Official Wattpad Version of TUIK Highest Ranking #1 in Found Family Highest Ranking #1 in Villains ~~~~ "Be my apprentice," Icarus blurted. Tommy blinked. Gradually, the corners of his mouth dropped into the deepest frown he'd ever made. "What the fuck? Why?" "Why?" Icarus froze and Tommy raised a judgemental eyebrow. "It's because of your powers." "My powers," he echoed. "I never told you whether or not I had powers." "I can... sense them," Icarus bullshitted. Tommy pinched the bridge of his nose. "Right. What are they, then," he retorted. "Uh... super... powers," the villain answered, sounding more unsure of himself by the second. Tommy wanted to bash his head against a wall. "Really? That's the best you could do?" ------ Tommy isn't sure why handing someone their keys is such a big deal, but now he's left with a huge problem: Every supervillain in the city wants him to be their apprentice! - or - Tommy's lame superpower turns out to be a game-changer. ~~~~ Cover art by @sho_draws on instagram Original story by SeriouslyCalamitous on archiveofourown Please use the hashtag #tommysultraimportantkeychain on social media or tag me!

In L'Manburg, there exists a virus. A virus known for obliterating every server it is sent into, every computer it touches. One of the oldest viruses out there, hackers claim it is impossible to eliminate, and many have tried. Many more have taken the virus and used it against their enemies, against corporations and governments, against fellow hackers and spies. No matter where it is sent, no matter who it targets, the virus known as The Blade leaves nothing behind. One hacker has not yet been tested against it. Ph1LzA Min3crAft has spent many years in the computer world, learning its language and all the delicate intricacies of its functions. In this open, strange world of ones and zeroes, of precise commands and exacting standards, Ph1LzA is regarded as king. So when the virus resurfaces, he is called in to destroy it once and for all. But Ph1LzA doesn't work like other hackers. He's more curious, more interested in learning why the virus is out here in the first place, why it too behaves differently than any other piece of code he's ever seen. Why it almost seems alive...

It all began in the dead, cold wastelands of the End. Vast stretches of void and floating islands, filled with purple chorus trees and yellow stone. Where Endermen roam the lands, shulkers defend the long empty cities of civilizations no more and the mysterious Elytrians rule the empty skies. Where a very special someone was born, a long time ago. (An attempt at a backstory for my personal Philza headcanon :D Enjoy!) Cover art drawn by me
