through the street, as he did every day. A small crowd had already gathered around him on that street corner, consisting of people passing by with no evening plans who'd been lured in by the young man's bravado.

    Tommy was a born entertainer, always had been. Even as a little boy, he used to sing or perform an improvised play on this very corner (as well as every other one nearby) to anyone who would listen. He was trained in the art of making people listen— drawing them in, capturing their attention and holding onto it until he decided they could move on.

    Tommy was a born entertainer; nearly as much as Wilbur was.

     

    or, catshifter!Tommy and Wilbur are street performers (and occasionally conmen on the side). A circus arrives into town, and they accidentally find a family.

    Summary

    “Tommy?” The man says, his hand still wrapped around Tommy’s wrist, and Tommy falters, whipping his head around. “Are you- Is it really-?”

    Tommy blinks. Stares. Squints a little.

    At the back of his mind, it sinks in that this is a familiar face, a friend.

    Who Tommy met two hundred years ago.

    Summary

    "Wilbur didn't look like a "difficult" child.

    Honestly, he looked like a child struggling to reach his next birthday on his own. In an oversized, faded sweater, with bruises on his forearms, and a still unhealed, split lip, he definitely didn't resemble the little terrorist Phil had carefully guarded all sharp objects from. More like a victim of a natural disaster. As if he had spent hours on the roof escaping a flood, only to be carried away by a tornado.

    But burying the knives was still a good idea. The kid seemed to trip over while making a sandwich."

     

    Or: Phil feel ready to become a foster family.
    Spoiler: He's not ready.

    Less of plot and more of feelings. Also, fuck canon!Dadza! I want Phil to be a good dad!

    Summary

    Tommy shakes his head, looking at anywhere else in the room other than Phil. His head flicks around as though he’s already planning an escape as he speaks.

    “I can’t tell you who it is but I need you to tutor me, so I can tutor them.” Tommy meets Phil’s eyes for a second before they nervously dart away and stay firmly connected to the whiteboard behind Phil.

    Tommy swallows hard. “Please, Mr Watson?”

    It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that there is no friend.

    Summary

    “The Angel of Death, the ferryman of the Styx, the terror of the western seas. One of the most feared captains ever to sail, and yet, I have to wonder… how did a man like you end up all on his own? We searched the area where you were found—not another soul in sight. So,” He fixes him with a long look, allowing the silence to hover like a dark cloud, the words rolling off of his tongue with all the venom and smugness he can muster, “—tell me, Philza. Where is your crew?”

    —

    OR: Technoblade is a naval captain, and Phil his unwilling prisoner. Somehow, they manage to come out of it as friends in the end.

    Summary

    After the capture of the notorious supervillain, Nightmare, who had been reining terror down on the city for the past year, the Hero Coalition runs into some problems. Upon being unmasked, it's revealed Nightmare is not legally an adult and is the child of one of their top heroes.

    The laws are complicated around children who put on masks. While the cops, lawyers, and heroes figure out how to handle this mess without leaking anything to the press, the kid needs to go somewhere. He can't go home with his adoptive father who is facing child negligence charges (not to mention the man's superhero alter ego had beaten the shit out of him live on camera last week). He can't go to a normal family with his dangerous powers. He can't even be thrown in jail without risking the scandal getting out.

    So, they turn to Crowfather to save the day!

    “Did you attend school?” asked Phil.

    “Yeah.”

    “What's your favorite subject?”

    “The fuck are you doing old man?” he asked, suspicious but calm. At least... calm until his social worker spoke.

    “Thomas,” he scolded, his hand coming down to squeeze the boy’s ankle.

    Oh, Phil thought. The boy hadn't been kidding about the biting like a dog thing.

    Summary

    “Be my apprentice,” Icarus blurted.

    Tommy blinked. Gradually, the corners of his mouth dropped into the deepest frown he’d ever made. “What the fuck? Why?”

    “Why?” Icarus froze and Tommy raised a judgemental eyebrow. “It’s because of your powers.”

    “My powers,” he echoed. “I never told you whether or not I had powers.”

    “I can… sense them,” Icarus bullshitted. Tommy pinched the bridge of his nose.

    “Right. What are they, then,” he retorted.

    “Uh… super… powers,” the villain answered, sounding more unsure of himself by the second.

    Tommy wanted to bash his head against a wall. “Really? That’s the best you could do?”

    ------

    Tommy isn’t sure why handing someone their keys is such a big deal, but now he’s left with a huge problem: Every supervillain in the city wants him to be their apprentice!

    - or -

    Tommy’s lame superpower turns out to be a game-changer.

    Summary

    “W-What do you- I mean can I- are you here to rob us?” The person managed to stammer out.

    Siren snorted. “No. I’m just here to order some food.”

    “Wh-What about him?” The cashier asked, glancing at Tommy. “Did you- did you kidnap him?”

    “I mean… yeah, let’s go with that in case this ends up on the news,” Siren shrugged, looking back at Tommy. “I kidnapped you, right?”

    “Yeah, sure,” Tommy agreed, knowing that if they said he was kidnapped, it would keep people from getting suspicious of why he was seen in public with Siren. “Anyway, can I get the chicken nuggets happy meal, with a coke?”

    or, how Tommy—who is not a hero, or a villain, or even a vigilante—saves the life of one of L'Manberg's most feared supervillains, and accidentally ends up becoming the resident doctor for every supervillain in town (and maybe gets a family along the way too).
