    Summary

    Tommy has never thought of himself as particularly unlucky. He’s always had everything he needs: a place to sleep (even if it was barely big enough for two), food on the table (even if he had to skip a meal or two every once in a while), and, most importantly, his older brother.

    It’s been just the two of them for as long as Tommy can remember. When he was little, he thought Technoblade was the coolest person in the world. He still does. And as much as he argues against it when Techno calls him “kid”, Tommy doesn’t think he’ll ever stop needing him.

    As he stumbles toward their tiny apartment in the dark of night, trembling hands pressed painfully against his stomach and sticky with blood, he’s never needed his brother more.

    or

    Tommy gets hurt and hides it from his brother.

    Summary

    “Will? What time is it?"

    Wilbur takes a second to peer at his watch before turning right back to the page in front of him. “12:58.”

    Oh, wow. Tommy’s not sure exactly, but he thinks that means he’s probably gone without sleep for…somewhere in the sixties? Sixty-five hours? Sixty-six?

    He thinks he would give anything to sleep, at this point. He’d do all the chores in the tower for the rest of the week – the month, even. He’d let Wilbur put the news on whenever he wants. He’d even let them all insist that he stay home during their next family outing.

    But of course, the curse the witch placed on him doesn’t care for negotiations. He’s forced to stay wide awake, whether he likes it or not.

    ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆

    or, Tommy loses the ability to sleep. Completely. It presents a considerable amount of problems - but his family will be damned if they can't find a way to fix it.

    Summary

    Wilbur was never supposed to come back. He was supposed to leave and be done forever and ever. That’s what happens when people leave—they stay gone. Maybe it was a trick of Tommy’s mind? He moves his eye up against the peephole, sucking in a harsh breath when the brown, shaggy hair doesn’t transform into something different. When the eyes and nose that they share don’t change.

    It’s Wilbur. It’s undeniably Wilbur.

    Summary

    The woman started rocking her child, still singing a lullaby as she placed a basket down and started lowering the child inside, wrapping them up in blankets.

    Wilbur turned to see what the building was. Oh! He recognized this one. It’s the... the orphanage here.

    Oh...

    Or, Wilbur sees a woman give her child to an orphanage and then yelled,
    “5 SECOND RULE!”
    And now that child is his.

    If any CCs state they are uncomfortable with this kind of fic I will take it down!

    Summary

    Technoblade picked up the phone without pause, a motion he repeated more than eight or nine times an hour. He wouldn't say he disliked getting calls, it was a break from his grading, but he wasn't the fondest of talking to confused students.
    Techno recited his little speech into the receiver, telling the caller that they'd reached his professor's office and that they were speaking to a TA.
    Through the phone, where Techno normally expected to be told of an issue, there was shuffling. A curt clack and the ring of a bell in the distance.
    After a few moments of silence, Techno went to speak, but closed his mouth as music started to play through the phone. It was strange and uneven, shaky piano notes that sounded live, and it was no melody he had ever heard before. It was nothing more than six notes and a panicked breath before the phone began to hum as the line was cut off.
    Techno pulled the phone away from his ear.
    "What the hell?"

    Or

    Technoblade was found four years after going missing at age eight. His younger brother never was. Ten years later, Techno started getting phone calls.

    Summary

    “Tom, wait,” Phil says, fingers curling around Tommy’s arm. Tommy barely catches himself from ripping away. Phil frowns. “Kiddo. What’s going on?”

    Tommy feels Techno and Wilbur staring at him. He burns.

    “Nothing you’d care about.”

    Phil flinches.

    or, after Phil takes in Wilbur and Techno, Tommy feels unloved. He spirals.

    Summary

    You’re going to leave now, and you won’t breathe a word of this to anyone,” Siren ordered. “Do you understand?”

    “Yes,” Ranboo replied, and oh, fuck, Tommy gets it now.

    Siren. The number three villain, only ranking lower than the Angel and the Blade. A slick, cunning, annoying son of a bitch who, yippee, has the ability to compel others to do anything he wants. All things he already knew, but what Tommy hadn’t known was that apparently he was the only one not affected by it.

    It seemed Tommy was left alone and unfazed by Siren’s ability, an ability that no one should be left unfazed from, and no one ever had been, not in the history of, well, ever.

    This was probably a bad thing.

    - - -

    or, 5 times Tommy hid the fact that Wilbur's powers don't work on him, and the 1 time he had to tell the truth.

    Summary

    “He got hurt,” Tommy confesses brokenly, eyes shining. He angrily swipes the side of his hand across his cheek, but Phil has already seen the tears. “They hurt him, and– and I can’t fix it.”

    A plea shatters across his face, begging and begging.

    “You can fix him,” the fledgeling sniffles. “That’s what everyone says. Vampire blood is magic.”

    “Little one,” Phil begins softly, straining forward in his chains. He doesn’t have a heartbeat, but pity pangs so strongly inside of him that it feels like one. “I can only- I can try."

    -

    Tommy traps a vampire in order to save his brother. Phil is never one to pass up an opportunity to expand his coven - even an unusual one. (ft. vampire!phil treating an abduction as a bonding experience.)

    Summary

    Technoblade wasn’t the kind of teacher to get attached to his students. He was too busy for that sort of nonsense. Between teaching five classes a day— both sophomore and junior year English— and dealing with the emotional hell that came with teaching high schoolers, it was all he could do to remember the names of his students as they flooded in and out of his classroom each day.

    Tommy and Wilbur were different.

     

    Or, the life of English teacher Technoblade in which Wilbur's a good kid, Tommy needs help, and Technoblade is very tired. Thank God Philza Minecraft is no help at all.

    Summary

    “I’m eighteen. Legal adult.” Tommy argues. He tries to peek over Techno’s shoulder, and Techno adjusts his hold so that it’s easy to lift his chin over to look at Phil. “I could pay taxes.” 

    “Taxes don’t exist anymore.” Techno points out.

    “Thank god for that.” Wil mutters.

    Summary

    "Don't do anything to him," Tommy manages, heartbeat throbbing and throbbing. "Please."

    Wilbur frowns, but it's Techno who steps forward. "Tommy, he's not going to do anything," Techno tells him cautiously. "You don't need to worry, alright?"

    To you, Tommy would say, if he was stronger. He's not going to do anything to you.

    But he doesn't. Tommy keeps his mouth shut—whatever it takes to stay.

     

    When Techno and Wilbur Soot-Watson anger a bully, it shouldn't be an issue. They are as untouchable as they can get, for students anyway.

    It's unfortunate that Tommy, their foster brother, isn't. Being their soft spot, it only makes sense that he becomes the next target.

    Summary

    “Okay, so… why are you holding my joint?”

    Tommy glanced at the joint again before shrugging. “Weed helps anxiety, right?”

    Wilbur blinked. “Uh, usually, yeah.”

    “Alright, then.”

    Suddenly, Tommy was stuffing the joint in his hoodie pocket, and walked over to Wilbur’s closet. Next thing Wilbur knew, there was a jacket being thrown in his face, followed by the nearby thud of what he guessed was Tommy throwing his shoes at him.

    Yanking the jacket off his face, Wilbur glared at his little brother. “What is this?”

    “What do you think, dumbass?” Tommy asked, gesturing to the jacket and shoes now sitting on the floor in front of Wilbur. “We’re going out.”

    or, freshly home from university for the summer, Wilbur has a panic attack over his grades. Good thing Tommy is there to pull him out of his head.

    Summary

    "I think I want to kill myself," Tommy says, and it comes out like red-stained glass, hacked up and spit out on the carpet at their feet.

    There's a pause.

    "I think," Techno says, eyes on Phil's stunned expression, "we should go on a road trip."

    or, SBI go on a road-trip in search of healing.

    Summary

    Tommy wasn't stupid.

    He knew what his family did whenever they made excuses of overtime shifts and plans with friends.

    From the videos online, their mechanisms were the same regardless of what costumes or masks they wore. He recognised their styles of speech and the insults they threw at heroes. Beyond the voice modifiers, Tommy could tell.

    His family were villains.

    But he didn't care. Because they were his family. Even if they didn't know he knew.

    So why did they continue to lie to him?

    Summary

    "Are you alright, your Highness?"

    When Wilbur blinks, his vision focuses. Tommy is crouching in front of him, and Wilbur sucks in a deep breath.

    Now that the world is still again, Wilbur is acutely aware of the rapid pounding of his heart, the strum of panic in his veins.

    He'd almost died, he realises belatedly.

    But he hadn't. Because Tommy had saved him
    -

    Wilbur doesn't want a guard—and he plans on making sure that Tommy knows it. Unfortunately, things change when Wilbur ends up getting more attached than he means to.

    ~ft. Wilbur as a prince, Tommy as the knight protecting him, and a realisation that neither can stand to let the other get hurt.

    Summary

    Wilbur’s awake, and he wonders why Tommy’s being so obviously clingy when the teen normally strays from physical contact. Tommy doesn’t usually stick himself to Wilbur like a bug other than when he’s trying to suck up to Wilbur or if he’s sick.

    And as far as Wilbur knows, Tommy hasn’t gotten into too much trouble recently.

    Summary

    Tommy didn't have much. Even as a famous actor, he didn't have many friends or aspirations beyond whatever his agent emailed him.

    But then he met his co-star in a new royalty show and it all changed.

    He had something. A friend. Maybe even a brother.

    Yet, only a brother on screen. Only in the words recited from a script. It wasn't real when Wilbur called him his brother despite the cameras not rolling. It couldn't be.

    But he still caved into the part of him that yearned it to be true.

     

    ~ 5 times Tommy didn't think it was real + 1 time Wilbur made him believe it.
