    Summary

    Peter Quill's only eleven years old and already he's been abducted by two different Ravager factions in his short time in space. At first he thinks the universe must be playing a cruel joke on him, but nobody seems to be laughing. Not even Stakar Ogord, the jerk who's recently kidnapped him.

    [[A minor AU story that takes place long before the main plotline of the first film.]]

    Summary

    Tommy's called Blindspot for a reason. He’s not invisible, as he’s reminded Dream time and time again - people can definitely see him. They just don’t notice. He blends into plain sight, totally diverting all attention like water off of a duck.

    Usually, anyway. Orpheus, however, stiffens a little as Tommy draws nearer. He starts glancing around, as if struck by sudden paranoia. Tommy draws up in front of him, staff clenched in one hand, and Orpheus starts turning as if to check behind him.

    “What’s that,” Orpheus mutters. “Who’s there-“

    Tommy pulls his staff back and slams it into Orpheus’s stomach, hard.

    Orpheus stumbles. He wheezes, choking, and then looks up at Tommy and fixes him with a burning stare.

    “Who the fuck are you,” Orpheus says, eyes wild and oddly delighted. “Where were you hiding?”

    __

    Suspected of betraying the Hero Guild, Apprentice hero Tommy (A.K.A. Blindspot) is put under Security Protocol Catbag: a locked-on noise cancelling mask equipped with truth gas. His mentor, Dream, calls it a necessary teaching tool.

    Meanwhile, SBI wants to know why their least favorite loudmouth little Hero has suddenly stopped talking.

    Summary

    Tommy Danger has no idea that he is magic.

    He doesn't realize it when he starts speaking to the West Wind. He doesn't realize when flowers bloom at his touch. He doesn't realize when the weather starts mirroring his moods. He doesn't realize anything at all.

    Until, that is, he accidentally familiar bonds with a witch.

    Now, thrown into a world he doesn't understand, with a bond he doesn't want, Tommy must learn to master his newfound magical abilities--or else.

    Because Tommy is the last familiar left.

    And he's being hunted.

    Summary

    The prince shakily sits next to him. He smiles brightly, charming despite the blood that stains the front of his shirt. Red and gold mixed together. Tommy tries growling, but he hiccups instead. It’s- it’s so unfair. Things shouldn’t have ended up like this.

    The human raises his hand and Tommy slams his eyes shut, awaiting pain, but his hand just rests gently on top of Tommy’s head.

    “Hello, I am Prince Wilbur of the Antarctic Empire,” The human runs his hand through Tommy’s hair, “and you are now tied to me.”

    //

    Or, dragon hearts are known to give humans the closest thing to immortality by binding two lives together, and King Dream had taken Tommy's heart to evade his death for hundreds of years. The boy's life is flipped when the Antarctic Emperor kills Dream and Tommy's life is bound to Prince Wilbur's.

    He may not be free, but Wilbur is much nicer than Dream ever was.

    Summary

    “We can strike a deal.” Dream offers. “You can spare the town.” It’s almost a plea, in the way he says it. 

    “I could.” The pirate says, Dream staring straight ahead with clenched fists. “I could leave the rest alive. I could go back on my ship, return to my captain, and leave you as you are.” 

    Wilbur leans closer to the ledge of the window, straining his ears to catch their voices, trying to see every single detail, since he might be the only one left in this building to witness it.

    “But.” The Blood God stops in his pacing, a wide grin on his face. “You have something he wants.” 

    He then lifts his chin up, looking straight at Wilbur.

    “Or someone.” 

    Wilbur freezes, the air in his lungs feeling stuck as he sees red. 

    (Or, Wilbur was stolen from his family as a baby to be used as a threat so that The Angel of Death, the world's most infamous pirate, could be kept at bay. But Phil's learnt how to gather together loyal crew, and now they've finally come to get back what belongs to him.)
