Summary
“I shouldn’t talk so much about me, I’m sure you’re tired of listening to an old man ramble,” he continued, stretching his arms above his head. Techno saw him place his hands back down to the ground, leaning his weight onto it and he knew he was about to stand-
“I don’t mind!” Techno said louder than he’d intended. “Where did you get them?” He wanted to listen to his stories, he wanted to know the world through the lens of the sun, not the fires that raged in his soul. The man hesitated. Techno clenched his fists, pushing forward. “Was it in a big town? What are those like?”
Then, he smiled. “It’s a long story.”
“I don’t mind.” Techno fiddled with the fabric further, the ends of his fingernails bright red.
“Alright.” The man began his tale from the start, stretching his hands in the air and mimicking fantastical gestures. He spoke of the skies like an extension of himself, like a marvel to be observed and loved. He spoke of a world Techno had never seen, above the canopy, above the clouds and into the stars.
OR.
Orphan Techno thought he had a home alone in the forest, until he met Phil.

Summary
“If you care about me, at all, you’d leave me alone.” Tommy laughed, bitterness spreading to his eyes and tongue like a disease. “But I think that’d be too much for you.”
Tommy left into Limbo, Death; he didn’t know. But as long as it was far from Wilbur, he was happy.
He knew he’d regret this, he always did. He always grovelled to Wilbur for his love, always tried to look at the brighter side of things. Wilbur was his brother, unofficially, but Tommy had been determined to make their bond unbreakable.
Maybe it was his death that was talking. Maybe it was his regret in letting Dream live to save Wilbur, only to find out he was happy where he was, happier dead than he’d ever been in the SMP.
Maybe it was the regret of knowing, Tommy almost ripped away one of the few good things Wilbur had ever had.
OR. dsmp Tommy dies and meets his passerine family.

Summary
Three people charged toward his building. Phil’s breath caught in his throat. He stumbled back into the apartment and sprinted to the door. He unhooked the com.
“Someone’s in here! Someone lives here! I’ll buzz you in!” Phil repeated over and over. He couldn’t let them break the doors open, that was his first line of defence against zombies- that was-
“What floor are you on?” A sharp voice spoke back, grainy from the call. Phil felt ill, he didn’t know how to deal with people, it had been too long- how was he supposed to deal with this- he didn’t leave his apartment, didn’t speak to anyone save himself. Fear made him dizzy and he was almost falling forwards to the floor.
“Third.”
“We’re coming up, have your door open.”
The connection cut.
Or. Phil hasn't left his home since the apocalypse began. Techno, Wilbur and Tommy are city raiders.

Summary
A hooded figure stalled in front of him, long dark robes covering their features.
“I don’t sell attack magic,” Phil began, reciting the words he knew would make him leave too, “nor do I work as a mercenary.” It happened all too much. His art wasn’t worth it, too expensive to hang up on walls. At this point, his prices were barely breaking even, just enough to buy back enough supplies to make more, let alone enough to eat. Or, his magic wasn’t strong enough to be on capital streets, surrounded by fighters that could bend nature to their will.
“I know,” the figure replied, their voice melodious. “I wish to commission a painting.”
Or. Phil's a painter, struggling to get by. A certain 'Soot' wants to commission a painting.

Summary
Techno showed him the process, his own bowl in front of him. He mixed gently with a spatula, piling sugar high and adding lemon juice, already concentrated in a long vial. Tommy tried to copy him, before spilling far too much into the bowl. His mentor said it was fine but he hadn’t made a single mistake, stewing the mixture like a hardened witch.
When they poured their syrups into jars, using funnels to make sure nothing spilt, Tommy still stained the table with sugar-soaked fruit.
Techno said it was fine but he did it perfectly.Or. Tommy’s a new farmhand. Chill bedrock bros farming and cooking.

Summary
He is imperceivable afterall.
It's a shitty power, one he was cursed with at ten years old. Almost everybody receives a power when they turn ten, some extremely useful and some not so much. An even rarer few don’t receive anything at all. However, Tommy’s is in one of the most uncommon categories: life ruining.
He woke up to a mother who didn’t even know she had a son, and a father who didn’t hug Tommy back no matter how tightly Tommy squeezed. He threw things, broke the coffee pot, even ripped one of his mother’s paintings, but it was like he didn’t exist.

Summary
“Every night, the sunset- the sun- whatever- it dies. And everyone just accepts it, and it's gone so easily. And by the time the next day comes there's a new sun which will also die as soon as its hours are up- it's just so easily replaced.”
There was a passion in his voice that Techno hadn’t heard in a long time, a desperation poorly hidden beneath it.
“It's still the same sun,” Techno answered softly. “It's always setting somewhere, and it's always rising opposite that, and yes, it may look different, live longer, die sooner- but it's still the same sun.”
or
Bedrockbros watch the sunset and talk about fears (they are brothers.)

Summary
Scapegoat Wilbur and golden child Tommy run away from home and find themselves in the foster system.
(Or, I wrote the first story, comments wanted me to write protective Tommy, I said "okay" - made Tommy a very protective little brother and removed 'self-esteem' from Wilbur's vocabulary.)
