It happened on the runway of I-87, right before they reached the exit.
Life was seldom fair -- according to Dream, anyway -- and this was just another testament to that damned mantra.
Life's not fair, Toms, he'd hiss as he ripped the wallet from Tommy's hand. Not fair, kid, he'd continue as he ripped a twenty into confetti, laughing like some lab-coated jackass who'd just activated a doomsday device. Not fair, not fair, not fair, all while Tommy stood, horrified, helpless, and most importantly, useless.
What Dream failed to recognize was that Life didn't turn your money into scraps, sell your belongings for pennies and dimes, or give you an eye black enough to make the night sky jealous. Life wasn't fair, but it also didn't have a vengeance against a 16-year-old kid; Tommy wasn't sure he could say the same about the mask-wearing bastard that smiled come rain or shine, death or tragedy.

A Second Tale of Revenge
"Twelve and a half years now," Tommy said to himself. He looked at the silhouettes of the others. He could sense that they were all demoralized. No one could revive them now. "You're horrible," Schlatt said. "I'm just counting the days, man!" Tommy said. "What else am I supposed to do? Socialize with you maniacs?" Dream laughed, accidentally breaking character. "Yes. Yes, that is what is expected." "Shut up, Dream!" Tommy shouted, forcing Dream to become the hopeless murderer again. "You're in no place to talk! You caused this!" "You killed us!" Dream countered. "I-" A horrid pain spread from the centre of his torso. It was painful, but also really, really cold. Then it all went black. Well, as black as vision could be when stuck in darkness. ________________ Here is your sequel, everyone. I hope you enjoy the second Tale of Revenge, told from the not at all insane TOR!Tommy's point of view. Enjoy.Complete

Duchenne (DSMP Superhero AU)
Warning: If you comment anything, some characters may hear you. (Techno, Dream, One person will be heard by Wilbur, Phil, ect) "It's okay mate, Dream can't hurt you." The boy lowered his knife, tilting his head. A taunting gesture that Dream commonly used. "Did you catch him?" Thanatos looked away and Seiren busied himself with his hair. Icarus glared at both before turning back to the masked boy. "No... he got away." The masked boy's head tilted down. Thanatos and Seiren readied themselves to hear regret and terror, just like everyone else they freed from Dream's grasp. Instead, the boy let out a sinister chuckle. "Good." AKA Dream being a terrible person and SBI being decent human beings. ALSO!

"πππ’ πΏπππ π΄π€ππ’π...πΆπππ πππ‘β ππ , πππ‘π." | ππ΅πΌ π΄π
Tommy had just recently moved homes. The one he left was one full of memories. Not good ones, but not necessarily bad ones, either. He didn't have much to live for at his old home, so he moved in hope of starting over and meeting new people. He had no more family, and his school friends had long moved on from him. In fact, the only number in his contacts was his mum's who was long passed away. Tommy was young (sixteen, to be exact) and he often forgot things. Usually just as simple as forgetting to do the laundry, or forgetting to reply to a notification on his phone that he received three seconds prior. Simple things that didn't matter. This time, though, he forgot to charge his phone before leaving his new, barely furnished apartment. He didn't think much of it. If it died, it died. No biggie, right? He figured he'd be alright for an hour or so without his phone. That is, until he got lost in the large, unfamiliar town that he definitely didn't even slightly know the layout of. He didn't know where he was or how to get back to his apartment, especially without a GPS. And then, when it definitely couldn't get worse, it began to rain. Tommy was soaked. He was cold, hungry. He cut into an alley and sat down against a brick wall, curled up on himself. He sat there for a while, and then heard footsteps. It was three men. The older one crouched down in front of him. "You look awful...Come with us, mate." But Tommy didn't want to. These people felt...off. ~~~ TW// Cussing Kidnapping Injuries Manipulation Stockholm syndrome Drugging someone etc... ~~~ Started: May 10, 2023 Finished: August 5, 2023 (This took way too long π)Complete

I Want You Dead || Angel AU || PLATONIC Ranboo X Reader
IN WHICH: Angels and demons don't mix, and when they do, demons tend to chase after them, trying to kill every last one of the hybrids. So before they could even speak a word, Ranboo and (Y/N) were sent to the Overworld to seek cover from death. But they find the two anyways. --- Eventually, Techno stopped. We made our way a couple meters away before stopping and looking towards him curiously. Was this the best decision? No. But are we dumb seventeen year olds? Oh most definitely. Techno stood still for a moment, looking at the ground, before sighing and nodding to himself- what I thought was himself. He looked towards us. "You're lucky that Dan got through to him." "Philza?" Ranboo asked quietly. Techno made a noise that was in between a laugh and a scoff. "Yeah." Tubbo let out a breath of relief as he leaned on the wall, sinking to the ground, practically collapsing. "I have never ran more in my life." "At least we're alive." I muttered as Ranboo fell down backwards as well, landing on the cloud floor in relief. "I'm so tired." he groaned. I simply sat back right on my ass, breathing out harshly. OR I squeezed Ranboo in a hug one last time before laying him down on the cloudy floor, a little closer to Tubbo before stepping over him, sword still in hand. "You killed my best friends." I glared as Techno watched as always, nonchalant. "You killed my best friends!" "It's my job, kid." "Fuck you." Techno swung his axe idly, "as an assassin, I get that more than you'd think." He sighed, "wanna get this started?" "Oh I want this more than just started." I scoffed, "I want you dead." "You can try." --- 100 views - 2021-11-12Complete
Bitten {Benchtrio Zombie Apocalypse AU}
It didn't hurt as much as Ranboo was expecting, getting bitten by the zombie. Or at least that's what he thought as he collapsed on the floor of the house he and his friends had been hiding out in. He could see Tubbo and Tommy above him, shouting for him not to give up. Ranboo forced his gun into Tubbo's hand, "Do it... please." Tubbo shook his head, tears streaming down his face. Tommy yelled something about a cure, how he needed to repay Ranboo for saving him. Ranboo smiled softly. How lucky he was to have such great friends. And how unfortunate it was that he will be their downfall.Complete
