    Summary

    “I’m not tired,” Tommy complains into Phil’s fur, but Phil isn’t having it. He simply purrs in apology and licks the tangles out of Tommy’s curls.

    It’s silent long enough that Phil finally starts to give into the haze of sleep.

    Then, “It’s cold, Phil.”

    It is. It is cold.

    Phil prays his own fever is enough to keep Tommy warm through the night.

    ---

    It's hard for Phil, a cat, to look after a young toddler. It's even harder as the pair lives on the streets, getting colder by the day as winter steadily approaches.

    Then the pair get picked up by a tall witch, and his tusked familiar. In the midst of a magical home, Phil learns about himself, cares for Tommy, and struggles with a sense of guilt and self-worth.

    Summary

    (inspired by the many tiktok comments under heartbreaking mlm ship edits going "do they know it's legal now?" I'm here to propose that no, Bucky does not know it's legal now. nobody really talks about the legalization of gay marriage anymore when you really think of it. it doesn't change too much but it's kind of funny that he just...doesn't know).

    A short-ish getting together fic where Sam convinces Bucky to go on a mini roadtrip through Texas, through which he finally finds out that gay marriage is legal.

    Summary

    In the Titan's Head, there is a place only a few people know about. It is a mass graveyard - a dumping ground for all that the former Emperor deemed a failure. Skeletons piled onto each other, hundreds of them or so it seems, down here in the darkness of the pit. It was kept a secret for centuries. But now, the few who know aren't eager to keep the secrets anymore.

    On what feels like a random day, two children tell the adults what they know. What follows after are revelations that nobody is prepared to handle. But what other choice do they have - somebody had to fix this mess.

    Or, King and the Collector tell everybody about the pit with the skeletons of the Golden Guards. Things escalate from there.

    Summary

    “My gold.” Techno spoke, thousands of voices echoing in his words. Whispering and chattering. His calloused hand reaching up, dragging along the blood that was dripping from Tommy’s neck. Dripping down and burning away in the flames consuming the roots that held him.

    The same hand that had fed him and given him shelter, as involuntary as it had been, was gently placed at the back of his skull. Techno’s thumb pulling across the golden earring that now felt like an anchor dragging him below the surface of a pool of magma.

    Wearing Techno’s face, the Blood God grinned at him.

    Tommy did not regret punching him.

    ***

    Td;lr: Tommy unwillingly takes refuge into the hold of a banished god.

    Summary

    The bell on the door rang as it was pushed open. It was too early for Technoblade’s next appointment, so— without even glancing up— he said, “No walk-ins.”

    The footsteps didn’t stop until they reached the counter. Someone cleared their throat. Technoblade raised his eyes to find a teenager glaring at him over the counter.

    “No walk-ins,” Technoblade repeated, bored.

    “I’m not here for a tattoo.”

    “Well, we don’t do anything else,” Technoblade said dryly. This was the most entertainment he’d gotten all day, save for the long appointment he’d had that morning with Dream, one of his most consistent customers.

    “You need help,” the kid said with conviction.

    Technoblade arched his brow. “I wasn’t aware of that.”

    “Well, you do.”

    Technoblade examined him critically. The kid was tall but clearly young— the kind of customer Technoblade would double-check the ID of. “Are you even old enough to be in here?”

    The kid ignored the question. “You need help around here. And I need an apprenticeship.”

     

    Or, Technoblade is a tattoo artist and Tommy seeks an apprenticeship. The ink of their lives bleed together in unexpected ways.
