    Summary

    “What did you do?” Phil asked his middle child making his way into the living room.
    “I said it wasn’t me!” Techno yelled after him.
    The scream turned into big dramatic cries and there was another voice aggressively shushing the first. Phil emerged through the doorway connecting the kitchen and the living room to find his youngest child crying on the floor.
    Tommy’s mouth was glowing blue and there was a matching trail down his chin. The same substance was staining his fingers and shirt. In his tiny fist were two empty glow stick tubes, bite marks on both.
    Wil was hovering over him trying to get him to quiet down but once he saw Phil in the doorway he stood up straight and hung his head. Phil shot him a look that said ‘We will talk about this in a second.’

    Summary

    “We tried everything we could but Techno you knew he was sick.”

    Techno is silent.

    “Techno please, work with me here,” Phil pleads. “The kid doesn’t have anywhere else to go right now, it’s only going to be for a few months.”

    “And it’s only been a year since Wilbur died,” Techno spat out. “You’re already taking another damn kid into the house.”

    “It’s not like that—” Phil is quick to say, but Techno is done listening. He storms his way over to the backdoor, throwing it open even as his father follows.

    “Techno wait please don’t—”

    His words come too late. Techno isn’t even halfway down the back porch steps before he slips into his fur, hands and feet becoming paws and nimble limbs jumping down the last few steps.

    Or, a year after Wilbur's death, Phil takes in a new foster kid. Techno isn't pleased, but slowly it's this golden kid that shows him how to love again. Maybe life is worth living after all.

    Summary

    A flash of white engulfs them both, lightning blinding for a second, but Tommy doesn’t miss the way the soldier’s hold on the pome of his sword tightens.

    One second, two, three, four,
    Five.

    Thunder shakes the soil they’re in as if it was an earthquake, and Tommy notes the tiniest, smallest, most subtle of flinches the soldier tries to withhold within his armor.

    As small as it is, something easy to miss, Tommy doesn’t.

    -
    Or, Tommy is left under care of one of his guards when his father leaves for a diplomatic mission, and Techno, being an emotionally constipated soldier, doesn't know what to do when the prince takes a sudden interest on him after one fatidical thunderstorm.

    Summary

    His name was Tommy Innes, and he was born to touch the stars.

    Of course, touching the stars was going to have to wait, because he'd lost that dream the moment his parents had died when he was ten years old—the moment he had watched that starship explosion and felt a bit of his heart die with them. He'd lost that dream when he was transported to prison and then to a place called Pogtopia.

    He'd lost that dream when he watched hundreds of children starve on the streets of Pogtopia. When he and two friends become the lone survivors of the Red Planet's Genocide. When they were rescued, and he was captured again.

    But maybe—maybe one day, he would regain that dream. Maybe he would hunt down the mass murderer that had executed his friends and gain his revenge—but that day was not now, and now he sat in a prison and stared at the faraway stars.

    Perhaps there would be people that he could call family again. People he would see again—people whom he had lost years ago. One day.

    Because he was an Avian, born to be forever alone amongst broken stars.

    And Avians did not fall unless they wanted to.

    Summary

    Tommy had always hated hybrids.

    Not for no reason of course. He wasn’t that much of a jerk.

    It was just that he had never met one that wasn’t rude to him in one way or another. He hadn’t met one who wasn’t quick to hate him, disregard him, or just generally make him feel like crap.

    They also seemed to be at the root of many of his traumatic experiences.

    That was why Tommy wasn’t very pleased to be in this car right now. He wasn’t exactly thrilled to be headed to house number 14, one that Sam had told him was a family of hybrids.

    ———

    Or, Tommy has been in foster care for most of his life and hates hybrids as a result of multiple bad houses. But when he arrives at his fourteenth house… he begins to heal and realizes that he might be one of the types of people he grew to hate.
    Learning, healing, and found family begin.
