    Summary

    Whisper blinked, dumbfounded. “Nix what—”

    “Tommy! Tommy, can you hear me?” She scooped up the body and Whisper finally got a decent look at him.

    He was young, too young to be passed out alone in a rainy alley. His blonde hair was darkened by water and streaks that must have been blood if his batter face was anything to go by. His skin was pale and his body trembled slightly, even in unconsciousness.

    Whisper moved side by side with his partner, pulling out first aid supplies and searching for major injuries. “You know this kid?” he asked.

    --- or ---

    What do you get when one of the city's most famous vigilantes is actually a sixteen-year-old with the opposite of flashy powers and severe trust issues? A tragedy in the making, that's what.

    Summary

    Tommy's thoughts were interrupted by a deafening scream, and looked up to see a tall man with brown hair--holding a fucking guitar case of all things, staring at him with wide eyes. There was a loud thump.

    “Who the hell are you!” The man asked in a high pitched yell. Tommy stepped forward and opened his mouth to answer in a threat, but stopped when he felt something under his foot. He had stepped on a knife… a knife? Oh fuck, the knife fell out of his wound. Oh god he was bleeding all over the place. So much blood, there was so much blood.
     
    Tommy looked up again at the shocked man.

    “Fuck.” was all he could say before he passed out.

    Or: Techno and Tommy are being hunted, Wilbur's looking for his brother, and Phil just wants to retire.
    Or: A SBI Witchlands AU but you don’t need to know anything about the witchlands beforehand.

    Summary

    “One large cheese, one large meat lover and one large vegorama, for, uh, es-bee-eye” Tommy reads in a monotone voice, from the receipt, as he holds the pizzas out to the hero in front of him.

    “Who are you, and how did you find us?” The Blade deadpans, sword still up to Tommy’s throat.

    “Pizza Hut. Someone ordered pizza.”

    TommyInnit gets a job in a city run by heroes. He just wants to deliver pizza, but he really needs a break.

    Summary

    Tommy shakes his head, looking at anywhere else in the room other than Phil. His head flicks around as though he’s already planning an escape as he speaks.

    “I can’t tell you who it is but I need you to tutor me, so I can tutor them.” Tommy meets Phil’s eyes for a second before they nervously dart away and stay firmly connected to the whiteboard behind Phil.

    Tommy swallows hard. “Please, Mr Watson?”

    It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that there is no friend.

    Summary

    “My gold.” Techno spoke, thousands of voices echoing in his words. Whispering and chattering. His calloused hand reaching up, dragging along the blood that was dripping from Tommy’s neck. Dripping down and burning away in the flames consuming the roots that held him.

    The same hand that had fed him and given him shelter, as involuntary as it had been, was gently placed at the back of his skull. Techno’s thumb pulling across the golden earring that now felt like an anchor dragging him below the surface of a pool of magma.

    Wearing Techno’s face, the Blood God grinned at him.

    Tommy did not regret punching him.

    ***

    Td;lr: Tommy unwillingly takes refuge into the hold of a banished god.

    Summary

    And it’s… well, at first Techno thinks it's a human. He’s got rounded cheeks and a small button nose, mouth wide open and yelling. He’s waving his arms around angrily, tiny fingers clenched into a fist. But then Techno looks slightly up, and he can see the pointed, furry ears sticking out from his unruly blond hair. Techno shifts the boy to the side and he can see a tail.

    “–me go, you bitch! Fuck you! Let me go!”

    A little warrior, Techno thinks as the boy kicks and curses in his fist. Runt, his mind screams, looking at just how small the boy is in his hands.

    - - -

    Werewolf Tommy is abandoned by his pack. Vampire SBI decide to take him in (only until they find someone else to care for him. They won't get attached-right?)

    Summary

    “So, theoretically, if I were to trade my soul with you, is it possible to get money in return?”

    A drag of silence passes. The demon’s smile fades into a blank expression that could almost be called confusion.

    “...Yes…” The demon trails off. “You could, but couldn’t you go bigger than that?” It phrases the question as an offer, a chance to make the deal at least a bit complicated. Demons don’t like simplicity, it seems.

    Shame, because that’s all sleep-deprived Wilbur cares for.

    “What could be bigger than Money?” Wilbur asks, raising his eyebrows and clapping his hands together. He then winces with a curse, having forgotten about the fact his palm is still sliced open.

    Summary

    Yes. Wilbur had to bite his tongue to keep the answer from spilling out of his mouth, because yes he wanted more. Of course he wanted more. He wanted to be more than the bastard prince. He wanted to be more than a mistake his mother made before she married Tommy’s father.

    But that wasn’t the role he had been cast for in his life.

    “It doesn’t matter,” Wilbur said instead. “When Tommy turns eighteen he’ll be crowned King, and I will be his advisor. He’ll be a good king, I’ll make sure of it.”

    or, as the bastard prince of the planet of Eldingvegr, Wilbur has always known he was never meant for greatness. That was his younger brother's destiny. Wilbur's job was simply to try and make sure Tommy could fulfill that destiny.

    That becomes decidedly more difficult when the brothers are betrayed, and are forced to flee their home planet. With the Essempi Empire being one of the largest imperial powers in the universe, the only place that can offer them refuge from Emperor Dream is Zephys IV—capital planet of the Antarctic Empire, ruled by the ruthless Emperor Philza.

    Summary

    "Let’s raincheck all of that. I’m so sorry Big Dubs, but I’ve got a giant, super important science project I’ve got to bullshit in the next twelve hours,” Tommy starts running around the house, hastily shrugging on a coat and grabbing his backpack, “If you called ahead I could’ve warned ya. Sorry man.”

    “It’s- it’s okay,” Techno grits out.

    His perfect planning, thwarted by a school project.

    Tommy freezes, and quietly asks, “Wilbur, you won’t… leave again, right?”

    Techno has spent the past days dedicated to perfecting his hunt, his record full of successes. He can't fail here, he's an apex predator not swayed by emotions or impulses.

    “You’re not getting rid of me that easily," he smiles viciously.

    //

    Or, Techno is a monster who pretends to be Tommy’s brother so he can trick the kid into being his next meal. Somehow, he ends up caring for Tommy instead.

    Summary

    As an English major, there are two things you know without having to be taught. One, money is tight. Thanks, capitalism. Two, books deserve to be, if not held in pristine condition, at least treated with an ounce of respect. An ounce. That’s all Techno asks.
    This boy—brown eyes narrowing as a piece of onion tumbles to the book’s pages, as if it’s the literature’s fault and not his own—won’t even give it that.

    Or, the sbi college au where Techno argues the value of Capital L literature and Wilbur commits book hate crimes.

    Summary

    “Y’know, you’re so smart that I wouldn’t be surprised if you were actually a human,” he commented offhandedly, looking at the horizon with no particular thoughts in mind.

    He doesn’t notice the cat freezing. After a few minutes, with no leash getting tugged, the man glances at him with a questioning look. The cat still stares.

    “What? You’re not human, are you?”

    The cat scoffs, looking away.

    Wilbur shrugs. Nothing strange, just a new normal day.

    (Tommy, mentally, screams at how dumbasses humans are).

    Techno has what is considered a normal life: he gets up, showers, has breakfast, brushes his teeth, goes to college, tutors, works, comes back home and goes to sleep. Well, it’s not exactly like that, but it’s close enough and shorter than the actual thing. In just two words: it's boring.

    It starts to be not so boring when an orange ball invades his life - and house.

    Summary

    “I was a vigilante before I was Bloodlust, y’know,” he starts carefully, watching Tommy nod even quicker. “I know how it can be.”

    Revered by those protected by you; reviled by those in fear of you, sing the voices. They worshipped you like a god and when the time came, they crucified you like one.

    “What I’m sayin’ is, if you happen to get yourself into more trouble than you can handle, I would probably not kick you out if you came knockin’ on my window again.”

    Tommy’s eyes are saucers: two spiral galaxies brimming with infinite wonder and light.

    “For real?” he asks, as suspicious as he is breathless with wonder.

    “For real,” Techno echoes dryly back, grinning faintly as he stands. “I’ll come up with a way for you to return the favor.”

    ~ or, the only thing worse than having to patch up the vigilante that crash-landed through your window at three AM is getting attached to him.

    Summary

    Homecoming AU.

    Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.

    So he leaves.

    Simple.

    Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.

    And that’s when things get complicated.

    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

    Again, Tommy knew he shouldn’t care. But he knew he’d never be able to live with himself if he did what Wilbur asked. This guy deserved a chance to live, even if he was undead. His chance at a normal human life had been stolen, and while Tommy couldn’t explain why, he felt like he had to make that up to him.

    “Just… let me try to find you a blood source that doesn’t involve hurting people,” Tommy said, squeezing his shoulders. “Once we get that worked out, and you don’t have to worry about feeding, we can figure out where to go from there.”

    The frustration slowly leaked out of Wilbur’s face, until the only thing left in the lines of his forehead was exhaustion. Not physical exhaustion, but something more. Something deeper.

    “You’re the worst fucking vampire hunter I’ve ever met.”

    aka the fic where Tommy's google search history is probably 'what do I do when the vampire I'm trying to kill is depressed as hell and I feel too bad to actually kill him?'

    (turns out the answer is 'make him your roommate and have a found family arc together')

    Summary

    Takashi Shirogane is raised in a noble lineage of monster hunters, tasked with protecting humanity from things that would prey on them. He’s always believed in upholding justice, and protecting the innocent. But after a chance encounter with one of the creatures he hunts, he realizes many of those so-called ‘monsters’ are innocent too, and the cause he serves isn’t as noble as he’d been led to believe.

    So he runs. And he hides. And slowly but surely, he comes to learn more about the cryptid world, and finds another family of his own making. He protects those who need it, and he earns his own redemption.

    And all the while, something dark lurks in the city he calls home, whispered of in shadows, threatening the people he’s sworn to protect. Something called Galra.

    Summary

    Everybody knew about the tiny apartment on the East End of L'manberg, hiding in a far corner of the lower districts.

    A place everyone was welcome, regardless of their given title.
    Where villains could come for medical treatment.
    Where mafia goons and bosses could rest without the need to look over their shoulders.
    Where vigilantes and heroes could have a nice chat over tea.
    Where treatment (and treats) were given out freely.

    Where societal tags (and their due expectations) were shot and murdered at the front door.
    And if you ignored this rule, you too were shot and murdered at the front door.
    By whom was a gamble.

    Everybody knew about the tiny apartment on the East End of L'manberg.

    Everybody also knew that if you touched any of the occupants, well...
    You'd have the entirety of super-powered society (underground and otherwise) gunning for your head.

    Tommy Innit, the owner of said apartment, lived quite the interesting life.
    Seriously, he just wanted to bake cookies, what just happened?

    OR
    5 times Tommy dropped everything to help everyone else, and 1 time they dropped everything to help him.
