    Summary

    Logan first realises he doesn’t want to die at age eight. A man kneels before him, palms kissing the marble floor.

    Logan is alone, as his friends die around him. Fading in and out, he remembers some things he'd rather have forgotten, and some things he doesn't yet understand. As death creeps ever closer, he can't help but feel like their story has more to it.

    And Logan’s been keeping secrets, including one that just might change the course of the Sides forever.

    Summary

    From the time Tommy was born, there was one rule. "Don't talk about dad". All he needed was his mum, who had stayed when his father hadn't. At least, so he'd been told. And life wasn't bad. He went to school, he had friends and a roof over his head. That was good enough.

    All this changes when he pens the first letter.

    Or, snapshots of Tommy's childhood

    Summary

    Hamelin is the kind of place people go to die. It seems every morning Tommy is awoken by the sound of someone's mother sobbing. Without a miracle, it'll be him and Tubbo waking up the village as Ranboo succumbs to illness. None of them are making it through the winter already, and Tommy has to believe they deserve better than becoming food for the rats. Then the miracle comes. In the form of a piper with a wooden flute, dark eyes, and colourful clothes.
    And now... Everything changes.


    In a few hours, once the sun is down and gone, this will be over. Wilbur will lead away the rats, and Tommy will never get to know whether their acquaintanceship could’ve blossomed into more. His gut churns at the thought.
    “You know Wilbur,” Tommy suddenly says. “I’m glad I got to meet you.”
    “I’m glad I got to meet you too.” Wilbur smiles, and there is no doubt in Tommy’s heart that the piper is sincere.


    Inspired by "The Pied Piper of Hamelin"

    Summary

    Tommy’s story can be told in one of three ways.

    One: through the ancient myths stuck to his skin, Theseus and Echo, stories of grandeur and tragic endings.
    Two: through the reflections on a lake, refracting and revealing a himself years younger.
    And three, the most damning: through the pain required in letting go of the relationships he most cherished, and trying to salvage what remains.
    This is all three, and somehow none at all, for this is no longer simply his story.

    Sometimes, when you hurt with someone, it feels wrong not to heal together.

    Summary

    When Tommy was a child, he had a family.
    An angel, a god, and a visionary.
    But they fell apart.
    So he found himself on a server promising the future. And here, he met a boy with horns, and built a nation surrounded by the people he loved. This was his second family, blown to smithereens.
    Third time's the charm, he supposes, as he builds a relationship with a forest green man in a gasmask, a soft dog, and a woman who tells him stories of the seas. That time was the most brutal, beaten to death with bare bloody hands.
    Tommy's grown cautious. They're all here, everyone, they're all here. Just separate, and he's pretty sure at least half of them hate him. Probably more than half, if he's being honest.

    Ok. He has one more time in him. One more life, one more time, one more chance.

    Just one more time.

    (redemption, release, and chances given and deserved)
