    Summary

    The phantom’s eyes are round, no longer like the blades they so often are. There’s no predator and prey, only Tommy and Wilbur.

    Tommy’s throat chokes as he swallows another call, only prompting Wilbur to ask again.

    “What’s- what’s wrong?”

    Tommy squeezes his eyes shut and tightens his hand over his mouth, trying to stifle the next begging screech that pierces the air. He can’t stop his crowing. The unanswered pleas for love, for protection, flock, family, somebody, anybody-

    Tommy looks up.

    Wilbur.

    -•-

    Or: Tommy is molting, meaning he’s high on instincts, and being a foster kid, low on flock. Enter Wilbur, who is a little too protective over who he considers family.

    Or or: brother and dadbur instincts fluff

    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

    It feels mocking, in a way. A simple, yellow line. The tape stared back at him, and Wilbur decided that he has had too much to drink tonight.

    “Those are my cigarettes.”

    “Yes,” he confirmed again, with a nod, this time. “Your point?”

    “You stole from me,” Wilbur accused, raising an eyebrow at how casual the guy was being.

    “I also saved your life,” he countered, and Wil sneered.

    “I didn't ask you to.”

    “Right, sorry, then. Here's my apology gift,” Tommy handed him a big object. Wilbur took it, and very quickly realized that it was a guitar. His guitar.

    “And this is... my guitar.”

    Or,

    Afraid of unkept promises and drowning in memories of what used to be, Wilbur Soot tries dying. Instead, he finally finds a light at the end of his tunnel. Met at the Jubilee Line, and parted ways at the same place, Wilbur and Tommy were brothers.

    Summary

    If not for Alex Quackity's nosy landlord, Dream would have been sitting in the rocking chair in his living room as the broadcast came in.

    Instead, he sits in an uncomfortable plastic chair with metal framework that digs into his side, you know the kind. Across the room is a television set, tuned to the local news station. Seeing the day's doom and gloom makes Dream feel a tiny bit less anxious.

    This simply will not do.

    :)
