(Back to back uploads this quickly? Hell yeah! The devil works hard but over caffeinated fanfic writers work harder. I’m not exaggerating about the over caffeinated part either. All I’ve drank today is a latte and a can of Pepsi. I feel like I’m about to die. Regardless, here’s your fic for tonight babes)
As much as he hated the place and everything it stood for, every once and awhile, Techno couldn’t help but check on what was happening in New L’Manburg. It wasn’t something he liked to admit, since he had basically tried to kill the boy, but Techno did try and keep tabs on Tommy. He was still his little brother, after all.
The walls were a new addition. A troubling one. Nobody had wanted walls since the old ones were torn down. Something drastic must have happened for them to be built. He cautiously walked along the walls, looking in on the nation. The longer he surveyed, the more puzzled he became. Usually he could see, or more likely, hear Tommy by now. Yet, he was nowhere to be found. A voice from behind startled him.
“The hell you doin’ here, traitor?”
Techno bristled at how he was addressed, but decided to humor the concerned citizen with a response. “I still deeply despise this country, I’ll have you know, but I gotta keep tabs on what’s going on. Know your enemy,” he explained. “Also I like to see what my idiot brother gets up to. Having a hard time with that at the moment.”
“Oh… about Tommy… if you want the full story on that, you uh, might want to talk to Tubbo about that.”
“Do I?” Asked Techno, intrigued. “Then why don’t you take me to him?”
President Tubbo was easy to find. Techno’s presence took him by surprise, but the young politician managed to keep some sort of composure. “Technoblade. I thought you didn’t like L’Manburg. What brings you here?”
Scowling, Techno said, “I was told you were the one I should talk to about Tommy. Haven’t seen him around. Kid didn’t get in over his head doing something dumb, did he?”
“No, Techno,” said Tubbo. “You can’t find Tommy because he isn’t here. Tommy’s not welcome inL’Manburg anymore.”
The statement elicited little more than an unsurprised hmph from Techno. “Well, that’s all I need to know. I’ll be out of your hair now,” he said, already turning to leave.
Knowing Tommy, and how easily his ego bruised, Techno figured he wouldn’t want to be found. At least not immediately. Also knowing Tommy, Techno knew he would be ridiculously easy to find. Obviously, he wouldn’t be in any of his usual haunts, but he wouldn’t be well hidden. Tommy wasn’t built for the wilderness at all. He hadn’t had any of the training Techno had. Hell, he didn’t even have the training Wilbur had. He really was the baby of the family. He wandered through the wilds, knowing that Tommy would probably be out there somewhere. At the moment, Techno didn’t even know why he was looking for him. Did he even care? If he didn’t, he’d just ignore the fact. At the same time, him and Tommy had been on the opposite sides of the most bloody conflict in history. He must have cared at least somewhat, right? At any rate, Tommy was technically not on the side of L’Manburg, so they weren’t on opposite sides anymore. They were each on their own sides now. And maybe, just maybe, Tommy could be swayed. Techno was right in the last things he had said to Tommy, after all. This whole incident could be the humbling moment the boastful, over-inflated teenager needed. This was Techno’s chance to set him straight.
Naturally, Techno found signs of Tommy quite quickly. That boy was anything but subtle. He just had to follow those signs and eventually, he’d find him. Sure enough, he did. In some long untouched cave, Tommy was mining out stone, grunting angrily with every strike of his pick. “Well,” said Techno. “If it isn’t Theseus himself.”
Tommy didn’t even move to look at Techno. “Fuck off, Techno. Go be smug elsewhere.”
“Come on now, you’re just being bitter. This is a learning experience, Tommy.”
“What part of fuck off do you not understand? I don’t want to talk to you. You’re still a traitor.”
Groaning, Techno shook his head. “You’re still calling me a traitor even after the people who gave me that title threw you out?”
Tommy finally put down his pick. “Those people are still my friends. Tubbo is still my friend. He’ll always be my friend. They’re not the ones to blame here.”
“Well then, who is to blame?”
“Dream is, and all his stupid power. Things would be so different if he would just leave us the hell alone. He forced their hands. He’s the reason I’m made out to be a problem,” Tommy said.
Techno smirked. “I think we might have some common goals, kid.”
“Don’t smirk at me like that,” Tommy spat. “We’re still not good, Techno. You literally tried to kill me. I can’t just forget that.”
“I’m not asking you to,” said Techno. “I’m just saying, maybe you need to check your priorities. You can’t be part of L’Manburg, but you still have ties to the people there. Dream is the root of all your problems. L’Manburg isn’t going to let you retaliate. You can’t get what you want with them. Now that you have no ties, you’re free. Nothing can stop you. Except for you. Tommy, you’re free to get back what you want with no consequences. The problem lies in one little thing.”
“Oh yeah, what's that?”
“You’re weak, Tommy. You know it. You’re nowhere as experienced as the others here. Especially Dream and his friends. You’ve always been all bark and no bite. Alone, you’ll lose, just like you already have against him. More lost drive,” explained Techno.
Thinking, Tommy glared and crossed his arms. “I don’t like what you’re suggesting.”
Scoffing, Techno rolled his eyes. “Do you really? Think about it. Your big brother is the best fighter here.”
Tommy rolled the idea in his head. Techno had his points. As much as the rejection of his friends burned, he no longer had the dumb responsiblities he had as Vice President. He really was free to do what he wanted with no repercussions. Wouldn’t that show them if he did just what he said he would before getting thrown out. If he got his discs back without them. No more big bad guy to keep him away from the people he loved. He could reunite with them. With Tubbo. Who would tell them no after that? He could liberate them from the outside. He wouldn’t be the tragic hero Techno and the world was making him out to be. Yeah, it would all work out perfectly. He could be welcomed back into his home with open arms. Tommy liked that. He liked that a lot. At the same time, he still despised Techno. His own older brother, betraying him. Trying to kill him. Putting him down time after time. Sure, he was the best fighter, but Tommy was no joke when it came to fighting. And who says it had to come down to a fight? He didn’t need his help. “I think I can get along just fine without you. I’ll get what I want from Dream and win. I’ll be able to be back where I belong. And I’ll do it without you ‘help’” he said.
“Fine then,” said Techno, sweeping his cape as he left. “Your funeral, Tommy. I’ll make sure I’m the one who tells Dad they tore you to shreds. He wouldn’t want to hear it from anyone else.”
Tommy flushed with anger at that last statement. “Goddamnit, Techno! Why are you so sure I’ll fail?” He said, running behind.
“If you don’t want to be associated with me, why are you following me?”
Tommy’s doubt in himself tore him apart and furthered his rage. “Cause you’re right! There, I said it! You happy?”
Smiling, Techno looked at his little brother. “As a matter of fact, I am.” Of course Tommy would agree with him. Techno just had to push the right buttons. Maybe they weren’t fighting for the same reasons, but either way, a goal of Techno’s was being accomplished. And who knew, maybe seeing Techno prevail against Dream with his beliefs would shake L’Manburg enough to make themselves question what they stood for. Especially if Tommy was behind him. “We can go over the details when we get back to my place. Deal.”
Unsure if this was the right thing to do, Tommy reluctantly nodded. “Deal. I’m sure you’ve got your ulterior motives, but right now, I don’t care. All I want is to end this.” That was a lie. Tommy did care, but he was backed into a corner.
“End this we will, Tommy. No more heroics.”
The two of them walked together through the wilds, alone and ostracised in an uneasy alliance. Somehow both the most likely and unlikely of duos. Neither of them who they were before. Gone were the traitor and the hero, and now stood two unstoppable forces.
au where in exile, Dream convinces Tommy that he's blind and only being with Dream can give him his sight back, becuase the boy is so mentally unstable that if Dream told him the sky was green he'd fucking believe it.
