•Morpheus Being Touch Starved•

I feel like before Dream was captured he was less inclined to crave the touch of others, even your touch, his eternal love.

But, a century spent locked in a glass cage can leave even an anthropomorphic being wanting.

So, when Morpheus was finally free and back in his realm, when he was finally reunited with you again...

He began to act differently than how he was before.

Being deprived of your touch for so long against his will left him aching for you.

He made a promise to himself that he would never be far from you again.

The Lord of Dreams does not need to sleep but when he's able he likes to stay in bed with you all night and until you wake up.

He contents himself with visiting your dreams while you're asleep and keeps an arm wrapped around you, pale fingers gently tracing any bare skin you may be showing.

He stays, despite any busy schedule, til your eyes flutter open from the morning light.

While walking with you Dream will keep a hand on the small of your back.

If you're enthralled in a book in the library your attention is often swayed from the pages when he reaches over and gently tucks a strand of hair behind your ear.

Morpheus is never going to be big on pda so you've never received a kiss on the lips or anything more heated while in the company of others.

But, if you're out in the Waking World with him, beyond the safety of his realm, he will stay incredibly close to you.

Even if it's just the side of his arm touching yours while you're walking together or every once in awhile your hands bump against each others. He just likes to subtly remind you that he's within reach and vice versa, he likes reminding himself you're close, too.

The Ruler of Nightmares will frequently kiss the top of your head or softly bump his forehead against yours.

He will let you run your fingers absently through his ever constant bed head.

While alone his more reserved nature will crumble before you and he will relish the feel of you.

The warmth of your skin and touch of your body against his is his personal dream come true.

He will practically devour you everyday, in both your dreams and reality, so that you are never left wanting again.

Of no volition of his own, Dream was taken from you for over a century and that has honestly left you both fragile and hungry for each other always.

Though he is never satiated.

He will indulge you in your every whim. Be it playing with his hair or having him lay his head down on your lap all the way to you leaving hickeys and marks upon his body (though they do disappear immediately)

Any touch you grace him with he savors far more than you'll ever know.

The only time Morpheus truly feels happy is when you're in his arms.

When he can feel that you're really here, touching him, with him. Where he can protect you and keep you safe forever.

You are his home, even more so than the realm he created.

♦️ and ♒️ for our boy Dream!

Domestic Dream of the Endless

I'm sorry this took me eons to publish but it was a lot of fun to do. Domestic Morpheus is very cute and I hope you enjoy these ideas you brought about @roguelov

Headcanon meme: ♦ - quirks/hobbies headcanon

I feel like Morpheus would like to knit or crochet. He likes to keep those long nimble fingers of his busy when he’d not crafting any nightmares or dreams and it would help relax his mind from his burdens if not only for a little while. Sometimes he will leave his little knit creatures on his desk and also probably sprinkle life into them so they become mini shadowy creatures and they end up having a fond attachment to Lucienne and Matthew. 

He likes creating dreams specifically catered to you, especially if/when you’re having a hard time falling asleep, or have insomnia. 

He gets bored when you're not around so he'll shift into his cat form and wander around your dwelling to explore, because it's more fun that way, until a flour bag falls on top of him once. You laughed hysterically when you saw the camera footage while at work;you definitely showed the footage to Hob you doubled over at the New Inn gripping the table hard so he could catch his breath. Morpheus didn’t hear the end of that for months, or was it years? 

Forehead kisses. (He starts doing it when he’s more comfortable around you). Especially if you’re shorter than him, before he leaves to go back to the Dreaming or wish you sweet dreams, he never hesitates to give you a forehead kiss and it becomes his own little ritual for you, though you catch him giving Hob one once which makes you melt too. 

♒ - cooking/food headcanon

At first I feel like Morpheus wouldn't be the best at it, but you gradually teach him and he wants to learn your favorite dishes so he (maybe along with Hob or Cori) can help make them when you've had a bad day, or for a domestic date night at home.

He learns to cook your favorites and perfect them as best as he can. Sometimes you take him out to experience the meals you enjoyed both as a kid and adult. 

If you had a long day and forgot to eat, he will not let this slide by and softly convince you to eat something small even if it is a little broth and a slice of bread. You will not go undernourished on his watch. He does care deep down. 

You’ll be baking in the kitchen and sometimes he’ll sit on the windowsill in his cat form, absolutely mesmerized by the rhythm of your movements and just enjoys admiring you from afar. Bonus points if you pick him up in said cat form and nuzzle him to make him purr loudly. Extra bonus points if flour falls on his cat nose causing him to wheeze and pop back into his usual human form, which causes you to laugh at the offended, yet adorable look on his face.

Valentine’s Day

Requested by @fangirlmary and sat on til today! Enjoy!

~~Requests for Morpheus and the Doctor (9-13) are open!~~

~The Dreaming morphs a little around Valentine’s Day, with people either thinking about love, or how much they’re not looking forward to it.

~It’s your first Valentine’s Day actually in love, and not just dating someone

~Dream definitely had help from Matthew and was confused about everything: “What’s so special about February 14th?”

Matthew: o_o oh boy where do I begin

~“Why do I need to profess my love on this day when I do every day?” *raven facepalm*

~Matthew covertly asked you what your ideal Valentine’s Day would be- you’re a little sus but don’t think Morpheus will actually do anything for one of the more “dumb” human holidays

~Dream decides to surprise you in the Waking when you get home from work- he’s waiting in your house with flowers, chocolate, candles, the whole shebang

“It is a day to celebrate the one you love, yes? I would be remiss if I did not observe such an occasion, even though you deserve to be celebrated every day.”

~He’s got a whole holiday cheat sheet, which includes gift ideas and movie suggestions (you go with Pride and Prejudice)- made with Matthew’s help and also skimming through your book of dreams

~Also gives you a necklace (a gorgeous ruby like his, smaller and more delicate so it’s not too flashy in the waking world)

~He wanted to make you dinner but Matthew dissuaded him (for which you were thankful, it meant your kitchen was still standing)

~You laugh and order your usual Valentine’s takeout from your single days (Dream politely declined any food but watches you with heart eyes while you enjoy dinner and the chocolate he brought)

~that night in the Dreaming, he meets you in Fiddler’s Green where you lay back on a soft blanket and spend hours looking at the stars and reminiscing about your relationship. You hold hands the entire time, exchanging soft kisses and dopey little smiles

~Bonus: imagine Dream telling you “I love you. Most ardently” MEGA SWOON 😍🥵

love languages of morpheus.

headcanon summary: what i imagine what the love languages morpheus likes to receive looks like, and what it looks like with the ones he likes to give.

content warnings: none

fandom: the sandman

character: morpheus x reader

gender neutral reader

receiving:

quality time

he finds comfort in spending time with those he loves. whether it's silent, or spent with light conversations, he likes to be in the comfort of shared spaces.

he tends to sit close, hoping not to interfere with what it was you were doing if he's walking on you with intention of hanging out. but he likes to receive quality time, so he likes when the both of you make plans at the end of the day to hang out in each other's presence.

acts of service

he really fell in love when you took it upon yourself to help around his realm at whatever point possible. you weren't dating at this point, but he realized he loved the small acts of service you did do, without overstepping.

he would catch himself slightly smiling when he saw you conversing with the people, coming up with ideas to help rebuild, taking on small tasks. he enjoyed your help, and it made him start to fall head over heals.

words of affirmation

he loved to hear how he was doing a good job. he was slowly becoming more used to human behaviors, and it made his heart skip a few beats when he heard he was doing well. he loves the light reassurances.

he likes to be heard when he's venting with the issues he's been having around the realm, something he's also been slowly getting accustomed to. but with you around, he found out he likes to be heard, and know that he's being heard.

giving:

words of affirmation

he loves to give affirmations right back. he likes to make sure you know how important you are to him, he tries to get that across. he knows he has a hard time speaking his mind a lot, but he's trying his best.

in particular, the times you'll get the most words of affirmation is when you're feeling more insecure or comparing yourself to his status. he'll make sure to whisper sweet words to let you know of your importance, and how good you're doing.

quality time

he likes to carve out time for quality time as well. he will take the time out of his schedule to ensure time to be with you. he knows he can be busy, but he also cares about getting some time with those he loves.

he would want to show his love through this way, it allows him to talk and get to know you better, whether it's through walking through the park to see some birds, or reading in each other's company.

gift giving

he likes to give small trinkets. he gives you things that reminds him of you. occasionally it's a leaf he saw that reminded him of the time you dragged him to the waking world for a walk through an orchard during the fall, or he'll give you a cool looking rock.

sometimes matthew will find some plant or small trinket he can hold that he'll give to morpheus to give to you. (matthew doesn't want you to know that it was him, wanting his boss to get good with you, but that doesn't stop morpheus telling you otherwise. you think it's cute matthew thinks of you too.)

Headcanon: Desire of The Endless as the patron of science

This is how I came up with the idea:

As we all know, Dream can be considered as the patron of art, in some sense. He personifies imagination. And he helps some creative people and makes deals with them sometimes. The Dreaming contains all the told and untold stories. And so on.

What about Desire? I already wrote about my another headcanon that the first desire in the universe from which Desire was born was curiosity and curiosity is still the base of Desire. But even not considering that my headcanon, curiosity is certainly one of the main parts of Desire. It is one of the strongest desires of all living beings which makes us to aspire so many things. Thus knowledge - more precisely, the pursuit of knowledge - is the part of Desire's domain. And what is the one of the main activities through which we explore the world and fulfill our curiosity? That is science.

Another interesting thing is that curiosity and the desire for knowledge cannot really be fulfilled ever. The more you know - the more questions arise, the more you understand that you still know nothing, the more you need to know. Seeking for knowledge is the endless seeking.

And somewhere near here the twin Despair is lying in wait. Because "who increases knowledge, increases sorrow", and knowledge is not always used for good. But ignorance is sorrow as well. And again, one cannot know enough and the desire for knowledge cannot be really fulfilled.

So... As well as Dream is the patron of art, Desire is the patron of science.

Now I need stories about Desire and scientists. Maybe Desire could make some deals with them, to help them somehow, to cooperate, like Dream cooperates with artists. Maybe Desire has a hand in some great scientific discovery? What about an electricity, for example? Or what about nuclear power? Something remotely as strong as Desire itself, something that can be energizing and helping, but can be also dangerous - just like they are? Who knows?..

The Corinthian with an s/o who's blind -headcanon

(I'll try to keep this gender-neutral 'cause there's people saying Corinthian is gay but others say he's pansexual so, dunno, just enjoy)

He was looking for targers, as usual, someone to his centuries-refined likes. Night was young and he felt free to pick among some nice candidates.

Finally he got his -well, senses on you. Sitting by a table, looking shy and staring at the frantic crowd with this faded smile. He had some appetite for a calmed victim, and you seemed to fit on that.

Doesn't hesitate and approaches you with his best smile. "Evening, waiting for someone?" You cocked your head to him, he sounded kind. "Yes, my friend went for a drink, thanks for asking".

And then he notices... Your iris and pupil are so foggy they look almost white, and at your side there's a cane. You're blind.

This is an interesting situation, is not like you lack of eyes, you just... cannot see with them. He hasn't eaten blind eyes before, he's used to inflict panic by the sight, so... you look like a new challenge.

He manages to act so charming towards you and your friend you don't suspect anything about his true colours. He even offers to take you to your place when party's over, and to your friend, is a good chance they can have their own shcedule with that cute bartender they met.

You don't have any reason to be affraid of this new pal, he's such a gentleman you even blush. You're very kind, you invite him to come in because you notice is about to rain. That's exactly what he wanted, who cares if that friend of yours saw him, he knows how to dissapear...

But he just shuts the door after a gentle farewell and walks away. He slowly realizes he let you go, though you were at his grasp... why?

You receive a phone call some days later. "Good day, dear (Y/N), forgive the dash, I asked your friend for your phone number, do you remember me? We chatted at the club some nights ago..." "Wait, Corey? (yeah, he gave you that fake name, he's a nightmare but his imagination isn't like top tier stuff) Hi! Yeah, I remember you..."

You arrange a new meeting for a lunch. You talk and have a good time. He finally asks the question -about you coming with him to his place of course. You're not very sure about it but ends up accepting with the condition of him "keeping hands off" when you say so.

"Don't you think I'm a nasty perv, do you?" he chuckles at his own joke.

You spend the night in a cute department (the owner isn't in the city, he just crashed, obviously) eating some chinesse food, listening music, cuddling...

Oh, you're so close, so vulnerable, he can listen your heart beating slowly as sleep finds you. He could simply insert a finger in your eye socket and do his stuff... your giggles turned into screams of pain an horror, it'd be so...

No.

"I know what you're thinking" you suddenly say "Now you read minds?" "Go on, you can ask" He gulps. Of course he knows what you're talking about. "Forgive me, how did you...?" he whispers, staring at the empty eyes you manage to hold pretty near to his face.

You tell your story, about how it is being blind. You have grown a sense of humor around it, talking about how every date you've had were basically "blind dates" and more jokes about it. He finds it amusing, a human being making fun of their own tragedy is something he isn't used to contemplate. Everybody take for granted their life is right and fears for pain and disease, and then there's you, living your best despite being deprived of something so esencial.

And he grows an interest in that. And he skips his plan and lets you live one more night. And then other, and other.

He goes to more dates with you, leaving you at your pace though sometimes he acts like a guide dog. When you're alone, he isn't affraid to take his glasses off, and even allows you to explore his face with your hands. "Woah, you're handsome" "It's all in the viewer..." he says and you both laugh.

Eventually he gives up with the eye-eating thing. There's something comfortable in being with you, perhaps because you cannot "see" his flaws, perhaps because your joy for life seems genuine to him. He holds onto you, literally and figuratively, like a chance to experiment other forms of pleasure. Something the Lord of Dreams won't take away from him.

This just in:

The Corinthian is trans cause I said so

Also

Morpheus is genderfluid 😌

#the corinthian #the sandman #the sandman headcanon #these are just my little headcanons #he is trans in my head #he is the king of dreams #he is an ancient being so of course he can be genderfluid

[feelingsaph]

Posted on Twitter, I'm not sure anyone would answer but.

Do the Corinthian's eye-teeth have tongues too? Would he have three tongues or just the one? Or maybe the left eye-teeth has it and the right one doesn't?

Follow up to that, would he have mini gullets too with those mini tongues? Would he need to take multiple tonsils out???

I need answers.

•Being in a Relationship with Desire•

It should come as no surprise that being with Desire is a handful.

What with their constant scheming and "up to no good" state of being.

They're the type to start filling you in on their devious, naughty plans over morning coffee and not stop until well into cocktail hour.

You knew what you signed up for though and it does please you how willingly they are to share every part of their ideas with you.

And they do fully. They will never lie to you or keep you out of the loop. You're their partner, in every way. From partner in life to partner in crime.

Can you imagine having Desire's full attention upon you? What it feels like to receive true, everlasting love from the anthropomorphic personification of desire?

They embody lust, craving, wanting and attraction so to have all those bewitching traits focused on you is like being put under a spell.

When Desire feels love and lust towards you, which is honestly all they feel besides a dash of trickery, it is an overwhelming experience.

There have been many times where a simple kiss from them brings you to your knees or a mere golden eyed glance has made you nearly faint.

Their voice makes your heart beat nearly out of your chest, their body makes you tremble and brings you the greatest form of pleasure anyone could ever know.

They are entirely devoted to you. At your beck and call. Making it their personal goal to get you anything and everything you could possibly desire.

You are spoiled rotten by them. They even created new rooms and places in the Threshold to suit your tastes, your fancies, your hobbies, etc.

They keep you close to them at all times and when you're within reach, they will be touching you in some way or another.

Softly running their manicured fingers through your hair, absently tracing any bare skin you may be showing, leaving little pecks here and there on your cheeks and neck, if only to mark you with their lipstick.

They like you on their lap, your body touching theirs so that they may see and feel the constant effect they have upon you.

So they can bear witness to the rhythm of your heart, the warmth of your skin, the color of your blush...

They are utterly faithful to you and attentive, knowing your wants and desires even before the thought occurs to you.

They are extremely protective, going as far as to not let you out of their sight unless absolutely necessary.

See, they know that because of how they interfere in their siblings lives that they are not popular amongst the Endless and should the others seek revenge, they know all too well how you are a liability.

Their eternal love for you could make you a target and they will not stand to have you be put in danger.

They will take you anywhere you want to go, in their realm, in the human world, in the universe so long as they are there beside you.

To have Desire's love feels like a never ending enchantment and the "honeymoon phase" never leaves.

Your days are filled with luxury, pleasure and allure.

It almost feels like a trance but with a life this good you hope never to awaken from this magic.

To have won Desire's heart is no mean feat and yet they have given it to you, figuratively and literally.

They are yours and you are forever and ever theirs.

Timezone by Maneskin is giving Rockstar/Band Morpheus AU like him coming back from a tour and ravishing you once he has you in his arms again (and I physically cannot listen to this without thinking about him now 😩)

Alright, so I finally looked at the lyrics to the song and they fit perfectly with your thoughts! I tried to articulate and analyze some parts but I hope you like it! 🙈

Now I know you're sleeping, Where I'm supposed to be in, Wish I could've stayed.

The regret he feels leaving you while deciding to go on tour with his gang. Perhaps you have other obligations like your university program or a demanding job not to mention it turned into a world tour so you haven't seen him in months and ache for him and yearn.

Only thing that keeps us apart. Is seven thousand miles, running like a mad dog, Only thing that keeps us apart, Is a different timezone, So fuck what I'm dreaming, this fame has no meaning, I'm coming home, Only thing that keeps us apart, Is a different timezone.

This part is giving me the movie frame of the couple lying with their back to the door, but with different backgrounds reaching out behind them to find their missing half. Morpheus hasn't slept in days and the crew is on the last leg of the tour and he's losing his mind, the brief calls between you doing nothing to satiate this need for you, how he craves to hold you close, inhale the scent of your shampoo and litter you with thousands of kisses. You feel the same, void and empty without him next to you, your dreams unbearable the quiet of your room doing little to soothe you on those late nights.

Tomorrow I got another plane, I'm not gonna take it, Instead, I'm gonna fly straight to you, I paid double for the tickets, And I don't give a shit about the contracts that I signed, And they can say whatever, we'll be making love, I'm fucking you tonight

Then like you said, Rogue this definitely has the vibe of him busting through the door practically rabid, his muscles flexing in his back top, ripped black jeans and black converse. You're sure your mouth hangs agape but not for long cause he's grasping you like a lifeline and whispering all the things he wants to do to you.

You groan, gasping for air as you break away, knowing you look a complete mess as you were finishing up dinner or work so you toss that aside and pull him to your room like "better get going, yeah? We've got lots to make up for, Morpheus."

The subtle smirk lights his features and his eyes darken as he takes you in nodding in kind as he kisses your hand, before utterly ravishing your lips and pulling you in his arms, holding you so tight while he lays you down on your back, determined. "For you my love, anything."

Lucienne headcanon (The sandman):

I think Lucienne likes ice skating and Morpheus knows that;

Sometimes when it's snowing in the Dreaming, Morpheus creates an ice rink/path where Lucienne can go wherever she wants, skating instead of walking around the kingdom while she has to do her duties outside the castle.

She does this in a very natural and graceful way, and Morpheus enjoys watching his librarian happy about it.

YOOOO MASON IS ON BOARD!

@nualaofthefaerie tweeted this after we were geeking out yesterday about how much Lukas Gage reminded us of Desire and I joked that he was Desire's child.

Listen I am full on headcanoning this into reality. That Cat King was faaaar too much like Desire for me to ignore it. Huuuuge Desire vibes!

Clearly Desire themself agrees with us!

So what are we thinking? Talk to meeee about this! Who is the other parent? Lukas Gage is a child of the Endless with 9 lives and whole host of magical powers and probably a lot of parental issues twisting him up. Is Desire a good parent? Highly unlikely lol. But you gotta admit it makes for excellent fanfiction. :P
