The Sunflower (healing cottage-core AU)
— SERIES —
Writer's Summary (of first work in series)
Dream sat under the birch tree, lost in thought as tears stained his cheeks.
If he could do it all again, things would’ve been different. He would’ve left L’Manberg alone, no matter if they were on his territory. He wouldn’t have blamed Tommy for all the server's problems and sent him to exile, he wouldn’t have pushed his friends away. Dream regretted it all, and that hurt so much worse than any of his wounds.
And yet…
Dream could feel himself healing. It was slow- prime, it was so incredibly slow and tiresome and annoying- but it was happening. There were setbacks, because of course there were. But Dream was getting better.
He was healing. And that was all he needed.
OR:
Dream is released from prison after months of torture, and goes off on his Disney Princess arc. Healing takes time, but he’s determined to try.

raise me up and pray for forgiveness
Writer's Summary
Phil sat in the front of the boat, shutting his eyes as he felt the breeze brush against his face, nothing but the sound of the ocean gently lapping at the sides of their boat in the night.
Techno silently rowed behind him, occasionally grunting with effort, but offering no conversation. Phil didn’t expect him to, he was used to the silence. He enjoyed it.
It was a quiet night, just the two of them out on the water, heading back to their cabin in the Arctic after visiting L’Manberg.
It was nice, seeing everyone again. It had been so long since their last visit, Phil had forgotten just how much everyone had grown.
AKA a direct follow up to the previous part in the series take me to my grave (but don't you cry for me) it's fifteen years later and a very familiar face finds it's way into the lives of everyone on the SMP, a face that really should be dead by now
AAKA Dream has been drowning for fifteen years, until someone finds him. Featuring more Immortal Dream angst, but this time I add some hurt/comfort because I feel bad

(not that his old rival even knows that name anymore)

A God and his Admin
— SERIES —
Writer's Summary (of first work in series)
Admins and gods have always been interconnected for thousands of years. Neither could exist without the other, for the gods required the strength of the human soul and the humans needed the gods’ magic to create worlds to reside in. Their relationship is maintained through deals made between the two. An exchange of sorts. From their transaction, a server is born.
A certain god overlooks the Dream SMP though he rarely gives thought to his responsibilities. Ignoring the server’s pressing issues, he abandoned his admin in favour of dealing with his own concerns.
But when a certain human threatens his admin, he is forced to ask himself a question. Will he intervene?

Penance of an Unforgivable God
Writer's Summary
And it feels good, in a way. It reminds him that he’s alive, that he’s a real, living person who feels real, living things. It’s something all too easy to forget. He thinks they wanted him to.
Or, Dream relearns what it is to be human.

mirrors
Writer's Summary
Quackity smiles mirthfully, shrugging off his jacket. “Yeah, yeah, I know. Gentlemen prefer blondes, right?”
Sam pauses. “I don't— What do you mean? I’ve never dated a blonde.”
“No need to get all tense, man.” Quackity eyes him with carefully-crafted disinterest. “It’s just a turn of phrase.” ----------------------- Two long-time friends and short-time business partners have a fun, no-strings-attached one night stand. Or, alternatively: a warden and a torturer have cringe fail sex and try very hard not to psychoanalyze each other about it. Everything’s a matter of perspective, after all.

Crow's Nest
Writer's Summary
Techno's house is haunted and the ghost is quite the menace (a torture box tends to do that).
Or: Techno gets a new ghosty roomie and he's not mad about it. Though the same can't be said for his visitors.
Or: Sapnap kills Dream and because of the Death Book and Revive Book things get complicated, resulting in a ghost giving some smp members a good scare.

Hit List
Writer's Summary
L'Manberg was entering a new era but they couldn't do that if their largest threats were still around. They had to do something. As president it was Tubbo's job, even when looking at Dream like this felt so wrong. He had to do what was best for his country. OR Butcher Army arc goes after Dream first instead of Techno

Scheherazade
Writer's Summary
Sam thinks Dream is pretty. Dream never anticipated he would have to include this fact in his cumulative assessment of risk factors and threats to his person — but then again, there is nothing about their lives the prison has not twisted.
Or: an exploration of the scrapped lore discussed on cc!Dream’s twitter space on 09/11/2022. You can listen to the 5-minute clip here! Partly inspired by this post by tumblr user ethek.

Why aren't you listening?
Writer's Summary
Dream deserved to be in prison. Deserved what was happening to him. There was no doubt about that in Sam’s mind. Absolutely none.
That didn’t explain why he started getting concerned when Dream didn’t seem to be listing to him.

avidya asterism | in time you'll grow (i fucking hope)
Writer's Summary
A normal day's clock-out routine at scenic Pandora's Vault (mind the bloodstains!) gets interrupted by creeping red vines that besiege and consume the building, causing enough mayhem that the very fabric of the server destabilizes.
Unfortunately for the current residents, this happens to send them through the void to crash into another server altogether. And more unfortunately for the current residents who are now looking to get home, this new server has a rather dark history. Getting out in one piece and returning home may, horror of horrors, require buckling down and learning to work together.
Aka the self-indulgent prison trio road trip au no one wanted but me!
Ch 2 || sam i
“…Owe you?” Dream repeats, the words soft, well-honed knives cleaving through the tense atmosphere with nary a whisper, a thread of dangerdangerdanger coiling its way around Sam’s ribs and hooking there, a strangling weight like an anvil incrementally pressing against his heart. Quiet, the anvil whispers. Tread carefully. Sam obeys the warning.
