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?

~ Permantly Discontinued ~ DSMP Spy au ~ 'A puff of smoke was blown from the raven-hair's mouth as he dropped the cigarette stub clasped between his teeth onto the ground, crushing it beneath his feet. "That break-up broke both of us, Karl." He muttered, turning to face the timid brunette sitting beside him, his legs dangling over the roof carelessly as he watched the sun set. "I know" Was the murmured response, his sharp glare not being met. "I don't know where you got that photo," He spoke, standing and turning to watch a bright sun dip behind skyscrapers where it resided for the night before showing up the next morning as if it'd never left.

Home? ||DreamwastakenxOC||
"What do we have here?" He said as he crouched down to my level. "Why are you running from l'manburg? Are you a citizen there?" He asked as I stared into the eye holes of his mask. "Who. Are. You." He stated, a little more impatient than before. "I don't know." In which a young twenty year old girl finds herself with no memory of her life and a stranger with a green hoodie and a white smiling mask helps her find her way. There will be no smut, only slight fluff. Also there is swearing and violence so don't read if that makes you uncomfortable. The cover art is mine, but all the other art in the book is from various places like tiktok and Instagram. I'm going to try to make the story as close to what happens on the smp as possible, but for plot purposes there may be some gaps. 11/23/2022: #2 - dreamwastakenxoc 3/22/2023: #4 - dreamsmpwar 5/15/2022: #1 - jschlatt 10/3/2022: #1 - tommyinit 10/20/2022: #1 - lmanburg Started: 1/19/2022 Ended: 8/5/2024Complete
Best Beloveds
"Like... you seriously want to marry me? Tommyinnit? The annoying brat who got himself exiled fucking twice? Who's died?" Tommy said skeptically. It was too good to be true. "Oh, Tom. Don't talk of yourself like that. You're strong and we want to help you." Tubbo said, staring at the blond. "We love you, Tommy. We do want to marry you." Ranboo said, offering the ring. OR Beeduo ask (read: force) Tommy to join the marriage and they go around causing chaos and mending broken relationships. Canon divergent splitting from actual lore when Tommy got out of prison. Still sorta sticks with canon. Art on cover done by https://senvurii.tumblr.com/ Also published on Ao3 Text-To-Speech Audio! *able to listen instead of read!* about like everything: i no longer like the dsmp, most of the creators are in some kind of controversy or do something terrible and i dont want to be associated to it anymore. i am proud of how far my writing has come and i know this story in particular was popular, and i am very sorry that i never managed to finish it before everything went to shit. i will leave this up because it was one of my first fics and the fact that i worked so hard on it. this is never to be updated again and i will not edit anything on this fic after this note.Complete
Serenity's Garden//Dsmp
After a war that has gone for centuries, King Philza of Zariya decides to invite his enemy kingdom to sign a peace treaty. But it would only make sense if that King brought his own son to see Zariya. Beautiful friendship blossoms between Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo as they conspire in secret. They don't know exactly what happened that night, but they know for sure there was foul play. King Philza and his eldest son, Wilbur, immediately jump to conclusions and accuse the Kingdom of Fremoor for committing theft of a sacred artifact. Now, it's a race against time. The three princes must find the courage and bravery to do the impossible to save their home and possibly, all of humanity. Wilbur is only months away from being crowned king... but is that what he truly wants? Tommy is the youngest of the family. Always looked down upon. If only there was something he could do to show everyone that he deserves as much praise as his family. Tubbo, the charismatic fellow who sometimes feels like his role of middle child is a little to literal. He dreams of greater things. Sure, being a prince and living in comfort was amazing. But he wanted to see the world beyond just fancy balls and elegant clothing. ///// This is a royal AU Sbi/Benchtrio centered fic. !!!THIS WILL BE TAKEN DOWN AND/OR EDITED IF ANY BOUNDARIES ARE CROSSED!!!

He eventually makes it to a city. Large buildings are fallen over and the ones still standing have busted out windows and/or have smoke and fire coming from them. He can hear distant screams and yells and gunshots. There are people passing him that are strange. They're badly injured and walk slightly hunched over. Some are missing limbs, and some are missing and eye, or both. They don't even appear to be alive to the boy. They look his way but don't mind him. Tommy is confused and scared. He can slightly remember this place to be his once home, and it makes him upset that's it's gone to such shit, and scared by everyone's screams and the fires and the fighting, and mostly, the fact that some people are eating each other. And why are people running from the boy when they see him? ~~~ TW// Cussing Blood Gore Fighting/violence Cannibalism Guns Weapons Injuries etc... ~~~ Started: January 14, 2023 Finished: January 15, 2023Complete

Benchtrio's Amazing Guide to City Living | Ft. The Hermits & SBI
Grian always bursts into their little, cozy attic right before things can go terribly wrong. Like that one time Ranboo had wanted to cook dinner. Tommy is pretty sure Grian had been asleep at the time of the occasion, judging by how messed up his blond hair was, yet he ran up two floors -four sets of stairs, fifteen steps each- and then burst through the door with a shout of "NO, DON'T DO IT!!!". It had been an eventful night that one, ending with a scolding and a very much grounded Ranboo. Which is weird, because Grian isn't Ranboo's parent, he is just their neighbor. And, at this point, it's just the norm for Grian to know what they are up to. The trio's theory is that the avian has a sixth sense or something. "Oh, hey Tommy and Tubbo!" Grian greets as he bends to pick up the fallen, heavy-looking boxes. "You're looking chipper today. Work went well, I'm guessing?" "Oh, Hell yeah! We mugged a guy!" "You did what-" Or: In which fic we explore the way Benchtrio can bring death and destruction to an innocent city, cause chaos and endear themselves to heroes and villains alike. Very fluffy, very crack-y. Or, or: In which Tommy is a raccoon, Tubbo is a bee and Ranboo is a very exhausted enderman --------------------- Inspired by teacupi's "TommyInnit's Guide To Being A (Highly Successful) Wingman" on ao3!
