    Summary

    Tommy isn’t new to letting Techno down.

    But as he stands (limps), cloaked in blood and a ripped mask and a low-dawning horror and the accusatory beam of Techno’s police-grade flashlight—

    Tommy’s heart threatens to give out.

    He was never supposed to disappoint Techno like this.

    ~ or, where techno hunts vigilantes to keep food on his little brother's plate, and Tommy is a vigilante.

    Summary

    -
    At sixteen years old, Tommy knew so many things.

    He knew that people were predictable and selfish. He knew not to trust, not to take, and not to get comfortable for too long. He knew that the concept of family was as fake as the highlights in his last foster mother's hair.

    Tommy had known for years that life was painful and had no extra love for some ratty foster kid like him. He knew that it was him and his copy of The Odyssey against the whole world. He knew that he only had to survive long enough to make it to his eighteenth birthday before he could escape.

    But when Tommy ends up fostered in the Watson household completely by chance, he finds that maybe he never knew anything in the first place.
    //
    or, the one in which Tommy Innit has never really experienced love, family, or belonging, and is suddenly surrounded by it all at once.

    Summary

    "Don't do anything to him," Tommy manages, heartbeat throbbing and throbbing. "Please."

    Wilbur frowns, but it's Techno who steps forward. "Tommy, he's not going to do anything," Techno tells him cautiously. "You don't need to worry, alright?"

    To you, Tommy would say, if he was stronger. He's not going to do anything to you.

    But he doesn't. Tommy keeps his mouth shut—whatever it takes to stay.

     

    When Techno and Wilbur Soot-Watson anger a bully, it shouldn't be an issue. They are as untouchable as they can get, for students anyway.

    It's unfortunate that Tommy, their foster brother, isn't. Being their soft spot, it only makes sense that he becomes the next target.

    Summary

    Wilbur was fairly certain he’d do anything Tommy asked him to. So when the kid texted him at four in the morning to ask, road trip?, Wilbur was already typing out a hell yeah before Tommy’s pls came through.

    In a way, Wilbur was relieved Tommy had asked. These last few months, Wilbur had felt the pull of Tommy drifting away. His sharp quips— once comedic— had become barbs. The circles under his eyes were growing steadily darker, despite the fact that Tommy was sleeping more, not less. He was quieter too. For anyone else, that might be only slightly strange, but for Tommy, it was as good as a damn fire alarm. Something was wrong, but so far, Wilbur was no closer to understanding what.

    When summer rolled around, he feared that Tommy would shut himself in and pull away even further. A road trip was the perfect opportunity to drag him out of the pit he’d dug for himself.

     

    Or, Tommy's depressed. A road trip seems the ideal solution.

    Summary

    "Welcome to McDonalds, order whenever you're ready."

    And that voice - steeped in apathy, but without a trace of annoyance or hate - brought every shitty thing crashing down at once.

    Wilbur started crying.

     

    Or, Wilbur Soot is having a very bad day, and Tommy has the midnight shift at McDonalds.

    Summary

    “Okay, so… why are you holding my joint?”

    Tommy glanced at the joint again before shrugging. “Weed helps anxiety, right?”

    Wilbur blinked. “Uh, usually, yeah.”

    “Alright, then.”

    Suddenly, Tommy was stuffing the joint in his hoodie pocket, and walked over to Wilbur’s closet. Next thing Wilbur knew, there was a jacket being thrown in his face, followed by the nearby thud of what he guessed was Tommy throwing his shoes at him.

    Yanking the jacket off his face, Wilbur glared at his little brother. “What is this?”

    “What do you think, dumbass?” Tommy asked, gesturing to the jacket and shoes now sitting on the floor in front of Wilbur. “We’re going out.”

    or, freshly home from university for the summer, Wilbur has a panic attack over his grades. Good thing Tommy is there to pull him out of his head.

    Summary

    “There’s a thing,” Tommy gasps, “in the woods.”

    Tubbo jolts up from his spot at the picnic table, eyes wide. “Tommy?” he says. Tommy doubles over, hands on his knees, gasping for air. “You’re bleeding.”

    He reaches out to wipe the bloody scrape on Tommy’s forehead, and Tommy slaps his hand away, skittering back.

    ⸻⸻⸻

    There’s just one piece of advice in this town: Don’t go into the forest. After all, there’s a thing in the forest. (Fog follows it as it walks, with sharp, spiking antlers and jagged teeth.)

    And the thing takes a liking to Tubbo.

    Summary

    The boy standing in the mirror wasn’t Wilbur.

    He blinked a few times, and the boy in the mirror did too. He lifted a hand, with the stranger doing the same. When he flipped the reflection off, the bony and bruised hand flipped him off in return.

    “This isn’t me,” Wilbur whispered in the stranger’s voice, the reflection mouthing the words in time with him.

    This wasn’t him and yet the reflection in the mirror was telling him it was. The boy had curly blonde hair that was styled similarly to Wilbur’s, except the fringe wasn’t nearly as long. Wide set blue eyes stared at him, and after a moment of being frozen, he squeezed them shut, wondering if his reflection would be back to normal when he opened them.

    His eyes blinked open, and he saw he was still blonde and blue-eyed. Fuck.

    or, Wilbur is bored of the monotony of his life in a small town, and wishes for a new life. Meanwhile, Tommy is tired of the isolation that comes with living in the city, and wonders what it would be like to have a closer family.

    Neither one meant they wanted to start swapping bodies.

    or or, a Your Name au.

    Summary

    He grabs his upper arm. His soul mark feels like it’s humming, buzzing with warmth and spreading it into every nerve.

    That’s not normal.

    “Hello there, I haven’t seen a human in this forest in ages.”

    That isn’t either.

    Tommy whirls around at the sound of the voice. Standing in the middle of the clearing is a man, or at least something trying to appear as one.

    -
    Or: Tommy is born with the soul mark of a fae. That poses two problems;

    1. He is very much a human.

    2. Fae don't tend to like humans.

    This should be fun.

    What’s for certain is he’s far from home. As he looks around the wreckage that’s so characteristic of the Dream SMP is nowhere to be seen. There’s not a spot of blood or a sign warning of landmines in sight, and off in the distance, just over the horizon, he can see smoke swirling out of a chimney.

    Summary

    He doesn’t notice that one of her shoes is untied until a lace gets caught in a notch of a log as they pass, sending her down hard.

    The momentum of her fall sends him thudding against a tree, and his eyes slam shut as he grits his teeth against the white hot pain that flares in his side.

    When he opens his eyes, she’s facedown in the snow, still and silent, hands still at her sides making it clear that she didn’t even try to catch herself.

    It speaks of so much trauma, so much unresponsiveness, that he feels tears sting his eyes at the sheer scale of what’s happened to her, of how small and useless he is to fix any of it, of how much he’s let her be hurt by his own failure to protect her.

    But there’s no time for his own self-loathing.

    She needs him, insufficient as he is.

    Summary

    “In 1823,” Wilbur begins, “there was a murder.” The tone of his voice is somber, yet eerie, carrying the feeling of being seated in a circle of people you believed, at the time, to be your friends, one of whom holds a torch to their chin and recites their favorite of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. “Or, so the legend goes, at least."

    "On the night of November 16th, 1823, there was a terrible storm. In the midst of it, from the Mandberg Manor, a maid came into town on horseback, calling for help. She reported an accident, but was unable to give the details, only begging the townsfolk to go quickly. When they reached it, the house was found to be in disarray, yet empty."

    "And so it has remained, until tonight,” Wilbur finishes, a glint of something in his eyes as he turns to look at Tommy behind the camera.

    Summary

    Tommy was miles from home, bloody and panting, stumbling through the dirty streets as he did his best to cover his tracks. There was no doubt in his mind that Dream would be after him, and this time, he wouldn’t take so long to kill him.

    Tommy couldn’t do this anymore. He wished the heroes had killed him the moment they first caught him. Even now, having escaped, he wanted to die. He just didn’t want to be alone as he did it.

    But he had nothing and no one. He was alone.

    His exhausted mind drifted to the only people he deemed important enough to want to be close to.

    He wanted to die. Siren, the Blade, and the Angel of Death wanted to kill him. It was a match made in heaven.

    And anyway, what was one more chase?

    “I did my homework and everything.”

    Techno raised an eyebrow at that, confused at how that was related.

    Thomas seemed to see the confusion.

    “That- that’s why you’re here, right? ‘Cause I’ve been bad?”

    Oh.
