Bet on the Crown AU

It’s finally here!!

Ok, so, there’s a few things I’m changing but the basic idea and start of this au starts with how @aslitheryprinx said it does (the inspiration for this au is a fake fic title on xir blog). The main difference from what they mentioned is that Tommy is actually a king, not a prince. Also, I took the “weapon” bit really literally, so now Phil is a Soul Eater style knife.

Tommy is king of a wealthy kingdom called L’manburg that is recovering from a war that happened when Tommy was a little boy. His parents died in the war, which led to him being crowned king at a very young age. Technoblade, the kindom’s leading general and a close ally of the previous king’s, decides to raise Tommy to be a good ruler, and becomes Tommy’s older brother figure, even if he may not be the most emotionally driven person. All the matters to him is that Tommy is safe, and Tommy knows how much Techno loves him even if Techno doesn’t show it well. However, even though his kingdom won the war, there is still a constant fear that the kingdom that stated the first war, Essempi, will attack again and destroy them, since their leader, Dream, has partnered with other powerful countries since then, renaming his country “The Greater Essempi.”

Which is why Tommy goes to trade land for a legendary weapon, an ancient dagger that is said to kill anyone who’s blood is drawn by its blade. Tommy is deathly scared of Dream, knowing that Dream killed his parents, and wants the dagger to protect himself.

What he doesn’t expect is that the “dagger” is actually a tiny ancient cursed angel.

Tommy ends up making the trade and taking Philza back to his country after not only realizing that he is the legendary dagger, but that Phil is a person, and deserves to be treated as one.

Once they get home, Tommy explains to Phil that he can see how poorly he was treated with his last “owners” and plans to treat him better, even offering to let him leave if he really wanted to. Phil, after the initial panic of the new situation dissipates, explains that the legends about the dagger are true, and he was cursed to be able to transform into a dagger at will. He tells Tommy his history and explains that his wife is the Goddess of Death and his son is a Demigod, and that the latter is still on earth somewhere. Him and Tommy work out some agreements: Phil will allow himself to be used to protect Tommy when Techno can’t, and Tommy will use his connections as a king to try to help Phil find his son.

Now Tommy is slowly starting to see Phil as a father figure, and is worried about what will happen when Phil finds his son and abandons Tommy. And Phil is starting to care more and more about Tommy because of how much he reminds him of his son, and doesn’t know how to choose between wanting to leave and find his kid and wanting to stay and help raise Tommy.
