#A Warden's Secrets

Option C, AWS =)

AWS it is ;)

Keep in mind this is the bare bones of a future scene, so it'll be edited (and likely re-written) when I finally get to it. Enjoy!

"I want you to make a dispenser system for the main cell," Dream says. 

"Why?" Sam says. "Tommy's behaving, isn't he?"

"It's a security risk, Sam," Dream says. "Every time someone crosses that bridge, the prisoner has a chance to escape. Going there multiple times a day is asking for him to push you into the lava and leave."

"So are you not going to visit him anymore?"

"What? No!" Dream says. "I'm still going to visit. He's learned not to try anything with me."

"But you think he'll try something with me," Sam says.

Dream's fingers twitch. He sighs.

"Of course not," Dream says. "I picked you as the Warden for a reason, right? You're strong, capable. I'm just worried he'll manipulate you. Worm his way into your heart."

"Really?" Sam says. His grip on the trident tightens. "You think a child is manipulative."

"I wouldn’t underestimate him," Dream says. "There's a reason I had to lock him up here."

"Because you think he wants to destroy the server."

"Because he already has," Dream says. "Don't you remember what he did to the Community House? To the last memory of our lives before chaos? You were just as devastated when it blew up as I was, and now the last reminder of that peace is gone. No more Alyssa, no more Callahan, no more you and me and Sapnap and George and Ponk--"

"And who was responsible for driving them away, Dream?" Sam says. "A sixteen year-old kid?"

"Yes," Dream says. "He is! If there wasn't so much war, so much fighting, Alyssa and Callahan wouldn't have left! You wouldn't have left! Tommy joined, and from then on, it was war after war after *war.* Be honest, Sam, you couldn’t recognize the server when you came back."

Sam's grip slackens.

"You're right," he says. "Everything is different now."

"Exactly!" Dream says, and he sounds so relieved that Sam wants to strangle him. "You're the only one who gets it, Sam. You're the only one who's still here that hasn't let the chaos change them. You're the only one who remembers how good everything used to be."

Dream claps Sam on the shoulder.

"We'll get back to that soon, Sam," he says. "For now, I need you to trust me and follow my lead."

"Right." Sam eases himself out of Dream's grasp. "I'll get started on that dispenser system right away."

"Good," Dream says. "And Sam?"

"Yeah?"

Dream leans in closer.

"Tommy lies," he says. "Don't let him get into your head."

"I won't, Dream," Sam says. "Are you planning to visit tomorrow?"

"I'll message you in a couple days," Dream says. "I have some other things I need to focus on."

"See you then," Sam says, and he shoos Dream through the portal before he can finish.

He slumps back in his seat at the front desk. Nimble fingers unclasp the latches of his gas mask with practiced ease, and as he pulls it off, he swipes a hand down his face and lets gunpowder rise from his lips.

"Can't recognize the server, huh?" Sam says. "I can't recognize who you've become."

More Ingo in Hilda style because my crossover is taking shape. But only in my head. And yall only get fragments.

The short of it is, Ingo gets thrown too far into the future, ends up in Trolberg and lives in the forest outside the wall. He’s friends with the Bellkeeper and trades with the trolls.

Gonna spend some time cleaning up the Secret Life Spreadsheet for the final post but I just need everyone to see this absolutely WILD graph that was so insane I had to triple fact check to make sure I wasn't losing my mind.

Are. Are you kidding me.

I swear I'm about to make one of these for every other season because I simply MUST know if this has always been the case, that one or two people get most of the kills. There's no way right??? Scar was simply on something this finale (Gem is always Like That I was expecting her to look this way)

Also fun tidbit: all three of Etho's deaths were because of Scar. He killed that man three times. Etho is the only person who died the same way every time.

It's not the quiet. I never could sleep once work gets in my head.

If there's anything that this session has taught us, it's that the life series has the amazing and completely unintentional power of foreshadowing, poetic cinema, and the butterfly effect. There's:

The wither painting in the roommates' home.

Mumbo: "...pressing shift economically would be a skill [that I wish I had]..." -> running off the edge of a platform into lava

Joel recruiting Lizzie to hurt/kill Scott leading her to go to the End to try and kill him, which led to her death.

The two wooden fence posts that Mumbo placed as a joke to stop Martyn being the thing to ultimately seal Mumbo's fate.

Grian failing last week's task without realizing it, making him roll for a hard task this week, thus making him have to get the Wither and Warden with Etho that killed Jimmy and Mumbo.

Edit: Lizzie's poem to Joel from Session 1: "You won me a bone, I'll never leave you alone. / I hope you stay alive and also thrive. / Don't forget to shift, when you're near a rift."

There's probably more I've forgotten but this session in particular has been CRAZY with all of this.

12 + A Warden’s Secrets (Are Too Tough To Hide)

12) How did you come up with this fic? Where were you/what were you doing when you thought of it?

Honestly, I first floated the idea of writing a Prisoner c!Tommy fic right when the Disc War Finale was announced (after the stream where Tommy's house was griefed with netherrack and c!clingy got the Your Discs compass/final showdown ultimatum). At the time, it seemed like the obvious order of events: cc!Tommy had mentioned he wanted to focus more on YouTube, Sam had just finished building the prison a week prior, and Doomsday signaled the lowest point in a typical Hero's Journey storyline, so the stakes had never been higher. However, it wasn't until after the Disc War Finale streamed that I fleshed out the idea and wanted to try my hand at writing it.

There was just one problem: I had no idea how to write c!Tommy.

It took me a full year to finish the prologue, and in that time, I spent a lot of time reading analyses and character studies that showed a clear understanding of c!Tommy. Plus, my love for c!Sam (which had kickstarted around the time Tubbo and Sam built the Guardian farm) bloomed into a full-blown blorbo fascination, so I knew I just had to write it from his perspective. The story has grown so much since then, and I look forward to sharing everything I have planned with you. :]
