    Summary

    Aliens.

    Aliens!

    The adrenaline was slowly seeping away at this point, ragged breaths escaping him as he stared down at the defeated alien.

    This was literally the worst possible outcome that could’ve come from his and his foster mothers’ argument. Like, he expected maybe a scolding when he got back, or at worst the police called on him for running away, but no. Honest to god aliens.

     

    Or,


    Humans are a young race, and Tommy, a particularly volatile human, is plucked from his home and forced to survive in a foreign land. It certainly doesn't help with the fact that the whole of galactic society is under the impression humans lack the ability for complex thought.

    OR, OR, tommy is a sewer rat and the rest of space is new york city and everyone is irrationally terrified of the rat.

    Summary

    Hesitantly, he presses a trembling hand to the glass.

    The entire universe is spread out underneath his finger tips, hundreds upon hundreds of stars swirling in constellations he doesn't know, a melting pot of dazzling colors, vivid pinks and deep blues, swatches of yellow and green.

    If he squints, he can make out planets. Tiny little dots, hardly bigger than the nail on his pinky finger. That little grey one must be Lestea, the trade moon they just left, but the others? he has no idea.

    One of them must be earth. How ironic is that he's the first human to ever leave the Milky Way Galaxy, and all he wants to do is go back home?

    (In other words; After rescuing Tommy, sbi and co. embark on a roadtrip through the Esempi Galaxy to return him to his home planet, Earth. They make a few pit stops, piss off some shopkeepers, make some strange friends, and learn how to be family along the way)

    Summary

    “Hey, what should I call you?”

    The Mandalorian turns back to look out the window. The streaking stars are reflected in the shiny black of her visor, and PR-3981 finds himself incapable of tearing his eyes from the sight of it. “Most people call me Mando,” she finally says.

    “That’s not your name.”

    “No,” she agrees. “It’s not.”

    Summary

    As the boy looked up at the stars through the window, he felt a familiar, empty ache in his heart join him as a silent, comfortless companion. And with how cold and heartachingly empty the shelter was while Dream was away, the dark cavity in his chest was only dug deeper.

    That feeling, Tommy believed, was called loneliness– a complex, deep-seated emotion he had long gotten used to as his days grew longer without company. Even on days when he was really, genuinely happy, it would strike to remind him that he was painfully alone, because he knew well that the galaxy was full of creatures who hated him, and they wouldn't hesitate to slaughter him like they did to everyone else of his kind.

    But that's just how it was when you were the last Human alive in the entire universe.

     

    Or, Tommy's been raised as the last remaining Human alive on an isolated dwarf planet, where he's grown up shielded from the dangers that sought to kill him for his Human parts to be consumed. That is, until a strange spaceship touched down and brought with it even stranger people– including someone who looked strikingly, impossibly Human.

    Summary

    “It suddenly struck me that the tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.”

    –Niel Armstrong
    _____________________________

    If the history of planet Earth were to be etched onto the face of a clock, the entirety of human history- as they exist today from the beginning of time -all of it, would amount to less than a single second.

    And that’s only considering the history of Earth. The Universe at large is millions upon billions upon quintillions of years older than that. Enough time for stars to die, for solar systems to decompose, rot away into nothing but solar dust and crumbling asteroids.

    Tommy had never been a fan of outer space.

    Summary

    ...is that nobody else knows the rules.

    ----

    “Fuck off.”

    “Nope,” Ranboo chirped, his shy demeanor melting away, replaced by a front of sheer charisma. It was baffling how quickly he’d switched. Tommy didn’t trust it one bit. “Can’t. I’m here to request your assistance.”

    Oh, the nerve of this guy. First the threats, now he asks for help? Ranboo couldn’t even get his name right, the dick. Tommy’s hands twitched at his sides. No strangling allowed in Jack’s pub, he reminded himself. Remember, Tommy. No strangling.

    “You come in here,” Tommy deadpanned, “steal my fruit, and then claim you want me to work a job for you?” Tommy scoffed. “Yeah, right. That makes total sense.”

    Ranboo shrugged, grinning at him. “It’s one way to introduce myself, sure. Gotta make a good first impression.”

    Good is still up for debate,” Tommy muttered.

    ----

    Tommy is a no-good thief with a smart tongue, sticky fingers, and plenty of bottled trauma. Ranboo, a member of the most notorious criminal organization in the galaxy, is in search of someone to assist him on a stubborn quest to help a friend.

    He gets Tommy instead.

    Summary

    This was a chance to take a break and explore. There's no Imperial presence on this planet.

    Technically, that's not a lie.

    He runs a hand through his hair and finally calls the Mantis.

    “Hey, Cere, I found something. It looks like the entrance to an old Imperial facility. It’s built into the mountain.”

    “Interesting that nothing came up on my scans. Is there a landing pad nearby?”

    “Nope. Also, there’s no way to get here on foot unless you really, really like climbing.” He pauses. “And jumping. And getting covered in mud.”

    “…Cal,” she sighs in exasperation. “I told you to turn back if that happened, and now you’re at an Imperial base.”

    “It’s not a base, if that helps.”

    “It doesn’t.”

    “I got curious,” Cal says with a shrug. Cere mutters something that sounds suspiciously like, I should’ve known. “Can’t get back the same way I came, though. It was a bit tricky getting here in the first place. I’m going to have to go through the facility. Looks pretty abandoned. I’m sure it’s fine.”

    “Famous last words!” Greez shouts.

    Summary

    A... Baby..?

    Still, he could hold himself back, right? Sure, he could feel his pupils widen until his red irises were just slivers surrounding pitch black, but he had a tight grip on his own emotions and feelings, and he knew he couldn’t let himself be caught off guard by his own instincts.

    Then, he chuffed accidentally, and he knew he had lost.

    The alien- the piglet- chuffed back.

    Summary

    Tommy once thought the stars could be an escape from Earth’s destruction. Once he finally gets out he realizes that they could trap him as much as Earth’s gravity did.

    But a good friend finds himself a way into Tommy’s life and finally gives him a proper chance at freedom among the stars.

    Wilbur knows space is dangerous and he could be forced into a life of bars and imprisonment if he wasn’t careful. And he… isn’t careful.

    A simple trip to the market ends in meeting a dangerous enemy that will continue to bit them in them in the ass and an unlikely ally that made it all worth it.

    Summary

    Techno would offer to just beat Tubbo up so he wouldn’t talk, but he knew Phil. He knew where he drew his lines. And that meant beating Tubbo up wouldn’t be an option. So now they had a hall monitor.

    It wasn’t as bad as it could be. Ranboo was the first one to actually be friendly with Tubbo.

    Game nights must go on no matter who was on the ship, what was going on, who had died, or how uncomfortable everyone was with one specific person. And out of politeness, they invited Tubbo.

    Summary

    interstellar medium or ISM is the material -dust, gases, and other tiny particles- between the stars that fills the whole universe. this is the material that eventually creates stars and nebulae; the birthplace of every interstellar object.
    the mother of the stars.
    ___
    It seems as though a quiet, peaceful joy has radiated across the whole house, the whole town even; it’s the feeling of watching a field of sunflowers waving in the breeze mixing with the changing red and gold leaves of autumn.

    It’s home, it’s comfort, it’s peace and joy.

    A few more minutes pass and Benson begins to bark, skittering down the hall towards the front door as she chases after him to try and get him to quiet down because he doesn’t seem to be barking for a reason.

    It might be Osmo, he’s been complaining about his combine lately and wanting Bo to fix it, but Benson doesn’t bark like this for someone he knows and she has half a mind to call Osmo to ask him if he’s here but footsteps echo down the hall and she opens the door.

    A plasma rifle is aimed at her head by an Imperial enforcer and she screams.

    Summary

    Wilbur let out a subtle cough and Techno jolted. He cleared his throat and waved the wand around aimlessly.

    “Tommy, human from Earth. I am here for your teeth.”

    Tommy startled. “My what?” He squeaked.

    “No, No!” Wilbur hissed and Techno backtracked.

    “I mean, I am here to give you teeth?”

    “No!”

    “I’m here to give you money.”

    “NO!”

    “I am here to take your money?” Techno said questioningly. He levelled the wand at Tommy’s chest. “Give me your teeth and your money.”

    Summary

    It calls itself Dream. Or- Tommy thinks that’s what it does. He’s not exactly used to translating alien language and the shitty quality translator it implanted into the back of his neck didn’t exactly help much. The stitches pull weirdly when he moves his head and it would be the most unsettling part about this situation if Tommy hadn’t been abducted by a fucking alien.

    A fucking alien who thought he was some kind of werewolf.

    'Shut it' Tommy’s translator hisses as the cage he'd been thrown into rattles with the lock engaging. Reluctantly, he obeys. He's been hurt enough today.

    After a moment, he realizes where he's going. The cage is sat on a podium… it's an auction.

    Summary

    The aliens are a musical lot.

    Tommy hears it in Phil’s whistling.

    He hears it in Techno’s humming when he thinks no one can hear him.

    Sometimes Tommy thinks Wilbur spends more time singing than he does speaking.

    Tommy loves their music. But he struggles to remember all the words to the Earth songs he grew up with, and trying to sing or hum one of them often ends with him feeling worse when he can’t get it right.

    Which leads to where Tommy is now, sitting at a desk with his tongue between his teeth, Duffle on his lap for moral support while he shakily writes out what he hopes is a letter to Quackity.

    Tommy wants to share the music from his homeworld with his family

    Summary

    Through a series of circumstances that he stubbornly refuses to acknowledge, Tommy Innit finds himself stowed away on a very peculiar spaceship, staffed by a crew that he would come to learn is not quite as human as he is.

    With the mind of a young engineering prodigy, he is prepared to use every trick in the book to make it off the ship and find... whatever it is he's looking for.

    * * *

    Philza is the captain of a ship that he is proud to call his own. His crew, though small, is very dear to him. They're the closest thing he has to a family.

    And he would do anything to protect them.

    Summary

    Ranboo pushed himself from hole in the floor and stared into the middle distance, his heart rate picking up at a remarkable rate. He would have grabbed the metal panel and shoved it back where it came from, but his brain was too busy processing yet another thing he didn’t remember. Whoever that was knew his name. They said it clumsily, but there was no mistaking it. They were acting like they knew him somehow and Ranboo didn’t like any of the options he was coming up with. On top of that, no winged species he knew of looked… like that, not with soft padded hands or a complete lack of feathers on their face or… anywhere. Something was wrong, something was different about whoever that was.

    Or, Ranboo discovers he is less alone than he thought.

    Or, Or, In space few things are as they appear. Everyone has their own story of how they got there and few understand each other. What happens when a group of hooligans get together and try to make sense of it?
