    Summary

    “Yes, thank you Dream,” Phil says, pulling out his sword, letting it hang loosely in his hand as Techno holds onto Tommy’s arm, tugging the teen even more, to the point where Tommy thinks he might bump into Techno. “However, as of now, Tommy is under the protection of the Antarctic Empire.”

    Dream shakes his head, laughing. “You can’t do that.” And as he walks forward to get closer, Phil points his sword right at Dream’s face.

    “Yes, we can.” Phil responds, and Dream takes a step back when the edge of Phil’s sword pokes against his mask.

    Summary

    Tommy wasn’t sure what he had been anticipating when he broke into Techno’s house. Maybe he was expecting his brother to kill him on sight, lodging a crossbow arrow straight between his eyes. Maybe he was expecting to be dragged back to exile, cursing and screaming the whole way. Mostly, he was just hoping that Techno wouldn't be home. Tommy had a half-baked plan to hide out in the piglin’s basement, squirreling away gapples and supplies until he could figure out something better.

    He hadn’t even considered that Techno could be hibernating.

    Or: Tommy has just escaped exile. What better place to hide than the house of his hibernating older brother?

    Summary

    Tommy knew the rules of the Fae. Even without anyone to teach him, those lessons trickled down to the muddy streets he called his home.

    He’d lived in this village for as long as he could remember, sleeping under porches and stealing to survive. His whole life he’d been running, from shopkeepers and soldiers and everyone else who saw a twelve year old boy and thought first of a target.

    “Hey!”

    Tommy bolted. A rotting apple was clutched close to his chest as he ran, legs pumping as he fled to the only place he knew he wouldn’t be followed.

    The forest had a reputation for housing Fair Folk and other such beasts. Parents warned their children against entering the forest, but Tommy had none to do so. He wasn’t stupid— he knew the risks he faced in the forest— but he’d rather brave the potential threats there than the very real danger at his heels.

    Street-kid Tommy finds a family in another world.

    Summary

    It's not his fault that he can't trust the three. Not after everything that's happened between them, not when he knows they owe nothing to him. But he refuses to let them give him up, so he runs and he avoids them.

    But Tommy doesn't realize that just because they owe him nothing doesn't mean they don't care, so again it's not his fault when they show up in Sapnap's house ready to take him back with them now is it?

    Summary

    "No buts. Who swung first?"

    "Well, he did, but it's only because-"

    "Shush," Wilbur says, pulling Tommy into a hug. "It's okay to admit you're hurt, Tommy."

    The energy seeps away from Tommy and he melts into his brother’s gentle hold. "I'm not a little baby,” He mumbles into Wilbur’s chest.

    "No, you're not," Wilbur agrees. "But it's okay to be a needy kid every once in a while. You're only 14," The brunette reminds, starting to massage the back of Tommy’s head.

    or

    Tommy really needs a hug, but he doesn't know how to break it to his friends or family without sounding pathetic. His older brother is there to help.

    Author was given a prompt and decided to go wild.

    Summary

    "i didn't need your help," tommy says, even though he did. even though he does. "i can fend for myse--"

    "that doesn't matter," the piglin interrupts, voice dipping into something rougher, "what matters is that someone is messing with one of my things." tommy suddenly remembers that piglins- specifically brutes, like techno, who grew up protecting bastions- are territorial creatures. they protect their gold, their weapons, their chests.

    (their runts.)

    "sunshine," techno croons when tommy's been quiet for too long, "you would come to me if someone's hurting you, right?"


    or, 5 times tommy indulged people's hybrid instincts + 1 time someone indulged his instincts, instead.

    Summary

    The man pauses, eerie stare piercing through him. Even through the mask, Tommy can tell he’s grinning. “You’re… more than what you used to be, Theseus. We’re simply having some harmless fun, it wouldn’t do to get in trouble now.”

    And Tommy hates him, anger harsh and biting, mouth twisting as he holds back the bitter vitriol from spilling out of him. Your safety comes first, he can hear the echo of Techno’s steady voice. Know your priorities. “They’ll kill you.”

    Dream laughs, high-pitched and cruel. “I don’t doubt it.”

    Summary

    A new link, a new connection, a constant tug in the back of his head—it feels so much more than it does with the other two, like it’s somehow more important. Clearer, vivid.
    A soulmate, just for you, Phil says. Just like I’m Techno’s.
    A pair, a duo.
    Wilbur can’t wait to meet them.

    *****

    Wilbur is determined to find out exactly why Tommy was so scared of him, of soulmates—and this determination only gets worse after a rather nasty encounter with the boy's mother.

    wilbur scoffs, adding on, "and we thought tubbo was a pushover. you just let anyone do anything to you with no consequences, huh?"

    Summary

    “What the hell are you doing?” Quackity practically shouts in Tommy’s face, unmoved by the raw desperation in the boy’s expression.

    “Please,” Tommy begs, even as Quackity continues to fight him. “Please, just- please, Quackity.”

    “He destroyed everything,” Quackity roars.

    Tommy feels like he’s going to shake apart, terror clawing up his throat. “He’s my brother,” Tommy pleads, almost too quiet to hear.

    Quackity pulls harder, but Tommy hangs on. “He’s a monster,” he spits.

    “He’s my brother,” Tommy says again. It is unmovable and he sees the moment Quackity realizes that.

    Summary

    "Did you miss me so much you had to come back to visit?"

    Tommy scowled, shoving trembling hands into his pockets. "Fuck you," he shot back unevenly.

    "What are you doing back so soon?" Wilbur asked curiously. "Revival not work out too well for you?"

    Stiffly. "Dream killed me."

    "Again?" Wilbur looked away from Tommy dismissively, shuffling his cards. "I mean, we've all had the urge, but you'd figure once would be enough."

    +++

    Dream wants to study death. He has the perfect opportunity to do so with the prison in lockdown. Wilbur bears witness.

    Summary

    “Oh." Blue eyes pummel his own first with fear, then confusion. It takes a moment to register that ‘oh, the Angel of Death is talking to me’. But then the man takes a shuddering breath, gaze unfocusing as he slumps against the wall, wings drooping. "Hello.”

    “Oh, fuck—!” Tommy doesn’t think before he darts forward to catch him.

    ---

    Tommy's doing his best for a sixteen-year-old living pay check to pay check, alright? But life gets a little boring. He'd take boring over getting dragged into the Syndicates business, though.

    Especially after he saved one of their lives.

    Summary

    “Hello…” Someone whispers from behind him, frigid hands grabbing onto Dream’s shoulders. The cold seems to become even worse, a chill sinking into Dream’s very bones, the skin around his shoulders and neck feeling like ice. “You have something of mine.” 

    Dream’s breath stutters out in something like fear, and he turns his head, comes face to face with a dead man smiling down at him, hovering in the air. 

    A ghost. 

    (In which Dream kidnaps Tommy from Techno's base to take him back to exile. Techno and Ghostbur retrieve Tommy. Ghostbur is a little violent about it, tbh.)

    Summary

    Humans were… humans were cruel.

    Most times, they were mean and they had weird smelling homes and odd practices and he hated them and they hated him in return with equal vigor.

    Tommy's very tired of being a monster; he doesn't want to be one anymore.

    All he wants to be, instead, is loved.

    ***

    Being in the foster system is hard enough but being a werewolf in it is even harder. Who wants a kid who's a beast, a moon child, a lie?

    Tommy is sick of wondering. He's sick of wanting a pack, wanting a family so why is it—when he finally gives up—there comes along a family who threatens to tear down all his walls? Who he wants to slip past them and hold him?

    It doesn't seem fair.

    Summary

    "–my? Tommy! Please, I’m sorry!"

    Wilbur?

    No, that’s silly. Why would Wilbur be looking for him after what he did? After what he said?

    "Tommy, please!"

    It sure sounds a lot like Wilbur. Tommy pries his eyes open, squinting through the snow and blinking at the lanky figure not far off in the distance. His movement seems to attract its attention, because it starts to move towards him, slowly and then picking up until it runs full-tilt at him.

    "Tommy!"

    Oh. It is Wilbur.

    Or,

    Tommy runs away from home in the middle of a snowstorm, is brought home by a very brother-shaped siren, and is surprised to learn that his family actually wants him.

    Summary

    Tommy cackles as the wagon skids into the town.

    “RANBOO!” he shouts, and throws himself forward. “CATCH ME!”

    “Tommy, no,” Ranboo says frantically, “I’m holding cooki—”

    He throws the tray to the side to catch Tommy, bridal-style. Tommy cackles. Ranboo sighs.

    “Hi,” he grumbles. “That was a perfectly good batch of cookies.”
