The Case of the Fire Inside

by trying_to_spell_both_our_names_at_once

In the long list of rules that Dream gave him, there were four that stuck out as the most important. Four rules that he could never break. Stick close to the island when swimming. Always be back before seven. Never complain or hesitate to give Dream his pelt. And never, ever interact with humans. Tommy didn’t break any of those rules often, and if he did it was a one time thing, a mistake. But this wasn’t a mistake. This was a very deliberate, very stupid move on his part and Dream would kill him if he knew what Tommy was doing. Fifteen years Tommy had lived here, and never once had he intentionally broken one of Dream’s rules. Until now. He swims closer to the three humans..Tommy's a selkie living isolated on an island with Dream as his caretaker. Wilbur, Techno, and Phil are the new lighthouse keepers next door. Surely there's no way for this to go wrong.

My Hero Academia

Forged By Nitroglycerin And Spite

by Sif (Rosae)

Katsuki was quite possibly the most stubborn child to ever walk the planet earth. While his unwavering nature could cause issues, it had also saved his life several times. His determination was boundless when well directed, driving him to reach greater and greater heights. Problem was, this wasn’t a height Katsuki wanted to reach. He'd gotten up here accidentally and he didn’t know how to get down. Or if he even should get down. In which Katsuki’s kidnapping goes ever so slightly differently. His classmates don’t show up to help him escape, All-Might is caught up in fighting Nomu and as a result takes longer to reach Katsuki after All for One teleported him away. Little things add up, and Katsuki's path as a hero is forever altered, for better or for worse.

Turn of the Tide

by SilverWing15

Tommy’s fins twitch at the mention of Dream’s ancestors. Dream talks about them a lot, how they made their fortune hunting down mer pods, how they were cruel and greedy. Nothing like Dream is. They’ve both overcome their roots he says. Tommy is nothing like the wild mer out in the ocean, who spend their lives scraping by just to survive, who kicked him out of the pod when he was a baby because he was too small. He’s also better than the pit mer, who can’t overcome their wild instincts and know nothing but fighting. He’s different from them, he’s better than them. He’s Dream’s.////OR: Change is like the tide, when it comes, you can only sink or swim. You would think that a mer would be better at keeping afloat.

I'm You But Better

by MollyPollyKinz

“Hey,” Technoblade said, peeking inside to where Wilbur was playing guitar for Tommy on the couch, “When were you going to tell me that you had two kids?” “I don’t,” Phil said shortly. Technoblade frowned, continuing to stare at the scene. “Then why is there a kid that looks just like you sitting in there?” Phil let out a small groan of frustration. “Tommy’s not my son,” he explained, “He’s just…” He lowered his voice. “…some failed clone.” Or, Tommy is Philza's clone and people react.

but still nobody wants me

by like_theletter

Tubbo knows Tommy likes joking about them being brothers. Tubbo knows Tommy, period, knows it took him six months to start calling Wilbur his brother after he got adopted and even longer for Techno (at least, that’s what Tubbo’s been told) and that he’s very territorial about his family. And Tubbo knows he himself… doesn’t make the cut.And that’s fine. Totally fine. It makes sense.What Tommy doesn’t know is that Tubbo’s sick and twisted and has a nasty habit of getting too attached. In his most shameful moments, he dreams about them being brothers; about him and Wilbur, him and Techno, him and Phil. Tubbo’s selfish, is what it is. He has perfectly good parents and yet his brain is insistent on him shoving himself somewhere he just doesn’t belong.(Tubbo struggles to find his place.)
