    Summary

    “You hate me,” Tommy declares, throwing his arms every which way. “You hate me and you want me to die and you’re back on your villain arc and I will never forgive you!” Wilbur holds him with a flat, unimpressed stare.

    “Are you comparing me blowing up L’manburg to taking in a stray cat?”

    Summary

    “Nice night, innit?” The kid asked after a moment, giving him a sideways grin.

    ...what? Did the kid not realize the situation they were in?

    “This is my house,” Wilbur stated a bit dumbly.

    “Yeah, I reckoned it was,” the boy replied.

    “You’re in my house, stealing my food,” Wilbur continued, staring at the kid and waiting for the fear at being caught to set in.

    But to his surprise, the kid just shrugged.

    “You gonna do anything about it?”

    or, how Wilbur ends up adopting the local thief

    Summary

    Her beliefs haven’t changed. Freedom, safety. It’s the world that’s shifted into something unrecognizable.

    It’s Wilbur.

    Which is why Niki is making an axe.

    Or, Niki does what she believes is necessary.

    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

    “Something has been stolen from us,” Thanatos said, his wings puffing up as he spoke. “Something that is very important to us. And we are fairly certain that the person who stole this thing of ours is in this very crowd.”

    Dream tensed beside Tommy as the crowd broke out into murmurs. Eyes were darting towards the different heroes in the crowd, the benefactors no doubt assuming that the culprit had to be a hero.

    “Like we said, we haven’t crashed your party to cause trouble. But we want this thing returned to us, and we won’t hesitate to take extreme measures to get what we want.”

    or, Tommy was a lot of things: a newly debuted hero sidekick, an amnesiac, and a former kidnapping victim of the Syndicate.

    Tommy didn't actually remember that last one though. That was just what Dream told him.

    Only weeks after his hero debut, the Syndicate announces they are searching for something, and Tommy knows it has to be him. The scariest part? If they find him, Tommy will have no clue what to expect, because the Syndicate might know him, but he has no memories of them.

    So he can't let them find him. No matter what.

    Of course they end up finding him anyway.

    Summary

    Wilbur’s breathing hitched as he looked into the pale eyes of the dead boy. Unlike before, his lips were no longer blue, and there was no more seaweed stuck in his blonde curls. He was sitting up now, the waves soaking the bottom of his pants as he sat on the sand across from Wilbur.

    “You-”

    “I’m not dead, Wil,” the boy said, the words tumbling out of him in a rush. “I’m not dead, don’t fucking listen to them when they say I’m dead because I’m not. You know I’m not!”

    “I-I saw your body,” Wilbur stammered, unsure of how the dead boy knew his name.

    “It’s not me! I don’t know what the fuck that thing was, but I’m not dead! You can feel it, can’t you?” The boy pleaded, his voice cracking as he started crawling on the sand towards Wilbur. “You have to save me, Wil. Please, you need to get me out of here!”

    or, Wilbur finds a dead body at the beach, and that's only the start of his problems.

    Summary

    Again, Tommy knew he shouldn’t care. But he knew he’d never be able to live with himself if he did what Wilbur asked. This guy deserved a chance to live, even if he was undead. His chance at a normal human life had been stolen, and while Tommy couldn’t explain why, he felt like he had to make that up to him.

    “Just… let me try to find you a blood source that doesn’t involve hurting people,” Tommy said, squeezing his shoulders. “Once we get that worked out, and you don’t have to worry about feeding, we can figure out where to go from there.”

    The frustration slowly leaked out of Wilbur’s face, until the only thing left in the lines of his forehead was exhaustion. Not physical exhaustion, but something more. Something deeper.

    “You’re the worst fucking vampire hunter I’ve ever met.”

    aka the fic where Tommy's google search history is probably 'what do I do when the vampire I'm trying to kill is depressed as hell and I feel too bad to actually kill him?'

    (turns out the answer is 'make him your roommate and have a found family arc together')

    Summary

    Quackity definitely didn’t seem to believe him. His frown deepened as his gaze darted over Wilbur’s face, like he was searching for any tells that Wilbur was lying.

    After a few seconds, he paused his searching, blinking a few times before his eyes widened.

    “What the fuck is on your face?”

    Wilbur blinked, bringing a hand up to rub around his mouth. “Uh, do I have, like, sauce or-”

    “No, no not- since when the hell do you have freckles?” Quackity asked, looking utterly perplexed as he stared at Wilbur’s nose.

    “Freckles?” Wilbur repeated a bit dumbly.

    “Yeah, have you looked in a mirror recently? You have freckles.”

    …oh.

    or, since being revived Wilbur has been spending a lot of time in the sun.

    or or, I use sunlight and freckles to talk about post-revival Wilbur for nearly 5k words

    Summary

    Short crimeboys character study (sort of) exploring the "people come back to life with stitches" headcanon and what that might look like. Not super plot motivated; it's mostly just them talking and me being a las nevadas enthusiast. This is ideally read on a computer for formatting purposes but mobile is fine

    Some parts might be a little triggering if medical stuff distresses you (references to getting stitches put in, infections, etc) but nothing is bloody or graphic

    Summary

    He doesn’t look in the mirror beyond a cursory glance in the mornings as he’s dragging himself out of bed, just long enough to be sure that his veneer of professionalism is holding, because frankly, he has nothing if he doesn’t have that. No one’s called him on his slowly slipping standards just yet, and he intends to keep it that way.

    But this morning, his gaze lingers just ever-so-slightly longer than he normally allows. And then, his vision catches on—something.

     

    Wilbur wakes up one morning to find white in his hair. This is—irritating, for several reasons, but that's all it is. An annoyance. A distraction.

    There's nothing deeper at work here. There's nothing wrong at all.

    (Or, the stresses of the presidency give Wilbur a white streak of hair earlier in canon, and somehow, this serves as the cry for help he can never bring himself to make.)

    Summary

    “You’re such a showman,” Quackity tells him, passing over a cigarette. Wilbur will be dead in a month, no matter who wins, but he’s the only one who knows that. “You and Schlatt. All for the fucking stage.”

    Wilbur laughs. “Yeah?”

    Quackity narrows his eyes as Wilbur pushes out a lungful of smoke. “Yeah.”

    There’s a grave in the woods behind Pogtopia, with Wilbur’s name scrawled on a sign and a pile of forget-me-nots on top of it.

    -

    Wilbur Soot, from the day that he dies to the day he goes free.

    Summary

    Tubbo wakes from a dream of fire and smoke to find Tommy shaking him.

     

     

     

    Tommy is bright, is loud, is irritating and joyful and a force of unbridled chaos. So when, seemingly overnight, his laughs turn brittle and his eyes turn shadowed, and flinches start to punctuate every movement he makes, no one knows why, or what to do about it.

    Tubbo and Wilbur are concerned, to say the least. And they're not the only ones.

    (Meanwhile, Tommy is desperately trying to prevent a nightmare from happening to everyone he knows. And if he has to sacrifice himself to make this the best possible timeline, so be it.)

    Summary

    “You- You’re Wilbur Soot,” Tommy stammered, gaping at his childhood hero.

    Wilbur grinned. “You’ve heard of me?”

    “Heard of you?” Tommy let out a breathless laugh. “You were, like, my favorite surfer when I was a kid! You’re the whole fucking reason I went pro in the first place!”

    ...

    Suddenly, Tommy’s eyes widened as he realized what Wilbur was saying.

    “Are you asking me if I want to try surfing big waves here?” Tommy asked, frowning at Wilbur.

    Wilbur nodded. “I can teach you.”

    or, there's quite the difference between normal surfing and big wave surfing. Tommy gets to learn that firsthand.

    Summary

    “Redwood trees were all around L’manberg,” Tommy says out of the blue, one day.

    He doesn’t seem like he’s done, so Phil lets him talk.

    “They’re huge. Wil told us that they were the tallest trees in the world, and the oldest, too. They live for hundreds and thousands of years. We used them as protection, when we had just started. Kept us hidden from people we didn’t want all up in our business, y’know? Didn’t work as much once we got bigger and those walls got built, but it was nice. Me and Tubbo used to climb them, like—making a contest of who could go higher. I always won, of course,” he adds, as if by habit.

    “I never placed it,” Ranboo says suddenly. “The TNT, I mean.”

    Wilbur sighs and stubs the cigarette out against the van roof. His fingers itch for another, but he threads them tightly together in his lap.

    “I know,” he says. “I know, Ranboo.”

    "Welcome to McDonalds, order whenever you're ready."

    It’s common knowledge that the Craft boys nearly died on Halloween. Now, there’s more to Wilbur’s shadow than there should be. He caught Tommy in the bathroom last week, spitting up wet, dark leaves into the shining enamel curve of the sink. Wilbur thinks maybe he sees too much these days.
