    Summary

    Joel comes to two horrifying realizations:

    1. For the first time, he doesn't want to kill. For the first time, rushing the end of the game means losing something.
    2. He's gone soft.

    de cinere, de sordibus, de ossibus (Latin) • from ash, from dirt, from bone

    ~~~~~~~~~~

    The Blade spreads his arms out placatingly. “The crowds are buzzing about the deadly new arrival. Thought I’d introduce myself.”

    “You’re the Blade. I’m Theseus,” Tommy says shortly. “There. We’re introduced.”

    “Hmm. Feisty.” The Blade considers him. “Wanna spar?”

    Tommy blinks at him. “What?”

    “Spar. It’s when two people fight without the intention of—“

    “I know what sparring means,” Tommy says sharply. “Why do you want to do it with me?”

    Or; In a world where pit fighters gain a tattoo of the soul animal of every person they kill, Tommy has just earned his second tattoo. He meets the Blade, who has thousands.

    Summary

    If Phil were a little less ... impressed by the emperor, he might actually be insulted by the choice of training partners he was issued. Certainly he’s slighter than he used to be, and his limbs don’t have decades of battle etched into them the way his mind still thinks they do - but he’d stayed wiry all his life, and the training sword they’d lent him was a well-balanced thing, and no self-respecting warrior would be caught so off-guard that they’d let the fucking interns of this army take that blade from them.

    Techno doesn't want to be into his new husband. The guy was doubtless forced into this marriage, after all, and why the hell would the prince of a neighbouring kingdom want him? (No matter the way he fights - like a man twenty years older and wiser, with eyes shaped by war. No matter the way he looks at Techno, like he wants him too.)


    Phil, sent twenty years back in time to the moment he decided not to marry the Antarctic Emperor, has made a different choice in this second lease of life. It would be nice, however, if his (hot, unfairly attractive) husband would stop treating him like a breakable twenty-year-old for five minutes.

    Summary

    It was peaceful.

    Atleast, until Techno froze and shot up, slamming his book shut with enough force that the noise that resulted echoed throughout the room. He ran to the windows, eyes looking at something in the distance.

    “What is it?” Tommy’s voice wavered, his anxiety skyrocketing at whatever had riled up the immortal.

    “We have a guest.” His words were short and sharp like a knife. “I will handle it. Do not leave the house.” His voice left no room for discussion as he made his way to the door, not even bothering to grab a sword. He glanced back at Tommy for a second, sending him a reassuring stare. “I’ll be back. I promise.”

    ____

    Or Technoblade makes good on his promise to Tommy and wrecks Dream’s shit.

    Summary

    The thing about working the night shift at a shop that's open 24/7 is that there are only two types of people who regularly come to the store that late. Villains are one of them, people like Phil, using the cover of night to commit their crimes. The other type is people who try to stop those crimes. Heroes and vigilantes.

    ---

    OR: Techno works the night shift at a store that happens to be a good place for both villains and heroes to hang out. They all love him. Then the new guy on the block shows up.
