    Summary

    Tommy's the one to notice the tourist first. There's a park across the street; it's got a few food carts and a place where people like to get drinks, as well as a small armada of tables for open-air dining. It's popular in general, but especially as a tourist destination, and they've pulled off a few little cons there before.

    Techno looks where Tommy's focusing on, and oh, there's a perfect target.

    Or: great pretender if it were found family
    (aka, techno tries to scam the wrong person and gets adopted against his will)

    Summary

    (10:32 am) Wilbur: Hey man, I wanted to say happy birthday! You’re 18 now which is insane, feels like just yesterday you were this hyper ten year old running around my legs lol. You don’t have to respond to this if you don’t want to, but I wanted to reach out and let you know that even though it’s been over 8 years since we saw each other, if you ever need anything you can always reach out. I kind of hate that just because your mum and my dad didn’t really work out we lost contact with each other, but there’s not much we can do about it now. Either way though, I’m still here if you ever wanna reconnect. If there’s anything you ever need, like if you’re in a tight spot or you need a place to stay or something, don’t feel bad about hitting me up.

    (12:23 am) Tommy: do you mean that?

    or, when moving to a completely new town to live with Wilbur after not seeing him for 8 years, Tommy realizes there's no good way to call someone an ex-stepbrother.

    or or, a coming of age story about learning how to be a family for a second time.

    Summary

    Techno looks away first, somewhere just over his shoulder. The far wall has a map pinned across it… topographical, dotted with little red circles that Techno doesn’t recognise. He doesn’t ask.

    “Wilbur’s good,” Techno says eventually, voice distant. “I know he’s good.”

    “Then you know he’s wasted anywhere else.”

    “He’s not ready.”

    Dream’s voice stayed flat. “Neither were you.”

    Techno wants to argue that. Wants to say something, anything, that’ll cut through the politics and coldness and anger Dream worked into every word. But he can’t.

    Because… because maybe Dream has a point.

    He got his license at sixteen. Was flying with ranked officers at seventeens. Called a prodigy years before that. No one asked him if he was ready. They just gave him wings and pointed at the sky.

    He’s still not sure if he came back down.

    //

    Or, Techno’s been forced into teaching by a medical discharge and he has definitely fully completely come to terms with it.
    Enter Private W. Soot, a natural pilot with ZERO bodily preservation and an odd obsession with being perfect. In the end, he forces Techno to learn that broken wings still yearn for the sky.

    Summary

    At first it was just a tangle of cloth, sodden and clinging to itself, streaked through with dark red patches. Then he saw blond hair, matted with blood, skin waxy and cold, littered with bruises blooming across flesh like grotesque flowers.

    “Man overboard!” Tubbo’s voice split the silence.

    Instinct slammed into action; Techno ripped the heavy captain’s coat from his shoulders, thrusting it into Wilbur’s arms. He climbed onto the wooden railing and then, with a powerful push from his legs, Techno launched himself off the taffrail, body arcing through the air, arms outstretched.

    The cold struck the instant he hit the water, but he kicked hard, pushing himself to the boy. Techno was close now, though his body rocked dangerously, threatening to slip beneath. Techno saw how the cloth stuck to the boy’s chest, how shallowly it rose and fell. Alive, then. Barely.

    —or, Tommy’s betrayal to the Royal Navy forces him to walk the plank, only to be saved from death by Technoblade, the new captain of The Syndicate, the most feared pirates on the seven seas. But redemption will cost Tommy another betrayal: leading The Syndicate straight to Dream, captain of the Royal Navy’s mightiest ship, the H.M.S. Spirit—
