    Summary

    The basic ‘no-shiny’ rule he worked with wasn’t just him trying to be difficult. Hell, not even greedy. When Phil’s instincts were in a twist, it genuinely fucked with his head. Something like that just wasn’t excusable in a world where he needed a hundred and ten percent of his mental capacity to focus on not being murdered twenty clicks deep into the untamed wilderness. If all he could think about was how he could get the gold back to his nest and far away from the people who wanted it, no one was gonna be happy.

    “I mean you no disrespect, but what you’re asking of me is outside my depth,” Phil tried to blunt the bad news, “My sincerest apologies for any disappointment.”
    “Then I’ll pay you double for your inconvenience. Make it your depth.”

    Summary

    "Wilbur didn't look like a "difficult" child.

    Honestly, he looked like a child struggling to reach his next birthday on his own. In an oversized, faded sweater, with bruises on his forearms, and a still unhealed, split lip, he definitely didn't resemble the little terrorist Phil had carefully guarded all sharp objects from. More like a victim of a natural disaster. As if he had spent hours on the roof escaping a flood, only to be carried away by a tornado.

    But burying the knives was still a good idea. The kid seemed to trip over while making a sandwich."

     

    Or: Phil feel ready to become a foster family.
    Spoiler: He's not ready.

    Less of plot and more of feelings. Also, fuck canon!Dadza! I want Phil to be a good dad!

    Summary

    “I’m not tired,” Tommy complains into Phil’s fur, but Phil isn’t having it. He simply purrs in apology and licks the tangles out of Tommy’s curls.

    It’s silent long enough that Phil finally starts to give into the haze of sleep.

    Then, “It’s cold, Phil.”

    It is. It is cold.

    Phil prays his own fever is enough to keep Tommy warm through the night.

    ---

    It's hard for Phil, a cat, to look after a young toddler. It's even harder as the pair lives on the streets, getting colder by the day as winter steadily approaches.

    Then the pair get picked up by a tall witch, and his tusked familiar. In the midst of a magical home, Phil learns about himself, cares for Tommy, and struggles with a sense of guilt and self-worth.

    Summary

    "Can I see the injury?" The woman asks, voice gentle. "Just to make sure that it isn't more serious than a bruise."

    Wilbur's eyes flicker over to them. "Uh – " he swallows. "Um, yes. Sure. If – if you have to."

    And then she helps him peel off his hoodie. And then his shirt. And Technoblade's throat goes dry.

    Wilbur is covered in bruises. And usually, Techno knows, that's hyperbole, but no – this is honest. There's no blowing up the blue and black mottling his back, or his side, or his arm. His injured shoulder is actually the only part of him that's not marked up, and Techno is guessing that once the pain sets in, it won't stay that way for long.

    This, Techno thinks, is much, much more than he was expecting, and much, much more than he was ready to deal with.

    or, Wilbur Soot is a hockey player being treated awfully by his team. Techno is team captain of SMP, Phil's team, and he does Not like what he sees.

    Summary

    Three little faces. By the doorway. Children?

    “Oh.” Phil says, for lack of words, because it’s been a bit of a while since he’s seen kids. Three pairs of wide eyes stare back at Phil, terror given at the bloody display before them, the fangs of his teeth bared, the red splattered over his lips, the still warm body held in his claws.

    “Oh, hello.” Phil grins. The smallest one opens his mouth and screams.

    (Or, Vampire!Phil is trying to get by in a zombie apocalypse with the great lack of humans. He decides to try raising his own food supply, after finding three kids. It’s definitely not adoption. No, not at all. (Well, maybe just a bit.))

    Summary

    “Alright, alright. Split up and search,” Third snorts, and Tommy… he thinks he knows that voice. Low and rumbling, familiar.

     

    Blood God. Fuck. Fuck, fuck fuck FUCK.

     

    “It’s the Syndicate,” Tommy hisses, and both Ranboo and Tubbo erupt in his ears.

    Theseus is a master thief, elusive and professional. It's a good way to bring in money, and he is damn fucking good at it with a spotless track record.

    Summary

    There’s a grunt. One, two, three, quick and panicked, and suddenly a large, fluffy mass is leaning into Tommy’s space.

    Still curled up in pain, Tommy almost misses it—almost misses the dilation of Techno’s pupils, almost misses the constant chuff, chuff, chuff, and snort, snort, snort, as Techno’s head dips down to look at him. But Tommy’s been looking for it all week, so, as if magnetized, Tommy still lifts his pained head upward.

    Instinct-Techno is back. The Instinct-Techno that looks out for him. The Instinct-Techno that actually cares.

    ---

    When Tommy was first rescued, he had told his crew that humans couldn't stand touch. Now, touch-starved and lonely, Tommy was willing to hold onto that secret forever.

    But when Techno falls into his instincts, Tommy's resolve starts to crumble, and he starts to wonder exactly what he has to do to get this love all the time.

    Summary

    Aliens weren’t real.

    That was something Tommy used to have a firm belief in. He was never one to gaze out at the stars and wonder at the life that might be found out there. He was too preoccupied being kicked out of various foster homes.

    And he was tired of it. It was like re-reading the same book over and over, he was tired of having to read through the entire book just to reach the same ending with each house. So this time he was skipping straight to the end and burning the pages.

     

    Or

     

    Humans aren't meant to be in space. So how exactly did Tommy end up here?

    Summary

    Every minute, there’s someone nearby. Someone outside their tent, keeping watch. Someone standing by their side, never straying. Wil’s told them to give space. They give it, but only ever so much. Tommy and Wilbur always sit in somebody’s sight, arm’s reach, and frankly, it’s-- terrifying.

    Wilbur is terrified.

    He doesn’t know what they want.

    (Or, continuation of Wouldn't it be mine, in where Wilbur just wants to keep Tommy safe, and Phil, Kristin, and Techno just want to keep Wilbur and Tommy)

    Summary

    “I just thought— I don’t know. I guess you seemed… scared. Of me.”

    Siren sighs. One hand comes up to his face, and Tommy freezes. No. Don’t take your mask off. I can’t look at you, not now.

    But the villain just runs a hand through his hair, letting out a shuddering breath. “You… you kinda changed? I swear, you’re acting so different, Toms. I just don’t know what happened.”

    That’s my line, Tommy’s heart mumbles. That’s my hell.

    But his mouth manages to shape the words, even if his heart refuses to believe them.

    “No. Nothing happened.”
    ///
    Or, 5 times Tommy thought Siren hurt him, and one time he realizes Wilbur never would.

    Summary

    “Kid—” the piglin sighed, but Tommy walked past him with his eyes on the sidewalk. “Wait a minute, kid—”
    “I’m not a fucking kid,” Tommy picked up his pace, “What the fuck do you want?” Tommy didn’t leave any room for error, bluntly demanding the use of any pleasantries that had no use for someone like him.
    “Let me buy you a meal, Tommy.” Tommy’s heart skipped for a moment, almost sure it was a trap. The second part of his head was convinced that even the chance at a meal was enough to follow.
    “What’s the catch?” He jogged forward, still cautious.
    “You let me help you find an alternative to the ring.”
    Tommy rolled his eyes. “Good luck, you’re starting from scratch.”
    Techno smiled. “I can work with that.”

    or

    Tommy and Techno bond over the one thing they have in common: the streets they live on and the hunger for a better life. It didn't go exactly as planned.

    Summary

    Weapons must be perfect.

    A hidden fault or an unnoticed imbalance in the blade of a sword can be the difference between life and death on the battlefield. A blacksmith is careful with such things, watchful and alert during the forging of a weapon. There can be no imperfections. Certainly not if the weapon is a gift for the Lady of Death and her angel.

    Technoblade's trainers know this, and they shape him to be perfect.

    ~

    OR, child Techno is trained to be a living weapon and is given to Phil and Kristin, who don't realize that he is very much sentient. This causes problems.

    Summary

    He’d asked Emmy a little more about imaginary friends today. She didn’t really know why Tommy didn’t just show up when Techno thought about him, but Techno chalked it up to Tommy being built different.

    “TOMMY!” Techno shouts when he walks into the house. Tommy appears from the hallway, grinning ear to ear when he spots Techno.

    “TECHNO!”

    It’s quite nice that Tommy likes Techno as much as Techno likes him. Imagine he had an imaginary friend that didn’t like him. That would probably suck.

    or

    Techno finds an abandoned house in the woods by his house. Or, maybe abandoned isn't quite the right word.

    or

    Kid Techno and Ghost Tommy shenanigans and angst!

    Summary

    “Techno,” Tommy asks, resisting the urge to wring his hands together. “Why did you decide to do this? To start a bakery, I mean.”

    Techno doesn’t pause at that, but his movements slow, for just a moment. His hands press into the dough below him with a slow and deep consistency. “Knew that one day, there’d be a ratty street kid starvin’ himself out here.”

    “I was not ratty,” Tommy grumbles, crossing his arms and glaring.

    This gets Techno to pause, turning to deadpan at Tommy with his eyebrow raised.

    “I was not!”

    “You still are,” Techno rumbles, turning back to his dough. From the mouth of almost anyone else, it would be mean and bitter. From Techno, it only sounds fond.

    ---

    Tommy is a street kid, stealing whatever the Emerald Bakery leaves out to cool. But what happens when they start leaving food out on purpose? And what happens when they take Tommy in?

    Summary

    The first time Tommy dies, he’s seventeen, and they tell him he’s a hero when the Angel’s bladed feather sinks into his chest.

    If Tommy could go back in time and tell himself one thing as blood ran rivers down his chest, it wouldn’t be comforting.

    “Get used to it,” he’d say, as cold as the blade that had done this to him. “This is all you are now.”

    as the heroes' phoenix, tommy only has one job: to die, and die, and die for them. but death hurts, and the more he dies, the less of him comes back.

    Summary

    “And everyone is so old,” Tubbo complains. Somehow, without them knowing about it, Tubbo’s managed to swipe a waffle and is chewing on it happily. Sapnap stifles a laugh. “Well, not everyone, I guess- the kid in our room is our age, I think. He might be younger.”

    Wilbur perks up. “Does he ice skate?”

    “Yeah, he does. He’s got these sick skates and everything.” Tubbo explains. “He’s quiet though. We tried talking to him, but…”

    “But?”

    Tubbo shrugs. "He's quiet. He doesn't talk much. I guess he's busy."

    or, Tommy's made it to the Olympics for figure skating- he's the youngest contestant on the ice and he's the favor for the gold. He's supposed to be living the dream. So why is he still so unhappy? And why do all these hockey players and snowboarders care so much about him?

    Summary

    "If you throw that at me," The Blood God says, "I am going to tie you up. Put it down and we can talk."
    Tommy's heart is trying to pound out of his chest. He can't win this. He knows that. But he can't just give up. This isn't like that first meeting. The Blood God is aware and conscious, not lost in the drive of his instincts. The Blood God would probably enjoy taunting Tommy if he curled up and showed his fear so blatantly.
    No, Tommy isn't going to take this lying down. He will not go gentle into that good night. His eyes narrow. He sees The Blood God tense.
    "Come and get me, motherfucker." Tommy snarls and lobs the lamp right at the hybrid's stupid face.

    Tommy doesn't know what gods he pissed off to deserve being abducted and later hunted down by Hypixel's most well-known celebrity. But he's not going down without a fight.

    Summary

    Tommy was many things: feared, free, powerful… but he wasn’t proud.

    He wasn’t proud of the title he had or the name they’d called him, honestly he didn’t think he deserved it. Tommy never had an evil plan, or a secret lair, or any of the cool things villains had. All he had was a shitty apartment and the clothes on his back, and a desire for more.

    He couldn’t be a civilian, and he certainly wouldn’t be a hero, so he did what he had to do.

    At fifteen years old, Red Death killed the top heroes in L’Manburg, and Tommy became a villain.

    Or: Two years ago, the top heroes of L'Manberg were killed by Red Death. Now, ex-villain Tommy tries to juggle the fallout while also forging new relationships, some of which may be more complicated than they seem.
