Summary
The story of two tired twin Gods, a story of an enderman mortal, Death's Angel and why humanity may be so flawed, yet so beautiful. That everyone is worth saving, and everyone is worth second chances. A story about mortals and what it means to be alive and living. The story is told by all who are willing to listen shared over campfires and children whispering the ghost stories of deities who some say are hiding in the woods, and others say they are gone forever.
This is that story.

“Tubbo— you can’t— you know, you know how this will end. The same way that it always ends.”
“Yes. It will.”
“You will forget.”
“Yes. I will.”
“And you will hate yourself for ever letting yourself get close.”
“Yes. I will.”

Summary
“I do not care what happens to me,” Techno managed. “Not if that comes at the cost of them being safe.”
Hermes tilted his head to the side. “You’ve been corrupted.”
“Perhaps.” Techno mused, crossing his arms. “Have you not had enough of the typical story? Of a Greek tragedy? For once, can’t everyone live? For once, can’t the Gods be merciful and the mortals kind? For once, can you let a hero be happy?”
---
Technoblade is really just trying to find his way through a word where he is a Greek hero. With Ranboo by his side, and Zephyrus guiding him. Everything in his life is going well. It's a peaceful-ish, existence, but he's okay with that. Until, a little town called L'Manberg and some of their inhabitants decide they want their leaders back.

Summary
Ranboo.
Any words Tubbo had died.
What else could he say to him? That this was all for him? That Ranboo’s death had ripped him up inside and spat him out? That he’d never be the same, that he was supposed to return for Michael? That he was supposed to bring Ranboo back? What else could Tubbo say? Apart from looking at Ranboo like he was everything… and in some way he was. Ranboo was the reason to fight, and the reason Tubbo eventually fractured into a broken shell of what he’d once been.
“Ranboo,” Tubbo whispered. It was not enough, it would never be enough.

Alright? He is pale, that's because he doesn't go outside much. He wears dark clothes because he thinks he looks good in them. And he’s right.
But that does not explain, at all, why he is sitting at a table, surrounded by people that he thinks are actual vampires.
