"Techno?"
"Yeah Tommy?"
"What does the sky look like?"
Techno paused, the question, like most of Tommy's questions made his heart ache for reasons he didn't understand.
"I'll show it to you one day" he doesn't know why he says that, he knows by now not to make promises he doesn't know he can keep.
"Really?"
"I promise" and he swears to himself he'll find a way to keep it.
***
Or Techno is a hero on a mission that quickly gets derailed when he meets Tommy, a boy who's spent his whole life locked in one room with only Dream, the biggest villain of the century, for company.

Summary
Tommy was handed a small flyer in printed in black and white, with the words “POETRY NIGHT - OPEN MIC” splayed across the front in bubbled font. He fumbled with his binder as he took it, eyes wide as he said, “are you sure? I mean, I love poetry and all, but I don’t think-I’m not sure—what if I can’t write poetry?”
Mr. Sam’s dark eyes softened, and he reached out to place a hand on Tommy’s shoulder, squeezing it gently. “Everyone has to start somewhere; every poet, from me to Rudy Francisco, started off without knowing a clue about what we were doing. Tommy, it’s not about if you can or cannot write poetry, it’s about if you want to.”

Summary
"Please, Tubbo?" He begs. "For an old friend!"
Tubbo stares. "We've known each other four months, tops."
Alright, then. Tommy's acting skills are needed once more. "What're you talking about?" Tommy asks, head tilting to the side slightly.
Eyebrows furrowed, eyes forcibly confused. "We've– you think we only met four months ago?"
"I– yeah?" Tubbo says, equally as confused. There's a quiet 'thud' from upstairs. Tommy coughs loudly to cover it. Tubbo doesn't seem to notice, continuing, "You moved here four months ago."
"Well, yeah, but that's not the first time we met," Tommy says, smiling, like it's obvious. He makes his smile falter when Tubbo doesn't agree. "The sunflower field? You don't remember?" Tubbo just keeps staring at him, lost. Tommy makes his voice sad, "You genuinely don't remember? I thought..." he trails off.

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
In the long list of rules that Dream gave him, there were four that stuck out as the most important. Four rules that he could never break.
Stick close to the island when swimming. Always be back before seven. Never complain or hesitate to give Dream his pelt. And never, ever interact with humans.
Tommy didn’t break any of those rules often, and if he did it was a one time thing, a mistake. But this wasn’t a mistake. This was a very deliberate, very stupid move on his part and Dream would kill him if he knew what Tommy was doing. Fifteen years Tommy had lived here, and never once had he intentionally broken one of Dream’s rules. Until now.
He swims closer to the three humans.
.
Tommy's a selkie living isolated on an island with Dream as his caretaker. Wilbur, Techno, and Phil are the new lighthouse keepers next door. Surely there's no way for this to go wrong. -

Summary
“Let’s not do this here,” Technoblade said, looking around at the gravestones that surrounded them both.
Tommy wanted to scoff. “Well, c’mon then. You came to pay your respects, pay them, then leave.”
“Theseus,” Technoblade repeated, and it sounded almost like a plea.
“What?” Tommy snapped, keeping his eyes pointed away from Techno’s.
“You can’t just avoid this.”
“Watch me.”
Technoblade sighed, rubbing a hand over his face in exasperation. “Come to my place, we’ll talk.”
Tommy sat back down next to the headstone, braiding the dandelions growing in front of it into a little crown. Techno and him used to make flower crowns. Wilbur too. They would sit under the willow tree next to their house, leaning against the rough bark and spending hours just sitting together, weaving flowers into a circle. Tommy misses those days.
Or:
It's been five years since their mother's death, and two since Technoblade left Tommy without warning. On the anniversary of her death, the two brothers meet once again in a graveyard.
Cuddles ensue.

Summary
Tommy has never handled storms well.
When he was a child, before Phil found him, he’d huddle between the houses in villages in an attempt to stay dry. It was better, of course, after Phil took him in. He wasn’t wet or hungry or sick anymore, but he’d always been embarrassed of the way the crack of lightning made his breath catch in his throat. Luckily, it never rained in L’manberg. It’s one of the reasons he’d loved it so much. It never rained, no matter who lived and who died, who won and who lost.
And then, Tommy had been exiled, and for the first time in months, Tommy saw rain.
He looks up into the vast expanse of the sky, raindrops dripping down his cheeks and into his ears, and thinks, you’re just as sad as I am, aren’t you?
As pathetic as it is, he sees the sky as a friend of sorts, then.
You see, he could scream his pain into the sky as loud as he wanted, and the sky would keep his secrets till the end of time.
(or, tommy is not okay, physically or mentally.
techno and phil try their best to help him heal.)
