Summary
Where had it gone? Why hadn't it attacked him? Was it going to get its friends or something? Did zombies even have friends?
Shuffling footsteps ended Techno's brief moment of reflection. He stiffened, alert and painfully aware that he was still utterly helpless.
A familiar half rotting face loomed out of the shadows. It was the same zombie again, but it seemed to have something under its arm. The creature fumbled for a moment before dumping whatever it had on the ground before him. Despite himself, Techno leaned forward to see.
A first aid kit?
"Heh?"
The zombie blinked slowly, its mouth working for a moment. "Eh?" it managed.
In which Technoblade discovers that some zombies are more human than others.
Or
Families grieve, and the dying waste away, but the distance between them is not as vast as it might appear.

Summary
He gasped for breath. Gentle hands gripped his shoulders and kept him from collapsing into the unnatural blue substance oozing onto the ground.
“Better now?” said Dream’s voice, and Tommy nodded shakily, even though the player he’d glimpsed a moment ago was definitely not Dream.
Not-Dream helped him to his feet and guided him gently away from the puddle of sick. Tommy managed a few steps before he had to sink to his knees and catch his breath.
Or
In the aftermath of exile, Tommy starts to understand the bigger picture. Somehow, it’s far worse than he had ever imagined. And Tommy can imagine quite a lot (or maybe it wasn’t his imagination after all).

Summary
Everything was gone. Stars. Planets. People. Trees. The quiet rapture took them. Now there were just a few battered space stations left, slowly running out of resources and no way to get more. Not a single habitable rock in the whole universe. Bdubs wondered why anyone bothered to keep trying to survive when it was never going to get them anywhere. And yet, he still got up in the morning and did his tasks. Talked to Etho. Sometimes, Etho even talked back.
Or
Etho has trauma, Bdubs has never seen a tree, and maybe there are answers, but that’s someone else’s job. Right?

Summary
A car appeared from over a hill. Minivan. One of those pale blue ones. It pulled up beside him. He got nervous for a minute, but it wasn’t the kidnappers. It was some concerned looking lady. Ah, he was probably a sight to see, bruised and barefoot and still soaking wet. She rolled down the window closest to him. “You all right, sweetie?” she asked in a caring mom voice. “Do you need help?”
Oh. That was nice. “Um, thank you, yes, I need to get home, please.” And then, by way of clarification, he added, “I, uh, died. I think?”
The smile melted off her face. “What, you’re one of those dead things? Ew, no! Get out of here, graven!” she snarled, waving her hands as if to banish him. She didn’t even bother to roll up the window, just hit the gas and sped away into the trees, and he was left there, wondering in bewilderment what a graven was.
Or: instead of his long-awaited camping trip, Technoblade finds himself driving halfway across the US to bring some poor kid home. The kid's a little odd; he doesn’t seem to grasp simple things about how the world works. Techno wants to ask if the kid was born yesterday or something, but he’s starting to wonder if that might actually be the case.

Summary
“Hey, Ranboo,” Tommy says. “Got a minute?”
“Hm?” Ranboo props himself up on an elbow.
It’s early morning, light barely peeking through the windows. It’s kind of impressive that Tommy’s awake. He’s hovering in the doorway, looking uncomfortable.
“What’s up?” Ranboo asks.
Tommy shoots a glance at Tubbo, still passed out on the couch. “Not here,” he clarifies, and Ranboo gets the hint.
“Breakfast on the roof?” he suggests, and Tommy relaxes a fraction.
“Yeah,” he mutters.
Or
Time passes. Life goes on. Spring comes again. Friendship is everything.
Sequel to January.

Summary
Ranboo opened his eyes. There was a man leaning over him, hands pressed to where the wound had been. There was still a lot of blood, and his robes were torn, but the stab wound was gone, not even a scar left behind.
The man’s hands were still glowing faintly. Ranboo looked up into red eyes framed by long pink hair, and he knew at once he was in the presence of a being far more powerful than himself.
Ranboo had never paid homage to anyone before, but he’d seen it done often enough towards himself. He knew the etiquette of showing fealty to higher beings. He forced himself up awkwardly, shoving his knees under himself before pressing his face to the ground.
“Wha—heh?” said the god, for what else could he possibly be? “Nah nah nah, none of that, kid.”
Or
One day, a man came with a sword and a vendetta, and the man with healing hands followed swiftly after, both of them together changing his world for good.

Summary
The hévortish turned to Tubbo and began speaking again. Ranboo caught a gesture that seemed directed at his bedroll for some reason? Tubbo waved a hand dismissively.
What was happening? The beginning of a theory was forming in the back of Ranboo’s mind, and he didn’t like it all that much. He clutched his book nervously and looked back and forth between the two aliens that seemed more and more like they were discussing his fate.
Tubbo noticed his distress and took his hand, smiling warmly. “Élay, Ranboo,” he said, and Ranboo had no idea what that meant, but he didn’t miss the friendly tone. “Élay do.”
Or
In which Tubbo wants to fly spaceships and not talk about hard things, Ranboo’s just grateful to have friends (even if they’re aliens and he can’t understand them), and Tommy is Going Through It.

Summary
Someone walked past the window of the house, a fleeting shadow causing their light source to flicker briefly. Both of them fell silent for a moment.
Nothing happened.
Dream turned back to his so-called friend. “Why am I helping you again?”
Techno offered him a wicked grin. “Because you tried to tell me a career in banking was boring.”
Or
Dream’s best friend is a maniac, and for some reason, the man's getting paid for it. The real question is why Dream is here because he definitely isn’t.

I Keep Getting Distracted & My Beta Keeps Encouraging Me (Pls Send Help) by UnintendedMango for xinconnexion
Fandoms: Dream SMP
02 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
Slowly, Phil turned around and squinted at the gaggle of children in his living room. Wilbur was already halfway up the bookshelf (again), wings fluttering wildly while Techno braced against him to give him more footholds. Meanwhile, Tommy was deep in conversation, huddling with Tubbo on his left and a second Tubbo on his right, both lookalikes tilting their heads just so, allowing their faces to be obscured by wild brown hair desperately in need of a haircut.
Now Phil wasn’t sure about a lot of things these days, but he was pretty sure that he did not have five children. He was definitely sure that he did not have two Tubbos. This conviction came less from his faith in his own memory—which had honestly seen better days, given his long-term child-induced sleep deprivation—than it did from his own conviction that the world simply could not handle two Tubbos at once, and the mere suggestion of such a thing would surely cause it to implode.
Or
I discovered parasite birds, and I couldn’t believe no one had adapted the concept into a wingfic yet!

Summary
Ranboo tunes into his surroundings on a stretch of road that’s completely unfamiliar. There’s a row of dilapidated suburban houses on either side of the street, half-drowned in snow from the blizzard a few days ago. It’s maybe midday, the only sign of life is the string of footprints trailing behind him, and there’s a zombie stumbling towards him.
Or
Ranboo is still getting used to having company. Now, it’s his turn to be lectured.
Sequel to December.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind by UnintendedMango

Summary
Eret looked troubled. "I went along with him because he said it was all in good fun. This seems . . ." He paused, considering. "Extreme."
"And people are disappearing," added Puffy, her gaze landing on Sapnap. Sam was starting to appreciate her more and more. For all his play at naïveté, Bad knew how to pick good allies. This was already looking to be more serious than Sam had thought; he was going to need all the help he could get.
"So this is a coup," Punz deadpanned. "You want us to turn on our admin?"
Or: Seven players join their friend on his new server. But as Dream SMP grows and changes, and the original eight dwindles to seven and six, it becomes increasingly clear that the admin called Dream is not the same player who used to play manhunt with his friends. And when things go wrong on a private server, you can't just leave whenever you please.
Perhaps it's a good thing the old Dream never lived to see everything go terribly wrong.
***No cursing or graphic content, but this is a dark story containing horror elements, so be aware.

Summary
“You look like an old grandma,” Tommy announces disdainfully.
Ranboo arches an eyebrow. “Do you not want a hat to keep your ears warm? There’s, like, a foot of snow on the ground, and I don’t have winter clothes for you.”
“Well, yeah,” Tommy plops down on the couch. “But a rocking chair? Really?” He props his feet up on the coffee table.
Or
Tommy is stressed, Ranboo is vibing, Tubbo is asleep. Weirdly, there aren’t a lot of zombies about. Wonder what’s up with that.
Sequel to November.

Strange Things Happen (For No Reason) by UnintendedMango for xinconnexion
Fandoms: Dream SMP
09 Sep 2023
Tags
Summary
He kept expecting to find bodies, which was stupid because the Endermen—or whatever used to live here—had clearly died out thousands of years ago, so any organic remains should be long gone. That didn’t stop Tubbo’s stupid brain from imagining shapes under the ice, turning harmless shadows into monstrous abominations in the edges of his vision.
“It’s for Tommy,” he told himself firmly, wrapping his scarf tighter to protect his nose and ears from the merciless wind.
Tommy, the hollow buildings echoed back to him. Tommy. Tommy.
Tubbo got the sinking feeling he would never see his best friend again.
Or
Desperate to find some way to reunite with his best friend, Tubbo makes a dangerous journey to the abandoned cities of the mythical Endermen in hopes of finding an ancient artifact. Needless to say, he gets more than he bargained for.
***Rating for darker themes; I don't do cursing or graphic content.
***This story is completed, despite what the chapter count says. Those are for extra world building elements I'm tacking on the end of the story.Series

Summary
Death doesn’t mean much at Showfall Media. And if you think you get what’s going on now, you’re still wrong.
In other news, the Social Experiment is a resounding success! When nothing is real, the possibilities are endless!
or, in the words of cc!Ranboo:
“Change someone’s perspective of reality, and they will act as you want.” Have we really thought through the implications of that statement?

Story Time With The Blade (Stranded on an Alien Planet) by UnintendedMango
Fandoms: Dream SMP
23 May 2023
Tags
Summary
Technoblade gets stranded on a deserted planet with no hope of rescue, which is perfectly fine with him. The terrible part is that he’s stuck here with some alien kid, and the social awkwardness is stifling.
So Techno decides to bridge that gap by telling stories he remembers from Earth. Maybe he shouldn’t have started with that particular Greek myth, but the kid doesn’t seem any more traumatized than he already was, so it’s probably fine.
Or
Strangers bond over stories, and in the telling, they start learning more about each other and themselves.

Summary
“—nboo? Where’d you go?” Someone was tugging at his wrist. “Aw, bossman, don’t cry.” Another blur of green. Tubbo.
“What’s wrong, big man?” came Tommy’s louder voice. Another hand on his shoulder.
Ranboo sniffled. “I c-couldn’t see you,” he whimpered.
An intake of breath. “Can you see us now?” Tommy asked.
“No,” Ranboo whined, feeling pitiful. “S’all blurry.”
In which Tommy must have some sort of super-vision, Puffy and Technoblade get the wrong idea, and Ranboo can read. Really!
Or
Ranboo’s a little too young to understand how badly he needs glasses. Thankfully, he’s surrounded by people who love him and want to help him, so it’ll get sorted out. Eventually.

Okay, But Hear Me Out by UnintendedMango
Fandoms: Minecraft (Video Game), Video Blogging RPF, Dream SMP
29 Jan 2022

Summary
A series of Dream SMP 'story proposals,' in which I attempt to 'sell' my readers on various story ideas, mostly crossovers, using my detailed notes of backstories and plot ideas, organized in a way that is hopefully interesting to read.
Essentially, these are stories that I don't have time/motivation to write, but which I really enjoyed world building for. This is not really a prompt book, as my notes are detailed and I have taken time to organize them into something meant for entertainment. Tags will probably shift according to most recent update.
Most recent update:
The War for L'Manberg, a Star Wars crossover featuring Wilbur's attempts to train his padawan Tommy while also having an identity crisis very similar to the one taking place on the planet L'Manberg, which Wilbur calls a second home and which is currently being fought over by three to six different sides, depending on who's counting. -

Summary
Phil struggles to admit his faults to his friends. It leads to some embarrassments, sure, but not any serious problems.
Then Techno gives Phil his will. And Phil can’t read it.
or
Phil has many skills, but there is one important one that he lacks, and he just can’t bring himself to ask for help.
