reunion
Summary: Tommy returns to L’Manberg and civilization after the self-proclaimed “end” of his exile to dispute the claim that he blew up the Community House, but there are more immediate, more pressing matters at hand (aka Tubbo).
Genre: hurt/comfort
(minor canon divergence because an event happens in the smp and i go “but i can make this more dramatic”; also spoilers for s2)
Tubbo stands, frozen, as Tommy drops down onto the wooden planks from above. Everyone falls silent.
“Dream, you don’t need the disks.” Dream doesn’t reply, and due to the mask, Tommy can only guess why. He sighs. He’s back in L’manberg, again, even though he’s still banished. But this time is different.
Every other time, he and Technoblade had snuck around in the shadows, taking invis pots or just trying not to be seen. But now? He almost feels powerful. Sure, he’s still invisible for another minute or two (good, they won’t see how rough he looks), but everyone knows he’s here. In clear defiance of the pact between Dream and Tubbo.
“Tommy?”
Oh.
It’s been… a very long time since he’d heard that voice last.
He looks a little worse for the wear, and the crack in his voice when he’d said Tommy’s name couldn’t have been any more obvious, but… it’s Tubbo. And that on its own is special, somehow.
Tubbo looks as though he’s about to cry. That strikes Tommy as odd, just a little, but now isn’t the time for cynicism. “Hi… Tubbo.”
“I thought you were dead!” cries Tubbo, and Tommy suddenly understands exactly why Tubbo looks so gaunt, why the circles under his eyes are so dark, why anyone could tell from just a glance that he hasn’t been taking care of himself.
“I’m sorry.” He falls silent. His apologies and his excuses are never enough, and that holds true this time as well.
“Just hug already!” someone—Tommy doesn’t care enough to register who—yells, and Tommy barely keeps his balance as Tubbo hurls himself into Tommy’s arms.
Even though Tommy doesn’t have asthma, he finally feels as though he can breathe again, as though he’d been holding his breath this whole time. Something about holding Tubbo in his arms like this—well, while it doesn’t completely erase everything Dream did to him and everything that happened during his exile, it does help. And as Tubbo sobs into his t-shirt, Tommy’s invis wears off.
He knows how shit he looks. If Tubbo looks bad, then Tommy looks as though he’s fallen down the side of a mountain. No, as though he’d been pushed. The dark circles under his eyes are a little fainter now that he’s been staying at Techno’s, but they still inexplicably linger, despite the eight hours of sleep he’s been getting every night. He’s gained seven or eight new scars during his time in Logstedshire. There are others in L’manberg or the Greater SMP with as much or more, but not many. His clothes have tears, and Wilbur’s oversized trenchcoat (normally draped around his shoulders) is today worn as intended. His hair is longer than it’s ever been, hanging loose around his shoulders for lack of a hair tie.
(Even still, to Tubbo, Tommy is a sight for sore eyes. Tommy doesn’t know this. He also doesn’t know that, underneath the smell of the wilderness, the distinct scent of spice (cinnamon?)—it’s so unanimous with Tommy in Tubbo’s head—is still distinguishable.)
“Don’t ever scare me like that again,” Tubbo breathes into Tommy’s shoulder.
“I won’t, I promise.” It’s true. He means it. As long as he lives, he wouldn’t ever hurt Tubbo, and he won’t.

I was finally able to record this well and finally worked my way up to posting it. So here is an original song I wrote from the perspective of c!Dream. Spoilers for s2 (the exile arc) and tw for brief mentions of suicidal thoughts/suicide attempt.
This is the first song but also the shortest, so give it a listen if you can, it’s only two minutes. If you like it, share it with a friend!

needless to say, i'm a little upset. this song has always hit close to home for me, but this line hurts now.
I'm a little hesitant about posting this for obvious reasons, but i liked the way the words in particular turned out.
(i don't want to cancel Fundy. all i want is for him to apologize. I'm not gonna tag this w any of the fandom or creator tags, but if you do somehow see this anyway, cool.)
