Summary
Philza struggled to keep standing straight, dizzy from blood loss, a white-knuckle grip on his sword.
“I have heard much of you, emperor Philza, and I have respect for you. Therefore, I’ll offer you a deal. You will surrender. You will kneel before me, right here, right now, and beg for mercy. Then I’ll take you to the Nether with me, and you’ll become my prisoner, slave, and personal servant. Or-”
The Blood God raised his netherite blade, pointing the tip straight at Philza’s heart.
“-I will allow you to die with a sword in your hand, and once you’re dead, I will slaughter your children.”
Philza fell to his knees without hesitation.
~~~
Philza had been prepared for a lot of things when he was taken as a war prize: the loss of his basic freedom, the heartbreak of being separated from his sons, the indignity of being reduced into the piglin king’s “pet”.
What he hadn’t been expecting was for the man behind the blood-stained mask to be soft-spoken, or good-natured, or tired from the weight of his crown.
Or lonely.

Desperately hoping that Phil kidnaps techno and they both live happily ever after in the over world, or that they bridge the two kingdoms together or something, let them be together 😭
Basic premise:
Instead of killing Phil and his sons, techno takes Phil as a war prize during a battle. While keeping up the ruse of “slave, pet, concubine” they become friends -

Summary
“Kid, I’m not gonna hurt you,” Phil assured, actively trying to keep his wings from fluffing up out of stress.
“That’s what a fuckin’ wrong’un would say.”
Sighing, he sat down on the likely filthy ground, cringing when he felt his lower feathers sweep against it. Anything to be non-threatening. The kids' distrust was palpable and the only thing he could do was ask questions and hope for an answer.
”How long have you been out here? Uh, and who were you with?” he started, trying to construct a timeline of events in his head. Those were important, right?
“I was separated from my two brothers a couple hours ago,” they explained, voice wavering slightly, “They’re fuckin’ strong and would kick the shit out of a bitch like you.”
----
Phil, a man who never quite came back out of his shell after losing his wife, finds a very lost Tommy in an alley and offers to help find his family and give him a place to stay for the night. No good deed goes left unpunished and a severe lapse in communication leaves him bedridden for days with some new faces to help him out.

Summary
“I’m Tommy! Do you have guns?”
That last sentence wasn’t typical for introductions. Even Techno could tell with his limited social interactions. Still, Company policy required that he responded to clients.
“Yes,” was all he said.
Tommy’s eyes lit up. “How many?”
“Sixteen.”OR: Murderbot AU. No, you don't need to have read the series to understand. In which Techno is Murderbot, AKA a security construct who hacked his governor module and just wants to play Minecraft but will nonetheless protect his human clients (not family, never family).
Phil, Wilbur, and Tommy are said human clients, who come to see him as more than just a security robot.
If anything happens to them, Techno will kill everyone on this planet and then himself.- Language:

I’ve been putting this fic off for a bit but I’m so glad I read it, I was entirely absorbed as soon as I started
Techno is an augmented human/cyborg sold as a security guard
He’s contracted out to sbi who learn he’s sentient -

Summary
“Bullshit. That’s the dumbest thing you could do.”
“And why would that be?”
Too many responses to count flashed through Tommy’s mind. This man was going to kill him, there was no denying that. No denying that Tommy had been stupid. That mantra had gotten him through the night, sure, but it wasn’t true, and now he was going to die.
In the forest, he didn't know what was coming to kill him. Now, though, he knew it would be this man, with his soft cloak and softer eyes, Tommy wasn’t so afraid.
Might as well encourage him to make it quick.
“Because I know where you live, you rebel fuck,” he spat. “I know exactly where we are.”

Oh my god ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
I haven't found a fic to add to my ‘absolute bestest of bests’ collection in a while but this one is it
This is the one
The healing, the secrets, the one step forward two steps back, the progress, the regression, it was just so amazing I havnt felt this absorbed in a story in forever
Brief recap:
- Tommy is an avian with his hybrid features removed from his old orphanage
- he joined the army but two years later tried running away
- got stuck in a snare/bear trap and was found by Phil
- Phil’s basically went ‘I can’t let a child fight in the war’ and then just kept Tommy
- lots of highs and lows and progress and regression and then no main character death with a perfect happy and hopeful ending
- this is one of the most perfect fics ever like ?? -

Summary
Tommy leaves The Dream Team the same way he left Sam’s workshop and the same way he left his mom. With love and promises to call, and the knowledge that they can’t come to help. They’re too important to the war effort. But he has the contacts of a hundred Human criminals memorized forwards and backward. He’ll be okay.
Probably.
In the end, it's frighteningly easy to sneak aboard The Angel of Death. It probably wouldn’t be if Tommy didn’t have the teachers and family he does, so he’ll give them a pass this time. Once he’s integrated, though, he’s going to give their security a massive overhaul because he is a little insulted at how effortlessly he got in.

This fic was recommended to me and is what I consider a hidden treasure, would have never found it on my own no matter how hard I looked
Loved this fic through and through
The world building and creation of humanity’s history is just so cool
Brief recap:
- humanity claims themselves a rat, dog, or raven in order to hide in plain sight amongst the other space faring races
- Tommy’s mom is humanities chosen ambassador and to keep Tommy safe she sends him off to live with Sam
- later on Tommy joins the dream team as a pirate
- Tommy’s mom asks Tommy to be a ship rat on The Angle of Death
- he stays for two years before making his way back home to dream
- at the end Tommy comes to rescue The Angel of Death because they’re as much family as any other human
