As a private investigator, Wilbur Soot has had a lot of potential clients walk into his office. Many walk away, as his prices are too high for them to afford. When a young boy walks into his office, he is intrigued. The boy was in a ratty white and red T-shirt and torn up pants, he couldn't be more than six. Reminded Wilbur a little too much of himself when he was younger. The boy places a few coins and some buttons in Wilbur's hand. His older brother had gone missing.
Wilbur stared at the boy's sad-looking eyes. How could he say no? It wasn't too long ago when he was in the same situation. Wilbur gives the coins and buttons back to the child, along with a small wad of cash. He agrees to find his brother, letting the kid stay at his office while he begins the hunt, scouring the internet, looking for any signs of the boy's disappearance.
The clues lead him to a reclusive casino owner with a "devil-may-care" attitude. But something is off. It's just too neat when all fingers point to him. However, Wilbur can't help but question his motives as he finds himself drawn to the casino owner in ways he's never felt before. Can he put aside his own desires to find out if he's really the reason for the boy's brother's disappearance, or will his passion get in the way of doing his job?

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
Why Did You Save Me.....?
Over and over he told himself, "it was never supposed to happen that way, I'm supposed to eat alone, live alone, starve alone, cry alone, DIE alone!!" So he wondered to himself, Why did it happen anyway? Why did faith twist his path? Why did its eyes finally see the terrified little boy Tommy had been all along? This is SBI Royal AU In this story one day on a night like no other, casualties emerged from the darkness, sending Tommy down a spiraling train of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. He was left to fend for himself, deemed an outcast, a troublemaker, and a worthless piece of absolute bullshit. He began to shut everyone out and refused to open his heart up. For him, the reality of life had already hit him. He was born to die. For a young boy like him, accepting that cruel fate was impossible. So what happens when the life of the royal family finds it way into his own? What will become of Tommy? Will he be able to unlock his fragile, loving heart once more? Or will he decide that it's too late to go back? I DO NOT OWN the fan art featured in this story! Those belong to their rightful owners!

Let Us Adore You
"Why?" Tommy sobbed, fingers clinging to the fabric of Philza's suit. Fat globs of tears fell down his cheeks and dripped onto his neck as he was forced down on the couch. "I don't want to be turned, please!" he cried, only for his words to be ignored as he was hoisted onto Philza's lap. Gentle fingers combed through his hair and words of comfort spewed from the vampires lips in a futile attempt to calm him. His tear-filled vision made out a hand that landed gently on his chin, lifting it up and exposing his neck. Not knowing what else to do, he screwed his eyes shut in cruel anticipation of what was to come. OR The SBI take a liking to a certain gremlin child and want him to be part of their vampire family. They're willing to make this happen whether he likes it or not. *warning* this gets messed up, if you're sensitive to darker themes I suggest you don't read, please.Complete
How I Met Your Mumza
Based on this tweet from @simpingboisinc on Twitter: "au where techno is mumza's son, Wilbur is Phil's son. They are doppelgangers. Then at an airport one day, Phil accidentally takes techno and mumza takes Wilbur. They don't notice until the planes take off. So they get each other's numbers from their sons and agree to take care of each other's kids until they can meet up, which is in a week because they both have emergencies. So mumza and Phil start texting regularly to check up on their sons, but they also feel a connection. When they meet up, it's a big holy shit, it's my soulmate moment" TLDR: Phil and Kristin tell Tommy the chaotic story of how they met. All credit for the cover art goes to @ vantaasy on twitter. Please please please go give them a like and follow, their work is amazing! Also, if the original artist wants me to remove the cover, I gladly will :)Complete
