    Summary

    There’s a grunt. One, two, three, quick and panicked, and suddenly a large, fluffy mass is leaning into Tommy’s space.

    Still curled up in pain, Tommy almost misses it—almost misses the dilation of Techno’s pupils, almost misses the constant chuff, chuff, chuff, and snort, snort, snort, as Techno’s head dips down to look at him. But Tommy’s been looking for it all week, so, as if magnetized, Tommy still lifts his pained head upward.

    Instinct-Techno is back. The Instinct-Techno that looks out for him. The Instinct-Techno that actually cares.

    ---

    When Tommy was first rescued, he had told his crew that humans couldn't stand touch. Now, touch-starved and lonely, Tommy was willing to hold onto that secret forever.

    But when Techno falls into his instincts, Tommy's resolve starts to crumble, and he starts to wonder exactly what he has to do to get this love all the time.

    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

    It feels mocking, in a way. A simple, yellow line. The tape stared back at him, and Wilbur decided that he has had too much to drink tonight.

    “Those are my cigarettes.”

    “Yes,” he confirmed again, with a nod, this time. “Your point?”

    “You stole from me,” Wilbur accused, raising an eyebrow at how casual the guy was being.

    “I also saved your life,” he countered, and Wil sneered.

    “I didn't ask you to.”

    “Right, sorry, then. Here's my apology gift,” Tommy handed him a big object. Wilbur took it, and very quickly realized that it was a guitar. His guitar.

    “And this is... my guitar.”

    Or,

    Afraid of unkept promises and drowning in memories of what used to be, Wilbur Soot tries dying. Instead, he finally finds a light at the end of his tunnel. Met at the Jubilee Line, and parted ways at the same place, Wilbur and Tommy were brothers.

    Summary

    "That was Floaty. Or at least, that's what I'm calling him. Fucking kid won't tell us his name," Dream carried on like nothing had happened, and from beside Techno, Wilbur started wheezing like he was dying. "I think he's twelve or thirteen. Wind magic, he's quick and real snarky, very malnourished, blind-"

    "Wait, blind?" Techno peered harder at the communicator. Wilbur stopped laughing. "How the hell is he able to slip by you then?"

    "Uses the air currents like feelers, I think," Dream's breath was coming heavier as he carried on running. "Gets an idea of where things are in relation to him. He doesn't always get it right, sometimes there are cracks in things big enough to feel like an escape route and he slams into a wall. Or he doesn't angle close enough to the ground and trips on things. He's uh-" Dream flipped the communicator around, and Techno blinked as Bad flew through the air, screeching the whole way. "He's slippery."

    ---

    TLDR: Blindinnit has wind magic and gets himself adopted by the Antarctic Empire's royal family.

    Summary

    Tommy's not sure how he landed this job as a personal assistant to the three founders of Sleepy Bois Inc., but for the first time in his life, he's making decent money and being treated with respect. Not to mention, he's made friends outside of his roommate, Dream. Wilbur, Technoblade, and Phil might technically be his bosses, but Tommy's never felt more comfortable with anyone than he does with them.

    If only they didn't worry so much about the bruises that keep appearing on his skin. Tommy was fine.

    Right?

    Summary

    It was after dinner that Tommy made his decision. “I should head home,” he said reluctantly.

    “I’ll drive you,” Phil said, grabbing his keys off the end table.

    Phil was quiet as they drove. Tommy fiddled with the radio for a moment before just letting it play.

    He sighed and let his head fall against the window. There were so many things he wanted to say, starting with turn around and ending with please take me home with you.

    Instead, he said, “Phil, I can… talk to you about anything, right?”

    Phil’s response was immediate. “Of course. Anything.” He sent Tommy a look that Tommy could only classify as hopeful. “Big or small.”

    “Okay.” Tommy nodded. He didn’t know why he suddenly felt like crying. “Okay.”

    For a while, they just sat, stopped at a red light and listening to the blinker as it clicked away. Tommy tried to enjoy the heat of the car while it lasted.

    As they turned onto Tommy’s street, Phil asked, hesitant: “Is there something you want to talk to me about, Tommy?”

    For a moment, Tommy just chewed on the inside of his cheek, biting down until he tasted blood. “No,” he said finally. The lie tasted bitter on his tongue.

    Summary

    Phil was a child psychologist. He’d seen dozens of cases of abuse and neglect, and had reported every single one to the state as was required of him. But none had ever been so personal. None had involved the boy laughing loudly now on Phil’s sofa.

    For the last four or so months, Phil had been compiling a slowly-growing file documenting his concerns over Tommy and his living situation. His constant hunger— standard, perhaps, for a teenage boy, but just a little too desperate to be normal— his injuries, the exhaustion he seemed to carry with him everywhere. His refusal to have Wilbur or Technoblade over to his house. The flinches he gave when someone approached too quickly. The list went on and on. Many of these notes on their own posed little concern. But all together, it painted a picture Phil couldn’t think about without feeling nauseous.

    Or, Phil is a mandated reporter and unfortunately for Tommy, he cares.

    Summary

    Tommy was miles from home, bloody and panting, stumbling through the dirty streets as he did his best to cover his tracks. There was no doubt in his mind that Dream would be after him, and this time, he wouldn’t take so long to kill him.

    Tommy couldn’t do this anymore. He wished the heroes had killed him the moment they first caught him. Even now, having escaped, he wanted to die. He just didn’t want to be alone as he did it.

    But he had nothing and no one. He was alone.

    His exhausted mind drifted to the only people he deemed important enough to want to be close to.

    He wanted to die. Siren, the Blade, and the Angel of Death wanted to kill him. It was a match made in heaven.

    And anyway, what was one more chase?

    Summary

    It was after midnight when Wilbur caught sight of Red. The vigilante was tripping over his own feet in an alleyway, one hand braced flat against the brick wall in a futile attempt to steady himself. For a moment, Wilbur just observed him. It was funny, really. All these months of cat-and-mouse, and Wilbur just happened to stumble upon him here.

    With his hands spread in pleasure, the perfect picture of a villain, Wilbur stepped into the alley. “Fancy meeting you here.”

    To his satisfaction, Red startled hard enough to send himself flailing backwards. He ended up on his ass on the concrete, peering up at the villain through his lopsided cowl.

    Wilbur snickered. He was still advancing, slowly, enjoying the uncertainty he could see in Red’s posture, how it bordered on fear. The vigilante was still on the ground, his hands braced behind him, mouth open as he stared up at Wilbur.

    “You…” Red’s head wobbled as he tilted it. He still hadn’t gotten up. “I… know you?”

    Wilbur stopped in his tracks.

     

    Or, Tommy can't remember that he's supposed to hate Wilbur. The Wilbur is too stunned to speak.

    Summary

    The bell on the door rang as it was pushed open. It was too early for Technoblade’s next appointment, so— without even glancing up— he said, “No walk-ins.”

    The footsteps didn’t stop until they reached the counter. Someone cleared their throat. Technoblade raised his eyes to find a teenager glaring at him over the counter.

    “No walk-ins,” Technoblade repeated, bored.

    “I’m not here for a tattoo.”

    “Well, we don’t do anything else,” Technoblade said dryly. This was the most entertainment he’d gotten all day, save for the long appointment he’d had that morning with Dream, one of his most consistent customers.

    “You need help,” the kid said with conviction.

    Technoblade arched his brow. “I wasn’t aware of that.”

    “Well, you do.”

    Technoblade examined him critically. The kid was tall but clearly young— the kind of customer Technoblade would double-check the ID of. “Are you even old enough to be in here?”

    The kid ignored the question. “You need help around here. And I need an apprenticeship.”

     

    Or, Technoblade is a tattoo artist and Tommy seeks an apprenticeship. The ink of their lives bleed together in unexpected ways.

    Summary

    Tommy didn't know what he'd done wrong.

    He had lived with this foster family for over a year now. He'd had a cake and party for his birthday, Christmas presents, he'd been included. But never once did Phil call him his son.

    He was never referred to as his child, never a real part of the family.

    So, he tried his hardest to get Phil to call him that. Even if it meant becoming something other than himself.

     

    ~ 5 times Tommy tries to be Phil's son + 1 time he found out he didn't have to try.

    Summary

    It’s quiet. Tommy doesn’t like it when it’s quiet.

     

     

    Tommy was loud. Tommy was combative and hostile and defensive and aggressive. Tommy was destructive. He knows he’s a problem child, constantly getting into trouble and wrecking any semblance of a family he might have left. But he doesn’t stop- he prefers the disgusted looks and constant new faces to the heartbreak that comes with caring.

    Tommy’s been bounced from home to home for most of his adolescence. This place is supposed to be a new start with people who care, but Tommy can’t bring himself to open up. He knows it’ll only end in pain and bitterness. He has his friends and support system, and he tells himself it’s all he needs.

    “We’re here.” He was told. “Try not to fuck this one up.”
