Summary
“Tell me everything would have been okay! That Tommy would be happy, that you would stay home more, that you guys would be best fucking friends!

Tell me everything would be perfect.
Tell me I should have died!”

Summary
Tommy remembers the explosion in the cell next to his, a boom that sent the ground rattling and the alarms blaring. It tore up the concrete wall like paper, expanding just enough into Tommy’s cell for him to slip through. And so he did, without a look back, he ran.
The group of men he was following he didn’t know, they were big and tough, all older than him. They crowded into a van waiting outside the prison, over a fence Tommy remembers snagging his sleeve on. Tommy sat down in a seat that was open, everyone was panicking around him, yelling to move, to go, to drive.
Tommy leaned back and he closed his eyes and the car began to jerk forward, moving faster and faster until he could hear the city around him. He remembers a certain pair of brown eyes in the rear view mirror, he turned around with a hand on the back of the passenger's seat and he asked,
“Who the hell are you?”
He remembers the voice was rough, but not mean. He was out of breath, sweat on his forehead and so much emotion in his eyes Tommy couldn’t look anywhere else.

Summary
Tommy’s mouth was open in aghast until he forced it shut, backing up a step from the entrance.
“Techno,” he said slowly, shock reverberating in his hands, they began to shake. He stuffed them in his pockets as his brother appeared next to him. He didn’t speak at first, looking around and pulling a hand to his mouth.
“I think we’ve made it to hell,” Tommy whispered, that was the closest thing he could compare to the sight he was seeing. He took an impulsive step closer to Techno.
“No,” he sputtered, “this is much worse,” Techno admitted with a reluctance that made them both want it to be untrue.
The sky was painted scarlet, it was blood-like how it dripped down the sides of Tommy's vision, closing in like they were trapped inside. The vivid red and orange hued sky was accompanied by thick menacing clouds. They were dark, not different from how they looked on the outside, they were chalky, sparking with the biggest lightning Tommy had ever seen.
Or
Some space shenanigans with the boys. They have had a rocky past, but they are ready to start somewhere new. Somewhere where they will be safe and Tommy won't be alone.
Tommy has a good feeling about this time around.

Summary
His everyday schedule was simple.
He would pull himself from the water, washing up on a beach with broken chairs and torn umbrellas. His hands would be shaking as he counted the wrinkles on his fingertips from being in the water for too long. (He never did know why he woke up there every day)
He would push himself up the hill, past the beach, past the Christmas tree, and past tnret. He would shiver against his wet clothing, grimacing at the way it brushed his skin the wrong way. His clothes were tattered, immersed with dirt and grime and sweat and blood. He didn't mind it after a while, and it's been a while, a long while.

Summary
Finally, the gunfire stopped.
The withers were dead. Smoke still pervaded the air around him, rising from the rubble. L'manberg was gone. It was gone, all of it. Tommy's ears were still ringing, he lifted his hands to his head as he whipped around. Sounds of screams and cries were running through the hills, through the crevices of broken buildings. His eyes watered and his legs wobbled. People were walking away behind him, giving up. He saw Techno disappear over the horizon, Phil close behind, neither of them spared a look back.

Another lore oneshot, this time it's post manberg vs pogtopia war. Chaos ensues.

Summary
Suddenly something crashed through the wall of the store, rubble flying in every direction and a large slab of brick slid right to his feet. Not something, someone. A man lay seemingly unconscious in front of him. Black hair splayed on the crumpled concrete and his body jammed in an awkward position.
Tommy backed up a step, his gaze going straight for the hole in the wall but it was crowded with dust, nothing visible past the threshold. Blood trickled by his feet from the man’s head. A gun was held in his holster at his waist, Tommy didn’t think twice before grabbing it.
He then backed up more, holding out the gun in front of him shakily. Tommy’s never used a gun before.
He just stared at the man on the floor as his eyes pried open. They glowed with a fire that sent Tommy’s blood boiling. Turning his whole body on fire, his breaths quickening. Then the villain's face twisted in confusion, looking Tommy up and down.
He leaned up from the ground, bracing himself with an arm. “Gods, they're using kids now?” He grumbled underneath his breath.

Summary
Dawn was approaching, soon enough the sun would be high, too far away to emit any warmth, but it would provide light. Behind the persistent clouds that is. Especially today, every year the sun would refuse to show itself, maybe it too was afraid.
For now, people huddled in their houses, sitting, reveling in the time before the sun called it time to come out. They waited, even in sleep, the day seemed to be a ticking time bomb. Hearts beating only to countdown the moment until the odds decided your fate.
Wilbur stared at the ceiling, grimacing in the bitter air the night provided. He couldn’t sleep, he never could. His own breaths were only a reminder how in a couple of hours they could be labeled limited.
He swallowed thickly, trying to close his eyes once more before he had to go.
Then screams rang out, high and gut-wrenching, prolonging until they turned into a rattled cry. Screams were no uncommon sound in district 12, but he knew those screams anywhere, those belonged to his brother.

Summary
Tommy groaned, bringing his hands to his face. A breath of silence flooded in and out of the small room. Then he finally gave an explanation, “He was making fun of my picture, that's why I was mad, I know it’s dumb but I-” He stopped himself.
Wilbur and Techno didn’t push.
Tommy looked up, blinking unsurely, he took a steadying breath. “I guess I was proud of this one”.
Wilbur smiled, matching his twin. Neither of them spoke, asking Tommy a silent question. To which Tommy responded by reaching into his coat pocket.
He slowly pulled out a small piece of crumpled paper and handed it to Wilbur. He then leaned back, folding in on himself.

Tommy is an anxious artist, just begging to get through this week. He had an art show Friday and on top of all of that, his brother was coming to see him; whom he hadn't talked to in years. He just needed to find inspiration for his painting, which led him to rediscover some childhood memories. Some that had to do with his lost brother, the one who ran away and never returned.

Summary
Tommy remembers when he would just sit with Wilbur and talk. Wilbur wouldn't have to be taller or louder, sometimes, Tommy remembers, he would just let Tommy talk and he would listen.
But it's not like that now. Now every time they talk it's politics, its threats against Dream or discussing stratagem for the next war. Tommy wonders how many wars there will have to be for Wilbur to get what he wants.
Tommy has a feeling that he won't rest until his enemies are below the sole of his boot, or, the worse option, until he's lying 6 feet deep underneath the rubble of his legacy.

Summary
He was finally home.
Home with someone he might call brother. Who stayed by his side, who supported him and would take him to the end of the world. Tommy was happy, even with his scars, he thought that this might be a new start. Those scars were fading. Hearts were mending.
Listening to Techno talk in the bunker, eyes set on a sword he would call his own when he would defeat Dream for his discs, he saw him as...well as his hero.
Hearing the refreshing excitement in his voice, he knew it was time for well deserved revenge, and this time he had an ally.
Looking outside, the snow fell with a ferocity that no longer scared Tommy. Snowflakes sparkled in the sunlight, the nickname Theseus in the air, and his friend at his side. Everything was perfect.

Summary
“It’s alright,” Wilbur reassured, trying to keep the boy talking as he leaned back against the counter across from Tommy. “What happened?”
“My parents were fighting again,” he stated simply. He shifted uncomfortably atop the counter, trying to wrap the coat around him more with only one hand. “And I don’t know why,” He kept fidgeting with the coat, becoming more and more frustrated. “And-” His eyes began to water, his small voice shrinking more.
Wilbur moved from his reclined spot to help him, reaching for his cup. “And now Christmas is ruined!” He exclaimed, near startling Wilbur.
Wilbur, knowing now that Tommy’s Christmas didn’t have a great start, he was determined to fix it.

Summary
Then there came a sound of understanding and a short statement from where Tommy forgot to check if the door was locked, “I get it now,”
Tommy spun around, hiding his hands behind his back trying not to flinch at the way his raw skin rubbed against his coat. His eyes fell on Techno who was leaning against the doorframe.
“What?” Tommy said, his voice quieter than he intended.
“I get it now,” He repeated himself as he stalked closer, “the bruises,” He clarified, “but if I may be so bold,”
He had to tilt his head up slightly to see Techno’s face. “Your form is way off,” he contended shortly but not rudely.“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Tommy lied, rather badly as well. Still, he tried to walk around Techno, tried to get out the door and away from this conversation.
But before he could slip away Techno caught one of his hands. He had to bite his tongue to not let out a wail at the sudden force on his wounds. Tommy tried to tug his hand away but was met with Techno’s brown eyes looking at him and telling him to stop.

Summary
The day Tommy arrived it was raining.
The doorbell rang. Wilbur’s eyes drifted to the time: 9:18, it read.
“I'm coming!” He shouted bitterly. He sucked in a breath, trying to compose himself before he opened the door with a strong grip.
The door swung open to reveal a blonde who was hugging a bag to his chest. His hair was flat with rainwater and rain dripped down his thin figure. The storm thundered behind him, thick gray clouds covered the sky, but also lingered in his unfriendly blue eyes.
But the ice in his eyes didn’t melt away once he saw Wilbur, they only sent icicles into his unexpecting heart. Wilbur’s anger was washed away, replaced with utter confusion. Wilbur braced the doorframe, shock hitting him with enough force to rip his breath away as he said, “Tommy?”
or;
Tommy hasn't been home for four years, running from the grief hiding within. Yet, when circumstances force him back, he can't help but fall back into their arms. But, things have changed more than he thought in four years, rumors of death and drugs are in the air. Tommy has a feeling he's at fault for all of this, so he's determined to fix it. But first, he has to find out what really happened.
