in part 7 when dream gives wanderer the pebble, he never really answers “why now?” it’s been ~100 years since he made the promise!! is it just because she once again didn’t call for him when facing the demon?

because he loves her, and seeing how little she's willing to rely on him when she's in clear danger (a demon, who was dragging her to hell, no less) breaks his heart, especially the fact that she's more reliant on one of his creations instead. he envies the fact they're so comfortable and have such deep trust between them. has he truly failed her so badly that he doesn't even cross her mind when being tormented?

#does he acknowledge any of this? ofc course not.#also it's not that wanderer is too proud to ask him for help #she doens't enjoy being minced near daily.#what it is that wanderer has always been very very aware of /what/ dream is #how many responsibilities he has. the sheer weight on his shoulders. his service is to the many not her #endless don't dance to the tune of one cursed immortal.#it's why they work so well on a platonic level. there's so much mutual respect there.#she challenges him. but respects what he is.#dream/wanderer #asks #fic: today i bury you in me
