The Adopted One

Time is also Clockwork. When Danny fully comes into his powers Night became threatened by her partners new child and tries to destroy them. So Time yanks the little baby Ghost King (He has not even two decades old Night! Has barley come into existence. How could you attack the baby?) and dumps him right in the middle of the table his seven other children were having their once a century dinner. They can look after their new sibling while Time takes care of Night.

They Endless were having another tense dinner when suddenly a boy with blue eyes and hair as messy as Dreams appears in the center of the dinner table with a familiar green sticky note tight in the center of his forehead.

What did their Father do now?

and it rings in the day and it rings in the evening oh, i could pray, but it won't stop you leaving —phildel, “funeral bell”

My Sandman comics themed cosmology chart, finally complete! It was inspired by medieval astrological charts, starting as they often did with the sun and moon in the centre and working outwards.

It features the seven Endless, Heaven and Michael, Hell and Lucifer, Mother Night, Father Time and the realms of the Endless (eight with the inclusion of Delight for balance). There's a whole lot happening here... So I've taken some close ups so you don't have to keep zooming in.

Time got the Dad stare™ from Warriors when he was Mask

So @redmalkin had an amazing idea of Time!Hob and Night!Dream and I just had to draw Dream.

I imagined that instead of him looking exactly like his mum with her dark sky skin, I thought ever-moving and expanding tattoos that have stars in them!

I thought adding Time's red hair to Hob would be a subtle indication of his change!

I totally didn't draw Dream in Yor's sweater😏

New Demigod/Ghost Hybrid Danny

Big Barda and Scott Free Mister Miracle were at their home when they saw this clockwork-like being inside their room.

He told them "If they do something for him, he will make sure that Darkseid can't come to "their" universe." Both didn't believe him but made the deal—anything if it hurts Darkseid. If he does it first, they will do what he wants from them. Then they learned a few days later that Darkseid is missing and Apokolips is in chaos. Kalibak took the throne and is much more active in his war than their father was. Both looked at each other and knew they now had to do what that being wanted from them, so they waited at their home for him to appear again. Only for him to appear before them with a bundle in his arms. "Raise him; I will later collect him when he is old enough."

+ Ghost Zone It all started when Danny started playing with new things he found in the Ghost Zone. Clockwork had no idea how he turned into a New God/Ghost hybrid, but who cares? This way, his human form is much safer. But he can't raise a baby in the zone, and he can't send him back, while Amity Park wouldn't notice they would care much since he is now a toddler. Danny would care about the years he missed with his friends. Well, time to search for a way to make it work. He searched 2 New Gods who could take care of Danny and train him and made a deal with them. After that he talked with Darkseid who he left to do Darkseid things in other universes, Clockwork gave the infant Danny to Big Barda and Scott Free Mister Miracle to take care of and teach him. Clockwork already broke many rules for Danny; what are a few more?

In 14 years, he will be growing up in that universe. He will stop the time in this one, so he won't miss any moment of his life in Amity Park. And when he is back his age, he will bring him back to his original world.

A/N Darkseid isn't dead; he is not able to return to this universe. The rest of the multiverse is open for him. Clockwork = Father Time Danny's world, the time stopped till Danny returns after 14 years of going back to 14 years old.

finally heres Father Time (yes the same one from Rudolph's Shining New Year lol)

Tada!

Commission for @windsweptinred for their amazing fic Metamorphosis, (goooo reaaaad iiiit) with Night!Dream and Time!Hob and their new Endless Babies Eternity and Euphoria! Flowers used are Amaranth for Hob which means immortality, the Queen of Night flower for Morpheus and Forget-Me-Nots for both of the, for constancy.

I adored this fic and getting to work on this, thank you so much for the opportunity and for the beautiful story!

I've had a few people ask about Night and Time's outfits from Metamorphosis. (And Dusk and Dawn, which is awesome! As I thought they'd get the least interest out of everyone.) Honestly, I prefer to let people come up with their own imaginings rather the set a certain look in stone. But, now it's been a while since I wrapped up the final chapter, I thought I'd share my planning sketches for the fic. I draw these as a form of notes, to get things out of my head and start forming fixed ideas. Anywho, for those interested, I hope this helps. But please, feel free to picture them anyway you wish! 😁

Who's got which Triforce? I loved the birthday letter art and saw that Time and Wild have different triforces?
