    Summary

    His hands shook as he clutched the edges of his jumper, pulling it tighter around himself. The events of the night played on a loop in his mind, each detail sharper and more horrifying than the last. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block it out, but the images wouldn’t leave him.

     

    The sickening crack as the bullet went off.

     

    The wet thump as his body fell to the floor.

     

    or

     

    Foster care au, two possessive ex-war vets and their new, traumatised son. More at 8

    Summary

    There is a truth whispered through generations: people’s hearts are made of many things.

    There is the usual, yes—blood and muscle and fragile tissue. But more, too. Some are built from sadness, carrying the weight only Atlas is said to have known. Others beat with the steadiness of stone, or the brittle ache of bone, calcified and splintering.

    There are hearts of soil, steady and patient. Hearts of ocean—salt-brined, tidal, storm-wracked. Some burn with the loyalty of a hound, or cry out with the voice of a cockatoo, bright-feathered and unquiet. Some are fox-hearted, all sharp teeth and soft fur, cunning stitched into every pulse.

    But, oh — oh, to have a chameleon heart. A heart that shifts and shimmers, molding to its world with every breath. A heart that matches the color of the room, the tone of a voice, the expectation in another’s eyes. Always beating, always changing — never quite settling on its own, never belonging to itself.

    This is the heart the L’Manbergeans have. This is the heart Tommy has. This is the heart that wins.

    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

    “You just… have to work your snake charm on the nobles. Help us out. If they find anything, and they will, we’re like sitting ducks. Ready for hunt, nothing more, nothing else. If you can… If you just manage… So at least Essempi doesn’t fucking murder us in our sleep.”

    Wilbur choked on his own breath. Impossible. It was impossible, he couldn’t mean that Soot, that Empire, that Essempi-!

    “If they don’t take you, I don’t know how we will avoid full out war. You said it yourself, for fucks sake!”

    Wilbur sobbed.

    “I died. I think I died,” he breathed.

    ________
    Or: Wilbur Ash gets isekaid into a novel he hates, into a character he despises. As the new Wilbur Soot, his goal is simple: he has to survive.

    Summary

    Techno's eyes travel from Tommy's head to his toes, recognition didn't flit across his face like Tommy had anticipated. Nine years did change a person a great deal. Techno, who had only been fourteen the last time Tommy had seen him, was now a grown man, well muscled, all traces of boyishness gone from his body. Though he was still recognizably Techno. Tommy on the other hand had been six. A runt with bright eyes and a firy personality. Tommy wondered if the years had rendered him too changed for his brother to know him.

    Then it happened. Tommy saw the instant Techno put the pieces together. He stood up in a rush, his book falling to the floor in a heap, while his beer sloshed around in its bottle.

    "Tommy?"

    OR

    Tommy winds up at Techno's doorstep after nine years of separation. He'd found him online via article. Apparently Tommy's brother was a semi famous bullrider. Tommy didn't care about that though, he just needed somewhere to stay. A cabin out in the middle of Texas would just have to do.
