    Summary

    Wilbur Soot, wizard and conman by trade, makes his life out of boardinghouses and the pockets of strangers at galas he hasn’t been invited to. He doesn’t keep still, he doesn’t remain attached, and it’s a rare occasion that he remembers to contact his father for anything beyond shopping lists of spell components. It’s a lifestyle he’s completely happy with.

    Until mysteriously swapped packages leaves his soul — and those of nearly everyone he knows — suddenly and irrevocably bound to stolen baby dragons, sweeping them all up in a bitter struggle for power over the lands they call home and forcing Wilbur back to roost with Phil and Missa. Wilbur truly just wants Tallulah to be able to live and play music in peace, but with the secrets she seems to be keeping from him, the stranger reaching for the revivification spells Phil and Missa have wound from nothing, and crown prince Quackity’s attention on Wilbur and his daughter both, he may have to put everything he believes about himself and his family on the line to achieve it.

    (For the 2023 MCYTblr AU Fest. Title from the FFXIV track of the same name.)

    Summary

    Cellbit quickly cuts him off, “What’s your name, if you don’t mind me asking? I feel like it’s only fair, since you apparently know so much about me.”

    The guy schools his expression into something more neutral, but Cellbit can tell he’s just dying to be rude- he probably would’ve already had some sort of smart ass response if they weren’t currently in a classroom surrounded by other parents. Instead, the man responds, “My name’s Roier. My son’s name is Bobby, in case you were wondering that, too.”

    Cellbit definitely was wondering, so he can tell Richarlyson which kid to stay away from.

    ---

    Or: When Cellbit overhears another dad criticizing his son during a little league game, he promises to never interact with that asshole or his son ever again. Too bad Richarlyson doesn't feel the same, since said asshole's son ends up becoming his best friend. (Enemies-to-Lovers!AU)

    Summary

    Cellbit is a monster hunter.

    That is to say: he is a conspiracy theorist trying to prove the existence of the supernatural. His current project is as such: werewolves. Werewolves are in the woods, and nobody cares except for him... and except for this one guy he met at his book club one week.

    Turns out this Roier guy knows a lot about the supernatural, too. He says that he's a werewolf expert, and who is Cellbit to look a gift wolf in the mouth?

    Or: Anti-Twilight werewolf romcom starring an ex-convict and a guy who definitely isn't a furry.

    Summary

    Grief is a funny thing. The heavy, tangled up knot that you don't remember swallowing. Something dark and bitter that climbs back up your throat every so often just to remind you that it's there. Some people got good at biting it back. Some people got to wash it down with lemonade and laughter and friends to fall back on. Some even learned how to let it come. To let the knot past their lips and untie it. Some people were only passing companions with grief, but others were worse.

    Quackity and Charlie were worse.

    Over a year since his daughter died and Quackity was regretting his career choices. All the bitterness he brought with him to school now. All the misdirected anger towards parents; mornings drowning the smell of alcohol in gum and cologne. He was a sorry sight, as was Charlie. Charlie, who was living in Quackity's basement because he couldn't face his husband (or himself). Charlie, who hadn't managed a job since paying for their kids' funerals. Charlie, who was probably going to kill himself one of these days if they weren't careful. So, yeah. Some people were worse.

    Enter a new school year, hot parents, and a very determined husband trying to teach these two that grief doesn't have to be forever.

    Summary

    When your entire family is comprised of famous detectives and investigators, it's only natural to want to join the business and prove yourself as fast as possible. At least, that the mindset Tommy has. But he's stuck in boarding school alongside Tubbo and Ranboo, whilst Wilbur, Techno and Phil wander about England solving mysteries.

    He doesn't expect the very same investigation Wilbur and Techno have been hired to work on to come to him, much less to overhear vital information that could change the course of the investigation. So he does the only rational thing he can think of: Sneak out of his school to travel to London and tell his brothers about it himself, and perhaps do some investigating of his own along the way.

    But as he learns the depth to the situation, Tommy finds he can't let this go. He must solve this case, whether his family likes it or not.

    Summary

    Tommy's called Blindspot for a reason. He’s not invisible, as he’s reminded Dream time and time again - people can definitely see him. They just don’t notice. He blends into plain sight, totally diverting all attention like water off of a duck.

    Usually, anyway. Orpheus, however, stiffens a little as Tommy draws nearer. He starts glancing around, as if struck by sudden paranoia. Tommy draws up in front of him, staff clenched in one hand, and Orpheus starts turning as if to check behind him.

    “What’s that,” Orpheus mutters. “Who’s there-“

    Tommy pulls his staff back and slams it into Orpheus’s stomach, hard.

    Orpheus stumbles. He wheezes, choking, and then looks up at Tommy and fixes him with a burning stare.

    “Who the fuck are you,” Orpheus says, eyes wild and oddly delighted. “Where were you hiding?”

    __

    Suspected of betraying the Hero Guild, Apprentice hero Tommy (A.K.A. Blindspot) is put under Security Protocol Catbag: a locked-on noise cancelling mask equipped with truth gas. His mentor, Dream, calls it a necessary teaching tool.

    Meanwhile, SBI wants to know why their least favorite loudmouth little Hero has suddenly stopped talking.

    Summary

    It wasn't the fire that killed Tommy, nor was it Dream - hell, it wasn't even his name in the newspaper spreading across his hometown like the same wildfire that he set with his own hands.

    None of these things won; Tommy wouldn't let them give him a merciful end.

    No, what killed Tommy was a boy in a bathtub with the thought of a "fresh start" on his mind. He died under the spray of a frigid shower, and he woke up the next day with a train ticket in his hand.

    Summary

    “And everyone is so old,” Tubbo complains. Somehow, without them knowing about it, Tubbo’s managed to swipe a waffle and is chewing on it happily. Sapnap stifles a laugh. “Well, not everyone, I guess- the kid in our room is our age, I think. He might be younger.”

    Wilbur perks up. “Does he ice skate?”

    “Yeah, he does. He’s got these sick skates and everything.” Tubbo explains. “He’s quiet though. We tried talking to him, but…”

    “But?”

    Tubbo shrugs. "He's quiet. He doesn't talk much. I guess he's busy."

    or, Tommy's made it to the Olympics for figure skating- he's the youngest contestant on the ice and he's the favor for the gold. He's supposed to be living the dream. So why is he still so unhappy? And why do all these hockey players and snowboarders care so much about him?

    Summary

    “W-What do you- I mean can I- are you here to rob us?” The person managed to stammer out.

    Siren snorted. “No. I’m just here to order some food.”

    “Wh-What about him?” The cashier asked, glancing at Tommy. “Did you- did you kidnap him?”

    “I mean… yeah, let’s go with that in case this ends up on the news,” Siren shrugged, looking back at Tommy. “I kidnapped you, right?”

    “Yeah, sure,” Tommy agreed, knowing that if they said he was kidnapped, it would keep people from getting suspicious of why he was seen in public with Siren. “Anyway, can I get the chicken nuggets happy meal, with a coke?”

    or, how Tommy—who is not a hero, or a villain, or even a vigilante—saves the life of one of L'Manberg's most feared supervillains, and accidentally ends up becoming the resident doctor for every supervillain in town (and maybe gets a family along the way too).

    Summary

    AUTHOR NOTE: This fic has been discontinued mid-rewrite. Chapters 1-15 exclude Wilbur as a character. Beyond that point is unwritten.
    ---------

    This wasn’t happening, was it?

    Tommy stutters, his tongue suddenly turning to rubber and stares at the man, one of the world's top villains, in his passenger's seat. “I—”

    “One moment.” The Angel holds up a finger, popping the door open and looking towards the back of Tommy’s car. He cups a hand to his face. “Boys, get in this fucking car or I’m leaving you behind!”

    Tommy twists in his seat, head snapping back to look out his back window and watches as three more men (holy shit, is that the Blade?) come darting towards his car.
    Oh god, no.

    Summary

    The royal family of Antarctic empire isn’t exactly close.

    Emperor Philza is always occupied; Tommy hasn’t seen Techno in months, and even if Wilbur is here, their relationship can be described to be strained at best.

    The royal family doesn’t need to be close, however, it only needs to be balanced, like the pillars holding the country above their heads – as long as they are strong and steady, the Empire will be too. It’s the principle that held Tommy’s back straight and his shoulders broad through the years of hardships and trials of errors; through yet another formal meeting where his father’s gaze would look past him and where his brother’s words would be filled with poison that makes the deepest parts of his soul ache.

    At that time, Tommy couldn't know that his family would find a replacement for him in the face of a commoner boy named Ranboo.

    ~🦋~

    Tommy's family has replaced him. It's only fair that he gets to do the same.

    Summary

    “Dianthus?” Tempest whispers again, a bit stronger now. “Step away from the edge.”

    Tommy wants to laugh. How far has he fallen in order to be talked down by a hero? A hero who had hated his guts less than two months ago at that. He stares upon the grey city, a place that could never be his home, and sighs. “I’m not going to jump.”

    “Then step away.”

    Tommy doesn’t move.

    or:

    Tommy is a fifteen year old ex-villain, determined to continue his path as a vigilante and ignore his past. However, not even he can run from the most notorious villain of the Underground.

    or or:

    Tommy has flower powers and works at a coffeeshop while healing from past trauma. That's it that's the fic.
