The self is not so weightless, nor whole or unbroken by Chime_in_a_symphony

Summary
This is a story about the curtain that separates us ; this is a story on how we'll never know each other.
This, specifically, is a story on grief. Who do people mourn when they bury you? If reality never matches one's perception of it, does that mean the corpse in the coffin is yours? If you are powerless over the eyes that watch you, does that mean you'll never know what they see? What do you do then? If you're not certain they know you, the person you want to show, does that mean it's unsure you'll ever be loved? And-
Breathe, breathe.

Tommy is supposed to be dead.
(Putting cTommy through the wringer, again. But this time it's a little bit philosophical. I promise there's a cool and pretty plot though, and I promise it's nice. I'm just bad at summaries.)

Summary
"Wilbur wasn’t doing anything; he couldn’t do anything, truly. [...] The doors closed, and she stayed behind. [...] Someone, with a soft voice, spoke up behind him. “It’s okay,” it said. [...] Wilbur is too full of grief and broken and sharp and angry to listen. [...] He’s alive."
What am I without you, you ask because you have been here for so long that you have forgotten you could live without; you have forgotten that here is both a place and people and the smell of bread. Still.
(“What am I without you?” he would ask. And the universe would say-)

Summary
Tommy hasn’t eaten since Wednesday. It’s Sunday, and Technoblade is only just made aware of these news.
There's something haunting his brother's frame, he finds, and it's scary to witness. Technoblade fears it even more when he realises maybe this house hasn't been a home in a while.
--
Or, Technoblade loves his brothers, so much, so much.

Summary
Trust, Wilbur had once believed, is a fragile thing. It gets built slowly and broken faster.
-
Tommy, somehow, still had that trust wrapped around his heart, sewn on his sleeve.

It is said, in scientific fields, that the number of examples a thesis or theory has doesn’t matter anymore if even one counterexample to it can be found. -

Summary
Wilbur Soot was not a father. He shouldn't be, he couldn't be. He's not able to be one.
Then again, his kid doesn't really care.

Summary
“That’s, uh, unfortunate,” Technoblade says as he grabs a second plate from the cupboard. “‘Cause see, I wasn’t under the impression you were comin’ today. Considerin’ the everythin’. So I didn’t know I was supposed to provide pancakes.”
“That’s literally on you, Technoblade,” Tommy says, sitting in the chair he always did when he stayed in the arctic, not a moment of hesitation, like not a day has passed and he still lives here. “Maybe if you used that small fucking brain for anything other than reading and withers, you’d’ve picked up on the very obvious ‘Tommy Innit will be coming to my house and demanding pancakes’ vibe.”

Summary
tommy's thesis, tommy's philosophy, is that all his problems start with with a boy who thinks he’s a man who thinks he’s a hero. because of this, tommy has many problems, because he has wilbur. on the other hand though, he has wilbur.
that's worth something.
(in which tommy just wants wilbur to cut the goddamn vegatables, but wilbur is too busy keeping secrets to do so.)

Summary
There were so many words in Tommy’s head, he felt like a dictionary. More than a dictionary, even. A lexicon of all the languages in the world, all the words in the universe, all the syllables that had ever fallen from anyone or any thing’s lips. He was a lexigram bursting with sound and meaning and potential.
And he was silent.

Be My Guest (Not My Prisoner) by BananaChild for Leaflex

Summary
Being the younger child, he had always known he wasn’t anywhere near as important as the crown prince, and that had, to some extent, been something he was grateful for, as much as it broke his heart to see the way they worked Technoblade to the bone. At least, when all was said and done, he wasn’t the one bearing the weight of their legacy on his shoulders, he wasn’t the one who would have to rule one day. There were advantages to being the youngest.
But here, apparently, was the f*cking massive downside. Being traded away like a pawn, given as a ‘guarantee’ in a peace treaty, as though he didn’t even matter. Tommy supposed that, deep down, he had always known he didn’t.
____________________Prince Tommy is traded away to King Philza as part of a peace treaty. He is certain he will be treated as a prisoner - a servant at best, a punching bag at worst. He just hopes Technoblade will find a way to forget all about him, the last thing he wants is for his older brother to feel guilty for being unable to keep him safe.
Philza just wants to protect a child from parents so uncaring that they would trade him away.Or, a tasty blend of foster and royalty au tropes XD
