Summary
Deep under the surface of the water the world was quiet and weightless. There were no conflicts, no bonding exercises, no backstabbing friends. It was just Tommy alone in an endless void. He imagined that might have been what death felt like.
He’d grown a liking to waking up there lately.

Summary
For years now, L’Manburg had been living under the constant looming threat of the Puppeteer, a cunning villain with a passionate and borderline sadistic love for death. He stated publicly before that his ultimate objective was to find a cure for mortality, though it didn’t seem like he was anywhere close to achieving his objective by the ever-increasing pile of corpses lying at his feet.
He was a slippery one, and in eight years of activity, no one had been able to find any hint of where his hideout might be. All the most advanced tracking technology in the world had led to nothing but one wild goose chase after another, sometimes even leading the heroes well out of town, only to trap them and slaughter them like cattle once they were too far for reinforcements to reach them in a timely manner.
That all changed when Tommy, who wasn’t even a hero, was unfortunate enough to catch Puppeteer slipping back into his hideout underneath Church Prime as he was going for an early prayer before work.

or, To finally defeat the infamous Puppeteer, a task force of nine heroes and a civilian is put together. They're not ready for what they find down below...

Summary
Wilbur wraps his hands around the mug and inhales the steam like it will smell like anything but boiling water. The warmth is nice—Wilbur’s windy walk from the Nether portal to the cabin reminded him of just how old his bones are—even if the taste will be lackluster as always. It makes Phil feel better to provide comfort. It makes Wilbur feel better to let Phil think he has.

Summary
The intruder’s name is Wilbur, and he’s eight. Phil pries this out of him with a stern look and a hand on his shoulder somewhere around the fourth or fifth time he invades their house.
“Everyone needs food and water, shelter, security, respect, and self-activisation,” the kid explains, ticking off the items importantly on his fingers.
“Self-actualization,” Phil corrects, not unkindly. Behind him, Techno rubs his eyes.
“Self-actualization,” Wilbur repeats, testing out the word in his mouth. “Huh. Anyway, I need those things, but I don’t have the wherewithal to get them. That’s why I had to take a few of 'em from you. Make sense?"
Phil’s eyebrows climb higher. “Wherewithal’s an awful big word.”
Wilbur shrugs. “I steal books, too.”

Summary
Wilbur smiled back only for a moment, before his eyes trailed down to the avian resting at his side. He looked back at his father, a pensive expression on his face.
“Can you stay?” He asked slowly, and like he wished to twist the knife digging into Phil’s chest, he added, “I’m scared.”
No matter the exhaustion on his face, the tiredness in his voice, his own maturity and intelligence—he was Phil’s son.
And he was so young.
God, he’d never sounded quite so young.

Phil learns that power and Wilbur are not equal
-

Summary
Wilbur looked at Tommy, scared and looking just a bit smaller than moments before, and realized he missed him so fucking much.
He grabbed the carton beside him and flipped it open. There was one last cigarette inside. Before he could think, he held it out towards Tommy. “Do you want to try?”
Objectively, this wasn’t that bad. He’d gotten Tommy to produce and sell drugs with him before. They were far past the tacit laws of what a minor could or couldn’t do that existed in a world that was now out of touch.
That said, Tommy had boundaries. Wilbur should’ve anticipated how bad of a look this was for him, yet still found himself startled when Tommy recoiled with a, “What the fuck!? Eugh, no!”
Wilbur wants to smoke with Tommy, just once, for the sake of bonding or proving a point or something or other. Tommy, unfortunately, is very reluctant to the idea.
Or, how Wilbur Soot started smoking again.

Summary
It’s common knowledge that the Craft boys nearly died on Halloween. Now, there’s more to Wilbur’s shadow than there should be. He caught Tommy in the bathroom last week, spitting up wet, dark leaves into the shining enamel curve of the sink. Wilbur thinks maybe he sees too much these days.

“I bottle shit up,” Tubbo says. “Ranboo—fucking, emotional repression or whatever the hell it’s called. Ranboo said it. Says it’s a problem. But you know what? You’ve got the same problem. Anything shit happens to you, and you just shut down and pretend it’s not happening.”
——
Quackity and Tubbo agree to a truce on the bridge between the outpost and Las Nevadas. For better or for worse, they take down one of the many many walls they’ve built.

Summary
In the span of one night, Tommy Soot has learned three very important things.
One, grief is not temporary. It might slip out of your grasp like a particularly wiggly fish and disappear downstream for a bit, but eventually it comes round again.
Two, libraries are wonderful, wonderful places. Books and reading are fucking fantastic, and Tommy plans on being a regular now at their local spot (annoying librarians be damned).
Three, cemetaries have shit fucking security systems.
(or, Tommy is dealing with grief in the weirdest of ways.)

His father taught them many tales of tricks and charms, ways to thread the world’s magic through the eyehole of what you wanted from it. And though Wilbur has never believed in monsters, neither has he ever stepped too close to the rabid foaming lip of the ocean.
The same cannot be said for Tommy.

Summary
“You said things were fine, last time we talked. In the postcard.”
Wilbur pivots a half-step to the side, twisting his shoulders away from Tommy, looking out over the pond, the ducks in the water with their fluffed-up feathers, the pigeons slowly fluttering down to the pavement and strutting around his feet like old friends. For an absurd moment, Tommy wonders if the birds know his brother better than he does.
“Yeah, well,” Wilbur says stiffly, voice straining for nonchalance and falling dramatically short, “I lied.”
(or, two days before christmas, tommy goes to visit his former foster brother in new york city. nothing goes as planned.)

He doesn’t look like a killer, is Wilbur’s first thought upon seeing Tommy Innit outside of a picture for the first time. It’s a bit silly, really. Hardly anyone looks like a killer. They just are.
