#fae!tommy

Finally had an idea for this one!!!!!

Peonies and apologies

In the depths of the enchanted forest, down by the waters edge, the peonies grow. A reminder of broken promises, and forgotten dreams. A ring of mushrooms lays at its centre.

A cracked compass lies amongst the petals always pointing north. Inscribed on the worn edges in gentle spiralling swirls of gold, are the words: ‘Your Tubbo’

In the far off lands of Snowchester, a small spritely fae with hair as blonde as the sun and no memories of his own, watches a boy mutter apology after apology to something hugged tightly to his chest. His sorrows drowned out by the howling of the cold winter air.

The fae does not know why he was drawn to this place, only that when he had emerged from the ring, that he was pulled north and brought to this boy…

I am so so so so so happy this popped into my head! I was legit almost ready to say no ideas for this and then BOOM! Idea!

-K

I am good- and yes I have drank water.... As for headcannons- I might as well post this one au I've had in mind for awhile

Puffy (aunt), Dream (brother), Quackity (brother), and Tubbo(brother) are humans with the youngest being Tommy- extended family Sneeg and Scott (uncles/cousins)

Phil (dad), Techno (brother), Wilbur (brother), and Niki (cousin) are fae with the youngest being Ranboo- extended family being Sapnap (cousin) (who's dating a fairy named Karl)

Now for the actual au-

When Ranboo was a baby- before he was even a year old- a fae came and kidnapped him, and left him abandoned in the woods

At the same time those same trickster fae kidnapped little baby fairy Tommy and used enchantments to make him look like a human baby, and replaced him in the nursery where they had taken Ranboo- without the humans even knowing this happened, so they were tricked into raising a fairy like a human (changeling-)

The fairy family that Tommy was taken from, did notice their youngest being kidnapped- but they were too late. They went out into the woods to try and find him, but instead all they could find was baby Ranboo left alone in the woods- so Philza (the oldest in the family) decided to shrink the baby down to fae size, and they would raise it as their own

So basically- Ranboo is raised with the sbi as a fae, and Tommy is with Dream and Tubbo (this made up family dynamic that I came up with-) as a human- Tommy is not a human, and Ranboo is not a fairy

While Phil raises Ranboo, every morning he redoes the spell to make sure Ranboo doesn't grow back to human size (and when Ranboo is old enough to ask- he's just told he has a sickness and this spell is a daily medicine for it- and Phil boops his nose and casts it, and avoids telling Ranboo the truth for another day-) and Phil has a mask and pair of glasses for Ranboo to wear when they're around other fae so nobody will realize that Ranboo doesn't look like a fairy-

When Tommy is around the age of 16 (that age range-) he goes into the woods- and meets a fae- or at least they both think they're a fae(?)

Tommy meets Ranboo- someone who he thinks is a shrunken human at first but Ranboo explains he's just a fairy

Ranboo and Tommy become friends and Ranboo becomes curious about humans- and Tommy is curious about fae

Because of this, Tommy introduces Ranboo to his family- and Ranboo keeps the secret of him sneaking off to see humans, secret from his family

After awhile, Ranboo hears some stories about changelings from he humans- mainly just some myths and legends but...m he realizes this explains alot- ("wait..... I'm the only person in my family that doesn't look like a fairy- hold on a second!")

Ranboo asks about changelings- and finally he gets his answer- he learns a bit about the baby that was taken from Phil as well, who was originally named Theseus, but probably has a different name now because of whatever humans they ended up with

Then Ranboo goes to visit Tubbo and Tommy again- but now the entire human family is freaking out as Tommy is in immense pain and transforming into something- and Ranboo realizes, he should probably get his fae family's help

Turns out- Tommy is a changeling, and the spell the fae who kidnapped him used to make him look like a human, has worn off- so now Tommy is growing fangs, wings, pointed ears, his eyes are changing color, and other things- such as shrinking

Phil is able to help Tommy to not feel as much pain during the transformation- but he can't stop it

So then while the kids are in the other room making sure Tommy is okay- everyone else gets to talking and they figure out that Ranboo and Tommy are the fae and human babies that were switched

I did it! I finally made this au!!!!!!

✨Fae Tommy✨

So this is kinda how I imagine the faes!! (I swear they look less alien like when they have more fairy features lmao)

This was more of an ideas doodle but my design of them only added less natural skin tones (which is why Tommy has a darker peach tone to his skin, though it’s more obvious with faes like Phil, who I imagine to be a light pastel green tone) and I wanted to give them tattoo like marks across their faces and forearms (which is more obvious in the next drawing I’m doing) which match their eye colors and antenna, claws, and ear tints, along with a slight blush that matches their natural hair color. Also I didn’t have the heart to take away Tommy’s signature t-shirt or the patience to draw wings atm. But they still have the antenna, wings, fangs, black irises, and claws.

But yeah!! I hope you like it cause the Changeling AU is so good I had to draw something for it!

WOOOOOAAAAHHH!!!!! LOOK AT HIM LOOK AT TOMMY I LOVE HIM THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

How do the initial reactions to everyone go while Tommy be transforming?

Also congratulations! Your being claimed

Do not resist :)

Well-

Puffy and Dream are worried and scared for Tommy, they stay by his side the entire time and try to make sure he isn't in too much pain- each convulsion they make sure to move him so that he doesn't choke on anything (like blood-), and they make sure to keep his very fragile wings safe

Quackity is a little grossed out and terrified- there's alot of blood and his baby brother is in so much pain- when Tommy's wings come out he throws up and then has to stay out of the room... But he stays nearby go make sure Tommy will be okay

Tubbo is scared and really worried, he doesn't like how much pain Tommy is in and wishes he could help- but Puffy and Dream lock him out of the room because he's too young-

Sneeg and Scott are very worried by their sent out to get medicine and bandages for Tommy, so they don't know the amount of pain he has to go through for most of it

(also- geeze- are you kidnapping me? Am I being kidnapped again?)

Well- even if Tommy's like an actual fae now, he doesn't want to leave his family, even if he wasn't born into this human family- so Phil and the rest of the fae familiy agree to come and visit the humans, not just to get to know them, but to teach Tommy about magic (so he doesn't accidentally fuck something up) and to allow Ranboo some time with his biological family and let Ranboo learn more about humans

The families become a bit more integrated after that- (especially with Niki and Puffy getting attached, and Sapnap Karl and Quackity start to date a little)

They do use the size spell on themselves sometimes, but it's not often since they don't have to

And although Ranboo does enjoy spending time with his human family at a human size- he does prefer to be fae sized

And yes- Tommy does visit the forest often, usually with Ranboo since Tommy doesn't know his way around- but he does go and visit his fae family alot

And how did Phils family feel, finally finding the son/brother they had lost so long ago? Its been so long, do they love him just as much as Ranboo?

Mhm-

There would be many tears, Puffy's family would apologise to Ranboo emensly about loosing him as a baby- but Ranboo explains that it's okay and it's not their fault

The human family then tries to bond with Ranboo a little more, but it does make Tommy a little jealous and sad (he thinks they're going to abandon him since he's a fae-), so the family then has to reasure Tommy that everything is okay and they still love him

And once the fae family finds Tommy... They're crying. They missed their Theseus so much, even if he has a different name now. They hug Tommy and they're ready to love him the way they always wished they could- and yes, they do live Tommy and Ranboo equally

How does Tommy and his family react when he started shrinking? Like you got wings and all of those weird thing happen to your body and just “fuck I’m getting small”

Well their reaction to the shrinking is more mild then their reaction to the rest of the transformation- because the fae family showed up to help before the shrinking started

Everyone was also a bit more calm since the shrinking didn't start until the rest of the transformation was over, so there was a few minutes where nothing happened and the fae family was about to tell the humans all that was going to happen to Tommy, so everyone was actually prepared for the shrinking-

It was just weird for them to watch and they all became even more protectivive over Tommy as they saw him getting smaller, because they know Tommy can't protect himself small (they know the fae can because they've been small all their lives but Tommy can't because he's just now shrinking for the first time) and they all want to hold him and keep him as safe as possible
