❝ how does your garden grow? ❞
You were built by friendships and kindness
Founded on an idea of safety (and destroyed by their blindness)
Thrice, the ground you stood on was broken
Twice, the people who made you were at fault for it
Your symphony is unfinished
Your legacy is incorrect
You were full of laughter, once
That’s what people forget; they only remember the pain that took place within you
And pretend it was your fault that it happened
Maybe you’d still be here
But the people who were loyal to you were kicked out
One died to kill his grief after he killed you
The other returned after being cast away, but was unable to save you
He is remained of you when his brother plays his guitar
He is reminded of you when he makes flower crowns with his friends
He is reminded of you when he sits on a bench
He is reminded of you when he sees redwood trees
When he hears laughter
When his best friend tells him a joke
Others are reminded of you when he smiles
But that’s been such a rare sight, since you’ve been gone
On the anniversary of your first victory he brings you flowers
On the anniversary of the worst day of his life, he visits that wretched room and asks what he could’ve done better to stop it from happening
On the anniversary of your final defeat he can’t get out of bed.
People still walk along whatever earth is left under you.
There is a bridge there now.
Plants grow from the obsidian that blocks out the sun
Life persists even on the tool that was used to kill you
The people who loved you remember you well
But your story hasn’t been told by them
It’s been told by the ones responsible for your downfall
And the ones who never held you close at all
History is told by the winner, not the one in the right
And your story is told by people who did not know you
And it is told wrong
goodbye, l’manberg. you were never a good idea to begin with, but at least you tried.

Here are some SBI fics i’ve read on AO3 I thought I would share :). Some are one-shots, series, longer fics a mix of the sort. As well as a mix of different tropes. SOME ARE DARK SBI FICS SO PLEASE READ THE TAGS AND TW’s. As well as some might be crime boys, bedrock duo, etc. This is just all the fics i’ve read throughout 2022 so I’d thought i’d give recs for anyone who needs them! Anyways enjoy :). I will add more as the days go on but here are some from my list! :)
You Can’t Spell Student Government Without Three Letters From Stupid by leafcabbage: This is a Ranboo-Centric fic that features bench trio. I believe there are different POV’s and I know it isn’t just an SBI fic but I thought I would list it. This is the first fic apart of the series it’s in. This was honestly one of the best fics i’ve ever read. It talks a lot about struggling with mental illnesses and the stressors of being an overworked college student and it immediately draws you in. It is a long fic but i highly recommend. (Completed)
Might As Well Be Dead by Timeskip_God: This one is Tommy-Centric and features a lot of dark themes so pay attention to the warnings. Features Eburnean Tommy AU as well as SBI. I believe it takes place in the DSMP universe but i could be wrong. This one might be a tear jerker so watch out. Overall I love this fic and it was definitely a good one. 10/10 (Completed)
A Very Odd Family Indeed by Opheliabloo: This one I believe is multiple perspectives or it may just be Philza-Centric. It talks about how Philza finds children and says you’re mine now :). Has angst with happy ending so very good. (completed)
Little Flower by Peb_ble_sto_ne: Okay you better strap in because this one hurt. This is a one shot but it includes HEAVY angst. Switches from multiple POV’s. Tommy battles with depression while his brothers try to fix their broken relationship. This one is so sad but is so good. (completed)
That’s My Kid, My Sunrise by Spooky_mateo: Apocalypse AU with kid Shroud the Spider. Tommy-Centric. Tommy tried to keep his kid safe and finds something that was missing found along the way. Very Very good! (completed).
