    Summary

    Dream’s mind felt thick, a muffled haze seeping through every thought, blurring each edge the longer he lingered in Sol’s presence. It was as if his very will was dulled, wrapped in an unseen fog that softened his defenses, weakening his resolve with every beat of his exhausted SOUL.

    "You know this little barrier hardly holds us," Sol murmured, satisfaction curling in his tone like smoke. "Are you so eager to break our agreement?"

    Dream’s jaw clenched, frustration pulsing through his core, his SOUL flickering in silent rebellion. "I’m not—" But his words stumbled, faltering as Sol’s fingers drifted over his shoulder in a avaricious caress, sending prickles down his spine and deepening the cloud over his mind.

    "No?" Sol’s voice was a velvet whisper, a challenge wrapped in silk, his hand trailing down Dream’s arm, lingering just enough to leave a trail of heat in its wake. "Then be still, Guardian. Rest. Let yourself be attended to for once, won’t you?"

    Summary

    The tendrils wound tightly around Dream, their touch slick and cool against his fevered bones, a twisted blend of torment and fleeting relief. He gasped for air, each breath a ragged, broken thing as his wounds throbbed with searing pain, crying out for mercy. His body, heavy with fatigue, ached to give in, to let the darkness consume him. But he couldn’t—he wouldn’t. Not when everything was on the line.

    Not when there’s so much left at stake.

    He needs to save them.

    He needs to save him.

    He needs to see him again—just once more. To fix what’s been shattered, to reach out through the wreckage and pull his brother back from the darkness that’s consumed him.

    His brother.

    His brother

    “It’s over, Dream.”

    Except, it never seems to end.

    Summary

    “Hush,” Nightmare cooed, a gentle shushing sound slipping from his mouth as he drew Dream closer, pressing the smaller form against his chest. His tendrils loosened their grip, retreating, though Dream's small fingers still clung to one, refusing to let go entirely, even in his distress. Stubborn, as always.

    Even as he sobbed, his body racked with trembling, Nightmare stroked the top of his skull in a slow, deliberate motion. “Tell Nighty why you're crying," he pried, his tone sickly sweet, even though he already knew the answer. The evidence was written all over Dream's skull, plain as day.

    Summary

    "Wait, wait—" Dream’s protest fell out in a rushed breath, more tendrils slipping around him, coiling with a surprising tenderness as they supported his weight. Their touch was featherlight, far from constricting, almost careful in the way they held him.

    He could have resisted. If he had truly felt inclined, he could have broken free. But the shock of the moment held him captive more than the tendrils themselves. His arms flailed, half-heartedly attempting to push away, but his willpower faltered before it even truly ignited. There was no real threat here, no sense of looming danger. He felt more surprised than anything else.

    Perhaps, under different circumstances, Dream might have felt alarmed. Perhaps he should have been. But that wasn’t the point. Not now. Not with that quiet, unnerving comfort seeping into him like the coolness of the tendrils against his bones.

    Summary

    This, this humiliation, was why he had agreed in the first place—why he’d sided with Sol. To go up against someone who rivalled his power, who had also given themselves to the same corruptive forces, was foolish. No matter how much the very thought sickened him, how much he loathed the idea of bending to Sol’s whims, the alternative was far worse.

    I'll strike a truce with you, Sol had whispered with that devilish smile, if you'll be my mate.

    It was degrading. Vile. The mere thought of it twisted something deep inside him, but the knowledge that his men would be safe—that he wouldn’t have to wage war on two fronts, against both Sol and Dream—had outweighed his pride.

    Still, the bitterness lingered. He had no desire to submit to any Alpha, let alone that Alpha. Sol’s control, his smug superiority, grated on Nightmare’s every nerve. But for now, he had to endure it—for his gang, for the tenuous balance he needed to maintain.

    Even if it meant swallowing his pride for a man he despised.

    Summary

    The urge to hiss and spit clawed at his throat, but he forced it down, knowing that his survival depended on keeping Dream’s guard down. Any sign of defiance now would only tighten the noose. He had to play along, to behave, even as every instinct screamed at him to fight back.

    He stiffened as Dream’s hand traced a soft, burning path down his spine, the touch almost tender through the fabric of his clothes. It took every ounce of willpower not to flinch away, especially when Dream guided him down to sit, his fingers deftly beginning to undress him. The intimacy of the act made his bones crawl, but he swallowed his revulsion, knowing that resistance would only make his escape harder.

    Summary

    "Get these off of me," Nightmare spat, his voice a mixture of rage and desperation. Bound tightly, he thrashed and twisted, trying to free himself from the unforgiving chains and cuffs. His struggles were futile, only serving to highlight his helplessness.

    Sol watched, a dark smile playing on his mouth. There was something undeniably captivating about seeing Nightmare like this, all his power stripped away, leaving only raw vulnerability. Sol could lose himself in this sight for days.

    But he knew that was cruel. An attentive lover should show mercy, shouldn't he?

    He drifted closer, his gaze locked on the bright gold cuffs that gleamed against Nightmare's obsidian corruption. Like a predator closing in on its captured prey, he moved with deliberate slowness, savouring every second. "I couldn't possibly," he purred, his voice low and tantalizing. "You'll leave if I release you, Darling."

    Caught, Nightmare has to accept Sol's tender mercies.

    Summary

    "I want them. I need them. You're mine, aren't you? You promised." Dream's voice was a husky whisper, dripping with possessiveness as he leaned in for a slow, deliberate kiss, grinding against him with a relentless fervor.

    The kiss broke, a string of saliva connecting their mouths, tinged a dusky mauve. His breath was hot against Nightmare's bones. "You promised you would stay with me. That you were mine. That we would stay together," his older brother cooed, his words a haunting melody of desire and desperation.

    "You're mine. Every part of you is mine," Dream murmured, his voice a seductive purr. "Your soul, your heart, your very essence. Your seed. Everything—you belong to me. We were destined to be together..."

    Nightmare shuddered beneath Dream's words, his grip unyielding, trapping Nightmare in a suffocating embrace. His own body felt sluggish, unresponsive to his desperate attempts to break free.

    This couldn't be happening. The realization crashed over Nightmare like a tidal wave, drowning him in a sea of dread and despair. Locked in Dream's embrace, he was powerless to escape the scenario unfolding before him.

    This couldn't be happening.

    Summary

    Despite himself, the mere thought of his brother kneeling before him, submitting to his every whim, sent a surge of hot lightning through him. Dream's words, dripping with devotion, only fueled the flames of desire.

    "I'd do anything for you," Dream whispered, his breath hot against Nightmare's skull, his fervor palpable. "I'd turn the world to fire and ash for you. I'd ruin myself for you. I already have."

    Summary

    Dream sighed, his exasperation palpable as he reclined onto the bedspread, briefly surrendering to the darkness behind his closed eyelids. Part of him dared to hope that when he reopened them, this would all prove to be nothing more than a figment of his imagination. Yet, the lingering weight of the collar and cuffs dashed his optimism.

    "I have obligations today. Commitments and appointments," he began to protest, his voice laced with frustration, without even bothering to lift his lids. The sound of Sol's laughter, muffled by his gloved hand, only served to deepen his sense of resignation.

    "What a pity you'll have to forgo them," Shattered remarked, his tone utterly indifferent to Dream's predicament, embodying a devil-may-care attitude. "Or perhaps you should be grateful that we took the liberty of informing your friends that you were feeling a touch unwell."

    Alarm surged through Dream, panic compelling him to open his eyes and confront the pair of troublemakers who regarded him as nothing more than a plaything, an object for their amusement.

    A toy.

    Summary

    "Dream?" Swap mused aloud, the name lingering in the air.

    Swap's words seemed to strike a nerve, causing the newcomer to react with a sudden, almost primal intensity. He jumped, summoning a weapon in a defensive stance, as if bracing for an imminent attack. There was a feral, hunted look in his eyes that sent a shiver down Swap's spine.

    "O-ø-Œ-oh great. I just got him to c-ç-C-calm down," Error huffed, clearly displeased with the unexpected turn of events.

    The sight of the dark scythe pointed in his direction was unsettling for Swap. It was a weapon he had only ever seen wielded by Reaper.

    "I'm not going back to him. You can't take me," Error's friend hissed defiantly, desperation etched in every word. "I won't let you."

    Summary

    "You often speak of our fate," Dream began cautiously.

    "Yes, little Dreamcatcher?" Shattered responded with a low hum, his single eye-light shifting to regard Dream properly.

    The younger Guardian emitted a flustered huff at the nickname bestowed upon him, attempting to brush it off, though neither Shattered nor his positively corrupt counterpart were easily deterred. Dream proved to be a teasing target all too easy to provoke.

    "Is it so awful?" Dream managed, his tone laced with a hint of nervousness and trepidation.

    Summary

    He found himself drifting, lost in the haze of desire, only to be jolted awake by a velvety croon that pierced the air. "I'd surrender everything to savor you, my dear," the words, equal parts sweet and sinful, cascaded over him. His adversary showed no restraint as he drew nearer, the heat of his presence palpable, the subtle crackle of bones transforming and reforming sending shivers down his spine. The mingling scent of his intoxicating cologne and fermented fruit teased his senses.

    "I'd offer myself willingly," Sol continued, his voice dripping like honey, "to bury my face between your thighs, to let you ride my tongue until your pleas for mercy fell upon deaf ears. I'd drink every bitter drop that spills from you." Despite himself, the vivid imagery burned itself into his mind's eye.

    Nightmare strikes a deal, using himself as payment. More is taken than agreed upon, naturally.

    Summary

    "You're mine, Cross. You have been since I claimed you. You will be for as long as you breathe," he murmured, and ex-guardsmen loathed how a part of him savored that admission. He couldn't quell the shiver that coursed through him at those possessive words. The part of him that craved affirmation and yearned to be wanted ached with every syllable. "And I entrusted you with my little brother. Entrusted you with watching over my only kin. You should be expressing gratitude to your King," he said sweetly.

    Cross recognized it as a cue, understanding that Nightmare anticipated a display of appreciation. It was a struggle not to slip into old habits, to resist when his mind swam and the weight of negativity pressed down upon him so relentlessly.

    "I own you, Cross," Nightmare declared with a sinister satisfaction, his voice a venomous melody that echoed in the dim dungeon. "Every fiber of your being is mine to command. You're tethered to me, bound by the threads of your own inadequacy."

    Summary

    The tenderness displayed by his brother felt... unprecedented. Usually, Dream's touch was rough, his handling harsh and desperate, leaving bruises and burns as marks of his desire for Nightmare to stay. Now, it was a stark contrast—a soft caress, a firm but not suffocating grip that carried a comforting weight.

    Anticipating some delayed burst of horror and panic, Nightmare found none. Instead, his attention fixated on the sweltering burn within his bones and the places where Dream's touch lingered. His summoned ecto ached, stubbornly refusing to dissipate.

    Whining, he struggled to articulate his discomfort, uncertain of how to alleviate it. Dream swiftly hushed him, murmuring sweet nothings to soothe his distress. "It's alright. I'm here to take care of you. I'm here, I'm here—" The revelation came in fragments, as Dream continued, "You're so heatsick, you poor thing. You've been staving this off for a long time, haven't you?" Pity dripped from his voice, but an unmistakable satisfaction lingered beneath the surface.

    Summary

    "I'm surprised you don't take better care of these," his brother remarked gently, genuine concern threading his tone. He had assumed that Dream, with his vanity, would meticulously tend to the wings spread gracefully behind him. The unexpected sight of damaged and uneven feathers drew his brother's attention, sparking curiosity.

    During the chaos of flight and combat, such imperfections remained elusive, especially when Nightmare's focus was fixated on finding an escape route. However, in this moment of stillness, the damaged plumage was impossible to overlook.

    Summary

    In the hushed atmosphere, Dream's teeth brushed against the edge of his acoustic meatus, oddly sending a shiver down his spine. "Never doubt, my dear brother," the Guardian purred, the velvety timbre of his voice resonating with a promise that held a subtle undercurrent of possessive ardor. His breath, warm and reassuring, mingled with the night air.

    "I won't let anyone take you away. You're mine," Dream declared, his voice a soft caress carrying a possessive fervor that gleamed in the depths of his bright eyes. The words lingered in the air, each syllable heavy with an unspoken promise, a tapestry woven with threads of protection and threats of unspoken violence.

    Dream is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure his brother's happiness. Turning back the clock and taking care of him properly is just the best way... probably.

    Summary

    "Let me look at you, darling." It wasn't a mere request; despite Nightmare's resistance, the magical chains pulled him closer to his captor with a single, compelling tug.

    As his brother neared, the heat radiating from Dream stilled Nightmare's writhing and dissolved his struggle against the ethereal bonds. Fear transformed him into a trembling statue of stone, his SOUL pulsating in a rhythmic staccato within his chest, as if attempting to escape through his throat, rendering him breathless.

    This was it, the moment he anticipated as his death knell. There seemed to be no other outcome.

    All his futile struggling amounted to nothing. How pitiful.

    Finally and inevitably, Nightmare is caught by Dream.

    Summary

    Killer leaned back against the cold stone behind him, enraptured by the performance set out before him. He had always been captivated by Nightmare to a degree, drawn to him like a moth to a flame—but this was different. This was a display, a moment of expression and artistry. Something to be witnessed and consumed.

    It was probably too romantic of a sentiment—but Killer was happy to be Nightmare's audience for as long as he could.

    For forever, if only his King would allow it.

    Summary

    Shattered laughed from somewhere in front of him. "So high strung, little light." He murmured, sounding both amused and pitying. "You do need something like this, don't you?"

    Dream opened his mouth to retort, to deny—but the words were quickly lost, slipping through his mind like grains of sand through the divots between his fingers as bright heat accosted him. He yelped at the sudden contact, distal phalanges pressing against the back of his neck. It felt like being kissed with flame.

    "There, there." A different voice cooed from his back. "We'll make it better, darling."
