the stars and their children by bonesandthebees (bonesandcacti)

Summary
Yes. Wilbur had to bite his tongue to keep the answer from spilling out of his mouth, because yes he wanted more. Of course he wanted more. He wanted to be more than the bastard prince. He wanted to be more than a mistake his mother made before she married Tommy’s father.
But that wasn’t the role he had been cast for in his life.
“It doesn’t matter,” Wilbur said instead. “When Tommy turns eighteen he’ll be crowned King, and I will be his advisor. He’ll be a good king, I’ll make sure of it.”
or, as the bastard prince of the planet of Eldingvegr, Wilbur has always known he was never meant for greatness. That was his younger brother's destiny. Wilbur's job was simply to try and make sure Tommy could fulfill that destiny.
That becomes decidedly more difficult when the brothers are betrayed, and are forced to flee their home planet. With the Essempi Empire being one of the largest imperial powers in the universe, the only place that can offer them refuge from Emperor Dream is Zephys IV—capital planet of the Antarctic Empire, ruled by the ruthless Emperor Philza.

Summary
...Banhammer glances up as someone pushes aside the curtain divider, and the doctor known as Medkit walks over, looking as exhausted as ever with those gaunt cheekbones and heavy eyebags. He never not looks horrible; it’s like it is his specialty to look as close to death’s door as possible, and he’s damn good at it too.
“You look nice.” Banhammer chuffs the moment he gets, watching as Medkit looks over him and sprouts a disdained expression at whatever horrendous sight he must be seeing. “But no, seriously, how do people take you serious as a doc when ‘ya look like you were due for ‘yer funeral yesteryear? I wouldn’t even trust ‘ya if I din’t have any other choice.”
It’s a shame, how much of a party-pooper this doctor is – Medkit levels him with a listless look, entirely unamused at the attempt at conversation, and asks in a tone so uninterested, it stings Banhammer’s ego a bit. “Are there any wounds on your legs?”
And because Banhammer’s feeling extra petty as a result of the hurt all over his body, he tugs off his uniform shirt while muttering petulantly, “Well, isn’t that a good question, Doc? Why don’t ‘ya go and check fer ‘yer’self? Since ‘yer oh so professional and can’t have a decent conversation.”

Summary
Tommy doesn't know what else to do. No matter what he does, his family seems to ignore him.
They're always busy, always choosing something else over him.
He decides that it's about time they give him some attention, even if that means forcing them to pay attention to him.
Or, more accurately, forcing the heroes Siren, The Angel (of death), and The Blood God to pay attention to him, through any means necessary.
---
Neglected Tommy becomes a villain, just to get the attention of his father and adopted brothers. Angst-heavy, with a lot of child neglect :)
VERY heavily influenced by "you were never my heroes (forget me not)" by aceofsun on ao3... they wrote a one-shot based off of a tumblr prompt, and I fell in love with the idea.Series

Summary
“Insanity,” he says, eyes flitting across the milky-white pages. “Nothing but insanity.” Mirage smiles and flips a page. The book opens to a charcoal drawing– a faceless void with a sharp grin, and streaks of black across the page in distressed lines without rhyme or reason. Inside the creature’s hands
death blooms.
“I think it’s beautiful,” Mirage lets out a breathy voice, studying the art and running his gloved hands over the marks. “There’s always insanity somewhere inside the tortured artist.” He looks at Tommy with a soft honeyed gaze. “At the intersection of art and humanity, there is madness.”
or;
Your average vigilante!Tommy fic, but the villains are actually villains.

Summary
Through a series of circumstances that he stubbornly refuses to acknowledge, Tommy Innit finds himself stowed away on a very peculiar spaceship, staffed by a crew that he would come to learn is not quite as human as he is.
With the mind of a young engineering prodigy, he is prepared to use every trick in the book to make it off the ship and find... whatever it is he's looking for.
* * *
Philza is the captain of a ship that he is proud to call his own. His crew, though small, is very dear to him. They're the closest thing he has to a family.
And he would do anything to protect them.
* * *
or, Tommy somehow finds family, thousands of light years away from Earth, in the aliens who hold him prisoner.

The Children's Revenge by Aria_Cinabun
Fandoms: Dream SMP, Origins SMP, Video Blogging RPF
27 Jan 2023
Tags
Summary
His name was Tommy Innes, and everything he had ever known—and everything he had ever done—was nothing in the face of his greatest enemy. Everything he had ever fought for in his life had nearly been destroyed by the one Avian that would haunt him for the rest of his life, however short that would be.
Chroma.
And he would tear down every path, forge every weapon, run through fire and smoke, cry over every grave and remember every person the Avian had ever taken from him, destroy every life that he'd ever hoped to have in order to save his friends.
In order to save his family, however small that dwindled.
His name was Tommy Innes, and he would have his revenge.
(Even if it would kill him. Even if it would kill them both.)

tommyinnit's clinic for supervillains by bonesandthebees (bonesandcacti)

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
On top of the pillar, Tommy chooses life and leaps for the water, ready to leave exile behind. At that same moment, the server backs up as he falls, suspending him between life and death and the ensuing glitch pushes him from one server to another.
The Hermits have built a little family on their server, bonded through past trauma and instincts. So when a traumatized and scarred teenager crashes in, they’re happy to step up and be the family he needs.
Even if he doesn’t want them to be.

Summary
The first time Tommy died, he was eleven, trapped in flames with his parents. The next time he died was three minutes later, in those same flames. It didn't take him long to figure out that his deaths were like resets- chances to fix whatever killed him. Soon, though, he would grow tired of it and the mind-numbing puzzles he had to solve.
Tommy kept this gift to himself, not wanting to be brought into a school for powered kids and adolescents, not with a gift that involved dying. He went on with his life, skipping town whenever he noticed he seemed to die more there, learning a few pick-pocketing tricks and street rules along the way.
It seems that no matter where he goes, though, Tommy's gift comes back to burden him. This time, it's in the form of a famous gifted facility known to hold some of the world's most dangerous gifts, and it's in his best interest to make sure they never find out his.

Summary
“Sam.” Tommy leaned against the counter of the coffee shop, staring Sam straight in the eyes. “I’ve been thinking.”
“Alright,” Sam replied. He smiled, looking so much more easy going than he used to. “What about?”
Tommy bit the inside of his cheek. “If you were solely in charge of imprisoning the most dangerous man in the country, what would you do?”
Sam’s smile slid off of his face, and his brows scrunched up in concentration. “That’s a hard one,” he admitted. “I’d probably do everything within my power to make sure he didn’t escape. If he’s the most dangerous.”
“Yeah,” Tommy said hollowly. “I guess you would.”
Or, after Dream kills Tommy after he escapes prison, Tommy finds himself in a modern universe, fostered by sbi.

The Children's Rebellion by Aria_Cinabun
Fandoms: Origins SMP, Dream SMP, Video Blogging RPF
14 Jan 2022
Tags
Summary
His name was Tommy Innes, and he was born to touch the stars.
Of course, touching the stars was going to have to wait, because he'd lost that dream the moment his parents had died when he was ten years old—the moment he had watched that starship explosion and felt a bit of his heart die with them. He'd lost that dream when he was transported to prison and then to a place called Pogtopia.
He'd lost that dream when he watched hundreds of children starve on the streets of Pogtopia. When he and two friends become the lone survivors of the Red Planet's Genocide. When they were rescued, and he was captured again.
But maybe—maybe one day, he would regain that dream. Maybe he would hunt down the mass murderer that had executed his friends and gain his revenge—but that day was not now, and now he sat in a prison and stared at the faraway stars.
Perhaps there would be people that he could call family again. People he would see again—people whom he had lost years ago. One day.
Because he was an Avian, born to be forever alone amongst broken stars.
And Avians did not fall unless they wanted to.

Summary
He doesn’t know who the fuck he is. Losing your memory can do that.
He wakes up in the middle of a battle with a walking, talking mountain and quickly realizes any and all memories of his life are gone.
And that he’s supposed to be the world's number one hero, Aimatheos.
Course, that’s fine, he can just live his life as a regular civilian until he can regain his memories.
Of course, life loves to fuck him up because after he saves some random guy from being robbed, suddenly the city of L’Manburg’s most dangerous supervillains are all up in his business. They don’t know he’s their worst enemy, and he plans to keep it that way.
—
Blue eyes. Blond hair. Easy smile.
“Hello?” they greeted, clearly swimming with confusion, much like how Aimatheos was swimming in absolute dread.
This was not a chad. This was no chad at all. This person radiated Dad™ energy. Oh no, not a father figure.
Where there was a dad, there were children. He didn’t think he liked those all that much.

Summary
Wilbur almost died a week ago. He didn't, but he almost did.
He's back home living with a father he hasn't spoken to in three years. With shaky fingers, he picks up his old habits and tries to mimic the routine of the man he once was. He's trying. It's not much - he's still a shitty person trying to make up for all the wrong he did, but he is trying. For Phil. For Techno. For himself.
He was getting it together. He almost had it back together.
And then a unruly blond teenager stumbled into his store two minutes before close, and Wilbur's world fell apart.

Summary
... not for long, just a time (just like another season)
-
Dream has always been the best of the best at whatever he does since a young age. Academics, sports--you name it, Dream was already at the top.
Until he wasn't.
Upon entering a prestigious tournament for the server, Dream makes it to the finals only to be handily beaten by someone he'd never seen nor heard of in his life.
And, well... Dream refuses to not be the best of the best.
As he continuously badgers the slightly older teen into another fight once more, maybe, just maybe, he can be shown that life doesn't always have to be about winning or losing and, if he continues thinking the way he does, he might lose something much more important to him after all.
Besides, it's not about winning or losing, it's about the friends you've made along the way!
...
Did someone just vomit and/or roll their eyes at that?
Ahem. It's still the truth, and Dream slowly begins to learn that there is a meaning to friendship... and maybe a little something extra as well.

this CAN be read as a standalone, though reading the others in the series is recommended.

Summary
"Wilbur hated Tommy like a dandelion hated a daisy, constantly being plucked for something prettier, something wanted. It was something neither of them could control, and yet Wilbur hated him for it anyways.
Wilbur hated Tommy like a mouse hated a bird, cursing its feathered wings for the beauty and love and power it was given to it just for being. If he had wings, he’d be soaring far, far above the clouds, away from eyes, away from thoughts, away from everything."

Summary
Philza thinks he should preen his wings more often.
Yet he can only bring himself to preen them once a week at most. Oftentimes, he’s just too busy filling his role as co-Emperor of a burgeoning empire. Most of his duties begin the moment he wakes and continue until the second his head hits the pillow at night - assuming he makes it to bed in the first place.
But sometimes, on those dark, early mornings where he tumbles into consciousness with his veins ablaze with terror and an aborted shriek in his throat, even the very thought of running his hands through his feathers is enough to make his stomach turn.
~*~
Or, even though Philza is one of the most feared and respected men in all the land, he is shadowed by the horrors of his past. What is he to do when those shadows he has ignored confront him in the realest of ways? Surely he can handle it himself, right?
[Heed the tags! This is a rough one, boys.]

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
“Please, Tommy, just think about it! Wilbur’s - he’s not good for you, man, he’s - he’s not good for any of us -”
“Shut the fuck up,” Tommy says, breathless, “for Prime’s sake, holy shit. You’re leaving.”
And there’s no doubt about it. The longer Tommy stares at his best friend, the more he recognizes the fighting stance, the stubborn set of his shoulders - and the more he doesn’t recognize, like how Tubbo wears a shirt with a taller collar and how his hands drift to his neck every five seconds only to be uselessly shoved away. The firework scars paint a jagged spiderweb over everything.
There’s no doubt about it. This conversation is a formality. Tubbo is leaving, with or without him, and he is not coming back.
~
Las Nevadas? The Syndicate? Snowchester? What are you talking about? It’s November in Pogtopia, and Quackity, Niki, and Tubbo are going to change everything for the better.
Or, the canon-divergence story where one decision improves the lives of literally everyone - except Tommy, whose life gets exponentially worse, actually.

Summary
Tommy had been running around the city for over an hour now. The so called 'hero' had caught up to him not too long ago. His legs ached, lungs heaving with every breath.
Why was he even being chased at all? All Tommy did was stop a stupid drug deal. It wasn't his fault the syringes broke and the deal was off.
Something sharp had hit his legs not too long ago, and the little cuts were starting to get deeper with each strike. Tommy ignored the trickle of blood running down his legs, making his pants stick to the lacerated skin.
Ranboo was going to be pissed when Tommy came back home this late...
