I can’t title this or explain this writing.

Just accept this thing that came out of silly ideas brain storming with @hydrangeasheart This is kinda based on their AO3 story au but could be read without context from the story (probably)

Important points are just that - Dream is possessed by Demon still (Dreamon) and Phil, Techno, Ranboo and Tommy are all living in Techno’s house. It’s crammy.

Word count: 3261

English is not my first language so there might be some grammar errors

-----------

“Technoblade, we need to talk.” “Do we now?” “Yes. I know we both don’t exactly like each other, but this is about Dream.” “Now why would you think that will make me more inclined to listen to you?” “I am unarmed, the worst I can do is spit on you.” “Gross. Fine. You have five minutes.” “Something weird happened the other day.”

-----------

“Come here Fundy~” Dream called, as he walked towards Fundy, keeping up with his pace even though Fundy was running. “No! I am sorry! Please leave me alone!” Fundy yelled, almost stumbling. “Come on Fundy~ We can have fun together~” Even without seeing his face, you could hear his excitement from the chase in his voice.

“Fundy over here!” Puffy called to him. Fundy quickly made a turn and ran towards her, causing Dream to also start running now.

Fundy was screaming off the top of his lungs as he ran into the border of the Holy Land, the land of Twitch Prime church. Puffy caught Fundy into a hug, embracing him into her protection, as Bad came to stand next to them, already pissed to see Dream causing misery on another child yet again. Dream did not stop, even when he saw them. There was something maniacal and threatening in his movements.

Well… Until one moment anyway.

The moment that Dream’s body passed the border into the Holy Land, it was as if his body just stopped mid air, before he fell face first into the dirt. The sight of dream just down on the earth with his face in the dirt was definitely an unexpected sight. The fact he didn’t immediately get up as well, but rather just laid there for a moment was even weirder.

-----------

“Dream just wanted to kiss the dirt.” Techno commented as the eyes of the other side bore into him. “Can you shut up and listen?” The other nether creature replied as Techno just shrugged. “The next part was really unpredictable and weird.”

-----------

The first to break the silence that fell on all of them was Fundy - as he barked out a laugh. Dream slowly sat up, crossing his legs and looking around him rather confused.

“What… What is going on?” Dream spoke up, turning his head to look at the trio. Fundy was still trying to calm his laugh while Dream just whipped the dirt off his mask without taking it off. “Uhh… We are supposed to ask you that.” Captain Puffy asked gently, nudging Fundy to stand behind her. Dream kinda nodded along, but it was obvious he was still severely confused over something, as his nodding just kinda went on.

“Dream did you just hit your head? Do you have a concussion or something?” Bad spoke up, causing Dream to turn his head to look at him. He tilted his head a little, as if considering that as an option. “You were chasing Fundy when you just… It looked like you stumbled on air. How did you even fall?” “I-- I can’t say I am totally sure where I am even… So Uhm… Could I uhh… Could we put this whole thing aside for a moment while I go to uhh… Corner… To… Regroup myself?” Dream slowly got up, cleaning the dirt off himself in light brushes. Fundy hid behind Puffy, as she looked over to Bad. Bad just looked like he was trying to process everything as he kinda gestures to a corner behind the church.

“Uhh, remember no fighting or killing on Twitch Prime Holy Land” Bad simply added as Dream walked over to the corner.

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

“Oh wait, I can hear my tea kettle going off.” “Technoblade!” “Just relax. Dream walked off anyway, right? Bad, Puffy and Fundy probably just stared at him until he did something else weird. The story is at a pause from Bad’s point of view.” “You talk as if there is another one.” The visitor scoffed as Techno rolled his eyes. “There is, just not one that we know.”

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

“Yo, what the fuck was that right now?” Dream grumbled, turning with his back to the trio and taking off his mask to clean it better. No answer came back to him. “Real mature, can you talk to me and explain yourself? The sudden switch really hurt! It’s not fun to kiss the goddamn dirt.”

The ever staying silence was growing unsettling for Dream. It’s not like he didn’t like it. He preferred his head to be quiet, and having control over his body is definitely nicer than not, but this was all too weird.

He placed the mask back around his face, securing it tightly. He tried to find a reason for the sudden switch, this was definitely not normal for the Demon to do. He wasn’t in any danger, could it be that it didn’t want to deal with BadBoyHalo again? That is a possibility but the Demon was feeling cockily confident this time around so…

He took a look around the Holy Land. He realizes now that he was never really here… This specific land anyway was created after he was already possessed. He saw it from the outside, but he, well, the Demon never really stepped into-- He let his arms drop to his sides.

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

“Anyway yeah, I am here.” “It’s cold out here.” “Yeah, well, deal with it. You are not coming into my house. Continue your Bad’s story that he told you. Dream went to the corner, what happened then?” “I am glad you are so interested in the story.”

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

“You can’t be on this land. You can’t control me while I am here, I am free here!” Dream practically shouted. “Uhh Dream?” Bad spoke, catching his attention again. It seemed as if he forgot that there were people around him and was just reminded of that fact. He turned to look at the trio who were awfully confused. Puffy had that motherly worried look in her eyes, and Bad could see how he obviously was attracted to Puffy’s motherly nature. He was her duckling as she used to say. He kind of moved to stand in front of Puffy as well now. He looked like there were plans running through his head, something that worried and scared Bad.

“I have a question about the Holy Land.” Dream came over casually, trying not ro make any sudden movements that might give them any concerns, even though he could clearly see on their faces they already thought he was insane. “Uhh… This is a change of topic but sure?” Bad spoke. All of them stared at him in curiosity. “Can I live on it?”

-----------

“Pfft-- Nerd I knew he was homeless.” “Technoblade.” Techno notioned the action zipping his lips as the other sighed.

-----------

“What???” The reply was almost sung in unison by the trio. Dream simply nodded, placing one of his hands in the pocket of his hoodie, waiting patiently for a reply. “I mean… There are no rules against it…?” Puffy started, trailing off to look at Bad as if he will have any help in finding a proper reply for Dream. Bad was looking just as confused, and he also looked like he was still processing everything. “But I think you will make people uncomfortable here with all your gear and--” “That is not a problem!” Dream replied before Puffy could finish her sentence.

He started to drop to the ground everything he had on him. Protective gear, his sword, his axe, his crossbow, his bow, his arrows, even his golden apples and potions. Fundy in a hurry starts to pull everything to a pile behind Puffy and Bad, looking in awe at the gear. “Wait Dream, are you being serious here? No tricks, no lies, no--” “No manipulation.” Dream finished Bad’s words before placing his last golden apple down, as it gets snatched by Fundy right away.

“I think I will live here like a monk. That sounds so exciting, doesn’t it? Me living like a monk. Devote myself to church prime, away from causing harm and instead taking care of this land. More purple flowers will be nice for this place, no?”

-----------

A laugh fell out of Techno’s lips. “A monk?” He snorted, unable to contain his amusement. Dream surprised him a lot in the past couple of years, mostly for the worse, but this was a whole new thing. “Hey, that is what Bad told me.” Sapnap crossed his arms, growing irritated with the pig’s attitude. “And you believe everything Bad tells you?” Techno let another amused gruff leave his throat as Sapnap growled lowly. “No. I went to check it out myself.” “Oh?”

-----------

“Dream?” Sapnap called, as he walked into the Holy Land. He can’t deny the fact that the land looked a lot more taken care of. With more flowers around and well cut grass… Was Dream actually staying here and taking care of the place? Dream came out of a tiny shack that was built inside the borders of the Holy Land. It was off to the side, and there wasn’t even a proper path yet. He looked towards Sapnap, and moved the mask a little to reveal a genuine happy smile.

“Dream, what is this? What are you doing?” “Reforming! And terraforming. Wanna see the wheat farm?? Oh it came out so beautiful! I am actually farming! Can you believe that?” Dream started to speak, so excited as if he wasn’t allowed to talk to anyone in years.

He simply also started to walk away from Sapnap, leading him to the wheat farm he didn’t ask to see. “That… That is a nice farm… Dream do you not remember all the shit you have done?” Dream quickly ran his hand over the wheats before sighing and turning to Sapnap. “You think I can forget? I can’t. There is no forgetting, and believe me when I say that there is no one, and I mean no one, who hates me more than me.” Sapnap couldn’t see Dream’s eyes, but he didn’t need to see them. His voice spoke truth. The way he bite his lower lip, before letting a sigh out and forcing a smile back.

“I am guessing Bad told you. I really do mean what I said. I am planning to stay in this land. I can’t fix what has been done… But I can at least stay here and… And…” Dream stumbled over his words for a moment. “And be a monk?” Sapnap asked, crossing his arms, earning an iconic Dream laugh. “Yes! Do you want to taste the cake I baked? I think it came out decent!”

-----------

“No Techno, that is stupid! I am not going to allow you to do that!” Phil’s worried tone echoed through the house. Ranboo buried his head further into Tommy’s lap, as Tommy just gently placed his hands over his ears as if that would help.

“Do you think he will go…?” Ranboo eventually asked, when it sounded like Techno and Phil walked away from each other. “I… I don’t know…” Tommy admitted. “I know he is my big brother and all but… Techno was always full of surprises I guess…” Ranboo simply hummed in agreement. “I wish Sapnap didn’t come here. Phil sounds so worried for Techno.” “I think it’s because he knows Techno is able to sneak out.” Tommy sighed. “I mean this is his house.” Ranboo added, making Tommy chuckle.

“Boys,” Phil’s voice came from the door, as Ranboo sat up to look at him and Tommy turned to look at him, “It’s bedtime, did you brush your teeth Tommy?” He asked as Tommy groaned, making Ranboo snicker.

-----------

“Techno?” Tommy slurred tiredly, watching Techno wear his cape. “Go back to sleep, Tommy. I will be back by morning.” He walked over to Tommy and messed up his hair before picking up his axe. “Are you going to see him…?” Tommy looked at Techno with worried eyes as Techno held back a sigh but let his shoulders drop a little. “Yeah, I have to see Monk Dream. Can you imagine how stupid he looks?” He tried to joke, turning his back on Tommy. He could hear Tommy stifling a laugh, and he smiles to himself.

“Stay safe, okay?” “Holy Land or not, my axe was never a believer.” “Techno!” “Shhh, I won't disrespect the Holy Land, I promise. Go to bed.”

Techno opened the door. When he didn’t hear Tommy walking away, he turned to look at him again. “Good night Tommy.” Tommy let a smile stretch on his lips. “Good night Techno.”

The moment Techno closed the door he was face to face with Ghostbur. He almost jumped out of his own skin, placing a hand over his chest to try and swallow the yelp that got stuck in his throat. He still needed to stay quiet, it’s the first time in forever where Phil actually fell asleep and he can leave quietly.

“Ghostbur, can you no?” He grumbled as Ghostbur smiled weakly. “Sorry, I was just worried about you.” “Worried? Why?” Techno didn’t wait for a reply from Ghostbur, as he began to walk away from the house. Ghostbur, of course, just floated along. “I overheard your talk with Phil… From a couple of days ago? He doesn’t want you to go see Dream.”

Techno stayed silent. He couldn’t be upset at Phil not wanting him to visit Dream, especially not alone. After everything that Dream did? And even if he was to go to see Dream with someone else by his side… It wouldn’t be right, not like he has who to tag along. He needs to see this “monk phase” that Dream is going through. He chuckled at his own thoughts. Ghostbur tilted his head, trying to look at Techno without floating into a tree by accident. Techno just shook his head.

“I need to see this for myself, Ghostur. It’s important to me.” “Even if you are going against Phil’s wishes?” “Phil won’t be mad for long over this, he will understand. He has every right to worry, but I am an adult. I can make my own choices.”

Ghostbur stayed silent for a moment. Techno looked at him from the corner of his eyes. He sometimes wondered what went in Ghostbur’s head. His thoughts must be so different then Wilbur’s as he is in general so different from him.

God this wasn’t the time to miss Wilbur.

“Well, I surely can’t stop you, so can I just be your escort until we get there?” “I won’t refuse the company.”

-----------

Techno stood at the border of the Twitch Prime Holy Land, and watched as Dream watered the flowers at the moon light. He couldn’t bring himself to call out to Dream. Not like he needed to, it didn’t take Dream long to notice him and wave over to him. He decided against waving back, standing guard with the axe in hand. His knuckles whitened as he tightened the grip on the axe. He watched Dream place down the watering can and walk over to him, stopping a good distance from the border. Techno couldn’t help but note that he didn’t stop away from him, but away from the border.

“So you really meant it when you said you are not going to leave the borders of the Holy Land.” Techno decided to break the silence. As much silence they can get in the middle of the night. The crickets were goddamn loud, but it still felt awfully quiet. Especially because the voices in his head seemed to be at rest as well, or maybe just curious of how this will all go down.

Dream reached up to take off his mask, as he smiled widely. “I did. It’s great to see you Tech! You were one of those people I was sure that wouldn’t come to see me…” Dream looked around the Holy Land. His face looked to be content and happy.

“Why stay there?” Techno asked, trying to keep his composer. He knew Ghostbur was probably watching them from afar, so he did his best to keep himself calm. But this situation was too surreal. He ran the blade of the axe around the outside of the border. Dream crooked his head to look at the blade then at Techno.

“It’s quiet here. No voices, no one to control me, no one to tell me what to do, I am free to just…” He stopped himself for a moment as Techno squinted at him, waiting for him to finish. Techno’s voices were always slightly quieter around the Twitch Prime church, but he always guessed they were just against religion. Did Dream have voices as well? And this talk about no one controlling him…

He never did finish his sentence.

“Do you like the flowers?” Dream gestured to the various flowers planted around. “They seem lovely, I am sure.” “Oh right, you aren’t wearing your glasses. Must be tough to see in the dark without them.” Dream started to tap his cheek with one hand, and his mask with another hand. If the mask was on his face, he would simply tap it. Techno hated the fact that he knew his mannerism so well, but also found it so comforting to see him act the same as they were kids.

“You are not going to try and force me into the Holy Land to see your little flowers?” Techno asked, trying to read Dream’s expression. It was honestly just pure thinking. As if this man was not manipulating his little brothers a couple of weeks ago. Dream simply shook his head. “I can’t force you to come in, Techno. It’s not the same as we were kids…”

Quiet fell between them. Technoblade couldn’t explain it, but he hung his axe into his belt and simply fixed the braces on his arms. Something about that sentence alone made him decide to let his guard down, just a little.

“So uh… What else besides the flowers are you doing here?” Dream’s lips spread into a wide smile.

“I baked cookies! I was told the cake I baked was not great, and I have to say I kind of agree, maybe more frosting is needed, but you can’t go wrong with chocolate chip cookies!” Dream’s enthusiasm about cookies was almost ridiculous to listen to. “Where did you get the cocoa beans?” Techno asked, trying to sound casual and not tease Dream’s behavior. “Oh, Puffy agreed to bring me things for stuff like this, saying she will supervise me to make sure I am staying true to my word. I actually enjoy her company, she is very motherly.” Dream smiled. Before Techno could even question the part of supervision or the motherly behavior, Dream started to talk again.

“Oh! And apparently, come here along the border-” He spoke as he started to walk along the inside border with a few good feet from it, as Techno reluctantly followed along the outside of the border, “This area is considered also a part of the Holy Land! This little water area. So yesterday, you won’t believe this, But I fished!” “You are right, I don’t believe you.” Techno tried to stifle a laugh, but an amused snort still escaped. “You laugh! But I have caught two fishes!” “Oh yeah? How long did that take you?” “We don’t talk about that.”

Techno started to laugh, this all felt so familiar and so right, it almost felt wrong. But he laughed, and Dream huffed before joining into the laugh with Techno.
