SBI Royal Au The first book in the Antarctic Empire Trilogy In which Philza is the king of the Antarctic Empire, with Techno as his head general and military strategist, Wilbur as his public face, and Tommy... well, Tommy as his youngest. Not everything was as perfect as the family wanted you to think. Wilbur and Tommy were constantly at odds with each other, Techno and Phil were always way too busy to do anything, and the staff... well, the staff was overworked as it was. You can guess what happens next. ⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️ I have never read Passerine. This is not based on it in any way. Any connections between the two is purely coincidental.

"I understand. You heard the place you loved was in trouble, so you came back, but I don't-I just-why didn't you take me?" Here it was, at last. Catharsis, or something close to it. "I would have hunted them down with you, Philza, the people who did that to your town. I would have given you your vengeance on a silver platter. I would have given you the world." Philza didn't look guilty. He just looked tired. "I didn't hunt them down, though." // Or, that fic where Techno and Phil are old immortals, and Tommy and Wilbur are decidedly... not. Angst ensues. //

"On top of a hill that overlooks an intricate city, there stands a glass castle. It is not stained, nor tinted or frosted. It's clear and empty of colour, see through. Arrows and stones and gazes can pierce through the thin layer, for it is not bulletproof. It is made of glass, perched precariously over a city of stones and other sorts. 'Thomas, we aren't like everyone else. We have wealth, superior to all those below us.' "Inside the glass castle, there lives a jackhammer and a pen and paper. They have a son, and he is made of porcelain. The porcelain boy grows inside these castle walls, learning and changing. The jackhammer and the pen keep him inside the glass castle, and so he watches through the clear windows, silently observing the city that lives its own life." (Art is not mine! If you know who it's by, please let me know!)

Four brothers, scattered across the map. A kingdom, awaiting its rulers. A prophecy, bringing all the pieces together. This is the story of how he found them. Or: This is a sleepy bois inc fanfiction where Phil, Techno, Wilbur, and Tommy are brothers and the rightful rulers of a forgotten kingdom. -- "C'mon child, just behave for me will you? I don't think you'd like us getting caught," Wilbur said dragging Tommy behind him. "Please Wilbur, I am an utter delight to have around. I'm going to be on my best behavior!" Tommy practically shouted, earning an over-the-shoulder glare from the elder. "Starting now," he whispered, letting Wilbur pull him along the empty corridors.
