Hero AU where apprentice!Tommy is SBI’s weak link.

He’s young, untrained, practically powerless. And though they seem to love him, Tommy’s heard plenty of other heroes mutter, “He’s not worth having around.”

So to prove them wrong, he lets himself get captured.

The first time’s an accident.

The last thing he sees is SBI, desperately trying to reach him — and even as he’s knocked out, all Tommy feels is a strange relief.

And then he wakes in a cell, the villain sneering outside.

“Let’s see how much they love you.”

Tommy’s heart stops — and not just from fear.

Because that’s what he wants, what he *needs* — their love, as something more substantial than hair ruffles and light compliments. He wants to prove he’s family, like they claim he is.

And if he has to get hurt to test it, so be it.

One flawless hostage exchange later, and Tommy’s overjoyed.

SBI hadn’t just rescued him. They hardly let him go, clinging to him with teary eyes & refusing to leave his side. With them, his wounds don’t even sting.

But it doesn’t last as long as Tommy wants it to.

“You realize how costly that was.”

It’s another hero, talking outside the medbay door. Tommy drifts, barely conscious, the twins dozing at his bedside. (They haven’t left. Tommy’s heart glows at that fact.)

Then, Phil’s voice.

“It was worth it.”

“Was it?”

Tommy blinks blearily, straining to hear Phil’s voice. “What?”

“Was it really worth it?” the hero scoffs, their voice a living poison. “For *him?*”

And, just for a moment… Phil hesitates.

“Of course it was.”

That hesitation festers in Tommy’s mind.

Phil would give anything for his sons. Everyone knows they're worth the world to him.

And Tommy… Tommy’s not sure if he counts as ‘son.’

So the next time a villain hits him too hard?

Tommy lets himself pass out — and get captured.

It’s stupid, and he knows it.

But he’s not strong enough to earn their pride in that fight — but maybe, injured, scared, and beaten, he’s weak enough to get their pity.

(And, in the painful haze, that looks close enough to love.)

“Oh god, Tommy, you scared us.”

It’s Wilbur that rushes to him once the second hostage exchange is completed, tackling him in an embrace. Techno & Phil aren’t far behind, stoic hero personas forgotten in their desperate relief.

And with that love, Tommy can relax.

(He tries not think about how the villain’d pushed him to the verge of death, convinced he had no other use.

Or the vague look of surprise once they’d heard SBI wanted him back.

At least now the wounds are getting him soft touches & kind words.

At least he knows he’s wanted.)

But it’s wrong, this time.

“Gotta get back to work,” Techno says, patting Tommy’s hand as he stands from beside the hospital bed. “Get some rest, kid.”

“You’re leaving?” Tommy croaks, flinching. Techno pauses, brow furrowing.

“It’s alright. Wilbur will stay with you.”

*But you won’t,* Tommy thinks. *Why… why not?*

There’s no answer.

It takes longer to heal this time. Plenty of time for Tommy to stew in that uncertainty, heart rotting under the weight of it.

So the moment he steps foot back on the battlefield, he knows what he needs to do.

He’s still fragile from old wounds. It makes sense how he’s overpowered, beaten into the glass-strewn ground. Always the weak link.

Techno and Phil whirl toward him, but too far to help.

But Wilbur’s just yards away, screaming, “Tommy—”

He’s knocked out.

He wakes alone. That part makes sense.

What doesn’t make sense is the lack of chains around his wrists, the absence of fists thrown into his gut, the blankets thrown surgically over him.

Because he’s in the League’s medbay.

But no one’s at his side.

It’s a wonder he can stand (with no one to hold him up).

He finds Phil hurrying down the hall at a breakneck pace. Tommy collapses into him, crying out in pain but still forcing his words out.

“Where— where were you? Where’s Techno and Wil?”

*Why didn’t you stay with me?*

But Phil—

Phil pushes him off.

Not harsh. Just… careless. Like he has something more important to think about.

And he does. Because with a wavering, broken voice, he utters two horrible words.

“Wilbur’s gone.”

Gone.

More accurately, “captured.”

Because no villain who choose to take *Tommy.*

They’d choose the hero who’d recklessly, desperately tried to save him, throwing all caution to the wind.

And with how Tommy’s forgotten?

It’s clear everyone else would choose Wilbur, too.

Nomination Overview - Superhero/Superpower AU

Oh you know we were gonna have superhero aus nominated, have you SEEN this fandom? Out of the 183 source materials nominated so far, we have 14 superhero AUs. Let's take a look at them.

Title: catbag Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/43929327/chapters/110455053 Fandom: Dream SMP Author: supinetothestars Relationships: Wilbur Soot & Technoblade & TommyInnit & Phil Watson, Wilbur Soot & TommyInnit, Wilbur Soot & Technoblade, Tubbo & TommyInnit, Niki | Nihachu & TommyInnit, Quackity & Wilbur Soot Characters: TommyInnit, Tubbo, Wilbur Soot, Philza, Technoblade, Dream, Quackity, Jack Manifold, Nihachu, GeorgeNotFound Length of the work: 60,459 words (incomplete fic) Genre: Action/Adventure, Angst, AU, Family, Found Family, Hurt/Comfort, Superhero/Superpower AU Type: Fic Summary: Tommy's called Blindspot for a reason. He’s not invisible, as he’s reminded Dream time and time again - people can definitely see him. They just don’t notice. He blends into plain sight, totally diverting all attention like water off of a duck. Usually, anyway. Orpheus, however, stiffens a little as Tommy draws nearer. He starts glancing around, as if struck by sudden paranoia. Tommy draws up in front of him, staff clenched in one hand, and Orpheus starts turning as if to check behind him. “What’s that,” Orpheus mutters. “Who’s there-“ Tommy pulls his staff back and slams it into Orpheus’s stomach, hard. Orpheus stumbles. He wheezes, choking, and then looks up at Tommy and fixes him with a burning stare. “Who the fuck are you,” Orpheus says, eyes wild and oddly delighted. “Where were you hiding?” __ Suspected of betraying the Hero Guild, Apprentice hero Tommy (A.K.A. Blindspot) is put under Security Protocol Catbag: a locked-on noise cancelling mask equipped with truth gas. His mentor, Dream, calls it a necessary teaching tool. Meanwhile, SBI wants to know why their least favorite loudmouth little Hero has suddenly stopped talking.

Title: The Totem of Undying Job Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/32651152/chapters/80995606 Fandom: Dream SMP Author: antimony_medusa Relationships: Nihachu & Technoblade & Phil Watson & Ranboo & Tubbo & Wilbur Soot, Nihachu & Wilbur Soot, Technoblade & Philza, Ranboo & Tubbo Characters: Ph1lza (Dream SMP), Technoblade (Dream SMP), Ranboo (Dream SMP), Quackity (Dream SMP), Clay | Dream (Dream SMP), Nihachu (Dream SMP), Tubbo Underscore (Dream SMP) Length of the work: 62,695 words Genre: Action/Adventure, AU, Superhero/Superpower AU Type: Fic Summary: “Brilliant,” said Philza. “If everybody’s here, then.” He clicked a button on a small remote and a screen behind him slid out of the wall. “This is the target for the next job. Las Nevadas.” The screen behind him showed a brilliant neon-lit street backed with blocky non-descript buildings. “Gambling site, research site, and absolute fucking political powerhouse. Estimated take for this job is twelve point five million. Each.” “So we’re hitting the casino?” Tubbo said, mouth full of cookie. “Fuck, too hot.” “The casino isn’t where the money is,” Technoblade cut in. “The casino bankrolls the research arm, which is so valuable at this point that their security is probably better than the casino.” “What we’re going after specifically is their latest development, a toy for the super-rich.” The display screens switched to show off a small gold figurine set with emeralds. “They market it as a ‘Totem of Undying’, and it’s the best medical assistance money can buy.” Or: Everybody in this heist gets superpowers and competence, including (unfortunately) our antagonists.

Title: Tangotek Evil Incorporated Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/48665086/chapters/122758744 Fandom: 3rd Life SMP Author: onawhimsicot Relationships: TangoTek & Jimmy, TangoTek & Grian, Grian & Jimmy Characters: TangoTek, Jimmy Solidarity, Grian, EthosLab, BdoubleO100 Length of the work: 22,445 words Genre: Action/Adventure, AU, Humour, Superhero/Superpower AU Type: Fic Summary: As the supervillain Dr. Blaze, Tango has a penchant for oddly named "ificators" and stylistic flair. He spends his days trying to take over the city, shaming superheroes for their basic costume designs, and then sending said heroes home with better equipment that actually matches their aesthetic because clearly, if he wants a cool fight scene to happen, he's got to do everything around here himself. For some reason, not many people think he’s evil. On the bright side, the superhero Canary, does and has made it his personal mission to bring down Dr. Blaze! But when he suddenly goes missing, Canary's partner, Parrot, is convinced that Tango is at fault. Seeing as this is not true at all (kidnapping is so gauche), Tango is offended that someone is trying to steal his nemesis right from under his nose. If Tango wants to get his nemesis back, he'll have to work together with Parrot to find and rescue Canary from whatever danger he's got himself into this time. Because, after all, what's a supervillain without a nemesis?

Title: the arrangement Link: here Fandom: Hermitcraft SMP Author: cornpapers Relationships: Grian & Scar Characters: Grian, GoodTimesWithScar Length of the work: not applicable Genre: Superhero/Superpower AU Type: Art Summary: Art of a meeting between Hotguy and the (seemingly antagonistic) Poultry Man, with a really intriguing dynamic.

Of course, not everything goes as simply as they hope. What disasters and troubles await these two detectives in the small town of Hermitville? Only one way to find out!

Title: Desert Duo Vigilante AU [DDVAU] Link: here Fandom: Hermitcraft SMP Author: kitsuneisi & xmaruu11 Relationships: Scar/Grian [Romantic], Grian & Jimmy [Platonic], Cub & Scar [Platonic] Characters: Grian / CuteGuy & Scar / HotGuy Length of the work: Not applicable (comic) Genre: AU, Superhero/Superpower AU Type: Art Summary: Hero HotGuy fights crime with Vigilante Cuteguy. There is a love dynamic going on [Grian loves Scar, Hotguy loves Cuteguy, but Scar only thinks of Grian as a friend & Cuteguy thinks Hotguy is annoying] They don't know each others super hero identities but fight crime together. Scar and Grian teach at a school together outside of their hero duties.

Title: the whole world tastes like home Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/35483008 Fandom: Dream SMP Author: fensandmarshes Relationships: Wilbur Soot & Technoblade & TommyInnit & Philza Characters: tommy, wilbur, philza, techno Length of the work: 5,286 words Genre: AU, Friendship, Found Family, Modern AU, Superhero/Superpower AU Type: Fic Summary: Listen, it wasn’t Tommy’s intention to get hit by a car! Luckily, the kind gentleman in the waiting room of the ER was a match for his blood type and offered a transfusion while the (mildly incompetent) hospital staff were panicking. But now Tommy’s sprouted wings. He didn’t think blood transfusions did that! Meanwhile, Philza, the city’s most beloved superhero, has a rather sudden realization that he can transfer his powers by transferring DNA.

Title: Consequences of the Dead Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30643691/chapters/75602693 Fandom: Dream SMP Author: Lisbis Relationships: Wilbur Soot & Technoblade & TommyInnit & Philza, Wilbur Soot & Quackity Characters: Wilbur Soot, TommyInnit, Technoblade, Philza, Quackity Length of the work: 66432 words Genre: Action/Adventure, Angst, AU, Canon-Divergent, Fix-It, Found Family, Humour, Hurt/Comfort, Superhero/Superpower AU, Dimension Travel AU Type: Fic Summary: Wilbur rolls his eyes. “I’m just patching you up out of some misplaced sense of guilt or nostalgia or whatever; after this, you can try and arrest me again as much as you want-” “Nostalgia?” Tommy interrupts. He squints at the figure, all confusing tangents and cynical jokes, the bird still perched on his head. “What, do I know you or something?” Wilbur’s face darkens. He reaches out a hand, rubbing absently at a long slash going through his trench coat, a tear in the seams of it all. Tommy stills. “No,” the villain finally mutters with a brittle laugh. “No, you don’t.” … Or: Superhero AU in which Wilbur, upon waking up in an alternate universe, accidentally becomes a villain. Maybe not a very good one, though - he remains insanely, outrageously protective over the very heroes (and vigilante) hunting him down.

Title: Internet Stalking Is Actually Really Hard, You Guys Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/51240862 Fandom: Dream SMP Author: MossWizard Relationships: Tubbo/Ranboo, Tubbo&Ranboo Characters: Tubbo, Ranboo Length of the work: 1,607 words Genre: AU, Superhero/Superpower AU Type: Fic Summary: Tubbo investigates who Ranboo is and what they’re capable of after an unfortunate vision.

Glimpse into the lives of two that hold an eternal bond through both company and absence, two that hold a safety to the other that it never needs to be said in the first place. There lies a love that time and time again will shine through as long as the universe allows them to hold it, as they get torn apart and reunited time and time again. It is messy and out-of-order, but that's them, and that means they're together. And wouldn't have it any other way.

I also really liked Butterfly Reign because while it’s “Dark SBI” Dream doesn’t get watered down to a Wilbur stand in and gets to be his own character. Like he’s got a soft spot for Tommy and treats him like a friend, equal, and apprentice— however he does have his own interests and he’s still a cunning prince from a southern kingdom with dark connections and even darker secrets (also lots of trauma!!).

Also he says fuck the monarchy a lot. Like he didn’t grow up as a prince, he was a pirate first and foremost and it shows.

ogh i love pirate dream arghhhh. i remember the fanarts he liked by wolflyn cries

Necromancer! sbi au

Angel's Brain Dump part ??? (I've been really bad at keeping track of these)

I wrote a bit based off this post that I made a while ago but I'm never going to turn it into a story so here it is!

Necromancers are highly illegal and Tommy is definitely not a necromancer (maybe he isn't entirely sure he is/denial or maybe he's just trying to start a new life) who moved to this city to start fresh from the trainwreck event where he grew up (what that was is up to y'all). However, when a gang of necromancer/supernatural hunters come sniffing around and Tommy keeps running into this weird, suspicious blond guy who may or may not be who the hunters are looking for, his new life plan proceeds to crumble to dust. (Also Tommy may or may not be Phil's legitimate child and he may or may not have accidentally made friends with a bunch of ghosts and end up getting caught for (accidental) necromancy as well)

I thought it could be either in three parts or three stories where Tommy 1. realizes/accepts he's a necromancer, runs from the police and becomes phil's apprentice, 2. sbi bonding and adoption, necromancy-ing and more of tommy running from his past while Phil eventually figures out "hey this might be that kid I left behind", then 3.tommy's past comes back to haunt him, drama, the hunters are back, sbi band together fluff

Anyway, here's what I've written! (As always feel free to use it just let me know if you write this! I'd love to read it)

Tommy Meets Some Definitely Not Ghosts

There are three steadfast rules for working the closing shift at McPuffy’s:

1. The doors and windows must be closed and locked strictly by 10 and not a minute later

2. Absolutely do not forget to lay salt lines by the front and back doors and on the window sills before you leave

3. Make sure all the food is put away securely

Unfortunately, by some grievous oversight, Tommy was not informed of these rules.

But it would probably be fine. Niki made sure to keep powerful protection charms and wards all around the cafe, just in case. Only a powerful necromancer could let ghouls in with those around, and L’manberg hasn’t seen a necromancer in decades.

Niki had to leave work at the last minute, so when Puffy asked him to close, she forgot he was quite new, not just to McPuffy’s—her and Niki’s joint cafe and bakery, the local favorite—but also to the town itself. Tommy didn’t see this as an issue; he was not thinking about it because he wasn’t aware that it was important to be thought about at the time. He had also never had to leave late enough or come in early enough to notice the salt lines and the scattered grains on the tables before they were swept away so the customers wouldn’t have to see them either.

So Tommy broke that rule. Not on purpose, of course, but he didn’t lay the salt lines. Niki had already started closing before she left, so there wasn’t much for him to do, thankfully, but as he was new to this and only got some vague instructions from Puffy before she also had to leave, was going considerably slower than she or Niki would have, trying to make sure he did it right. He didn’t really know the proper procedure for closing up, but that was fine. Tommy figured that if no one was here to tell him he did it wrong, then by default, he was correct. Of course he was—he was Big Man Tommyinnit, he was always correct in everything he did. He made sure to close down the espresso machine and restock milk for the next day, made sure all refrigerated items went back in the big fridge in the back and that the freezer for Niki’s ingredients was set to the right temperature and running and he wiped all the counters and pitchers. Somewhere along the way, he had put down the keys Puffy had given him and forgotten where, so that took several minutes of scouring all the counters and food storage areas to find again (they were right by the cash register, slightly hidden underneath). He locked the back doors and checked that the windows were closed—not that this was a dangerous area, but he didn’t know. It was better to be safe than sorry.

By the time he was walking around the back counter and heading for the door, the clock read 10:03.

Tommy thought he was doing great.

As he was walking to the front doors, something caught his eyes. One of the tables simply looked off. The salt, pepper and sugar were filled, thanks to Niki, but-

Oh, well that was strange. Salt grains were spilled all over the top of the table and in no small amount. Tommy frowned and wiped all of it into a small white mountain in his palm. Niki was usually such a perfectionist, why would she leave all this? Actually, there were some on that table too. And that one!

Completely bewildered, Tommy went around the entire cafe/bakery, swiping salt into a small trash bag (because two tables worth was more than he could fit in his hand), hardly even knowing what else to question about this. It was so out of the ordinary! Maybe she was feeling really sick and that’s why she had to leave? I should ask her if she’s ok. He shook his head and wandered into the back to throw the bag in the trash.

When Tommy came out again, fiddling with the keys and ready to leave, he almost screamed. There, sitting at table 3 were two boys who most certainly were not there before and he didn’t hear them come in. Oh fucking hell, now I gotta tell these guys to go away. It would have been easier if they were adults, but they were kids, probably his age with no adult supervision either. Everything was harder with people his age.

One was rather short, with fluffy, curly brown hair, in a green army jacket-ish thing with lots of pockets, turned away from him at the table and facing his friend. The other had split dyed hair, bright eyes and a sweater with sleeves rolled up over a white shirt. Tommy had never had issues with his vision, but he couldn't see them very well from over here.

Getting closer, he realized that both boys were pretty thin, the tall one especially (he must have been the tallest person Tommy had ever seen), with dark bags under their eyes and pale skin. That...was starting to paint a picture he didn't like. The tall one especially, again, was paler than death, but had darkness crawling up his wrists and in part of his hair, particularly encompassing the left half of his body. He turned his head to look at Tommy and before he immediately looked away again, Tommy caught the flash of green and red eyes.

What the fuck?

Tommy stared. They must be fucking cosplayers or something, he decided. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, scolding himself for what he knew he was probably about to do. He stopped the the side of their table. "You guys know we're closed, right?"

"The door was open," the short one replied innocently. Was it? I thought I closed it? Tommy could see the familiar gleam of cheek in his eyes--well, eye. The right one was grayish and dead looking. Tommy didn't comment on it, it wasn't his place.

"The food is already packed away," Tommy told them, hoping they would get the hint and leave.

"I'm sorry, we're just so hungry, please could you give us something?"

"The food here is amazing," the tall one added.

Just as he predicted, Tommy caved. "Fuckin- fine. What do you want? Make it easy or you're not getting shit."

"Ooh! Ooh! A honey bun!"

"Just a tall iced chai and an egg sandwich for me please. Unless you guys finally put spaghetti on the menu. Did you?"

"Does this look like Olive Garden to you? No we don't have spaghetti." The blonde rolled his eyes. "Alright, gimme a sec."

Not that he was glad for it now, but at least he succeeded in putting the food away securely. It was a pain in the ass to get anything out again, but he grabbed an egg sandwich and a honey bun and popped them in the microwave together and started making the chai. Now, if anyone else comes in, you gotta tell them to fuck off, or you'll be here all night, he scolded himself.

The two boys were waiting patiently and chatting, both bursting into laughter every few minutes. Tommy almost wanted to go be apart of their conversation. Almost. One did not simply insert themselves into customers conversations, even if he wasn't going to make them pay. He turned back around and watched the microwave intently. A creeping chill started up his back that he couldn't ignore. It was sickeningly familiar, but no one else was here to call him strange or whisper about him in secret, so it didn't matter; he let it be even if it's very presence pissed him off. The microwave dinged.

When he turned around again the shadows in the corners seemed larger than ever before, but he was used to that, especially at night. Actually, it was surprising how little it had happened since moving here--Tommy almost dared to think-

"Here you go." Both boys' eyes lit up when he placed the food in front of them. Almost literally.

"Thanks bossman!"

"Yes, thank you!" It must have been Tommy's imagination, but they both scarfed down the food impossibly fast, mouths opening wider than they should be able too. In moments, everything (not that there was much) was gone. Tommy blinked in surprise, but once again decided not to think about it. Thank the gods for small mercies, he thought instead. Now he could go home. He swept his gaze once more around the cafe to make sure no one else had snuck in when he wasn't looking and cleared their table.

Turning around, he called out, "Alright, now it's time for you to leave-" but they were already gone.

Tommy only stared for a moment before forcing a shrug and a sigh and walking out the doors, being careful to lock them behind him.

------------------

The worst thing about working a closing shift was opening the next morning. Also his first time doing, but he again didn't think that mattered, especially when he was the one who closed the night before so even if he did it wrong, he knew where everything was and the boss would never know. Besides, first thing monday morning, the cafe and bakery were both pretty dead, so he had some time to himself.

After whipping up a quick macchiato for one of their regulars, Tommy let himself grab a pastry from the bakery stores and fucked around on his phone until someone else demanded his attention. His mind was idle enough that flappy bird was plenty to keep him busy, but his brain was also rude and decided to wake up and start thinking about everything else. Everything he shouldn't be.

The boy's mouth opened wide, the edges almost seeming jagged, but it must be a trick of the light, right? His lips are too thin, split with several spidery lines of dried blood. The shadows flicker around him like friends-

Stop. He wasn't thinking about that. Y'know what? He wasn't even sure it really happened. Must have been some weird fever dream. He was tired, they were just some late night assholes who don't know the meaning of the word "closed".

The short boy's canines were sharp. Sharp enough that he noticed. Playful dark, dark blue eyes sat in a face so pale he looked like a gho-

Tommy's flappy bird crashed and died, little cowboy hat falling off when it hit the ground. 0/10. Not pogchamp.

The blonde huffed and restarted the game, keeping careful eye on the number in the corner steadily ticking up, up, up-

Their mouths were stretching, insides dark and empty, their limbs moved stiff and deadly still, not even the slightest quiver in the cafe's chill. When the tall one's hand moved in front of the purple mug on the shelf behind him, Tommy thought he could still see it, just faintly, the outline of it's delicate handle. They were see through they were see through not human not alive gho-

"Hey!"

Tommy's head shot up and he had to hold in a spooked gasp, fumbling not to drop his phone. His eyes flickered around the front counter, for a moment not seeing the tall brunette until he dinged the little bell again. The tinny sound bounced around loudly in his skull, obnoxiously impossible to ignore.

---------

"Hey, are you alright?"

Foolish was muttering something frantically to Puffy with a horror stricken look. When Tommy got closer he could only hear her reply, “call the Exterminators”

It was later at the end of the shift when he overheard their conversation again. “They’re busy dealing with a necromancy job.” Tommy could feel the blood drain from his face and the exact moment Foolish noticed him. “Hey, Tommy, you alright? You look like you’ve seen a ghost!” Foolish's chuckle at his own joke cut off abruptly when Puffy punched him.

--------

@wilbur "Um- I'm sorry sir, I'm not sure I'm legally allowed to give you that many shots."

===

someone: are you a criminal?

Tommy: not here

------

"They're saying that the traveling necromancer has showed up in our city!" His heart rate was racing and blood static buzzed in his ears, blocking out some of Puffy and Foolish's conversation. "...all over the...Supposedly he's from Logstedshire-"

Tommy choked. Bile rose in his throat and he couldn't breathe from the way nausea was creeping higher and higher until he wanted to puke. Logstedshire?!

------

“Don’t worry,” the Hunter—Dream—said, putting a not-so-reassuring hand on Tommy’s shoulder, “I know a necromancer when I see one.”

———-

Tommy Innit is the name on all of his legal documents, the name on his library card and the name that'll be on his driver's licence if he ever gets a car, but considering that he's an 18 year old, living on minimum wage and on the run, that wasn't likely to happen soon. Maybe he should have picked a name further away from Thomas-

-----

"What's you name, kid?"

"Tommy Innit."

The man frowned at him. "No, what's your real name."

"That is my real name," Tommy answered through gritted teeth. "Do you want me to prove it to you?"

--------------------

Tommy Becomes a Necromancer

--“Now hurry the fuck up before I necromancy you to death

That seems a bit counter intuitive, don’t you think?

Not the way I do it

And how’s that?

Stab and necromance. “

It’s Tommy and Wilbur 100%

(chapter name?) Being Dead is No Excuse

——

Someone: it’s too late, he’s already dead

phil: *cracks knuckles* I didn’t get my medical licence revoked for nothing

——-

"Just kill me already," Wil groaned.

-----

Technoblade hated being brought back from the dead.

The worst part was the cold. He has been fucking freezing since the moment he woke up and it’s barely gotten better. Oh, and not to mention the manner in which he woke up in the first place. He was screaming—not outwardly, his vocal cords hadn’t been used in decades, possibly centuries and they weren’t ready for that yet—everything was so loud and so painful and the voices came back almost immediately, giving him a splitting headache as if the burn in his lungs and the scratching of his throat and the mind numbing ache of his bones wasn’t bad enough. Technoblade had dealt with pain, but his nerves were fresh and he had never dealt with it well anyway.

He couldn’t get up right away. At first he didn’t even know what had happened or that he was laying face up in a necromancer’s lair, much less that he was alive again, really. It was disorienting and confusingly numb and after the panic set in and then faded again once he could force himself to move again, he decided that his current state of Not-Quite-Alive-Not-Quite-Dead wasn’t really worth the experience. He had had a moment—only a moment really, to come to peace with the fact that he was dying when he did, and now he couldn’t even have that.

That was another thing. It was more uncomfortable than anything else, but he realized that he didn’t remember how he died. When he met the necromancer, he didn’t ask.

-----------------

Thomas Watson Doesn't Exist

"We can go with you, Phil, we love you, we don't mind!"

"It's not safe," he insisted.

"He's going to grow up without a father Phil!"

"He's going to grow up a normal fucking kid!"

That was the first time he had ever yelled at his wife. She accepted his rather tearful apology, but it was easier to leave after that.

---------

"Thomas Watson, you are under arrest for charges of blood manipulation, disrespect of burial grounds, summoning, and necromancy! Come out with your hands up!"

tell me more about the sbi pokemon au? im interested if you planned out any teams or gave backstories for any of the people/their main partner pokemon

HELLO YES I'D LOVE TO!!! i'll put it under the cut because it's a LOT of rambling and i don't know how to make my thoughts concise LOL (seriously this is very long)

i originally made the AU when the DSMP was still at its height of popularity, i think right after hannah joined? the story was going to follow benchtrio going all around sinnoh, meeting EVERYONE from the dsmp who were living their silly little AU lives, and getting tangled in a bunch of Lore with the lake trio and creation trio, but a combination of burnout & lack of interest in a lot of the CCs after a while made me eventually downscale it to just being SBI-centric instead and cutting out a lot of characters. I still really like some of the ideas I came up with before dropping them though, regardless of how half-baked they are LOL.

in the original version, benchtrio were going to have the three starters - tommy with chimchar, ranboo with piplup and tubbo with turtwig. they'd eventually get other pokemon as the story progresses but I didn't really plan much before dropping the idea oTL

tommy was gonna catch a shinx who'd match his energy and eventually a buneary like in the comic (itd be a really cute story of enemies to "i would kill and die for you" bc i love buneary starting with 0 friendship in the game LOL), ranboo was gonna catch an abra bc "hes anxious just like me fr" and tubbo was gonna catch an onix. bc he would and i think the image of him looking innocent in front of a giant fuck-off snake creature of Rocks is funny as hell LOL

the story would follow all of them getting badges and working together to be the regional champion but along the way they'd realise they wanna do other stuff instead - mostly ranboo with pokemon contests and tubbo with breeding, aiding phil in research (he'd create a little garden/pokemon nature reserve around lake verity IT WAS GONNA BE CUTE!!!). i don't remember tommy LOL

here's art for ranboo doing pokemon contests (this is 2 years old im better at designing characters now i promise. i promise)

off the top of my head i also know that niki was gonna own a chain of bakeries with the main one she's usually at in eterna city, with food-themed pokemon from all types of regions gifted to her by wilbur (MORE ON HIM SOON). eterna city specifically because the bike mechanic guy would be jack fucking manifold the absolute legend AND THEYRE BEST FRIENDS IN THIS AU TOO!!!! jack would have electric & steel-type pokemon but his partner would be pachirisu who's basically co-owned by niki as well :3

SBI TIME philza was gonna be the professor and his partner is a specific murkrow called "chatterbox", shortened to "chat". no i don't care if it's too easy. he's seen as kinda quirky, kinda scary, because he's constantly followed by (and arguing with) flocks of murkrow wherever he goes - SPEAKING OF I DIDNT SHOW ART OF THEM. RAAAA

wilbur was phil's son and he honestly just wanted to fuck around and find out. his curiosity landed him a solid position at his father's side as a sort of apprentice as well as son, and while he contributed a lot of helpful work he also mostly just liked travelling around with his partner drifblim, almost becoming the charismatic face for sinnoh's research team instead of his more blunt, off-putting father. that's how he introduced niki to food-related pokemon :33 also he's evil and fucked up but i'll get back to that

TECHNOBLADE MY BELOVED!!!!! the regional champion, moved to sinnoh from unova when he was 18 after dropping out of college due to mental health reasons and wanted a complete fresh restart in a new region, trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. he started physically training in the wild with pokemon, living essentially as a hermit and travelling all around sinnoh, learning to live peacefully and control his anxiety while befriending pokemon on the way. he met phil by chance when camping in a forest and phil was like wow ur strong why dont u try becoming champion and techno was like ??????? and phil challenged him to a battle and techno understandably sweeped him and his team off their feet. and phil was like Yeah Holy Fuck You're Strong. go do the thing. go challenge ppl. and techno was like yea sure why not. he has not lost a single battle :) also he kept meeting up with phil after gaining his first couple of badges, gaining a reputation for being unbeatable, and got gifted a cleffa by phil when venting about his stress and anxiety and stuff. cleffa became techno's emotional support partner and it makes me so so happy :33

this post is already so long i havent even properly scratched the surface of the story and this is only the original version... i'm sorry i'm not a very good storyteller especially when it's so hard for me to keep track of my thoughts :') lmk if anyone's interested in any more ajhaghja

Government Job After 10th

SSC MTS

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) in India administers the competitive SSC MTS or Staff Selection Commission Multi-Tasking Staff Examination. Candidates looking for multitasking staff positions in various government departments and ministries who have finished their 10th standard or equivalent education are eligible to take this exam.

Eligibility

Candidates must have finished their 10th standard or its equivalent from a recognized board or institution in order to be eligible for the SSC MTS. Candidates must meet certain age requirements, usually falling between the ages of 18 and 25, however, there are few exceptions for reserved categories.

Job Opportunities For 10th Pass Candidates

A 10th-pass candidate is eligible to work in the government sector. There are many different educational levels of government professions, with the minimum need for many of them being a 10th-grade education. These positions could be something like:

Class IV Jobs: These are often entry-level jobs requiring basic knowledge and abilities. These may include support staff, office attendants, and peons.

Police Constable: Candidates may apply for roles as police constables in specific areas if they have completed their tenth-grade schooling. But there can be other criteria, like written tests and physical fitness assessments.

Trade Apprentices: For those having a tenth-grade education, a number of government agencies and public sector organizations provide trade apprenticeships. Candidates can pick up specific talents while working in these professions.

Forest Guard: Candidates may need to pass written exams and physical fitness tests in addition to having completed a 10th-grade education in some areas.

Armed Forces: A 10th-grade education may be required for several positions offered by the Army and other branches of the armed forces. Similar to police posts, there are other requirements for selection.

Government Job After 12th

Depending on your interests and capabilities, you can apply for a variety of government exams in India after completing your 12th grade. The following are some of the government examinations available to applicants who have finished their 12th grade:

SSC CHSL (SSC Combined Higher Secondary Level)

Candidates who passed the 12th grade are eligible to take this exam, which covers jobs such as sorting assistant, postal assistant, data entry operator, and lower division clerk.

NDA (National Defense Academy)

For individuals who want to become officers in the Indian Army, Navy, or Air Force. This exam, which consists of written, interview, and physical fitness assessments, can be taken after the 12th.

CSE (Civil Services Examination)

Even though a bachelor's degree is required for eligibility, you can begin studying for the CSE after your senior year of high school and take the test as soon as you reach the minimum age and educational requirements.

Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force

Candidates who pass the 12th grade can apply for a variety of exams, including the Indian Army Soldier, Indian Navy Sailor, and Indian Air Force Group X & Y exams.

You can apply for banking employment by taking exams such as the SBI Probationary Officer (PO), SBI Clerk, and Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) Clerk.

Railway

The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) administers exams for Commercial Apprentice, Group D, Junior Clerk-cum-Typist, and candidates who may be eligible for a 12th pass.

Prior Experience

When it comes to jobs with the government, experience frequently counts. More senior roles may require a few years in a relevant field, even though entry-level jobs might not require any prior experience. For Entry-Level Positions, seats can be filled without a prior degree. On the other hand, for Experienced Positions having prior experience is a big plus for jobs in management or other specialized fields.

In many government positions, prior experience is extremely valuable; nonetheless, government agencies must maintain a balance between the requirement for experience and opportunities for fresh talent. Entry-level jobs, internships, and apprenticeships give people the opportunity to develop their careers in the public sector and get experience. This guarantees a balance between new concepts and developed experience, which enhances the general efficacy of government functions.

Age Limits

Many government jobs have specific age requirements, though they differ by position and area.

Age Limit: Be aware of the age limits for government jobs, which can be as high as 35 for some categories or as low as 18 for others.

Exceptions: Age exceptions may apply to some positions. Usually, these are determined by particular standards or conditions.

Additional Qualifications

Specific knowledge is needed for some government jobs in addition to general credentials.

Medical Requirements: Healthcare workers such as doctors and nurses must fulfill certain medical requirements.

Legal Requirements: To practice law in their jurisdiction, lawyers must meet the required qualifications.

Engineering Credentials: A license and compliance with professional engineering standards are prerequisites for engineers.

Nationality

Eligibility for government jobs can be significantly influenced by citizenship and residency status.

Citizenship Requirements: Only citizens of the nation are eligible for many government positions.

Residency Requirements: Candidates may need to be citizens of a specific state or area in order to be considered for certain roles.

How to Apply For Government Jobs?

Here are a few tips to follow before applying for government jobs:

Decide which particular industry or sector interests you.

Look for the requirements and eligibility for different positions.

Make a compelling cover letter and resume.

Stay up to date with the latest government job postings.

Follow the instructions of the Government Job Opportunities

Examine the application guidelines carefully if you find a position that suits your needs. Certain documentation, like transcripts, certificates, and references, may be required for government employment applications. Make certain that you supply all the necessary data precisely and by the deadline.

Conclusion

Getting hired by the government is a big accomplishment, but it also takes commitment and careful planning. You can improve your chances of entering the public sector by being aware of the requirements and taking the appropriate actions.
