(safe vore: giant!philza, tiny!technoblade + tiny!sneegsnag)
The whole story was about ~8k words, but I shortened it to 800 words to show the main events. So consider this as a short version of this au :D
TW: safe vore, willing vore (kinda), unwilling vore, swearing, mention digestation, fear of being digested.
Notes: I read somewhere that in an old version of English, there was a word 'hap', like 'to hap on smb.', which meant 'to accidentally meet someone'. And when I was thinking of an abbreviation or a short tag for my au, the name HAP AU sounded funny in my head. Because it fits this story. And now you'll find out why.
So let's get started!
The world is built at the level of the Middle Ages. Techno is an aspiring healer and renowned herbalist. He earned money by selling hand-made herbal medicines. Practicing both traditional medicine and techniques he had read in foreign books. Which were quite expensive.
So most of his earnings were spent on research and new books. And overall he was satisfied with his life, but he wouldn't mind some extra money. Because he was getting tired of dealing with visitors. And he just wants to do his own things alone.
One of the sleepless nights, his old friend – a professional thief and rascal, Sneegsnag, comes to his doorstep. Who offers him quick money, namely to find an ancient artifact. Thanks to the Sneeg’s persuasion and the temptation of quick money, Techno reluctantly agrees.
They faced difficulties and dangers inside an ancient tomb, where a reward awaited them. Eventually, they had to split up in order to escape alive. Techno 'got lucky' and escaped with the artifact in his hands, but he stumbled (kinda cartoon movement but still funny).
And Techno watched in horror as the artifact fell into the mouth of the damn sleeping naga man! The naga instinctively swallowed it and continued sleeping!
Techno was on the verge of turning around and going home, but after some hesitation, he still descended into the ravine where the naga slept.
And how surprised Philza was. Of course, humans woke him up by sneaking attacks while he was trying to bask in the sun or sleep. But this man was poking him in the belly with a stick. What the fuck?
Phil lifted Techno by his clothes, leaving him dangling helplessly in mid-air. "Ha-ha, hello...Um- funny story! And if you don't kill me, I'm willing to tell you about it." And Phil was curious, but when Techno got to the part about the artifact, the naga told him frankly that the human would have to take it by himself. Because of how small it was compared to the naga.
Of course, Techno wasn't happy and tried to find out if the naga was lying.
Philza simply said, "If I wanted to eat you, I'd have already. Take it yourself or go home before I change my mind." He has a point, but Techno was still scared. Because this was a BIG deal after all. His life was potentially in danger.
Despite Philza's words, Techno decides to protect himself and do something nice for the naga to reduce the chance of being digested even further. They talk a bit more, and Phil admits he can't get rid of the swords in his stomach. Techno agrees to safely retrieve them so they don't further traumatize the naga from within.
So, after a few humiliating screams and new trauma, Techno finally reaches the stomach. He finds what he was looking for and does what he promised the naga.
Phil says he feels the other human approaching.
And at that moment, something shifts in Techno's mind, and he asks Philza to scare Sneeg. Phil laughs and calls Techno vindictive, but the herbalist doesn't care. He was tired, and after everything he'd gone through today, he couldn't let Sneeg miss out on such an ‘unforgettable’ experience.
For Sneeg, everything is much more traumatic, and he apologizes to Techno in stomach for putting them both in danger. Finally, the herbalist admits it's a prank, and Philza releases them.
Later, Techno visits naga for purely 'medical' purposes, but Phil simply enjoys holding the human in his stomach while he's being 'checked.' After a while, they begin to argue, and Techno insists that he's not just 'someone who can be alive in his stomach,' but a friend.
Since Philza grew up in an unfair, cruel, and wild environment, he has to rethink some things. And Techno has to suppress his fear and hope that he sounds convincing enough to keep their friendship from becoming one-sided.
At some point, Philza realizes that he likes Techno as a person. He listens to all Techno's chatter about herbs and sometimes finds something of interest. And the naga begins to care for the human in his own way.
One day, Techno was so exhausted that he didn't notice Phil sneaking up on him. He screamed as warm breath hit him in the back.
While Techno was complaining, Phil noticed how shitty the human looked. “When did you sleep last?”
Herbalist tried to awkwardly get out of the conversation, but Philza insisted that he needed rest.
So Technoblade ended up trying to sleep in naga's stomach, shutting himself off from all the worries that awaited him. He said, “Now I have an official excuse for missing work.”
Philza chuckled, “Consider it a day off.” Naga put his hand on the place where Techno was lying. “Have a good rest, mate.”
That's all!
Basically, Philza always considered humans as weak creatures when they were alone, but he didn't intentionally hunt them. However, some of them provoke a fight, and then you know their fates :]
I enjoyed writing about the idea that someone could literally trust their own life to a stranger (especially a predator). And Techno taught Philza to notice small details that are also important. Sometimes he regrets that Phil has become so observant and can catch him in a lie more quickly.
Anyway! If I missed a trigger warning or tag, let me know!
Hopefully I'll return to publishing g/t stories soon, but I don't think I'll be publishing about vore often. (‘cause it's not that popular, and most of it will remain in drafts)
Ayup mates, little note here, this new AU is very inspired by a YouTuber by the name of Ian Boggs who I’d highly recommend to check out. If you’re curious about any aspects of this au I implore you to spam my ask box as much as you’d like, I’ll happily answer :)
Anyways enjoy the fic! The warning are below :D
Tw: slight vore mention(?), mysterious disappearances, and fear.
WC: 1140
Tubbo woke up with a stretch. He was so Fucking ready for tomorrow! He got up and quickly got ready for school, he was so happy that his Birthday was on a Friday, and he was excited to get his mark. Sure everyone got the Prey mark all the time, but it was still exciting! He exited the house, and waved goodbye to his mom as he started the walk to school, he looked around to see if he could spot his best friend, but he seemed to be nowhere around... suspicious. It didn't take long for him to enter the school, as soon as he did so though, Tommy jumped out in front of him from behind a corner, making a booing sound. "Gah-!" He flinched. "Don't fucking scare me like that man-" He swatted the laughing Tommy as they headed toward their first class of the day... this was gonna be a long day...
After a few classes, he sat down in his last class for the day, History.
"Woooo, finally almost done-" He spoke, leaning back in his chair, to Tommy who sat behind him. "What do you think is gonna be on the shitty lesson plan for toda-?" He was cut off. "Language Mr. Schlatt." Came Mr. Halo's voice as he entered the room, his wings curled inward as he got to his desk. "Settle down all of you muffins, now, today's lesson is gonna be on the founding of Essempi..." Mr. Halo droned on and on about Essempi and seemingly everything that happened ever... until the last few minutes of class. "Now, before I dismiss all of you, we're gonna have a brief lesson on the Marks, as I believe we have two muf- I mean, students, who are turning Eighteen tomorrow, correct Mr. Schlatt and Mr. Minecraft?" Tubbo and Tommy both nodded, confirming his question. "Alright then, as you all know, in the entire history of the world, there have been two Marks-" "The Mark of The Prey and The Mark of the Pred, right D- I mean, sir?" Came Sapfucks voice from the back, dude got an unfair advantage honestly. "That is correct Mr. Sapnap, however, there hasn't been a Pred marked in many many years... people doubt they even exist now as everyone who's turned eighteen since then has always been Prey." He turned to face the class again, after having drawn the marks for Pred and Prey on the board.
The Prey Mark resembled bunny ears, while The Pred Mark was depicted as being a set of fox ears. "Even so, it's important that we all know how to defend ourselves properly in the off-chance that someone DOES get the Pred Mark-" He quickly added- "But of course, the chances of anybody getting the Pred Mark is very low of course. Who can tell me some abilities of Preds?" A few hands went up, not Tubbo's tho, he couldn't remember. "Yes Mr. Found?" Of course, the teacher would pick someone whose hand wasn't up. To be fair though, George was passed the fuck out. Tubbo suppressed a chuckle with Tommy. "Oh, er, what was the question again-?" Tommy snickered again as Mr. Halo sighed. "Could you tell me some things about the Preds' abilities Mr. Found? Then you can get back to your muffiny nap-" He said with a polite smile, eventually George would gather his thoughts and blab on a bit more about how they could 'size-shift' and 'smell emotions' and a few other random things that just weren't relevant anymore. Tubbo groaned as this ensued, lightly doodling on his desk before finally... the bell rang.
"Thank Prime..." He heard Tommy mutter as they gathered their things to leave. "Where too Boss Man-?" He asked Tom as they walked the halls of rapidly departing students. "Hmmm, ahhhhh, I just want it to be tomorrow already man!" he pouts a bit as they walk. “Don’t worry Tom, tomorrow isn’t that much farther away, everything will go just fine.” He reassured, they eventually just got some dinner and headed home so they could get started on some homework… and sleep a bit earlier to speed up the process. Tubbo yawned as he worked at his desk, the hours seem to go by so slowly yet so fast at the same time as he trudged through assignment after assignment. He was so glad when he could collapse onto his bed, and finally began to fall asleep…
Meanwhile, Tommy had sped-run his assignments… and was sneaking out of his Dad’s house again, which wasn’t exactly difficult. Ever since Techno had gone missing a few years ago, Phil hadn’t really been the same, which sucked a lot. Tommy wandered through the woods, knowing exactly where he was going. It didn’t take long before he reached his destination, a small box fort, a training dummy, and two wooden swords lay abandoned amongst the grass and twigs. He sighed as he reached down and picked up one that was marked with a big T, only glancing at the one with the lil T. “Miss you Techno…” He rubbed some of the dirt off and placed it back down where it was, before picking up the other sword and turning to the dummy.
After a Prime knows how long amount of time of slashing at the dummy, Tommy rested at the entrance to the box fort that vaguely resembled a castle, just looking about the space as he remembered the old times, he closed his eyes…
“C’mon Tommy I know you can do it-!” Came Techno’s voice from the tree above. “Techno! Just give it the fuck back!” Tommy shouted as he tried to climb up the tree, just barely missing the handhelds. “I will, if you can make it up here, how will you ever be able to escape a Pred if you can’t throw yourself up a tree like I can-?” He spoke, dangling the lil T sword above Tommy’s head from a branch. “You’ve just gotta find the proper foot and handholds.” He encouraged. Tommy took a step back, and inspected the tree again, before trying again. This time, he was able to get up. He grabbed at the handhelds that he could, and though he did stumble once or twice, he was able to get high enough to touch the tip of his sword… before promptly falling. But Techno’s hand caught him, and pulled him up and away from the fall. “Hey, you did pretty good Theseus.” He spoke with a smile as he handed Tommy his sword back. Tommy accepted it with a semi/embarrassed look at having to be rescued, but the two laughed it off and eventually headed home…
Tommy opened his eyes. Fuck, he’d fallen asleep… at least he had a good dream. He stood up and ran back home as fast as he could, going back through his window and looking at himself in his bedroom mirror… today was the day. It was his birthday which meant that… he pulled his sleeve back, and looked at his right arm. On the arm, clear as day, we’re two bunny ears. He smiled, Phew… he had to admit, despite the fact that he knew that it would not be fox ones, it still kinda spooked him. He stretched, and got ready for school quickly. He was excited to see Bee Boy so that they could laugh about how nervous he was…
Tubbo woke up groggy. Hm, something smelt sweet, he wondered if his mom had actually made something. He got up, and looked at himself in the bedroom mirror. He messed with his hair a little bit before leaving it the way it had been. Then, he suddenly remembered, The Mark! He excitedly held his arm up, and pulled back the sleeve. His face did a few different things as he looked at the reflection… it switched from Excitement, to Confusion, to Shock, and then finally, to a combination of Fear and Nervousness. He quickly grabbed a marker off his desk and held it to the Fox Ears that were on his arm, almost glinting in the sunlight as if to say: “Look at me!” He quickly scribbled over the mark a bit, making the Fox Ears look like the Bunny ones that signified Prey. T-this couldn’t be… he couldn’t be a Pred!
Suddenly, another scent came into the air, another sweet one… from outside. A knock came at the door, and he heard Tommy shout. “Open up Bee Boy, we’ve gotta get to school! Happy Birthday by the way!” Oh shit… he exited his room, and went to open the door…
All that time ago, when Tommy had first been found, not by Wilbur, but by Siren, the man had promised he would never use his powers on him.
Back then, Tommy had witnessed first hand how powerful Siren’s ability was. The villain had been breaking into a lab, the lab that Tommy happened to be captive in. The villain, as Tommy learned later on, had initially been there to take some equipment and blueprints. The lab itself was run by the hero corporation, so it made sense that Siren wanted to try and steal some things from them.
Tommy had witnessed Siren using his powers on the guards and scientists of the place. On a few, ones that Tommy knew didn’t have any powers, Siren simply told them to sleep. On others, he told them to jump out the window. And when a leftover guard pointed a gun at him, Siren told him to shoot himself instead.
Tommy had only just managed to turn away in time but the gunshot had still rung in his ears. And it did nothing to block out the sound of the now limp body hitting the floor. He hadn’t been able to hold back a whimper at the noises and when silence overcame the room, Tommy looked up to see the human staring right at him.
Present day Tommy liked to say he cursed Siren out when that happened. That he hadn’t backed down, even when the villain had reached for him.
In reality, when Tommy noticed Siren start to walk toward him, he had froze. His fear in that moment had been overwhelming and all he could do was back away until his back hit the wall of the tank. He had just watched this man kill other humans and command them with simple words after all. If the villain could do all that to some humans, Tommy didn’t even want to think about what he could do to a borrower like Tommy.
Siren opened his mouth and Tommy expected a command, an order.
Instead, Siren’s words held no power to them. “It’s okay. I’m not going to hurt you.”
Siren had then grabbed him in a gentle fist, taking him out of his cage. Tommy had struggled, not believing his words. Why would he? Words meant nothing when he felt helpless in the grip of a human. He fought against the hand until he was exhausted, going limp in the grip by the time Siren had made it home.
That night had been filled with gentle words and light touches. Something that surprised Tommy more than anything. Even the heroes that had captured him hadn’t been so gentle.
And that night, a promise was made. One that calmed Tommy’s heart and opened himself up to the idea that maybe he could trust what Siren said.
“I promise, I’ll never use my powers on you.” Siren, Wilbur, had said that fateful night. And Tommy, despite his lingering fears, had believed him.
He had been a fool.
“Tommy, seriously, you’re being ridiculous.” Wilbur said and it wasn’t hard to hear the annoyed tone in his voice. He was at the opposite end of the table that Tommy was standing on. At the other end was The Blade, or Techno as he preferred to be called by those closer to him. Tommy was still in awe over the fact that he even fit into that category.
But he wasn’t focused on that right now. No, because Wilbur was the one being ridiculous. All Tommy wanted was information and Techno was willing to give it to him. Not Wilbur.
“How am I being ridiculous? I deserve to know what kinds of things you guys do! And since you won’t tell me, Techno graciously offered to tell me himself.” Tommy said with a huff. He was feeling a bit overwhelmed with two humans hovering over him but he remained as calm as he could.
“Tommy.” Wilbur sounded tense now, along with still being annoyed. It made Tommy flinch. “You don’t understand. This sort of stuff…” Wilbur shook his head. “You don’t need to know it.”
“Don’t need to…?” Tommy curled his hands into fists. “I do though! I hate seeing you come back home with whatever new injury you have! We live together, big man, I deserve to know what’s going on with you and the rest of the SBI.” Tommy crossed his arms. “I’d rather have heard it from you but if Techno is more willing to tell me then so be it.”
Said villain was still just standing there and though he still had his mask on, it was easy to see how awkward he was feeling with Tommy and Wilbur arguing. He cleared his throat though, bringing attention to himself. “Seriously Wil, the kid deserves to-”
“Shut it, Techno.” He interrupted him, before turning back to Tommy. “Just come here. You don’t need to know about any of this.” Wilbur repeated and that was the last straw. Tommy turned his back to Wilbur angrily.
“You’re not the boss of me.” Tommy said. If he wanted to learn some things from Techno, he didn’t need Wilbur’s f****** permission.
But turned around as he was, he couldn’t see the expression on Wilbur’s face.
But he did hear the growl.
“Tommy, come here.”
A cold, foreign power washed over his body and panic settled into his gut. Against his will, his body turned and started walking towards Wilbur. Tommy tried to fight against it, but his body wouldn’t so much as twitch against the hold Wilbur had over him. “No no no no.” Came out in short, stuttered breaths.
“Wilbur…” Techno’s tone was unreadable and his voice trailed off. Wilbur himself ignored Techno altogether, eyes focused on Tommy, an unrecognizable look in them.
His feet carried him closer until he was right in front of the villain. But as soon as he made it, the power over him fell away and Tommy took this opportunity to try and run. Even though he knew it was hopeless, he still had to try.
“Stop.”
Tommy froze and tears pricked the corners of his eyes.
A hand wrapped around him, gentle as always but this time Tommy didn’t find comfort in being in the hold at all. He felt utterly betrayed and terrified and as Wilbur turned Tommy over in his hand so they were now face to face, Tommy found he couldn’t meet his eyes.
“You…You promised.” Tommy choked out, close to sobbing. He knew he should have never trusted a human, let alone a villain.
Wilbur’s facade broke a little but he composed himself and opened his mouth again. Tommy flinched at just that.
“Sleep, Tommy.”
And Tommy was powerless to stop the way his eyes closed and darkness took over him.
***
“Seriously Wilbur?” Techno said as Wilbur held Tommy gently in his hands. “I thought you ‘promised’.” Techno said, eyebrow raised but not quite mad per say.
“I did but…you heard him! He wasn’t going to back down.” Wilbur looked down at the incredibly tiny life in his hands, trying to push away the guilt that was trying to crawl up into his heart. “It’s too dangerous for him to know this stuff, you know that.” Wilbur glared at Techno but his brother only shrugged.
“It’s also dangerous for him not to know.” Techno said. “But fine. If you want to keep him in the dark, then that’s your decision. But I can tell you, after this? He’s not gonna trust you like he used to.”
Wilbur bit his lip and looked down at Tommy again. He looked so peaceful when asleep. He used a finger to gently move some hair out of his face before sighing. “I know.” He looked up to meet Techno’s eyes. “I know, which is why I have to do this.”
Techno looked confused but Wilbur ignored him and brought Tommy a bit closer. “Tommy.” He said, his voice already thick in sweetness and power. “When you wake up, you won’t remember me using my power on you or this conversation.” He felt his power flush out of him and fall around Tommy. He watched the borrower shiver for a brief moment before becoming lax once again.
And there it was. A second chance. A reset. He didn’t have to feel bad because Tommy didn’t remember and that made it fine. It meant that, in the long run, his mistake didn’t matter. Right?
“...How many times have you broken your so called promise?” Techno asked and Wilbur jerked up, looking at Techno with wide eyes. He quickly calmed himself though and held Tommy close to his chest.
“...I don’t have to answer that.” Wilbur said after some hesitation. “Besides, it-it doesn’t matter. Tommy won’t remember this and I won’t do it again. It’ll be fine.”
Techno only hummed. “Right.” He turned around and headed towards the door. “Welp, I’ll let you deal with all that. See you at dinner tomorrow.” And with that, Techno left him alone with Tommy.
“Techno just doesn’t understand.” He muttered to himself, taking a seat on the couch and still cradling Tommy in his hands. He looked back down at him and pushed down the guilt. “I’m just doing this to protect you. Besides, I won’t do it again. Never again.”
And even Wilbur knew he was lying when the next words came out of his mouth. “I promise.”
Notes: Thank you anon for this prompt! This one is pure fluff for y’all, hopefully it makes up for the angst I gave y’all a few days ago. It was such a cute prompt. Sorry about how long it took for this request to be answered (it’s been in the inbox for a bit now, whoops-) but it’s done now! I hope you enjoy your sleepy bois content. The only thing I regret is not having enough Phil in here but you get plenty of brother interactions so that should make up for it.
If you told Tommy that an already existing family would adopt him as one of their own out of nowhere, he would’ve said it was unlikely. If you told him that a human family would adopt him at first sight, he would’ve called you insane.
But looking at his current situation, it was definitely not impossible. From his position in Phil’s hands, he got a front row seat of Wilbur and Techno, his new brothers, arguing over who got to hang out with Tommy today. He was adopted into this family only a few weeks ago after being caught trying to steal a bagel that was left on the counter. He still refuses to admit to this day that it was a horrible idea to steal a bagel from a human in the first place though.
But because of his attempted bagel snatching, a stunned Wilbur saw him trying to drag a bagel bigger than himself across the counter. Wilbur refuses to admit that he screamed and ran as soon as he saw Tommy, but he did. Then, when Phil came into the kitchen to take care of what he assumed to be a spider, only to find the tiny child still attempting to drag the bagel to his hole in the wall, he promptly adopted Tommy into their little family. Wilbur surprisingly warmed up to him very quickly despite the whole incident of their first meeting. Techno adopted him as his brother as soon as he saw Tommy, but he won’t admit that either.
At least, until moments like these. Phil was absolutely done with his boys’ arguing over who got to hang out with their new little brother. This was getting old very fast. But Tommy’s ego was only growing as they argued over who got to hang out with him.
“Boys!” Wilbur and Techno instantly stopped their bickering and looked towards Phil with wide eyes. Tommy had to stifle the laughter that was threatening to surface from the look of pure shock and guilt on both of their faces. Phil brought his free hand up to his face and pinched his nose with a sigh.
“Just get along with each other and hang out with your brother together. I need a couple of hours to myself without you little monsters disturbing me. If anyone comes to me whining, you are going to deep clean the whole house.”
“Ok, dad!”
“Sure, whatever… But I get to hold Tommy first.”
“Now wait a damn minute, Tech-” Wilbur paused as he glanced towards Phil, who looked like he was about to strangle someone. He gulped. “You know what? Go ahead.”
Techno had a triumphant smirk on his face as he walked towards Phil. He held out his hands for Tommy to climb onto, which Tommy quickly scrambled onto.
As soon as Tommy situated himself onto Techno’s hands, Techno turned around and moved towards his room with Wilbur trailing after him. Wilbur closed the door behind them to keep privacy, despite knowing that their dad wasn’t planning on disturbing them anytime soon.
Though, it may have been more to preserve their diginties.
As soon as the door was shut, both humans let out a sigh of relief and flopped backwards onto the bed, Techno taking extra care to make sure Tommy wasn’t too jostled in the process. Tommy however, did not care in the slightest and laughed as he fell on top of Techno’s chest.
As Tommy finally decided to move himself around on Techno’s chest, Wilbur quickly propped himself up just enough so that he could see his tiny brother. He found himself smiling softly as Tommy tried to stand and promptly fell down. Wilbur had to stop himself from cooing at Tommy, especially since he realized how upset Tommy gets. And then he stopped his thoughts for a moment and realized he didn’t care because Tommy’s little tantrums were cute.
And so Wilbur had no more reservations and cooed softly as Tommy kept trying to stand up on Techno’s chest.
Tommy glared at Wilbur before returning right to his task of trying to stand while on his brother’s chest. Techno propped his head up to look at his brother to see what he was doing due to the light touches on his chest.
He had to stifle his laughter as he saw Tommy fumbling around and trying to stand up. Unfortunately for Tommy, he was only able to stifle the laughter from coming out audibly. Instead, Techno’s chest began to rumble with unheard laughter, further knocking Tommy off of his feet.
Neither human could stop themselves from smiling when Tommy toppled over with an annoyed shout. He turned himself around to stare at both of them to the best of his ability so he could give them a hard glare. It only took a few seconds before he began laughing at the silliness of the situation, prompting Wilbur and Techno to join in once again.
“You two suck.”
“Aw, we love you too, Toms.” Wilbur gave Tommy a teasing smile and got himself a tongue stuck out right back at him. He snorted at his little brother’s childish behavior.
The three of them laid there in a comfortable silence for a few minutes. The moment didn’t last very long however because Tommy was restless and wanted the attention back on him.
He began fidgeting on top of Techno again, making the said man groan.
“Wilbur, take the gremlin. I can’t take it anymore.” Wilbur laughed at his twin before moving his hands towards Tommy and scooping him up. Tommy didn’t offer any resistance, instead opting to wrap his arms around one of Wilbur’s fingers. Wilbur raised an eyebrow at the action.
“Tommy? What are you- TOMMY NO!” Wilbur quickly moved his other hand underneath his other hand to prevent anything bad from happening. Tommy however, was laughing his ass off while hanging from the finger he had latched onto. Apparently he thought it would be hilarious to attempt to dangle from Wilbur’s hand. Wilbur did not think so.
At Wilbur’s shout, Techno bolted upright and looked at Wilbur’s hands with wide eyes. Once he processed the situation playing out before him he began laughing uncontrollably. Wilbur sent his brother a quick glare before turning his attention back to getting Tommy back onto his hand. It was actually really difficult when the boy kept swinging himself around and using Wilbur’s hand as a jungle gym.
Meanwhile, Tommy was having the time of his life. He was laughing along with Techno as he swung around to avoid Wilbur’s attempts at fixing his position. It was rather easy for him to swing around like this due to his borrowing experiences. This was all second nature to him. It was a bonus to scare Wilbur whilst doing this.
“Tommy please. Oh god- Techno, stop laughing. This is serious. Tommy. I don’t need you falling, please-”
Tommy laughed once more as he flipped himself back onto Wilbur’s palm. Wilbur sighed in relief as soon as Tommy was safely on his hand once more.
Tommy glanced over at Techno, who was now over his bout of laughter. Tommy had to smile softly at the fact Techno was laughing that hard in the first place. He found out very quickly that Techno did not express his emotions outwardly much at all, he was very reserved when it came to feelings. So Tommy felt a happy warmth flow through him as he realized Techno felt comfortable enough to laugh like that around him.
“-could’ve at least tried to help! You just sat there and laughed!” Tommy suddenly tuned back in from his thoughts to hear Wilbur complaining about Techno’s lack of help. Techno let out an amused snort.
“Nah. It was more fun watching you scramble to save him every time he moved.” Techno smirked as Wilbur began throwing out a mess of angry words at the statement.
Tommy enjoyed this. It was nice having a family like this. The bickering, the shenanigans, the laughter. Tommy enjoyed it all. Yea, he used to have his biological parents years ago and they were a small, tight-knit family, but all borrower families split up eventually. It just makes borrowing easier.
But now that he was adopted by Phil, he had another family. He had his brothers who loved him with their entire beings.
He really enjoyed the attention too. And the bickering between Wilbur and Techno that was currently going on.
“You suck, Techno. I hope you know that.”
“Yea, yea, sure. Whatever you say, nerd.” Wilbur stuck his tongue out at Techno. Tommy couldn’t help but laugh at them, drawing their attention away from each other and onto himself. He stopped laughing abruptly as he saw them both adopt a suspicious looking grin.
“Aw, Toms, we didn’t forget about you, did we, Techno?” Techno’s grin grew a touch wider.
“Nope, in fact I think someone may deserve some tickles.” Tommy’s eyes widened and he immediately began to try and jump out of Wilbur’s hand with a shriek. He thought he was in the clear when all of a sudden Techno’s hand shot out to grab him.
He shrieked as Techno pulled Tommy closer to himself and began poking him in the sides. Tommy instantly began screeching with laughter while attempting to stop the attacking finger. He wasn’t able to stop Techno as he continued with his onslaught of tickles.
“Techno! Please, Tech-NO!” He continued to laugh as Techno finally began to slow down on his attack. A minute later his laughter had died down enough for him to give Techno a hard glare from the man’s hand.
“You’re an ass.”
“Heh. Whatever. You deserved it.”
Tommy began to pout but quickly broke into laughter after trying to give Techno another false glare. Techno grinned and rubbed Tommy’s hair with his finger as Wilbur smiled at the current interaction between the other two.
Tommy was glad to be a part of this family, despite the teasing and occasional arguments. And he knew that Wilbur and Techno felt the exact same as him. He was home.
Can we mayhaps have some more headcanons about Borrower/Shrunken!Tommy and Human(or as human as a pig can be)!Techno? Or human Tommy and Giant! Techno? Idk, just ✨them✨
Techno is a very protective older brother
In the shrunken au- Techno actually captures a witch so he can get his hands in one of the potions. He may not know much about alchemy,but he'll study them as much as possible if it'll help his brother
"Welcome home Theseus..." Techno says softly as he carries his tiny brother home, safe from the snow.
Tommy wants a cat. Techno says no.
Tommy can and WILL ride one Max's back (the dog in Techno's army)- much to Techno's worry, that he won't admit to-
"Philza!!!" "Techno, why is Tommy 4 inches tall?"
Giant Techno- definitely keep the walls around L'manburg then to keep him out
Giant Techno can and has destroyed Manburg through just stomping on things and crushing them with his hands
After finding out what happened to Tommy, a giant Techno would definitely kidnap and keep trapped a human Dream- but Tommy doesn't have to know about that-
Human!Techno: who's been getting into my stuff?
Human!Techno, while having a borrowerinnit trapped under a cup: Y O U
Because of Dream borrowerinnit is very uncomfortable with small spaces- after being manhandled, trapped in bottles, forced into pockets, and squeezed like a stress ball, borrowerinnit tends to avoid small spaces-
This does not boad over well when he's with Techno and one day when Dream suddenly visits he finds himself trapped under a cup by Techno with little to no explanation-
Borrowerinnit is like a cat- in the sense that he will randomly get in the way of anything you (or Techno) is trying to do
Borrowerinnit wants to see the outside world. Techno buys a hat. Everyone is confused as to why they can't see him take off the hat.
"Build a girlfriend" Barbie doll (or Polly Pocket doll, your choice)
"Hey Techno, I didn't take you for the type to buy a doll house?" "Oh- Dream- uh, yeah. Just dolls going in here-"
Borrowerinnit orders human!Techno to buy him a house.
I really like the giant Techno idea but I can't think of more-
New AUs (human!philza + borrower!tehcnoblade and human!technoblade + sizeshifter!philza)
Hello everyone!
Now pls, hear me out :D
I love happy endings, but! I wanted to try writing something dark and/or angst. And I hope I succeeded.
So :]
The first au will be oneshot.
Imagine the concept of a borrower living in your house, but you think it's an evil household spirit (in a pagan sense). So Phil will have time to worry before the truth is revealed.
The second au has something in common with the first au. But it'll be more complicated, and it probably won't be a oneshot.
It'll be based on East Slavic mythology, where Philza is a sizeshifter spirit that protects the house (which Techno moved to). He's invisible to humans, and I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing for Techno. In any case, it's scary.
I'll publish a excerpt about this au, which may not be canon, but it'll show how the au will work.
If someone likes the vibe, I'll just develop this story from the beginning. (I've already started, but if I publish this, I need to make some adjustments)
So it'll look like a 'situation' that could happen in this au.
Anyway, I'll publish this in the near days, hopefully tomorrow or the day after.
Thank you for your attention, and be nice :D
Have a good day/night guys!
Okay, so I know I said that the next story would be the one that was voted for but that one is taking a bit longer than I thought. I wrote this story back in january and I decided to polish it up a bit and post it.
It’s based off a post but I can’t seem to find it or remember who’s it was but it was about a borrower Phil helping a human Tommy, Techno, and Wilbur do better at life. If you know the post, please let me know!
Summary: Phil has grown attached to the three human boys who have just moved in. He also notices how bad at normal living things they are, so he decides to do something about it.
The new home Phil had just moved into was occupied by three fairly young humans. From what Phil had gathered from passing conversations, Wilbur and Techno were the eldest and only 2 minutes apart and Tommy was the youngest. They all referred to themselves as brothers although Phil doubted they were all actually blood related.
They were all...interesting, to say the least.
Okay, to be fair, Phil did find them all absolutely hilarious. He had to stop himself from laughing out loud multiple times in order to not be caught. But the humans were also a bit lackluster in the ‘life’ department.
Basically, the humans didn’t know how to take care of themselves properly.
All of them stayed up way past what was healthy (although Techno seemed to be the worst out of all of them, sometimes not even going to sleep), they barely cleaned the house they lived in (which, really, Phil shouldn’t be complaining about since it made borrowing easier but it was still disgusting), and Phil knew for a fact that there was no sign of anything healthy in the kitchen. The humans tended to eat a strict diet of fast food and chips.
Phil shouldn’t care, he couldn’t really afford to. He was a borrower and borrowers weren’t supposed to be seen. Let alone try and insert themselves into a human's life to try and fix their bad habits. Who knows what would happen to him if he let himself be known. He shouldn’t even be thinking about this in the first place.
But he was, and Phil was having a hard time understanding why.
Had he really grown a soft spot for these humans over the course of the last month?
Wilbur, with his passion for music and comedy, always making fun of his brothers (especially Tommy) but at the same time being incredibly protective over them.
Technoblade, with his hardened exterior but soft inside, the way he focused on things and went all out on them, and cared more than he’d ever let on.
And Tommy, who was young, loud, and brash but also quite mature and smart. He knew how to make people laugh and used that ability whenever given the chance.
...Yeah, he supposed the answer to his question was obvious.
The three humans had definitely won over his heart unlike anyone else ever had. Human and borrower alike.
But was all that really enough for Phil to risk literally everything in order to help these kids out?
Apparently yes.
“Alright, that’s it, we’re fixing things up around here!” Phil yelled out into the full kitchen. All three humans had been standing around, rummaging through pantries and the fridge while chatting with each other.
He had appeared on the counter with crossed arms. He would have preferred to be higher up and not within arms reach of the humans but that wasn’t possible for him in this area of the house. He just had to hope they’d be too shocked to think of grabbing him.
Wilbur, Techno, and Tommy looked at Phil in shock and awe and Phil tried his best to not squirm underneath their gazes.
“Wha-?” Wilbur started but Phil cut him off.
“Nope, none of that now. Here’s what’s going to happen.” Phil looked to Wilbur first. “Wilbur, you are going to go to the store and get some actual groceries. I want this place stocked full of protein and veggies and some fruits. No chips or candies, got it?”
Wilbur only stared open mouthed at him. “How do you know my-”
“I said, do you got it?” Phil interrupted again, his tone turning more stern. Wilbur stood up straighter.
“Um, uh, yes--yes sir.” And with that Wilbur grabbed his keys and headed out. Phil blinked, almost not believing that actually worked.
And he certainly wasn’t expecting to be called sir of all things.
He turned towards Tommy and Techno, who were looking at him with much the same expression.
“What the s***?” Tommy muttered, looking between him and where Wilbur had just left.
“Now, you two are going to clean this house top to bottom before Wil comes back, yeah? This place is a f****** mess.”
Tommy looked like he wanted to protest but Techno placed a hand on his shoulder to stop him. Phil and Techno met gazes, both intense. Though Phil couldn’t help but notice how much of an advantage Techno had, with his size and all.
“...We’ll clean up but only if you promise to stick around.” Techno said.
Phil blinked. “...I wasn’t planning on leaving, not permanently. I’ll be going back into the walls but I’ll be back when Wilbur is.” Phil said honestly, not even worrying about the fact that he had revealed where he lived.
Techno looked at him silently for a few moments before nodding.
“...Alright. Come on, Tommy. Let’s clean this place.”
Techno dragged Tommy away, who was in the midst of confused yelling and cursing. Phil winced but didn’t blame him.
Phil was honestly really surprised that that went well. The humans had actually listened to him, which was just, mind-boggling for the borrower. But he wasn’t going to complain, especially if this meant the humans would start taking care of themselves better.
Phil slipped back into the walls. He’d be back, just as he told Techno but for now, he didn’t want to be out in the open.
***
Wilbur was back home an hour later, coming into the house with five grocery bags on each arm. He set them on the table and looked around for the little person that had told him to go out in the first place.
“He’s not here but he said he’d be back.” Techno answered, coming into the kitchen. He was wearing gloves and his hair was up in a ponytail. He was also holding a duster, one that he quickly put back underneath the sink. At the confused look Wilbur gave him, Techno shrugged. “He told Tommy and I to clean the house.”
“Yeah! And it sucked! Why did we listen to that weird tiny man again?” Tommy asked, coming into the kitchen as well. He was quick to throw off his own gloves.
Wilbur started putting the food away, thinking it over. “I don’t...I don’t know. It is weird though, isn’t it?”
“You can say that again.” Tommy scoffed. “I have half a mind to stick the guy in a jar the next time I see him.”
“Um...please don’t.”
All three humans turned in surprise toward the sudden voice. There, on the opposite counter, where he had appeared the first time, was the tiny person again. He looked a bit more nervous than before, probably thanks to Tommy’s threat.
“Huh, so you actually came back.” Techno commented.
The tiny man looked confused. “Well yeah, I said I would, didn’t I?” His eyes wandered between the three of them, but mostly towards Tommy and Techno honestly couldn’t blame him.
“Don’t worry,” He felt the need to say, placing a hand on Tommy’s shoulder. “No one is sticking anyone in any jars. Right?” Techno directed the last word to Tommy, who looked offended.
“Come on! I wasn’t actually going to do it!” Tommy shouted. The tiny man winced at the volume but looked a bit more relaxed than before.
“If you don’t mind me asking…” Wilbur suddenly spoke up and Techno was surprised to see that he had taken a couple of steps closer to the tiny man. “Who are you? What are you? And why did you...tell us to do these things?” Wilbur asked, motioning toward the groceries.
The tiny man shrugged. “I saw how you all lived, didn’t think it was healthy, and I decided to insert myself forcefully into your lives in order to help you out.” The tiny man explained simply.
The three humans blinked at him.
“Ah.” Wilbur said. “Okay, yeah no, that’s fair.”
“Okay, but you didn’t answer the other questions!” Tommy said loudly and man, Tommy’s loudness probably wasn’t good for the tiny man’s equally tiny ears.
“Ah right, about that.” The man looked a bit nervous again. “See, technically, my kind aren’t allowed to speak to humans. Or show ourselves for that matter. I’m breaking a lot of rules by being here with you three.”
“And?” Tommy demanded and Techno tried to reel him in a little. He didn’t want Tommy scaring him off.
“And part of those rules is to not tell our species name to the humans.” The tiny man paused. “Although at this point does it even matter?” The question was mostly muttered to himself but that didn’t stop Wilbur from answering anyway.
“I’m going to say no but only because I want to know.” Wilbur said. He hadn’t moved any closer but Techno realized he was in reach of the small man. He wasn’t making any moves towards the little man though, so Techno let him be.
The tiny man laughed, throwing everyone off. “Well, when you put it like that...” He said with a shake of his head. “Alright, but…” The tiny man grew serious, reminding them of earlier, when they first met. “Ya can’t tell anyone about me, alright? Having three humans knowing about me is already too much, I don’t need any more.”
“You have our word.” Techno spoke up for everyone. Neither Wilbur nor Tommy spoke up to say otherwise.
The tiny man nodded and smiled. “Right then. My name is Phil and I’m a borrower.”
