''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29432865 How to Sex Vol. 4-58]]'' is an AlternateUniverseFic of the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'' by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Goldenrayofsunshine/pseuds/Goldenrayofsunshine Goldenrayofsunshine]]. It explores [[WhatIf a situation where]] Punz doesn't bring in the rest of the server to save Tommy and Tubbo from Dream, which results in Tubbo being killed and Tommy being locked up in Pandora's Vault. Obviously, this causes [[HatesBeingAlone Tommy]] to go through a lot of SanitySlippage while in captivity.
[[DeceptivelySillyTitle Contrary to what the title would indicate]], the fic is completely SafeForWork, and ''not'' a CrackFic (though it may look like it on the surface). Instead, it's an exploration of Tommy's deteriorating mental state, his traumatic past, and his experience of Pandora's Vault.
----
!!''How to Sex Vol. 4-58'' contains examples of:
* AllWomenLoveShoes: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]].
-->''"Where did my shoe go? If Dream stole it I will be mad. Women love shoes. If girls see me like this they will say ''L''. Dream has no shoe game. He is wearing fake Yeezys."''
* AlternateUniverse: The fic is set in a canon-divergent universe where Punz and the rest of TheCavalry do not save Tommy and Tubbo from Dream.
* AmbiguousSituation: While describing the prison cell, Tommy claims that there is "Blood. blood. Blood. So much fucking blood". It is unknown whether the blood is a result of him hallucinating or if it was Dream [[WouldHurtAChild hurting him even more]] in prison. Knowing Dream, we wouldn't put it past him to do so.
-->'''Ochokinode:''' It honestly makes me wonder if Tommy is hallucinating the blood or not? Like, he could be easily hallucinating it, but at the same time it could also totally be real, and that uncertainty is SO FUCKING GOOD.
* TheBadGuyWins: The fanfic takes place in an AU where Dream wins and gets what he wants at the end of Season 2.
* {{Bathos}}: The fic practically runs on this, with angsty and funny elements alternating practically every other line. Of course, this is mainly to reflect on Tommy's thought patterns in canon, because even with all the trauma and despair, it's still [=TommyInnit=], after all.
* BreadEggsMilkSquick:
-->''"Here is a list of things I can see: Lava. Piss Cauldron. Chest. IMPORTANT book. wall. floor. ceiling. Blood. blood. Blood. So much fucking blood. Big man. Lectern."''
* CallBack: The entire fic is filled to the brim with these, which include the "Your Tubbo" compass Ghostbur gave Tommy while in Exile, the whole "Calm yourself, have a carrot" saying that prompted Ghostbur to adopt it as his catchphrase with certain alterations, and many, ''many'' of the traumatic events he had experienced up to that point.
* CannotTalkToWomen: Being canonically this, Tommy finds that "[a]ll women are strange".
* CasualKink: Either {{discussed|Trope}} or {{conversed|Trope}} when Tommy notes that Sam, the warden of the prison, is "a Man in Uniform".
-->''"Women are attracted to uniforms and I think that is strange."''
* CloudCuckooLander: While some of Tommy's strange views on the world can be explained by [[SanitySlippage his traumatic past]], a ''lot'' of it is just Tommy being Tommy.
-->''"For sex, you need a bed, a door, a roof, and either three bread or six beetroot in your inventory."''
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: At the point in time Tommy writes this, he is surprisingly nonchalant about his own mental health issues and the trauma he has experienced.
* DeceptivelySillyTitle: Despite supposedly being a series of novels on [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin how to have sex]] and be in relationships with women, it covers a lot more than that… specifically, a teenager having an extensive breakdown.
-->'''totallynotbaku:''' HOW THE FUCK DID YOU MANAGE TO MAKE "HOW TO SEX" ANGSTY
* DespairEventHorizon: It is evident that Tommy has basically been driven to this stage before the fic even started, the fic simply explores his mental state after having crossed the DEH.
* {{Determinator}}: Despite Tommy's horrible situation and fragile mental state, he's absolutely determined not to let Dream break him.
-->''"Dream locked me up in jail. And he took away my friends. And all the women. And my snapchat. [[HatesBeingAlone I am clingy.]] So he thinks I will break into a million pieces. But I have books to write."''
* DrivenToSuicide: Tommy briefly mentions his aborted suicide attempt on top of the cobblestone tower in Logstedshire in canon.
-->''"Sex is when you build a big tower all the way up to the clouds, and then say Fuck This."''
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: {{Implied|Trope}}. Tommy mentions that he was in "solitary confinement" and judging by his description of the prison cell he was held in, it's likely in the maximum security cell. With Tommy [[HatesBeingAlone hating being alone]], having pre-existing mental health problems before stepping foot into the prison, ''and'' having witnessed his HeterosexualLifePartner getting brutally murdered in front of him, it's no surprise that his mental health is less than stellar.
* ItMakesSenseInContext: A lot of the content of the volumes only really make sense with either knowledge of certain tidbits of the Dream SMP, or the ability to follow Tommy's mind in jumping from one topic to another by association alone.
* KarmaHoudini: It's heavily {{implied|Trope}} that Dream gets away with his crimes against the members of the SMP in this AU.
* MetaphoricallyTrue: One of the lines in the summary and in the fic classifies as this -- specifically, "Put your armor in the hole. Could be a way to say. Use protection." When you think about it, armour is a form of combat gear used for protection, while contraceptives like condoms, aka "protection", ought to be worn while having sex, i.e. putting various body parts into holes in the body.
* MoodWhiplash: Due to the sheer amount of {{Bathos}}, this has occurred several times, most notably:
-->''"Dream should be in prison, not me. He cheated on his speedrun. Also he is a child murderer."''
* NonIndicativeTitle: Despite the title, the work is perfectly safe for work if you don't overthink a certain line.
* SanitySlippage: The fic details Tommy going through this while being held in captivity. The summary of the fanfic even claims as such:
-->''"Tommy's Mental Decline in Captivity, told through his own Magnum Opus."''
* StockholmSyndrome: Tommy makes a [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror disturbingly nonchalant reference]] towards how Dream caused him to develop this while in Exile.
-->''"You can make someone be your friend if you take them away from everybody else and lock them up and make them feel helpless. If you are the only one who talks to them or feeds them.\\
(That is also not how you get girls)."''
* TeenPregnancy: Briefly [[DiscussedTrope mentioned]] in the fic.
-->''"If you have a baby you don't want you should leave it by the side of the road. That is called a teenage pregnancy."''
* ThatLiarLies: Tommy accuses Dream of being "a big liar" at one point.
* TragicBromance: Even as of the point in time this is written in-universe, Tommy is still grieving for Tubbo and clearly misses him.
* TraumaButton: In the narration, Tommy very notably strays whenever covering topics related to his TraumaCongaLine, and by straying, we mean either straying away from the topic or going into a tad too much detail about it. Examples include holes, ([[ImpliedTrope possibly]]) buttons, the Final Control Room, suicide, other aspects of his Exile, the Disc War finale (which went [[TheBadGuyWins badly]] in the AU) and his best friend's murder during it, etc.
-->''"I will escape like an action hero with [[StuffBlowingUp explosions and shit]]. explode - hnnnn. Blow a big hole in the wall of…. I do not like holes."''\\
''[...]''\\
''"Beets are like potatoes because they get buried in the ground. [[TragicBromance Like…]]"''
* TraumaCongaLine: In this AU, Tommy had to endure ''everything'' he went through in the first 2 canonical seasons, which is a lot in itself, and now add [[ForcedToWatch having to watch]] his best friend get killed in front of him ''and'' being sentenced to a prison filled to the brim with all of his triggers ''indefinitely'' to the list. ''Man.''
* WarIsHell: Tommy's exceptionally long TraumaCongaLine contains elements of this, with the fic mentioning his trauma from the Final Control Room betrayal-massacre and possibly his duel against Dream for L'Manberg's independence. What makes this worse is that Tommy was canonically [[ChildSoldiers about 16, or at least a minor, when he fought in the war]].
-->''"I pressed a button once and then [[LuredIntoATrap terrible things happened]]. Men came out of the walls."''
* WouldHurtAChild: Dream has subjected both Tommy and Tubbo to horrible abuse. Lots of emphasis is placed on him killing Tubbo, who was 17 years old at the time. Several lines also indicate that he heavily mistreats Tommy (aged 16, possibly 17), as Tommy describes the cell as being covered in blood, has no food other than potatoes and no company other than Dream, and even describes Dream physically abusing him.
-->''"He stepped on me and it hurt. But that does not mean he is not a Loser."''
