Summary
“Well…” Ranboo started slowly, “You see, uh… I kinda… don’t have a house anymore, obviously. Um… Phil found me in—“ He paused, cutting himself off and squinting at the floorboards— very discreet, “Phil… found me. And… um… He said I could stay by you guys. Like, um, by the dog house he wants to build?” He paused, then began to ramble, “But, uh, if you don’t want me here, I understand— and I’m sorry for coming in your house when you weren’t here, I swear I didn’t touch anything— it was just cold outside and—“
Techno just stared at him. And how, how was this the second time this had happened to him? How was this the second time he returned home after battle to discover an injured teenage boy waiting for him, seeking assistance with nowhere to go? And how badly had that ended last time, in nothing but betrayal and insults?

AKA: Phil drags a half-enderman home after Doomsday, and Techno decides that they can keep it. For now.

Summary
“I’m not giving up,” Tommy muttered after a minute.Sapnap stared at this boy who’d taken a liking to him for some reason and who, though he hated it, he was taking a liking to back. And for the first time in ages, he felt… responsible… for this kid’s safety. For his life. He should ask him for that compass Dream gave him and smash it so he wouldn’t be able to meet him.
But he also sympathized. Because he knew that stubbornness Tommy had, because he, himself, felt it. And if he were in Tommy’s position, he’d be doing the same.
He couldn’t stop him. Hell, Sapnap was tired of Dream winning too.
But that didn’t mean he couldn’t help.
“Well,” Sapnap decided after a moment, turning away, “Sounds like you need some different training.”
AKA: Tommy and Sapnap (begrudgingly) bond in the wake of the Doomsday War, and when threats from Dream arise yet again, Sapnap decides he probably shouldn't just let these kids die, or whatever.
Note: This is a spiritual successor to a previous fic of mine titled "Sojourn," but is not directly related. You do not have to have read Sojourn in order to read this!
