[Complete] (Also on Ao3) After a horrific tragedy, Monty barely has time to grieve before he's swept into a surreality that is more recognisable, and closer to home, than it initially lets on. Burnsmithers. Warning: Major Character Death (with a twist)

"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. //
