Summary
This Arthur isn’t even a prince yet– not technically. His eyes are a mix of gray and blue, and his blond hair is dirtier than Merlin remembers. But it’s him. As soon as the first official press photos of the baby are released, Merlin knows, deep in his old, ancient bones, that it’s him.

Summary
Arthur doesn't care much about the popular radio program Dragon's Lonely Hearts until his ex-girlfriend calls in to slag him off and get advice. When he calls in and has an on-air argument with the host, it starts off more than he expected, including meddling friends, overinvolved fans, and maybe love.

Summary
“Don’t leave,” he chokes out. “Don’t leave me, please…”
“Humans need rest,” Phil repeats. Then, glancing helplessly to Techno and Wilbur, stood next to him, “Right?”
Tommy’s chest crumples in, eyes stinging.
Both of them nod, like they know more about him than he does.
Tommy finds, in this moment, that he loves them so much he can only hate them for it.
~ or, five times Tommy couldn't ask for a hug and the one time he could (ft. alien!SBI who don't know that humans need attention.)

Summary
Tommy wailed in agony, the harsh impact and unforgiving cold against his back was a horrible pain he had not yet experienced. Even falling had not hurt this bad.
He cried and chattered for his sire to come for him, but there was only emptiness when he reached out.
“ Oh .”
The word was like a gentle breeze flowing through forest leaves— a sort of symphony in and of itself, reverent and gentle.
The fingers around his neck relaxed until Tommy could hardly feel them anymore. He still keened and whined his displeasure, his sensitive nerves pulsing shockwaves of pain throughout his entire body.
“Oh, hello,” The prey turned predator greeted gently. “I am sorry, little one. I did not mean to hurt you.”
Tommy cracked open a stinging eye to see blazing red ones and glittering fangs before him. It was a predator like him, but older. Much older.
~
Or: Tommy is VERY hungry and attacks the first thing he sees. This happens to be a very old vampire.
Or Or: Philza finds the vampire equivalent of a newborn stumbling around a dark alley.

Summary
“You’re not my son,” his savior said.
“Nope.” Techno nodded towards the guy lying unconscious at his feet. “That’s what I’ve been trying to tell these clowns too.”
“Well, that’s gonna be a problem…” They lowered the baseball bat, streaked with blood. “You do look exactly like Wil though, if I didn’t know any better I’d say you two were twins.”
Or: sleep-deprived college student Techno Blade doesn’t know if there’s a good way to find out he bears an uncanny resemblance to the heir of a notorious crime syndicate, but being mistaken for said heir and kidnapped by a rival gang is certainly not it.

Summary
“Have you ever considered working as an au pair?” Wilbur asked.
Techno frowned, once again thrown off by the vampire’s archaic choice of words. “You mean, going to live with a coven?”
“As our permanent, exclusive food source, yes.”
---
Techno is a human who needs a place to live. Phil, Wilbur and Tommy are vampires who need blood to survive. Two problems are fixed with a single solution.
Though perhaps Techno should have thought twice about the consequences of entangling his life with three powerful immortals.

Summary
“I’m going to enjoy this,” Techno said, finally smiling, “Don’t bother holding back your screams. We’re pretty isolated right now. You won’t disturb anyone.”
The councilman was squirming, shaking, desperately trying to worm his way out like the vermin he was. Techno leaned forward slowly, practically giddy as he dipped his knife against the man’s gut, blood beading on his skin like—
Suddenly, Techno's phone rang.
Or: The vigilante "Innit" stops a villain.

Summary
Wilbur’s standing absolutely still, like a stone statue, eyes wide, hands shaking, water dripping off from his hair. Kids are chattering and laughing, phones being raised high as everyone crowds around. One person is laughing louder than all the rest, and Wilbur looks up with something mortified.
The expression on Wil’s face is recorded more than once. The disbelief and shock is preserved perfectly on camera, and there’s no doubt it will be the most popular image in the school for weeks.
At least, that’s what everyone is assuming, until Technoblade comes running into frame, slamming a fist right into Dream’s face.
(Or, a twinduo highschool AU, in which Techno is just Wilbur's twin who likes to stay in the background. Until one day he throws hands for Wilbur, because no way is he going to let his twin get bullied without acting out some Violence.)

Summary
For the first time in years, Wilbur wakes up alone. The room is dark with the night, and silent without Techno’s soft snoring. When Wil looks to his side to search for his brother, he finds a little slip of paper instead.
On the paper, he finds a confession.
He finds that his brother has been bit.
(Or, zombie apocalypse AU in which Techno and Wilbur have grown dependent on each other through survival. Techno ends up getting bit, and as a result, he leaves Wilbur in a safe town so he won't put him at risk.
Wilbur doesn't agree with being left behind. They will stay together, through everything. Even something like this.)

Summary
“So, theoretically, if I were to trade my soul with you, is it possible to get money in return?”
A drag of silence passes. The demon’s smile fades into a blank expression that could almost be called confusion.
“...Yes…” The demon trails off. “You could, but couldn’t you go bigger than that?” It phrases the question as an offer, a chance to make the deal at least a bit complicated. Demons don’t like simplicity, it seems.
Shame, because that’s all sleep-deprived Wilbur cares for.
“What could be bigger than Money?” Wilbur asks, raising his eyebrows and clapping his hands together. He then winces with a curse, having forgotten about the fact his palm is still sliced open.

Summary
Techno is immortal. Unfortunately for him, the mortals didn’t quite pick up the ‘Never able to die’ part when they locked him in a mausoleum.
Years pass and Techno is alone. Until a family of three finally finds and releases him, taking him home.
They take care of him. They are kind. But no matter how much Techno yearns for this, he knows it won’t last forever. The only thing that does is him, as much as he hates it.
Though, this strange little family might just prove him wrong.
(Or Techno is an immortal with trauma. His new family might be more alike than he thinks.)

Summary
Tommyinnit was going to be a rock star.
Well, Tommyinnit was going to be a rock star once he mastered basic chord progression. He could do it. He could. He just needed more practice.
“Wilbur,” he groaned, flopping onto his bed. “My fingers really fucking hurt.”
“Poor Tommy,” Wilbur replied over the call they’d been in for hours, voice too consoling to be genuine. “Poor, injured, Toms. You’re never going to recover from this one.”
Tommy learns how to play the guitar and creates an anonymous account to post his music on, but when you have hundreds of thousands of viewers, nothing stays secret for long...

Summary
When Tommy was hungry, he would crouch in the underbrush and wait for a rabbit to come by, shooting it with an arrow before spitting it over a small campfire.
When he was tired, he would rest against a tree or maybe climb into one for the night.
When he was lonely or scared or sad, he had no solution. Walking through the forest alone was better than being tortured by Dream, better than a pool of lava or a tall tower of dirt blocks, he reasoned. And he was only a temporary forest-man. Still, the quiet grated on his ears.
An AU in which Tommy runs away from not only Dream but the entire SMP, finding a new life and peace (and maybe an orphan who needs a home). When he's forced out of hiding seven years later, he's a changed man- Language:

Summary
"Well," Tommy started. He stumbled around for his words, but finally, he seemed to find the courage he was looking for, "it's Father's Day."
Sam didn't know that. He hadn't looked forwards to a Father's Day since he was about Tommy's age. After that, he always just threw a card together last moment and called it done. So he didn't quite understand why Father's Day mattered now. As far as Sam knew, Tommy never had a dad, and Sam's father had been dead for years at this point.
"Okay," Sam tried to keep up, "and did someone adopt you while I was at work?"

Summary
Tommy isn't stupid, despite how it looks sometimes. He can tell when he isn't wanted, and a sword to the back is a fairly clear tell of that.
Skip ahead a few years, he's the reigning champion and basically co-runner of a fighting arena nestled snuggly inside of an anarchy server. Going by the title "Phoenix the Head Hunter", he's got some fire-red wings and an entire 'shelf' of heads in his collection from his matches in the Arena.
Coming up on the two year anniversary of him claiming his title, a new fighter appears; no name registered to them and their features covered. This fighter quickly gains everyone's attention, easilly beating one of the Arena veterans his first night fighting. Tommy in specific noticing how similar their style is to someone he used to know.
The Phoenix is always up for new heads on his shelf, but this one might come with more than it first appears.

Summary
Arthur looked at Merlin with an expression of pure relief written all over his face and said breathlessly, "Merlin, oh, Merlin, I dreamed you were dead," and before Merlin could figure out what was going on, Arthur leaned in and kissed him. And despite the fact that Merlin had lived for over a thousand years, the touch of Arthur's lips to his felt like the breath of life.
