Stranger in the library:The Sandman fanfic

This story was inspired by @waitingforthatday by the post:

New story idea! Hear me out!

So, recently I’ve been seeing a lot of post about Morpheus reacting to fanfics of himself…..

BUT!!!

How would Morpheus react to fanfics of the reader appearing in the library?

Can someone write this?

So, let's see, how he would react :D

MASTERLIST

A STRANGER IN THE LIBRARY

When he turned around she was just standing there with confused and lost look on her pretty face.  Clearly having no idea where she was and how she got there. He saw her, but she didn’t notice him. However, it only took her a couple minutes to spot all the books on the shelves and tables, just waiting to pick them up and start reading. The girl hesitantly took a step forwards and reached for the closest volume, caressing the spine of the book with her index finger.

This was unbelievable. Who could have had an audacity to come up with such a ridiculous story? Lord Morpheus, Dream of the Endless was sitting in his library going through some most recent stories that appeared on the shelves. His brain was almost on fire because of all the thoughts. He was the ruler of the Dreaming, the Dreaming was him. His will constituted a law here and every subject, guest and servant were to obey. Not a single soul, especially a stray dreamer could enter the palace without him knowing and approving, regardless of what the author of the story claimed. No one would surprise him….

-Hello Morpheus! – appearance of way to familiar face caused him to jump. Not a soul,  oh the irony of that sentence. – What are you reading? – the girl sat down next to him.

-How did you get in here?

-Um, by the door I suppose? I’m no gargoyle I can’t fly through the window.

- Stop. – he was far more annoyed than usual and the change in his tone made her wonder what was happening.

-Are you all right, Dream?

- I’m in perfect condition.

-Right. Obviously. Now tell me, what made you so grumpy? Is this about the book?

At this point he had only two choices : either start denying and keep the pose of cold and distant ruler or show her the book and let her help though it. Finally deciding on the latter he tossed her the book.

-Another fanfiction? This is getting unhealthy, you know. Almost like an Internet addiction.

-Internet?

- Never mind – she shook her head and started going through the lines. – I don’t see what’s upsetting you so much in here. No mention of your sad face, no kissing or touching, so what …

-Read it.

-I’m sorry?

-Just read it, go through it with me.

-You know I’m getting tired of my visit in the Dreaming turning into literature lesson and interpreting the author’s mind.

-Read it – he repeated with warning voice – don’t you dare defying me.

-Ok, all right, fine! – she scoffed – The library seem to somehow react to her presence. As she was making her way forward, to the center it moved making her walk easier. The books were appearing on the shelves in different places than supposed to, asking to be chosen by her.

- Can you imagine how much mess that would made? – he scoffed.

- Mess, Morpheus?

- Yes, the volumes, changing their places. This is not happening as long as I’m here. Ever.

- Of course not – she chuckled lightly – shall I continue?  - he nodded so she went on – this stray dreamer, coming out of nowhere had a great impact on the place. As the King was watching her carefully from a safe distance…..

- Safe distance! – Dream exclaimed – that is an outrageous suggestion I would hide from a human. If anything, she should be afraid of me.

- Yes. Terrified by the lack of understanding the concept of personal space – she muttered which resulted with a look from him – what? Even now, you are way to close, taking a butcher’s from over my shoulder.

-Is that a nuisance for you, dear? – he moved even closer, resting his chin on her shoulder and brushing his lips over her cheek.

- Shall I remind you that you wanted to read the story and you are getting distracted now?

- By a dreamer in my library – he whispered into her ear

- Oh, so  we are acting the story out now? – she gently turned her head away – I’m getting curious how it ends then – even the weather in the Dreaming suddenly improved, as the sun came thought and illuminated the Fiddler’s green making it look ethereal.

- Do you, authors – he hissed thought clenched teeth addressing also the girl reading the story – have no sense of authority? Respect for the higher beings? I control every aspect of the Dreaming and no one else, no one has such powers here.

-Higher beings? – she huffed – and you think yourself one?Are you really that conceited? And I thought we were making progress. Shame on you, King of Dreams.

-Apologies – he looked her straight in the eyes and grabbed her hand - please, drop the formalities, I much prefer when you call me by name.

- Vey well than, Morpheus. Let’s see how it goes, but no more interrupting, ok? She felt like at home  in this place. Natural and safe, even if she still had no idea where she was.  That was until a tall, dark figure came into her line of sight. – See, no mention of you cat look, that’s a progress, isn’t it?

- I presume it is – he muttered waiting for her to continue.

What are you doing here? – the stranger spoke with a dark, soft voice making her jump and drop the tome she was holding – How did you get here?

- I…. I don’t know – she stammered with shaking voice – but I’m not doing anything wrong, please sir, don’t hurt me.

-Hurt you? – the stranger repeated

- I would never hurt a guest in my realm. Even the uninvited one. Even the unwanted one. I got my rules and any damage or wound to a dreamer would be a disgrace.

- What about the time when you left a mark on my …..

- Stop! Just …. just keep on reading – maybe she imagined it but she believed the Dream Lord was aroused by the memory she brought to him.   

- I just got curious about this book and …..I felt it calling my name.

- Is that so?

-Yes. I know it sounds crazy, but… but it’s true.

­-Book. Calling her name. Never in a thousands of years….  – Morpheus chimed in again, breaking his previous promise.

-I know, Dream. I know. It never happened and never will since you will never allow it. – she shook her head

- Precisely.

-Maybe I will just skip to the end, hmm? Don’t want to upset to more than necessary.  So…. the ending…. Finally, The Dream Lord realized how much this once stranger, and now familiar dreamer meant to him. He came to terms with her sudden appearances and found himself waiting for it. When the right time comes, and the dreamer popped in the Dreaming, he was ready. Ready to confess to her how he felt about her. And those feelings, were far from hate, to be honest they were seated on the other side of the hate – love scale.

The ending of the story got two completely different reaction from them. While Dream let out a whine and closed his eyes, his companion started to laugh uncontrollably.

-What. Is. So. Funny. To. You? – he hissed

- You are, Dream. Your reaction. Haven’t we been through it before? – she grinned- And besides, you have no problem with emotions when it comes to me. Or… did something change in that area – the thought made her frown.

- No! Nothing changed with you and me, but… I’d much prefer to keep my feelings private.

- I know. But we are alone, aren’t we? – she leaned towards him, caressing his cheek and leaving just an inch of space between their lips.

-Indeed, we are - he smirked.

  straight up hope all that shit in rusty’s hamper...

it’s like the metaphorical scented candle every white woman has in her closet for re-gifting at the last minute

LOL! I’m picturing Louis in his garage picking through boxes of product sent from his sponsors for the Pot Noodle flavors he likes least and the Red Bull cans with the dents in the back so they won’t be visible in the picture.

I saw the tagged ask and I’m running errands and have lots of thoughts but since I’m an 80s girl I’ve always dreamed of Harry covering some John Mellancamp - specifically Hurt So Good (he can play with the gendered lyrics if he would like), but Crumblin’ Down would also work. I think his throaty, deep voice would really be amazing.

Annie’s two cents. Thank you!

Larries hate Louis and working class people so much, it’s incredible.

Imagine being this outraged because you’re a fan of a man who eats McDonalds and doesn’t attend fancy glamorous Hollywood parties that he finds hollow.

1/1: At the start: 3 groups think H and L have no control over their image and 1 group think everything is how they are told it is. Later: Group 1 thinks both H and L have now some control over their images and have choices and make them. Group 2 thinks that H has some control and some choices and L has no control and no choices. Group 3 thinks that H and L both still have no control and no choices. Group 4 thinks they have always been and are whom they are told H and L are.

2/2 Question is what made groups 1 and 2 change their opinions? What events and what changed? Is it the new people? Are they nicer and more fair and let H control some of his image and let him have choices? Did the bosses of the bosses decide to let H have some control and L have none at all still?

--------------

Hi anon, so basically the question I think you're asking is why do people who thought H&L had no control now think one or both of them now have control?

I think it started out as an easier question when 1d was around as the nature of a boyband is to have tightly controlled images and we saw that confirmed from the Sony leaks. It was easy to spot the way only certain questions and topics were allowed in interviews. Plus, for larries, there was this big gay injustice narrative that fitted so easily over the whole thing. Boyband tightly controlled, not a shock. Gay boyband tightly controlled, even less of a shock. We saw the crappy product endorsements that they clearly hated doing, we saw them being horribly overworked, we saw them not being able to properly attend to their health and their families.

When the solo careers started, we had to reassess everything. I'm going to have to speak for myself here and why I think what I do. Louis' career has been very badly managed. His promotion has never been carried out professionally or with any interest. Negative press stories have been provoked and inflamed. He gets crappy interviews with crappy magazines and crappy radio stations like he's a desperate newcomer, not like a successful musician with a huge fanbase coming out of one of the biggest bands in the world. Everything about him has been made smaller and cheaper. No one would choose a team like that. He's had great difficulty releasing and performing his music. These things suggest extremely strongly he doesn't have much control. Also, we see a huge disconnect between Twitter Louis, Louis TM, and the Louis you see when he's actually given some opportunity to speak for himself. Real Louis is charming and thoughtful, the image that his team handles is not. This also suggests a lack of control - what musician wants to appear worse and so very different than they really are?

Harry has been given a very nice career. He's had a lot of very nice, top level, promotion opportunities. The late, late show residency, the met gala, the BBC special etc, etc. He's gone out on a couple of well handled tours, he's producing music at a normal rate. If you were able to choose, you'd choose this. The Harry we see makes sense, his image is consistent across all formats. What he says matches up with what we see of his life and what we hear when he speaks. Of course we don't see everything, but this also suggests a good element of control.

To sum up, I can't understand why anyone would suggest Louis has a lot of control, unless they think he's a really weird person. It's theoretically possible that Harry has very little control, but if so, it's like you signing a strict contract that makes you accept nice gifts and blink on a regular basis. You're not going to suffer much or even notice it's there most of the time. You'd probably be really happy to sign it.

i wonder why it’s happening lol probably some new feature 🤔

This is the positivity ask game! Tell us your favourite thing about 2017 (an event, a book, movie, music, etc) and send good vibes along to make 2018 an even better year! Pass it on if you feel like it!

Ahh, what a nice way to wrap up the year!

The best thing about 2017, without question, was my 50th birthday trip and party. I spent a few days in Stockholm with my three oldest BFFs before moving on to a big house I rented in the Stockholm archipelago. There, I was joined by 15 friends from all around the world and different parts of my life to celebrate my big 5-0. We spent a glorious week there relaxing, eating, partying, taking saunas, swimming in the 63-degree water (brrr!), hot tubbing, going for nature walks, just doing whatever we wanted to do. For me, it was a chance to catch up with some of the most important people in my life, and for many of them, it was a chance to make some new friends. I’ll be forever amazed at and grateful for how easily and well everyone got along!! It was truly a magical week.

Afterward, I spent a week in London on my own (look, I love my friends, but I needed some Jenn time after a week with 15 people!). London is my spiritual home...the place I was meant to live and die...and I get twitchy if I don’t get enough time there. I saw some old friends, made some new ones, learned lawn bowling, and just generally got a London fix. 

There you go -- that trip was by far the best part of 2017 for me. Thanks for sending this to me! 💗💕❣️💙
