    Summary

    Tubbo chose Tommy first. Before they escaped the prison they were born into, before they had their powers, before they were pressed into heroism, before a group of villains offered them an alternative, Tubbo chose Tommy. And so, Tommy chose him back every time. Even when Tubbo would have preferred he hadn’t.

    Six months into living with the SBI, and Tommy has almost gotten used to not having to always be Tubbo’s shield. They may be villains, but their promises of protection have proven more genuine than the heroes’ ever were.

    Yet, threats thought long buried are rising once again. Echoes of a bygone timeline seem to push the world towards an inevitable apocalypse once more. Can the SBI protect Tubbo and Tommy from threats they still don’t fully understand even after living their lives twice? Can Tommy keep what he has gained, or will something be shaken loose?

    A bit of advice from someone long gone: “Keep the things you love close.”

    … Or you may not be able to shield them.

    (This is a sequel to One More Step Out of the Pit.)

    Summary

    "First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."

    As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.

    "Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.

    "Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.

    "Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."

    Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.

    "A what?" he asked.
