    Summary

    Phil sits at Techno’s bedside and worries.
    Wilbur woke him up barely past midnight, sobbing and shaking, saying Techno had a seizure and he’s not waking up, begging for help.
    Techno still hasn’t come around. Ponk conducted a neuro exam in his room, and he didn’t wake up, didn’t respond. Ponk moved him to the medical bay and did another exam, and Techno still remained unresponsive.
    Techno was doing well. He wasn’t okay, but he was safe, he was responding to Kristin, and now…

    Summary

    “This is Cyrena,” their father says. His expression is oddly pinched. “She’s come to… to perform a ritual to help you both prepare for Wilbur’s departure.”
    Techno swallows, nervousness prickling through their bond. His, mostly. Wilbur squeezes his hand reassuringly.
    They kneel side-by-side, staring at the woman, confusion and anxiety flowing between them. She begins to speak, in a language Techno doesn’t understand. And then-
    Pain rips through Techno’s chest. He chokes, gripping at it, it hurts so much-
    Beside him, Wilbur flinches, opening his mouth in confusion.
    Techno screams as the bond is prised out of his heart, the horrible burning world-shaking pain sending him toppling into blackness.

    Summary

    Phil gently moves his thumbs in circles over Techno’s wrists, smiling when his kid’s gaze focuses again. “Hey,” he murmurs. “Still doing okay, Techno?”
    Techno blinks at him, confusion gradually clearing. “Phil.”
    “Right here. You’re just fine,” Phil says soothingly.
    Techno doesn’t fight today. This is good. He’s never fully the old Techno, not since the kidnapping and the seizure, but he has good days and bad days. On good days- like today- he’s somewhat cognizant of his surroundings, he follows instructions without fussing. On worse days-
    They haven’t had a truly bad day in a while, thank god.

    Summary

    “In our talks, Tommy voiced a want of his that I encouraged him to indulge in. Have you ever heard of age regression?” The therapist asked.

    “Uh, somewhat. It's like, when you think you're a kid, right?”

    “In a sense, yes. Tommy has repeated the want of being a kid again. I believe allowing him to explore that kind of mindset will allow him to feel as if he's safe again and will allow him to heal over time. Provided he is given the care he needs. While I can provide a safe place to talk and strategies to help him, he needs you as well. Tommy needs someone to take care of him.”

    “I think I can do that,” Wilbur said, nodding. “I’ve already been trying to make him feel safe with me. I’d do anything to help him feel safe again.”

    ----

    Tommy is kidnapped and tortured. When he's found, Wilbur has to help him put the pieces back together.

    Summary

    Techno barely heard the door to his room open. (Screw you, past him, for forgetting to lock it.) He doesn't dare to look up from the blanket, presently the only thing helping him save face.

    “Are you dying in there?” a raspy voice—one evidently belonging to someone who just woke up—asks.

    It's more of a fact than a question to Techno. Perhaps he really is dying, but that wouldn't be very on brand of him.

    Somewhere in the recesses of his mind, Techno registers his name being called by his brother, Wilbur.

     

    OR

     

    It's a sick night for Techno. Wilbur finds him just in time.

    Summary

    “It's alright, sunshine,” Wilbur whispered to him. “Talk to me. What's wrong?”

    Tommy knew he had to keep things short in case people heard him. It also didn't help that his brain had already regressed and thoughts were becoming harder to piece together.

    “Want daddy,” was what he managed to whisper back.

    -------

    Tommy age regresses in the middle of a convention and wants Wilbur's attention.

    Tommy is sick, and it freaks Wilbur out. What freaks him more is when Tommy tells him this is normal.

    Summary

    Tommy, a piglin hybrid, has been through too many foster homes.

    Often, they were bad ones. Pulling on his tail, ears, hair. Making him shave down his tusks and hooves, clipping his ears.

    Abuse.

    He'd seen it all.

    But never this. Never this, specifically.

    Never a full household, a full sounder of piglin hybrids. That was definitely new. But it seemed that were missing one key role.

     

    A runt. And Tommy was one.

    Summary

    Tommy doesn't think he can keep going. But that's okay, because his plan is just about to go into action. And if all goes right, he won't be alive to celebrate his twelfth birthday.

     

    (Or, Tommy is horribly traumatized and tries to commit die but his family doesn't know. And he might die. He might not. It might even be worse than that. I guess you'll have to read if you want to find out. :] )

    Summary

    Tommy presses the tip of the pencil to his notebook, watching as it shakes.

    Wilbur doesn’t know anything- Tommy knows his limits; If he needed sleep, he would sleep. If he needed something, he’d do it. He’s got to work for this, and he’s ready to. He’s been working on this for weeks, and he won’t give up now, not when he’s so close.

    He can cry until his eyes are dry, kick until his legs are broken and scream until his voice is hoarse, but no matter what, he will be enough.

    Or: Tommy burns himself out by studying and reaches his breaking point, featuring maximum crimeboys. it’s the brothers.

    Summary

    "Ready?" Wilbur breathed out.

    "We might die. Have our atoms split into a million points in time." Techno said.

    "Have you so little faith in me?" Wilbur whispered, clutching the watch tighter, his hand aching to press the rustic button that would take him to where they needed to go.

    Summary

    "Eclipse really just couldn't be bothered, could he?" Firefly continues, laughing like he's just said the funniest thing in the world. Schlatt frowns, irritated, and clicks his tongue in displeasure. "I don't know, man. Have you ever considered that we, unlike you, might have actual lives?" He returns, raising an eyebrow pointedly. Firefly flinches back like he's been burned. Hilarious, really.

    Schlatt chucks the vial at Firefly, and it explodes right before it can hit the hero's face.

    Immediately, Firefly starts screaming, clawing at his eyes as the lavender cloud dissapears. Schlatt takes the opportunity to pull out his phone, opening Wilbur's contact.

    Or; Wilbur forgoes a fight to take care of his sick kid.

    Summary

    "Are you outside?" Tommy questions, attention drawing away from the show once more. "Mhm."

    "Why?" Tommy asks, reaching for the remote to pause Murdoch. "Because you, my dove, aren't going to bed, so I'm coming over there, and ensuring you actually go to sleep." Wilbur tuts, the wind almost swallowing the words. Tommy has a feeling that Wilbur, who already walks insanely fast, is speedwalking.

    Tommy huffs, flopping onto his back again.

    "You can't make me do jack shit." Tommy protests, tracing shapes into the ceiling with his eyes.

    Or; There isn't enough plot for a summary. It's fluff, they're sappy, that's all you really need to know.

    Summary

    By the time Wilbur actually comes to look for him the water has become uncomfortably cold, but Tommy is too tired to do anything about it.

    "Tommy." Wilbur sighs, staring down at him with his hands on his hips. Tommy glares at him half heartedly before closing his eyes again, resting his cheek against the inside of the sink.

    Wilbur picks him up by the scruff of the neck, hefting him out of the water. Tommy lets out a disgruntled meow when he's picked up, but it comes out as more of a squeak.

    The noise of protest is disregarded, Wilbur wrapping him up in a small towel and laying him on his back, cradled in the crook of the man's arm.

    Or; Tommy isn't like other cats, and loves baths. Wilbur decidedly does not.

    Summary

    "That was a valid que-" Niki hits his shoulder again, earning another high five from Techno. Schlatt shrieks, falling over and scrambling away from her. Tommy giggles quietly, masked by the shrieking. Wilbur hears, though, and squeezes him.

    "Why do you hate me?" Schlatt sulks, rubbing his arm.

    "Because you suck." Techno deadpans, and they all go silent, stunned. Tommy screws the lid onto the thermos, shoulders shaking with barely restrained laughter.

    He breaks first, laughing so hard that he falls over, starting a sort of domino effect. Niki breaks into laughter soon after, Wilbur following, and he watches Techno bite his lip, trying to keep his own laughter under control. Schlatt is still too stunned to laugh, gaping at the pinkette.

    Or; Tommy sneaks out and accidently joins a picnic with some friends.

    Summary

    Tapping at his window pulls Wilbur's attention from the book he was reading.

    He looks up, and feels fear squeeze at his heart when he sees just how dark the clouds, that are fast approaching, are. He picks up his phone, unlocking it and scrolling frantically to his weather app.

    Severe Weather Warning.

    Wilbur drops his phone, uncaring as it clatters to the ground harshly, and sprints out of his room. He slams into the opposite wall, pushing off it and racing down the stairs. There's one thought on his mind, and only one.

    Tommy.

    Or; Cat (shifter) Tommy gets caught in a storm, Wilbur panics.

    Summary

    Time slows and stalls and stops in its tracks like a rabbit frozen, or a deer, hoping the stillness will save them from the arrow already cutting through the air. It is ribs expanding, lungs burning, turning all to ice and stone. The moment lasts for a hundred lifetimes and it is gone in the very next beat of Wilbur’s rabbit racing heart.

    “It was never meant to be,” Eret says, and the hands of the clock tick forward, the rabbit turns to run and the arrow finds its home.
