Summary

“Please,” one soldier told Techno over dinner, “The Blood God isn’t going to help you. He doesn’t accept any of the blood sacrifices the generals leave for him, so either he doesn’t exist, or he thinks he’s too good for the likes of us. Either way, it’s best to find a different patron.”Techno had punched him in the face for that. None of his other comrades ever brought up the Blood God again.Well, except for one.“You follow the Blood God?” the new kid said, staring up at Techno with unbelievably blue eyes.“Yeah,” Techno replied, perhaps a bit gruffer than he meant to, “What’s it to you?”“Nothing!” the new kid said, grinning wildly, “I love that guy. He gets all the ladies. Hey, we should be friends!”Or: Techno is the last devout follower of the Blood God. Tommy may or may not be said god.

I love this so much! I think I might’ve found a new favorite trope. Does a trope exist where a God interacts with a follower of them without the follower knowing?

once again another amazing story, ive officially binge read all of your dsmp fics. You write the tommy saves techno concept so well!

This is an incredible idea, and the idea of tommy being the blood god and caring deeply for his last follower... Man it's just so good. Especially with how Techno acts like the adult in the situation, despite Tommy being the older more powerful one. Such a fascinating story. Also it makes sense for Tommy to be so possessive and honestly a little dark, but considering who he is that's to be expected. Gotta say though, love the idea of smaller Tommy being the actual badass of the two, even though techno is much more outwardly terrifying. Overall, incredible characterization, great story, and a fantastic idea. Well done.

Love the this fic!! Really love the idea of Tommy being this god and being protective over Techno. Techno is so oblivious huh. The dynamic is wholesome and really cute. Excited for the next chapter, take your time of course.

This is amazing! I love how Tommy was like "me and Ponk trade favors all the time" because that sounds like something they would do, especially if their characters had become closer in the smp!

I’m a sucker for God!Tommy and mortal!Techno. I love how it’s always techno being so protective and Tommy is a literal god. It’s so cute.I can just picture baby techno just leaving a baked potato on a dead body and it’s too wholesome. Just hhhhh wholesome soft techno hours.

Holy SHIT this shit is so fucking good, what a concept!!"'Nothing!' the new kid said, grinning wildly, 'I love that guy. He gets all the ladies. Hey, we should be friends!'" LMAOOOOOO just Tommy being like "oh yeah, he gets MAD amounts of bitches" is so fucking funny"Still, no self-respecting adult would follow Techno around like a confused duckling all day, asking inane questions and taking up all of his time." AWWWWWWEEEEEE Tommy and his clingy tendenciesTechno constantly praying for Tommy's safety is so fucking funny, especially cause Tommy can HEAR those prayers. Imagine having to hear this big ass fucking buff dude who's your friend every morning be like "and please keep them safe, cause they're tiny and weak and can't do anything to protect themselves" and you just have to stand there and take it. It must have been so scary for Tommy when Techno was dying, though, because like how much would it SUCK to see that your friend is dying and all they can think about is keeping you safeThen Techno being upset that Tommy asked Ponk for a favor :( Cause he's worried Tommy is going to be used and abused :(((Techno wanting to protect Tommy so bad and Tommy protecting him EVERY time is like a mix of so sweet and so funnyFucking love this fic, wonderful job!!

I love the fact that techno is like spilling his feeligns about tommy to the blood god meanwhile tommy is like 🥰 "Techno likes me"“Blood for the Blood God,” Techno muttered absently.“Not yours!” Tommy yelled, looking extremely distressed. He looked up at the sky, pulling his hands from Techno’s wound and clasping them in prayer.Yoooo this interaction is so good, got me right in the heart <3

“But Tommy wasn’t listening. He looked up at the sky and flipped it off. “You hear that, everybody? Fuck you!” Tommy paused. “Except Ponk! Thanks again!””AMAZING““Then can you keep holding me?” Tommy asked, voice wavering.”oh buddy““I’m a soldier, Tommy. The only new people I meet want to kill me. I’m pretty sure if I had come across a god, I would have been smited by now.””:DDDDDDD““Six lucky shots? Tommy, I saw you in training. You couldn’t hit a boulder, let alone six hands in a row.”“Five hands,” Tommy said, uncharacteristically bitter. “I missed the last one.””:DDDDDD

Instead of slaughtering prisoners of war, like the generals preferred, Techno would leave the Blood God a bit of his dinner. Extra supplies. Some flowers or pretty rocks. After so many years, he knew what his patron liked. The items were always gone by morning. You'd think after so many years of this guy being the only one to actually retain the god's attention people would...observe, and figure out what they're doing wrong. The idea of Tommy, bright, wonderful Tommy, enslaved to some random deity, forced to bend to their every will… It made Techno sick. If the gods of this 'verse are really known to misuse debts like that, I'm a little surprised Techno seems so chill with the blood god. Of course, he hasn't really been in a debt situation yet. “You shouldn’t insult the gods. And you shouldn’t give them blank checks, under any circumstances. That healing god isn’t going to just let you go!”Tommy cocked his head. “But you swore yourself to the Blood God.”“That’s different,” Techno insisted. “The Blood God… he’s not like the other gods.”“How?”“He… he protected me. When I was a kid. I owe him everything.” Then again, Techno sure seems to think he's in a debt situation, what with the childhood potato offering and all, but I think Tommy has a different idea of who did something for the other and who's paying the other back first.Tommy paused. “Would you do anything for him?” he asked softly.Techno nearly scoffed. “Of course. He’s my patron.”“Then can you keep holding me?” Tommy asked, voice wavering. ...is Tommy just realizing that his new brother is the little kid he helped off the battlefield that one time? I mean, he's also probably still reeling from Techno's near death, but still.(I've already read this story and what's up of the sequel so far, so this is just me doubling back to comment.)

i love this concept and it’s so well written! Techno being so worried about tommy insulting the gods or being indebted to them, while tommy doesn’t care because, you know, he is a god was so great!

“C’mon, Ponk,” Tommy prayed, screwing his eyes shut, “You give me this and I’ll owe you the biggest favor you’ve ever gotten! Anything you want!”--awww I love thatTommy smiled, though it looked a bit more like he was baring his teeth. “Death doesn’t get you,” Tommy said, voice manic and possessive and full of love, “You’re mine.”-- oooo he's a little freak! <3“Oh really? Name one.”“Death.”Techno’s heart did a weird little jump. “Sorry, did you just say you’ve met Lady Death?”“Yep!” Tommy said with a grin. “She’s really nice.”--fjciehfnif this whole exchange is gold Quickly, he glanced up at the sky.“Come on,” he said, a crooked grin stretching across his face, “that’s got to count.”--Mama Universe can the baby godling PLEASE have some divine power? Some divine power for the Blood God?Aaaaaa this is really cute so far!!!

I know this probably wasn't your intent but I am rolling in the floor laughing. Holy shit this is the funniest shit I have read since the PS4 script. It's also really ironic, especially with how Techno is freaking out about this child accidentally selling his soul and Tommy is just so worried for Technos safety. They're so fucking sweet but they're also dumbasses
