Tommy has been Fallacy the vigilante for three years.

The name wasn't his choice, but that doesn't change the fact that Tommy is a liar. He can't help it, he can't stop it, but it's always there to haunt him. Because of it, not a single friend has continuously stood by his side. Not until Verity.

Verity is a special case- funny, smart, patient, and a villain. It's hard to justify as a vigilante, but Tommy makes it work. It's worth it to keep his friend.

When a job opens up as an assistant for the heroes, Tommy is sceptical. But a little encouragement goes a long way, so at his friend's insistence, he applies for the impossible to claim job. Little did he or Verity know that the application would be the beginning of their end.

Stress and tension and lies start to build until frustration and grief finally break free. Words are spoken that cannot be unsaid, cracks are created that cannot be healed, and betrayals occur that leave Tommy and the heroes heartbroken and terrified.

Tommy, better known as Theseus in the community, is a vigilante who's only goal is to help get rid of crime in his city. Tommy is known in the media for having flexibility and fast movements, similar to a raccoons. His makeshift suit has raccoon ears on the hood, a black mask that goes over his eyes to resemble a raccoon, and a fluffy tail. Sure, a tail is kind of stupid considering someone could grab in to keep him from running, but it adds to his brand. And he's fast, so it doesn't matter. His weapons? A knife, and discs. No, not actual discs. These discs are sort of like Chinese throwing stars, or whatever they're called. They deal damage, and that's what matters. The heroes; Blade, Angel of Death, and Ghost; are always seeking to catch Tommy and arrest him. Tommy is just trying to help the city. He doesn't know why the heroes want him arrested. When Tommy's landlord of the apartment complex he lives in finds out that Tommy isn't actually 18, and is really 15, he calls CPS and gets Tommy taken to a foster home. Tommy can't fight crime from a foster home without the new family finding out, or can he? But what happens when Tommy finds out that his new family is actually the heroes that seek to arrest him day after day? And what if they find out that he is actually Theseus? ~~~ TW// Cussing Trauma Scars (from restraints) Crime (obviously) Injuries CPS etc... ~~~ I would credit the cover photo but I have no idea who made it. ~~~ Started: December 30, 2022 Finished: December 31, 2022 (WOO WEE! ONE DAY? I SPEED RAN THAT SHI)

This City Never Sleeps At Night - Book 1(?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Being a vigilante is not for the faint of heart. Tommy knows this better than almost anyone. Not only do you have the law after you, you also have both heroes and villains after your ass. Tommy doesn't know which one he hates more. Oh yeah, and there's other vigilantes, including his two closest friends and roommates: Ranboo and Tubbo. Without them, he'd be lost. Hell, he might still be on the streets. But instead, he lives in a dingy apartment with Ranboo and Tubbo, runs from the SBI every night, and lowers the crime rate by nearly 50%. Poggers. Persephone barely remembers her life before her adoptive parents. All she really remembers is explosions, the smell of blood, and TNT. She doesn't know how she got to Lumeneria. She doesn't remember anyone who was in her life. But she does remember being picked up off the streets by two worried-looking adults with red paint(?) on their clothes. And her life isn't exactly normal. Her parents are fucking VIGILANTES! And she wants to be just like them. But when Dream strikes and two trios of valiant vigilantes meet, new alliances will have to be formed in order to survive. But who's really behind Dream's mask? What secrets does he keep? And why did he suddenly convert to villainy? ----- STARTED: June 30, 2024 ENDED: [DOWNLOAD_IN_PROGRESS] ----- HIGHEST RANKINGS: 22nd in #dsmp as of Dec. 4, 2024 3rd in #benchtrio as of Dec. 18, 2024 (Bruhh y'all are too cool)
