Summary
Post unmaking and remaking. Dream has been oblivious to the needs of his creation, and Corinthian voices his longing, loneliness, and misery for the first time. It becomes a healing time for both of them. Include a very intense scene that isn't /just/ sex, though it very much resembles sex haha. I'm not sure how I feel about sharing my erotic writing in public but since it is anonymous, I will give it a go. Might take down in future, idk.

Summary
“I’m coming… I’m coming… When t-the walls… I’ll be there,” her gaze suddenly snapped up to meet Dream’s with perfect clarity. “I promised you I’d never let The Dreaming fall.”
Morpheus stroked a thumb over one heaving cheekbone. “You did.”
The focus faded, replaced instead by unshed tears. “Did you always mean to leave me?” She whispered.Lucienne alone kept The Dreaming afloat for a century. That kind of loyalty is a double-edged sword, and when it threatens to destroy her, the realm is once again at risk of falling.

Summary
Samhain happened in a flash of green.
The baby didn't cry when his mother decided to sleep on the floor and never wake up again. He didn't cry when the red eyed man shot another pretty light that burned his forehead. He didn't cry when a pair of soft arms lifted him up, hugging him like his mommy used to. He didn't cry when the warm stranger kissed his aching forehead, wrapped a silver necklace around his neck and said it was not his time, not yet. Harry didn't cry when people found him.
He slept, hugging the cold metal of a silver ankh that whispered sweet nothings to him.

This story takes place somewhere in the middle of the comics, right before Delirium and Dream go on their journey to find Destruction. Comic spoilers and T.V. show spoilers ahead! Also the MC is lowkey a self-insert (using my own name too lol) but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Open it."
Hob did so and let out a soft gasp.
"This isn't printed."
"It is handwritten."
Hob held the book closer to his chest as he gazed back down at it.
"You wrote it down?"
"I did." Morpheus nodded. Hob stepped closer to him and looked him right in the eyes.
"It must have taken you a long time."
"It was worth every second."

Death is caged within a ritual circle, but, as Death always said, noone can live forever. Not even Death herself, and if she's not doing her duties, then she has the responsiblity to continue the cycle of life and death. Even if it's by one of her siblings.

Summary
He never did summon her for much more than to attend to his personal pleasures or using her powers, so as to not tire him. She had grown accustomed to it, his coldness, his neglect, accustomed to live as a wife who did not had a husband, as a Queen only in title, not in function – there was very little she could do, even as a goddess.
But after countless centuries bound in a loveless marriage, and a century old imprisonment, Morpheus seems to have reconsidered much of his treatment to Phaethusa, a bride he never courted, merely accepted.
