    Summary

    “Be my apprentice,” Icarus blurted.

    Tommy blinked. Gradually, the corners of his mouth dropped into the deepest frown he’d ever made. “What the fuck? Why?”

    “Why?” Icarus froze and Tommy raised a judgemental eyebrow. “It’s because of your powers.”

    “My powers,” he echoed. “I never told you whether or not I had powers.”

    “I can… sense them,” Icarus bullshitted. Tommy pinched the bridge of his nose.

    “Right. What are they, then,” he retorted.

    “Uh… super… powers,” the villain answered, sounding more unsure of himself by the second.

    Tommy wanted to bash his head against a wall. “Really? That’s the best you could do?”

    ------

    Tommy isn’t sure why handing someone their keys is such a big deal, but now he’s left with a huge problem: Every supervillain in the city wants him to be their apprentice!

    - or -

    Tommy’s lame superpower turns out to be a game-changer.

    Summary

    Tommy is your everyday civilian without superpowers. That is until he dies. Somehow he wakes up in his bed the very next morning. He dies some more and suddenly he has an inventory and can make a sword with just a stick and two stones.

    Or: Tommy’s life gets turned a little more into Minecraft every time he dies. Good thing he lives in the lower districts and is a vigilante.

    tw: death (nobody stays dead), injuries, blood, gunshots, knives, cult stuff

    Summary

    In the long list of rules that Dream gave him, there were four that stuck out as the most important. Four rules that he could never break.

    Stick close to the island when swimming. Always be back before seven. Never complain or hesitate to give Dream his pelt. And never, ever interact with humans.

    Tommy didn’t break any of those rules often, and if he did it was a one time thing, a mistake. But this wasn’t a mistake. This was a very deliberate, very stupid move on his part and Dream would kill him if he knew what Tommy was doing. Fifteen years Tommy had lived here, and never once had he intentionally broken one of Dream’s rules. Until now.

    He swims closer to the three humans.
    .
    Tommy's a selkie living isolated on an island with Dream as his caretaker. Wilbur, Techno, and Phil are the new lighthouse keepers next door. Surely there's no way for this to go wrong.

    Summary

    "How's your flat?" Wilbur asks. "Still no luck with the heating?"

    "You know I can't afford it." Tommy mutters, stirring a spoon around in his cup of coffee.

    "I could help you with it." Wilbur offers.

    Tommy politely shakes his head. "No, don't worry about it. I don't plan to stay here much longer."

    The way he says it, he thinks, might set off alarm bells in Wilbur's head. (Tommy prays that it does, prays to Prime that Wilbur notices his tone, notices his exhaustion and just asks him to go with him. He prays that Wilbur will care just enough to do something about it.)

    Wilbur doesn't make any comment about it.

    (Something inside Tommy cracks at that. Maybe this is it.)

    -

    Tommy's only 16, he shouldn't have all of these responsibilities. His landlord is shit, he doesn't get paid enough to afford groceries and he's so fucking tired. He just wants someone to see his struggles, he wants someone to care for once.
    So when the Crafts come along and are so nice to him, Tommy never really stood a chance.

    Summary

    'Sorry sir, we can't seem to find any- bzzt'

    Techno was about to go on a murdering spree himself in about 30 seconds if these stupid 'intelligence' agents didn't start intelligenting.

    'oh my god this is getting painful. Turn left into the next alleyway and then take the next two rights, he's heading towards the plaza and you'll want to cut him off on fourth street before you lose him in the crowd'

    Techno is a hero who has been through a lot of shit. He does /not/ jump at the child's(?) voice suddenly in his earcom.

    'Whomst the fuck-'

    'Mr Blade, I understand this may be a bit of a weird situation but if you do not start running right now, that bitch will be roaming the streets laughing in your faces for the next ten years'

    Oh screw it. Techno took one glance at the dark alleyway to his left, shrugged, and did what the random child in his ear told him to.

    -

    Alternatively: Tommy is such a main character, Tubbo has nothing at all to do with why Tommy keeps running into the SBI trio, and our favourite heroes are just perpetually Confused & Concerned.

    Tommy gets lost in a storm and makes friends with a not-kidnapper named Wilbur.

    Then Wilbur gets actually "kidnapped" by the Antarctic Empire.

    Tommy remembers he's king of a very tiny kingdom, so he does what any five-year-old would do.

    He tries to declare war. (toddler fluff and chaos ensue with basically no angst)

    Summary

    The Multiplayers are a faceless band that the internet has gone wild about. They started by playing covers and posting them on YouTube but now they’ve got a slew of original songs and one hell of a fanbase.

    Tubbo, Ranboo, and Tommy started the band as a joke after a stream one day because “oh, haha, we all play instruments!” but now people actually like their songs… not that anybody actually knows the songs are theirs.

    Summary

    Prince Theseus, a child of blonde and blue, a child of isolation and a crave for touch. He's the youngest in the Royal Family, and somehow the most forgotten. The most neglected. The most alone.

    Tucked away in his tower, the young prince watches the world move on without him, watches his family welcome two new princes into their arms, and yet reject him when he cries desperately from nightmares or shivers from a painful wound.

     

    "Wilby?" The child had murmured, all curious and hesitant at once. He was tucked in his older brother's lap, watching as his other sibling sparred with their father. "We'll always be together, right? Forever and ever?"

    Wilbur smiled. "Of course, Tommy. Forever and ever."

     

    The Hanahaki rising in young Theseus' throat says otherwise.

    Summary

    Something is brewing. A great storm that could shatter life as its known. More and more often, androids are breaking free of their original programming. More and more often, androids are turning against their owners in increasingly violent ways.

    And the only ones that can stop it are Wilbur Soot—the youngest lieutenant in police history and now a drunk, washed out detective—and an android of the 1NN1T model named Tommy, an advanced prototype created to solve crimes and catch rogue androids. But first they actually have to get along.

    Or,

    Two idiots, a robot and a depressed detective, walk into a bar. One comes out experiencing emotions he shouldn't be able to, and the other comes out with a reason to live.

    Spoilers for Detroit: Become Human, but knowledge of the game isn't necessary to enjoy.

    Summary

    The royal family of Antarctic empire isn’t exactly close.

    Emperor Philza is always occupied; Tommy hasn’t seen Techno in months, and even if Wilbur is here, their relationship can be described to be strained at best.

    The royal family doesn’t need to be close, however, it only needs to be balanced, like the pillars holding the country above their heads – as long as they are strong and steady, the Empire will be too. It’s the principle that held Tommy’s back straight and his shoulders broad through the years of hardships and trials of errors; through yet another formal meeting where his father’s gaze would look past him and where his brother’s words would be filled with poison that makes the deepest parts of his soul ache.

    At that time, Tommy couldn't know that his family would find a replacement for him in the face of a commoner boy named Ranboo.

    ~🦋~

    Tommy's family has replaced him. It's only fair that he gets to do the same.

    Summary

    “W-What do you- I mean can I- are you here to rob us?” The person managed to stammer out.

    Siren snorted. “No. I’m just here to order some food.”

    “Wh-What about him?” The cashier asked, glancing at Tommy. “Did you- did you kidnap him?”

    “I mean… yeah, let’s go with that in case this ends up on the news,” Siren shrugged, looking back at Tommy. “I kidnapped you, right?”

    “Yeah, sure,” Tommy agreed, knowing that if they said he was kidnapped, it would keep people from getting suspicious of why he was seen in public with Siren. “Anyway, can I get the chicken nuggets happy meal, with a coke?”

    or, how Tommy—who is not a hero, or a villain, or even a vigilante—saves the life of one of L'Manberg's most feared supervillains, and accidentally ends up becoming the resident doctor for every supervillain in town (and maybe gets a family along the way too).

    Summary

    Tommy was handed a small flyer in printed in black and white, with the words “POETRY NIGHT - OPEN MIC” splayed across the front in bubbled font. He fumbled with his binder as he took it, eyes wide as he said, “are you sure? I mean, I love poetry and all, but I don’t think-I’m not sure—what if I can’t write poetry?”

    Mr. Sam’s dark eyes softened, and he reached out to place a hand on Tommy’s shoulder, squeezing it gently. “Everyone has to start somewhere; every poet, from me to Rudy Francisco, started off without knowing a clue about what we were doing. Tommy, it’s not about if you can or cannot write poetry, it’s about if you want to.”

    or:
    The performance poetry AU in which Tommy joins a slam team and finds a home in the arts.
