    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

    Tommy Innit, known mostly as Red Thunder, the golden and beloved sidekick of Dream, has been doing his best to be the best he could ever be.
    He'd been training under Dream's wing, and honestly couldn't have asked for anything better! Except-

    He's suddenly asked by the Sleepy Bois Inc (one of the best hero groups in the country, his idols) to join them on one of their missions, and he's almost screaming in joy. Almost.

    But why do they keep insisting that Dream has been treating him wrong when the man had just wanted to make him better?

    .

    Or
    Tommy temporarily joins the sbi hero group and finds out he might have been hurt more than he realized

    Summary

    Tommy’s entire life has been covered in crime tape and decorated with blood from his furthest memories. They tell him that his trauma is a gift—that his empathy should be used to catch the very thing that haunts his blood.

    So when the past comes knocking and he’s called to profile a case that hits way too close to home, will his empathy extend beyond that of his gift or will he stay out of it?

    After all, blood is thicker than water but not thicker than his family’s case files.

    Summary

    “Are you—fucking mad?” Sentinel heaves.
    “You asked for me,” Tommy pants, trying not to show pain but knows he’s not succeeding as he heaves air like a man starved. “You asked the heroes to hand me over in exchange for the hostages. You’ve seen me fight. Zyghost knows too.”
    He knows that Tommy can’t jump anymore, but that’s all of it. Maybe they’re thinking his electricity and power shocks is something tied to his teleportation, but they can’t know the true extent of Tommy’s “power” and he’s pretty sure that that is what’s keeping him alive.

    “You want to poke me,” he hisses, although it doesn’t sound nearly as threatening as he wants, when he’s so goddamned tired and hurt and fucking aching.
    “You want to prod me. You want to figure out my powers. Either you think I’m your new bargaining chip or your new protégé you want to torture into submission,” he spits, hitting the nail on its fucking head when Sentinel freezes in his sights. “Well I’m fucking neither. I’m Theseus, illegal fucking vigilante and two of your hostages happened to be my family.

    “And this is personal, bitch.”


    Or: Being a vigilante isn’t simple—or legal—but Tommy refuses to sit on the sidelines.
