Depending on his verse, Tyson’s living situation and home may change to suit his needs in that universe.
His usual London apartment suits his typically needs in that there is - just - enough space and it’s enclosed enough that Tyson feels safe. It’s a space where Tyson knows every inch and can see the majority of the apartment from the main room. It’s comfortable and cozy, protected by the Moriarty Mirrors, and in a city he loves. It’s easy to call home for any iterations of Tyson at any point in his timeline.
Tyson’s Army!Verse home is a very different story. It’s large open spaces that flow from one to another, more distance from the city and full of natural light. It’s a home that suits Tyson when he’s recovering (Veteran AU/Chicago!Verse), where he needs more space (HDM AU), or where Sebastian needs Tyson under his thumb (Kitten!Verse). This is also the house that main!verse Tyson owned before he abandoned the army.
The homes away from home are less personal, more suited to verses where Tyson is bouncing between different places constantly - UA India/Earth!Verse - but there are niches that certain ones fulfil:
- Blue Ridges Mountains Home is different enough from Army!Verse home to separate Cat!Verse Tyson from The Colonel, whilst still being open enough to prevent him from feeling trapped.
- Pontic Mountains Home is perfect for Redemption!Verse, where Tyson needs room for three dogs (Lily, Bobby, & Jack), a cat (Felix), his nephew (James), and James’ nanny (Charlie).
Tyson rarely wants to return to living in the Delaney family manor, but for Teacher!Verse, it was the best option for him.
