Ship wars aside, if you're hunting for TomTord sins in the 'Eddsworld' fandom, you're basically talking about Archive of Our Own and Tumblr. AO3's tag system is unbeatable for filtering – you can go straight for 'Tom/Tord (Eddsworld)', sort by kudos or date, and then dive into the 'Dead Dove: Do Not Eat' or 'Dark' tags if that's your specific flavor. I've found most of the truly twisted, psychologically messed-up dynamics live there.
Wattpad has some, but quality varies wildly; it's more for the soap-opera-style betrayal and flashy drama, less for the slow-burn psychological decay. A surprising amount of good stuff gets cross-posted from Tumblr threads to AO3 anyway, so I'd start there. Just be prepared to wade through a lot of tooth-rotting fluff to find the real dark gems – the pairing attracts both extremes.

Finding a proper home for that particular dynamic really depends on where you're hunting. A lot of older fansites and dedicated 'Eddsworld' hubs have archives, but they're often scattered and not updated anymore. The real action moved to Archive of Our Own ages ago.
Searching 'tomtord' there yields a solid chunk of work, though you've gotta filter carefully—sometimes it's background or implied rather than the main event. The tagging is generally good, so sorting by kudos helps find the standout pieces. Just don't get your hopes up for a massive, constantly updating archive; it's more of a niche within a niche, but the quality of what's there can be surprisingly sharp.
I stumbled on a few gems on Tumblr years back, but those links are probably dead now. Honestly, AO3 is your most reliable bet for anything readable and complete.

Not a ton of central spots for that exact crossover, honestly. A lot of it's scattered. Archive of Our Own is obviously huge, and you can filter by fandom for 'Ed, Edd n Eddy' and then sort by relationships or characters to find Tord/Ed pairings. It's a little messy because the tagging for that show isn't as massive as for something like 'Harry Potter', but the works are there if you dig.
Surprisingly, I've seen a decent chunk pop up on FanFiction.net under the Cartoon Crossovers section. The search function is clunky, but putting 'Tord' and 'Ed' in the title search sometimes yields results. They tend to be older, from the early 2000s forum era, and the writing style reflects that.
Wattpad is hit or miss; the algorithm pushes certain things, and this niche crossover might get buried under more popular 'Edd x Marie' stuff. You really have to use specific tags like #tordedd or #tordxed. Tumblr's good for finding links and recs from blogs dedicated to the 'Ed, Edd n Eddy' fandom, even if the stories are hosted elsewhere. Feels like a scavenger hunt more than anything.

This is probably a question about a super niche thing if you're not deep into the 'Eddsworld' fandom! TomTord as a ship really exploded around the 2010s fanfiction scene, especially on DeviantArt and early Tumblr. The main conflict always felt like it was built from their baseline dynamic in the series: Tom's chaotic, jealous, and possessive energy clashing with Tord's calculated, manipulative, and often emotionally detached leadership.
A lot of fics I remember framed it as a power struggle. Who's really in control? Tord with his plans and red army, or Tom with his unpredictable temper and deep-seated resentment? That tension got romanticized into classic enemies-to-lovers stuff, but the 'enemies' part was never far from the surface even in fluffier AUs. I saw tons of stories where the conflict was internal for Tom—loving someone he's supposed to hate, dealing with the betrayal after the whole 'Tord leaves' arc from the cartoon.
There was also a huge wave of angsty 'dark' fics exploring abuse dynamics, which was... a whole thing in that era of fanworks. Not my personal preference, but it definitely existed as a major conflict type.
I think the fanon interpretation of Tord's character made the conflict less about physical fights and more about psychological games, which made for some interesting if often melodramatic reads.

Writers going for Tomtord redemption arcs often have to walk a very fine line, don't they? You've got Tom, the brutal, power-hungry wizard, and Voldemort, who is basically the personification of evil in that universe. Having either of them come around feels like it requires bending canon so far it snaps. I've seen a few that make it work by leaning hard into the 'Tom before he became Voldemort' angle, framing it as a desperate, last-minute snatching of a soul from the brink. The 'Harry raised by Death' trope sometimes gets spliced in, where Death itself intervenes and forces a kind of penance. But honestly, most of the time it just ends up feeling like a massive character assassination—Tom Riddle losing his cunning or Voldemort developing a conscience always rings hollow to me, like the writer just really wanted a happy ending for their problematic fave.
That said, I did read one recently that stuck with me, a crossover with 'Good Omens' of all things. It was a crack premise taken seriously: Aziraphale and Crowley accidentally adopt a wraith-like Tom Riddle post-Battle of Hogwarts and spend centuries trying to teach him empathy through baked goods and vintage records. It was so absurd it looped back around to being kinda profound? The redemption came from sheer, stubborn exposure to mundane kindness over an immortal timeframe, not some magical fix. It felt earned because it took literal eons, not a few chapters. More fics should consider that scale, I think.
