FAULT: an SCP SBI AU @nomsfaultau - Tumblr Blog

Premise of SBI SCP AU

This is an au that has consumed me. This blog will just be a terrible mess of whatever I’m stuck on for the week, likely with little explanation and heavy spoilers. Anyway, the general vibe + anomalous properties are below cut:

nomsfaultau

Commissions: Writing and Art. Starts at 5$

All Nom commissions are prompt gifts for donations to charitable causes, such as the environment, social justice rights, or victims of wars. I will not cover topics of romance, sex, or write about George, Dream, or Wilbur.

Writing: Base 5$ gets a minimum of 300 words. 10$ 1,000 word minimum, 20$ 3,000. I also have no self-control, and there is no additional payment if the prompt is amazing and I break the world limit.

Drawing: Base 5$ gets a drawing in full color. 'Animatics' start at 40$ for a verse, and the price increases for color.

Project Guide

The tag 'crumbs to tide you over' is how I organize ficlets, wip sippets, and fic announcements. Personal tag is something to nom on. Wilbur tags are noms Wilbur or scp Wilbur if you want to block tags, and my PR response to that is here.

Ao3 fics:

Fault. The titular SBI SCP AU. SBI trapped in the Foundation. Lots of angst, large exploration of trauma, dehumanization, moral philosophies, and messed up found family. Tags are fault au, fault memes pog, sbi scp au, fault analysis, etc. This is a whole series and has many associated works. Long Fic.

>Also Where, then, do your loyalties lie? for AU where human Phil works for the Foundation and tries to free kid SCP Tommy. Complete.

Mandatory Family Reunion. Techno kidnapped by criminal dark SBI and handles it very poorly AU. Heavy dark em duo. Explores different types of abuse, motivations, delusions, and how love causes harm. Tag is Mandatory Family Reunion, sometimes mfr. Long Fic.

The Lambs Wolves Wear (Ficlet is here; starts at the Reveal and currently goes further than the ao3) Fully dark SBI where Philza's children were replaced by monsters. Demon "Tommy", changeling "Wilbur", and ghost army "Technoblade" are violent and traumatized, their tensely conflicting infiltration motives jeopardizing the lives of everyone in a twenty mile radius. As they experience love for the first time, will the wolves in sheeps clothing be tamed? Tw for abuse and horror. Long Fic.

Way more below, those are just my main projects ^-^

L'Manburg is a giant city-sized flying ship scraping through endless fog above a desolate world. It never lands, entirely self sufficient. Overcrowded as hell and bursting at the seams with generations of people with only bitter memories of a life off the ship, there is quite literally nowhere to escape to.

Not even in death.

Medicine has advanced like crazy and so it’s super hard for most people to die. Philza is an Angel of Death meant to thin the ranks. He’s hella rich because when the death lottery lands on wealthy people, they bribe him. And sometimes he doesn’t take the offer so the next bribe is way bigger (or that’s what he says, sometimes someone is so despicable he won’t be deterred no matter what). A few rich guys pick up on it and try to boost PR like crazy to seem like they’re one of the good millionaires, which is enough for Phil to justify it all to himself.

Meanwhile, Techno is a broke anarchist with a gaggle of brats he’s teaching principles of resistance and mutual aid to, becoming a cornerstone of his community through his work. Which means, he’s causing a lot or problems for the elites. They want him gone, and they want him gone fast. Only, Techno keeps wriggling out of jail, be it by legal or illegal measures. Quackity’s got loopholes on lockdown so the longest Techno’s ever been in is three months, to return the favor of Techno hooking him up with connections to a really good dentist.

However, there is a system where prisoners get their name in extra times, to harshly enforce the consequences of repeated offenses. Meaning, it’s deeply lucrative to try and criminalized types of people that you don’t like because it increases their chance of just dying. And for a young broke anarchist stirring up trouble….there’s a lot of incentive to get him reaped.

But. Heh. Someone didn’t tell this loser Angel that Technoblade never dies. Techno isn’t given a heads up of course, but he lives his life paranoid enough that when Phil tries to get the drop on him, he barely evades. Leading to a chase. Leading to a very public chase, which may or may not involve Technoblade tossing lots of insults one liners and comebacks at Phil. On live television. And getting away.

Philza is rather publicly humiliated, though is more disgruntled by the fact he’s failed a mission for the first time. So he tries to kill Techno again. And again. It’s even harder now that techno has a heads up though. Phil grits his teeth and asks for the Look Out system. It’s not common, but not unheard of, for an Angel to botch a mission. Not that Phil has ever needed it. Basically it’s a reward put out for a confirmed spotting of the death marked, and an even bigger one for bringing them in. Not killing them tho, the gov doesn’t want the populace having means or experience in death, or the bad PR of killing the wrong guy. So now, the overflowing population is also on the look out for Techno.

Except. Except Techno has actually really firmly rooted himself in his community. He’s the one who steals medicine for sick kids and intimidates gangs away from protection rackets. He’s the one handing out pamphlets on rights so people avoid arrest, starting protests, popping people out of detention centers, delivering meals to those over 300, everything. And every single time he was hammering in the idea of mutual aid. So. He might have a lot of favors to cache. And after their hard clawed for stability started to unravel in the 3 months Techno was in jail, they’ll do anything to keep him.

nomsfaultau

Philza gets a call on a Techno sighting, only to find no one but a small blond brat, with later intel telling him Techno was three miles away and eighty floors down. Tommy, apparently the chatter box is called, tells him this ENDLESS story including what he ate for breakfast and when his birthday is in the preamble to when he saw the death marked. And also how the death marked was helping a 500 year old lady cross the street and rescued a warp kitten from a tree. And after an hour when Phil is certain he’s getting nothing tries to threaten Tommy into giving real info since there’s a fine for false tips. Only for the kid to burst into ENDLESS tears about how it’ll bankrupt his family and hurt his chronically ill mother and his little sister won’t be able to afford pre-K coloring pencils even though she’s an amazing artist and it’s the only thing that brings the family joy. And like. Phil is already extremely harried so he straight up shoves a bunch of money at Tommy to get him to shut up. At which point Tommy’s like. Blink blink. Wait but ur evil.

The group’s strategy radically readjusts once they realize Phil is not pure evil. Not that Techno is ever going to trust a COP, but, maybe they can use this.

Philza glides through the tall city towers on mechanical wings, his shadow coasting ominously over the crowds below. Superstition promises bad luck at minimum when an Angel of Death passes over. Ridiculous, Philza only targets death marked; he’s not a serial killer by any means. His DNA scanner runs wild, until suddenly pinging on one figure out of thousands. Swooping into a dive he nearly starts a chase on Techno—

only to get abruptly stopped by Ranboo clinging onto him full force tackle wailing about having lost a family member to an Angel recently. Phil tries to fight them off but he’s already lost Techno in the crowd. (Just why is the crowd sheltering him? Don’t they want the reward?) Anyway he figures Ranboo is in on the Techno protection scheme, because increasingly a lot of people are rallying behind Techno in a unified front despite all the elite propaganda attempting to suppress favor for him.

So Phil sits Ranboo down and is like, no, the system is fair, think about the consequences, it’s a more peaceful death than disease or war or famine, etc etc propaganda that fades into a genuine attempt at grief counseling.

Ranboo: why not give people like a month’s notice to get everything in order.

Phil: Techno had a heads up of five seconds and look where that’s gotten us.

The real guts of the conversation is the argument about the wealth disparity of targets. Phil tries to argue that there are so few targeted because they’re already a minority of the population, Ranboo countering with the bribe thing, Phil retorts about the philanthropy he’s inspired, but finally goes quiet when Ranboo slams down a journal detailing all the records showing how fake and surface level it was. Data Phil didn’t have, or overlooked, maybe purposefully.

Phil: ….. nobody escapes death, mate. Maybe it’s not fair to individuals, but it’s the fairness society needs to persist.

Ranboo: what if it was your family, though? Your friends?

And Phil just laughs bitterly. "No one loves death, kid."

nomsfaultau

Phil and Techno bantering more and more on each attempted hunt. It’s almost…nice for someone not to be scared of him for once. Honestly it’s some of the only real human connection Phil actually has, since there’s a massive rotating cast of other characters trying to thwart him to avoid any intense heat or scrutiny. Still, Phil is sharp as a whip and quickly realizes a lot of them are accidentally dropping information about who Techno is as a person. Philza of course records it all, trying to build a profile of the kid he’s hunting. But admittedly….a lot of it isn’t useful. He knows Techno gardened relentlessly in a covert hydroponics den to feed his community, but his neighbors are left to tend to it now he’s fled. He has snippets of Techno’s favorite books from the home he ransacked and the lines Techno drops in conversations, but even if he’s read them all twice it doesn’t help him catch the death marked. Endless stories about the tangible good techno did for this community, far more real than the performative acts Philza coerced from the upper elite.

As mocking and humiliated as Phil was by the ‘Techno never dies’ taunt, it’s almost relieving now. Techno lives on in a million stories, all the lives he’s touched. He’s revolutionized the community into something supportive, and that won’t be lost even when his life is.

And then on a hunt, Philza actually manages to hit Techno. He swallows his heart in his throat, realizing he’d relied on Techno never dying than he thought. Techno had already been off his game, he should’ve realized as quiet as the man was.

Philza chases the limping techno through the streets, corralling him somewhere more private so he can save techno, but knows techno just thinks it’s so he won’t be martyred. Phil increasingly screaming with worry in his thoughts but can’t say anything bc monitorization. He approaches Techno slowly like a cornered animal, weapons lowered but prepared for an attack. Techno is nothing like himself when scared, quiet and desperate and blinded with pain to his usual cleverness. Soon enough he’s cornered in a backend with no where to run - or, normally he would, but not with that bloody sizzling mess of his leg.

Philza crouches down, moving slow as he prowls toward his prey. Philza’s wings spread out to block Techno’s escape, or any civilians from seeing what occurs. The cameras too, he prays.

“I’ll make it quick,” he announces while shaking his head silently. The death marked only curls into himself in pain. Was he always this small? Sure Phil knew he was barely of age from the file but prime he was tiny. Philza…didn’t have anywhere he could take techno for help. In the months he’d been chasing the death marked, he’d been increasingly aware of the contrast between Techno’s unending support network and his absolute jack all, but it’s never felt so real realizing he has genuinely no one that can help him with this.

Phil peels off the makeshift scrap armor techno has on his leg, injecting a hyper-adrenal syringe and praying the temp meds help him manage it. He’s trying to use soothing touches but can’t much gauge how it’s working, or if techno is scared of him, if he’s- if he’s still conscious. So gently, Phil peels off Techno’s helmet. He’s…nervous. Phil has to memorize his target’s features through pictures and videos because Angels aren’t meant to get the wrong person. Hell all their weapons are DNA based to ensure it. But he memorizes, he doesn’t get familiar. Cant stomach it. And he’s seen a Lot more of techno than usual, mugshots of his casual smirk, snapshots of him laughing with friends. Phil isn’t ready to see the real Techno, scared and dizzy with blood loss, because it’ll make this seem real. The familiar face pasted over his walls, bone white in death. Because Techno is so painfully familiar, now. Maybe the only person in the whole world that Philza has.

Lucky for him. Ah. Well. It’s not Techno.

nomsfaultau

And since Philza has cough cough an entirely justified cork board spread of Techno, of course he immediately recognizes his sister, Niki. And immediately panics because 1. he hurt techno's sister 2. he's just hurt a non-death mark, PR nightmare 3. he hurt techno's sister 4. he's already failing this mission so badly and might get fired 5. he hurt techno's sister 6. Civilians are going to avoid him even more after this 7. she's just a kid, not even fifteen, he's hurt a kid oh prime he's hurt a kid 8. he's hurt techno's sister 9. he wouldn't have even realized if he'd just done his job right and killed techno from the start 10. he's hurt her he's hurt her he's hurt her he's hurt h

Niki flinches at her name, biting down on a scream. But she hisses out: It's worth it. Every delay on the bounty is another life saved.

Phil: kid kid no hang on, I'll get you to a hospital, pay for it and everything--

Niki: You already planned to destroy my life by killing him. Techno is all I have.

And Phil is suddenly seething. Because it's such a disservice to everything Techno has ever built that it's vile to him, to imply that Niki wouldn't be cared for. That Techno hasn't single handedly built a community that cares in the pit of a gutter. That all his work would've been in vain. That Techno isn't beloved by everyone, including Philza.

Which is about when Techno's steel boot slams into his temple. Philza curls into himself, accepting the exploding pain of Techno stomping his ribs in. No point calling for help, no one would come running. He doesn't deserve it anyway. A befitting end for an Angel of Death. The world slips away into black.

He doesn't expect to wake up. Least of all in Techno's safe house chained up to 11. He's bleary and feels naked without any weapons or armor or gadgets. The world is a weird blur of blotchy pain and bright lights. But as he's catching a sea of angry people he recognizes, the only thing phil can think is. "where are the books"

wh. "technoo lifkes boocs. gets twitchy withoubem."

Then, as his brain cells start connecting one to the next, Philza is terrified for how niki is doing. Relentlessly asks about her condition, starts spitting out what all his medical supplies is and how to use it so she's okay. Which leads to the anarchists having a lot of side eye, since they thought that would only happen with some death threats.

At first the anarchists were wanting. well information, weapons, the look of fear in Phil's eyes as they realize he's at their mercy. Maybe a lil torture for catharsis, since it's not like that gets info. But now they're staring down a pathetic mess and are like. hmmm. okay so this guy is about 5 minutes away from flipping sides maybe we can work with this.

Now techno. Techno techno techno. Quite honestly, philza has made his life a living hell. Of course Techno’s laid back joking attitude meant he could banter back and forth no sweat, but a large part of that was also just plain public image control and trying to make sure his enemies couldn’t tell just how on the back foot he was. Techno had his entire LIFE detonate, has been couch surfing endlessly while scared witless he’d be getting friends hurt for him, hasn’t had a full nights sleep in ages, paranoid out of his head, and just had his little sister shot. So YEAH. Not team Phil that’s for sure!

Niki tho. Well she hates Phil too cause she was also on the run and saw how bad it affected techno. But she also saw how bad Phil reacted when hit, even before he realized it was her.

Tommy tho remembers the way that Phil gave him a bunch of money, and Ranboo thinking about how Phil actually sat through and had a real conversation with them, being kind and polite albeit wrong.

So with some time and a lot of conversations, they eventually convince Phil that Techno's lottery was rigged by the elite. doesn't matter if it's true or not tbh, but it works with Phil trying to frame himself mentally as a good person. So they decide…why not return the favor? Repay a visit to those wealthy who duped Phil in pretending they were a net positive to society.

After a little while, Philza 'escapes'. bats his eyes so innocently at his employers like what do you mean I botched Techno's hit. He's reduced to atoms out of public eye so that he can't be martyred. nvm the propaganda coup that Techno fully escaped, or was brutalized evilly, or whatever mixture of wild conspiracy theories are fueling public outcry. The community surges wildly, everyone connecting a lot more, blooming class consciousness, the revolution is beginning and it's beginning with love for the legendary death mark Technoblade who never dies. And Philza just salutes and is like don’t worryy I'm doing everrrrrything I can to stop this problem while sabotage Death Inc's PR. Boom. Anarchist Angel of Death Phil who now does hits exclusively on the wealthy, sorry that's just what the lottery keeps giving him he's only doing his job :/ what can yah do

Also au where magic is widely used in most battles and techno tends to win all those battles by just outright using his fists. All his opponents put up shields expecting a blast of energy or they make some fancy protective effect that will mirror back whatever magic damage is made on them and Techno just. Hits them across the face.

sircantus

He also just straight up cant do any magic whatsoever. In a plot convenient sort of way he’s like oddly immune to it (resistant to it? Magic doesn’t Work with him) and thus he will never become a proper mage, which is seen as a huge disadvantage. How can he ever become a great name without magic? Easy. Violence. He has a fantastic round house kick. All his enemies fear the round house kick.

sircantus

I like the concept of a magic-user world being so used to magic in general that they consider battles to be over the second that spells can no longer be cast. Actual fighting is seen as underhanded and useless because yknow compared to Magical Explosions what the fuck is a punch gonna do but its not about the single punch its the surprise element. You gotta get them before they even know what’s going on. Techno’s entire tactic is to just hit them before they realize he doesn’t even have an actual staff or anything. Speed is key. “Do not let them monologue. Go for the throat.” - Techno, probably

Beech time! Uh oh, let’s hope Dr. Blake and Webb don’t notice SBI having a party on the other side of the beech…

Tommy and Tubbo distinctly shouldn’t be allowed in the ocean for various reasons. The Blade however is a California Girl and is living his best life as a beech pig. Wilbur eats a pit in the sand that they fill with water so Tommy can safely swim without contaminating the ocean. And Philza is having a WONDERFUL time sunbathing his little lizard self. Plus he spent millions of years as a leviathan and finds it nostalgic.

Dr. Blake funnily enough is having a splendid time and is being Very Normal with her trashy romcom novels and a classic ‘Wine is cheaper than therapy’ glass. Being an evil scp doctor is just her day job, and she needs time to unwind! Webb is running around stressed as hell trying to convince his daughter to play in the water and getting tch s in response.

Mandatory Family Reunion Au

Neon’s prompt: au where the piglins lose custody of techno for child abuse, since obviously goons paid to raise a kidnapped hostage are terrible. Skeppy's mamma, a low level Syndicate goon*, gets custody of him and raises techno. then phil sees a family picture of them and goes 'Where The Fuck Did You Get That'

Ms Diamond has two seconds to go ‘Oh God he Wants this Child Dead’ and have flashbacks to everything the Angel of Death has ever done. Just how dead she’ll be if she angers this mysterious mafia boss. and goes kiiiiiids we’re going on a road trip 🥰 no you don’t have to go to school today. Don’t worry about mommy’s gun. It’s for. Bears.

Skeppy is just excited to skip middle school and hang out with his family and Techno has the full weight of an abusive childhood screaming that something is wrong. But he trusts his new mamma. Right?

Diamamma is trying to hide the fear of god put in her because everyone knows what happens to traitors to the Syndicate. Which Phil is fully treating her as because she just double kidnapped his kid and was secretly hiding him this whole time who knows how far in the Syndicate she’s infiltrated! So Diamamma and the kids are being hunted down cross country while Diamamma desperately pretend it’s a vacation.

in a fascist little paradox/we all become anonymous.

Just, something about the cycle of oppression in the Foundation and how Philza’s revenge feeds the propaganda hurting the anomalies.

nomsfaultau

once again postponing my analysis on the fascism of the Fault!SCP Foundation, however, Razzmatazz encapsulates so succinctly the propaganda necessary for violent oppression. All the little tricks of tongue from Dr Blake and Webb, seeping in to deny the personhood of the anomalies, turning violence into so called justice. Particularly ‘the blinking lights are breaking bones’ with the police/MTF/anomaly violence that becomes a spectacle, a blinding sort of dazzle. A mixture of the Keter alarm becoming so common place, Philza’s revenge as a demonstration that goes no where, because it doesn’t fix anything. The scientists in their ivory towers protected from the consequences of their oppression.

How violence was inextricably tied to being necessary to ‘get back home’ no matter how desperate Tubbo was for pacifism to work. But it was never going to. Neither the anomalies NOR Foundations workers were human enough for death to matter, all faceless, anonymous. Tubbos’ pacifism couldn’t save them. Philza’s massacre couldn’t, either, converted into further propaganda. It’s purely Dr Blake, all choices leading inevitably to further fuel the Foundation’s fascism.

Lambs Phil is probably homophobic considering being a 17th century but I also feel like it would distract too much to modern readers for that to come up if im honest

#there's like 8 more concerning things happening with that scene though so we can probably just skate past only focusing on the #convolution of age and species and manipulation and fraud and pseudo incest going on #this scene isn't coming down the pipeline for awhile but its just so horrendous I keep rereading it #something to nom on

Fault Chapter 43 is out!

You didn’t choose this. They deserve it. It’s not your fault.

If only Tommy could believe that. Not all of the Red on his hands is blood, but it barely helps. His life at the SCP Foundation is routine: white walls and bland ‘food’ broken up only by visits with Philza if he’s lucky, doctors and researchers if he isn’t, and The Blade if he’s really, really unlucky. Survival has a cost, but rarely is it one he himself pays, and the guilt of what he's done is almost enough to convince Tommy that the Foundation is right to lock up dangerous anomalies like him.

But then one day a bee appeared in his cell. That’s not to say things got better, but, well, they certainly weren’t so mundane anymore.

Fault is a hurt/comfort long fic about a sleepy bois inc using the setting of the SCP Foundation. It initially centers Tommy and clingy duo before shifting to a rotating perspective adding Tubbo, Techno, Philza, Wilbur, and a large cast of side characters. It details the trauma and moral struggles of sbi and their encounter with the SCP Foundation that works to capture and….study anomalies. Themes/tropes include interrogations of guilt and blame, found family, heavy angst, dehumanization, and trauma at the hands of the Foundation and each other. Things get messy, but it’s all bound together with love at the end of the day.

(MB if it's rough I haven't drawn in a while 💔💔)

I love him!!! The scratchy sketch work really adds to the vibe of him, uneasy, rough. His fear just bleeds through the page! His cheeks are so soft, and the background color coves the feeling of a dark fairytale illustration. Perfect!
