When you really want go read a new chapter of a fic, but it's over 10k words, and I'm sick and really tired and have a headache growing.
When I wake up in the morning my brain better not hurt or so help me.
It Hounds by Xx_vergil_xX, I love Hounds by Xx_vergil_xX it uses comic angst to make great angst and I want to know where their going with it. So I'm going to sleep because that might give me answers.

a mini dreamling comic, I’ve been reading a lot of fics and there’s so many that have been rattling in my brain, but in particular this little mini comic is inspired by @moorishflower ‘s “maybe sprout wings” and @xx-vergil-xx ‘s “hounds” fics! thank you for sharing your craft !!!
it’s also one whole canvas ✨

It lives!!! Hounds in book form is here!! Definitely learned a lot through this process (and know what to do better next time) but, overall, I'm quite happy with how it turned out! @fishfingersandscarves 's art made for the perfect paperback cover as well!
And, of course, thanks you so much to @xx-vergil-xx for all the blood, sweat, and tears that went into such an amazing fic ❤️

The Death of Translation | Dream/Hob | 11K | General | Complete Canon Compliant, Canon Universe, POV Hob Gadling, Modern Era, Pining, Falling In Love, Languages, Professor Hob Gadling, Banter, Loneliness, Confessions, Requited Unrequited Love, Middle English, Français | French, Česky | Czech, Portuguese, Dead Languages, Happy Ending, Character Study, or: an idiot with an idiolect
One day, in spring, he comes to the Inn. Hob looks up and he’s there, and the relief is blinding. He thinks tu m’as manqué, fuck, because you were missing from me feels more true than I missed you ever has. English missing was ruined for him the moment he learned the French way of it. Longing is meant to be a reflexive verb. It would be a bad faith translation, even for him. He tells himself this is why he doesn’t say it. He thinks at last, and that’s a doable one. So he smiles, says, “You’re late.” His stranger smiles back and tu m’as manqué, tu m’as manqué, tu m’as manqué rings through Hob like carillon bells. “It seems I owe you an apology,” say his stranger, still standing. “I’ve always heard it impolite to keep one’s friends waiting.” His stranger sits down, and after six hundred and thirty-three years, introduces himself, because friends should know each other’s names.
[Read on AO3]
FINALLY it's here thank you so much to @xx-vergil-xx, @fishfingersandscarves, and @wordsinhaled who first screamed with me about this concept in November, everyone who has screamed at me about it since, and everyone who donated language to this bilingual pleb - special mention to @mandolinearts for the massive amts of czech & @virgo-dream for the massive amounts of brazilian portuguese.

Dante Sparda x Female Reader. Angst. Hurt/Comfort. TW: Miscarriage. This doesn't start off well. Heartbreak. Dealing with loss. Grief. Dante comforts Reader because Dante is the best and most sweetest half-Devil husband. There is hope. There is a happy ending I promise.
⚠️Warning: This story contains and features the topic of miscarriage. Miscarriage is a very sensitive subject to some people, so if you are uncomfortable with this subject in any way, please do not read. Please note this is my first time writing such a topic, I do not want to come off as offensive or insensitive in anyway so please understand. Thank you.⚠️

The day you were told you were pregnant was you and Dante's most exciting moment. You and Dante prepped and got everything ready in anticipation for the baby. Until one day, you awoke to the worst case scenario every expecting mother fears. Now you are unsure how to proceed in the aftermath. But your loving husband Dante isn't going to let you go through this alone.
You remember the day you told Dante to take you to the hospital after you woke up to throw up last night's take-out and realising your monthly was late.
You remember sitting nervously in the waiting room with Dante, anxiously biting your nails and Dante tapping his foot nervously as you both awaited results. Then the doctor called you both in.
You remember feeling nervous until the doctor told you the words.
"You are pregnant"
You remember looking at Dante, nervously. Then you felt joy at seeing Dante give you the biggest, most happiest grin ever and you both shared a joyful laughter as he picked you up and spun you around, holding gently on to you as you giggled.
Dante leaned forward and planted a big kiss on your head.
"I'm gonna be a Dad" Spoke Dante excitingly and softly.
"I'm gonna be a Mom" You Gasped, feeling the excitement bubbling.
"A badass Mom!" Remarked Dante winking at you as you giggled.
"And you, a badass Dad" You Replied back and kissed Dante with happy tears in your eyes.
Everything went great. Dante told Vergil and Nero about it, you told the girls Kyrie, Trish, Nico and Lady. Patty and Morrison stopped by to give their congratulations and you couldn't be happier.
The weeks flew by. You and Dante were building the nursery, Nico and Nero helping Dante build the crib. You didn't know what colour to paint the nursery.
"Pink!" Cried Patty excitedly.
"What if the baby's a boy?" You Asked Patty sweetly.
"Blue then!" Patty Replied.
"Yeah but we don't know if the baby's a girl or boy" Dante Remarked. You nodded as the baby's gender was still unknown.
"How about a different colour than the traditional colours? Maybe a nice bright yellow?" You Suggested.
"Or a flaming hot red?" Suggested Dante.
"How about green?" Patty Asked.
"Green? That actually sounds nice. Green is a lovely colour" You Replied smiling softly as Patty danced around excitingly. For an 18 year old, Patty was still full of beans as ever.
Kyrie took you shopping, picked out cute baby clothes and maternity clothes. Looking at the purchased baby shoes, your heart raced excitedly as you thought of the baby, waddling around in these shoes.
You and Dante attended appointments with the doctors and made sure to take your prenatals. Everything was going great. You and Dante were looking forward to the day you'd meet your child.
It was all going well......until it wasn't. One morning, you woke up to blood staining the bedsheets and pain shooting through you. Panic immediately set in. It was too early, far too early for the baby.
You were rushed to hospital and down the hospital's hallways as Dante held your hand throughout. You turned to the doctor, begging for answers.
"Doctor, it's too early for the baby! It's too early! Is something wrong?!" You Cried, panicking.
"Everything's all right, we're gonna help you" The Doctor would say but you didn't feel reassured. The doctors wheeled you into the room and Dante was made to wait outside the room.
After a hour or so, the doctor came out and told Dante the most heart crushing news no expecting father to be has to hear.
"Your wife has suffered a miscarriage. I'm very sorry Mr. Sparda. This is a very difficult situation and I understand if you need a moment or two" Explained the doctor.
Dante's heart sank. The child you and Dante made together, the child you both were eager to meet, was gone. Not even beginning to live and already their life was snuffed out.
And Y/N? Oh god was she okay?
"My wife! How's is she? Please tell me she's alright" Asked Dante tearfully.
"Your wife's condition is stable. She'll be alright. Though this unfortunate news will not be easy to take in. Let her rest first, in the morning you can go in to her. She'll need you when we tell her the unfortunate news" Explained the doctor.
And Dante was there, holding your hand as you screamed and cried upon hearing the news. Dante held you close as you sobbed into his chest, your heart utterly broken. Dante's eyes welled up with tears and he too quietly sobbed with you. But there was one thing you wanted to know.
"Was it a girl? Or a boy?" You Asked tearfully.
The doctor looked at his notes and looked at you with sympathy.
"It was a girl" Answered the doctor and a wave of hot tears came over you and Dante as you both held on to each other and cried.
When you were cleared to go home, you felt like a zombie. You'd walk past the nursery and see the crib, empty and cold. The green paint and design of the room mocked you, the toys you received from friends and family, taunting you. Worst was holding the shoes you picked out for the baby, it's small size making your heart shatter all over again as fresh tears welled in your eyes as you clutched the baby shoes close to your chest and sobbed.
"This wasn't supposed to happen! We were supposed to be a family! Why did this happen to us? Why?" You Sobbed loudly.
Dante came upstairs and took you into his arms as you both sat on the floor of the nursery.
"I'm sorry Dante" You Whimpered.
"Hey, don't say that. Don't ever apologise for something that we couldn't control. You did everything right, you ate good and took your prenatals. We went to the appointments, we did everything we could" Explained Dante as he held you in his arms.
"But why? We were gonna be a family. We were gonna have a little girl" You Sniffled.
"I don't know why babe. I wish I knew, some people would say it wasn't meant to be but I honestly don't know what to say to make this better. Maybe there's nothing to say to make this all better. But i know one thing. I love you Y/N and I know this feeling won't heal overnight but I promise I'll be here by your side. You don't have to go through this alone. We'll do this together, I promise you Y/N" Declared Dante.
You both looked into each other's teary eyes.
"We'll get through this" Dante Assured you.
"Together?" You Asked, feeling so much love for your husband in that moment and even though the pain will not go away overnight, you knew you didn't have to go through this alone.
"Always" Replied Dante and together you both shared a comforting embrace, tears falling from both each other's eyes.
That was 3 years ago and looking back on that terrible moment, you were thankful for your husband. Friends and family came together for you two and with their support, your recovery from this traumatic chapter in your lives began. It was a slow recovery, there were times where things got hard but you and Dante had each other and slowly you both pulled through.
To help with copying with the loss, You and Dante kept the pregnancy scan photos, along with a pink hair ribbon, a pair of baby shoes and a small teddy in a decorative box on the mantlepiece, a sort of memorial to the little girl you and Dante were hoping to meet. You both named her "Danielle".
3 years on and you both pulled through, stronger and closer than ever. You looked over to the mantlepiece and smiled softly.
You then turned to the window and smiled when you felt Dante's arms wrap around you.
"Hey babe" Purred Dante happily as he nuzzled your neck lovingly.
"Hey honey" You Replied and turned to kiss your husband's scruffy cheek. You both chuckled and continued looking out the window, deep in thought.
"Something on your mind?" Asked Dante softly.
"Nothing much. Just....." You Began but stopped yourself. Dante frowned, confused.
"What's wrong babe?" Asked Dante turning you around to face him. You felt unsure how to tell him what you were thinking.
"It's just......" You Began.
"Go on" Spoke Dante softly.
"I wanna try again" You Answered.
Dante looked shocked, then surprised.
"You mean, try for a baby?" Dante Asked nervously. You nodded.
"I think I'm ready. But if you're not, we can always wait Dante" You Assured him, smiling softly.
"Only if you are sure you're ready babe" Said Dante.
"I am" You Confirmed, confident.
"Alright then. Shall we take this upstairs?" Asked Dante, smirking. You giggled softly and let Dante carry you upstairs.
"Yes, my darling husband" You Remarked and you two proceeded upstairs.
A few weeks later, you were confirmed to be pregnant. Naturally you and Dante were nervous, given what happened 3 years ago. But soon it was apparent, this time was going to be different.
9 months later, you gave birth to a beautiful boy. You and Dante named him Julian. And you both promised little Julian that when he grows up, you will tell him about his sister who went on to become an angel and watch over you, Dante and baby Julian.

❤️‍🩹Okay, so that was a lot of angst. And I due to the subject of the story, I decided to put in a happy ending for reader and Dante. It would feel wrong of me to leave it here without giving it at least a happy ending❤️‍🩹
Thanks again for the request👍❤️

I FINALLY got these ones done!! Some would say I've left the best til last, but I'll leave that up to you to decide. 18+ content beneath the cut so minors DNI thanks babes xx
Poor boy will try so hard to impress you on your first date to the point where something will go wrong and you both just laugh about it and it takes the pressure off
Buys you gifts frequently and insists that you deserve them so he won't stop
A very affectionate boyfriend
Like, always kissing your cheek or your temple or the top of your head
Loves to hold hands and isn't afraid of showing PDA in front of others
Sends you a good morning text every morning
Will also call you every night that he's away on a mission before you go to bed so that you don't miss him as much
Introduces you to Kyrie and the kids at the orphanage when things start to get more serious
He's reluctant to introduce you to Dante
Even more reluctant to introduce you to Vergil because of their father son relationship being a very new thing
Will often invite you to hang out with him, Kyrie, and Nico
Sends you selfies of him working on the van in the garage and he almost always has oil and grease on his face and in his hair
Speaking of selfies, he definitely has learned how to take good nudes for you
He's a flirty, teasing little shit when he sends you nudes too
But send him one back and he becomes flustered, grows red in the face, has to leave the room for a moment
Likes to take things slow and be gentle in the bedroom
Lots of kisses during sex - he likes to feel connected with you as much as possible
Phone sex is also something that you both engage with often because of how often he's away on missions
He's not comfortable with public sex, but the thought of getting caught does excite him
King of giving head. He's ridiculously good at it
Thoroughly enjoys morning sex with you first thing after waking up

Hello! Who do you recommend I follow for more awesome dreamling content like you have? Thanks!
OH MAN okay so uh you might follow a number of them already BUT, all of the people here are incredible and lovely and I interact with them regularly or semi-regularly!

@dancinbutterfly (Wrote Fuckboi Hob vs. The Endless Family Dinner, and turn, my beloved, and be thou like a young hart, also does fantastic meta!)
@fishfingersandscarves (Definitely best known for their art, but also writes Better Strangers, a Daniel/Hob fic I'm rabid for)
@delta-pavonis (Writes the Dream Songs series, which got me into the idea of BDSM for Dreamling. I'd never written it before!)
@teejaystumbles (More amazing art! Torte on AO3, wrote The Storms of Life)
@softest-punk (Wrote Knight of Cups and Shelter, good insights into the writing process in general, overall very cool!)

@pellaaearien (Writes Another Word for Ache, has the cutest and most powerful video game character)
@wordsinhaled (Really cool modern art style Dream content + lots of soft Dreamling art, has written a lot of good lil tumblr fics <3)
@messmonte/@alexxuun (First is the NSFW account, second is SFW, Alex's has been the singlehanded inspiration for like. At least 5 or 6 fics I think.)
@dsudis (Wrote Licking the Spoon and the Dream Problems series, powerful in the ways of tagging and also just in the art of writing in general)
@mandolinearts (More soft Dreamling art! Wrote and illustrated the piece about Hob Gadling and the comet!)
@xx-vergil-xx (Writes Hounds, one of THE long fics of the fandom. Come for the fic, stay for the unhinged metaphors of devouring as devotion!)
I have a lot of other people I'd recommend following but I either don't know their tumblr handles (only know them from discord lol) or they aren't on tumblr <3 But if you follow THESE people and then follow whoever THEY follow, you're set!!!
