Chapter Four - Never let go

��☆☆

Morpheus and you did not leave that room for several hours. Matthew had offered to come fetch you both, but Lucienne advised Matthew to leave you both for a while. There was a lot of time to be made up for.

Matthew understood what she meant.

You lay in the bed as you look up at your husband. He hovers over you, looking at you with soft blue eyes. She reaches out to touch his bare shoulder, stroking along his neck with gentle fingers.

He leans in and kisses your lips softly. You listen to quiet breaths as his lips move from your lips to your neck. His hair tickles your chin as he moves further down to your collarbone.

Your fingers tangle in his hair as his lips move down to your chest. His kisses are soft and warm. They have been missed dearly.

Though you have no aspect of time passing, he has spent a century locked away put of reach. He has felt every second pass by without you.

No longer.

You gasp softly as he moves further down. He commiting every inch of you to memory. It almost feels like he had never been away at all.

You become a tangle of limbs as the kissing turns into something greater.

It only after, when you're laying naked and wrapped up in one another, that you finally get the chance to speak. You have reunited and in the best way possible.

"Tell me what happened."

Morpheus presses his lips to the top of your head as he recalls all that has happened. He tells you of the moment he was captured, his escape, Gregory, Constantine, his trip to Hell, and to moment he got his full power back.

"Oh no, Jessamy..."

"I am sorry. She tried to help me."

"Do not apologise. She was very brave. She made us both proud."

He kisses your head again. "I have Matthew now."

"Good. You need a raven."

"I do not need a raven."

"You are the dream lord, and the dream lord has a raven."

He sighs in defeat. He knows he can not argue this with you.

"Very well."

You chuckle softly.

"I am sorry about your ruby."

"Why?" He asks, brows knitting together. "My power was released back into me after it was shattered. I am whole again. I am the one who is sorry. I lost my ring."

You look at his hand.

"Make a new one."

"It won't be the same."

"It doesn't have to be. Morpheus, you don't need a ring to show you are mine. You just need to love me."

"I do. I do love you."

You smile and reach up to stroke his cheek. He tilts his head into your palm, chasing your touch. He needs your warmth.

"I am sorry for leaving."

"Morpheus, if you apologise one more time, I'm going to push you out of the bed."

He chuckles softly and leans in, kissing your lips. "No, you won't."

You smile as you return his kiss. "You're right I won't."

☆☆☆

You walk hand in hand with Morpheus into the throne room. It hasn't yet been rebuilt. You smile as you approach Lucienne and Matthew. You reach let go of Morpheus to reach for Lucienne's hands.

"Lucienne."

"My lady," she smiles and bow her head.

You chuckles and wraps your arm around her. She is caught off guard for a moment but accepts your hug. You take her hands into yours again and smile at her. "Thank you."

"What for, my lady?"

"For looking after everything. For looking after me."

Lucienne looks a little awe struck.

"I heard you. I could hear you talking to me. Though my slumber was without dreams, I could hear your voice."

"My lady..."

"You stayed. You looked after me. Looked after the realm. I can not thank you enough for that."

Lucienne adjusts her glasses. "It was the least I could do."

You shake your head. "It was everything. I am honoured to have you as my friend and companion here."

Lucienne smiles.

"My husband is grateful too. He just doesn't know how to say it." You say, looking at Morpheus. He pretends not to hear you as he approaches the steps to the throne.

Your eyes turn to the raven. You smile as you gaze down at him.

"You must be Matthew. Its nice to meet you."

"You too, my lady." He bows his head with respect.

You look back up at Morpheus as he stands with his hand open and slightly raised at his sides. He takes a few deep breaths. You remain standing with Lucienne and Matthew as Morpheus uses his power to rebuild The Dreaming. He starts with the throne room.

The rubble and glass lift from the ground and slowly start to return to where they once were. Walls are rebuilt, the windows are mended, and the floors become clear of any debris. Bit by bit, the palace is put back together.

Morpheus lowers his arms and looks up at you. "The rest will be rebuilt in time."

You smile softly. "Take your time. Don't overdo it."

"Do I ever?"

"Sometimes."

Morpheus smiles softly at you and returns to your side. "We should take a walk."

You reach for his hand and then turn back to Lucienne. "I'll catch up with you again later."

She nods once and watches you walk out of the throne room with Morpheus.

☆☆☆

"Where are we going?"

"For a walk."

"Yes, but where?" You chuckle softly. Morpheus looked at you with a tesing smile. It wasn't often he did smile, but you found it easy to make him do so.

"To see some friends."

You chuckles as you follow him.

It's only when you see the two houses that you smile and let go of his hand. You hurry on ahead.

"Hello? Anyone home?"

You wait a few moments before the doors open on each house. A head pops out of each. You smile at the brothers.

Cain and Abel exit their houses and approach you.

"You're awake!" Abel smiles. "My lady."

The brothers both bow to her.

"It's good to see you both again." You smile at the pair of them. The brothers look at each other and then back at you.

"We're so glad you're awake!" Abel cheers.

"Yes. It is good news indeed."

"I want to apologise for Gregory, but he helped Morpheus greatly by what he did. It was very brave of you to let him go."

The two fall quiet.

"But I also hear you got a new friend." You smile.

"He's called Goldie." Abel calls for him. The baby gargoyle comes over. You chuckle softly.

"Hello Goldie."

The little gargoyle makes a little noise.

Morpheus just watches you silently from behind. You talk a little more with Abel and Cain and then take his hand once more. You wave to the brothers as you both walk away.

☆☆☆

"Fiddler's Green is gone?" You ask, looking at the vacant space the beautiful meadow once was.

"It seems he took his leave after I did not return."

You turn to Morpheus. "You blame yourself?"

"He never leaves his post before."

"Morpheus, it's not your fault. You need to stop blaming yourself."

"Everything happened because I left."

"No. No." You shake your head as you reach for his hand and hold them close to your chest. "I blame The Corianthian. If he had not left for the Waking World, you wouldn't have had to chase after him. You wouldn't have been trapped."

"We don't know that," he says.

"Let me have faith in the fact that it was just one thing after another. Things just did not go to plan, and a century was robbed from us. We're together again now."

"But he still out there," Morpheus reminds you.

"Yes, and you also have all your power back. You will find him again. I am certain of it."

Morpheus falls quiet. You reach out and caress his cheek softly. "Please don't blame yourself any more."

He says nothing as he looks at you. You do the only thing you can think of to cheer him up. You lean in and kiss him softly. You feel Morpheus melt as your lips touch his.

He's very soft when it comes to his wife.

"Everything will be okay. Let's take one issue at a time."

He nods softly.

You smile and kiss him again.

☆☆☆

The library had returned. Lucienne was beyond pleased, but that meant she had a lot of work on her hands. You offered to help her. At first, she refused your help, but you insisted. Lucienne lost that battle.

Books were stacked everywhere. You helped Lucienne take account of all the books that had returned. There are so many dreams, so many lives.

Matthew was perched on the table. He would fly off to find other books Lucienne asked for. It was quite nice spending time with them like this.

"So this is where you disappeared too."

You smile as you look up and find your husband walking over. You left his side about an hour ago while he went off to rebuild some more of The Dreaming.

"I figured I'd let you concentrate."

"That you did, but I found myself missing you when I was done. Having spent a century away from you, I dare not wish to spend another second apart."

You chuckle softly and glance at your companions. Lucienne is pretending not to listen, and Matthew isn't even attempting to pretend.

"Is that so?"

"Do you not feel the same?" He asks softly.

You look back at him. "Of course I do. Morpheus, I slept through that century, but believe me, knowing we spent that century apart breaks my heart." You walk closer to him and take his hands in yours.

"I'm sorry I keep mentioning it."

"What did I tell you about apologising?" She chuckle.

He smiles. "You'll push me out of our bed."

"Yes. Now hush. I think Lucienne and Matthew can take it from here. How about we go spend more time together? Assuming you're done for the day?"

He smiles again. "I would like that."

You take your leave of the library while holding his hand. Lucienne and Matthew watch you both leave.

"He seems happy," Matthew points out.

"He is," Lucienne smiles gently. "He always is when he's with her."

Matthew cocks his head to the side slightly. "I don't think I've ever seen love like that before."

"No. What they have is quite special."

☆☆☆

Morpheus stops you from walking and pulls you closer. He settles his hands on your hips and looks at you softly.

"What is it?" You ask, keeping your voice quiet.

"I just want to look at you."

You stare back at him, admiring his features, too. His pretty blue eyes, his pink lips, his strong jaw. He's handsome. A dream. A real dream.

"The entire time I was trapped, you were the only thing that kept me going. I thought about you constantly. It may sound cruel, but I am somewhat glad you slept through the whole thing. The thought of you here missing me hurt. I worried about you every single day," he confesses.

"Morpheus, you don't have to worry anymore. I am right here in front of you." You take his hands and place them on each side of your face.

"I know. I see you."

You smile and gaze into his eyes. "I see you too."

Morpheus wraps both of his long arms around you and pulls you in close to his chest. "I'm never letting go," he whispers in your ear.

You smile.

"Neither am I."

Morpheus takes the opportunity to steal another kiss from you. You happily oblige, wanting to remind your husband just how much you love him.

Chapter 27: Of Dreams and Deliverance

MASTERLIST

Summary: Plucked from her mundane life and thrust into a glass prison alongside the captured King of Dreams, Nora becomes an unlikely confidante and defiant voice in his silent torment. As a century blurs into freedom, she discovers her own impossible existence is inextricably linked to Morpheus himself, compelling them to face future challenges and rebuild his shattered realm, together.

Previous Chapter

~Shattered Illusion~

With Nora safely outside with Matthew, the diner, previously a scene of chaotic horror, now felt eerily still, save for the low chatter from the television, the hum of the old refrigerator and the faint, unsettling drip of something on the floor. Morpheus turned, his silhouette stark against the flickering neon glow from the street. His gaze, devoid of the earlier warmth he had shown Nora, settled on the hunched figure of John Burgess at the bar, the stolen Ruby clutched loosely in his hand.

“You hold what is mine, mortal.” Morpheus’s voice, though quiet, resonated with an authority that seemed to vibrate through the very air of the diner. John, still perched on his stool, slowly turned. A small, unsettling smile played on his lips, a chilling contrast to the dim, mundane surroundings.

“Oh, you’re the Sandman,” John drawled, his eyes gleaming with a strange, possessive light. “My mother was right. She said you’d be coming for it.” He held up the Ruby, its fragmented facets catching the faint diner light, each shard a tiny, malevolent eye.

“You must return it to me so I can repair the damage you’ve done,” Morpheus commanded, his gaze fixed on the pulsating jewel.

John's smile widened, a mockery of genuine amusement. “Return it? No, I don’t think so. It found me. It chose me. And it showed me the truth. The truth of all of them.” He paused, gesturing dismissively towards the door through which Nora had just exited. “I even tried to show that woman the truth. The Ruby… it didn’t work on her. No matter, she was quite rude anyway.”

“You dare,” Morpheus seethed, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper that promised retribution. The thought of John’s tainted influence reaching for Nora, his Nora, was an unpardonable transgression. “You have abused its power. You have inflicted your twisted reality upon others, and for that, there will be consequences.” His voice rose slightly, the air around him growing taut with suppressed power. “The Ruby is a sigil of my realm. It carries the very essence of dreams and nightmares. It was never meant for mortal hands to wield with such reckless abandon.”

“Well, maybe there needs to be a new King of Dreams,” John countered, his voice rising with a dangerous crescendo of delusion. He held the Ruby aloft, its crimson glow intensifying, casting grotesque shadows across his face. “I can steal the rest of your powers!”

Before the words had fully left his lips, Morpheus responded, his voice low and firm. “If you rob a Dream Lord of his power, you shall do so in his realm. In dreams.”

In that instant, the greasy diner floor beneath them dissolved. The flickering fluorescent lights warped into a swirling vortex of stardust and nebulae, a vast, cosmic canvas. Yet, oddly, beneath their feet, a stark, concrete floor remained, its edges crumbling away into an infinite abyss. Dust and debris, like fragments of forgotten realities, swirled around them in the boundless expanse.

John spun, his gaze darting around the impossible landscape, a mixture of awe and manic glee distorting his features. He still clutched the Ruby, its light now a beacon in the galactic maelstrom. “Is this your palace, Dream Lord? Is this your throne, King of Lies?” He laughed, a high, strained sound that echoed eerily in the vast emptiness. “Well, it’s mine now. Are you watching me? Can you see me, using your own powers to burn away your lies?”

Morpheus swayed, a faint tremor passing through his tall, slender frame. He felt himself weakening, his essence, his very being, being pulled from him, siphoned by the grotesque parody of his own power in John's hand. “You must stop,” he rasped, his voice strained. “It’s not too late to save yourself.”

“You think it’s me that needs saving?” John shouted, his voice cracking with intensity, his eyes blazing with a deranged triumph.

“Your father stole the Ruby from me and cursed you with it,” Morpheus persisted, a desperate plea in his tone.

“You mean he blessed me with it!” John retorted, his grip tightening on the Ruby. “Your reign ended when my father captured you. Your kingdom is my birthright!” He emphasized with a venomous snarl. “Your power now resides within me. How does it feel to know I hold your life in my hands?”

Even as his own strength faltered, Morpheus’s thoughts turned to those suffering under John’s cruel distortions. “You’re hurting the dreamers,” he murmured, the words heavy with concern. He could only imagine what Nora, so sensitive to the currents of the Dreaming, must be enduring if he, Dream himself, felt so incredibly weak, his essence being torn away.

John’s face contorted in a sneer. “Well, maybe it’s time they woke up. Your life, and your lies, ends now!” With a final, triumphant yell, he crushed the Ruby in his hand. The crystalline structure, already fragmented, exploded inward. Instead of a simple shattering, the very air around them ignited, not with fire, but with pure, raw power. A blinding, searing white light erupted from John’s clenched fist, a silent scream of energy that consumed the swirling abyss, the crumbling floor, and even the cosmic dust. It was an instant of absolute void, everything washed away in the incandescent brilliance, leaving only the ringing silence of its passing.

Then, silence. And stillness.

As the light faded, John found himself standing, intact, in the same unsettling cosmic void. He looked around, a bewildered triumph blooming on his face. “I killed him! I won!” he crowed, a manic laugh bubbling up.

But as he looked down, his laughter died in his throat. He wasn't standing on the concrete floor, or stardust, or even the abyss. He was standing in the palm of a colossal hand, a hand impossibly vast, crafted from the very fabric of dreams. Morpheus, now towering over him like a benevolent, yet stern, titan, held John aloft, inspecting him with an expression that was a curious blend of amusement and weariness. It was the look one might give a child who had attempted a remarkably foolish, yet ultimately harmless, prank.

“Thank you, John,” Morpheus said, his voice now rich and resonant, echoing through the boundless space.

John was utterly baffled. “But… I killed you!”

“You destroyed the Ruby and released the power inside it,” Morpheus explained, a faint, almost imperceptible smile touching his lips. “I never would have thought of that.” His gaze drifted to some unseen point beyond John, a flicker of distant memory in his eyes. “I’d forgotten just how much of myself I’d placed in the jewel.”

A fresh wave of terror washed over John, the manic triumph replaced by desperate fear. “Are you going to kill me?” he whispered, his voice trembling.

Morpheus considered him, his gaze piercing. “I could. Perhaps I will.” A moment stretched, hanging heavy in the infinite silence. Then, Morpheus shook his head, a gesture of dismissal. “But the Dreamstone was not made for mortals, and it came to you through no fault of your own. So no, John. I will not kill you.”

With a gentle, invisible force, Morpheus willed John to fall asleep. John’s eyes fluttered, then rolled back, his body collapsing into unconsciousness as Morpheus lowered him.

In a blink, the cosmic realm dissolved, replaced by the sterile, familiar confines of the mental hospital. Morpheus gently laid John back into his bed, arranging the thin blanket over him. “Sleep well, John,” he murmured, his voice laced with a lingering sorrow. Once certain that John was secure, and would cause no more harm, Morpheus vanished.

He reappeared just outside the diner, the mundane world stark and silent after the fantastical realm. Nora was there, a figure of distress, huddled on the ground with her back pressed against the diner’s grimy wall. Her knees were drawn up to her chest, elbows resting on them, and her hands were clamped over her forehead, as if to contain a fracturing mind or block out an unbearable memory. Matthew, ever loyal, hopped nervously beside her, his soft caws a concerned murmur. “Are you feeling better now? You… you went down pretty fast there. What happened, Nora?”

Matthew’s head suddenly snapped up, his small, black eyes fixing on Morpheus’s silent arrival. He hopped out of the way, making room. Morpheus knelt before Nora, his pale hands gently, almost reverently, wrapping around her wrists. He pulled them away from her face, revealing eyes wide and bewildered, still clouded with residual trauma.

“Nora, are you… ” Morpheus began, his voice low and laced with a fragility that was rare for him. He paused, his face now drawn with worry, his gaze searching hers, knowing the deep, empathetic connection they shared. The air between them grew heavy, thick with the suspense of her revelation. He hesitantly asked, his voice barely above a whisper, “What did you feel?” He knew she must have felt his agony, the terrifying sensation of his essence being stripped away, and the not knowing, that agonizing uncertainty of his fate, must have been its own unique torment for her.

Nora shook her head slowly, a soft, shaky breath escaping her lips. Her eyes, still swimming with unspoken experience, met his. “It doesn’t matter,” she whispered, her voice thick with raw relief, a relief that dwarfed any personal pain she might have endured. It did matter, of course. It had hurt. A deep, tearing ache, a sudden, terrifying emptiness where he usually resided in her periphery. But the fear, the agonizing uncertainty of what was happening to him, of whether he would return, had been far worse than the pain itself. The not knowing had been the real agony.

“You’re here. You’re okay,” she continued, the words a desperate litany of comfort for herself as much as for him. With a small, desperate cry, she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him close, burying her face against his shoulder. He returned the embrace, holding her tightly, his grip a silent promise of his presence. Both breathed out, a long, ragged sigh that spoke of shared relief, of horrors averted. They were okay now. He had all of his tools. They were both safe. It was over. Soft reassurances, indistinguishable murmurs of comfort, passed between them as the diner’s dim lights cast long, weary shadows.

After a moment, Nora mumbled against his neck, her voice muffled but clear, “Can we go home now?”

Morpheus felt a warmth bloom in his chest, an unfamiliar sensation that spread through him like sunlight. Home. She considered the Dreaming her home. His realm, her haven. He held her a little tighter, a whisper of a smile touching his lips. “Yes, absolutely, My Star,” he murmured, his voice husky with emotion. “Yes, we can go home.”

kim jiwoong | camping

The smell of smoke and wood wafts to your nose, as you peek your head up from the top of the hammock that’s attached to two red maples. You watch Jiwoong silently while he chops a few more pieces of wood before tossing them on top of the roaring flames from the fire pit. Discarded pans and dishes are off to the side from the filling dinner of meat and ramen that your boyfriend had so generously prepared all by himself. You had insisted on helping him cook and clean, but Jiwoong, ever the gentleman, made sure you didn't lift a finger at all this trip and had done everything himself. "Woongie," you call faintly. "Yes, my love?" Jiwoong pauses his movements and gives you his full attention with a smile. "Come cuddle with me and then let's make s'mores?" The man drops everything and hurries over to you, nearly toppling on top of you before planting a kiss to the crown of your head. "Anything for you."

zhang hao | pool party

"Marco!" Sounds of "polo" are shouted back in various pitches and noise levels, as you and your friends splash around in the water. Blue skies bleed into hues of oranges and pinks while you all have spent the whole day getting wrinkly in Ricky's pool. Feeling thirsty from all the games, you slip out and grab your towel, drying off before sitting on the edge while sipping your cold drink from the cooler. You watch Taerae get attacked by a closed-eyed Matthew as a finger taps your thigh. Hao stands waist-deep in front of you with his mouth open, making indistinguishable noises, but you catch onto what he wants. Pouring the rest of the drink in his mouth, you discard the can to the side before leaning down to plant a peck on the man's lips. The drink lingers with the faintest taste of chlorine, but it's only a momentary thought, as Hao's laugh fills the air while he suddenly tugs you by the hand back into the water.

sung hanbin | blueberry picking

It’s sunny and swelteringly hot outside. Sweat drips down your forehead, and you can’t help but wipe it with the back of your hand in slight disgust. You wonder how you ended up here, a somewhat crowded blueberry patch during such a humid summer day. But then you glance over across the bush at Hanbin who has a wide and excited grin on his face. “Look at this one!” He exclaims excitedly, holding up a big, ripe blue one for you to see. You nod at him, an enamored look in your eyes. You guess that you could deal with the bugs and uncomfortable stickiness on your skin if it means seeing Hanbin happy like a kid in a candy store. You both fill up two large buckets with the sweet berry and take them home, making blueberry pie, muffins, tarts, and jam.

seok matthew | carnivals

The bright lights from the tents down below look like twinkling stars from up above, as you, Matthew, and the giant stuffed bear that he had won squish into the ferris wheel cart. You eagerly point out all the places you both had been that night when you get a better view, and Matthew watches you adoringly with a smile. When you're finally at the top, he snakes an arm around your waist before leaning in for a long kiss. "You know about the rumors?" He murmurs quietly against your lips, eyes locked onto yours. Heat rises to your cheeks at the close proximity as you shake your head silently. "They say that if you kiss on top of the ferris wheel, your relationship will last forever." The man goes in for another, taking his sweet time before peppering delicate kisses across your jaw until his lips linger by the shell of your ear. "I guess that means you're mine for eternity."

kim taerae | farmer's market

You and Taerae walk hand in hand through the rows upon rows of stalls selling everything from freshly baked goods to blooming flowers. A loaf of sourdough, ruby red apples, prosciutto, some cheese, and a blanket sit in your tote bag on Taerae's shoulder for the picnic that was planned for later. The two of you had made it a habit to wake up early on Sundays to take a walk, go to your favorite cafe for brunch, and then head over to the weekly farmer's market. There was something domestic about the little routine you both had fallen into, and you definitely didn't mind the quiet coos that grannys would offer on the street about how much of an adorable couple you two were. Taerae suddenly stops in front of a booth selling mason jars of wildflowers and instantly hands the owner some cash, insisting you pick out your favorite with a kiss to your temple.

shen ricky | beach day

The sound of waves crashing against the sand are like white noise in your ears, as you lay out under the beating sun. Your skin feels warm from spending the afternoon outside, but you sense a presence and jump a little at the cold drops that fall onto you. “You gonna come in the water?” Ricky asks while a hand runs through his hair, more droplets hitting you as he shakes his head like a wet dog. “Maybe in a little bit,” you reply, taking in the sight of the blonde boy before you. a thin silver chain falls down the slope of his neck and rests just above his bare chest. His swim trunks fit him well and are in a light rose shade that he had boughten after you had offhandedly mentioned that you thought he looked good in the color. “Like what you see?” There’s a slightly smug tone in his voice as he catches you staring. “You look nice.” In one swift motion, Ricky picks you up and throws you over his shoulder with ease, moving towards the water and threatening to drop you in unless you give him a better compliment than just “nice.”

kim gyuvin | dog walking

"Buttercup, please don't bite eumpappa's ear!" You hear your boyfriend's voice before you see him, but the sight before you causes Gyuvin to whine as you nearly double over in tears. "Babe, how did this happen?" The brunette gives a sheepish smile, tips of his ears red, while you help untangle him from the many dog leashes wrapped around him. Gyuvin had decided to take up dog walking as a summer side job to make some extra money to take you out on dates. He had thought it was a brilliant idea considering that he already walked eumpappa, so what were a few more pups? Well, a few more soon turned into five which then turned into eight, and although Gyuvin was too prideful at first to ask for your help, you eventually got the call to meet him outside of his apartment complex with the promise of ice cream in return. You supposed it all worked out in the end, as you got to spend time with cute puppies and your even cuter boyfriend.

park gunwook | camp counselors

Gunwook throws a glance over at you once and a while, finding it cute how your face scrunches up in concentration as you make your bead bracelet. Originally, the boy had come over to sit next to you, but you had banished him to the other side of the arts and crafts hall, declaring that he wasn’t allowed to peek at what you were going to work on. So here Gunwook was, pouty and a bit sulky, as he waited patiently for you to finish whatever you were doing so he could spend some time with you. The second he sees you snipping the thin string with scissors, he rushes over like an eager puppy. “Here, I made this for you.” Taking his large hand in yours, you slip the bracelet that adorns your name onto his wrist. Before you can say anything else, Gunwook repeats the action, wordlessly giving you the one he had made too. You peak at the letters with a smile. Gunwook.

han yujin | lemonade stands

"Yujin, aren't you a little too old to run a lemonade stand?" Slowly pulling your sunglasses down and peering over them, you stare a bit incredulously at the boy sitting in the children's chair that's clearly too small for him. "I-I'm just helping out my cousin..." He manages to stutter in a bit of embarrassment, rubbing the nape of his neck and avoiding eye contact. You readjust your sunglasses and notice the little girl coming back out of the house with a plastic pitcher filled to the brim with the citrusy drink. "I'll take three." You say suddenly, pulling out the proper amount and handing it to Yujin, as he snaps out of his daze. The little girl perks up at the influx of business, eagerly pouring three cups. You leave a generous tip in the plastic jar and hand her one of the cups before taking a seat in the grass of the lawn beside Yujin. Sipping on the cool liquid, you extend the extra cup to him with a smile.

The Nightmare and the Dreamer. Epilogue

Pairing: Morpheus x FemaleReader

Rating: PG

Words: 588

You figure out that it was your sister who let Cori in. But she did that without any vicious thoughts. Morpheus gave you an engagement ring and said you can return home and also your family can be present in the wedding in their dreams. And you also figure out that he gave a little bit of his power with ruby. Maybe, he did this unconsciously, because he was hurt. Anyway, you gave back his ruby when everything fell in place.

Father was worried until you return and tell him that you are alright. And also he was surprised that you are going to marry Morpheus.

“Are you sure?” he asked. “You know him for a week��.

“You just don’t know him well”, you replied. “He is so gentle. He will never hurt me. And I’m really in love with him”.

“Alright”, he sighed. “If you are happy, then I’m happy too”.

You couldn’t believe that this was really happening. You have met the man of your dreams and saved him from the curse. But now you were standing in your room in the Dreaming and looking at your reflection in the white, beautiful dress.

“May I come in?” you heard Morpheus’s voice.

“You can’t wait to see me in the wedding dress, admit it”, you smirked.

“I can’t wait to see you. Point”, he smiled.

You can’t take your eyes off him. At that moment, he was dressed in a black suit, and his hair wasn’t a mess. He was looking like a dream. So handsome, it was unfair.

“I was just thinking about what my life was going to be," you said.

“What do you mean?” he asked.

“Shall I stay here or in my world?” you asked.

“As you wish”, he said. “You can have your own life in the Waking world and we will share time in your sleep”.

“And if I want to stay here?” you asked.

“Then you’re welcome”, he replied. “Usually human can’t live there. Only after death. But I think my sister and I will find the solution”.

“After death?” you asked.

“Matthew and my other ravens were humans once”, he nodded. “After their death they stay there. They died in their sleep”.

“Oh, should I die then?” you said.

“No, I will talk to my sister”, he said and kissed the top of my head. “I don’t want you to be dead to stay here”.

“Good”, you smiled and hugged him. “But I don’t know how I can stay a whole day without you in the Waking world”.

“Someone became clingy”, he smiled.

“Maybe a little”, you replied. “Don’t make fun of me”.

“It doesn’t mean that I won’t come to you in the Waking world”, he reassured me. “Or that you can’t visit me during the day”.

“That’s good”, you said.

“I can’t wait till you become mine”, Morpheus whispered, hugging me tighter.

“I’m already yours”, you purred.

“Is this an invitation to skip to our wedding night?” he asked.

“Perhaps”, you giggled.

“You’re playing with fire”, he whispered.

“Oh really?” you smirked.

And he kissed you so passionately, you forget about everything else. You can’t believe this god of dreams and most handsome man is in love with you.

“I love you”, you whispered.

“I love you too”, Morpheus replied.

And then he made you forget everything that surrounds you again. You can’t believe your happiness. You already have the adventure and the love of your life. And you believe that everything will be good after that.

Death of an Esper & Birth of a Star

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/sVOf4BQ by Chiyo_Sunako 11 months… 6 days…. 4 hours… This was the exact time Anya had been a Forger. In this ff, Anya was born as Ruby, but when Ai died, she and Aqua were sent to an orphanage at four. Miyako Saitou couldn't get custody of the twins. That was when Anya was sent to Project Apple, where she became an esper, which caused her to have pink hair and green eyes. Miyako Saitou could only save Aqua in time and only got custody of him. After Anya was sent back to an orphanage, her powers were taken away, and she became Ruby. When Aqua discovers where Anya/Ruby is, Ruby gets adopted back by Miyako. {Both twins tell each other about their previous lives, and Anya/Ruby reveals she once had powers.} [This fic is set up 9 years after the prologue]   Hi guys, this is my first attempt at writing a fanfiction. Please don't mind me, English is not my first language. I wanted to write an FF for two of my favourite anime, and this idea had been bugging me for a long time, so I thought to write it for me and for people who have a brain similar to mine. Please comment, and feel free to give me ideas and constructive criticism. Please give me kudos...

The Excellence of Wisdom

1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding give forth her voice?

2 On the top of high places by the way, at the cross-paths she taketh her stand.

3 Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud.

4 Unto you, men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of man:

5 O ye simple, understand prudence; and ye foolish, understand sense.

6 Hear, for I will speak excellent things, and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

7 For my palate shall meditate truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing tortuous or perverse in them.

9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold:

11 for wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things that may be desired are not equal to it.

12 I wisdom dwell [with] prudence, and find the knowledge [which cometh] of reflection.

13 The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth do I hate.

14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am intelligence; I have strength.

15 By me kings reign, and rulers make just decrees;

16 by me princes rule, and nobles, all the judges of the earth.

17 I love those that love me; and they that seek me early shall find me.

18 Riches and honour are with me; durable wealth and righteousness.

19 My fruit is better than fine gold, yea, than pure gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

20 I walk in the path of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

21 that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasuries.

22 Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

23 I was set up from eternity, from the beginning, before the earth was.

24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abounding with water.

25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth;

26 while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.

27 When he prepared the heavens I was there; when he ordained the circle upon the face of the deep;

28 when he established the skies above, when the fountains of the deep became strong;

29 when he imposed on the sea his decree that the waters should not pass his commandment, when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

30 then I was by him [his] nursling, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

31 rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth, and my delights [were] with the sons of men.

32 And now, sons, hearken unto me, and blessed are they that keep my ways:

33 hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.

34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and obtaineth favour of Jehovah;

36 but he that sinneth against me doeth violence to his own soul: all they that hate me love death. — Proverbs 8 | 1890 Darby Bible (DARBY) The Darby Translation of the Holy Bible is in the public domain.
