Summary
The royal family of Antarctic empire isn’t exactly close. Emperor Philza is always occupied; Tommy hasn’t seen Techno in months, and even if Wilbur is here, their relationship can be described to be strained at best. The royal family doesn’t need to be close, however, it only needs to be balanced, like the pillars holding the country above their heads – as long as they are strong and steady, the Empire will be too. It’s the principle that held Tommy’s back straight and his shoulders broad through the years of hardships and trials of errors; through yet another formal meeting where his father’s gaze would look past him and where his brother’s words would be filled with poison that makes the deepest parts of his soul ache. At that time, Tommy couldn't know that his family would find a replacement for him in the face of a commoner boy named Ranboo.~🦋~Tommy's family has replaced him. It's only fair that he gets to do the same.

10 months agooh my fucking god this is amazing and i know im late to this fic but DAMNabsolutely fucking amazing! (who needs a heart anyways, right?)

10 months agoAAAAAA ANOTHER PERSON THAT READS THE REMARRIED EMPRESSBut honestly, this hurts to read (/pos). Tommy's being a jackass, but he was raised that way. He's royalty after all, and here's Ranboo (a good kid, but he's still replacing Tommy) being favored. I mean, that would hurt. Tommy's directly family and Phil just ignores him and Ranboo doesn't even need the titles n' shit (kinda reminds me of Trashta except Ranboo's a good person). I SWEAR, IF TOMMY TAKES OVER ANOTHER KINGDOM IM GONNA THROW A HAPPY FIT-Revolution my beloved, you fuel my soul and you will grace this fic's presence with my guidance

10 months agotommy angst my favorite.just when they finally get the long awaited hit when tommy leaves is just gonna be soooo good :) i can't wait!!!
Chapter 1
10 months ago*Sees the summary* Well... it's not like I needed my heart for continual living things, Teyz!!! This is gonna be one hell of a ride though!!!!! Ahhhh!!!! I can't wait to see the jealousy and the neglect that leads to Tommy leaving!!!! I can't wait for Tommy to find a better life with Dream!!!! And I can't wait for SBI to REGRET!!!! I imagine because Tommy's tried so hard to be the perfect heir they've forgotten he's just a kid (I'm sure Tommy's forgotten who he is under everything as well T^T) and I bet losing him, at first, is going to be a punch to the gut because he does SO MUCH for them and they suddenly lose that. And THEN when they see Tommy later it's a bigger punch to the gut, because he's more open and happy after being away from the throne/kingdom/family T^TAlso I love how you're writing the Royal family (where they need to bow and correctly call each other by their title,etc.) and how that's clearly thrown aside for Ranboo, which makes Tommy's upset both understandable and reasonable (though I'm sure Phil and the others won't see that). Phil is being unfair here and I dread how much worse it'll all be as the rest of the family are brought in T^T At least there's the promise of good guy Dream in the future!!!(Also! Also! Also! I hope the people of the Kingdom HATE the change of Tommy not being heir, they seem to think he'll be a successful and just ruler! TIME FOR REVOLUTION, BOYS!!!!)Loving this!!!! <3

10 months agoI'm already so invested in this fic and it's only been one chapter. I really love how Tommy's character is starting out in this. He's obviously cold and stern but you can't really tell if he's showing any emotion because he sounds so neutral. I hope we'll get to see him loosen up soon, specifically around Dream but right now I'm kinda liking his vibe

10 months agoI've read Remarried Empress (and currently waiting for the next season), so I have a slight idea where this will be heading. I'm excited what you'll do with the plot and Tommy's journey/reaction for the future events. And especially with Dream (because he is my favorite cc) and how he'll be with Tommy. I'm looking forward to this!
Chapter 1
10 months agoBruh the way they speak sounds so accurate as to how I'd imagine them to if they were royalty :0 the description sounds incredibly interesting and I am excited to read more!

10 months agoim already hurt ;- ;can't wait for more!

10 months agoOk so uh, first things first, c!Phil is a bitch and I would happily sock him in the faceSecond, tommy is giving me slight catra vibes and I am all for it. Neglectful parental figure favoring someone else? Tommy will eventually snap and rightfully so.Also Ranboo just nervously standing there with some obvious imposter syndrome is killing me. I just rly want him and tommy to become friends then call out phil for being a bitch Ù^ÚBasically I love this already <3
Chapter 1
10 months agocant wait for these jackasses to see tommy the literal sunshine innit playing around with *looks at tags* drista and dream and sapnap and george while sam looks on fondly and realise what they have been missing and hopefully will continue missing forever /srson another note, i am an absolute sucker for bad fam sbi not treating tommy right so he pop off with better fam who treasure him better au so thank you so much for doing this, your writing is really lovely i feel like kwording philza right there hshsh ilysm /p cant wait to read for more!!
sleep_lover24
10 months agoi just KNOW this story is gonna be SOOOOO GOOOD!quick question though, i know this is heavily based on remarried empress (twas the vibes i was getting before reading the note at the end) and is ranboo gonna be… ya know, like trashta? i just feel it’d be really interesting to seeanyways can’t wait to see what happens next! see you in the next chapter!!

10 months agoBAD DAD PHIL MY BELOVED LETS GO BABYYY TEYZ YOURE AT IT AGAIN
Chapter 1
10 months agoOne of my favorite things is when a character who has been hurt by family finds another family to heal and the others just watch in regret... but I got the feeling I should wait to more chapters because I would not be able to digest the mistreatment... not without the good family. Keep up the good work!!!

10 months agoDon’t know anything about remarried empress but I am loving your story! Honestly I kinda want Dream to kidnap Tommy and basically convince him to stay with hugs because I feel like that would be faster then whatever Dream is plotting right now.

SugaryPie
10 months agoOooh I am already mad FOR Tommy in this. Publicly embarrass him, not tell him about this new guest that is already getting special treatment, despite him practically doing more than his OLDER BROTHER??? We got problems here, Remarried Empress prepared me for the bs that is about to go down (/pos)
Chapter 1
10 months agoThis is by far my favorite updating story right now and I NGCINWNDB PLEASEPLEASE JUST KIDNAP TOMMY ALREADY FOR F U C K S SAKe /jhe needs so much loveAlso THAT TWIST
DevourtheLifeless
10 months agoI am quite late to the party but I can tell this is going to be amazing, this is probably the first fic I’ve ever read where SBI isn’t happy, found family, etc., but I love the dynamic so far (not for Tommy, just for my reading pleasure). I’m assuming you are *not* a part of a royal family, but I love how you write this so much and I can tell that the amount of angst and suffering will be great and the scars it leaves on c!Tommy will be quite deep. Going to try to catch up before the fic ends so wish me luck and I’m liking this already

10 months agoHey there! I just want to say that this is such a cool story and I've been following it for a while now, I'm not sure if you respond to questions or comments but I was just wondering that if people wanted to make little oneshots of other scenarios if you have any boundaries for topics and such except for things like the obvious shipping stuff. Just wanted to ask so I'm not turning your wonderful idea into something rotten that you didn't really want portrayed. Thanks so much and I hope your taking care of yourself :D

10 months agoThis is the best combination of fandoms. I luv this.
Chapter 1
10 months ago*sees neglect in the summary* I've never pressed on a story so fast (Is it just me or is my ao3 broken cause the outline is gold- no like literally- my screen is gold)
Chapter 1
10 months agoI'm already enjoying this!Fun to see this perspective as its usually the other way around-Like the MC gets confronted by someone rudely and other person [Phil in this case] saves them and they get what they deserveNow Tommy has been taught that he should give two shits about commoner and its seen that Philza is special because he doesVery excited for the other chapters
alwaysboredntired
10 months agoIt seems like this is a painful picture I’m not sure I’ll be able to handle, I tend to feel the emotions of characters to further understand them. But the show must go on! And so I will continue to read it, I hope your story will entertain me till the very end.

NotASnaccImAMel
10 months agoHoly shit the style- Anyways I would normally be very ready to read this if it weren't for my personal rule not to read SBI fics where all (emphasis on all) three of Tommy's family are abusive and/or neglectful (they just make me sad and uncomfortable). However, I would be very happy to give it my kudos, as I love the concept.
