    Summary

    Once there was a cruel king that ruled with violence.

    Once there was a coup organized by the king's younger son and most trusted advisor.

    Once there was a curse: for the son to never step foot upon his father's land again and for the advisor and his family to learn obedience to their king if they couldn't learn loyalty.

    And now there is a boy, cursed by his great-great grandfathers actions to always be obedient to the royal line, and now he's been taken in by the same royal family that cursed his bloodline.

    Tommy's curse is not a kind one. His family loves him, but they occasionally make mistakes. (At least... Tommy hopes they're just mistakes.) Will that love prove itself stronger than the curse pulling them all towards an ending their ancestors designed or is his fate inevitable.

    Summary

    "It’s evening. Eight thirty-two p.m. The sun would be setting outside, washing the landscape in fiery colors that he hasn’t seen for weeks. Or months. He’d grieve, but the endless, empty void of limbo suits him better these days.

    Tommy can’t count the times he’s done this. He wakes up, just as bloodsoaked as he was in death, and cradles the clock in his hands like it will save him.

    Eleven thirty-five a.m., he read with an ache in his chest where a sword used to be.

    Three eighteen p.m., he read with blurry eyes, vision still swimming from the phantom damage to his skull.

    Five forty-nine a.m., he read after an eternity of trying to summon the strength to move his arm, white and pale as a sheet. Dream wanted to see just how much blood was in his body. Tommy doesn’t know the answer; he wasn’t awake long enough to see it through."

    OR:

    Dream escapes Pandora's Vault and makes good on his promise to kill Tommy and revive him over and over and over and over and over--

    Summary

    “Dream is tired. He’s tired of the tension between his friends, tired of preparing for battles, and tired of waking up in the morning with hours missing from his memory, no recollection of what he did the day before. Most of all, though, he is tired of the ever-present, watchful eye of something dark that whispers to him, chills his blood, and will not leave him alone.

    Apparently, the war starts without him.

    He wakes up, and there’s clearly been fighting. A cold fog grips his mind and refuses to offer any memory of the battle he apparently played a leading role in. Dream doesn’t know what’s happening to him.”

    ——

    A malicious entity sinks its claws into the server and its admin completely unnoticed, until it’s too late for Dream to do anything but watch.

    His friends barely recognize the person they used to call a friend, and it takes them a while to notice things are very wrong.

    Summary

    “Tom, wait,” Phil says, fingers curling around Tommy’s arm. Tommy barely catches himself from ripping away. Phil frowns. “Kiddo. What’s going on?”

    Tommy feels Techno and Wilbur staring at him. He burns.

    “Nothing you’d care about.”

    Phil flinches.

    ~
    or, after Phil takes in Wilbur and Techno, Tommy feels unloved. He spirals.

    Summary

    "Don't do anything to him," Tommy manages, heartbeat throbbing and throbbing. "Please."

    Wilbur frowns, but it's Techno who steps forward. "Tommy, he's not going to do anything," Techno tells him cautiously. "You don't need to worry, alright?"

    To you, Tommy would say, if he was stronger. He's not going to do anything to you.

    But he doesn't. Tommy keeps his mouth shut—whatever it takes to stay.

     

    When Techno and Wilbur Soot-Watson anger a bully, it shouldn't be an issue. They are as untouchable as they can get, for students anyway.

    It's unfortunate that Tommy, their foster brother, isn't. Being their soft spot, it only makes sense that he becomes the next target.
