Summary
“How about I buy you something to eat, to make up for it,” The man gestured towards the bakery Tommy had been about to go into, “If you won’t let me get you help, can’t I at least get you something to eat?”
Tommy was about to open his mouth to yell at the man again, but his pleading look stopped him. He nodded slowly, giving into the man’s request. It wasn’t like it would hurt to get one free meal anyways. Maybe he could even scam some extra food outta him for Ranboo and Tubbo.“Fine,” Tommy grumbled, “But only so you’ll leave me alone.”
“Great!” The man beamed, dragging Tommy towards the bakery doors, “I’m Wilbur, by the way, just thought you should know.”
“Tommy.”
Or: Tommy is a street kid during the Great Depression and somehow finds himself adopted by the local organized crime family.

Summary
"Whadaya want me to do?"
"Just...stick around? I'm bored. I got some games I need another person to play with, and my sister's not home. And...and, y'know, if I get hungry you can run over to the kitchen to get a snack for me. Stuff like that. You'd be like...like my personal manservant or something, for the day."
Steve looks troubled.
"I'll still pay you the five bucks," Bucky says, with a cheeky grin. "Please; it's so boring being laid up."
Steve looks even more troubled; he glances at the other buildings lining the street, and Bucky can tell he's calculating the likelihood that anyone else would take him up on his offer of janitorial services. A gust of wind coats Bucky's face with cold; he sees Steve shiver and, unconsciously, fold his arms across his chest.
"Goin' once, goin' twice..."
In which Steve and Bucky come from different worlds, but share the same soul nonetheless.
Note: This is the COTS 'verse remix of the original story

Summary
When Thomas put in his notice, he wasn’t sure what would become of him. He had a vague image of himself on the arm of Guy Dexter at some glamourous Hollywood party. That was obviously unlikely for a number of reasons. Better chance it would just be another choice, in a long run of choices, that would leave him heartbroken and alone. He liked to stay realistic… didn’t stop him from being impulsive, though.
