a bond built of hate and cabins in the woods by RamblingsofATeenageFangirl
Fandoms: Dream SMP
03 Dec 2022
Tags
Summary
"It's not that bad, right? Three weeks in a cabin in a nice forest, it could be fun."
"Three weeks in a cabin," Tommy confirmed, stuffing his favorite t-shirt into a duffel bag, "With my mortal enemies. There's only a few rooms! I won't be able to avoid them!"
"I think that's the point," Techno said, "If you're forced to stay together for three weeks, you're bound to walk out either hating each other more than before or with an understanding of the others. They're hoping that it's the second one."
"I'm gonna walk out and their bodies will be at the bottom of the lake," Tommy mumbled.
"Please don't murder them."
Or,
Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo have hated each other for their entire lives. When this decade long rivalship comes to a head on the last day of their sophomore year, resulting in a three way fist fight in the middle of the cafeteria, they aren't shocked when their parents decide that something needs to put a stop to the insanity.
They're all pretty sure that getting exiled to an isolated cabin together in the middle of the woods for the first three weeks of summer wasn't a normal punishment, though.

Summary
Tommy’s skin was so cold.
“Wil?” He asked his son with lukewarm anger. “I said you need to keep your brother warm and comfortable.”
“I…I did! I tucked him into bed this afternoon as you said.” Wilbur put down his fork and said nervously.
“You didn't do a good job.” Phil gave him a cold glimpse. “Are you trying to make Tommy upset?”
“Sorry…” The teenager tucked on his sweater and bowed his head. “I promise I tried…”
“Stop making excuses!” Phil slammed on the dining table, making all the tableware wobble. “Didn't you promise never to neglect him again? Didn't you promise to treat him well?”
Before Wilbur could open his mouth and say something in return, Tommy fell forward into his dinner.
“Tommy!” Wilbur yelled, helping his baby brother readjust to his seat. “Are you alright?”
Tommy didn't respond and just let his brother clean the cheese and bacon off his face.
_____One-shot horror where they had a perfectly fine family dinner with their perfectly fine baby brother.

Summary
“Kid-” he called, startling the poor thing. The vampire was jumpy, not in the way a new blood was, in the way Wilbur had seen ghouls act. “Are you-”
“I need your help.” the little vampire demanded, taking a hesitant step closer. Wilbur hummed encouragement for the kid to continue, if it was revenge against the vampire than turned him Wilbur would be happy to deliver.
“I want you to kill me.”
Aka Vampire!Tommy asks Hunter!Wilbur to kill him and Wilbur says “No <3 I’d rather keep you as a brother.”

Summary
“I don’t believe you for a second,” the villager said with a scoff. “Reviving the dead? You, a god? That’s the most preposterous thing I’ve heard in all my years.”
“Oh? You don’t believe me?” Dream smiled. “That’s okay, I’m more than willing to give you all a demonstration. Tommy,” he called, gesturing to the blond.
Tommy knew exactly what was going to happen, and he knew that there was no point in resisting, for it’d be over quicker if he gave up and went along with it (and if he struggled he’d really just be making a fool of himself). So he walked over to Dream, quietly, obediently, and stood facing the crowd. At least his death would be quick this time, he thought, as he shut his eyes and felt the cool of metal against his neck. One slash, and the world went dark.
Or: Tommy didn’t originally plan to hit the water when he jumped off the tower in Logsted, so he hit the ground instead. Dream decides that’s as good a time as any to test out the revival book, and upon succeeding, decides he’s a god and it’s high time he gained some followers.
(Title from “Crucified” by Army of Lovers, chapter titles from “Honey I’m Home” by GHOST)

Summary
“Oh Wil,” Tommy sighed, pushing the door open fully as he stepped into the room. Wilbur didn’t react as Tommy walked over to the bed, and he didn’t react when Tommy sat down on the mattress next to him either. He blinked once, but his gaze didn’t move from that empty spot on the wall.
Reaching out, Tommy rested a hand on Wilbur’s shoulder, and the only reaction he got was more blinking from his older brother.
“Are you having one of your bad days?” Tommy asked.
Wilbur didn’t respond.
“Can you hear me?” He tried again.
There was a single blink, and Tommy figured that was the closest thing to an answer he was going to get.
or, Wilbur has a bad day and Tommy helps him through it.
or or, I wanted to write about fruit and codependency.

Summary
"Tommy, kids are always going to be assholes." Phil says, for once sounding like a robot, almost monotone in that way Techno's tone is on the daily. "Just ignore them. They're probably just miserable and," Phil lifts one hand and waves it around, gesturing, before bringing it back down to continue typing. He doesn't turn around to look at Tommy at all. "—you know." he sighs.
"You can a handle it." his dad says. "Just— grow up. Be the bigger person."
A heavy weight like a stone drops in Tommy's stomach. He feels it, and with the stone, his heart as well. For a second, he thinks he might be sick.
Just grow up.
"O—oh." Tommy chokes, feeling a ball forming in his throat, blocking it up, causing tears to prick at his eyes. He goes to try to speak around it, but—
"Is there anything else you need?" Phil asks, endlessly facing away, still not even bothering to face Tommy. "I'm really busy, kiddo."

or, in which Tommy is being bullied in school, and makes the mistake of trying to speak up about it.

Summary
“Wanna play?” Wilbur asks. His arm lowers, displaying his racket to further explain what he meant. He continues when it looks like the boy is halfway to refusing and scurrying off, “Just a quick one.” Wilbur shrugs. “I won’t keep you for long. Maybe just one set.”
The court is entirely silent, not a single sound being ricocheted off equipment and blown along by the light breeze as the kid seems to… consider.
Wilbur hopes, anyway. It almost makes unease pool in his gut, how empty he’s looked up until this point. It’s nearly unnoticeable, and it is completely silent as he shifts on the balls of his feet once, twice, three times, and then—
“Ok.”
Or, in which Wilbur is a world-renowned tennis player and going on fourth-time winner of the Manburg Open, and Tommy is a ball boy on the run from his past. (for sports day :))

Summary
It’s going to be Tommy’s life before this conversation, and his life after.
Even— even when it— even after exile, after everything else, things didn’t change. He could avoid Dream, and it was like the whole thing went away. He could relax with his family and feel, for a brief moment, as if none of it had ever happened.
It never affected the rest of Tommy’s life, because he treated those nights as a parasite, as a tumor to be excised, as blood-red vines wrapping around the back of his mind and keeping it captive, a thing to be kept entirely and wholly separate from the rest of him.
It never affected the rest of Tommy’s life, because he never fucking let it.
or, the one where Ranboo isn't sure what happened with Dream (spoiler: he knows), Tommy is a little too sure of what happened with Dream (spoiler: he's wrong), and their friends and family help piece together the aftermath.

Summary
Yellow eyes— seemingly devoid of a body— stared back at him from the darkness. They didn’t blink.
Tommy’s breath caught in his throat.
“No, no, no,” he whimpered. The rough forest floor cut into his bare feet and his ankle burned with every stumbled step backwards, but his fear outweighed any pain he could possibly feel.
The yellow eyes didn’t move closer, but they did tilt, as if considering him.
He took another step back.
And promptly collided with something.
Tommy screamed and lurched around, forgetting about the yellow eyes in his panic. To his horror, he found himself staring up at the most terrifying creature he’d ever seen.
Red eyes stared, unblinking, back. White tusks— sharp enough to sink into Tommy’s soft flesh— shone in Tommy’s night vision.
“Little one.” The voice was low and other-worldly. It paralyzed Tommy where he stood. “You should not be out here.”
Tommy wasn’t breathing anymore. All functions had stopped beyond his heart pounding out a single word: run, run, run.
Or, Tommy's running for his life from hybrid hunters, until suddenly, he's cornered by something much worse.
SBI just wants to help.

Summary
“Gross,” Techno and Quackity comment in unison.
Ranboo approaches, raising the hem of his shirt all the way up to his forehead and drying up. “Good job on that last eight-hundred, Tom.”
Tommy shot him an unamused look. “You lapped me. Twice. I didn’t think that was possible.”
“Everything is possible if you put your mind to it,” Ranboo grins. “It’s cause your legs are shorter.”
“It can’t be. Quackity lapped me, and he’s like five-two.”
“Tommy I will strangle you–”
--
The fic where Tommy runs cross country and does not enjoy it one bit. Luckily, he has friends to balance out the negativity.

Summary
Tommy wasn't stupid.
He knew what his family did whenever they made excuses of overtime shifts and plans with friends.
From the videos online, their mechanisms were the same regardless of what costumes or masks they wore. He recognised their styles of speech and the insults they threw at heroes. Beyond the voice modifiers, Tommy could tell.
His family were villains.
But he didn't care. Because they were his family. Even if they didn't know he knew.
So why did they continue to lie to him?

Summary
"Tommy," Tubbo says suddenly, "can you answer a question for me?"
"I don't know." Tommy curls his arms around himself. "I – I can try? I mean, I don't even know where we are, big man."
"Oh no, it's nothing like that." Tubbo's eyes glint a bit. "This should be pretty easy for you to answer. What year is it, king?"
Oh. This is easy.
"Well, it's 2018, innit?"
The phone that Phil is holding goes clattering to the floor.
or, younger Tommy gets transported to 2022 and realizes -- oh, dreams really do come true.

Summary
Dream’s been captured. It’s over, it’s over.
But Tommy’s still here, hunched over blueprints, pretending that the trembling in his fingers is the coffee and nothing else.
He knows—this isn’t the end, this is the moment of peace, the quiet refrain, this is when the audience thinks everything will be okay and everyone will live happily ever after, this is the single breath before the grand finale and everyone dies as the curtain closes.
Tommy breathes, counting each one out, counting each heartbeat, counting the seconds as they slip through his fingers. He doesn’t have the luxury to do anything else.

Honey-Sweet Monsters and The Creatures That Are Humanity by arxnoon

Summary
Tommy has monsters under his bed, turns around that those monsters might be more family than anyone else.
...
Tommy stared into its eyes, soft, honey brown with something hypnotising in them—a dangerous, red swirl. It was tall, really tall, with black horns decorating its messy chocolate brown curls, phantom wings tucked underneath his shirt behind it. It had gray-ish, fair skin with a soft tint of brown—just enough to where it could pass as human.
”Hi,” Tommy whispered barely.
”Hello.” The creature let out a breathy chuckle, “Who did this to you, darling?”
”You’ll hurt them,” Tommy breathed.
”You’re right.” The creature agreed.

"I think I want to kill myself," Tommy says, and it comes out like red-stained glass, hacked up and spit out on the carpet at their feet.
There's a pause.
"I think," Techno says, eyes on Phil's stunned expression, "we should go on a road trip."

Bookmarker's Notes
Tommy wants to enjoy this right here – he’s on a ranch, and his feet are buried in hay and his head is just one upwards tilt away from heaven.
Life, he realizes, is much, much more than his room.
