    Summary

    “It wasn’t a trick of the light,” Techno murmured, his eyes wide as the glowing got brighter.

    Wilbur’s heart pounded in his chest as he looked down at himself, and realized the freckles dotted along his arms had started to glow. When he made the effort to see the outline of his nose, he noticed that the freckles on his face were glowing as well.

    “Was he doing this last night?” Phil asked, unable to tear his eyes away from Wilbur’s face.

    “Uh, no, he definitely wasn’t,” Techno told him.

    “Holy shit, I get it now,” Tommy whispered, and Wilbur could just make out the outline of his glowing face in the reflection of Tommy’s eyes. “You’re an alien!”

    or, Wilbur wakes up in a ditch with two brothers shining a flashlight on his face, and no memories of who he is or how he got there. And that's only the start of the weird shit.

    Summary

    “Didn’t someone say that humans used to have four arms, in some myth?”

    There was a subtle shift in Technoblade’s shoulders, strained and slightly too high to be relaxed.

    “Uh, no. Popularised misconception. It’s an anecdote from one of Plato’s symposiums, not actual myth.” Technoblade corrected, not even turning his head. “What brought that question on?”

    There were a thousand other questions he wanted to throw back at him.

    Why are you here. What are you doing. What are you planning.

    Why the fuck are you out of prison.

    ***

    Or: Tommy gets an unexpected visitor, who at the very least makes him breakfast (that might be a part of the problem).

    Summary

    “Listen, Shade,” The Blade said, “I didn’t come here just to make fun of you, although you are kinda pathetic—” A snarl, which the hero ignored. “—I’m here to give you a choice.”

    A choice. A choice, when he had been beaten bloody, captured, and shoved into a cell under the Administration Headquarters, after the heroes had probably been boasting about finally catching the dangerous vigilante Shade, after—

    Tommy didn’t have a choice, anymore.

    “We can lock you into Pandora’s Box and let The Warden take care of you. ” A pause, as he let the message sink in. “Or,” The Blade continued, “Or you could give in. Take off the mask. Stop working on the other side of the law. You’re powerful, Theseus, I’ll admit it. You’re a valuable asset, whether you know it or not, and I’d hate to see so much potential sent to rot.”

    // In which Tommy is a blind warden hybrid vigilante, and SBI are the heroes that finally catch him. It goes as well as you might expect.

    Summary

    “Have you ever considered working as an au pair?” Wilbur asked.

    Techno frowned, once again thrown off by the vampire’s archaic choice of words. “You mean, going to live with a coven?”

    “As our permanent, exclusive food source, yes.”

    ---

    Techno is a human who needs a place to live. Phil, Wilbur and Tommy are vampires who need blood to survive. Two problems are fixed with a single solution.

    Though perhaps Techno should have thought twice about the consequences of entangling his life with three powerful immortals.

    Summary

    “Tommy, close your eyes,” Technoblade commanded.
    “Why-”
    “Do it,” he said firmly. His knuckles turned white from how hard he was gripping the iron bars, “Fenik,” he said, and the iron tore apart in front of him, the shackles on his wrists shattered and fell to the ground.
    The guard stumbled back, “Don’t come any closer or I’ll-”
    Techno didn’t let him finish the thought, “Kh’ek.”
    The guard’s body crumpled, his bones shattering out of his skin. Blood erupted from the guard, spraying all across the hallway and cell.
    “Alright,” he said, turning around, “It’s over. You can open your-”
    Tommy was staring at him with wide, very haunted, very open, eyes. A drop of blood from the spray rolled down his cheek, “What the fuck was that?” he choked out.

    ---

    In a world of gods and magic, everything has a true Name. A Name was the sound of a soul, the fabric of being. If you knew something’s Name, you held complete power over it.
    Technoblade is the greatest Namer to ever live, rumored to know the Names of everything in the world. Everything of course, but his own.

    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

    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

    "If you throw that at me," The Blood God says, "I am going to tie you up. Put it down and we can talk."
    Tommy's heart is trying to pound out of his chest. He can't win this. He knows that. But he can't just give up. This isn't like that first meeting. The Blood God is aware and conscious, not lost in the drive of his instincts. The Blood God would probably enjoy taunting Tommy if he curled up and showed his fear so blatantly.
    No, Tommy isn't going to take this lying down. He will not go gentle into that good night. His eyes narrow. He sees The Blood God tense.
    "Come and get me, motherfucker." Tommy snarls and lobs the lamp right at the hybrid's stupid face.
    \\\
    Tommy doesn't know what gods he pissed off to deserve being abducted and later hunted down by Hypixel's most well-known celebrity. But he's not going down without a fight.

    Summary

    “Congratulations to all the lucky players in this forest-- you have been chosen!” Techno cranes his head back, and past the leaves, he can see Wilbur high, high up, looking so tiny from where he’s looking down at all of them. Tommy is near him, seeming distracted with other things. “Through a complicated and thorough process that definitely wasn’t just taking people at random from their worlds, you’ve all been brought together for the sole purpose of an experiment. A social experiment. An experience, I like to call it!”

    Wilbur sounds thrilled at telling all of them this. Technoblade wishes he would fly back down so he can put his knife to good use. He didn’t sign up to be a random lab rat.

    (Or, Techno winds up in one of Wil's 100 player challenges. He's just aiming to get out alive. Wil and Tommy of course have other ideas.)

    Summary

    The guard stared at him for a moment, blue eyes blown wide behind his mask.

    It was then the Pythia looked down at the hand outstretched between them. The prosthetic was made of intricately carved metal, covered in vines and flowers twisting together with the shimmer of enchantments reflecting in the purple glow.

    And although the guard’s sleeve was covering his wrist, he knew that in the place where metal met flesh, there was a pair of dark angel wings tattooed on his skin.

    He was right. This wasn’t a real guard.

    This was a Deathling.

    or, Wilbur is an oracle known as the Pythia, chosen to receive dreams of the future from the goddess Clara. One day, he receives a dream warning him that during a ball Emperor Schlatt is hosting, the Deathlings—terrorists who worship the goddess of Death—will launch an attack. When his warning goes ignored, he knows there's going to be consequences.

    He doesn't expect one of those consequences to include him getting kidnapped by a teenager.

    Summary

    Wilbur’s heart free-falls to the depths of his stomach when Tommy is dragged into the cell.

    “Tommy!” he shouts, voice breaking over his name, body lunging forward against the chains holding him. “Tommy, no, how– how did he get you?”

    Tommy’s eyes widen when he sees him.“Wil–"

    His voice breaks with a small grunt as he's thrown onto his knees at Wilbur's feet.

    ~ after being captured by a villain, wilbur's biggest weakness is used against him. (tommy was never supposed to get involved.)

    Summary

    “Techno I thought you said-” Tommy pulled the door open and immediately stopped. Instead of ruby red eyes like he expected, it was a pair of blue that looked down at him. A pair of eyes that looked exactly like his own. His heart plummeted to his stomach as he took a step back.

    The figure in the doorway seemed in shock as well.

    “Phil?”

    “Tommy,” Phil breathed out almost reverently. Then, before the boy could blink, Phil stepped into the cabin and two arms were wrapping around him. “You’re okay.”

    Hesitantly, Tommy reached up and grabbed the back of his father’s coat. Guilt and uncertainty swirled in his stomach, rising up and churning all the emotions he had been pushing down the past few weeks. His heart begun to race. Odd, wasn’t he supposed to be happy that his father was holding him? Wasn’t there supposed to be tendrils of joy seeing Phil after weeks of staying at Technoblade’s cabin?

    Why did he only feel empty inside?

    “Tommy, I’m so happy to see-”

    “Why are you here?”

    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

    "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

    “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

    A breath ghosts over the joint between his shoulder and his neck, now exposed as the creature gently rips his tunic aside. “Do you want to protect them? Keep them safe?”

    He can protect them already. Has been for years. While he does want to, that need doesn’t run into his bones, doesn’t make his chest heavy at night, doesn’t make him shiver desperately at whatever kind words he receives.

    “Technoblade, come on, break free. Get over here.” The same hunter demands. That part of Techno that’s clawing against the vampire’s thrall latches onto the command, the tone, the voice.

    “Oh,” he breathes, and Techno feels the barest scrape of fangs over his collarbone, “Are you tired of being alone?”

    Techno’s breath hitches.

    --------

    Or, Technoblade is the best monster hunter the world's seen in years. He's got a flawless record-- with one exception. Why won't the dammed vampire just die already?

    ...And why is it talking to him?

    A small beep; fifteen seconds.

    His back tensed, ready to fly, until a voice over the intercom sparked to action.

    “Theseus; test 3572. Cross-weather training part three. ‘Catch and avoid’ task.”

    A small beep; ten seconds.

    He stood tall, observing his surroundings for any changes. As expected, one final drone was released from a hatch, right over another cloud. If he’d missed it, the drone would’ve seemed to appear from thin air.

    A smile crossed his lips. He never missed anything.

    -

    Tommy has lived in the facility as long as he can remember, never wandering or wanting to see the outside world. After a particularly wet drill, Tommy finds himself trapped in a corridor. At one end is a murderous avian hybrid, the other somehow containing an even worse fate. He is whittled down to a single decision.

    Tommy climbs into a vent.

    Summary

    Tommy Danger has no idea that he is magic.

    He doesn't realize it when he starts speaking to the West Wind. He doesn't realize when flowers bloom at his touch. He doesn't realize when the weather starts mirroring his moods. He doesn't realize anything at all.

    Until, that is, he accidentally familiar bonds with a witch.

    Now, thrown into a world he doesn't understand, with a bond he doesn't want, Tommy must learn to master his newfound magical abilities--or else.

    Because Tommy is the last familiar left.

    And he's being hunted.

    Summary

    “Don’t leave,” he chokes out. “Don’t leave me, please…”

    “Humans need rest,” Phil repeats. Then, glancing helplessly to Techno and Wilbur, stood next to him, “Right?”

    Tommy’s chest crumples in, eyes stinging.

    Both of them nod, like they know more about him than he does.

    Tommy finds, in this moment, that he loves them so much he can only hate them for it.

    Summary

    “It’s your soulmates, baby,” his mother whispered. “They’re not here yet. You’re missing them.”

    Phil knew about soulmates, of course, like he knew about dogs and flowers and the sun. He just didn’t understand how he could miss someone he’d never even met. It wasn’t fair. But, fair or not, the feeling persisted. On the good days it was like an itch he could never reach, or a limb he couldn’t fully stretch—nagging, but manageable.

    On the bad days he wanted to scream and cry and smash his fists against the walls.

    Phil is born with pieces missing—four of them, to be exact.
