    Summary

    [a rewritten version of this book will be posted soon]

    sans brings home a machine (one that’s already ruined his life more than once, by the way.) it malfunctioned, tore holes through reality, and dragged in his counterparts from places that he shouldn’t have business knowing existed.

    so when the machine activates on its own once more, he heaves a sigh and slumps down, mentally kicking the bucket. nothing surprises him anymore; the machine convulses like it always does and he expects another version of him to tumble out. he gets his speech ready and—

    oh. it’s a human.

    Summary

    “Why do you keep coming here?” Wilbur asks him.

    “I dunno,” he says, instead of a hundred other things. “Why don’t you ever fucking leave?”

     

     

    Tommy and Wilbur fell apart a long time ago, and there was never any time to mourn the pieces of what they were.

    But here's the most important thing: Tommy doesn't give up on the people he cares about.

    (Or: on grieving, graves, a past that refuses to let go, and learning to look forward at long last.)

    Summary

    He doesn’t look in the mirror beyond a cursory glance in the mornings as he’s dragging himself out of bed, just long enough to be sure that his veneer of professionalism is holding, because frankly, he has nothing if he doesn’t have that. No one’s called him on his slowly slipping standards just yet, and he intends to keep it that way.

    But this morning, his gaze lingers just ever-so-slightly longer than he normally allows. And then, his vision catches on—something.

     

    Wilbur wakes up one morning to find white in his hair. This is—irritating, for several reasons, but that's all it is. An annoyance. A distraction.

    There's nothing deeper at work here. There's nothing wrong at all.

    (Or, the stresses of the presidency give Wilbur a white streak of hair earlier in canon, and somehow, this serves as the cry for help he can never bring himself to make.)
