    Summary

    “Tom, wait,” Phil says, fingers curling around Tommy’s arm. Tommy barely catches himself from ripping away. Phil frowns. “Kiddo. What’s going on?”

    Tommy feels Techno and Wilbur staring at him. He burns.

    “Nothing you’d care about.”

    Phil flinches.

    ~
    or, after Phil takes in Wilbur and Techno, Tommy feels unloved. He spirals.

    Summary

    Then another man is bounding over. Tall, skinny, just like Tommy, except a little bit taller. Brown curls pile upon his head and over his forehead. Tommy can see a strong nose, and a strong chin, and everything clicks as the man leans into Techno’s space and starts excitedly showing him the contents of a brown bakery bag.

    “Oh my god! This is perfect!” Tommy exclaims, drawing the attention of the new, cooler man. Cooler because Tommy actually looks like this guy, a little bit, despite the man’s brown eyes and rounded glasses resting upon his nose.

    “Excuse me,” Tommy says eagerly, practically bouncing on his feet. “Will you be my pretend-brother?”

    ---

    After getting into trouble at school, Tommy has to take his brother, Phil, to Parent's Night—except Phil is always working, and always exhausted, and Tommy doesn't want to burden him...

    He'll just have to find a different brother for Parent's Night instead.

    Summary

    Tommy is deeply, achingly aware of his friends’ kindnesses. Phil had been the one to offer a spare room, with the only catch being a cost of rent far cheaper than what it should have been. But Phil had only shrugged with a slight grin.

    Phil is great like that. So is Techno. So is Wilbur.

    Tommy…isn’t. He just isn’t. He has nothing to him, he’s substanceless—and he feels it, in the way that the frigid winds in the August nights threaten to blow him away, like he’s made of nothing but sand.

    Tommy imagines that death will be like that. He imagines that he’ll close his eyes, and his body will finally break apart and decay right then and there. He imagines that that will be the only way his memory persists—like stubborn sand hidden in the creases of the carpet.

    ---

    Tommy decides that life is just too much. His friends decide that Tommy is wrong.

    (In which Tommy tries to kill himself, and his friends work to bring him back from the ledge).

    Summary

    “One of these days, I’m going to tell you something really important and you’re going to miss it,” 5pyder says. His heir-apparent leans in close, so close that Schpood can feel his hot breath against his ear when he says, “Look, we think you and Jophiel should get married.”

    What?”
