    Summary

    “Why?”

    For a split second, all Tommy wants is to be able to see his own breath in front of him again. He gets the sense this is his true hell—being haunted by these little moments forever, tormented by how badly he wants to live in the past. “Why? Techno, I told you why I came.” He frowns insecurely, arms crossed over his stomach. “What d’you mean, why?”

    “Why me?” Technoblade demands, and it tears Tommy apart to know that he’ll never have an answer for him.

    or: what if Tommy died in the prison for good—and only one person could see his ghost?

    Summary

    Everyone in Manburg knew about Jester; the thief who humiliated the authorities and robbed places blind.

    There were stories about Nemesis; supplying his fellow vigilantes in the poor region of L’Manburg and not being afraid to fight against heroes.

    The rumors in Las Nevadas say the Syndicate has Shaman under their protection; a healer who can fix and cure anything, and now works for the worst of the worst.

    Nobody would have suspected they were all the same person.

    And Tommy didn’t think getting revenge would get so complicated.

    OR

    After a violent incident, Tommy uses his ability to seal and combine items to get his revenge. While his quest for retribution goes on - as lies are amassed while bloody battles are fought - Tommy gets deeper into the criminal world he thought he was safe from and discovers societal truths he wasn’t prepared for.

    Tommy will have to make hard choices as his antics will have consequences while his powers make him a target. He has to juggle his multiple personas while also dealing with conflicting priorities when he somehow befriends the people he was planning to exploit.

    Summary

    If there's one thing you learned coming from a background like Tommy's it's that suicide isn't really a craving for death. It's the desire for release, for freedom, for escape. He knew that, logically he knew that, but it didn't quite matter when he stood at the top of that pillar staring down at Logstedshire's remains. Death wasn't usually the answer, but this situation felt so permanent in a way that made it feels like the only answer. So he stepped off. And he fell. Down, and down, and a lot farther down than his pillar was supposed to be.

    Tommy was far from the first to have thought this way. Far from the first to accidentally glitch himself onto another server. He might have a little more fight in him though than most cases. When he lands in the ocean and not the sand, he finds himself surrounded not by the people he wants but perhaps the support system he needs. Whether he knows it or not.

    Summary

    Tommy sat on the light brown bench, a dark shadow cast over the sky. Twenty minutes. That was all that was left until midnight.

    His seventeenth birthday, just twenty minutes away. He could make it until then. Twenty minutes until he was the same age as Tubbo, then he could let go.

    (He'd be gone by the nineteenth minute.)

    •••

    Or: Tommy realizes he has no one left to spend his seventeenth birthday with, so he decides he doesn't want to attend it either.

    Suddenly, he notices that the ocean had never been so clear to him, the bright blue illuminated by the night sky. Like the blue of the L'Manberg flag, or the blue of Tubbo's presidential suit.

    •• on hiatus, I will be back soon tho:]
