  1. Summary

    A series of fics where I proceed to make Dream suffer because ✨angst✨

    They all have a common theme of me taking something from Dream (usually bc of prison, rip), but they’re not strictly related or part of the same universe, and can be read in any order.

    Enjoy the angst, friends! Also some comfort and some fluff because I’m not THAT mean.

    Hunter decided to do some research into Grimwalkers.

    First discovery: Grimwalkers were outlawed in every city under every rule as far back as the history books go.

    Summary

    Later in life, much later, Hunter would realize that he had never once treated it like a full sentence. There was always a caveat, a modifier, a question. Something to soften the edge.
    Even still, Titan, how Hunter clung to it.
    You know I love you.
    Haven’t I loved you, Hunter?
    Is this how you repay my love for you?
    It didn’t matter what it was couched in, what insult or reprimand or obfuscation he had to swallow alongside it, hearing Belos say the word love in his general direction could sustain his faith and determination for months at a time, which was lucky, because it often had to.

    An inverted 5+1 things focused on people telling Hunter they love him.

    Summary

    If Grian had the capacity to be poetic, he might find some way to describe the way understanding settles on Mumbo's face. He might have something profound to say about the way a cry for help transcends every language barrier, or about the way Mumbo’s fear slithers away to be replaced by concern that might make him weep if he were able to do something like that anymore.

    “Oh. Oh! You need help. The Enderman monstrosity needs help. Well – well, I, uh, I know a guy. Yeah, his name’s Xisuma, and he – he’s really good with this kind of stuff? So just… sit tight. Yeah. Uh, let me call him –”

    He does not have the capacity, however. He barely has the capacity to understand the waterfall of words cascading over his being. So he simply drops to the ground, tugs his code like a blanket around him, and prays that Mumbo will catch his broken pieces.

    -

    Grian has two options: spend the rest of eternity serving the Watchers, or jump into the void and let it rip him apart in a slow, agonizing death.

    He chooses the second option. Then, miraculously, the universe offers him a third.

    Summary

    Sam did not like to be disobeyed.

    Moreover, Sam did not like to be humiliated.

    So when Dream somehow managed to do both of those things—in less than a blink of the eye, no less—Sam didn’t think it an overreaction to use a potion or two in retaliation. Or a few more after that. Or even more then. It was necessary, was what he told himself. Dream needed to be subdued, or else Dream would keep on scheming, trying to escape again. It was all necessary.

    Sam was no Quackity. He never did anything beyond what was reasonable.

    This, all of this, was necessary.

    (and after all, it wasn’t like his prisoner was in any state to complain.)

     

    or; dream finds out weakness potions are not all fun and games the hard way
