    Summary

    The boy standing in the mirror wasn’t Wilbur.

    He blinked a few times, and the boy in the mirror did too. He lifted a hand, with the stranger doing the same. When he flipped the reflection off, the bony and bruised hand flipped him off in return.

    “This isn’t me,” Wilbur whispered in the stranger’s voice, the reflection mouthing the words in time with him.

    This wasn’t him and yet the reflection in the mirror was telling him it was. The boy had curly blonde hair that was styled similarly to Wilbur’s, except the fringe wasn’t nearly as long. Wide set blue eyes stared at him, and after a moment of being frozen, he squeezed them shut, wondering if his reflection would be back to normal when he opened them.

    His eyes blinked open, and he saw he was still blonde and blue-eyed. Fuck.

    or, Wilbur is bored of the monotony of his life in a small town, and wishes for a new life. Meanwhile, Tommy is tired of the isolation that comes with living in the city, and wonders what it would be like to have a closer family.

    Neither one meant they wanted to start swapping bodies.

    or or, a Your Name au.

    Summary

    "You missed a spot," a voice spoke up above his music. It was only eight in the fucking morning and Tommy, if you hadn’t gathered it yet, was not a morning person. So whichever little bitch of a guard was trying to comment on his work was about to severely regret it.

    Tommy squared his shoulders, pulled out an earbud and whipped around. "Excuse you, you fucki—" He stopped. There was no guard there. The hall was empty. Instead, he found himself staring into a cell.

    Tommy didn't need to read the plaque next to the cell to know who those brown eyes belonged to. Fucking Siren.

     
    Or, Tommy, an orphan freshly turned eighteen, has landed himself a job as a janitor inside the highest security prison of the country: Pandora's Vault. Also known as the prison that holds the most powerful supervillains of the last decades, including Siren, the Blade and even Zephyrus. He doesn't care, though, because he's just here to clean and get paid. Right?

    Summary

    Tommy wasn't stupid.

    He knew what his family did whenever they made excuses of overtime shifts and plans with friends.

    From the videos online, their mechanisms were the same regardless of what costumes or masks they wore. He recognised their styles of speech and the insults they threw at heroes. Beyond the voice modifiers, Tommy could tell.

    His family were villains.

    But he didn't care. Because they were his family. Even if they didn't know he knew.

    So why did they continue to lie to him?

    Summary

    Renegade has been unusually quiet. There is no trace of his usual banter or dramatic monologues echoing through the warehouse. Only focused determination and shots aimed to kill.

    Because Tommy fucked up. He fucked up badly and only he and the villain in front of him knows it.

    _

    Or: Tommy is a young hero who had the misfortune of seeing the face of one of the most powerful supervillains in the city. To make it even worse, he thinks he recognizes him.

    Summary

    "–my? Tommy! Please, I’m sorry!"

    Wilbur?

    No, that’s silly. Why would Wilbur be looking for him after what he did? After what he said?

    "Tommy, please!"

    It sure sounds a lot like Wilbur. Tommy pries his eyes open, squinting through the snow and blinking at the lanky figure not far off in the distance. His movement seems to attract its attention, because it starts to move towards him, slowly and then picking up until it runs full-tilt at him.

    "Tommy!"

    Oh. It is Wilbur.

    Or,

    Tommy runs away from home in the middle of a snowstorm, is brought home by a very brother-shaped siren, and is surprised to learn that his family actually wants him.
