Apologies if this get too rambly (with a crossover between two of my favorite fandoms how could it not XD) but imagine all of the new situations the apple twins being around the disaster twins could create... I'm mainly thinking about what it would be like after Donnie makes his own wings
We know that Dream is disappointed that he doesn't have wings of his own (like Leo) in the FED au at least, so once he sees that Donnie can make the wings he would probably beg him to make some for himself
But I think this could lead to a few different situations, either Dream also doesn't realize that Leo also wants wings or he does, with his ability to sense Leo's emotions (assuming that applies here lol) he would probably realize what he wants and get Donnie to make both of them wings : D
Or, maybe he doesn't realize and only asks Donnie to make the wings for himself, in which case both Leo and Nightmare would be left without wings while their brothers are able to fly off without them... I love the potential interactions between Donnie and Nightmare but what would happen if Leo and Nightmare are the only ones left without wings? Or even if he asks for the wings to be made for himself and Leo but not Nightmare? 👀 (Possibly leading him to feel more outcast and becoming corrupted?)
INTRIGUING. I AM INTRIGUED.
That’s such a slippery slope of a situation, mostly due to who actually WANTS to fly. Dream does, absolutely, and obviously Leo. Donnie wants to defy God itself and his own genetics, that’s 99% of why he made wings. Meanwhile, Nightmare has no desire at all. The ground is nice, thank you. If anything, he’s learning that swimming is pretty neat, thanks to Leo. (It’s not as nice to Dream, feels weird with his fur).
BUT. Bro definitely has some abandonment issues. If all of the others could fly, including his brother, he’d likely feel left out. But if it was Leo and him that couldn’t fly, and Dream was too focused on new people and new friends and new wings to realize Leo’s inner turmoil, Nightmare definitely has.
He may not be a huge fan of Donnie, but he does like Leo. He’s teaching NM to swim. He has a lot of patience with NM, especially with his social anxiety and fear of new people. He’s actually very kind and considerate, knowing exactly what people need or feel without having the same emotional abilities the Apple Twins have! Even if he tries to cover up his softer sides with self confidence and annoying jokes, Nightmare would probably be the first to ever see right through that, talk to him about it, and get to hang out with a more real ass version of Leo.
Heck, bro probably has brought him on his portal flight runs before. Cuz Nightmare’s the only one who really understands that feeling of being left behind. Might as well show off this trick to someone that’ll fully understand the value of it and the complexities of performing it in the first place.
So yeah, he’s not a fan of Donnie. But he’d absolutely ask Dee to make Leo AND him a set of wings, so Leo can have his dream without having to expose himself to his brothers before he’s quite ready…
