-----

- Palace staff was on high alert since you arrived to the realm. The orders from their master were clear, everything should look as their absolute best, all the time. Staff grew with gardeners, painters and boatmen since Morpheus was adamant about making The Dreaming a home to you. Anything you loved about your fallen homeland was available for you to see and visit in this realm as well.

- Hanging Gardens of Babylon were already placed right next to the gates since the times you were his soon-to-be wife. Giant statue of Zeus that Morpheus made to please you and honor your father was now destroyed, he didn’t deserve this type of a memorial after what he did to him and his precious lover. Temples for your brother and sister were in its place now. The giant golden Colossus statue was connecting the two bridges from the palace to the town. You were really upset when the original one in Rhodes was destroyed so of course Morpheus took a note of making it a part of the realm. Since he knew you would always spent extra time to admire the Lighthouse of Alexandria, he made Mervyn to built one. 

- If Mervyn was smarter, he wouldn’t mention that The Dreaming doesn’t have a river or ocean that big. He was thinking he should have kept his mouth shut when Morpheus replied with “Then you shall build one big enough as well.”

- Morpheus knew a lot about you, more than you’ve ever realized. He knew your favorite color, your favorite flower, your favorite scent and the type of jewelry you prefer. Fashion Thing already decorated your wardrobe with different dresses and gowns by his order. And of course, there wasn’t even one you didn’t like. Your chambers was exactly how you’d do it if you’d had a chance. You were very pleased with his attention to detail and delicate adoration to you.

- So it didn’t surprise you that he announced there will be regular dinners from now on, very shortly after you arrived. He knew how much you loved dinner times in Olympus. You were used to sitting in a big table with your loved ones and have a pleasant dinner every night while you were talking about your day. You were used to laughter, chattering and crockery noises. You deprived yourself from this simple joy since your family failed you years ago. Morpheus was adamant about giving you every possible thing that would make you happy so you want a big dinner every night? You will get a beautiful table on the tower balcony with the most beautiful view, full of palace staff and new friends, with your favorite meals and desserts. And Morpheus was going to make sure to be there at dinner every night, whatever happens. He was longing for something regular and constant with you for a long time now.

- So slowly, you started to become a family. You were grateful for his giant effort to make you fell like you are home. In a way, you were. Abel and Cain understood your importance to their lord and made sure to invite you for tea and biscuits regularly. Lucienne was the kindest to you. She already knew a lot about you but meeting you was a completely different experience. You always took great pride of fulfilling your duties so sharing this aspect really brought you closer. You couldn’t just sit around during day time so you started to help Lucienne whenever she needs, it was also helpful for you to feel like you are paying at least something back to Morpheus and his realm. You enjoyed spending time at Fiddler’s Green, it reminded you of your fallen home in a way. As someone who also lost her home, Eve was understanding towards you. Feeling anger and yearning at the same time, missing and resenting a place, starting over after a long and memorized routine were familiar issues to her. And Mervyn was secretly happy to finally have someone in the realm who would compliment his handiwork and be truly impressed by it. 

- Morpheus was careful to give you time and space, didn’t want you to feel like you have to do anything in return. He would come to spend time with you everyday, making sure you are alright and happy. If you wouldn’t ask him to stay, he would simply go on about his duties after that. But he was beyond happy when you made up a really obvious excuse that would require him to stay and tried to pretend like you didn’t do it to spend more time with him. “Fiddler’s Green is more windy than yesterday, you say? Of course I can accompany you to see if anything is out of the ordinary, my goddess.”

- This little investigation of yours to detect a sinister wind threat resulted in nothing of course but Morpheus simply created a picnic setup for you to rest after your so incredibly exhausting inspection, which lasted about 10 minutes. You enjoyed a romantic picnic with the love of your life until it was time for you to attend your duties. Morpheus didn’t miss this chance to kiss your knuckles when you were leaving to get dressed. “I thank you for spending your evening with me, my lady. And also for your very sincere concern for Fiddler’s Green’s wellbeing. I am relieved beyond words that nothing nefarious is at play about the wind.” No need to say that you acted like you didn’t catch his teasing and or his little playful smile.

- After that he started to come to you by date ideas of his own. He understood that you were open for his attention and affection, you were ready to forgive him for leaving you. You started to have long walks, sharing gifts, accidental touches. In one of the moonless nights he found you at the palace bridge and offered his hand to you. “Would you like to take a boat ride with me, my lady? Only two of us under the night sky?” The realm of humans may not have you that night but in Morpheus’ realm a bright moon was constantly adorning the night sky. You drank wine, talked a little and gazed a lot into each other's eyes under silver night lights. You were the one who couldn’t take it anymore and pulled him to kiss his lips. His arms wrapped themselves around you and pulled you to him instantly, you ended up lying at the boat floor side by side with his arm underneath your head. He was pressing your body into his between feverish kisses while his hands were sliding through your arms and shoulders. His palm was cupping your cheek a moment after, his leg between yours, his breath on your lips. “I will never let you go again my love. I cannot even bare to think of it.” You always wanted him, desired him. You craved for him for so long. Being this close, feeling his slender body pressed to yours, feeling his love and lust for you was head spinning.

- You couldn’t get enough of his lips, you wanted to kiss him forever. He was not in a different mindset at all. It came to this very suddenly and now you both felt like you couldn’t stop even if you wanted to. Heated kisses and provocative touches that’d lead both of you to a point of no return were not stopping, even for a moment. He was caressing your arm all the way down and move to your bare back, touching your skin from the open back of your dress. He was lowering his hand slowly then, touching the side of your waist, thigh and leg with a light grip. Sometimes he was losing himself in the moment and griping your leg like he was going to wrap it around his waist but he stopped himself every time, started to go up slowly from your bare leg to your waist instead. His fingers were brushing your inner leg and above, his hand was grabbing your hip, his thumb was pressing into your hip bone. But he wasn’t touching you where you wanted the most. His lips were leaving yours to dip into your neck, slowly lowering themselves to your shoulders with a trail of kisses. He kissed his way down to your cleavage, between your breasts, holding your hips when you were pressed down under him. He then pressed his knee between your legs and you openly moaned. His teeth grazed the soft part of your breast that was visible to him and his knee pressed even more. You never felt anything like this in your whole life, you felt consumed by your need of him. He never touched you like this before. But now you wanted him to touch you even more, lose his control, see him naked, him seeing you naked as well and making you his completely. For the first time you were openly letting him know that you want him. “Please Morpheus, more...”

- You heard him growl. A growl. It made you shiver when he said “I am all yours already, my love.” He started to lick your skin, bite your neck softly while breathing heavily, sucking wherever he could reach on your chest while his knee was keep pressing between your legs in a well planned rhythm. Your hands were roaming from his back to his hair, his arms, his hips to press his knee even further. His breath was so warm on your skin, you could feel your nipples were hardened under your dress, he was surely aware. You could see his hands were shaking a little with every moan you made, he was so tempted to go further, see more, feel more, taste more of you. It was so obvious by his heavy breathing, suppressed moans and growls and sudden squeezes.

- And finally, finally his shaky hand pushed your straps down and exposed your breasts to his reach. This was the first time he was seeing you half naked. You held your breath while he was gazing at your chest with an unreadable expression. Just as you were about to say his name, his lips attacked your nipple with force. He let out the loudest moan you’ve ever heard from him while sucking your nipple. His other hand started to pull the skirt of your dress up impatiently. You felt like burning, your hands were tightly holding his head on your chest. He lightly bit your other nipple when you felt his knee disappear between your legs and something else filled its place. His hand, his slender fingers were on you now. He was rubbing two of them to your most sensitive part. His breathing hitched when you gasped and he felt how wet you were. Knowing he was the first one to do this, to touch you like this, being the first one to make you want this was driving him crazy with satisfaction and pride. You were under him, you were letting him touch you like this, you wanted him. His fingers quickened while your moans were becoming louder and louder. You were not able to keep your eyes open any more, your head fell back while he was pleasuring you with growl like moans. All you could do was holding him so very close to you and repeating his name over and over again like begging him.

- You were half naked under him, being touched for the first time, seeing this side of Morpheus, this sensual, passionate version of him with no control over himself. When he said “Look at me, my love. I wish to see it.” you opened your eyes and saw his burning desire for you in his bottomless eyes. His free hand grasped your breast while his lips captured your trembling ones. Kiss was a short one because of your moaning and with few more stroke of his fingers, he brought you your first orgasm of your life. You were chanting his name like a mantra while he carried you through it all, not stopping his movements. He watched you utterly come apart under his fingers and cleaned you up while you were trying to catch your breath. 

- When he cradled you in his arms and kissed every part of your face with a beautiful smile, you thought you would feel embarrassed, shy to face him. But you weren’t. You felt like experiencing this with Morpheus was the most natural thing in the world. Of course it was going to be him, who else could it be? You smiled happily because you felt pleasure for the first time and the person that gave it to you was your first and only love, your most dear love, the very source of your desire. Only he would focus solemnly on your pleasure and make this all about your experience. You knew you had no reason to be embarrassed, he would never do anything to make you feel that way. He loved you just like you loved him. So when you turned to face him under gentle moon light and said “I love you Morpheus”, you had no doubt or fear at all. You knew the answer he was going to give you, “And I love you, so very much.”

---

Far far away, Desire was sitting in their gallery with a playful smile on their lips. “Hello little goddess” they purred, “where have you been all this time?” When they pushed Morpheus to lose control and gave in to pleasure, they were originally hoping that it would lead to a full blown sex. It was something you could regret afterwards since you were a virgin goddess for a long time and your Olympian nature might have thought you did a dishonorable thing since you two were not married. Desire’s long game was making you blame Morpheus for it so you would leave him. 

Ares might not be but Desire was happy with the outcome, nonetheless. The first pleasures, especially belong to someone who desired it for a very long time, has always been an exquisite taste.

Being the love of Lord Morpheus’ life would be like... Part 4 - “Bringing Home the Rain”

New part arrived!

Part 1, Part 2 - Additional part,  Part 3 - Additional part, Part 5

Pairing: Lord Morpheus x f!goddess!reader

tag list: @guccirosegold @wt-fxck @jesllianaquilesrolon @cabingrlandrandomcrap @emiemiemiii @aurorarevenclaw1927 @chatoicboy @sugakookieswithacupoftae16

Again thank you for your kind words and lovely support! <3

****

- Your brother Sun wanted to travel, see different realms and your sister Artemis fled to wilderness where she would feel more comfortable after you came to this realm. It was just the beginning of 1800s and you were free to explore the world. 

- It proved to be dangerous to be careless among humans very quickly. Just few days after you came to the realm, someone captured you while you were fulfilling your nightly duties. Captain of the Flying Dutchman. His main goal was to control Moon so he could raid any ship he wanted without being seen by the silver night lights. But when he managed to capture you in your weakened state, it brought him his own demise.

- There was a reason the Moon was placed so far away. Its beauty was maddening for mortal eyes and one after the other every crew member suffered from the same insanity. At the end of the 3rd night of your captivity, you were sitting on a tiny bed in captain's cabin while the ship was left to its own route and men were sitting in front of you on the ground, watching you with pure admiration in their eyes. They were not eating or drinking, they did not want to take their eyes away from you, even for blinking. Your beauty was intoxicating, all they wanted was to watch you. You managed to call to your brother from the deck at the 4th day. Half of the crew went blind by then. Sun picked you up and cursed the ship for sailing 7 seas forever. if hailed by another ship, the crew of the Flying Dutchman might send messages to land. And every ship received the same message from it: “⑉⑉Giv⑉⑉her⬳⑉back⑇⑇”

- After that you were more careful about protecting yourself against spells. You sought out Lady Johanna Constantine for a hiding spell. So humans could see and even sense you were different than them but they would not go mad because of simply looking at you. You really liked that lady, she was kind to you. You gave her some of your moon shine so she could blind her opponent if she needs it.

- You accompanied a traveling circus as a passenger, you witnessed the first Oktoberfest, rode the first steam railway locomotive and found its constant swaying entertaining, swam naked at a moonless night with French revolution era feminists as an act of freedom and got drunk with Romantic era poets while they picked you as their muse to their impromptu poetry contests. You met with so many incredible people in the first months of your ‘being human’ project.

- One beautiful night, you met with a strange man. He looked older than he was, he was poor and overwhelmed with life. While greeting you by kissing your hand “Poe” he said, “Edgar Allan Poe.” He told you he had a sickness and he was supposed to die years ago, you told him the same thing. “Would you believe sir, if I would tell you Death is an old friend and Dream is an old lover?” He wrote you a beautiful poem hours after. But when he turned to ask your name to dedicate it to you, you were gone. He named it “Annabel Lee”. 

- That poem was the key for Morpheus to find you. He even visited the ghost ship, he left even more furious when he learned 10 men sat around you and watched you like creeps. To think you would be scared in this new realm and him not being there to protect you was maddening. (You were not scared, it was just such a weird experience for you.) He saw you in the writer’s dream, he fell in love with you all over again. He saw tears in your eyes when you told Poe,"I loved him fully, devoted, painfully. I have loved to the point which is called madness by humans, that which to me is the only sensible way to love.” That was the night he missed your scent the most, he remembered the same tears falling from your eyes the night he left. His sister Despair was never been more satisfied in eons while his big brother’s tears were falling for you.

- You were certain that he forgot about you centuries ago. You were afraid to hear anything about him because any news would be about his new life, new love, new anything. Anything that does not have a place for you in it any more. But after only few months on human realm, you proven very wrong. After more than 500 years of not seeing you, Morpheus found you.

- You were doing your nightly duties when it happened. You were in a little childs room, he was trying to learn a magic rope trick so he could perform it in front of his crush to impress her. He was always having a hard time at the 4th step of the trick so without even noticing you were imitating hand movements that he should follow. At that moment you felt a presence with you in the room. You thought it was probably your brother since he had a habit of visiting you when he was not on duty so before the other being could say anything you shushed them quickly. You were so focused on the little boy. You both managed to do the right set of hand movements synchronously and he finally succeeded the trick. You were so proud of him. Without turning around, while smiling you said “Sorry, we just worked very hard for this. It has been weeks since we wer-” “Y/N”

- Your heart stopped and everything went still for a moment. You could recognize his voice anywhere. You felt like fainting. It was him. Morpheus was right behind you. After years of longing for him, missing him, you were scared to turn around and face him. You didn’t know how you were going to react. What would you do when you face him, look into his eyes, his heavenly face? Would you kiss him, hug him, slap him across the face? You realized you were trembling. “Will you not even grant me the sight of your face?”

- You tried to stay as calm and collected as you could and slowly turned to him. You kept your eyes down so you wouldn’t break down with a mere sight of his eyes. Also you didn’t want him to see tears were filling your eyes. You made a small bow to him and greet him as “Lord Morpheus”

- His heart ached with hearing your voice, saying his name once again. It was too formal for his liking but he knew better than push his chance at the moment. He took few steps towards you, he would’ve taken more if you would let him. He looked at the happy little boy, clueless about two eternal beings in his room. “Is he one of your favorites?” You tried not to sound breathless or shaken. “He has kindness in him. A good hearted boy.” Morpheus turned to you once again. He was holding himself with every fiber of his being from closing the distance between you two to embrace you, feel you there, in his arms, hold your face in his hands and leave bruising kisses, bury his face in your neck and take endless breaths full of your scent, envelope your hands, get down on his knees and hug your waist and cry and cry and cry. Knowing you are here with him now. He would patiently kiss every strand of hair you had. 

- He took few steps more towards you and he was right there, right in front of you. “Look at me Y/N. Please. I only ask of you this.” You knew you were going to break down. Even after he left you, chose his ego over your love, threated to destroy your home and family, he still owned your heart. While you were slowly raising your eyes to meet his, you were silently praying you wouldn’t collapse to the ground in hysteric sobs. And finally, after years of excruciating pain you finally met with your lover’s eyes. 

- There was no easy word to describe how you felt. His unruly, jet black hair, his white silk skin, his delicate pink lips, his mesmerising eyes, deeper than any ocean. He was still looking like he was created by the hand of the most talented artist. He was looking at you with the same intense, burning, desperate eyes. His breathing was heavy, you could feel the warmth of it on your skin. He was so close. You wanted to avert your eyes, not to give in. He caused you so much suffering. But you couldn’t stop looking at him. His magnetic field was undefiable. You didn’t even realize you were crying until he wiped some of your tears gently with a brush of thumb. After his fingers touched you, you couldn’t bare to be apart from him any more. 

- “Morpheus..” “My love..” You collapsed in his arms with heavy sobs. Your trembling hands grasped his shirt firmly. After too many years apart, you once again put your head on his chest and breathe in his scent. Your love, your dream, your home. He cradled you instantly. He wrapped his arms around you and let you hide in his embrace with his lips on your forehead. Pulling you more and more to him while also holding your weight. He buried his face into your neck, pulling you impossibly close to himself and you felt him tremble. His tears were falling on to your shoulder while yours were leaving stains on his garment. He left hurried little kisses on your neck between tears. You wrapped your arms around his waist and tighten your hold. You were never wanting to be farther away than this to him, ever again. You sneaked your hand up, higher from his back, over his shoulder blades and finally to his shoulders, pulled him even closer. This time you buried your nose to his neck. Inhaling deeply, leaving gentle kisses on his skin. You could hear his breathing falter with every little kiss you gave. He was repeating like a mantra; “My love.”

- You had too much to talk, too much to overcome. Too much to forgive. But before all that, he gripped your hand and took both of you to The Dreaming and hold you as long as you accepted him. Your tears mixed together when your foreheads rested against each other. He kissed your cheeks, your forehead, your temples, your eyes, your hands, your neck but not your lips. He knew he had to wait for your permission for that and you were going to need time to forgive him. But he was patient, he could wait for an eternity. You were there, in his realm, in his arms. “I have missed you so very much, my love. So unbearably much.” 

- After hours or days maybe, he took you by your hand and directed you to the balcony of his chambers. Sun was shining brightly in the realm and it was so peaceful. He showed you with a shy smile that every building and structure he created for you as a wedding gift was still standing. Unlike what you have thought before, his realm had even more additions reminding you now. He showed you carvings he made of you around the palace, around the realm. He showed you your own spectacular chambers, waiting for decades for you to arrive. He showed you a shrine and a temple in your name in the realm. When you were apart he did everything he could to feel you close, to make you a part of his realm, a part of his existence. 

- Lucienne and Mervyn were working around clock since Olympus was fallen. Different plans for different structures were stacking up on their desks from their lord. Lord of Dreams were adamant about everything was to be finished and was to be perfect before your arrival. Mervyn had to dismantle a small mountain, a boathouse and a mill to open space for a giant lilac willow tree that you could see from your own balcony. He complained during it all.

- Your lover had no intention of letting you go, ever again. “I have to let my brother and sister know that I am-” “My ravens can take care of that.” “I have to get my clothes from-” “I already ordered Fashion Thing to make you whatever you wish for.” “I have to attend my duties.” “Then I shall accompany you.” “I missed my visit to my new friend Lord Byron.” “Good. He had enough dreams about you already.”

- You told him that your dear pendant he gave you was destroyed with your home, he created a ring with a shining moon stone for you to wear so he could locate you any time, anywhere while you were attending your duties away from The Dreaming. He made you promise not to take it off, ever. If anyone would ever try to forcefully take it off from your finger, Morpheus would know about it. “I will not lose you again, my love. If anyone dares to take you away from me, I will be there to stop them.”

- He was going to make this right this time. He was going to court you again, he was going to earn your forgiveness. He was going to take you to a boat ride at the beautiful lake, bring the most delicious food you can taste, drink wine with you and read poems from his library, adorn everywhere with your favorite flower, let you win every argument, bear your pain and anger, visit every single one of your favorite artists to inspire them to achieve greatness, welcome your brother and sister to his realm for a feast, all in the good time. But for now, it was time for you to meet with the palace staff who were so eager to finally meet you.

*** What you didn’t know was someone else didn’t forget about you either. Ares, God of War was managed to escape from the fall of Olympus as well and with you by his side, he was planning to become the new king of the new Olympus. Shattered shadow of a once great kingdom in the hands of a blood thirsty god. He did not love you but during times like this, political moves were bound to be taken. You were once been promised to him. Having you would be the key to success. He only needs to find a way or an ally to take you from Morpheus.

“My my, such fire in that blood red heart, hmm? If only there was someone who could give you anything you desire.”

Please leave a comment, I love hearing from u <3

- The end began with the beginning. The sacred trees that gave Olympus its true power, the ones carry yours and your brothers powers within them started to shine less brightly. No one noticed it at the beginning, your brothers tree was still enough to light up the realm. But during nights, your starry tree, the symbol of you was not keen as before to guide residents in the darkness.

- It has been years since you consider Olympus as a happy home for you. You were a prisoner of this beautiful land but you lost your bond to it the moment you had to sacrifice your happiness to protect its self-indulgent residents. You stopped taking responsibility in local businesses and focused solemnly on humanity. Your only confidants were your younger brother Sun, Helios and your a-year younger sister Artemis. Her independent nature and calming effect had brought you closer to her in years. They knew about your pain, your anger, your heartbreak and they did everything they could to comfort you. But pain was still there.

- You were missing him. Even after nearly a decade you were still missing him. Worse part was 10 years for you meant more than 500 years for him. It was painful for you to even dare to wonder if he was still remembering who you were. Beautiful structures carrying your memory were all gone. Maybe he was wedded now, has children even. Happy with his new wife, not even thinking about you, not even once. That thought pierced into your heart like a piece of glass. You always felt like a rotting tree, a piece belonged to the past, unable to move forward to reach him again, end this scorching pain whenever you think of him. You could not even have hope, who would still love someone after 500 years?

- “We would have known if he was wedded. He would do anything to let you know” Artemis would say. In these past 10 years, you became something more other than yourself. You were resentful to gods and goddesses for not helping you, for turning a blind eye. They were already seeing your precious humanity as their entertainment, their play things. But contributing to your suffering was the final point. They became vain creatures in your eyes and you became a formidable force that they fear. Even your father Zeus was avoiding conflict with you. You could drown his thunders and lightnings with your vast, unforgiving darkness now. You learned from pain and you gained from it.

- You could hear about him from time to time. You knew he had a new raven, you knew he went to a family dinner, you knew he inspired Shakespeare to write a play and invited everyone other than you to see it. 

- The end began with him. Nearly after 10 years you heard his voice again. You were resting in your chambers, eyes closed. Everything was silent. Until his velvet voice filled your mind, clear as a day, full of urgency and worry: ‘Get out. Now.’ Your eyes shot open and you got out of your bed immediately. You did not know what was happening but you could sense from his voice that it was a matter of life and death. You ran from your chambers to the main hall to see what was happening. What you saw was the apocalypse for Olympus. Your sacred trees were falling down, almost screaming while doing it. A moment later screams filled everywhere. 

- You looked around in panic to see where your brother and sister were while the tower you resided crumbled loudly. If you were not got out of it early... Olympians were running to their homes and loved ones in this tiny island in the sky. There was nowhere to run. Any being who had the ability to fly was leaving the realm. Everything was crumbling. Golden petals from your brothers tree were flowing in the air like rain. That was the magnificent end of Olympus. 

- Artemis grabbed your arm and started to drag you in the direction to your chariot. “Sun already went to his chariot. I told him I could find you easier than him. We must go, now!” You ran to east together. While running, every Olympian was colliding in you, trying to find shelter against falling rocks and cracking ground. You managed to reach your chariot just about the barn  was falling apart on it. Artemis whistled to your agitated horses and with hearing the Goddess of the Nature’s call they got into formation quickly. You both got in and you ordered them to rear up. You left the ground in no time and started to roam upwards. You could see your brother riding his chariot from the other side of the island. The moment his chariot left the ground as well, Olympus collapsed within and started to fall into the darkness. Screams were fading while you were rising into the night and they were going lower and lower in the vast of emptiness.

- You finally met with your brother in the middle and watched your once home completely destroyed. It began to disappear into the depths of space. This was the first time you roamed the road your duty requires with your brother next to you. It was your first full day and night outside, just like prophesied by Fates. Humanity called it ‘unexpected solar eclipse’. 

- The Fates were right, you were the end of Olympus. They made you stop loving your home and your love for it was a much needed force to keep it alive. If your father could be wise enough he could understand, the end was not going to come because you left the realm, you were going to be forced to leave the realm because it was fallen.

- Now there was only one place you can go. You had to go to the realm of humans and start a new life. You looked at each other and for the first time in 10 years you felt free.

- Far far away in The Dreaming Morpheus was beyond relieved to see you made it out safely. He was watching from his raven’s eyes, your hair was flowing just as he remembered. He smiled, really smiled for the first time in 500 years. Residents of the realm was surprised to see their permanent sight of the night with full moon left it’s place to bright sunshine.

- Lucienne lifted her head and looked outside of her library, smiling. Her master was not grieving any more. The Lady of the Dreaming was free. She witnessed his lord’s suffering for so long, for the first time in centuries she felt excited. Excited to see her master happy and meet the love of his life, Lady Y/N. At the same moment Lord Morpheus barged in the library, faster than he ever walked in. “Lucienne, I need you to prepare the palace. I want it to look as magnificent as it can be. I am giving every permission to Mervyn in advance. We are going to have very dear guests to me, very soon.”

Again thank you for your kind words and lovely support! <3

- You waited 7 days before calling out to him, you thought that’d be an appropriate time. You did not know it was nearly a year for him since time works the same with humans for him. When he came and closed the distance with quick steps between you, he had a desperate look on his face. Stopped few inches away from you and you could see he was physically holding back from reaching you. “I thought you did not want me to come. I thought you forgot.” You raised your hand and put it on his soft cheek. “How can I ever forget about you, my love?” He closed his eyes and tilted his head so he was pressing his cheek into your hand. “You did not call out to me for a year.” You wouldn’t say his eyes were teary but they were definitely reddened and glassy now. “Time goes differently for me. I did not know how it goes by for you.” You got closer to him and put your forehead on his cheek. “I apologize my Lord, please forgive me for being ignorant about this matter.” With a sudden movement he wrapped his arms around your waist and positioned his face at the crook of your neck. He inhaled deeply few times while one arm around your waist holding you close and the other reaching from underneath your arm to the back of your head to press you even more into him. “I have missed you so very much.”

- You held each other for hours. He kissed your hands, your cheeks, your forehead, the crook of your neck, your eyes, the side of your mouth. He kissed a strand lock of your hair and your palms with desperate eyes. With each kiss you could feel more and more how strong his love is, how different than the type of love you witnessed with mortals. His love was engulfing, all-encompassing, nearly solid enough to touch, more vigorous than any fire or storm. 

- “I wish to give you a gift in order to show you how upset I am for upsetting you, my lord.” You closed the gap between you and hesitantly gave him a peck on the lips. It was so light, so short that you wondered if you simply imagined that you did it. But his lips on yours a moment later, hand cradling your neck and arm pulling you to him strongly was no imagination. You were leaning backwards with the force of his kiss and he was leaning in to kiss you even deeper. Whenever you felt like it is ending, he was prolonging it once again. “This is the most precious gift I have ever received, my love. I will cherish it until the end of all times.”

- After hours of talking, understanding time differences and any other matter which could cause a problem for the precious time you can spend together, he started courting you, openly. He started to visit Olympus everyday, bringing gifts and stories to you. Taking long walks in Olympus’ magnificent gardens together, having picnics near waterfalls flowing down to the abyss of space under Olympus. 

- Gods and goddesses began to see him as a familiar face and whenever he came they would greet him. Your brother Sun joking about being his brother-in-law and Morpheus not correcting him, instead secretly enjoying that your family accepted him. Some of your jealous distant relatives trying to get his attention away from you with flirting, gift giving and seductive offers but Morpheus always declining such offers with a simple statement: “The only precious gift I wished from this realm is now belongs to me. I have no need for more.”

- Talking about poets, bards and playwrights, trying to convince each other about which one will has a brighter future. He preferred Aeschylus but you liked Euripides more. “That is because you hold actions above words when it comes to love, my moon and stars.” Morpheus would say.

- Shortly after that he inspired Sophocles to write a beautiful play about two lovers and invited all Olympus to see it at Athens. At the second act the protagonist sang a beautiful song about silver Moon’s grace and beauty. Your brother gave you an amused side look while smirking.

- Cassandra, the pour priestess your cruel uncle Apollo cursed to utter true prophecies but never to be believed, was there too. She came to you after the play, “My lady, please, I beg of you, you have to be ready. Your blissful heaven will leave its place to a gloomy darkness, very soon.” She was gone as fast as she came and you were quick to dismiss what she just told you. Almost like you already forgot about it.

- You were together for more than 50 years according to Morpheus’ time, he told you on your first anniversary according to your time with a soft smile. “Then we missed more than 50 occasions we could celebrate, my love.” You were walking in the breathtaking gardens of your home which was the inspiration for mortals Hanging Gardens of Babylon, with your lover, hand in hand. Everything was better when he was there. He stopped you underneath a lilac willow tree and looked you deep in the eyes. “I want to show you something. Would you come with me to The Dreaming for a moment my love?” After you accepted the offer, he poured his sand around both of you and in no time you were standing in front of the main bridge which was leading to his castle. But it was quite different than you remembered it. 

- “Your castle... It resembles my-” “Your family’s castle. You are right. Also I want you to look at the rest of the realm. Turn around my love, I want you to see the hanging gardens next to the gates and the planning of new settlements around the lake.” You could not believe your eyes. His realm was adorned with a lot of amazing landscapes that you know from your home. You rarely been able to visit The Dreaming but now it looks so familiar, like a home to you. You felt his arm wrapping itself around your waist to turn you to him. He gave you a little kiss before starting to speak. “I want you to feel comfortable when you move here. I do not wish for you to feel far away from home, alone in a stranger land. Think of this as my wedding gift to you.” Your eyes watered while he pulled up a beautiful pendant with a silver moon stone shining beautifully. You bow your head as an act of acceptance to both the offer and the offering before he put it around your neck. “I wish nothing more than you, my lord.” “Then you will have everything you wish for, my queen.”

- Tonight was the celebration night in Olympus for your engagement. Everyone was coming together, laughing and enjoying endless foods and drinks in gardens. Many beings from different realms were invited as well. 

- Morpheus offered you a chalice of wine and held your wandering hand with a soft smile on his lips. Adoring look he gave you was breathtaking. “I cannot wait to call you my wife.” “I did not know we had to wait until our wedding, my lord.” You were being playful but you also couldn’t wait to be wed to him in the Dreaming and being his wife. “I thought you believed actions are more important than words, my love. Therefore I should not simply call you ‘my wife’ but I must make you ‘my wife’ and make you feel it as well. That, I believe, requires an official wedding in your customs.” While you were nearly choking on your wine, he smirked and turned his eyes away from yours as a merciful act. He did not miss your dark red cheeks and heavy breaths.

- As the Lord of Dreams he had more diplomatic duties than you which means more greetings, conversations. While you were drinking honey wine and looking over your family having the time of their lives one voice distracted you from them. “Greetings Lady Y/N, I congratulate you for your engagement. I wish to speak with you if I may.”

- Calliope. Young muse with a wounding past with Morpheus. You knew her name and you remember the night their son went into Hades. You remember how he never fully be able to come back. You always felt compassion for her because of her unfortunate fate. “Greetings young muse, please speak freely. You will not be harmed by me, ever.” “You tried to save my son by making him stray from the road to Hades with your darkness. I never forgotten this. Please heed my words my Lady, an Endless can have many admirable qualities but compassion is not one of them. Never find yourself in a position of needing him for help.” You knew her suffering, her pain. You understood her. “You do not have to worry about me Calliope. Also one changes in time, change is constant. No one can outrun it, even an Endless.” “I already said more than I should have. I wish you a blissful marriage Lady Y/N, fortune be with you.” And with that, she was gone.

- Just few moments later your brother came running to you with a confused look on his face. “Father is requesting your presence my sister. Immediately he says.” He looked unsettled, like something that should not be happening was ahead. Something uncanny.

- Your worry made you walk faster to the main hall where everyone was gathered. You walked among the crowd to reach in front of your fathers throne. There were three women behind him, you never saw them before. They look like the same woman but they’re separated in three almost. Your father had a sorrowful look in his eyes, like he was pleading with you, trying to make you understand how sad he was for what was to come. With a simple gesture of hand he made everyone go quite.

- “We have witnessed accomplishments of my dear daughter during our centuries long journey. She led us into battles and brought us victory against titans. She fueled humanity to go further, be better, heal their wounds at the darkness. She is my greatest treasure and pride. My moon and stars.” He had a bitter smile in his lips. After taking a moment he started again. “Her shine did not go unnoticed by even faiths. Ladies of life threads made a visit to this celebration and informed me that I am at a crossroads myself. Hekate told me the prophecy for my daughter, “She will spend her first full day and night outside when the Olympus falls. Her steps will follow the spilled blood of your daughters and sons.” To protect our kingdom, our family and my dear daughter, I decided to wed her with the only god who can protect her from any harm; Ares the God of War will have my daughters hand for a blissful marriage with these words of mine.”

- You could not believe what you just heard. Everyone was silently looking at you, waiting for you to say something. Since you did not say anything crowd started to clap awkwardly. You turned to Morpheus in shock, he looked like he was about to burn Olympus to the ground while his eyes were getting darker. His deep voice sound poisonous when he spoke and cut through confused claps. “You dare... You dare challenging one such as I and take what is mine? Do you think of yourself strong enough to stand against me Zeus? Do you think of Olympus safe enough to keep you or anyone from my reach?” You ran to his side and tried to turn his attention to yourself but Morpheus did not even acknowledged you. He freed his arm from your grasp easily and started to walk to your father. “I will bury you and everyone else in Olympus to Hell. You will experience such torments you will no longer even remember what being pain free felt like.”

- For the first time in your life, you were terrified of your lover, your soon-to-be husband. You went to him again, “Morpheus please, I beg you to stop. Please, listen to me, please” This was the first time he made you cry. His anger was burning you. When he turned to you, you could not even recognize his eyes. “You wish for me to stop? You rather stand with a conceited family that I had to endure in sake of you instead of me?” “I love you, I wish to be yours. We can find an another solution to this. You- you do not need to harm them.” He turned to your father with a disgusted look in his eyes and spoke with a voice so cold you actually shivered. “Your father transgressed my authority and defied me. I cannot let it go unpunished.”

- “He is trying to protect his kingdom. Please, he is my father.” “Even so.” His coldness and cruelty horrified you. He was speaking of condemning your father, family and every being in your realm to Hell and destroying your home out of spite. Even after you offered to find a solution, even after you said you wish to be with him. Even after you told him it is unnecessary to harm anyone, he still decided to do it. For the last time you tried again. “My love, my heart and soul is yours. Please, help me in finding an another way and let us not carry the burden of my family's mistake. I beg you to stop if you ever loved me truly.”

- “...No.”

- His love was not bigger than his pride. He did not love you enough to show mercy, enough to swallow his resentment and not break your heart. He was willing to destroy everything and everyone that made you yourself, not to be with you but to mend his bruised ego. You finally understood what his love was; a need to possess that destroys the rest of your being. He could love you as long as it suits him but he would destroy your heart if what you want or need was in contrast to his. And this terrified you. Love was putting the other one before you, not subjecting them to this pain because of your own desire. 

- “Then I, Lady Y/n, The Goddess of Moon, Night and Stars committing myself to chastity vow. No one, not even an Endless can take action against such a vow. I am untouched and I will remain this way until the end of Olympus’ time. I will not marry a man, god nor an Endless. Therefore there will be consequences for harming Olympus in the name of answering a direct threat against you because from now on, you do not have anyone who is yours in this realm.”

- Morpheus watched you speak with his eyes burning with pain, anger and despair. Coldness in your voice pierced his heart like a knife. He wanted to reach you, make you stop committing to that binding vow, claim your lips and hug your waist and bury his nose into your neck. And finally he understood he will not be able to do any of that, not any more. You were looking at him with tears falling from your eyes and he could see you were afraid of him. You felt betrayed by him and your heart was closed to him from now on. He did not say anything, he simply left.

- After that night, gloomy darkness began. You kept your pain, anger, suffering inside of your heart. You never forgave your father. You became colder, harsher, stronger. You committed yourself to your duties, your only focus was humanity. No man were brave enough to get close to you, they were still afraid of the Dream Lord. You hid the pendant he gave you, he brought so much pain to you. You carried the wound in your heart, hid it, used it as a reminder to never need anyone else other than yourself. Years started to pass. ‘They are passing even faster for him’ you would think to yourself, ‘He surely forgot about me a long time ago.’

- Of course you did not realize there was one additional resident in your realm since that night, a beautiful raven which made its duty to watch you all the time. Or did not know the night sky with a beautiful, bright moon was the constant sight in The Dreaming since. You had no idea about the buildings that you thought were destroyed because they reminded him of you turned into places that Morpheus holds the most dear in his realm.

- He would let you know his presence from time to time. He would give hinting dreams to humans who were in a habit of telling them to you. A song of longing would come to an artist who always works at night. A military tactic based on a dream of an army man would let you know where the danger is. You knew you had to be patient, you had to be silent, until Olympus is no more. From time to time you would held the pendant in your hands and let your tears fall. While you would sob silently in your bed, the raven would watch you while feeling his masters agony far far away. Shedding the same tears with you in the privacy of his throne room. 

- While Fates were watching your shared suffering they would whisper to each other. “If only they knew how close it is sister-self.” “They are waiting for each other for so long. It is time to say goodbye to lovely Olympus now.” “Yes sister-self, let’s get to the next chapter with these two.”

I just read your Morpheus x Reader story and just wanted to let you know that you're a fantastic author with brilliant works!

I'm struggling to process how anyone could craft such a story while combining so many different mythologies and characters and well, frankly, you're amazing and deserve all the support in the world.

I would love it if you would like to talk sometime, we could maybe discuss some Morpheus stories/ideas, but no pressure.

Just- yes. I love your writing. I, and I'm sure many others, would love a part 3 and onwards.

Thank you!

Omggg thank you soo much! Reading such kind words made me so happy. I love combining different things I love when I write and the lore of the Sandman is so rich. I’m just trying to write something I would enjoy reading :)

I would love to talk whenever you want! Thank you for leaving feedback, it is actually very helpful to me. It makes me understand what is good or bad about my writing. Glad you enjoyed it!

- “Were my eyes deceiving me or my dear sister was nearly kissing the Dream of the Endless?” Of course your younger brother Sun saw it. He landed in the balcony you currently were with a boyish smile on his young face. His bubbly personality was one of your favorite qualities of him. 

- “Do you not have a journey to have Helios?” “Do we have to call him the Groom of the Endless or The Lord of Wedding Bells now?” “Attend your duties right away!!” Soft chuckle came behind you when you started to walk to your chambers faster than you need.

- “I will ask for fire unicorns for my chariot as a wedding offering!”

- By the time you reached to your chambers your handmaiden was ready to help you with your silver garment. While she was preparing you for your rest you could not wipe the lovestruck smile from your lips. “Enjoyable night, my lady?” “It was quite unexpected but yes, enjoyable night.”

- As a goddess you were not sleeping like mortals. It would take much more tiredness to put you to sleep. It was beneficial until now since you had many responsibilities but right now all you wanted was to sleep and unite with your lover again. Well, almost. A part of you was a little shy and scared about reaching out to him too soon. You were not experienced in the art of love but as your older cousin Aphrodite would always say; “A lady should never be too eager. Keeping one waiting is always better than to be kept waiting.” 

- But how long should you wait? You could not measure it by humans since their lifespan is too short to compare to yours. If you would call to him tomorrow would it be too soon? Too late? Also time was flowing differently than the mortal realm in Olympus. 7 days for you was a year for a human. You did not know how time works for Morpheus. Was it like your realm? Was is like humans?

- You were lying in your made of clouds bed and thinking about all of this while early hours of the day passed. And of course, your free time came to an end. A loud knock on your door made you get out of your bed. “Lady Y/N, God Ares requests your presence to discuss further strategies after the fall of Troy!” 

- Ares was a bloodthirsty, cruel and violent god but he was the best warrior in Olympus. During your meetings to discuss how to handle threats, war calls or strategic moves his first reaction was to “make them pay with their last drop of blood!!!” You would sigh silently and try to persuade him for a more diplomatic and actually strategic approach.

- Your duty during noon would be meeting with your father and greeting visitors from different realms. There were many gods and goddesses in Olympus who were co-operating their businesses with other beings from other realms. Today, it was Asgardians who were visiting. “All-father Odin, me and my daughter Y/N greet you to Olympus.” “Welcome to our realm All-father, please enjoy the opportunities we provide. Since your last visit wine production has started from our Magdine vineyards. Let us all drink a cup before we start discussing how to handle the situation of your defector royal who took refuge in our realm.”

- “Aye. Thank you for your kind offer Lady Y/N. Me and my father would be honored. We will talk this matter after having a one cup of wine indeed.” After 58 cups of wine and some generous gifts they were happy to leave the poor royal in your realm without a fuss.

- “My lady there are two residents who cannot come to an agreement about their properties. They wish to see you.” “Very well messenger, let them in.” Two grumpy, old men barged in to your hall and immediately started screaming. “I planted that strawberry field myself, 5 centuries ago! It must remain on my garden!” The other was not far behind on screaming. “But you ran away to Asgard after a minx! I cared for it for centuries. I watered it, I pruned it! It is my right to have it!” 

- You created a miniature of the strawberry field with a flicker of your hand. “Gentlemen, you may mark your parts on this to claim your right on the strawberry field. But whoever chooses a bigger part than the other, the bigger part will be the other's.” After few minutes of bickering both of them decided to share it 50/50. And of course in your little free time your mind went to Morpheus’ voice and beautiful eyes just until your guard yelled “Next!” to waiting residents with local issues.

- Your dinner time finally came and just as you knew whould happen your cousins surrounded you. “Your dress for last night celebration was very simple. Almost dull I might say.” Of course Aphrodite was going to be the first. Not like she disliked you but someone else being preferred instead of her was something she cannot handle well. “I was surprised Lord of Dreams even noticed you.” came from an another. “I did not even realize you were at the festivities myself!” You calmly continue with your dinner while shutting everyone up with “Then how come all of you were focused on me?”

- After a quick trip to your chambers and your handmaiden putting your silver duty dress made by moonshine on you, it was time for you attend your nightly duties. You greeted your brother Sun while he was returning from his duty and you began your own.

- “Good night Moon!” A little boy hugging his wooden bear said while closing his eyes. You caress his head with a promise of fortune to him. “Good night sweet child.”

- A bard sang a song to you as you sat and listened. You did not like the rhyming very much but you blessed him anyway.

- A poet was struggling with words and read different versions of it to you, you whispered to him that you liked the second one the best. 

- An orphan told you you were her best friend in this big, scary world with tears in her eyes. You kissed her forehead with tears in your eyes as well.

- An alchemist dedicated the new element he found to you, named it “moon stone.”

- Two lovers met secretly by the river and admired you while holding each other. You smiled at them, covered them with your darkness while they were lying on the grass naked.

- An old man died in his sleep. You watched kind Death helped him to cross over. You saluted one another with a smile. “Always good to see you Y/N.” “And always good to see you Death. May the fortune be with you.”

- “Perhaps you would be gracious enough to accompany me for a chalice of wine my lady?” Such a direct proposal would usually considered as crossing the line but since he was a much higher being than you, odds of saying “no” to him seemed impossible. “I can be my lord, only if you would be indulgent enough to tell how a strange idea such as a wooden horse changed the course of events.” He grabbed one of the empty chalices on the table and turned to you with a coy smile. “Very well, let us enjoy each others stories then.” 

- He knew more that you do, that was evident. The way he looked at you, the way he was so confident around you make you feel relaxed for the first time in your life. You were the commander of the Olympus army and you had to take care of too many things. Being around someone who is as responsible as you are was a new thing for you. 

- You poured him wine as well and you sat at one of many balconies of your giant family castle. It suddenly felt so domestic to you, pouring him wine while he was also holding yours for you to fill it as well. You could see everyone laughing and enjoying their night from the distance of silence and calm night sky. You could hear sweet melodies filling the air, joyful tunes coming from your talented relatives instruments. You could feel his engulfing, burning gaze on you.

- “An Endless rarely grace their presence to our festivities my Lord. Is there a reason you are here?” “Yes, there is.” “Is it more than enjoying our hospitality during a victorious night?” His eyes seemed brighter for a second. You could see that ghost of a smile returned to his beautiful lips. “I’m pleased to say yes my lady, it is much more than that.”

-Of course you did not know Morpheus knew who you were since long ago, since his older brother visited you. You had no idea how many times he protected you against your enemies, ill intended suitors, jealous family members who wished for your demise. Wishing to feel your touch when you caress kids heads to say good night and getting furious over secret dreams of some gods who were placing you as their object of desire. And nightmares they had to endure afterwards.

- You were so very clearly belong to him. He waited nearly a century to be invited in Olympus and finally had a chance to meet you. He inspired many art lovers to devote their pieces to you to honor you. He created dreams with many resemblances of you even without noticing.

- “I understood all that but why a horse my lord? Why not a magnificent beast instead? That’d surely made Troy except it much more eagerly.” “I disagree. A gift that spectacular would not carry the notion of crushing defeat which was needed to convince Troy.” Of course he was right. While you were amazed by his shrewd intelligence he added with a shrug: “Also I rather enjoy horses more than beasts.”

- “Socrates is not a madman. He might be peculiar but his mind is far beyond than his mortal ages. Mortals think of him as a fool but I do believe he will leave his mark in history.” Morpheus seemed very proud of his discovery in Socrates. He was also happy that you knew who he was and equally impressed by his mind. After a brief silence you caught him off guard for the first time that night. 

- “You are quite different than your siblings my lord.” “... Have you met them?” “One can see many things if she looks into the night. I saw behind close doors, privacy of chambers. I’m familiar with their handywork.” Morpheus looked a little tense since you were choosing your words very carefully not to give him a direction about where you were leading this conversation. “And how am I different than them, my lady?” You could see his main worry was you being afraid of him. He knew his position, as an Endless his family was respected but also feared. 

- “You have a raven, always had one. It is safe to assume they are residing in your realm, therefore you may most probably have other beings which occupy it as well since you called it a ‘kingdom’. Death cannot have any since her lands nature, Desire is incapable of taking care of any other but themselves, Despair would not want a company, Delirium is not dependable or responsible enough for it, again since her nature, Destruction is bothered by systems or order so he would not prefer inhabitance. If Destiny had any, that would not because of his wish but because he must. Therefore by this educated guess; I think we can safely assume you are the only Endless who welcomes residents in their realm. Am I mistaken, my lord?”

- For the first time in centuries Lord Morpheus, Dream of the Endless, Ruler of dreams and nightmare realms was speechless. He knew you were wise but he could not even imagine you could make such a solid deduction based on the little information at hand about the Endless.

- “Do not misunderstand me, my lord, I think this is an admirable difference you have in comparison with your siblings. It pleases me to know you have such care and responsibility for other beings as much as I do if not more.” Now you had a coy smile, knowing you stunned him with your sharp wit. For a moment you were afraid he will walk away but instead his eyes shone and he spoke with a graceful smile: “I knew the Lady of the Moon was wise but I must confess even I could not have foreseen this much.”

- While he was drinking honey wine with you in that magnificent balcony, for the first time in his existence he felt like he found a lover who holds the same values as him. Unbending responsibility to their duties, understanding their reason of existence. Someone who’d not want him to abandon all of his responsibilities for her love but instead would love him even more for his work and how passionately he does it. Someone who would love and respect him not because of the love he gives to her, but also for the love he gives to his purpose. While sitting in front of him for the first time in your life you felt shy. He wasn’t just looking at you, it felt like he was seeing through you.

- Words started to come easier after you knew you earned his respect. Not only for your beauty but also because of your mind. In a short time you found yourself excitedly opening up to him about your admiration to the famous dream of Gudea, Sumerian priest king which he was so touched by it he told everyone and even recorded it in cuneiform. Morpheus was trying to stay stoic but you could understand he was flattered by his slightly reddened cheeks.

- “I thank you, my lord. For helping humanity to avoid their demise.” He raised an eyebrow with a coy smile to your comment. “My family forgotten the difference between shiny and bright. They only care shiny trinkets, not the brightness of soul.” He stayed silent because he knew that’d make you turn to face him once more. And you did. “I’d grant every wish for you, my lady. Think of it as an act of gratitude for your grace. Sleep always comes easier at night, therefore I work much more satisfied with you by my side.” 

- There was nothing inappropriate, excessive or provocative in his words but somehow they affected you in a way you never felt before. His every word had an underlying meaning, a hidden whisper was surrounding them. You wanted to ask what he means, ask how he’s doing this. Instead you smiled politely and thanked him for his kind words, “My lord is being too kind for a mere goddess such as I.”

- He knew you were destined to love him as he was to love you. No worry or doubt had any place between you and him. So he did not have a single reservation while he raised his hand and caress your cheek. His fingers barely touched you and yet it felt like his touch was the most familiar thing. So right, so warm, so habitual. You closed your eyes while your fingers were holding your cup a little bit tighter. His finger went down from your cheek to your neck, caressed your collarbone along the way. They continued their journey to your shoulder, going down slowly by your arm and finally enveloping your hand gently. You forced yourself to open your eyes when you heard him speaking again.

- “I cannot allow you to call yourself that while you leave everyone else in the dark with your brightness and guiding me in the darkness just like the moon.” His voice, his words, his touch were so intense. You felt you were drowning in them. You held his hand in yours and you knew you were in love. You were in love with him for a very long time. You were just waiting for him to come to you. 

- When music finally ended and crowd let themselves rest on soft grass in their drunken state, you were in a deep conversation about a young writer, Sophocles. You were the one who made Morpheus aware of the young mans talent and passion to create stories. He promised you that he’ll pay him a visit following night and inspire him to create masterpieces. You were so proud of him since he was one of your favorite humans. He would always write at night and had a habit of reading them to the moon. You did not know that Morpheus was the happiest in eons that night. For the first time one of his lovers was directly contributing to his work, inspiring him.

- While you were sitting together, holding hands and gazing into each others eyes, talking for hours, you knew you were belong to each other. It was such a comforting feeling, being enveloped by a gentle love. 

- When the night came to an end and it was time for him to go back to the Dreaming he kissed your hand so gently and yet passionately. For the first time in your life you felt the yearning to go with him, not to be apart from someone. His hand reached to your face and caress your cheek again. He pulled you impossibly close to him by your neck, you could feel his hot breath on your lips. You wanted him to close the gap and give you the first kiss of your existence. Of course he could read it from your shine, very easy for him. Instead he brought his lips so close to yours, almost touching distance and whispered with his deep voice: “Good night my love. You can call to me whenever you wish and I will come to you.”

- When he withdrew from you, your eyes were still closed and you followed his lips involuntarily. Missing the closeness, warmth and excitement. When you opened your eyes a smug smile was adorning his beautiful face. You felt shy again. You were a logical, calm and collected being, but apparently one could not be the same as she was with others when she was with her lover.

- He held your gaze until he disappeared between sand while the sun was rising and a moonless night came to an end. For the first time you were joyful and happy and so very much in love. You knew that your jealous cousins will try to hurt you, envious goddesses who are famous for their beauty will say poisonous things to you. They will try to gain the favor of the Lord of Dreams and lure him away from you. But right at that moment you were feeling invincible, you were the one holding his magnetic gaze and his precious heart.

BEFORE MORPHEUS (BM)

- There was a time Ancient Greek gods and goddesses were truly remarkable. You and your giant family would sit every night for dinner at the mountain Olympus and never know suffering or pain. Drunk men would laugh, gossip would be whispered, playful family banter would light up the table. You would all eat in joy looking over magnificent Greece between stars and clouds.

- Your father Zeus would trust you the most as his Hand and consult you about the future of humanity, internal affairs of divine beings etc. Your skills in warfare and diplomacy were beyond admirable. Since you see commanders and generals every night in their private tents and chambers you knew every sinister plan and attack, you’d know exactly what to do to make humanity go forward in the bigger picture.

- You were known as a wise goddess since you listened many mortals at nights, more than any of your family did since humanity tend to give away their pain, secrets and wishes to the vast blackness of the night with low whispers.

- Your favorite younger brother Sun would be all about energy, shine, warmth but you, as the Goddess of the night, moon and stars, are all about calmness, silence and peacefulness. Covering sins, tragedies, tears and giving silent support to those who wished for it from you.

- You knew about 7 Endless but no idea about their nature or never seen any of them. That was soon to be changed. Just when you left child ages behind and started to become a young woman one of them visited you.

- A  being looking like a blind man with a heavy book chained to his wrist. You never saw him before but the moment you did, you understood exactly who he was. This was Destiny, he could never be anything else. Came out of nowhere when you were about to leave your chambers for your daily night duty.

- “Greetings child, I have one question and one alone. Do you love him?”

- Too many questions appeared in your mind; who is ‘him’? Who is this man? What does he mean?... You remained silent. But he didn’t wait for you to ask anything.

- “Look deep inside your heart, it knows the answer since it’s destined to and it knows much more than you know in your young age. Tell me heart, do you love him?”

- “...Yes, I do.” 

- Your heart, your mouth, your lips react without your control. As a goddess it’s quite strange to you. You didn’t know why you say that but your heart and soul decided that you love ’him’. He vanished and you were left with no answers.

- Life went on, you grew. One difference between you and the rest of the gods and goddesses are came into light in time: your responsibility for your duty. After being worshipped for centuries your family started to forget humanity is not their play thing. You always knew you were here for them, not the other way around. Your main goal was to make them go forward, evolve and triumph.

- One day, this difference proved to be very important for humanity. Achaeans war against Troy. You knew that if Achaeans would attacked directly, they would surely lose. You of all beings could understand the importance of this war because if the wrong side would win it was doomed to trigger a chain of events that would lead humanity to their demise. 

- You roamed the night to listen every member of their army. You felt so hopeless for the first time, in eons you felt tears were forming in your eyes. You begged your family to help humanity but they laughed at you, saying humanity is just like ants to them and therefore doesn’t deserve their efforts.

- You were heart broken and afraid of what you will see the following night when you start your duty. You were mourning for children saying their farewells to you every night, secret lovers holding each other in your light, poets and artists and bards gazing at you as their muse to create art from nothing. But when you greet your younger brother Sun along the way you were starting to walk, his eyes were shining. “You will not believe sister. Your prayers were heard.”

- You were confused since you spent the last night by praying, crying and trying to imagine the slaughter you’ll see at night. But what you saw was unthinkable instead. A strange, little wooden horse changed the course of things. And wounded men lying in the shore were saying the same thing in their sleeplike state; “But the horse.. in our dreams horse was going to bring fortune if we’d welcome it.”

- You didn’t understand at first. You were happy that humanity will survive this and not perished from this war but earning victory by a wooden horse was truly an idea made out of dreams. You didn’t know the creator of this collective dream yet but that was about to change too.

- That night was a celebration night in Olympus, your family was pleased to see the slaughter they called entertainment. Mystical gardens, marble halls, endless ivory towers, colorful vineyard courtyards were all bright. Long tables was occupied by your big family, drinking honey wine. Many beings were invited but one presence was keeping everyone in line without even trying. You could feel him. You could feel him anywhere.

- While you were to pouring yourself more of godly wine, you finally met the source of this uneasy, attention demanding presence. 

- A deep, captivating voice called behind you: “Will you not thank me for answering your call lady Y/N? From the moment I heard your call and saw your haunted dreams I did everything in my power to please you.”

- Your heart started to beat like it never did before in your already long life. It was not just the deep tone of it but also the seductive choice of words, hint of arrogance and amusement. Who could dare to speak to a goddess as high as you in that manner? You knew even before turning around that he was not a god nor man.

- “I would need a name to know whom I’m thanking to. Would you grant it to me my lord?” You turned around and came face to face with him after finishing your sentence. You held your breath without noticing the moment you met his eyes. What a sight he was... He was easily the most beautiful being you’ve ever saw in your centuries long life. Starry eyes, jet black hair and pearl skin. Ghost of a smile was evident on his shapely lips.

- While you were starring into his deep blue eyes, he slowly reached for your hand and raised it to his lips without breaking eye contact with you. “Lord Morpheus. Dream of the Endless. Ruler of dreams and nightmare realms. It is such a joy to finally be at your presence, my lady. I was waiting for this fortunate occasion for so very long.”
