Could you do the dream smp (separately) realizing that their child is just really smart? It could be like they're a prodigy in a particular subject or they're just really smart in general. Can you also include these characters: (and any more you want to add) Wilbur, Dream, Tommy, Eret, Techno, and Ranboo. Ty in advance if you decide to do this!
Smartest in the Room
Pairings: Parental! Wilbur, Dream, Tommy, Eret, Technoblade, and Ranboo x F! Child! Reader
Warnings: None :)
A/N: (F/L) means the first letter of your first name.
---------------------------
Eret
(Y/N) was young when she started studying the politics of the SMP and L'Manberg.
Naturally, she picked up on it with ease and rather mature with issues that arose.
Eret was very proud of her when she asked to sit and listen to the meetings to understand them even better.
There had even been a few times that (Y/N) could hold her own in a debate despite being ten years old.
"That does not justify your acts in this courtroom!" (Y/N) argued with Big Law, Eret sweating slightly as he had taken her to a case going on today for broken laws in L'Manberg.
"It does I'm a lawyer! You shouldn't even be here!"
"Name a law I don't know!" (Y/N) challenged.
---
"Yes, he did take your things first." (Y/N) stuck out her tongue slightly trying to balance in heels, Tommy crossing his arms as he watched her. "But you stealing in a return is still a wrong action and punishable. It will simply mean nobody wins."
Eret was very proud to see his little girl prosper and knew she'd only excel further when he came into her room to find her writing in a book.
"What are you doing princess?"
She looked up and smiled, showing him the book. "My policies when I can finally run for president."
Yeah, he was very proud of his kid. He wouldn't be surprised when she finally would manage to become president of L'Manberg.
---------------------------
Dream
(Y/N) was all-around smart and Dream knew it every day.
She could come up with excellent tactics and be quick to change them if need be when she played Manhunt with Dream, Sapnap, and George.
She could read some pretty advanced books and understand them with little difficulty.
She also learned how to be a pretty good liar with the help of her friends but Dream didn't know that one.
She learned a lot of different things and worked to master them every day.
Though, the thing she took the most pride in was her swordsmanship. She wanted to be just her father.
George screamed as he fell and (Y/N) pointed her sword tip to his neck, taking quick breaths. Sapnap laughed at George as (Y/N) grinned taking the sword away and helping George up. As she did, she looked up at the sound of clapping, grinning wider as she saw Dream, home early.
"You're pretty good, sweetheart. Why don't we go against each other?" Dream offered to her.
Dream was very proud to see her hold her own for a while against him and knew she'd one day become the master.
---------------------------
Ranboo
It was a surprise to Ranboo when (Y/N) excelled in reading and writing.
She could read rather fast and could comprehend what she just read.
Her calligraphy was also rather elegant for someone so young as she often wanted to write down what happened, just like Ranboo.
"You don't need to write everything down little enderman. You remember everything." Ranboo told her as they were sitting and she was writing in her own journal.
"I know, but I want my own memory book to make sure I never forget, just like you." (Y/N) smiled and Ranbo smiled as well, gently ruffling her hair.
Ranboo didn't know about her excellent reading until Phil called him over to Techno's where Phil was currently babysitting her.
"So, Techno gave her a book." Phil started off and Ranboo nodded, frowning slightly confused.
What was so bad about a book?
"...It was the Art of War and she read all of it and Techno quizzed her on it and she got every question correct."
"WHAT?!" Ranboo exclaimed.
"Techno's making her read Greek myths now."
"Techno!" Ranboo went to go talk to the other man.
Techno had another friend at least.
---------------------------
Technoblade
Many thought that Techno's child would be the most skilled swordsman in the land.
And they'd be correct but she didn't show it off. Instead, she became just as knowledgeable as her father, with his help.
She knew just as much about things from Greek myths to The Art of War as Technoblade.
Tommy would make fun of her for being a nerd occasionally but would quickly take it back when Techno would glare over her head at him.
She wasn't as much of a fighter like Techno, even though she was practically a master at most weapons other than axes but Techno was fine to encourage her with her smarts instead.
"Why doesn't she fight? She's a Blade! You call her little blade!" Tommy questioned his brother as (Y/N) was across the room reading next to Steve.
"She doesn't need to, I got that covered," Techno told him.
---------------------------
Tommy
A lot of people are quick to dismiss (Y/N) to be just like Tommy but people underestimate both of them.
She was rather well-rounded. With the help of her father, Tubbo, and Wilbur, she was rather smart and a pretty damn good fighter.
It tended to frustrate Tommy that many people would simply brush off her smarts and he would furiously call them back.
"Hey, shithead! Listen to what my amazing kid has to say!" He called to Fundy and (Y/N) grinned.
Tommy was very proud of her and also tended to show off her smarts to others. Though she tended to act just like Tommy.
She kept what she could really do away until she actually needed to do it.
"How the hell do we do this puzzle?" Tubbo motioned to the floor in front of them as Tommy and (Y/N) were exploring temples with him.
"That's easy, like this." (Y/N) simply walked over and completed the puzzle, like it was nothing. "Done!"
"Good job little (F/L)!" Tommy grinned.
---------------------------
Wilbur
Wilbur taught (Y/N) all about music from the moment she could start remembering. He took great pride in it.
He was very delighted when she started to pick up on things and gladly taught her more when she showed actual interest in it.
He taught her to play guitar and piano and even helped her practice her vocals. She picked up on all of it so quick and he was so delighted to share his art with her.
She wasn't a master yet, but Wilbur knew his little star would be one, one day.
Wilbur hummed as he strummed his guitar, staring at his journal with lyrics inside. What could the second verse be?
"Are we playing today?" (Y/N) peeked in.
Wilbur smiled. "We can be if you want. I'm working on a new song, like to hear it?"
She nodded eagerly as she sat in front of him. He strummed before singing for her.
"I heard there was a special place, where men could go emancipate. The brutality and tyranny of their rulers. Well, this place is real you needn’t fret, with Wilbur, Tommy, Tubbo, (Y/N), fuck Eret. It's a very big and not blown up L’Manberg. My L'Manberg. My L'Manberg. My L'Manberg. My L'Manberg."
(Y/N) grinned widely as Wilbur sang before he stopped and looked at her.
"Sound good?" He asked.
"Wonderful! Is there more?"
"I need to write more little star." He chuckled. "I'm having trouble thinking up a second verse."
"Well, it's about L'Manberg, right? What...what about, for freedom and for liberty, our nation sought to build on these." She sang the words similar to how he had been singing earlier.
He grinned brightly. "I love it."
His little star was most certainly going to be talented.

SBI d&d AU: Tommy (1)
Here it is! Tommy’s pov really put the hamster inside my brain in a splendid mood, so his story is currently split into two (might be three, depending on how much more I’m willing to indulge my craving for found family dynamics). I’m probably going to post the second part in a couple of weeks (I’m trying to stick to a schedule, but uni has started again today so who knows).
Thank you all for your likes, reblogs and comments on the last post, I really appreciate them!
Also, as some of you might already know, I’ve been working on character sheets for all of them too. I’m working on the written backgrounds at the moment, but if all goes right I should post the first one next week! Who would you want to see first: Techno, Phil, Tommy or Wilbur?
[Also I should mention, there are a handful of swears, mentions of blood and a not-so-quick description of a dagger, but not as it’s being used for anything bad. Let me know if you’d like me to highlight anything specific to make it easier to skip.]
You should kneel down soon, kiddo. The voice in his head tells him. Usually one would not have voices suggesting what to do or do not, but that was the life of Tommy since he'd agreed to eat a bloody apple and suddenly gained horns and a tail. That was just something that happened to him nowadays. But again, one was not necessarily made to follow said suggestions: he usually either ignored whatever had been said or sassed back - that was just the kind of relationship he had with his patron.
I'm not a child, old man. He answered, in his mind in order to avoid Wilbur's curious glances, and only heard a distorted chuckle in response.
I'm just trying to help you out! You should, totally, profit is guaranteed! Tommy rolled his eyes, huffing out in annoyance at both his insistence and the warped voice he was currently talking in. Go figure that, of all the demons he could have made a pact with, Tommy had chosen the most annoyingly nagging one. Who even used their godlike power to change their voices to unnatural pitches?
Come on, Tommy! Trust me on this! Come oon! The dragged out "on" was extremely aggravating, but just because his patron was bored he wasn't going to amuse him. He had more important things to do, like planning out what to do once they'd reached the apparently haunted mansion in the middle of a forest they were heading towards. If one was to ask Tommy, he'd say that it was just the job of a bunch of thieves, maybe an enchanter, using the abandoned mansion as a base of operations and scaring away wandering people. Everyone had seemed to agree with his idea - hell, even Wilbur had said it had been a good hunch!
Five ... Four ... Didn't he have some other poor soul to torture? Some unlucky fellow to trick into a deal? And was the echoey voice necessary? Did he really need to sound as if he was shouting from inside a cave?
Come on kiddo- Three ... Two ... Almost there! One ...
"ALRIGHT!" Tommy yelled out, stomping his foot down in anger, flames bursting out his hands as his eyes flashed golden and - despite what his stubbornness told him - he bent down.
He hadn't even fully bent his knees when an arrow lodged itself into his hood, which was slightly raised in respect to his head due to the quickness with which he had moved.
"Ohshit-"
"Who the fuck is attacking us?" Techno asked over him, tone impassible and as monotone as always, holding another arrow just in front of his face; he seemed more bothered by the thought that someone was trying to attack them than the fact that somebody had shot an arrow at him.
You're welcome, kid. His patron quipped, finally in his normal voice, before retreating to the back of his mind as Tommy summoned energy between his hands, ready to blast into nothingness whoever had been dumb enough to try to kill him.
Tommy wakes up one morning, and the first thing he sees is the sky. This is because, since he agreed to sell his soul for instant magical powers, he has a distinctively cumbersome pair of horns, which prevent him from sleeping on his side comfortably. A small price to pay, since honestly, who even has the time to spend years studying when you can just shake hands, eat an apple and be set for life?
Since they've stopped being a couple of stubby nubs on the side of his head, he also has to wear a pair of muffs over them, in order to avoid destroying his pillow in case he moves more than an inch while he sleeps. He's gathered enough evidence of how much damage he's able to cause to last a lifetime, so he endures Techno's chuckles at his hand-knitted, sock-looking muffs - damn Wilbur for using wool, it's not like his horns ever get cold.
Anyhow. The first thing he sees, is the sky. The second thing he sees is a knife sticking out of the ground next to his head.
Tommy stares at it, figuring he's either still dreaming or his patron has gotten better at his dream-messages - on top of annoying him during the day and giving him advices once every blue moon, he also enjoys sending him extremely cryptic messages through dreams, which Tommy usually forgets by the time he's awake.
He figures it has to be a dream, because sticking out of the ground next to his head is a perfectly clean and sharpened Technoblade Dagger. Thin, sleek, made in a peculiar metal that looks completely black at all time, as if it was capable of absorbing light. Rumors say it was forged with the core of a fallen star; others say it's made of the blood of his fallen enemies which Tommy finds extremely disgusting and definitely unpractical. The handle is simple, with no added leather - Technoblade always says that leather stains easily and is more a bother than anything actually useful.
But the thing is, that's not all.
Tied to the knife is also a string of white, orange and red strings. A small onyx bead is woven inside.
Aww, look! You got yourself- the voice in his head starts, but Tommy is quick to put a stop to it.
Shut up, this is important. He states, tone firm and serious, just like he was when he demanded his pact a few years before. His patron and him joke around and annoy each other a lot, but he knows that tone, so for the next few moments everything is quiet. Around him, the only sound is of the wind, flowing through the leaves, and the crackling fire, courtesy of Phil, who is probably preparing breakfast for all if the delicious smell wafting over is any indication. Tommy hears everything and nothing around him, while all his attention is focused on 1) the token of friendship innocently sitting next to him 2) trying not to yell out at the pure joy he is feeling right now. This is approval. This is acceptance. This is the confirmation that he is, in all ways, part of this team.
I know, kid. I'm glad you found yourself some good friends.
Tommy huffs out a breath, unable to stop himself from smiling - he does not need his patron's approval, but it is still very much appreciated. The demon's helped him a lot, in his own weird demonic way.
The warlock snatches up both items and mutters an excuse as he quickly makes his way towards the river next to their camp.
The first thing he needs to do is find a good place to keep the bracelet.
The thing is, he can't keep it on his wrist. They get into too many nasty places, he is definitely *not* going to let it get soiled by dirt, blood or sewer water - Tommy also does not want to think about the sewers ever again, but that is a rather common and expected reaction. His ankle is also not a good choice, because of all the walking and trudging in the mud they do.
He's not going to keep it in his pack either, he want it close. He's sentimental about it, sue him.
Do not even start. He thinks intensely, anticipating what his patron could have said about his previous thought, but he gets no answer. Whatever. It's better that way.
His arm, he figures, could be the best choice. The bracelet seems to be long enough for him to be able to tie it around his upper arm, and that way his shirt would keep it covered constantly. Not to mention, his cloak also rests over that area. It would be safe and sound, and nobody would be none the wiser!
Tommy sits down by the river and starts working on it: he struggles a bit with actually tying the knot to keep it in place, but after a couple of minutes he's sure it will hold.
Then, satisfied with his work, he stands up and tries to throw the knife in the air and catch it. He does end up letting out a small yelp and letting it tumble to the ground, but he's sure he'll be able to pull it off in time.
"Technoblade!" He calls out loudly, coming back to the round space they decided to call a camp for a night. The thief doesn't even look up, but he does let out a questioning "hmm?" as his ears twitch up.
"Thank you for the wonderful gift! I'll use it wisely!" Tommy exclaims, pointing the dagger straight at his face. Techno turns towards him, nonplussed, and stares at him through the dagger. A moment passes, then Techno raises an eyebrow and moves the point of the blade away from his face with his index finger.
"Great. How about you start by remembering not to point it at allies?"
"Pfft, of course, of course! It was merely a display of how much I'm already able to use it! I bet I could even defeat you, now!" He declares, turning towards Phil's already ready breakfast and digging in, ignoring Techno's rebuttal of him needing to train for many more years in order to have a chance at defeating him, and most importantly Phil's amused and endeared expression.
The druid can read him too well: he already knows. For what Tommy knows, being an elf he probably has a way of seeing the bracelet under his sleeves from like, the way the material bends around it.
But as he scarfs down his food, he's already hatching a plan. Because while he wants to flaunt his newly gained social status, he does also want to keep this ... for himself. This isn't something he wants to share with the world. The fact that he went from being an annoyingly persistent kid to a friend of Technoblade is a personal success. It's just ... His.
What he can do, instead, is brag about having one of Technoblade's daggers. And what if he exaggerates a bit on how he got it? Who's going to correct him and say that it was actually just a mean to deliver to him a friendship bracelet?
Nobody, that's who.
Of course, he needs just one test to make sure it's going to work. It takes some time, but they eventually reach a small town. Wilbur takes care of securing a room for them all, and a discount in exchange for him performing.
Then, one late evening, they're waiting for their food to be delivered at their table, and Tommy is idly playing with Techno's dagger - he has now gotten extremely better at it, and can now not only flip it in air, but also balance it on the tip of his finger.
A bulky man with a coarse looking mustache brings them their dinner, and eyes Tommy as he keeps playing.
He meets his eyes, and his plan falls into place.
"Did you know, good sir, that this is one of the infamous Technoblade's daggers? My prize for besting him in a duel."
Next to him, Wilbur chokes on his beer and spits it all over his fresh loaf of bread. Phil is laughing as he pats his back, and the bartender eyes him suspiciously, apparently ticked off by his teammates's reactions.
"Is that right?"
"Absolutely! Isn't it, Techno?"
Everyone falls silent - except for Wil, who keeps coughing up beer for a while longer - and turns towards Techno, who seems startled at the sudden amount of eyes on him. This is it, the moment of truth. Everything comes down to what Techno answers now, because this could either be Tommy's best, most glorious moment, or a simply rather awkward instance. A moment passes, then-
"Absolutely." Techno's monotone voice answers, and the suspicion on the bartender's face changes to surprise, then impressed respect as he nods towards Tommy.
"Good job, kid." He says, then leaves their table, and Tommy couldn't be happier.
The game is on.
