There’s a new family in Phil’s house. They can’t see him, but he can see them. Three sons and a father, moving boxes into /his/ house. Walking around, opening closed doors as though they own the place. (TWs: Child abuse, past death (it’s Phil, my man is now a ghost) (43)

Phil takes a deep breath and - /Prime/, it feels strange to have air enter his lungs. He could spend forever savouring it. But not right now. Not while Wilbur is still looking up at him, trembling with fear, his brothers watching on in dismay. (35)

“Don’t move, you hit your head pretty hard.” Tommy blinked blearily. “Wha - what’s - huh? What’s going on?” Fuzzy shapes swam into view - pink, probably Techno, a soft yellow blur - Wilbur. And a green hat with a large black void behind it - Phil… and Phil’s wings. (14)

It’s Christmas Eve in the Craft household. Not that you’d know it. Wilbur glances up at the clock. It’s ten minutes to midnight. In less than fifteen minutes it will be Christmas day. It doesn’t fill him with excitement the way it used to. Then again, little does now. (33)

The door to his room opened and Techno opened his eyes, preparing to see his social worker standing there, arms folded, a scowl hanging on her lips. She’d ask him what went wrong, how he managed to f*ck this up /again/ and Techno would have no answer this time. (12)

It takes Wilbur a while to get used to his new body. Not only does he have f*cking /paws/ instead of hands and feet, but he also has a /tail/ - a whole extra limb that, for the life of him, he can’t seem to figure out, despite knowing he needs it to balance properly. (19)

It’s weird living in his house right now, knowing his body is in the hospital across town. Wilbur tries not to think about it as he does his best to be catlike, curling up on a chair in the living room as the family - /his/ family - go about their lives. (25)

Tommy hides his face in Techno’s shirt as Wilbur’s head lowers. “I - I’m sorry.” “You will be,” the man hisses, stalking forwards and shoving Wilbur in the chest. Hard.

“That’s not what I…” his dad huffed, cutting himself off, burying his nose into Tommy’s hair. “I love you /so much/. I - I was so /worried/… thank /Prime/ you’re okay.” “I missed you,” Tommy said wetly, hiding his face in his dad’s shirt.

But he can’t leave. He can’t abandon them. He /has/ to stay. He can’t leave. He can’t watch this happen.

If the elements didn’t get him - the burning heat or blistering cold or thin atmosphere of whatever planet they left him on - the crushing /loneliness/ would, after months of being looked after, /cared/ for.

AU where Technoblade has never really /liked/ kids. Even before the apocalypse hit. (TWs: implied/referenced child abuse/neglect, referenced murder) (21)

“They are,” the man confirmed. “It’s Tommy, right? I’m Philza… you can just call me Phil. You’re safe, I promise.” Tommy nodded. “O-okay.” “So, are you ready to come down? Your dad’s waiting for you.” Tommy’s heart /soared/. “My - my /dad/?!”

But then what /can/ he do? He’s /helpless/ - helpless to intervene as the man drives his boot into Wilbur’s side again, as Tommy shudders, silently crying, as Techno flinches at every dull thud, holding back his own tears as best he can.

It was Tommy they would get rid of. He /couldn’t/ be on his own again - it would kill him.

Phil smiled. “Yes. He’s waiting on the floor.” For the first time since he’d fallen alseep, Tommy looked down. The hunters were gone. In their place was a blurry figure, sword sheathed, a familiar pink braid swinging around their waist. “/DAD/!” Tommy cried.

“They’re not going to do anything to me kiddo,” the man said gently. “They’re… gone.” “Gone?” “I… uh… I… scared them away.” “R-really?” Tommy said hesitantly. “They’re… gone?”

Techno was still speaking, Tommy could hear the low rumble of his voice, but he couldn’t hear the /words/ over the blood rushing in his head. His vision was blurred, his head was collapsing in on itself, his heart thudding desperately and he could feel his legs giving out -

Or maybe he’d be taken by the aliens hunting for a human to /kidnap/, to /use/ - to experiment on again and again until they broke and were tossed away. That could have been Tommy’s fate. It almost had been. He didn’t think he’d be able to pull off an escape like that again.

He’s /helpless/ and he - he wishes he wasn’t. More than anything in the world, he wishes he had a body - wishes he could pause time, freeze this, /stop/ this. He wishes he could /do something/.

Against himself, he screws his eyes as another blow falls and Wilbur is sent skidding into the counter, head colliding with the wooden cupboard door.
