    Summary

    It was surprisingly hard to keep a vigilante presence off the radar.
    Somehow, it was when Tommy was using his identity that could literally turn invisible, that he’d been almost immediately clocked by the heroes. He’d really only been just starting to have a presence when the heroes cornered him about it. Surprisingly, instead of attempting arrest, they’d recruited him. And who was he to say no to free access to the hero database and nice bathrooms?
    One power per secret identity, that was his rule, and he still had a couple more up his sleeve. The heroes could have one. As a treat. He was generous like that. He’d just take more care to keep his other identities off the radar.
    Simple.
    If only things worked out as planned. Somehow, it hadn’t taken long for his next vigilante persona to be noticed as well, though not by heroes this time.
    “I hear you talk to ghosts.” Said a deadpan voice.

    --

    Tommy can't help wanting to help, and he keeps getting powers so why not have more than one secret identity, yeah? Hero, vigilante, villain, coffee barista, and maybe one other.

    Or I read so, so many vigilante fics that I caved in and stuffed all of my ideas into one fic.

    Summary

    When Tommy was a child, his family left him. They left -- for better and greater things -- leaving him behind in a great old empty house without a word. So he set their garden on fire, stretched his wings, and flew away. Only after years, ruling desolate lands with a body that can barely contain him, does he hear of them again, and does he find his way home.

    (Wilbur and Technoblade create L'Manberg. Tommy is left behind. He finds himself in 2b2t, and by some miracle, he learns to fight. Then, after wars, after deaths, after destruction and insanity, he finds that his siblings have been shoved into a battle all their own.)

    Summary

    In the middle of the destruction stands a man with pitch black wings big enough to stretch all the way across the wide hallway. And he’s looking straight at Tommy.

    Tommy’s breath hitches in his throat and his knees almost buckle under the weight of his terror. He takes a shaky step backwards, suddenly hoping that Punz would still be after him, but he’s managed to lose the man in the maze of hallways, and now the hybrid looks at him and says something but Tommy can’t hear him over these goddamn sirens and oh god, he just wanted to find Dream–

     

    Or: Tommy, an avian, doesn't know of life outside the laboratory. It's the only home he's ever had. So when Phil breaks in and takes four abused hybrid kids to a safehouse, he's surprised to see that one of them isn't at all happy to be saved.

    (Or: lab-themed sbi hurt/comfort. I'm a sucker for angst with a happy ending.)

    Summary

    Tommy was bullied for being a late-bloomer in the magical world he was born in. Tommy dreams of being on the magic battle field, but he lacks magical abilities. Disregarding the fact he lacks all qualifications, he applies to go to the most prestigious magic combat training school in the country. By going there, Tommy hopes to be like the famous witches he idolizes. Tommy waits in excruciating anxiety for his acceptance letter to arrive.

    or

    The writer has nothing better to do in their free time so why not make a terribly written rendition of mcyts but as witches. (Except somehow people ended up reading and liking it)

    -

    Basically this story is mainly the Dream SMP characters in a fantasy school setting :)
    Tommy centric + mainly SBI & BenchTrio moments

    Summary

    “What’s going to happen to me now?” Tommy whispers quietly. He would rather spend eternity in that hellish limbo than go through being revived again. Being revived was worse than anything he’s been through since things first went to shit. He can’t imagine how much worse it would be a second time let alone again and again and again and-

    “I’m going to send you somewhere else,” Kristen responds. “Somewhere you can heal and be happy.”

    “Does a place like that even exist?” Tommy used to think that was possible. That he could find somewhere to heal from everything he’s been through where he could learn how to be happy again, but now that hope has been smothered to death and buried below bedrock. He’s tried over and over again to move on and heal and be happy, all he wants is to be happy, but the world has continued to fuck him over again and again and he’s lost hope.

    “It does. In another universe.”
    *****
    //TLDR; After Tommy is killed by Dream for the fourth time Kristen decides she’s had enough of watching her youngest son suffer and sends him to another universe that just so happens to have superpowers.
