    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.

    11 June 2023: The bullying foster fic of your dreams. Checks all the boxes and does so with good grammar, which is always a plus. [All happy endings should include Dream getting his teeth kicked in, send tweet]

    1 May 2023: My old tags made me laugh out loud, so true past me, I’d send that tweet

    Summary

    Tubbo turned to look at him, his blue eyes blown wide.

    “Tommy, there’s a body in there.”

    Tommy and Tubbo, part-time vigilantes who usually stick to fighting low-level crime, bite off a bit more than they can chew at their newest contract gig.

    Luckily (?) for them, the Syndicate is … interested.

    11 June 2023: Murder mystery, vigilante style? Yes please. [Bad guys get what they deserve, classic syndicate finding out they’re kids and asking is anyone gunna adopt that?, morally dubious syndicate but it’s not shown, gotta love that classic “murder is ok but I draw the line at kids” trope, HE’S IN THE WALLS, HE’S IN THE GODDAMN WALLS]

    1 May 2026: Still loved re-reading this, even though I knew the plot already. Chapter 5 still had my heart in my throat a bit. Side note, the vibes more more mafia-ish au than superhero, imo

    Major TWs: Child mass murder, near death experiences

    Summary

    Tommy was sick of wasting his life away when he knew he could be something great. The day he finally decided he was done waiting was also the day he was kicked out of home and sent into the wilderness teeming with beasts. Under the jaws of a death dog, Tommy hadn't yet accepted the waste that was his soul. Fortunately for him, a couple of brothers sensed the magic sizzling under his skin and offered him a real family, a true chance at glory.

    Or Tommy gets adopted by SBI and learns what it means to be of magekind.
    But also things go really very wrong.

    Summary

    The world was grey and empty, and Tommy was only making it worse.

    Each step felt like he was locking himself further and further into his decision until he was just a few steps away. Already he could feel the humming reaching up from the ground and becoming a part of him, just like his dream had foretold.

    One step, two.

    It almost didn’t feel real, but he knew it was in the way his heart was beating frantically in his chest – the way his toes were pinched in his shoes and how the tag of his hoodie itched his neck.

    He stepped forward. Silence.

    He woke up.


    Tommy just wants to stay dead; the universe and his family object.

    27 Nov 2022: want sobbing? yes? read! [My heart was ripped out and fed to me, pov op looked into my past in order to write this fic, fics my therapist could read and talk to me about why I love it]

    27 April 2026: Ironic that I’m re-reading this on the same day of the month. Anyways, I think about this fic pretty frequently. It’s a sick asf concept and amazing execution, I mean I’m a sucker for time loops, but this really takes the cake. Ugly crying, chest hurting, pause-to-breathe inducing kinda fic. Fuck.

    READ THIS WARNING: Please, only read this fic if you’re looking for a good cry. Yes, it has a happy ending, but this is about suicide from start to end.

    Major TWs: suicide, mentions of previous self harm, self-hatred

    Summary

    "Man, I don't have the energy for this." Wilbur complained, reaching up to pull the light bulb chain and illuminate the kid passed out in the middle of his stock room.

    He was young. Fluffy blonde hair and a ratty old hoodie. There were magic aftershocks running up and down his limbs, starting and ending at his core, by his heart.

    That shit was dangerous. Whatever this kid had been doing, it could've killed him. It still might. For a minute, Wilbur wrestled with his morals, but he knew it was useless. He was going to help this idiot at two in the morning after his mother's funeral.

    or

    modern magic au that will leave you wondering who exactly is saving who, here

    29 Sep 2022: Rem anon back at it again with making me wanna punch something. This is so wholesome and heart wrenching and god I could write a dissertation on this holy fuck [Unconventionally gathered sbi! phil isn’t the dad he’s a dumb lil guy who’s /aff for the rest of them, hes more like cc! but not in a weird way it’s actually kinda nice]

    29 Feb 2026: still a banger. Super interesting worldbuilding and magic system, and a fantastic grasp on relationships between each character based on who they are and what they’re going through as individuals.

    Major TWs: emotional/existential suicidal ideation, previous unnamed character death, grief, chronic depression
