    Summary

    Outside are four gravestones, lined up in a row. The newest one still has fresh stone. The dirt is still unsettled. Beside it lies an empty hole, tombstone not yet attached.

    And yet, someday, it will be. But for now, the truth is kept inside a stuffy room.

    Error peels up the blankets and settles in. When he looks up, Dust is beside him. His new boots shine, freshly polished. Error smiles at that, even though it's not funny. It's not funny at all.

    Life goes on.
    --
    Or,

    The last remaining survivors of Nightmare's gang watch a meteor shower.

    Summary

    It was done. His men would be busy for a week or so, maybe more; the mansion itself would be left just for the two of them. It was not a matter of space, but rather of privacy, and, following this, they'd have it in just the right amount and more. He had planned this— schemed this, even. He would not falter now.

    Nightmare would attempt not to, at least.

    or

    After weeks of planning, Ink and Nightmare finally decide to try whether fucking is as fun as it sounds.

    Summary

    Dream’s eyes were like honey in the dark. A sweet and gentle glow, like a full moon against a dark sky.

    “Did I wake you up?” He asked, facing the former as he hugged Ink’s middle. His body was warm, heavy and suddenly something Ink wanted to move closer to.

    “Hm.” Was the only response he received as he was pulled closer

    Ink struggles with emotions and Dream talks him though it.

    He was shown to a decking chair. “Please, sit my fine fellow.” Ink grinned flirtatiously and helped Dream to sit with a bow of his head. “And would you like a lighter with that?”

    “I would be most pleased.” Dream replied with a similar grin.

    “Right away then.” The smaller puffed up his chest, murmuring ‘lighter’ to himself as he walked back into Dream’s home.

    “My name is Ink.” How fitting. Ink held a hand out in front of him with intention for a handshake. Hesitantly, Dream complied.

    “Dream.” He muttered in return.

    Or

    Dream meets a boy named “Ink”. They’re both almost the same age on the seaside of 1980s Britain.

    Although, there seems to be something wrong with Ink. A sickness of sorts.

    The bed felt cold enough to be unwelcoming. In the silence of the early morning, he could hear glass hitting glass. His sense of sleepiness seemed to abandon him with the realization that Ink got out of the bed.

    Summary

    What do you think? It’s a big change, I’ll admit, but I think it looks good on you!” Ink says proudly, their shining eyes seeming to liquify and change colour, another of the strange things Dream has noted.

    She wants to cry, more than anything. She wants to sob until there’s nothing left inside of her. She wants her hair back, she wants to keep at least a part of her sister with her, but at the same time the very thought of that makes her feel sick to the stomach and choked up.

    But what she forces herself to do, with a bright smile that feels very easy to fake, is turn back to Ink. “Where to next?"

    Dream gets her hair cut and Nightmare has dinner with her gang.

    Summary

    Ink had a terrible memory.

    It had long since become a fact of life, an easy joke to be made to get everyone laughing. It couldn’t be helped or changed, so why not get a little fun out of it where he could?

    So Ink adapted himself to the klutzy silly guy persona. It wasn’t disingenuous by any means and it served him well. He was able to slide any weirdness he might have off his back because “Oh, that’s just our Ink!”

    No one gave him worrying glances anymore. No one paid attention. It was best this way.

    The problem with the jester persona is it didn’t account for moments like this.

    Summary

    The shame burned. Dream felt as though everyone knew. Knew that he was a failure, that he needed something additional to work (and he was already worse at his work than he'd like). Knew that he wasn't the beacon of happiness and hope that they believed in, that they needed, that they loved. That he was something flawed, which felt sorrow and exhaustion and shame.

    Dream acquires a new coping mechanism. It's not a very good one.

    Summary

    Shouta didn’t go into heroics for the adulation, and his chosen career path means that wide scale recognition is extremely unlikely anyway, but it’s still a little flattering (though he will never tell Zashi) to be some kid’s favourite.

    Not flattering enough to make him put out merchandise, though.
