Summary
Yet he can breathe. Under water. The mere thought short circuits Tommy’s brain.
There’s another coo, so soothing and gentle that it brings Tommy back to the present quickly. Like it were softly calling his attention, like a parent or something, but Tommy isn’t sure how he knows that.
Still, he tries to speak. Just because he can apparently breathe underwater, doesn’t mean he isn’t scared out of his fucking mind.
What’s going on? He wants to ask. What happened? But all that comes out is a series of weird chirping sounds, getting higher and louder and more frantic as Tommy begins to panic again.
Or, you don't take potions from giant alien mermaids you've only known for like 3 months.

Summary
“And your name?” The fae asks, a hand held out, his voice so kind and sweet that Tommy nearly forgets himself, forgets the warnings he’s been given.
He opens his mouth to answer, then shuts it just as quickly.
“Uh.” Tommy says, like a fool. Now that was close. Too close.
(Or, a story in which Tommy has always been too curious for his own good.)

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.
