Summary
“I would nuke someone for you,” Tubbo says plainly with all the confidence in the world. Because he has. He’s done it before and he would do it again in an instant — a thousand times over.
It strikes him with a sudden gripping fury. He needs Ranboo to know. He needs Ranboo to know it like Tubbo knows it, deep and intrinsic. Utter truth.
“That’s… nice?” Ranboo says, hesitant, cautious, nervous.
“Your face is nice,” Tubbo spits, because that’s also the truth.
“Thank you?” Ranboo’s voice pitches up into incredulity.
Ranboo doesn’t get it. And Tubbo desperately tries to convince himself that that’s alright. He will soon. It’s a work in progress.

Modern Setting Reincarnation AU: With the server reset impending, Tubbo made a Deal With The Drista. Now, Tubbo is the only one in the new world who remembers their past life and the events of the Dream SMP, and he's on a mission to reunite with all the people who don't remember him. This time, he will protect them.

Summary
“So then what’d you get?” Tommy interrupts, pulling Tubbo’s focus back into the moment.
Maybe it’s the vulnerability penning him in on either side, the easy way Ranboo slumps into him and trusts Tubbo to hold his weight, or the way Tommy grins and asks question after question like he can’t even imagine being ignored or denied. The deep trust and simple kindness seep into him like an infectious, terminal disease — that’s what he’ll blame it on when his brain is more than a soft mush of warm and alive.
Tubbo smiles bitter-sweet and utters, “I got to keep my memories.”

After the server reset, everything changed. Everything except Tubbo, that is.
(Sequel to "standing at a lightswitch". Can be read as a stand-alone if you're bold and have a vendetta against context.)
