    Summary

    Chess, Wilbur says, is a game of war.

    Chess, Schlatt says, is a game for power-trip-chasing losers who didn’t have enough friends growing up.

    L’Manberg’s president spends his evenings holed up in his office playing board games with a couple of ghosts as the country rips itself to ruin outside. Schlatt might think himself a loser, but Tubbo is unconvinced.

    -

    Being president is hard. Being president is even harder when your country was utterly destroyed by the two previous presidents. Spending every night playing games of chess with them isn't helping Tubbo much.

    Summary

    “There’s a lot you don’t understand, Tubbo,” Dream sighs, meeting his eyes cooly. Tubbo, back against a tree, shudders at his tone, at the look on his face.

     

    The sword at his neck skims across his skin as Dream shifts his grip on it, and he flinches back into the rough bark behind him. Dream smiles at his reaction, seeming pleased- like the cat that’s been toying with a mouse that always tries to run no matter how many times it’s caught. And, despite this being his first encounter alone with the man, he thinks that the comparison is fairly accurate; Tubbo has never felt smaller than he does now. There’s supposed to be a buddy system to prevent things like this- he shouldn’t be alone here, stuck in this situation.

    Or: Tubbo becomes a traitor to save everyone and has to struggle with his choices

    Summary

    They never buried Wilbur's body.

    And Tommy never stopped to think about the fact that it’s still there — left to rot in the stupid fucking button room.

    Now he thinks he should have, because holy fuck, everything has been blown to shit.

    .

    Or: Tommy is the worst-equipped person to deal with grief.

    Some things help, for example: attending funerals just to be nice, "some muh'fuckin' introspection", being a better person than Mr Manhunt himself in every way possible, Tubbo, and using excessive humour to cope with his crushing emotions.

    Wait, that last one shouldn't be there.

    Summary

    Well. This was unexpected.
    Tommy had thrown himself from the tower hoping to sink into death peacefully, floating away into the afterlife or coming back as a ghost that remembered only happy things.
    He was not expecting the six black legs tucked beneath his body. Or the tiny wings he felt moving against his back. And what was that buzzing noise?

    Or,

    In which Tommy dies and is reincarnated as a bee. He decides to follow Tubbo around, because of course.

    Summary

    "Promise me that. Promise me, Tubbo. Promise me that we'll always have each other, no matter what. Okay? Promise me that." Tubbo smiles up at him, reaching out to plant a hand down on his shoulder, squeezing a second later. 

    "I promise that we'll always have each other, Tommy. I promise."
