Summary

Dream would kill him. Dream was going to kill him- he was going to- no, he wouldn’t. Dream was his friend- friends don’t hit each other- Dream was supposed to take care of him- Dream /was/ taking care of him.It hurt to breathe. It hurt to think. He couldn’t clear his thoughts as he stumbled to the family computer, pulling up a tab on google and frantically typing the name into the search bar.The words Technoblade Watson stared back at him, the little black bar at the end of the letters blinking slowly, mocking him.Why, of all people, did it have to be Technoblade?in short: the one where dream sucks as a parental figure, tommy runs away, and visits his least favorite family member technoblade

why does this feel so goddamn familiar? OH WAIT BECAUSE THERE IS ACTUAL MANIPULATION AND GASLIGHTING. Personally, this kinda hits really close to home, the constant rules being changed and such, the hiding that is so incredibly accurate. I am not going to go too deep into it, but as someone who lives in really strict housing, the burner phone, the money, and the thinking is just so amazing. I am at a loss for words for how amazing this writing is. I can physically feel Tommy's emotions after being heartbroken, and doing the best you possibly can for it to only shatter because it did not follow expectations. This. Is. Amazing. I am sorry if this comes out as pushy or disrespectful but I am damn near vibrating at the thought of Tommy being removed from his toxic situation and how he might think continuing forward. You really amazed me with the accuracy, maybe I am attaching myself to someone's writing style/character, but damn this is truly amazing. Have a great night/evening/morning. :)

“He’d emailed Phil about it once, when he’d first moved with Dream. He’d never gotten a response“This honestly just really broke me. I can kind of understand Phil and Techno not feeling ready or up for it to take care of a 10 year old after Wilbur’s death (now that I’m thinking about it it’s still kind of shitty especially since Tommy was so close to Wilbur and after his death the rest of his family just abandoned him), but the fact that they didn’t even bother to stay in contact with him. Why was it so easy for them to forget about Tommy? How can one even do that to their own family member? And when Tommy was in a abusive household and decided to contact Phil about it ( which is a really brave and strong thing to do especially for a child), Phil never even bothered to read it. Sorry I’m ranting rn but it hits close to home lol. The fact you were able to make me feel anger, sadness, and dread so strongly really shows how good you are at writing! This is seriously amazing and it is a accurate portrayal of what child abuse can look like and how it can affect the victim. And how unfair the situation is. It’s so awful and stressful. Especially when it feels like the rest of your family just doesn’t care. I hope Tommy gets out of that abusive situation and Techno and Phil get your shit together and help the poor boy!!

Dude, this fic is seriously amazing. This was the first book I’ve read in awhile where I didn’t want to put it down because I wanted to figure out what happened next. I loved it so much that I made some fanart of it for a playlist cover on spotify. I gathered some songs that made me angsty about this fic and its called the same name of your fic. Thanks so much for creating something so amazing.
