    Summary

    It seems to Aimé Deverell that there is very little point to life, except for what pleasures can be enjoyed before the grave. Life is short - thank God - but at least there's enough in the world to dull the senses in the meantime.

    That philosophy shatters like glass when he meets Jean-Pierre, an angel.

    Summary

    My (20M) boyfriend (28?M) keeps getting takeout when I just want a real meal
    Does anyone have advice for how to make him stop and grocery shop for one fuckign day? I’m sick of hamburgers. I didn’t know how many hamburgers there could be and I hate all of them. We’re on the road so our options are limited but I’m sure we could have one thing that isn’t fucking hamburgers.

    He’s not human so it’s not like he has allergies he just keeps saying we can get food on the go. Sick of it.

    edit: Guys I just wanted some friendly advice for getting him to buy real food why is everyone mad at me for calling him not human
    edit2: What the fuck is an ablelism

    Summary

    Summary

    It was something that boys did, Polly thought, a little defensively. She knew they did. They hardly seemed to shut up about it. And alright, the mechanics were a little different, but in the process of learning how to fake it convincingly she’d found herself trying out a few things, things she got rather good at, and was not a little put out by the discovery that she couldn’t even snatch five minutes- well, okay, fifteen, if she could get it- to put it to good use. If nothing else, she could use the stress relief.

    Summary

    Tommy was just trying to get away from the vanguard of murder robots. He did not mean to fall from the sky and break most of his equipment (including his bones). And now he's been kidnapped/adopted by a beanpole, a wingman, and a pig. Help.

    Phil and Ranboo are just chillin' in Techno's house when a tiny feral version of Tommy falls from the sky. Which shouldn't be possible because, according to Ranboo, Tommy died in prison. He's got weird armor, weirder weapons, he just tried to stab Phil, and- oh, okay, he blasted a hole in the wall. Lovely.

    None of these people know what they're doing, and the child just brings more angst, fluff, and shenanigans than anyone thinks is possible while also kickstarting a mass emotional healing arc that no one knew they needed.

    OR
    Dystopian resistance sci-fi Tommy falls through a portal and gets adopted by the Syndicate. (And yes it's adoption, because Phil.)

    "What's up with him? What happened?" He nodded to Harrington's body, leaning up against the mirror. Eyes wide and unblinking. He looked dazed and pale. Eddie didn't like this. This looked fucking bad.

    Summary

    After a minute or so of this person staring at the medicine while Tubbo stared at them, he starts to get a bit bored. So, he clears his throat, and says in a conversational voice, “They sell pretty damn good Tylenol here, don’t they?”

    They jump, clearly taken aback by Tubbo’s appearance. They blink at him once before nodding slowly, clearing their throat.

    “Isn’t, uh, most Tylenol the- the same everywhere?”

    --

    Tubbo is an accidental part of a kind-of family, worn tennis shoes firmly planted on the sidelines as a ticking time clock mocks the day his stolen life will crumble, shoved under the floorboards of his best friend's attic. In the waiting process, he meets a seventeen year old severely lacking in both memory and effective hair dye, who defines himself as the spaces between notebook pages and part-time jobs.

    Like this, Tubbo meets Ranboo, who, despite everything, may be Tubbo's most worthwhile pit stop in his journey to survival yet.

    (Or, a high school AU in which finding home and staying afloat are two tasks you can't shoulder at once, but there are other people who will carry the world with you, if you can muster the bitter task of giving it up first.)

    Summary

    Getting tricked into fighting a much more dangerous monster than he'd been hired for isn't unusual for Technoblade. If it were any normal kind of monster, he would recalibrate his plan to fit the new obstacle and overcome it, then he'd return to town and intimidate appropriate pay out of whatever sorry sod had thought they could trick him.

    This, however, is not a normal monster, and now Technoblade's lost his vision. Sharp eyesight isn't all that makes a good Witcher, but he's never heard any tales of a blind Witcher before. Probably for a reason. Those Witcher who have come before him likely haven't been rescued by a child, either, and then subsequently become reliant on the little boy who wears bells on his wrists and laughs like the sun rises for him. He can ignore the strange occurrences that seem to keep popping up if it means Tommy can lead him to someone who can help him get his vision back.

    If he comes to trust him along the way, then so what. He needs more friends.

    Summary

    The year is 1861, and Prince Albert has just passed away.

    However, this isn't quite the focus of private investigator Wilbur Soot and his loyal assistant Tommy No-Last-Name (despite Tommy's protests about how the newly single Queen may find him an eligible and particularly charming bachelor) -- a string of murders, initiated by a first kill on a night of a full moon, have begun in Lmanberg, a small city nestled in England. What's curious is the murderer's penchant for love poetry spelled out with his mutilated presents.

    Luckily for Superintendent Techno Blade, Wilbur Soot and his partner have offered their assistance to solve the case, along with their oddly specific knowledge of Renaissance literature, which has elicited the killer's interest as well.

    Summary

    The setting, for the moment, is a house on the edge of town, bordered closely by the forest. Our characters are as follows: Philza Minecraft, immortal Angel of Death, loving father of the slightly less immortal Wilbur Soot. Wilbur is an aspiring musician, intent on traveling the many worlds to share his music and his ideals. His father plans to go with him to watch him achieve greatness, just as he has always known his little boy would be capable of doing. Our third character, and the focus of our story, is one Technoblade. The Blood God, Slayer of Armies, Feller of Unjust Regimes.

    However, a foe is about to join the party.

    That foe being a three-month-old mortal infant by the name of Tommy Innit. A nuisance, if you were to ask our protagonist. A nuisance he will undoubtedly grow fond of.

    FOREVER UNFINISHED. RIP INCIDENTAL FATHERHOOD I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER.

    Summary

    Technoblade feels as though he was born of snow and ice and glacier. They are not delicate hands that hold him—teach him to stand, to walk, to run—but when he steps outside and freezing air grasps him down to the bone, he is held nonetheless.

    Techno has lived in the subarctic all his life and, despite the difficulties, he knows how to survive. It's too bad for him that the universe has decided to send something worse than a blizzard or frostbite: people. Now if only they would stop trying to befriend or kill him...

    "You call that a fucking bird?!" Tommy nearly shrieked at the sight of the...creature...in Techno's arms.
    That's no bird, that's not a fucking bird if Tommy's ever seen one. His wrists and ankles taped up to prevent him from swiping at his rescuers, the creature glared weakly at Tommy with icy blue eyes. Glazed in pain and confusion and fear.
    That's NOT a fucking bird!
