    Summary

    When Tommy woke up trapped in a building, he thought it would be a routine, boring wait for Crowfather. He didn't expect the new villain, Alchemist, to also be trapped with him. He also, didn't expect to land on an active cuddle potion. But, well, Sparrow can roll with the punches. Or, at least, block the punches.

    The Batman AU that has been stuck in my head ever since I remembered both Wilbur and Jason Todd have a white streak in their hair, and Tommy has the same insecurities and abandonment issues as Tim Drake.

    Summary

    No, that would be the person chained to the chair in the middle of the room, a power suppressor glowing on his wrist. He was faced away from the door, but Tommy could still make out the familiar curly brown hair that was matted to his head, traces of fresh cuts lining his arms, some still bloody, and villain suit that he’d helped the elder make.

    Wilbur.

    A prisoner; a traitor.

    Techno hand gently grabbed his own as they stepped inside the dim room, not allowing either of them to linger any longer at the morbid sight. Phil inclined his head to the both of them as he stood outside to guard. There was no hope of Wilbur escaping, no reason for him to linger, but the two sons knew it was an excuse to look at his child one last time.

    Summary

    But Wilbur is a ball and chain in the middle of the sea, slowly but steadily dragging himself down to the ocean floor with Tommy unknowingly trapped inside his cuff. It’s unfair that Tommy has had to drown with Wilbur for so many years, desperately trying to swim both of them back to the surface. It’s fruitless, and Tommy wonders sometimes if it would be better to just cut the chain that binds them together. To let Wilbur sink on his own, while Tommy heads for air.

    He could never do that though; as much as he wants to. He’ll let Wilbur sink them both, and Tommy will swim and thrash as the surface grows more and more distant. Hoping and wishing for a lifeboat. For someone to help them to shore, and to pull Tommy’s freezing body into their warm, loving arms and drape a towel over his wet shoulders.

    He thinks Phil might be that person, Techno too. Tommy wants to let them be and he wishes for Wilbur to want that too.

    OR: Wilbur and Tommy are brothers in the foster system. Wilbur is struggling with addiction, Tommy is always left to pick up the pieces. But now with Techno and Phil here, hopefully they’ll be able to help. (Only Wilbur does not want help.)

    Summary

    There’s an absent smile on Wilbur’s face, something behind his eyes. “Vampires of the same coven drink each other's blood. It’s not nutritional, it’s more like a kind of trust exercise.”

    Tommy scrunches up his nose. “Ew.”

    Wilbur chuckles. “Like I said, it probably sounds pretty bad to a human. But, if you trust someone, it’s a reminder of why you do, how much you do. Family, and all that.”

    Tommy shakes his head. “I could never be a vampire.”

    “Really?” Wilbur incredulously asks. The shocked look Tommy gives him in response brings out a chuckle. “No, no, I understand that, but you… That deters you? I mean, you trust me, don’t you?”

    Tommy freezes. Something has changed, but Tommy doesn’t know what. Wilbur is serious, and… Tommy doesn’t know if he’s allowed to say no.

    Something in Wilbur’s voice tells him to agree.

    -

    Or: Tommy is hanging out with his vampire friend, Wilbur, when the discussion of bonding comes up. Come to find out, vampires and humans bond very differently…

    Summary

    “Well aren’t you just a sweet thing,” A voice purrs, their tone melodic and sweet, practically dripping with honey.

    Tommy shivers, curling in closer to the warmth around him, the voice wrapping around his mind, tugging him in more and more. His head pounds, and his body aches, his ears feel muffled, and his mind feels distant and far away. All he knows is the warmth around him, the gentle hand running through his hair, and the dull ache in the back of his head.

    The pain continues on like a relentless itch, only momentarily soothed by the hand carding through his hair.

    Or Tommy is an undercover spy who gets himself tangled up with Wilbur Soot, a dangerous man with people out against him.
