Summary
Grian snorted despite himself. “How’s the never-ending spiral of engineering hell treating you, then?”
“Oh, you know,” Joel shrugged with a dramatic sigh. “Sleep-deprived. Caffeine-dependent. Soul slowly eroding beneath mountains of mathematical theorems that I swear are made up. But at least when I graduate, I’ll have a job.”
Grian flinched theatrically. “Oof. Low blow.”
Joel raised an eyebrow. “Am I wrong?”
“No,” Grian admitted, his lips twitching into something crooked. “But at least I’ll have freedom.”
“Oh yes,” Joel drawled. “The famous freedom of starving artists— living off expired protein bars and making tragic eye contact with neon billboards about ‘success stories’. So liberating.”
<-OR->
Grian is a dropout college student desperate to continue his crumbling dreams as an artist - a minority in the fast paced future based society he despises. After being knocked on his ass by an out of control hoverboarder, Grian realises that a morning cup of coffee is the least of his worries now.

Tags
Summary
The insurmountable sound of the roof caving in, the support beams failing, and the marble decorations shattering around him seemed to stop all at once. There was nothing but silence. Cold, abrupt, threatening silence.
As quickly as it had begun, the disaster simply ceased.
“Woah,” an unknown voice chimed, echoing through the rubble. A man smiled down at him, his expression bordering somewhere between surprised and amused. “You’ve caused quite a bit of chaos here, haven’t you?”
- or -
After accidentally wreaking havoc inside a temple in the woods, Grian finds himself indebted to a god he doesn't know, as well as a strange man who calls himself the temple's priest.

Summary
Hermit’s Hollow was a quiet town where you learned to ignore whisperings of nonsense and the dull, persistent feeling of being watched before you learned to ride a bike. To call it pedestrian would be a great disservice to all the terrible oddities occupying it— folks and legends alike.
Not that Grian believed any of them, of course.
Or; There's something wrong in Hermit's Hollow. There's something wrong with Grian. Neither of these are a surprise to him.

Summary
The ground beneath Tommy’s feet gives way as he watches the chains slam onto their wrists.
Something violently breaks inside him. His breath catches in his lungs and he struggles to keep upright.
“What crimes?” Phil snaps as a muzzle is clipped over Wilbur’s mouth and Techno is forced into a reinforced straight-jacket. “Get the fuck off of me!”
A trident is placed under Phil’s chin and Tommy can feel his heart shatter.
Or, Tommy is free of the Red Room, only for his past to come knocking, bringing with it more trouble than he could have ever predicted.

Summary
Tommy has killed 36 people.
The weapon in Tommy’s hands does not shake. It is steady, almost impossibly so, and Tommy will not miss his target. This is a fact that he knows. He knows the sun will rise, he knows the tide will leave, he knows he will hit his shot; Tommy is incapable of missing. He is perfect. It's his job to be perfect, and without this job, Tommy is nothing, so his hands are steady. He remembers the names of all 36 people. Not because he feels remorse or guilt, in all honesty, Tommy doesn't think he can feel. He remembers because no one else will. No one but him.
James Richard. This is a name Tommy will never forget, because, at the very least, he can remember him. At the very least he can remember his name.
He pulls the trigger.
37. Tommy has killed 37 people.
Or
Tommy is a trained mercenary who hasn't heard anything other than Dream's voice for the past seventeen years of his life.
Wilbur is worried.

(One of the robbers rushed towards the two boys only to be stopped by a dart to the abdomen. He promptly collapsed and started writhing on the ground, shouting profanities.

“Ink.” Tommy smiled.
“Dude- that could kill someone-“
“Oh. Oops.”)
In which Tommy is a vigilante who works as a barista with his best friends, who aren’t even aware of his secret hobby. Unbeknownst to Tommy, his friends have secrets as well.

We Don't Make The Rules, We Simply Break Them by Dragonire

Summary
“Are you—fucking mad?” Sentinel heaves.
“You asked for me,” Tommy pants, trying not to show pain but knows he’s not succeeding as he heaves air like a man starved. “You asked the heroes to hand me over in exchange for the hostages. You’ve seen me fight. Zyghost knows too.”
He knows that Tommy can’t jump anymore, but that’s all of it. Maybe they’re thinking his electricity and power shocks is something tied to his teleportation, but they can’t know the true extent of Tommy’s “power” and he’s pretty sure that that is what’s keeping him alive.“You want to poke me,” he hisses, although it doesn’t sound nearly as threatening as he wants, when he’s so goddamned tired and hurt and fucking aching.
“You want to prod me. You want to figure out my powers. Either you think I’m your new bargaining chip or your new protégé you want to torture into submission,” he spits, hitting the nail on its fucking head when Sentinel freezes in his sights. “Well I’m fucking neither. I’m Theseus, illegal fucking vigilante and two of your hostages happened to be my family.“And this is personal, bitch.”
Or: Being a vigilante isn’t simple—or legal—but Tommy refuses to sit on the sidelines.

Unfortunately for him, a few inconvenient encounters on the roof prove to him that dying might just be the hardest thing he's ever tried to accomplish.

The Piano's Missing Keys by AnonymousLife

Summary
Six years Tommy has spent his life stuck in this hellish routine of foster care. Thrown from house to house, the boy has long given up on the hope of finding a new home. A new family. Alas, his social worker has not yet given up on this foolish dream and is now sending him to a new family. The Watsons. How is Tommy supposed to feel when this family lives hours out of town, away from people, surrounded by forest? The father seems nice, but that's bound to change. The first brother is bloody terrifying. The second hates his guts. (The feeling is mutual buddy). And now he's stuck with them for Prime knows how long. Oh joy.
But maybe this family is a bit more than what's at the surface. Maybe, he'll be alright. Maybe.Rated Teen for cussing and mature themes (see tags)

Summary
“I think we know what’s wrong with you— and I think I know how to cure it,” Phil is trying his hardest to look encouraging, and reaches a tentative hand towards Tommy's shoulder. He halts, his fingers stilling in the air for a moment. Eventually, he sighs and withdraws his hand as if he were burned.
Tommy's scowl deepens. He doesn't trust Phil, not one bit.
“So? What do we do?” Tommy says, his tone aloof and stubborn. Phil gives him a pitying look, and Tommy doesn’t know what to make of it.
“We’re going home, Tommy.”
Flower Head is a fatal disease caused by extreme bouts of nostalgia and a longing for a past that is no longer possible. Flowers will begin to sprout from the scalp, slowly making their way to the eyes, face, and neck, blinding and eventually suffocating you.
Of course, Tommy falls victim to the illness.
The only cure? To bring him back to where his fondest memories lie.
It's time for their family to go home.

Tommy wished someone would listen to him. Dream hadn't meant to bury him alive. This whole thing, Dream in prison and Tommy in the foster system—it was all a big misunderstanding.
"I know," Sam said again. He held the door for Tommy. "I know the family that's going to foster you. Will it help if I tell you a bit about them?"

OR

Summary
“They want me to become an emergency foster parent.”
“What’s that?”
“It’s… Basically, I take in the kids who need immediate placement. It means that we can get a call at any time to take someone in, and usually won’t have much time to prepare, or information to prepare with. You won’t have a lot of warning, if any. You could come home from school one day and a kid will be here because I won’t have time to tell you."
“That’s okay.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, yeah. Tell them you want to be an… Emergency… Guy.”
Phil grinned. “I’m glad you’re okay with this, Wilbur.”They get their first call barely a month later. At two in the morning, Phil shakes Wilbur awake to tell him the news.
Or, a foster au centering on Wilbur and Tommy (and Techno's there too, of course), except it's not the same exact plot as all the other ones

Summary
“So don’t fucking underestimate me, Blade. Adults tend to forget that kids don’t exactly have strong morals to get what they want.” Techno stared down into the baby blue eyes, a familiar spark of thrill reaching his heart, the same spark he felt when he first met Phil.
“I doubt you have an extra mending book laying around.” Are you truly worthy of my curiosity?
“I actually do, prick.” Fuck. You.
—
Tommy may seem harmless at first glance, but Phil and Techno know otherwise. To be a gemsmith, a person who connects soulmates, is not a profession for those who are docile.
But Tommy is intriguing at first glance. Always talking, always moving, always challenging them. So they stick around. Not too long though, they have two other soulmates to find, but long enough to develop their relationship beyond customer and shopkeeper.
If only they realized why they were developing this relationship in the first place before the Hunters came knocking on Tommy’s shop.

Oh That's Wretched by HelpImNotThisCreative
Fandoms: Dream SMP, Minecraft (Video Game), Video Blogging RPF

Tags
Summary
So, he nods along to Dream to keep him happy before Tommy tears this whole fucking thing down. If Tommy were honest with himself, he’d say there's a small part of him that doesn’t know how to feel about this. Dream may be an ass, possibly the worst person out there, but he did help Tommy. When he was young, scared and alone Dream stepped in and kept him alive. The still young, scared and alone part of him will mourn that loss.
But the bigger, angrier part of him can't wait to see the look on Dreams face when he sees who betrayed him. The fucker deserves it after everything he’s done.
“Why’d you run?”
But that one, that one he won't answer. Not fully at least.
They know Dream found him, they know he kept him in that warehouse for years, they know Dream taught Tommy everything and that’s how he became Maverick. They know nothing about why Dream did any of that.
He didn’t tell them anything about why Tommy even followed Dream, because he was so fucking stupid for being so naïve and—fuck, if it isn't a weakness of his.
“I realized Dream wasn’t a good person” he settles on “I ran. But he found me”

Summary
“Bullshit. That’s the dumbest thing you could do.”
“And why would that be?”
Too many responses to count flashed through Tommy’s mind. This man was going to kill him, there was no denying that. No denying that Tommy had been stupid. That mantra had gotten him through the night, sure, but it wasn’t true, and now he was going to die.
In the forest, he didn't know what was coming to kill him. Now, though, he knew it would be this man, with his soft cloak and softer eyes, Tommy wasn’t so afraid.
Might as well encourage him to make it quick.
“Because I know where you live, you rebel fuck,” he spat. “I know exactly where we are.”
