Today's fic friday is about: Money Can't Buy Happiness

MCBH was born from a whump prompt I saw on tumblr and like my other fics I could talk about everything I'd change now but that's fucking boring. So let's talk about the wider implications and also the sequel that's somewhere deep in my google drive.

Specifically, the dynamic of Kristin and Wilbur vs Phil and Tecchno.

Kristin is the Queen, Wilbur is the Prince and to the world outside the castle Phil and Techno are nothing more than their loyal guards, and slaves.

Like, it's kind of an open secret that Prince Wilbur and later Prince Tommy are Phil's sons. But if anyone were to voice that, well Kristin's the queen and that kind of accusation is an act of treason and treason means death. So no one says shit.

But like, it's pretty obvious, but even though it's obvious Phil and Techno are both hybrids, second class citizens, third class citizens really because they're legally property.

And the implications, oh the implications of first Techno and then Tommy not understanding what the fuck is going on because no one fucking explains it.

Techno who was bought but only after Phil pointed out every little flaw he could find to knock down the price. He doesn't understand that Phil's trying to help, that he had to bring down the price somehow so that he could buy Techno on Kristin's behalf. Then he's stuck thinking that the Queen will realize that he's as useless as Phil made him out to be and throw him out.

Prince Wilbur is covered in gold and despite the Queen and Phil being nice to him, giving him his own room, nice clothes and food from the neather Techno doesn't have any gold. They give Wilbur so much, but he's not given any so they must hate him or are waiting for him to fuck up so that they can get rid of him once and for all, maybe sell him to someone else. It gets cleared up eventually, he gets his gold and starts to feel like they won't throw him out.

Tommy's own misunderstanding of the dynamic was going to be explored in the sequel. A five year old who doesn't understand why his big brother Technoblade and his father stop smiling and hugging him when other people are around, how they call him Prince Theseus when ten minutes ago they were calling him Tommy and he was sitting in Techno's lap while he read him a story.

He gets so upset when he tries to hug Techno in the market but Techno doesn't return the hug, he just stands still and lets it happen. It's the same with Phil he'll give Tommy a little pat on the shoulder or carry him when he's tired but it's not the same as when it's just them. He's still so formal, he called Tommy by his full name and while he's still smiling it lacks that love and familiarity it has when it's just the family.

I was going to have someone eventually sit down with Tommy and explain it all in child friendly terms, I was thinking Phil at the time but I think Wilbur would be better. After all he experienced the same thing with Phil when he was a kid. I'm not sure on the ending, I think Tommy would understand but also hate it because it's not fair. Which could be good to lead into a third instalment maybe.

There was also a prequal considered for how Kristin and Phil met but that's been much less thought out and I have no plans to write the sequel much less a third installment, maybe some day. Maybe I'll rewrite the first and make it a trilogy of sorts but I doubt it.
