Dream SMP+3
by allieae
“Every museum needs a main display,” Dream explains carefully. “The crown jewels, if you will.” And his eyes are back on Tommy, piercing somehow, despite the mask– “Something important, something irreplaceable."
His free hand shoots out, landing on Tommy’s arm, and Tommy flinches back. A startled cry gets lost in Tubbo’s throat, but Dream only drags Tommy forward, grip unrelenting despite the way that Tommy tries to pull away, looking like he’s trying to detach himself from his skin, heels dragging the floor, wings flapping in protest, muscles straining, feathers wild–
And in a fleeting moment of clarity that cuts through the panic, suddenly Tubbo is able to recognize the contraption across the room, above their heads, what it resembles.
Iron pins embedded into the wall the way you would display a hunting trophy, irons pins arranged like--
Like a butterfly board.
Or, if the final confrontation had ended differently.
