Assassin!Tubbo and Anarchist!Tommy AU

Basically, turning Tubbo’s presidency, things take a vastly different turn, when Purpled, already starting up his Assassin gig, and out gathering supplies, finds Tubbo collapsed from exhaustion in the woods. 

Feeling sympathy for the other boy, and recalling that he’s one of the few he really has a bond with, Purpled takes him back to his base, and the two talk things out while Tubbo rests.

He admits he’s been struggling, and how he wishes he wasn’t president. How he never wanted to have this weight on his shoulders, and he wants Tommy back. He’s tired, he says.

Purpled listens, and offers a solution-to help him disappear. And Tubbo doesn’t want to be selfish, doesn’t want to be cruel, but the other points out that maybe he deserves to be. Maybe, for once, he deserves to put his wants above others-because all he’s ever done is…well. Not.

By the end of the week, L’manberg’s third president is gone with the wind, only a single message left in his wake.

Tubbo_ fell from a high place. 

He doesn’t respawn in his bed in L’manberg. He doesn’t respawn at all. 

By the end of the month, he is presumed dead.

(And oh, how they whisper, about just why that is)

Tommy’s wail of grief lingers in the ears of all who heard it at the funeral, but what they don’t hear is the growing hatred for the country that has taken everything from him. His brothers, his disc, his happiness, his Tubbo.

He was lucky enough to get one brother back, and he might one day get his disc, but he can never have Wilbur, or Tubbo again. 

And L’manberg will burn for that.

Meanwhile, within a cavern that’s slowly turning into a home, the said to be dead president sheds his suit for something a little less likely to stain, and a little easier to kill in.

Featuring lots of Purpled & Tubbo friendship, as well as Sleepy Bois family bonding.

FNAF Vanny 🤝 TADC Pomni: being bullied by a rabbit

I crave BAMF Tubbo and more fics about Tubbo’s bond with the SBI-mostly Techno, because those two have more similarities than most realize.

So, AU.

Technoblade and Tubbo are a bit closer in this AU. This starts a bit after Tubbo is adopted into the family. 

Techno knows his family loves him. Of course he does. But..it’s hard sometimes, being the only one without wings. Being the only one with no resemblance to them. And Tubbo comes, and he’s adopted too. And Techno feels a bit of a bond with him, the two of them being the only none-bird hybrids in the house. 

So those two get close, in their own way. Anyone outside the family probably wouldn’t see it, but Tubbo learns how to do stitches when his big brother comes home hurt and can’t do them himself, and Techno memorizes the storybook his little brother has him read every night, with no complaints. It’s the little things. 

Tommy has Wilbur, and Tubbo has Techno. And they all have each other. 

Eventually the family starts drifting a bit. Phil starts playing favorites a little. They try. They really do. But it’s not enough, and one day, Techno and Phil return to an empty house, and a note that explains that Wilbur is taking the kids and going somewhere else.

Techno finds a worn bee plushie on his bed, with a note of his own.

‘I’ll see you soon!’ 

Fast forward however many years later, and the piglin hybrid finds himself getting a call. From Tommy, who babbles about how he wasn’t supposed to call them, but Pogtopia(?) needs help and so does Wilbur, and Tubbo’s in trouble-

A mess, really.

Techno comes, of course. They’re family. He would never leave them when they needed him.

So he joins the rebellion, does what he can, and then, tragically, the festival happens. 

(Not even an hour ago, he was farming potatoes while Tubbo chattered away from his side, a wide smile on his face, and eyes full of trust and warmth)

Techno has never done well with peer pressure(The voices, the voices, tHE VOICES). He aims his crossbow at his little brother’s chest, from where he stands locked in a cage, with frightened, worried eyes. He stalls, waits for any signal of rescue, any sign that he won’t be the weapon that takes his brother’s life.

Nothing comes. He can see the exact moment Tubbo realizes. His eyes are still trusting, and his smile forgiving, as his hands shake from where they’re wrapped around the cold iron of his cage.

He pulls the trigger. Blood flies, the voices roar, and somewhere in his blood rage, Technoblade realizes that this place was doomed from the start-and if it was not, then it certainly was now, with his gentle-hearted brother’s blood staining the earth.

Tubbo respawns in Pogtopia, and his eyes are glazed and unseeing. Wilbur tries to make his brothers fight in the pit. The hybrid refuses. Enough blood has been spilled tonight.

Here’s where the training starts. Because Tubbo’s blindness will not remain, is not permanent, luckily, but it will still take time for his eyesight to return, and there is a war coming.

It would be a dishonor to himself and to his family if he were to leave Tubbo unable to fight after rendering him so.

It just so happens that, prepared as ever, Techno learned how to fight blind ages ago. Because you never know what will happen, and he needed a challenge. So he teaches Tubbo.

You’ve got heightened hearing, so use it. Pay attention to the sounds, pay attention to the air, pay attention to the people. Give them false weaknesses, use your real ones, press every advantage. Be quick, be clever, be merciless.

Anyway, Tubbo becomes a total badass. Either nobody knows, because Techno figures doing this secretly will give him more of an advantage, or they don’t take it seriously, because, well. They don’t take kids very seriously, often, even in wars, do they? And it’s Tubbo. Tubbo’s never a threat(not).

Fast forward again. Schlatt dies, Pogtopia loses, and Wilbur tries to make Tommy president.

You can see the shared moment of confusion between the two. The slow realization that they’re setting up another government, after what the last one did.

(Tubbo thought they’d make L’manberg a community, or something. No government, no politics, just peace and them, all together again. Techno just didn’t think they’d use him for the very thing he fought against)

Tommy turns it down, and gives the title to Tubbo. In front of everyone.

Tubbo’s never done well with peer pressure. Just another trait he shares with the eldest brother.

L’manbergs explosion happens, the withers, and such. In the chaos, Techno is giving out every subtle warning he can for his apprentice without saying a thing. 

Wilbur dies, and Techno flees, and from here, there are two options.

Option one: He takes Tubbo with him. He grabs his horse, and offers a hand out for the other, and Tubbo takes it, because he has no intention of being president when there’s another option.

They run and make a cozy life in the snow, eventually joined by Philza, Ghostbur, and, much later, a Tommy who held on and got hurt for it.

Option two: Techno doesn’t get the chance. Tubbo is forced to stick around, and bare the weight of a nation he can feel crumbling by the day. The events of canon happen, with much remorse and unhappiness between the brothers.

Dream is defeated, Snowchester forms, and if Techno finds his way over there, and the two trade apologies along with gifts and warm drinks, well. There’s nobody around to see.

Basically, just Tubbo being cool, and epic, as he should be, and Techno and Tubbo being brothers, and bonding. 

Seriously, if anyone has any good fics with BAMF Tubbo, and Techno and Tubbo friendship, please tell me.
