Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

Summary
Tommy considers himself a happy person. Considering his odds, he does have it better than most people. He has a loving, although single, father, and two older brothers that he messes around with. Not to mention his best friend, who is always at his side no matter what- clingy, even, Tommy would say. But as of lately, it feels like the world is turning against him, helpless on not knowing what to do.
It starts with a tempting, hesitant glance at his phone, thumb hovering over the play button on Spotify. Then, it turns to him putting his earbuds on and closing his eyes every now and again. He imagines going off to far away places- anywhere away from home- and he goes on adventures. He runs away from reality, and, in a blissful moment, successfully escapes.

Bookmarker's Notes
Tommy's a maladaptive daydreamer with a distant family and issues dealing with his emotions. He confides in his made up world with people who care about him, nearly an unhealthy amount. Irl, he is "on the run" with Tubbo.
(read until chapter 10, ongoing fic)

Summary
“You do understand that you’re caring for the thing meant to bring destruction and chaos to our world, right?” The woman asks, Phil looking behind him fondly as Techno grabs at the ends of his wings.
“He’s just a child.” Phil answers distractedly, humming as his wings get gently yanked at.
“He’s the first of three to destroy life as we know it! Shouldn’t we, well, get rid of him?!”
“Oh, no.” Phil raises his eyes with a sharp glare. “Believe me, I have my own way of preventing the apocalypse.”
---
Or, Techno, Wilbur, and Tommy are basically chaotic forces of nature, destined from birth to end the world and bring destruction. Most who hear of the tale of them are trying their best to track them down, and to end the monsters while they’re still young, still just children.
Phil has a different plan.
(In which Phil raises the minecraft equivalents of the anti-christ with love and support, so much so to the point where the world ending is really just a funny thought, and Phil has three kids who casually have powers that are bit more extreme than anything else in the world)

Bookmarker's Notes
Tommy's blessed/cursed by the loyalty god, forgetting that trust and betrayal go hand in hand. He is now destined to live this way for the rest of his life.
(finished reading, possible future works though)
