Ok but why is no one mentioning Jason in the new pjo book?
Like percy thinking about what Jason said during BOO and the fact that he's technically still alive during the books means a probable future cameo. Why the ull has the fandom just forgotten sparky? :(
I miss beeduo
Ok so twinduo. Fantastic start. But royalty. Even better. But VAMPIRES. INCREDIBLE!! Thats the AU that’s basically it SO
Techno is born into a vampire royal coven, his father, ruthless king, has just taken control over a proper kingdom of vampires (vampires in the world have historically been scattered for some time bc they always fought amongst themselves which let humans get the best of them bc humans outnumber vampires like a thousand to one but blah blah conquer power big strong coven and now there's a new small kingdom with the covens swearing their allegiance to one family name in return for protection against extinction. Cool? Cool.) so Techno is a prince!
He’s basically the prince of the vampires. Swag. He’s got his family, his mother, father, older sister, and a twin brother. He ages slowly (vampire genes) into a young teen, being very close to his brother all the while, the two of them nearly inseparable. The kingdom flourishes under actual rule and order and is able to attack other kingdoms and win for blood, thus feeding the citizens and boosting morale. Techno is taught with his brother about the ways of war, of how to fight against human kingdoms for the sake of their people. Techno is very good at these lessons. His brother? Eh not so much but thats ok they’re both the heirs, Techno can have it with his brother at his side.
Peace goes on (in the kingdom of vampires, at least) with war constantly being declared and neighboring kingdoms always being ransacked for blood. Then, unrest happens. One of the covens seeks greater power, and stages a coup. It fails, and they are killed for their efforts, but not without some loss.
Techno’s entire family is killed. He never sees his father, his sister, or his mother get murdered by the traitors, but he does witness his brother’s death. They both fight off attackers and manage to run, but Techno’s brother, still being young, still developing powers, cannot recover from his wounds. Technoblade is lucky, he gets away without, and he tries his best to save his brother, carrying his body down the bloody halls, to no avail. He becomes the last survivor of his coven, the only heir to the throne. People are half hesitant on following him, but also wanting to see what would happen in his rule, because his father was brilliant at war, and surely his fledgling would be the same?
They are right. When the mourning is over, the bodies are buried and Techno is crowned, he declares war, and vows to grow his kingdom and protect them like how he failed to protect his own.
Fast forward. Many years. Maybe a few decades or somethin i dunno. Techno has grown into looking like a young adult now. (Again, vampire genes) He is a merciless conqueror who is taking the world in his palm, kingdom after kingdom, ruler after ruler. He travels with his army, strong loyal vampires willing to kill and take what should be theirs.
Wilbur’s kingdom is next on the chopping block. Phil, the king, sees the threat coming and has known it would come for some time. He and his Queen, Kristin, prepare accordingly. However, Wilbur, often called a pacifist prince, insists there has to be a way to avoid war. He doesn’t want his kingdom to fall into ruin, but doesn’t want to go pissing off those vampires either. He assumes (wrongly, the idiot) that surely the vampire king has reason, and that surely they can make a deal with him. Phil doesnt agree with that plan at all. Wilbur our lovable Idiot doesnt care and sneaks off to try it anyway.
Wilbur somehow manages an audience with the king, Techno. He comes with his identity hidden at first, pleading for humanity, but Techno never had humanity in the first place so that’s a bust. Then he reveals himself, and begins bargaining, arguing that war cannot forever sustain a kingdom that survives off blood, and surely, a trade can be made between kingdoms, so that blood is supplied and peace is secured.
Technoblade doesnt listen to Wilbur’s words. Not for a lack of caring, or a lack of empathy, but because upon seeing Wilbur’s face, he sees the same face that repeats in his dreams every night, the same face he sees in the reflection of water, the same face that has haunted him.
Wilbur, through a sheer fucking stroke of fate, was born with the same face as Techno. He looks exactly like his twin.
Techno agrees to the deal. He agrees to peace in return for a trade, he agrees to it all. But he changes the terms. He will spare Wilbur’s kingdom, on the condition— that Wilbur goes with him. He stays here, within vampire territory, in Techno’s sight. (In his reach, so that he won’t need to lose his brother again.) Wilbur thinks this is a power play, and so agrees (altho cant really say no now can you) and decides to figure out a way to both survive and gain the favor of the king while he’s at it, because while he is known as the Naive Prince, he is also well known for his persuasion.
War efforts halt. Wilbur’s kingdom waits in dread, having gotten a letter from Wil of his situation. They know they can’t provoke the king, because then Wil is in danger, and Wilbur cannot leave, because he is surrounded.
Wilbur tries to settle. He tries to make political connections and tries to not let anyone intimidate him, and he’s a little startled at how easy it is. The servants smile upon him kindly, the soldiers are stern but polite, and Techno is…distant. (But how could you blame him that vampire has got Trauma)
With vampires, magic is also widely believed. With that, comes the idea of reincarnation. Techno wholeheartedly believes that Wilbur is his brother, and for all the efforts he’s made, all the work he’s done to protect his own, the gods have decided to reunite him with his twin. Everyone believes this as well, and so they treat Wilbur like their own prince, albeit this one is human and a little unknowing, but that could always be fixed, with time.
Eventually, Wilbur finds out about this. Techno confronts him, awkward but honest, and Wilbur is fucking terrified. Here is a vampire who thinks he’s his brother, a part of his coven, and that he’s just been reborn to return to him.
He wants out because he knows he’ll be turned into a vampire if he doesn’t act quickly.
However. Techno favors him. Technoblade, the fearsome vampire king, the most dangerous evil in the lands, is favorable towards him. Whatever Wil wants, he gets it. He wants a full course meal made from his home kingdom? The supplies are gathered and dinner is ready by sunset. He wants gold, silver, jewels of any kind? Techno has plenty, all those kingdoms have given great reward and he’ll happily hand them over.
Even someone’s bloody head, Wilbur can ask for it. A vampire noble bothered him, scaring him and telling him he’s a conniving human just trying to gain the throne? He tells Techno of it once, and that noble is never seen again, his head presented to others as an example.
Wilbur, while certainly a glorified prisoner, has power. He has proximity, and maybe with some work, he can even gain trust from his “brother.” With enough acting, with pretending to believe he is Techno’s brother, he can lure this monster into his death and gain victory for mankind.
But here’s the question: Can Wilbur take all the benefits, all the power, and the throne, and manage to return home still human? Or will he fall, choked by his own lies, tempted by a life of absolute power, and become a monster himself?
You guys are so silly sometimes really appreciate you
Here are some SBI fics i’ve read on AO3 I thought I would share :). Some are one-shots, series, longer fics a mix of the sort. As well as a mix of different tropes. SOME ARE DARK SBI FICS SO PLEASE READ THE TAGS AND TW’s. As well as some might be crime boys, bedrock duo, etc. This is just all the fics i’ve read throughout 2022 so I’d thought i’d give recs for anyone who needs them! Anyways enjoy :). I will add more as the days go on but here are some from my list! :)
You Can’t Spell Student Government Without Three Letters From Stupid by leafcabbage: This is a Ranboo-Centric fic that features bench trio. I believe there are different POV’s and I know it isn’t just an SBI fic but I thought I would list it. This is the first fic apart of the series it’s in. This was honestly one of the best fics i’ve ever read. It talks a lot about struggling with mental illnesses and the stressors of being an overworked college student and it immediately draws you in. It is a long fic but i highly recommend. (Completed)
Might As Well Be Dead by Timeskip_God: This one is Tommy-Centric and features a lot of dark themes so pay attention to the warnings. Features Eburnean Tommy AU as well as SBI. I believe it takes place in the DSMP universe but i could be wrong. This one might be a tear jerker so watch out. Overall I love this fic and it was definitely a good one. 10/10 (Completed)
A Very Odd Family Indeed by Opheliabloo: This one I believe is multiple perspectives or it may just be Philza-Centric. It talks about how Philza finds children and says you’re mine now :). Has angst with happy ending so very good. (completed)
Little Flower by Peb_ble_sto_ne: Okay you better strap in because this one hurt. This is a one shot but it includes HEAVY angst. Switches from multiple POV’s. Tommy battles with depression while his brothers try to fix their broken relationship. This one is so sad but is so good. (completed)
That’s My Kid, My Sunrise by Spooky_mateo: Apocalypse AU with kid Shroud the Spider. Tommy-Centric. Tommy tried to keep his kid safe and finds something that was missing found along the way. Very Very good! (completed).
sleepy bois incorporated 💤
c!crimeboys and growing up
st cast >>>>
remember that one post of me simping for yelena and wanda?
*simping intensifies
One thing I think about is how c!Tommy yesterday was in my opinion also very aware of c!Wilbur's mental state. c!Wilbur enters the home shaking, stumbling in his voice, very much scared and worried. He pushes c!Tommy out of the conversation and constantly seems ready to tell him something and avoids doing so. c!Tommy spends that time checking in on him, doing silly things, making him laugh, because he's not stupid i'm sure he knows that c!Wilbur has a serious thing he wants to discuss but cant. c!tommy is aware that being given a job is common in place of serious conversation between them. He knows he can't force c!Wilbur to talk about it, and so he just sticks by him and does what he can do in the moment and I think that is just very sweet.
the marauders era girls are everything!
