Summary
If there's one thing Dream knows, it's that the world has never been on his side.
When his status as an outcast is easy to tell just by looking at him - when his inability to fall in love and understand the rituals and do it all right has made him stand out as long as he can remember - it's hard to view himself as worth anything. He'll be left alone anyway, right?
Right?
Dream sighs and drags a hand through his hair, catching a few smaller tangles along the way. “Do you… Okay, do you think I’ll ever just– randomly get a streak?”
George squints at him.
“Like, it’s not… not impossible, right? Maybe I’ll wake up and oh, there it is! A little… I don’t know. George, I have been awake for far too long.”

“i guess i–” dream breathes calmly. “i wanted to know if… if that was, like, okay, i suppose.”
“why wouldn’t it be?” sap mumbles back, just as quiet, just as soft.Series

Summary
Dream and Tommy sit on a dock. Once with the sun, twice without it, third time it's getting repetitive.
--
They sat in a semi-comfortable silence, until Dream silently muttered, guilt tinting his voice in shades of green, “It’s been a week.”
Tommy hummed in agreement. He gave no other answer.
“Has nobody visited?”
Tommy hummed again, this time in disagreement. Dream shifted awkwardly. Tommy felt oddly proud, but it wasn’t enough to make his blank face waver.
“You know…” Dream hesitated for a moment, “I’m sorry nobody’s here. I asked them to visit you. Nobody deserves to be completely alone, you know?”
When Tommy offered no further answer, Dream sighed audibly, but didn’t try again. They just sat, both absently watching as the sun pulled the stars to cover the sky. At some point, Dream had set a torch down, which crackled and blinked in tune with their pulses.
---
or,
Dream and Tommy are stuck in a time loop, the thing holding them hostage left to hurt them more and more each time.Series

Summary
happy valentines day y'all.
sam can't escape, no matter how hard he doesn't try. there's obsidian chunks in his hair and his tongue tastes of saltwater. he gathers himself into his arms and tries to remind himself of the core ideas he has to believe in: you're loved, you love, you require. you're wanted. you're needed. you're the dog on the leash and the leash and the person on the other end. i love you.

Summary
dream rots off the bone, tommy falls off the branch. sam's sword pierces through both.
---
the remaining eye stares into sam’s. it’s bloodshot, shaky, pupil too contracted. sam knows dream isn’t quite seeing him right now.
“sam, please,” dream speaks, and sam watches as skin cracks and warps with morbid fascination, more blood running down and clumping in too-dark browns. “food.”
---
or,
dream's failsafe is his own death, but sam's negligence gets someone else killed too.Series

Summary
In 2015, inexplicably, hundreds of people had their dreams tied to Minecraft servers, dubbed The Great Submersion and doubted by many. Years later, Dream starts regretting his decision to indulge in the roleplaying.
--
Dream stares into the viscous liquid. It burns him when he stands this close. His legs are barely keeping him up, and the next moment he knows, he’s falling in and–
–He wakes up, panting. The signature heartburn of a respawn follows soon after. Even if he’s not awake there, he knows when he’s died. And he knows that one will be bad, both because he technically didn’t obey instructions and because he passed out. And–
And–
Prime, he’s a disaster. He tries to calm down as soon as he processes he’s crying, but it doesn’t work. It never does.Series
