That was Philâs first thought upon opening his front doorâthat the kid on his front porch was so small. Too small for the warnings heaped upon Phil by the state, warnings of wild magic and dangerous words, of the treachery and trickery that came hand in hand with the legends of the fae. Phil had known many fae over the course of his lifetime, both kind and cruel. The kid on the front porch just looked like a kid.

If I Lie (Maybe I'll Believe It) by weepingvirtue
At sixteen years old, Tommy knew so many things.
He knew that people were predictable and selfish. He knew not to trust, not to take, and not to get comfortable for too long. He knew that the concept of family was as fake as the highlights in his foster mother's hair.
Tommy had known for years that life was painful and had no extra love for some ratty foster kid like him. He knew that it was him and his copy of The Odyssey against the whole world. He knew that he only had to survive long enough to make it to his eighteenth birthday before he could escape.
But when Tommy ends up fostered in the Watson household completely by chance, he finds that maybe he never knew anything in the first place.
or, the one in which Tommy Innit has never really experienced love, family, or belonging, and is suddenly surrounded by it all at once.

"It's getting there," Tommy continues, sob caught in his throat.
"Getting where, Toms?" Wilbur asks. He feels like heâs missed the middle part- he missed the journey between point A and point B. How did they get here?Â
"Getting to be too much."Â
or, Tommy needs and Wilbur provides.

Wilbur smiles. "Go on, Ash, don't you love Tommy?"
"I do," he answers immediately. Tommy wants to melt away and die.
"Well, go ahead, make him tell you so."
or, Tommy has trouble taking love when it's given- Wilbur helps him fix that.
