Why did Dream run away in 1889

(Comic spoilers)

The reason why Dream was so offended AND dipped (beside his usual pride) during the 1889 meeting is simple: A lot of the relationships he has had, or has been offered/promised, were used against him or his wish.

It's a realization I only had this morning but-

In the comics, when he was much- much younger, Dream had a girlfriend, Killala, he brought her to a conference of stars and introduced her to them and even Desire. At that time, Desire was Dream's favorite sibling. Killala fell in love with the sun of her system, with Desire's interference, Dream of course was hurt and told Desire not to meddle again. (and Desire was basically "can't he take a joke?") This is where their bad blood started.

Later, Dream reached out to all his siblings for help, only Desire answered. Desire created Alianora. A new lover, someone to rescue him asking to Dream not to hurt her. They had a fall out in the end, it's unclear whether it was a genuine effort from Desire or another game but- it's pattern. And Desire blamed Dream for not holding up to the end of his bargain

Desire was the one responsible of the attraction between Dream and Nada, a mortal. Now there's only two rules Endless have to follow

1. Do not kill another Endless

2. Do not fall in love with mortals.

This love between Dream and Nada lead to her village destruction and her death, and in the end- to her banishment to hell after she refused to become Dream's Queen when he went to get her in the sunless lands. Desire somewhere states that "Nada was a mistake" which kind of confirms their involvement in this story.

Even his mother, tried to use relationships against him. He reaches out for her for help (in my memory, it's to stop the end of a universe), she dismiss his concerns and tell him to stay by her side. Proposing him a fake Dream realm and a relationship.

When he refuses, she flings him into the black hole he used to reach her. The only reason he managed to get out of it is because he manifested dreams into Destiny's realm, until Destiny had enough and summoned Dream to have him explain.

When looking at all this, it's clear why Dream is so isolated, lonely, and dip at the first sign of affection (platonic or not), it's clearly something he wants and craves, but it's almost impossible for him to maintain one. First because he doesn't know how to deal with them, he asked Nada two times to be his queen, she refused, and then asked her once again after she died, he was rather distant with Calliope and Orpheus only furthered that rift. He doesn't know how to deal with love (and seeing how inacessible and dismissive his parents are, it makes sense) and second is all of this- his lovers, and wants for connection is used against him.

So what do you do when you're faced with the possibility it might happen again? You dip, screw every chances that it might happen. (Dream's also a prideful person, it's a mix of both)

(I haven't even mentionned how Destruction and Death helped Orpheus, which led to his demise cause this post is already long enough- but it might have played a part too)

To quote the comics "For love is no part of the dream-world. Love belongs to Desire, and Desire is always cruel." Any relationship he'd have would be probably spent in anguish while he waits for the other shoe to drop.

I've got another Morpheus and Daughter!Reader request that can be a prequel or sequel to the previous one. I hope it's good: Morpheus struggles to give his daughter the birds and bees talk. Desire offers to help but Morpheus is reluctant to let them until his daughter says something along the lines of "Please let my aunt-uncle help and put aside your issues with them for a few minutes for my sake!". Desire actually winds up explaining it well seeing as they have a lot of experience when it comes to sexual things.

Okay this concept has me LAUGHING! Dream having to turn to Desire for this is just golden!

"Father," you called out as you exited the library with the book in your hand.

"Yes, dear one?" He answered from the throne room. "Do you need something?"

"I have a question." You held the book out to him and pointed. "What is sex?"

Dream practically choked on his words as he looked at the book and quietly asked, "Why are you reading this?"

You shrugged. "It looked interesting. I enjoy the story, but parts of it are confusing."

"What parts?"

"Well the ones with these words: sex, penetration, co-"

"That is enough reading for the day!" He answered quickly. "Why don't you go for a walk?"

You sighed but did as he suggested while the great king sought out Lucienne to demand to know why you'd been allowed access to such books. The librarian calmly reminded him that you were of age and that she could not possibly bar you from reading what you wished. And so the endless being of greater power than any could know, sought out out late in the evening with a gentle knock on your door.

"Dear one?" He called out.

"Come in," you answered.

He quietly sat down beside you with a heavy breath. "I apologize for my curt response earlier. Your questions are normal, and I would like to answer them for you." You waited patiently for him to continue. But the longer he sat there looking at you... at his precious little girl, he found himself unable to find the right way to go about it.

Instead, he offered to answer your questions the following day, which led him to his gallery, holding his sibling's sigil and grumbling the words. Desire smiled through the glass. "What a surprise! Do tell me what I can help you with, big brother."

"My daughter has some questions," Dream said.

"Answer them then."

"Questions about..." He sighed. "About intimacy."

Their laughter echoed in his ears. "Ohhh I see, our little flower is getting ready to have her petals plucked."

He growled. "That is not what is happening!"

"Send her to me tomorrow and I'll handle it."

"Desire-"

"Fret not, big brother, I'll be as boring as I can be."

He hated this idea, but he feared he'd only confuse you more. So, first thing in the morning you joined Desire in their realm and listened to them as they spoke on what they called "the birds and the bees". You left with the knowledge you wished and surprisingly enough you assured Dream that you'd had fun.

"You had fun?"

You nodded. "Yes, Desire made learning very easy! They should teach more."

Dream's brows furrowed. "So you have no more questions?"

"Not at the moment," you answered. "Is something the matter?"

"No," he answered, shaking his head. "I suppose there isn't."

You hugged him for a quick moment. "Thank you for helping me, Father."

He kissed your head. "Always, my dear one."

Two Times Desire Leaves You Hanging .... & One Time You Get Sweet Revenge

Pairing: Desire x gn!reader

Warnings: orgasm denial, edging, rutting, hair-pulling, semi-public sex, I have not read the comics only watched the show, apologies (although I’d love to get my hands on all the comics)

Originally suggested by: @sherazyjade, inspired by this post

*goes to get my headcanons scanned* "Congratulations, its a fic!"

fuck me

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

Summary: Desire enjoys denying their favorites ... unfortunately you've been high up on that list ever since you stumbled into an unlikely friendship with Dream. Whatever their brother had, Desire wanted their claws on ...in...around. You get the picture.

they had you wrapped around their perfectly manicure fingers from the first time your lips connected: New Year's Eve in a fever rush of bodies and lights

Desire showed up to satisfy their curiosity about you and "bumped into you" on the dancefloor

the stranger with golden eyes and chiseled cheekbones was just so intriguing to talk to, and made you feel so comfortable in their arms, like you'd known them forever

(you just couldn't remember where you'd met before, though they assured you that you had)

and the way they moved against you on the dance floor in time with pulsing music... soon you were drifting away from your circle of friends towards the outer edges of the dancefloor

you didn’t know who kissed who first but before you knew it things were hot and heavy, you were tangling your hands in their stiff slicked-backed hair

"My .... you are something, Y/N..." they purred appreciatively, their lipstick-smudged lips were parted and breathless.

With a mischievous glint in their eyes, they slipped their hands under the hem of your clothing, scratching lightly over you skin with their nails

at that point, you'd had enough teasing

you snatched their hands in yours and pull them away from the crowd, resolute

you were trying to hide the fact that your legs were trembling with the want coursing through your veins, your skin sensitive and hot

it's all you could do to walk in a straight line

You found the nearest exit, and, leaning against the wall in the darkened hallway and pulled them flush against you eagerly

kissing you open-mouthed with tongue, Desire was more than happy to oblige, they grabbed your ass harshly and ground their hips up against your's

You growled in frustration into the nape of their neck, and paw at the waistband of their trousers

"Frustrated, are we?" they chuckle.

You whined incoherently in response

They tugged your hair, pulling your head to the side and whisper in your ear, "You don't know the half of it, Y/N."

they unceremoniously shoved their knee between your parted thighs, momentarily satisfying the ache that was building between them

the music and the voices of the revelers still droned in your ears, but you were hyperfocused on the gorgeous being who torturing you

you moaned and rutted against there leg, begging for more

“Ohh...since you asked so prettily ...” they whispered.

The sucked and bit at your neck, before pinning your wrists against the wall behind you with one hand, pulling you farther up their thigh with other.

You moved on each other shamelessly, frantically, sinful little noises escaping your throats at the friction you generated

“We should … go somewhere more private.” You managed to form a coherent sentence.

They froze.

“We should, should we?”

You stared into their golden orbs in confusion as they pulled away, grinning, but suddenly aloof.

“Tell me, though, this must be rather sudden for you. Are you sure?”

You nodded firmly. “I know what I want .” Wasn’t it obvious?

“Good … very good…” they murmured, their voice dripping with honey.

You stepped towards them, eager to be back in their arms. But as you reached out to touch them black smoke began to rise off them like vapor.

You withdrew your hand in shock as it swirled and flashed.

“I’m so glad you know what it is you truly desire, Y/N…” they said, enveloped in the shadows. “…now, hold that thought.”

You blinked, and they were gone.

“What the actual fuck?”

Edit: made a new blog, follow mostly-morpheus-and-myths for more

the endless is my current favorite dysfunctional family. Dream is so petty and Desire just lives to cause problems on purpose, then they rope their whole family into the drama! Despair just always goes along with desire, and Death is just trying to keep Dream from being stupid. Destruction is the estranged one that left when he turned 18. Delirium is the youngest who has been so psychically damaged by her older siblings bullshit. and Destiny is the oldest who just sits in his garden watching it all go down.

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?..

Oneshot: Desire x Soul Bound Reader

All She Desired

Requested by @erynion-rogueofthegreenwoods sorry for the wait! 😅 I hope you enjoy it! I used Desires Greek name in this and also had her refer to the reader as Briar as a sort if pet name. 🥰

TW: fluff, angst, minor depictions of blood and violence, character death

"I can offer you anything you desire." The words were ones they'd said so many times before, it was their job after all, but this time was different. She was different. They meant it this time. Meant it in a way that they hadn't been capable of understanding before. It was terrifying, thrilling and it had them completely at her mercy.

The beautiful woman smiled down at them, tall and muscular with a smile that could capture one's heart in an instant and eyes that could do so in less time. She held Desires hands, encompassing them completely in just one palm. "You are all that I desire, my lovely Epithumia."

Their heart swelled at the sound of their old Greek name rolling off her tongue so easily. Desire flashed her a wide grin, pulling them into her wide chest. "My dear Briar, what a fair creature you are."

Though their soulmate was a warrior in every sense of the word she was so soft, her skin and her touch… It was like being held by a mighty goddess of silk and sunshine. She blushed, nuzzling her head against Desires with a blissful sigh. "Cease your flattery, golden minx, or I'll be forced to toss you over my shoulder and whisky you away!"

"Is that supposed to be a punishment?" They laughed, arching a brow. "If so I'll have to be on my worst behavior."

Briar rolled her eyes and lifted their chin. "You're impossible."

"For you always," Desire replied, pressing a soft kiss to her lips, teasing as they always were, until she pulled them in completely.

It had been nearly a year since Desire had met the woman that now held their heart completely. Nearly a year of passion and love and being absolutely consumed by the sensations they'd never even been able to imagine before. Desire was so accustomed to making others feel these things, lust and love and passion and wanting… They'd never truly understood their function in this dreary universe before, but their thorny and sweet Briar had changed that. She had helped change them.

When Lucifer's demonic messengers had come to Desire asking them to align with the Legions of Hell and the formidable Lightbringer to rise up against Dream and bring their dear brother to his knees once and for all, Desire was surprised to find themselves reluctant. Before it was all they'd ever wanted, to see that self righteous and always stuck up Dream to fall. But now, the offer, one of undeniable violence and bloodshed, held little spark to it. The relationship between Desire and Dream was still nearly nonexistent, but when Briar had been plagued by terrible nightmares it had been Dream that accepted their less than humble request for them to cease. Since then there had been a rare moment of understanding between the two. Desire declined the Morningstar's offer. Declined the very thing that had driven their games and manipulations for eons. They didn't need that anymore, not when they had her.

Desire often watched her train. Her broad shoulders glistened with a sheen of sweat, the muscles of her arms and legs bulging with every dodge and strike and block. Their warrior was a formidable force. It took five grown men to give her even a challenge! Though Desire knew they were stronger than her, they enjoyed letting the beauty manhandle them with those soft hands and enticing grunts. But in truth, Desire's favorite moments were the ones of peace, quiet. They ran their fingers through her hair, her head laying in their lap. Their eyes drank in the heart that stood out against the skin of her wrist, their mark. Hers, a rose, flashed in the corner of their eyes as they continued their light touches.

Desire's mind twisted darkly, a familiar and ugly thought filling their body with a moment of painful dread. You'll only hurt her in the end. It was something Desire feared more than they let on. Old rules and, well, just their nature for consuming things entirely did not bode well for their odd pairing. Briar opened one eye and looked up at her lover with a questioning gaze. "What are you thinking about?"

"The usual debauchery. Why?" They answered, pushing the unpleasant fears away with a grin. "Do you have similar thoughts plaguing that lovely brain of yours?"

She smiled. "You've seemed different. Lighter."

Desire's face scrunched, a hand flying to clutch the pearls that appeared around their neck. "Are you insinuating I was heavy?"

"You know what I mean minx." Briar laughed, running her fingers through their soft hair. "You seem happy."

"I am happy," they admitted. "How could I not be when I've captured the strongest, most beautiful and sensual creature in the world?"

Briar's eyes gleamed as she raised her brows. "You never cease to come up with new titles for yourself."

"I was speaking of you my love."

"Oh!" She feigned shock. "Apologies, dearest, you're just so vocal about how magnificent you are."

Desire held her face in their hands and shook their head. "Don't be cruel, my flower."

"To you, never," she answered. "I am glad you are happy, Epithumia. You deserve it."

"I don't."

Briars hand hit their shoulder, such a blow would have probably taken a normal human out, but Desire just chuckled, rubbing the area lightly. "No fussing now. Just enjoy the moment, my enduring heart."

I enjoy every moment with you, they thought to themselves, closing their eyes and quietly wishing this blissfulness could last forever. Then they had been unaware of just how little time was left.

Blood coated the ground below their feet as they moved through the carnage that had consumed the town. Desire was no stranger to such things, war and violence and death, it was all simply part of humanity. They were, however, new to the fear that settled in their gut as they searched for their lover's silhouette in the rising smoke. "Briar!"

A flash of steel caught their eye just in time for them to step back as the blade came sweeping down towards them. Desire sneered at the demon that welded the weapon and dug their fingers,I told its shoulder, throwing it out of the way. "BRIAR!"

They had to find her… Had to get her out of this place. Desire searched for what felt like hours. They fended off every demon that dared cross their path, searching with an ever growing fear. They heard it before they saw it, steel singing as it sailed through the air, but when the spear should have impaled them it didn't. Instead the sharp point dug into Briars back, the sharpened tip of it sticking slightly out of her chest. Harsh garbled breaths escaped her lips… The lips they'd kissed only a mere few hours ago as she fell to her knees in front of Desire.

"There you are…" She whispered with a weak smile. Her hand cupped their cheek, wiping away tears they hadn't even felt. "I've been looking everywhere for you, my golden minx."

"No…" Desire said quietly, as though the word would have the power to undo what had happened. Their hands steady her as she began to falter. "Why did you do that?!"

"I told you… I was willing to die for you," Briar answered, speaking the words she'd once said, back when they were nothing more than two strangers forced together.

Desire clamped their eyes shut, cursing themselves for not telling her of their true nature. For not warning her of the coming danger, but most of all for not letting her go as they knew they should have from the start. "I do not want you to die. Not ever. Not for me."

Briar chuckled softly. "Look at me. Please, my heart."

Their golden eyes stared down at her as the color of her cheeks began to drain, but even now Briar only smiled. "You have been all I could have ever desired, my love, my Epithumia... All I desired."

Desire held her until the very end, guilt and pain and longing consuming them as Death laid a warm and gentle hand on their shoulder. "I am sorry, sibling. I promise to guide her along her coming journey."

"Don't bother," they whispered, stroking her cheek and placing one last kiss on her lips. "She will insist on doing it in her own way." Their eyes looked down at the rose, now consumed with black veins and then they stood, carrying her body away from the wretched blood soaked earth. Desire found the hilltop where they'd met and buried her there beneath the thicket of roses and thorns, the memory all they had left to comfort them.

Her sword kissed their skin as she held it to their neck. All they could do was grin at her. "What have you done to me, witch?"

"Witch?" They mused. "Quite a formidable title to give a stranger."

"You are no mere stranger. I've seen you change faces, heard you speak in different voices… And now this!" She gestured to her arm.

Desire ignored how they filled with pride and longing at the sight of their mark on her. "It looks lovely on you, even if you are being quite unreasonable."

The woman scoffed. "Is it unreasonable to assume you mean to harm me with whatever this is?"

"Yes." They purred. "I would never hurt a creature as beautiful and strong as you."

Her lashes fluttered, a rosey blush rising to her cheeks and neck. She'd not been expecting such a forward response. "If not to harm me then what is it for?"

Desire shrugged a shoulder. "I suppose the most simple answer would be to bind us… You and I."

Her grip on the sword loosened as she took in their words. Desire hit the blade away, driving it into the rose bushes and watched as this woman… Their soul bound regarded them with an impressed look. "Bind us?"

They pulled her sword from the thorny bush. "No more questions, sweet thing." They handed the weapon back to her with a smile.

"Who are you?" She questioned.

"You may call me Epithumia." Desire plucked a flower and held it out to her. "For you, my thorny and beautiful Briar."

Heyyyyy can you do something where the reader is a dream or a nightmare and falls in love with desire

I'm going to mix this with another request because I can make it work haha anyhoo let's get started.

other Request: I'm feeling really sad and I just want someone to hold me and tell me everything is gonna be ok could you write something for desire comforting the reader when they don't feel worthy enough of love

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o

My Dream Lover~

You were created by Dream to be a nightmare. what was questioned was the fact that you were considered a nightmare disguised as a dream. You didn't mind at first, but as time passed seeing people get drawn to you just to slip into a nightmare and were not afraid of you and you felt terrible sitting alone.

after a few months of being created, you meant another Endless named Desire your master wanted to teach Desire a lesson and made you hunt their dreams.

that was the best thing that happened to you because Desire didn't fear you at all they told you that you were still their beautiful dream. of course after some time you told your master that they was "afraid" just to have moments to visit your new lover.

One day you came crying because dream had found out about you and Desire being together and they made it frankly impossible for you to visit. You assumed this was because you was a nightmare and you were not allowed to love or not good enough.

Desire pulled you close to them. "No my big brother is wrong everyone is capable of love just as everyone is capable of dreaming. You are worthy of love. While you was created as a nightmare by him. I consider you my perfect dream and if need be you can remain here by my side. And if big brother has a problem with it he can talk to me"

You looked at them surprised "y-you really mean that?" "I do love you could say your my dream lover." You giggle and lay your head on their chest.

Morpheus did come and desire made it clear that you will remain with them but made a simple suggestion that they will continue to do their duties as a nightmare but will come back to them. Morpheus hated that one of his creations was here but he agreed. "Don't harm a hair on them Sibling."

"Oh sweet dream you know i won't" when they left Desire called out to you and you came hugging them close and kissing them deeply. Desire would take you to the waking world whenever your not working and show you around letting you try new things and such it was fun to you.

They showed you everything they can while they was free themselves before letting you meet their two youngest siblings their twin Despair and Delirium both which accepted you seeing as Desire did.

You and Desire was entering their gallery "well my love i see you soon and remember no matter what, you are my beautiful dream and no one will change that" you nod giving them one final kiss before taking your leave.

"See you soon~"

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o
