    Summary

    Sam rescues Tommy from the prison, and no one knows he's died. Everything is too loud, too bright, too much. He is bombarded with sensory information, struggling to process it after the nothingness of the Afterlife. It take him three days to leave his house. He's been gone for two weeks, and he hopes that someone has noticed, but on a trip to the hotel he halts as he sees another hotel beside it. And there in the doorway, with matching rings on their fingers and laughing without a care in the world, are Ranboo and Tubbo.

    Tommy's been forgotten.

    But over the next few weeks, Niki and Jack seek him out. Sometimes individually, sometimes together, but Tommy is always delighted to see them no matter what they do. Who cares about the murder attempts? They're seeking him out! They want to spend time with him, clearly. Tommy misses them; they were friends before New L'Manberg, and he's happy to have them back as friends again.

     

    Or,

    I really love guilty villains lol and so Tommy befriends Jack and Niki even as they continually try and kill him until they start questioning their choices. (And Tommy knows about it but what's a little pain when he gets friends in exchange?)

    Summary

    Her arms are still shaking around his shoulders, hands clenched into fists at his back. It’s hard. It’s hard, like they can’t decide whether to hug him back or to grab him by the lapels and start yelling at him despite how sternly she tells herself to play it cool and collected. She holds her tongue, like always. It tastes like bitter ash.

    “I missed you,” he murmurs, chin jutting against her temple, quiet enough that she can barely hear it over the whistling of the arctic wind. But oh, she hears it.

    I missed you too, she doesn’t say. I wanted to see you again, she doesn’t say. Why didn’t you tell me you were leaving, she doesn’t ask.

    "You came back," she manages.

    -

    Wilbur is alive. Fine. Niki can deal with that. Wilbur wanting to make amends? That is substantially more difficult.

    Summary

    But fuck, Tommy can be good. Tommy can be Siren's—no, Tommy can be Wilbur’s perfect little charity project. He can do whatever he’s told when he’s told, he can be nice and fucked up when needed and he can obey, and he can be Siren’s for as long as Wilbur is his.

    He knows Wilbur, and he wants to keep this, so he’s got to keep Wilbur interested. He’s got to keep Siren interested. Wilbur likes an argument, likes a fight, but wants to dote. Tommy can do that. Siren, he wants Tommy to be fiery and passionate, but to never question that he’s Siren’s. Siren wants Tommy to never be unsure of who he belongs to, who is the most important person to him. Tommy can do that.

    Siren wants Tommy like a child would want a pretty doll, and Wilbur wants someone that can keep up with him. Tommy isn’t a person to him, but that’s fine. Tommy doesn’t need to be seen as a person, because people take care of their dolls. He needs to be a doll that Wilbur would never get bored of, never get rid of.

    Summary

    “My life is a nightmare,” Dabi muttered blankly.

    “Nah, this is hilarious,” Hawks said, and while he wasn’t explicitly laughing, Dabi knew that those weird little chirps he was letting out were pointed at him. “Imagine if we go through all this effort and you don’t even have some sort of dramatic background or tragic backstory to justify you being this emo, you’re just a hot topic junkie or something.”

    “That’s fucking worse.”

    Or,

    Dabi has amnesia and keeps reading conspiracy theories about himself in an attempt to figure out who he is, gets the League in on it, and they dismantle organized crime, revolutionize society, and ravage the hero system in the process. Hawks suffers.

    Summary

    If Quackity were kinder, he would lend pity to Wilbur and make himself scarce or the kind of angry that doesn’t have Wilbur memorizing the shape of his lips.

    Of course, Quackity is not kind. He is categorically selfish, unrelenting in his dedication, a force of nature that bends his wants into needs and closes his eyes to the reality that someone else may not be able to. Wilbur finds himself wanting to bend.
