Summary
The bench trio decided that going to work for the hero committee (again) as civilians was a good idea, even though they had to fake their deaths to get out the first time. With advanced technology on their side, they'll be able to go back in for the first time in months.
This time, they aren't heroes. Now, they're undercover villains.
Hopefully Tubbo and Ranboo will resist the urge to stab one of the top three heroes.OR
The villain bench trio sneak back into the hero tower, somehow legally.
(This is a side story for Oppositional Forces that's simply a diverging timeline for the original fic. It can be read sort of as a standalone but makes more sense if you read the fic.)Series

Summary
When in a war that has stretched for longer than most have been alive, information reigns above all. But the old records are buried deep. Long forgotten. And the figures of legend take solace in that fact.
It is unfortunate they are happy to be forgotten(A series of lore one-shots for Oppositional Forces. This was written mostly to give OPF lore enthusiasts something new and interesting to take into account, because things are not always as they seem in this universe)

Summary
Since everyone likes the other AU extra that I did for OPF, I thought I'd post this too
This is a glimpse into the earliest ideas that I had for OPF, like the earliest. At first, I wasn't planning for the bench trio to get adopted, and this reflects that. I think we're all glad I changed my mind, but that doesn't mean this should be forgotten completely :)

Summary
[Based of my fic Oppositional Forces]
Just random scenes from Techno's perspective, except it's all focused on chat because they're insane and I love them for it. This was previously in separate one-shots but I though I should consolidate them.

Summary
This can be read as a stand-alone but makes it more sense if you read the series.
