Love Over War (A Technoblade x reader)

~ Chapter 1 ~

~ Welcome to the first chapter of the story I hope you enjoy! ~

Story Cap

You and your best friend Techno are renowned across the land under your respective aliases, Technoblade and The Diamond, not necessarily criminals but popular anarchists that were either hated or adored. You both simply travel around challenging people to duels or causing chaos as you go. With few strings attached to you, it was a surprise to both of you when a favor was called in by your old friend Wilbur Soot. He was an old friend of yours and now a government leader (both to you a Techno's distaste) who was apparently now engaged in a war over his country. Never ones to give up the chance to help overthrow a rightfully elected government you both headed down to what was left of L'manburg to help cause chaos. Was this more than you could handle and will you lose each other in the process, only time and battle can tell.

Chapter 1: A Letter

Y/N's Perspective

       Today had begun as any typical day would, you and Techno both woke up at dawn rolling away from sleeping in your back to back format. It was a safety precaution, as people that traveled (and caused lots of chaos along the way) you needed to constantly be aware, and sleeping back to back ensured defense from all angles. You had then gone to find a river to wash up in while Techno hunted for breakfast. You usually prepared breakfast while he washed up himself. There was minimal dialogue between the two of you considering neither one of you were morning people so you were quite surprised when Techno called for you.

    "Y/n it seems we have a visitor this morning," Techno said in a groggy voice

    You walked up to him confused, not seeing anyone around him as you drew your sword, a visitor that was unseen couldn't be a good one. As you approached where he was kneeling you observed that there was in fact a visitor but quite a small one that had previously hidden from sight, you sheath your sword as you approached him noticing a small rolled piece of paper attached to a collar the fox was wearing. "Looks like he has a message for us," you stated sure that Techno had already seen the item.

    "I'm aware," he said, "I was waiting for you to arrive before I opened it, I assume anything sent our way is meant for the both of us."

    It was a reasonable assumption, the two of you were a duo, anything one of you was involved in was really for the both of you. You reached down to where the fox was patiently waiting and took the note as the creature watched you with keen eyes. You unraveled the bow tying the note to its collar.

    You picked up the note and unrolled it, noticing the L'manburg seal at the top. Techno was leaning over your shoulder, his breath tickling you as he looked at the message but you read the note regardless.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"To the Blade and the Diamond,

    The time has come for me to call in one of your infamous favors. As of a few hours ago 'L'marburg' was taken from my control. Technically there was a voted election but I'm positive it was rigged (not that either one of you cares for elections or governments), but I would like your assistance in tearing this one down. I created L'manburg and should have control over it. I will give you more details upon your arrival as I'm sure neither one of you will refuse the chance to overthrow a 'rightfully" elected government. Assuming you have no previous obligations you can simply follow my fox back to where I am currently stationed, if you do have something to do or wish to not come to fight in my war please write a note in response so I can plan accordingly. Your backup would be greatly appreciated and I know we would succeed if we had you both on our side. I beseech you to come to our aid and I will repay you with anything you wish so long as it is my power.

I hope to be seeing you soon.

                        - Wilbur Soot, Rightful President of L'manburg"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    You finished reading the note and turned around to face Techno rather than have him standing over your shoulder, the place where his breath had been brushing against you still tingling. You rubbed your shoulder briefly before saying "Well, he's certainly not wrong about us not being the kind of people to turn down an invitation to overthrow a government."

    Techno shrugged, "He might not be wrong but that would just be us tearing down a government to start another one and I don't think we're all about that." he said placing a hand on the hilt of his sword.

    You placed a hand on your hip and sighed, Techno wasn't wrong, going in and tearing apart a government just for new leaders to step in wasn't exactly their style. After thinking for another moment you said, "Well both of us know Wilbur isn't exactly a stable entity." You had both met the man many times and he acted completely normal most of the time but everyone could see that he was really a ticking time bomb. "If we place Wilbur back into control of L'manburg it's likely that he will destroy the whole country within a month, but he will still have power and we could just get whatever we wanted out of him favor wise before he makes the country kick the bucket and then we can just leave," you said, finishing off your thought.

    Techno considered this for a moment leaning to the side, his braid shifting over his shoulder. "If we did that," he said, "we would have to know what to ask for upfront in our agreement or immediately after we finish going through with everything."

    There was no doubt in your abilities on either side of your duo, if the two of you set off to complete a task it would be completed. This of course led to a certain degree of arrogance and carelessness which was something neither one of you seemed to realize. Yet despite this, you seldom had difficulty succeeding in your agendas.

    "Well," you started, "What's something we want that Wilbur Soot could give us? I am lacking knowledge of what L'manburg holds of value. I know there was a lot of illegal potion brewing going on but we both prefer to brew our own." You finished, sitting on one of the logs you had used for seats while sitting by your fire last night.

    Techno sat down next to you after swinging off his large cape, "I suppose we can figure it out when we get there." he said.

    "Well then I guess you should go get washed up and I'll make us some food before we follow this little fox to our next destination."

~ around an hour later ~

    After you had eaten your breakfast and both packed your things into the saddle bag of your horse you looked at the small fox before you.

    Techno let out a series of grunts and the fox looked up at him before standing up, it seemed to wait for the both of you as you swung into the saddle of the horse allowing Techno to climb on behind you. Good horses were expensive and you two had found it easier to share one than spend the money and the time taking care of two, besides Carl was a sturdy horse and had no trouble carrying the both of you.

    The fox started forward and you took that as a signal to follow, you tapped the side of the horse to urge it forward and you began your journey towards L'manburg and the war that would follow your arrival.
