    Summary

    Tommy knows stories — raised on them, lulled to sleep by his parents’ voices beneath the soft glow of his nightlight — and so, he knows how his story ought to end. He is meant to labor until his bones splinter beneath the weight of years, his knees stiff with age, his eyes clouded with cataracts. He is meant to serve as Dream’s soldier boy, loyal as a hound, blood-bound until the master falls — and perhaps even beyond the grave. He is meant to fade into some tired little ending, a boy-shaped shadow lowered nameless into a coffin draped in withered garlands. He is meant to tick down, second by second, toward silence.

    Instead, he stands here, his heart cupped in warm, gentle hands. A heart pink and small and cherished, cradled as though it were something precious. Loved. And the story does not begin with a coronation or a kiss beneath moonlight, no. It begins with blood on the floor of a warehouse.

    That, at the very least, is normal.

    Or: Every other Age Reveal Fic but with a ridiculous amount of cosmic imagery and italics.

    Summary

    There is a truth whispered through generations: people’s hearts are made of many things.

    There is the usual, yes—blood and muscle and fragile tissue. But more, too. Some are built from sadness, carrying the weight only Atlas is said to have known. Others beat with the steadiness of stone, or the brittle ache of bone, calcified and splintering.

    There are hearts of soil, steady and patient. Hearts of ocean—salt-brined, tidal, storm-wracked. Some burn with the loyalty of a hound, or cry out with the voice of a cockatoo, bright-feathered and unquiet. Some are fox-hearted, all sharp teeth and soft fur, cunning stitched into every pulse.

    But, oh — oh, to have a chameleon heart. A heart that shifts and shimmers, molding to its world with every breath. A heart that matches the color of the room, the tone of a voice, the expectation in another’s eyes. Always beating, always changing — never quite settling on its own, never belonging to itself.

    This is the heart the L’Manbergeans have. This is the heart Tommy has. This is the heart that wins.

    Summary

    But fuck, Tommy can be good. Tommy can be Siren's—no, Tommy can be Wilbur’s perfect little charity project. He can do whatever he’s told when he’s told, he can be nice and fucked up when needed and he can obey, and he can be Siren’s for as long as Wilbur is his.

    He knows Wilbur, and he wants to keep this, so he’s got to keep Wilbur interested. He’s got to keep Siren interested. Wilbur likes an argument, likes a fight, but wants to dote. Tommy can do that. Siren, he wants Tommy to be fiery and passionate, but to never question that he’s Siren’s. Siren wants Tommy to never be unsure of who he belongs to, who is the most important person to him. Tommy can do that.

    Siren wants Tommy like a child would want a pretty doll, and Wilbur wants someone that can keep up with him. Tommy isn’t a person to him, but that’s fine. Tommy doesn’t need to be seen as a person, because people take care of their dolls. He needs to be a doll that Wilbur would never get bored of, never get rid of.

    Summary

    This relationship with Wilbur, the way Tommy’s heart jumps when he walks in– definitely not healthy. But Tommy’s not very well-versed in healthy relationships. He knows what they should be, yes– a take and a give, but Tommy is a taker and he’s used to that. A burden for those who can’t handle it.

    (or, my take on the "Dark SBI" trend i've seen going around, except.... well. SBI aren't really the smooth manipulators they want to be. Tommy, on the other hand-)

    Summary

    Tommy glanced at the almost-there-Wilbur, taking in his shifting eyes. The man didn’t sound all that concerned, but Tommy has been beside Wilbur all his life. However little the link actually lets them know about each other, the teen at least knew his tells.

    His eyebrows were furrowed, and his echoed speech was tinted with growing concern. His words bounced off of the none existing walls, and they rang back through Tommy’s ears with screeching worry.

    Tommy stared at the tulip, “Just life stuff,” he weakly gestured to their dream scape with a wave of his hand, “nothing the link will let us talk about.”

    -

    Soulmate AU where you share a dream with your soulmate every night. Tommy… doesn’t have the best home life, but Wilbur won’t ever let him decay in that place.

    Or, Wilbur rescues Tommy from an abusive household because they love each other so much it’s overwhelming :((((
