    Summary

    It wasn’t that Phil was a bad dad or anything. He just chose not to be Tommy’s. Phil chose to not include him on family bonding time, fought harder for Techno or Wilbur to stay than for Tommy to. He chose to become a superhero, the Number One, in fact. And he chose to bring Wilbur and Techno along with him. Leaving Tommy, an 11-year-old, home alone most evenings and nights.
    So Tommy survived, like always. Powerless, like always.

    Summary

    The doorbell chimes cheerfully, and Wilbur draws his attention to the door.

    “That’s probably the pizza.”

    “Yeah, I’m sure it is. I’ll get it.” Wilbur plucks Techno’s wallet from the side table and crosses the space between the living room and the front door, nudging his shoes aside in favor of answering the door.

    Wilbur opens the door, creaky hinges and all, and stops. Gilded in the moth light is a boy- young and old at the same time, a golden halo dirtied and worn. His eyes are familiar- a sight he had not seen in three years time.

    Wilbur stares at his little brother, who stares right back. Then he shifts, taps a toe on the ground, and clears his throat.

    “I didn’t.. I didn’t know where else to go.”

    Three years ago Wilbur's foster brother ran away without a trace. Wilbur never quite got over it, but was forced to move on with his life, certain he'd never see him again- until Tommy reappears on his doorstep one fateful Tuesday. Healing ensues.

    OR;

    An unconventional foster fic following the failed foster system, how we affect the lives around us, healing from unresolved trauma and figuring out our place in the world.

    Summary

    Tommy has killed 36 people.

    The weapon in Tommy’s hands does not shake. It is steady, almost impossibly so, and Tommy will not miss his target. This is a fact that he knows. He knows the sun will rise, he knows the tide will leave, he knows he will hit his shot; Tommy is incapable of missing. He is perfect. It's his job to be perfect, and without this job, Tommy is nothing, so his hands are steady. He remembers the names of all 36 people. Not because he feels remorse or guilt, in all honesty, Tommy doesn't think he can feel. He remembers because no one else will. No one but him.

    James Richard. This is a name Tommy will never forget, because, at the very least, he can remember him. At the very least he can remember his name.

    He pulls the trigger.

    37. Tommy has killed 37 people.

    Or

    Tommy is a trained mercenary who hasn't heard anything other than Dream's voice for the past seventeen years of his life.

    Wilbur is worried.

    Summary

    September 20th, 2022. Xxx xxxxx police station. I’m Detective Sneeg here with Thomas Innit-Wastaken under confession of the ‘Smiley killings’.

    “So,” the other man spoke up, “Eight confirmed kills. That’s a hefty number for a seventeen year old.”
    He spoke so casually, as if he was talking about the weather, or a sports game.

    “So do you not believe me?”

    “Well, we wouldn’t be in this room if they didn’t,” the detective replied smoothly.

    “I don’t care about what the police department or whatever thinks. I’m asking if you think I’m innocent,” Tommy urged.

    There was a moment where the man thought of a reply, and then he said, “Looking at you now, I do not think you did it.”
    -
    Or, after a year and a half living with the Watson Family, convinced that he was going to be adopted, Tommy is sent back to foster care. It’s here that he’s put into a home with a man named Dream, who just so happens to be a notorious serial killer. On the run, and unsure of who to trust, Tommy will do whatever it takes to stay safe, and find a home.

    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.

    Summary

    (Inspired by @kvaughanarts on TikTok! They have incredible art, please check them out!)

    Tubbo cleared his throat and stared resolutely at the masked figure across the obsidian. “Dream, I’ve come to the decision that’ll be best for the nation… the most logical thing to do is for Tommy to be exiled from L’Manberg.”

    ---

    After being exiled, Tommy didn't think his life could get worse. His only solace in his isolation from his old friends was being able to fly in secret at night (unbeknownst to Dream, who refused to let him do much of anything fun, let alone use his wings). Tommy's wings, one of the only things he has that Dream doesn't.

    Until Dream catches him flying.

    And rips them off.

    Summary

    When Tommy was by himself, in his house, he sometimes inspected his infection. It was morbidly fascinating, this strange disease he had contracted. Sometimes he even thought it was almost beautiful.

    As mesmerized as he was, he knew it wasn’t right. People weren’t meant to have moss grow on their shoulders, or ivy crawl up their forearms, or flowers and mushrooms and leaves grow in their hair. And so he watched them grow, feeling a mix between disgusted and amazed—sublime.

    ***

    or, tommy isn’t really sick, but he’s developed a bit of a ‘problem’ after his revival, and he assumes it must be some sort of illness. he tries his best to hide the plants that now grow from his body, but he can’t hide them from everyone.

    Summary

    “There’s nothing wrong with you,” snaps Wilbur. “You’re my brother.”

    The room feels too small, too fragile to hold what he’s meant to become. Wilbur must be suffocating. Tommy squeezes his eyes shut.

    “How?” he croaks. “How can you look at me how I am now and still fucking think that?”

    He feels a hand on his head. Tommy hesitantly peers up. Wilbur is smiling.

    "Because,” his brother says quietly, brushing his blond curls away, “you haven’t changed. I loved you then. I love you now.”

    Tommy chokes on the cry wanting to escape his throat. Wilbur’s hand pauses on the side of his cheek.

    “And, I’ll love you forever.”

    It's easier to cling onto the boy they want him to be. Maybe it's time they all learned to let go.

    Summary

    The stranger was tall, was the first thing he noticed. Tubbo had to crane his neck up to look at their face at such a close range. Although, he realized quickly, it may be best to keep his eyes downward instead. They were an enderman, clearly: long legs, alien proportions, chitinous armor that’s rough and black instead of softer skin. Purple particles floated in the air around them. It was the same type of build he’d come to recognize in Ranboo.

    It was also, very clearly, not Ranboo at all. Or at least...not the one he knew.

    Summary

    After two months of art lessons, Tommy very much regretted choosing it as a GCSE.

    Not because he was bad at it or anything—no he loved drawing—but it was his teachers. It was how his school taught art. Everything about it sucked the creativity out of it. It took away his choice of expression, forced him to write coursework about overrated, dead artists and their dogshit contemporary pieces.

    But then he got a new teacher to sub into his Friday lessons.

    He didn't think someone whose last name referred to the stuff in chimneys could make him love art again. Yet, Mr Wilbur Soot did.

    Summary

    Tommy taps his fingers against his leg, thinking.

    "I don't think... I don't think I hold anything against you for that." Tommy says thoughtfully. Then he lowers his tone, speaking more quietly so that only Techno will be able to hear it. "I'm kind of glad Dream's dead."

    Techno looks at him in shock.

    "Tommy you can't just say that!"

    "Why not?" Tommy defends. "You know what he did to me. I'm allowed to be glad that he's dead!"

    "But I killed him." Techno hisses.

    (Tommy honestly isn't even all that surprised.)

    Summary

    Tommyinnit leads one of the worst double lives in history. After his parents death Tommy was quick to take care of himself, and soon his close friend as well. He became a vigilante because he was never able to have the same opportunities considering his financial condition. So as a remedy he gets a grant based internship with a highly respected corporation. The very corporation that helps with any legal work that heroes face, meaning Tommy is surrounded by the people trying to catch him for the better part of most days. His biggest issue now is for them to never find out, and to do the occasional coffee run.

    Or,

    I read a Hero fic with Tommy as a vigilante and fell in love with the idea.

    "Come sit down with me, Tommy." Sam says.

    He speaks in that serious voice, letting Tommy know that this isn't something he can get out of.

    Tommy does as told, and sits down with Sam in the empty classroom.

    Sam leans forward on his elbows. He takes a deep breath and looks Tommy in the eyes.

    "Is someone hurting you at home?"

    Tommy's entire world comes to a stop.

    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).
