    Summary

    Tommy quickly threw sweater after sweater into the bag, trying to be as quick as possible. (Why was he packing again?) He’d packed everything but his food and water already, he just needed something to keep him warm. It’d be cold on the streets, after all.
    ‘Oh, right,’ he thinks. ‘That’s why.’ He’s homeless. And for what? Nothing.
    Tommy’s hand ghosted up to the mottling bruise on his lower jaw, wondering if this was what it was like to be completely out of control of his life.

    Summary

    Tommy doesn't like their newest foster home. It's not that the family were bad, if they were he'd tell his older brother Techno and they'd be out by the week's end, but Tommy just… doesn't gel well there. Doesn't fit in or enjoy his time with his new foster family.

    Techno's happy here though, so he suffers through the days, until eventually it's too much. Until eventually all he can do is leave...

    Or Tommy and Techno find each other in desperate times, and maybe friendship (family?) might be the solution to their problems.

    Summary

    “Uh— Phil?” The man calls over his shoulder, golden eyes never leaving Tommy’s face, “I need your help over here.”

    Tommy bares his teeth, wings fluttering threateningly. He doesn’t want the man to get help, he wants him to go away.

    Another man steps into view. This one is short and blonde, with wings a hundred times bigger than Tommy’s, and he’s dressed just as nice as the first man. He hasn’t seen Tommy yet; he’s looking at the big pink one. Mouth open like he’s going to speak.

    Tommy hisses again, louder this time. And the man's head snaps towards him— which doesn’t scare Tommy. He doesn’t shrink back, doesn’t try to tuck away his wings with a whine. Because he’s big. He’s big and scary; nothing is scarier than him and he knows it, because he says it.

    “Oh,” The man says softly, expression falling at his eyes dart across Tommy’s face. “Oh, mate.”

     

    - Or

     

    Tommy is a small little gooseboy who gets picked up by some bewildered ambassadors and their son. Shenanigans ensue.

    Summary

    "Bye, Wilbur! I'll talk to you later!"

    Tommy gets off of the tube. He pulls on the straps of his backpack. He plays a Taylor Swift song in his headphones, and starts heading up and out of the underground. He gets to the top step, his feet landing next to one another. Tommy's world goes blank.

    Another reset. Another loop.
