  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.

    Sam is so normal, and he has great ideas, and knows best. He absolutely is not making terrible choices regarding the small child he stole from a teenager he murdered. It's fine. Everything is fine.

    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.)

    Summary

    Maybe it's the inherent hopelessness of his real loves and desires being torn to pieces for the entertainment value. Maybe it's because nobody could even bother to pat him on the shoulder for something as small and inconsequential as his frog dying (though it was a frog that "nobody knew or cared about," as Grian so helpfully pointed out about three times in the following hours). It's probably some horrific cocktail of both that's bringing his mood down into that dreaded sluggishness.

    Some more emotionally savvy members of the group might dub his experience with a fun and formal name to really hammer the nail into the coffin parading around the fact that he is stupid and wrong, but for Grian, it is simply deemed as being "down in the dumps."

    [or: jimmy is inordinately upset about the death of his frog. expectedly, there's a lot more to unpack there.]
    [alternatively: grian comes to some realisations about how he's been treating his younger not-brother. title from the pattern by the narcissist cookbook.]

    Summary

    If someone had broken Techno’s window, he might’ve forgiven them, provided they had a good reason.

    If someone had hijacked his house, he probably would’ve stabbed them.

    If that same somebody had decided that his mattress was going to become their deathbed, sure, why not? Who was he, in the infinite whims of the universe, to stop them from bleeding out all over his floorboards?

    …but of all the ungodly hours, why did it have to be 2am?

     

    or; dream breaks into techno’s house and now techno has to deal with an emotionally unstable injured necromancer with a little too many people out hunting for his head
