    Summary

    “New person!” Lala said behind him. “Overworlder!”
    Okay, so that’s why she was running. That was—Technoblade didn’t think their sounder had seen an overworlder since he’d been a shoat, at least. Several different bastion-locations ago. He made an interested sound, untangling the strider’s head-string from the rock.
    “He flew like a ghast!”
    The strider, now freed, nipped the fungus out of his hand and ambled off onto the lava. Bruh.
    “He’s part ghast, and he’s really short, he’s only just a tiny bit taller than me,” Lala said, delighted to be the bearer of so much information. “And his boots say he’s got gold and items to trade both, and he has gold hair and a flat face like a ghast, and he has lots of earrings but they don’t make any sense at all but he looks very rich, and he doesn’t know how to talk at all.”

    Or: First Meetings in the nether, culture clash, and the beginning of a friendship.

    Summary

    Phil and Ranboo stared down at the little row of empty demitasse cups. “What the fuck,” Phil breathed. 

    “So we know the creature isn’t Enderian,” Ranboo said. “Cause it took the water.”

    “It also took the milk, and the plant milk, and the nether spice mix,” Phil said, pointing to the glasses in turn. “And it did it without disturbing the sweetner I put it around it.” He took a deep breath. “And it either did it without moving the glasses, or it fuckin’ put them back where they started.”

    “So it either flies or hovers?” Ranboo said hopefully. “That could be fun.” He considered. “Or really precise jumps.” 

    Phil looked again around the small storage room. There were boxes of cups and lids on the shelves, some dry goods and flimsy wraps for the sandwich station, the hot water heater and an air-monitoring setup from Life Support & Recycling, and not a lot of places to hide. “What the fuck,” he said again. 

    “Yeah, the spice mix is the real kicker,” Ranboo said. He pushed his glasses back up his nose. “That’s going to poison what, 98 percent of species?”

    Summary

    Weapons must be perfect.

    A hidden fault or an unnoticed imbalance in the blade of a sword can be the difference between life and death on the battlefield. A blacksmith is careful with such things, watchful and alert during the forging of a weapon. There can be no imperfections. Certainly not if the weapon is a gift for the Lady of Death and her angel.

    Technoblade's trainers know this, and they shape him to be perfect.

    ~

    OR, child Techno is trained to be a living weapon and is given to Phil and Kristin, who don't realize that he is very much sentient. This causes problems.

    Summary

    “Perfect. Absolutely perfect.” Phil takes a scone, nodding. “Have you taken out any life insurance lately?”
    Techno only laughs. Phil laughs too. They laugh for approximately fifteen seconds. It’s weird.

    Summary

    Techno scooped a couple plates off the couch and put them in a stack by the wall. “So, you found a guy.”
    “I sure did!” Wilbur said. “Go on. Guess where I found said guy.”
    “This is going to sound insane,” Techno said, sitting down.
    “I promise you it can’t be weirder than the truth, after the evening I’ve just had,” Wilbur said. He pulled a towel out of the laundry basket on the coffee table and sat on it. “I promise.”
    “That guy isn’t a historical reenactor, is he,” Techno said.
    “I am really beginning to think he is not, no,” Wilbur said, and put his head in his hands. “Technoblade, what am I going to do?”

    Summary

    The youngling shakes his head, taking the ingot. “No, dad, listen. Do you have any nether gold?”

    Understanding dawns in Phil’s eyes, and he pulls out a different bar. The traders snatch it up before his arm is even fully extended. They don’t even appraise it, just throw him a small bag of ender pearls.

    “Oh. Sweet!” Phil says as he checks what’s in the bag. “Thanks.” He turns to Techno. “See ya ‘round, mate!”

    The youngling gives him a long look before lighting a rocket and taking off, Phil close on his tail.

    Techno watches them go once again, with a pit in his stomach. What did he mean by ‘see you around?'

    Or goddammit Phil, can you not adopt the traumatized piglin just this once?

    Summary

    “Technoblade, let me kill you!”

    “No?”

    “I will. Wilbur thinks he’s going to do it, but really I am.”

    “That’s nice Tommy.”

    “You don’t believe me?” Tommy glared as Wilbur snickered.

    “Honestly?” He glanced up the table. “My money’s on Phil. That or old age.”

    Phil cocked his head and smiled, eyes turning to slits. Wilbur could almost pass for human since his dark hair hid his facial feathers, and Tommy looked disconcertingly cherubic with his grey downy wings, but the Crowfather was altogether Other.

    Tommy grabbed for Techno’s hand, and Techno stepped around to his other side, taking the hand that wasn’t fitted with a razor taped to the palm. Wilbur laughed again.

    That’s when the sirens went off.

     

    //Villain family Phil, Wilbur, and Tommy decide that Normal College Student Technoblade is both a part of the family and a really good target for murder attempts. The worst any of them have to worry about is the odd knife or disinterested victim. But there's a Nightmare on its way.

    Summary

    Technoblade is part of MAFIAS. No, not that mafia. Magical Artifact Investigations and Active Solutions.

    As an intern, his job is pretty simple: holding on to a variety of supernatural items that can't fall into unsafe hands. This does not combine well with being a sleep-deprived college student.

    When Techno finds himself tied up with both the fae realm and the underworld at the same time, he will have no choice but to plead his case for freedom. And maybe try to do that without losing his mind at the very eager fae and goddess who both think they have some sort of claim on him.

    Summary

    Piglins are known by overworlders for a few key characteristics. Their outgoing social behavior, their penchant for striking a bargain, and their love for anything gold. But did you know that sounders also place high value on the protection and happiness of their runts?

    Techno didn't. Until he was mistaken for one.

    Summary

    From an outsider perspective, Techno has a very empty life.

    He’s twenty-one years old, a broke college student who takes all his classes online, a complete social recluse because he hates people, never willingly leaves his apartment, and has sunk almost five thousand hours of his life into a shitty pay-to-win mobile game nobody except him really cares about called Assault Darkness Myths.

    But that doesn't mean Techno is unhappy. In fact, he's very happy with his life!

    So imagine how pissed off he is when he wakes up in the game's fantasy world stuck inside the body of an eight-year-old orphan.

    Summary

    The thing about working the night shift at a shop that's open 24/7 is that there are only two types of people who regularly come to the store that late. Villains are one of them, people like Phil, using the cover of night to commit their crimes. The other type is people who try to stop those crimes. Heroes and vigilantes.

    OR: Techno works the night shift at a store that happens to be a good place for both villains and heroes to hang out. They all love him. Then the new guy on the block shows up.

    Summary

    “You’re not my son,” his savior said.

    “Nope.” Techno nodded towards the guy lying unconscious at his feet. “That’s what I’ve been trying to tell these clowns too.”

    “Well, that’s gonna be a problem…” They lowered the baseball bat, streaked with blood. “You do look exactly like Wil though, if I didn’t know any better I’d say you two were twins.”

    Or: sleep-deprived college student Techno Blade doesn’t know if there’s a good way to find out he bears an uncanny resemblance to the heir of a notorious crime syndicate, but being mistaken for said heir and kidnapped by a rival gang is certainly not it.

    Summary

    Philza struggled to keep standing straight, dizzy from blood loss, a white-knuckle grip on his sword.

    “I have heard much of you, emperor Philza, and I have respect for you. Therefore, I’ll offer you a deal. You will surrender. You will kneel before me, right here, right now, and beg for mercy. Then I’ll take you to the Nether with me, and you’ll become my prisoner, slave, and personal servant. Or-

    The Blood God raised his netherite blade, pointing the tip straight at Philza’s heart.

    “-I will allow you to die with a sword in your hand, and once you’re dead, I will slaughter your children.”

    Philza fell to his knees without hesitation.

    ~~~

    Philza had been prepared for a lot of things when he was taken as a war prize: the loss of his basic freedom, the heartbreak of being separated from his sons, the indignity of being reduced into the piglin king’s “pet”.

    What he hadn’t been expecting was for the man behind the blood-stained mask to be soft-spoken, or good-natured, or tired from the weight of his crown.

    Or lonely.
