Chartreuse

okay but hear me out: Dee does cause the split between the lights and the others, fully intentional, 100% knowing what he’s doing.

aka: Self Preservation’s name is Dee. His color is light green. And he’ll do anything for the sake of Thomas. (So maybe that’s why he doesn’t stay chartreuse)

Read on AO3 || My General Writing list

The end of the world starts when Thomas is twelve and only Dee seems to notice it.

The rules Thomas’s mother made suck balls. They don’t make sense and they stop him from doing the things he wants to do. Dee wants to push them, wants to break them, wants to see how far Thomas’s mother is willing to go in order to uphold these stupid dumb rules of hers

But if he keeps pushing, breaking, testing Thomas is going to get hurt.

He’s already hurt

Already sent to his room for the night, curled up under his blankets with stupid dumb angry tears on his face and he can’t get them to stop because its not fair that his brother gets to stay up later and go out more and Thomas has to stay here in the house when his friends are going play paintball or the movies or the arcade without him.

(And Dee knows the subconscious thoughts Thomas has been having about that. He’s kept them back so far, but there’s only oh so much he can do when Virgil starts grinning and flicks his tongue: what if they forget about you, while they're out have so much fun? What if they get into a car crash and they all die and leave you alone? What if they stop inviting you out---)

(Or when Remus’s eyes light up and he spouts out the first thing he can think of: Kiss Kaylee’s boyfriend! Jump from the moving car! Throw Mom’s plate on the floor!)

This is going to ruin Thomas, Dee thinks

as he watches the Mindscape fall apart, fall into tatters, shatter like glass on Thomas’s psyche.

He can see the cracks in the walls now, creeping upwards and outwards with a terrifying crrreeaaakk every few minutes. All the walls have them now, and Dee gets nervous standing in one place for too long once he saw the way the floor was.

Any moment, any second, any breath now

the walls that were holding Thomas together were going to break

and Dee wasn’t sure that all of the sides were going to make it when they did.

A plan, a plan. He needs a plan.

Its a bad plan.

But when he hears Virgil tell Logan where he can stuff his rules--

But when he sees Remus’s mace get lodged in the floor after narrowly missing Roman again--

But when he smells smoke in the kitchen again and again and again and Patton pretends he doesn’t--

But when he’s standing in the middle of the chaos feeling how much this is hurting Thomas, his host, his life, Dee knows this is the only plan they’ve got.

Like duck tape on a window, a temporary solution. That will get Thomas past his Thirteenth birthday and maybe long enough to see his twenties without going insane.

“Patton,” He says, rubbing an itch from his eye, “Thomas is going to be hurt if we keep this up.”

“Hmm?” Patton says with a strained smile, “Don’t be silly Dee! Everything is going completely fine!”

There’s a crack in the wall behind them. Its two inches longer now, stretching for the ceiling, for the light.

In the background Roman’s sword collides with Remus’s morning star with a sharp distressing trill. Logan’s voice keeps breaking embarrassingly and Virgil’s laughing nastily about it.

Its not fine.

“You know I’m right,” Dee says, “If they keep fighting-- if Virgil and Remus don’t stop antagonizing--”

Dee is Self Preservation. He knows this stuff.

But Patton isn’t looking at him, isn’t listening to him, isn’t doing anything. He’s just washing dishes, with a sink of soapy water and a sponge and a faucet running so hot Dee can see the steam. The kitchen smells like smoke again.

“Patton,” Dee says.

There’s a crash and a scream behind them. Dee doesn’t know who it is. He’s scared to find out.

“Patton! Listen to me! We have to do something about this!”

WE, We, we

Because if it was just him no one else would listen. The idea has to come from both of them. The idea has to be an agreement, a compromise, an equal bargain.

It has to be right and fair.

They are the leaders here: Morality who always did the right thing, and Self Preservation who always did what was in the best interest.

“Stop ignoring me!” Dee snaps at Patton, “You are hurting Thomas! Morality! Morality look at--”

--Me.

Because Patton is looking at him all of a sudden. His hands still in that burning boiling bubbling water, tears down his face, smile on his lips. He’s staring at Dee like its just the two of them left in the Mindscape, in the world, in the universe and it makes Dee’s skin blister and itch and scream.

“Yeah Dee?” Patton says softly. Dee shouldn’t be able to hear it with the screaming behind them, the crashing of the furniture, the breaking of the walls, the sound of the running water, but he does anyway. “I’m looking. I’m Looking and I don’t like what I’m seeing! I don’t know what you want me to do about this! What--what can we do about this?”

Patton’s smile is a knife.

Dee takes it and plunges it into himself anyway.

“We have to split the Mindscape.”

Dee’s voice is a death sentence.

Patton breathes through it, after it, for it.

Dee thinks just a bit traitorously, that Morality had had the thought first, and just been waiting for Dee to say it out loud.

“We’ll draw names,” Dee explains to the group “Three of us will go, the others will stay and become Thomas’s core.”

“What?” Virgil scoffs, “No way! What if you rig the vote? what if the ones that stay make it worse?”

“But that will be so much fun!” Remus counters!! “With Roman out of the way I’m free to bring all my creations to life!”

“Wh-Absolutely not, you fiend!” Roman screams, stamping his foot, “Patton tell him we can’t do this! He’ll ruin everything I’ve done for Thomas!”

But Patton doesn’t say anything.

“Logically speaking--”

“Shut up, Bore-ius!” Roman yells, like a child. “I don’t want to go! I don’t want to give up my place in Thomas! Its my place!”

“It’s not forever,” Dee placates.

“Shut up!” Roman yells, “It’s Thomas’s development years! Whoever goes away now will never, ever have a part of Thomas!”

“We’re already part of Thomas,” Logan cuts in smoothly. “Nothing can change that.”

Virgil snorts, “You really believe that?”

“Yes,” Logan says, “Why would I not believe sound logic? It would defy all...me.”

Virgil slinks around the room, like a cat, “Well....” He says, like he normally does right before he gives a barrage of anxiety to the rest of them. Dee doesn’t think he does it on purpose, but it is annoying when Dee is telling Thomas to help himself, lie, cheat and Virgil’s voice drowns him out with fight, run, freeze.

“Well, there’s talk about what happens in the subconscious.” Virgil says, “Those that go might come back... differently.”

“There’s nothing in the subconscious,” Dee counters, rubbing his eyes boredly. “But if there was, its not like you’d be alone. Remember this is for the good of Thomas.”

None of them look convinced. None of them look happy.

They write their names down anyway.

“Did everyone write their own name?” Patton asks, lightly. They each show off their piece of paper: Patton, Virgil, Remus, Logan, Dee, Remus.

“Roman,” Patton says.

The prince snarls at them. Remus just laughs.

“Nice try, Prince Charmless!” Remus tells him as they watch Roman fix the name.

“Go play in traffic.”

“That’s a bit of a dark thought for you, Roman! I’m so proud!”

Dee offers his hat to the rest of them. Patton and Logan’s go in easy. Remus laughs the whole way. Roman puts his in so heavily, Dee’s surprised that he didn’t drop the hat entirely. Virgil holds on to his for another moment, twisting it between his fingers.

“I’m not bad,” He says suddenly. “I -- I don’t try to be bad!”

“Put your name in the hat, Hissy fit.” Roman snaps.

Virgil and Dee’s go in last. Dee shakes the hat and tries not to feel guilty.

“So we’re all in agreement here,” Patton says as Dee shuffles the hat.

“The names that get pulled, will agree to separate from Thomas and be downsized to their primary functions until Thomas reaches age twenty five.”

Dee tries to think of the last time they all agreed on something.

He doesn’t think they ever have.

A door appears at the end of Patton’s words: a new door to a new place and it smells like ice. Its yellow and they all know that Thomas hates the color yellow. A step back from all of them.

The floor groans and creaks under their feet.

“For Thomas.” Dee says, with much more confidence than he feels.

The room is silent as his fingers twitch into the hat.

Dee’s thoughts are not.

He knows what he’s doing. He’s the light green side. He’s Self Preservation.

Remus.

“Awwww man!” Remus whines, throwing his head back. “This sucks more than Kaylee’s Boyfr--”

“We get it!” Roman interrupts him, “Now go away!”

“You’re going to miss me, dear brother!” Remus says.

“Fat chance.” But he doesn’t sound so sure.

Remus walks towards the yellow door laughing all the way. Dee doesn’t know if the other realize how terrified he sounds.

“See you suckers in 13 years!” Remus calls behind him.

“Wait- Remus--” Roman says.

But embodiment of Impulsive, intrusive, unwanted thoughts is already gone through the doorway into the swirling terrible darkness beyond it.

Roman swears.

“Thomas’s mother has told us not to repeat those words.” Logan says, just an octave too high. He turns back to the five of them remaining, “See, without me there would be no one to reign in the rest of you! I’m far too important!”

“You’re too important?” Virgil snaps, “What about me? About Pat?”

“Thomas needs me!” Logan insists desperately, “More than he needs silly emotions or unwelcome panic!”

“Lets not fight--”

“I’ll show you unwelcome panic--”

“No one side is more important than the others!” Patton yells. He’s sobbing, sobbing so heavily its making the cracks in the walls deepen.

“I don’t wanna do this!” Roman says, hugging himself. “I take it back! Give me my name back!”

And he lunges for the hat.

But Dee is Self Preservation. He’s light on his feet, agile, quick.

He’s stepping to the side and Roman’s stumbling past him, in his white and red. And Dee’s light green glove is grabbing the next name

(The only name, that name)

Virgil

“No! Nononono no!” The purple side yells. “I’m not Bad for Thomas!”

None of the other believe him. They haven’t for a long time.

“I’ll be better,” Virgil says brokenly. “please.”

Patton’s mouth is covered with his own hands, and his choking on his own wet sobs. Logan’s hugging himself.

Dee thinks he can almost hear Logan’s thoughts at least its not me, at least its not me at least its not me.

“Please!” Virgil screams at them. But the vote is binding: his feet are dragging on the floor, his jacket being sucked towards the open yellow door like its a black hole and Virgil is the only thing caught in the suction.

Virgil blinks at them, his eyeshadow leaky black tears, and he lunges forward for a side, any side to anchor him.

And Dee is the closest, and he should have moved but he didn’t.

His hat falls to the ground when Virgil jerks on his forearm and it showers tiny little slips of paper all around them: Remus, Virgil, Patton, Patton, Virgil, Patton, Remus, Virgil, Remus--

“Thats--” Roman scrambles back from the papers, from Dee and Virgil, from all of them.

Patton looks faint, Dee thinks, maybe a little hilariously.

He’s self preservation after all. The light green side. The side that always looks out of his own best interest.

“You rigged the vote,” Logan says, “Cheating.”

“It was for Thomas,” Dee says.

But its a lie.

Because Thomas would be fine no matter which three were left.

Dee is self preservation and he’s selfish and he doesn’t want to give up his own place either. He’s the light green side.

Virgil clings to him with razor nails biting into his skin. His feet slip off the ground now yanked and jerked towards the door and his fingers claw down Dee’s arm, stretching the fabric of his sleeve and then he’s--

“You son of a--” Virgil screams

And then he’s gone.

Through the door, in the dark swirling mist.

And all sounds of him are gone.

All signs of him are gone.

Roman’s sword appears out of the air and its pointed at Dee, freshly sharpened, freshly new, freshly waiting for the taste of blood.

“You’re a liar and a cheater, Dee!” Roman says, “You might as well be called Deceit!”

And doesn’t that just sting a little, doesn’t that just hurt a little! When Dee had never been planning to pick Roman’s name? When Dee had never put thoughtful creation on the line? When Dee had chosen to remove Roman’s biggest antagonist instead of him?

Oh Dee thinks that’s completely right and just.

not at all unfair and cruel.

His eye twitches, actually its been itching for a while now, and he just can’t seem to figure out what the issue with it is. His mouth opens.

Patton, Logan, Roman step back before he’s even said a word.

The Mindscape is shaking, Dee can see the cracks around them growing and yet there’s more horror in the three’s faces when they’re turned towards him. Roman’s sword tip dips as his eyes go wide.

He takes a step towards them, takes a step, takes a--

And the ground makes a horrible terrible cracking sounds, the walls of the room shudder and Dee sees it coming like an eel in the water:

the final crack

The largest yet

And it slices through the floor between the ground.

Dee is self preservation so he throws himself backwards, away from the growing gaping gorge. And he lands just a foot shy of the yellow door.

The other three are grouped tightly together, staring at him.

So far away, too far.

A leap and a bound and a life.

The Mindscape is dissolving.

This certainly isn’t going to hurt Thomas.

and Dee definitely doesn’t care about him at all.

That’s why he knows what needs to happen. That’s why his hand reaches up and grabs the door ruefully.

That’s why he notices his gloved fingers match the color of the door.

He’s not the light green side anymore.

The ground, the Mindscape, bulks and jerks and shakes

And Dee--

Well he’s not exactly Self Preservation anymore, is he?

He falls backwards right through that doorway into the subconscious.

But that’s okay. He said it himself hadn’t he?

There’s nothing in the subconscious. And he’s not alone down there.

He itches his eye again as he peers around the cool dark silence he’s been dropped in. There’s no sign of Virgil or Remus down here. No sign of the floor or walls or anything other than shadows that inch away from Dee’s own Chartreuse glow.

((its not going to stay chartreuse though. Even now he can see the more golden hues brightening))

(((And Thomas just loves gold)

So he itches his eye and keeps itching as he walks and he says he feels guilty

but that’s a lie

The end of the world starts when Thomas is twelve and Dee becomes the yellow side, the side of Deceit, after he splits the Mindscape in half.

Note

Are you going to finish the Tiny Virgil AU? Cause the last chapter ended on a cliffhanger. If you don't feel like finishing the whole thing, you could maybe give us bullet points of what was supposed to happen?

Ahaha whoops, I kinda forgot that fic. at the rate I'm going, it'll take like ten years for that or any of my other fics to get finished. Tbh, I actually have a whole outline for that one? Acantha (@theeternalspace) and I brainstormed the rest ages ago and then I took our thoughts and bullet-outlined it out.

The thing is? Like, emotionally I want to hold onto my thoughts and finish it, but if I am to be completely honest, realistically it probably won't happen. Because I wanna prioritize Gibbous over it and all.

so tldr: I'd like to write more installments, but in the case I never finish it and/or you don't care about spoilers, check the read more for what happens.

warnings: hurt/comfort, crying, morally grey sides (all sides are present so beware idk its been awhile im not up to date with how the fandom handles this sorta thing)

Chapter 5

Anx cant believe he forgot about Thomas!

He was so caught up in Creativity wanting to play with him, he's forgotten about his whole purpose

He goes to the real world, worried about all the things that could've befallen his host without his guidance

Anx is confused to be faced with adult Morality and another...side?

"Thomas?"

Thomas is big, Anx is not

This can't be real, can it? How can he protect Thomas like this?

Roman shows up, but the damage is dealt (Ro and Pat converse a bit)

Virge starts panicking and panics even more when he sees Thomas affected by it

Ro & Pat try to comfort Virge but no use

It's Thomas who gets to him. Who is...helping? Why?

"Wh-why are you so nice? I'm bad, I hurt you--I do bad things."

Thomas looks sad at that. He tries to explaining that he doesnt think Virge is bad, he can be good

Virge doesnt really understand but at the same time...Thomas loves him??

Thomas offers him a hug and he accepts it. Still so confused but at least his host loves him.

Chapter 6

Virgil ends up tuckered up in Thomas' arms

"Crying is exhausting, don't like it" He complains to Roman.

"I know. You've been very brave, little prince."

It's not that late but Thomas seems nervous. "I should go to bed." (Basically feels like if he doesnt adhere to his childhood bedtime, he'll get in trouble aka lil Virgil's influence)

Patton asks if he'd like for him to accompany him and Thomas nods

Roman and Virgil end up back in the mindscape with Patton promising to follow soon after

Roman tucks him into bed

Patton comes back, looking tired, and both Roman and Patton agree to talk with Logan in the morning about things

in the morning with Virgil still asleep, Lo, Pat and Ro talk briefly

Logan shares some theories (Age regression maybe?)

Patton tells them what's up with Thomas

Roman decides to bother the Dark Sides. "If this happened before in the past, they would know, wouldn't they? And if they're behind it this time then I can get them to stop it"

They decide to have Patton look out for Thomas again and for Logan to watch over Virgil while Roman ventures out to the Dark Sides

Chapter 7

Logan mulls over what is happening

Grateful that Thomas is going to bed early at least

He is not worried, he is Logic

Tries focusing hard on his book

Virgil wakes up, disappointed to see Logan and not Roman

Roman ventures through the dark mindscape

infodump detail on how it differs vs. the regular mindscape, quiet, silence nobody is around

"HELLO" Roman screams as his brother pops up

"What do I owe brother dear for this visit?"

Virgil is worried about Roman, but Logan placates him a bit

The two end up doing a puzzle

During which Virgil randomly hugs Logan

When Logan asks why, Virgil explains "You're scared. Hugs make me feel less scared"

Logan thanks him for the sentiment but insists he is not scared

"You're scared, I can feel it. It's okay, I get scared lots of times so you don't have to." Virgil says

And then Logan's fear dissipates

He stares at Virgil, shocked, because did tiny virge take his fear away??

And if so, if tiny virge knows how to do this, has adult Virgil been doing it without them knowing??

Chapter 8

"I know you did it" Roman growls. It makes sense really. Remus did random things for sh*t and giggles

Remus blinked "Oh! You found out about ____, didn't you?"

"What no!" Roman says, disgusted. "I'm talking about Virgil."

"Wait, you think I did it with Virgil? Mr. Emo?"

"NO!" Roman snaps. "Stop playing dumb!"

The two have a scuffle, ending up with Remus having a sword at Ro's throat (who is stuck in green goop)

"I really don't know what you mean." Remus says, "What is it exactly do you think I did again?"

Logic must hate him, Anx thinks, otherwise why would he be looking strangely at him?

but its okay, even if it really really really hurts, Anx has done it before and would do it again to keep from any of them feeling pain

He asks if Anx took his fear away and he nods

surely this must be a happy thing but Logic seems even more upset

the fear grappling tiny virge is foreign. It's so different than fears he's taken before. He finds himself drowning in it. he doesnt quite understand most of it. But there's fears about himself, Logic being scared for him, not of him. (basically oh boy adult fears are much harder to process for a child Anxiety)

Logic grips his hand and asks for his fears back

"I can't" Tiny Virge says, shaking like a leaf

Logan asks it again. Virge shakes his head "I can't, I--I don't know how!"

He really doesnt know how. Usually he just holds it all in until it explodes.

Logic echoes some of what the fear is telling him, that Logic cares for him. And weirdly, it means a lot for him to hear that Logic actually cares.

But noooo he must only care because of Thomas, right?

Anyways this is resolved somehow idk lmao and then Logan is called to help with Thomas

Virgil promises Lo he'll be okay, not wanting to stop him from being able to help their host

Logan promises he'll back momentarily

Virgil squeezes Zola and tries his best to stay calm

Previously on Rem and Ro

Roman spills the beans on whats up

Deadbeat silence

Remus then babbles about how he has no clue what Roman is talking about, but is super intrigued and wants to check this out for himself

He sinks out as Roman grabs onto his ankle, but isn't enough to stop him from sinking out.

Chapter 9

"Hiya!"

Little Anx squeaks, shadows gathering at his feet, ready to strike at....

A Green-Dressed Creativity? He dresses fancily like him.

"Princey?"

Green laughs. "No, I'm The Duke! Princey's my brother!"

And Lil Virge is kinda confused but rolls with it because Creativity pretending to be someone else/splitting himself into two is a very Creativity thing to do and isn't too worried about it.

Roman shows up, fuming

However, because of Virgil, he has to play nice

They end up having a pretend tea party

Roman finds himself shocked that Remus is decent with kids? Or at least a Kid Anxiety??

He still says outrageous things but Virge giggles at them (Basically kids really have no baseline for moral right-or-wrong, they find talk of murder funny)

Roman feels a bit guilty/regretful realizing he never played much with Remus growing up

Eventually, Logan pops up slightly frazzled

He's relieved to see the twins there looking after Virgil

Explains the situation w/ Thomas to Roman while Remus and Virgil play

Patton pops up, looking slightly weary, leading Roman and Logan to insist he take a day off from watching Thomas

Upon seeing Logan & Patton, Virgil runs up to hug Logan, but shies away from Patton

Patton tries to hide his disappointment about this

Remus tries to leave upon seeing Lo and Pat are here

but Virge clings to him, insisting he stays

The Others agree, and Remus perks up a bit.

Somewhere, there's a discussion about Virge again, late at night?

Logan reveals Virgil taking fears from him

At some point it's decided to leave Janus out of it as it's unknown how little Virge would react to him and the fact that Janus most likely knows what's up and has chosen to stay out of it

It's decided that Remus and Roman will traverse the Imagination to see if there's a solution there

Logan will be with Thomas

Meanwhile Patton will look after Virgil

Chapter 10

Patton's POV

Little Virge is upset about both Remus and Roman leaving

they try to placate him but it does little. (Telling him how they'll stay safe and they don't want him going because they want to keep him safe)

Patton's heart breaks but he has to holds back Virge.

Eventually the two have heart-to-heart

Apparently the two had a classic childhood spat, that means a lot to Virge even tho poor Pat doesnt remember the spat at all.

Pat tells them they're the best of friends now, even shows him evidence

Virge feels a little better

Sees a snake stuffy in Pat's room, asks about Dee

Patton deflects

The two end up making cookies together

The Imagination is a bust, although the twins return squabbling in a good mood

And Remus has a "present" for Virgil, who delights in it.

They chat, when suddenly Virgil screams

Chapter 11

Virgil's POV

He's been trying his best to stay calm, to hold back the anxiety gained from Logan and also the other fears swelling inside of him

But it's too much, and push comes to shove. A burning sensation occurs

And it explodes

He has a panic attack and realizes it extends into the real world

Overwhelmed and upset, he runs off.

He runs off to his hideaway and sits there

Getting bombarded with fears

He's there for what feels like hours when--

"Oh my dear Anxiety" A crooning, unfamiliar yet familiar voice says

Virgil looks, surprised, to see Deceit!! There's a lot more scales and he's wearing a funny outfit but it's him

He is happy to see him albeit sobbing into his capelet because of what happened.

Dee holds onto him going, “Shhhh everything’s alright. Shhh it’s not your fault. It’s my fault, I’m sorry—“ and Virgil interrupts shrieking it can’t be his fault, because in his mind Dee would never do anything bad and it hurts Dee to know that young Virge has so much faith in him.

"You'll hate me" But Little Virge refuses to accept that. "You're lying, you don't mean that"

"Okay, you caught me. "We stay best friends forever" OR something along those lines

Dee convinces him to bring back to the others, that they don't hate him

When they return, the others "freaking out" is a mild understatement.

Dee slowly produces tiny Virge out of his capelet.

Hisses at them to keep their distance because crowding Virge will only freak him out

Apologies and misunderstandings are made clear

Thomas summons all of them and they all have a sleepover

Virgil falls asleep snuggled between Remus and Dee

Chapter 12

Maybe Roman's POV?

Along with Thomas, they have a discussion

Dee waits a bit, before revealing that he's behind the reason for Virge's current state.

As his role Deceit, he has access to both truth and lies. One lie is that Virgil believes his kid self died and is no longer a part of him--attempting to actively repress those memories

He then points out the childish aspects of each side's function. (Maybe Logan input something about growing up and stuff)

P: "But why would Virgil think this?" J: "oh gee, I wonder why. It isn't like he was made to feel like an outcast from a very young age or anything"

Instant Guilt for all

Anyways Dee explains some mishap occurred, thus reverting Virgil back to this state

You get the sense Janus isn't telling the whole truth.

Janus says he has a way to fix things, and that's when there's a noise

"Anx?"

Virge is there, standing incredibly still, slightly heavy breathing

"Anx, it's okay, we're not upset"

Little Virge heard everything and is upset but he understands

He knows Thomas needs big him, and the others reassure him that they'll be there for him, each having a small moment with him

Then he starts glowing brightly, causing them all to be alarmed, Janus included

Chapter 13

Virgil is back and boiiiiiii is he freaked the heck out

The Others including Thomas are all there, F*CK how can he ever recover after they saw him like that?

He's both embarrassed and mortified

Not to mention it hurts to have two sets of childhood memories rattling inside his head. One that was lonely and painful, and the other that was happy but fake

He snaps at Janus and ends up fleeing in his room

He doesn't duck out

He cant do that

He just doesnt....go out. He doesn't want to hear the jokes start. He doesnt want the babying or the pitying to start.

He does his job and that is that.

(inwardly he knew this would happen, but not like this)

They try summoning him (Thomas included) but he wont come out. His door is locked.

Patton slips a note under the door but Virge refuses to look at it.

Blares MCR

Somehow Zola appears in his room, and he'd like to tear it apart or something, but he can't help but squeeze the stuffed bat tight and cry for the childhood that never was.

A week passes, and there's a very sad prince at his door

Virgil ends up letting him in because look, he's not a monster

it's very...awkward at first

but they eventually have a heart-to-heart and some snarky banter

and Virgil is very confused when Princey feels the need to apologize to him

They also discuss Janus and Virgil very reluctantly agrees to talk to him

Virgil ends up talking with Janus over tea

Janus doesn't really look at him, staring at his teacup as he explains himself

and dammit, Janus has hurt him (but then again so has Virgil hurt Janus)

But a part of him really misses him. A part of him that has always missed him.

Janus explains he just wanted to know where he went wrong in their friendship, that he went the round-about way because knew Virgil wouldn't talk to him but messed with things he shouldnt and accidentally caused Virgil to revert to the age before their friendship started fraying by accident.

He admits that he almost wanted to leave Virgil that age, to take advantage of it as a way to start again, but ultimately couldnt let himself take advantage of virgil in that way

He also apologizes, telling Virgil "Showing weakness isn't bad. I told you once that you had to stay strong and not let anyone see it, but I was wrong" and that he understands if Virgil doesnt accept his apology right away or if ever

And Virgil doesnt completely accept, not yet, but he's willing to try

It ends happily with them going down to dinner with the others. (possibly Virgil having moments with the others??)

the end

BONUS, Written Scene from Chapter 11 w/ Virge's and Janus's reunion because I was self-indulgent and wrote ahead

“Oh my dear Anxiety,” A silky voice croons, so achingly familiar.

He sniffles, raising his head to meet eyes with the much older face of his best friend; Deceit. It has to be, there is no other side whose left side of face is reptilian in nature. He’s crouching beside Virgil, only one set of arms present at the moment. He’s wearing a funny outfit, but then Deceit has always dressed funny, just like Creativity. Neither of them have ever been worried about standing out.

“Dee!” Anxiety cries out, all but flinging himself onto the older side. The velocity of it flattens the two onto the ground, with Deceit letting a small grunt from the impact. He’d be more worried about possibly hurting Deceit if he wasn’t too busy bawling his eyes out into the strange cape Deceit is wearing.

Deceit strokes his hair, so soft and gentle. Then two sets of arms hoist Anxiety upwards, settling him onto Deceit’s lap. Deceit hugs Anxiety, cocooning him in a warm embrace. For a moment, everything feels normal again. As if they’re all kids still and Anxiety had sought Deceit for comfort after a bad nightmare.

Then Deceit speaks, saying words meant to be comforting. They are comforting at first, until Deceit says things that don’t make sense. And Anxiety knows Deceit is a liar, that he says things that aren’t true. But he knows when Deceit isn’t lying. They’re best friends after all.

“Shhh, it’ll be alright. Shhh, it’s okay. You didn’t do anything wrong, it’s not your fault. It’s mine. I hurt you and I’m--”

“No!”

“No?” Deceit repeats.

“No, it--it--you didn’t do anything bad, you wouldn’t!” Anxiety says, nearly shrieking, “You’d never, ever, hurt me. We’re best friends and best friends don’t do that.”

A strange, choking noise erupts from Deceit. Anxiety looks to see Deceit’s human eye glistening. His best friend’s lips quiver, like Anxiety gets when he gets too scared to speak. Except Deceit is never scared. He always knows what to say in a situation, confident in ways Anxiety could never be.

“Oh, I’ve forgotten what you were like at this age,” Deceit whispers, so low that Anxiety thinks he wasn’t meant to hear it. Then Deceit shakes his head, a weird laugh escaping him. “You’re going to hate me, Anx. Or rather, you’re going to hate me more after this is all over.”

“You’re lying,” Anxiety accuses, his fingers tightening around the fabric of Deceit’s cloak, “You don’t mean that. I love you, Dee, you’re my best friend and--and...Big Me is still best friends with you, right?!”

Deceit inhales sharply, as if there’s something stuck in his throat. Before Anxiety can even grow concerned for his well being, he breaths out a long dramatic sigh.

He rolls his eyes, smirking, “Alright, you caught me.”

“I did?”

“Yes. I was only lying to scare you out of crying,” Deceit assures him, “I didn’t mean to scare you into thinking we weren’t best friends still. Of course we are.”

“G-good,” Anxiety huffs, “don’t scare me like that, Dee, I don’t like it!”

“I won’t do it again, I promise,” Deceit says, his smirk fading a bit as he takes on a somber expression, “it still isn’t your fault for what happened, Virg--Anxiety. Neither I or any of the others think it is. They certainly despise you for it.”

“Despise?” Anxiety’s heart jumps a bit, “Oh! You mean...you’re saying...they don’t despise me?”

“I don’t know,” Deceit raises an eyebrow, “Why don’t you try reaching out? See what their fears tell you.”

Anxiety closes his eyes, sticking his tongue out in concentration. If he thinks super hard, he can envision everyone's fears like spider webs, branching all over the mindscape, interconnected in some ways and in others, completely disconnected in each side's little corner.

And he is the itsy bitsy spider, that scuttles about and maintains the webs to some degree. Because a little bit of fear is good, it helps keep Thomas alive. So he traces the webs and searching for what Dee suggested. There is one thread present, in every nook and cranny of the web, he searches, even in the splinter-offs. One fear that repeats and loops through the whole network that he has never seen before.

"Oh." Anxiety breathes, eyes widening. They're not afraid of him. They're afraid for him, worried about his safety and wellbeing. Anxiety doesn't know what to think of that.

So, what's your Virgil!kid au about?

So it started with a drawing @sleepy-starling did of Patton saying to Logan that they have a son (he was holding a baby Virgil) and I got this idea of the sides forming in Thomas’s mind at different times. It’s not an original idea in the fandom, but I liked the twist I added to it, in that within a year of them forming, they rapidly grow to look the same age as the others and gain their first function!

This got long, so under the cut it goes:

For instance, Patton and Logan formed when Thomas was born as Curiosity and Emotions, and while Logan’s main function turned to Logic fairly quickly, Patton’s is still Emotions! (This is kind of the focus of this next installment?? Like, not Logan and Patton’s, but functions in general) Creativity formed when Thomas was five, and the Split happened when he was ten, so for Roman and Remus, they looked about five when the split happened and aged up to match Logan and Patton again within a few months. Janus (called Dee in the first few installments) formed sometime before Thomas was five, but I haven’t gotten a clear answer from him yet. He doesn’t gain his primary function from the series until Thomas is older though!

Virgil appeared when Thomas was thirteen and about to enter high school, and I want to have a couple of installments that take place in the first year. I don’t want to give to much away about his story, but I’m excited for it!

How I imagine the series coming about in this is au, which I kind of hinted/spoke about it in the first fic, but I placed everything that happened in season one (up to and through Accepting Anxiety) as happening when Thomas is 18. When Thomas is older, he, Roman and Remus sit down and write down everything that happened, dramatize it a bit, and make it fit into a story format! Season two is more focused on the story they want to tell, and Remus and Janus are okay with being portrayed as more antagonistic than the others, as they understand that they are ultimately telling a story.

Part of the au is just found family content and Logan and Patton being the parents of the mindscape, and part of it is me fitting my headcanons of the mindscape into as many parts of the story as I can haha

This got very long so I’m cutting it off here lmao, but thank you for sending the ask!! It got some inspiration flowing, and I really do want to get this next part out. If you (or anyone!) have any more questions or want to know more about a particular aspect, just send ‘em my way!

You seem to be the person that I follow who knows the most about fanfic, and I kinda want to get into reading it again. I used to read a lot of phan or supernatural stuff and now I read none, lol. Can you rec me LAMP or any pairing between the light sides or platonic fics with happy endings? Even if it's the most basic ones that everyone has read, I probably haven't. Thanks so much!

*cracks knuckles*

this is gonna be a long one. it’ll go title, pairing, then super basic plot summary, so. below the cut!

as far as self-promotion goes, i’ll get that out of the way first and rec you some of my most popular stuff in this fandom. these links will be to ao3, though you can also find them on my tumblr:

where you lead, i will follow (romantic moxiety, romantic logince): 150k of a gilmore girls au that absolutely no one asked me for, you do not need to have read the show to read this. it’s slowburn friends-to-lovers moxiety and childhood friends-to-lovers for logince, this fic follows patton, who was a pregnant trans teen who ran away to the tiny town of sideshire, his son, logan, who just got accepted into one of the most prestigious high schools in the state, patton’s parents, emily and richard, who clash often with their son, virgil, the owner of the local diner and reason all the locals have not developed scurvy, and roman, a teenage dancer/dance instructor who just so happens to have a crush on his best friend. this is a big personal favorite of mine, and i’m still writing in that verse, so.

lavender for luck (romantic polyamlamp): the fae family has been cursed with magic dating back two hundred years. with great power, however, comes a great price; any man or woman who falls in love with a fae is doomed to die. virgil fae is trying his best to ensure that that does not happen. as is his uncle, dee. however, three of the friends he makes at college makes that increasingly difficult, for him.

my true love gave to me (romantic prinxiety, romantic logicality): a christmas-centric fic of four roommates, all of which are in love with each other in some way. follow these disaster gays being wooed or attempting to woo their crush in time to make out under some mistletoe. (this fic was nominated for best overall in the fander fic awards on tumblr.)

not you again (romantic prinxiety): inexplicably my most popular fic in terms of tumblr notes, this follows roman being a Gay Disaster Barista who is crushing hard on one of his regulars, who unfortunately has a boyfriend (or does he?) ft. remy (aka the sleep character from thomas’ short vids.)

dance partner (platonic royality): the popularity of this one is also due to the fanart made by the incredible sanderstribute, roman takes patton for a night of dancing on the town.

okay, that’s enough of my stuff. this section is mostly “fandom essentials” in that most people have either read them or are familiar with them, in some way. a lot of these are kind of old-school fander fics, but they’re still really good and a good introduction to fandom! mostly the most kudos/bookmarked fics on ao3. also a pretty good starting point to a variety of popular fic-types in this fandom.

to build a home (romantic logicality) by avalorouschoice on ao3: patton and logan adopt virgil from an orphanage. this is a lot of found family, kid-growing-closer-to-the-family, and it’s just. i Like It A Lot and i’m definitely due for a re-read of it, it’s just very sweet

starved (polyamlamp, ft. thomas) by @randomslasher: honestly, it was tough to pick just one randomslasher fic to put on the list (if you’d like more fandom essentials, i’d argue that lj has written a toooon of them so just reading through their fics would be good!) but this one kind of had to win out. this fic boils down to “virgil needs hugs desperately and hides how desperately he needs them from the other sides, the other sides find out, the other sides give him hugs.” that’s... yeah. that’s the one. it’s Good Stuff.

of trying and towers (romantic prinxiety) by @parsnipit: similarly difficult to parse down any parsnipit fics! a lot of their stuff ranks among my personal favorites, so again, just reading down the list of what they’d got is a Good Call especially once upon a dream, which is similarly one of those “fandom essentials.” this fic in particular is about thomas in medieval times, stuff goes wrong, and all the sides split up and are turned into what they hate/fear, and it’s their journey of teaming up together again and defeating the evil ruler in place of the kingdom. there’s dragons. it’s Good Stuff.

it’s only logical (romantic logicality, romantic prinxiety) by @tinysidestrashcaptain: logan owns a flowershop and hires single dad patton, while his best friend virgil, who owns a coffee shop, and roman flirts with virgil a lot. very cute, very sweet, kid thomas is Great! again, tstrashcaptain has a lot of the stuff i’d call “fandom essentials,” so. those! all good stuff!

silence and duality (platonic lamp) by @xaandiir: one of the first takes on the whole “dark sides” aspect we had, back in the day, this fic follows along with the sort of psychology/mentality of the sides as children, as they grow up, and the potential of what could happen to one of the dark sides, especially if they were rejected. i’m trying not to spoil it too much, but! again! good stuff!!

insomnia (platonic lamp) by @xaandiir: virgil cannot sleep, attempts to hide it from the other sides, and the other sides find out. Good Stuff. let the boy take a nap

learning & loving verse (romantic prinxiety, romantic logicality) by @virgilsjourney: jenna’s just... yeah, lots of really good fics there! again! a college verse fic in which Pining Roommates feature; virgil helps roman through some stage fright (trying not to spoil it!) to eventually star as fiyero in wicked, and the realization of Feelings throughout. good stuff!

college verse (platonic lamp) by @princelogical: again! one of those Really Great Authors to just read a ton of their stuff! this one in particular is a college verse, in which all the sides have various emotional reckonings. really great character development, really great backstory. i will say read the warnings, just in case!

and now, for some of my personal favorites. this is only a fraction of my favorite fics, and if you’d like more of my personal recommendations, i have a whole tag for fanfic! (if there’s an indent under, it just means ‘more by this author!’)

love and other fairytales (polyamlamp) by @tulipscomeinallsortsofcolors: ohhh my fuckin god. worldbuilding a+, characterization a+, plot a+. have you ever wanted faerie!virgil and changeling!logan and witch!roman and a-little-cursed!patton??? you do! trust me you do! i have no idea how to describe it without spoiling any of the plot, however, i will say that this is basically just Straight Up a novel and has developed a little fandom of itself which is honestly so lovely to see, so!

faded with uncertainty (romantic prinxiety): in the aftermath of ‘dealing with intrusive thoughts,’ roman finds virgil crying in the midst of the mindscape and comforts him in the aftermath of That Reveal that virgil had in the video

blanket!verse (romantic prinxiety, romantic logicality): a few oneshots of varying topics, this deals with virgil and his anxiety in his new relatinoship, as well as patton’s tendency to hide emotions, with fluff involved in each. (canoodling especially it’s so soft and fluffy and just!!!)

track seven (romantic logicality): logan struggles with his emotions and snaps and blows up at everyone; patton tries his best to get to the bottom of it.

lovely, dark, and deep (romantic analogical) by @teacupfulofstarshine: MERMAIDS!!!! virgil’s a doctoral student and thomas is his advisor, and logan, roman, and patton are all mermaids, of a sort. very good, very gay, the imagery is spectacular and it is Good! Stuff!!!

little and broken (but still good): moxiety as dads! logan, roman, and thomas are their kids! they’re all so good! so cute! really great family feels! i cry every single time! the domesticity! the FLUFF! it is a masterpiece!

the pattonella au (romantic analogical, romantic royality): oh my actual god, star, YOUR MIND, this au is just such a wonderful take on the cinderella fairytale and putting it within the context of the sides with its own little twists and turns, they are Cute and Good and the development of the relationship in the aftermath of a cinderella-type event is just chef’s kiss

living in the real world (ain’t it fun): the sides coalesce into the real world, and thomas is KIND OF FREAKING OUT about it; they’re having trouble adjusting, at first, but since the work’s still in progress you can see them kind of slowly coming to terms with it and it’s just a take on the “sides become people” au that i’ve never really seen before so!!!!!!

stardust sleeper (and the college!verse in general): logan gets to take the nap He Deserves, there are Cute Accents in here, and it’s just a very cute, very good domestic slice-of-life in the midst of the chaos that is college. it’s Very Cute and Very Sweet and please just read it oh my god????

internal bleeding (past romantic logicality, romantic prinxiety) by @princelogical: virgil and roman come to visit patton at christmas, in the aftermath of patton’s husband’s death; his husband is very aware that he’s dead, but he hasn’t been able to leave yet. angst, hurt/comfort, Oh My Fuckin God

the queerplatonic logince verse: logan and roman are in a queerplatonic relationship, and the stuff that entails. i just really like it whenever someone focuses on aro or ace sides, and i think this is a really well-done portrayal of the fact that relationships absolutely do not need to be romantic in order to be significant.

i feel like it’s just me: patton is a professional cuddler, and the people he meets in the course of that job, ft. some patton angst and general thoughts about loneliness. to quote, “this is more of a concept piece,” but i very much like the concept

lists.: just a short, sweet lil thing about the other sides appreciating logan.

hold your breath until it’s okay by insertfandomjoke, @notafeeling on tumblr: a brooklyn 99 style au in which logan is the captain, and virgil, roman, and patton are the detectives—it’s a “Five Times They Closed a Case Without Anyone Getting Hurt and the One Time They Didn't” au.

in which we are all virgil: in which virgil stares at elliott and thinks “oh no they cute!!!” and also presents elliott as joan’s anxiety and dr. picani as a fusion between patton and logan and it just. Good!

sweaters: patton makes his boyfriends all christmas sweaters and They Cute

habits (romantic logicality) by @astralbone: human au, slice-of-life kind of thing. the characterizations are Very Good and honestly i just really love to read it. both of them are hurting and their life may not be perfect but they’re fitting together and it’s just. it’s Very Good

sanders sides ficlets by @virgilsjourney: ranging a variety of topics/timespans in terms of the series, there is a ton here. you want movie night fluff? it’s here! you want hurt/comfort angst in which roman is locked away like in the snow queen? you got it! you want logan and patton mend up after moving on???? it’s here! just a lot of really good stuff!!!!!!

blink back to let me know (romantic moxiety, hinted romantic logince) by @virgilsanxiety and @shakespearesocks: virgil and patton are both pining, logan and roman don’t get paid enough for this, and they are Good Soft Boys who maybe need to improve a bit at communication

logic’s notebooks (romantic analogical) by @parsnipit: logan keeps notebooks about all the sides and feels bad about it; in the midst of all this, some Very Great domestic analogical

and you lied to all your selves (romantic prinxiety, romantic logicality) by penrosequartz: i haven’t read this in a minute, but it’s a prinxiety fic in which they get closer, and virgil is being, well, anxious, and i’d recommend you read the warnings but!!! loosely structured, good characterization, it’s just some! good! stuff!

migraine (analogical) by @theonlyjelly-iwillput-inmybelly (philosophicalrune on ao3): virgil is overworking himself through a migraine, logan helps him feel better, and tries his best to make virgil feel better. it’s cute and sweet and very good in terms of hurt/comfort, i tend to go back to it whenever school is stressing me out, so that should tell you something!

smile (platonic moxiety) by @doggo-fiends-on-a-spaceship: to steal their alternative title, “Alternatively titled: Virgil has a nightmare and wants a hug, but being emotionally constipated, Cannot Ask for one.” virgil has a nightmare and spends the night in patton’s room; the trouble is, patton did not know that he was doing that until he nearly trips over virgil. they are Good Boys and it’s just Real Nice

again, this is a tiny, miniscule fraction of really spectacular fics in this fandom—there’s a lot of talented people here, so happy reading!

#fanfic #i know you said mostly happy endings and i think most of these qualify #but some of them are really angsty in terms of their like. 'happy ending'ness. so!#brightbrightpink

Now my mind has a dramatic mindscape au where, as twins, Dee and Ro grew up together, until Patton discovered sides were different from each other. As in some sides were "light" and some sides were "dark". Ro ends up being a light side, and splits from Dee because, "What you're doing isn't right! You're-You're acting like a dark side!" "Maybe because im NOT one, genius." Dee is upset because he's losing his twin to "Light/Dark" side prejudice. Sad snek uwu.

ouch, the aaaaaaaaangst!

Other Works in Progress

Nine Nails in a Coffin - A (multichapter) assassin au where Logan, the best assassin in the world, is given one week to kill a preschool teacher. However with a charming reporter snooping around, a man Logan’s certain he killed before still walking the city, and the target being the epitome of kind obliviousness, it’s going to take him more than one time to get the job done. (Logicality and Prinxiety)

Trump Card - An au based on the anime Fairy Tail told in comic format. Roman dreamed of being a Mystic Eye Mage since he was a kid; Unfortunately he never got the chance.

(Platonic LAMP)

Bury the Body - A (mulitchaptered) Serial Killer au where Logan is a serial arsonist and he’s not the only killer terrorizing the city at night. Lots of Murder. And... a roadtrip? (They’re straight up trying to kill each other, okay)

Let Me Hear You Scream - An au where six boys wake up in an unknown location, without a clear way to escape, and there's a serial killer set on sacrificing them to a creepy shadow entity. (platonic Creativitwins)

Details in Gold - An au where Virgil bleeds magical healing flowers, Janus gets cursed into a gold statue, and a thousand peoples’ heroes are two people’s worst nightmares. (Anxceit, platonic Creativitwins)

Here Comes the Sun - An an based on the anime Fairy Tail, Virgil used to dream about being a hero, but the combination of his best friend's and his lives being at stake forces him to do some things good guys don't do and, well... that sort of thing doesn't seem to be in the cards anymore. And then he was sent to kidnap being Patton Hart. (Anxceit, platonic Dukexiety)

Dead Men Break No Codes - A two shot au where Rookie FBI agent Roman Prince is a certified genius in puzzle solving, and it just so happens the new serial killer is using puzzles to lead the FBI and police around. Someone should probably tell him to stop being so good at his job before something bad happens to him. (Platonic Roman and Everyone :D)

Smoke and Mirrors - A Big Bang Fic where Roman and Remus are totally normal college aged guys who just so happen to not have reflections which in turn gives them the ability to use reflective surfaces as portals to anywhere. Secret Agent Logan Ackroyd thinks this is utter bullshit and would tell them so, if he could avoid getting sold out by a traitor amidst his own team.
