#also i've decided to name this kryptonite au since wilbur is literally dream's kryptonite

[cdreambur]

tumblr didnt notify me!!! >:( !!!

yeeesss this this htisssss wil cant comprehend that those two are the same exact person!! How could they? One is the most annoying thing ever, 'an ulcer on ass' as one saying goes, while the other is the literal angel on Earth (he can fly too, so extra points on the angel scale)

How does Wil try to tackle the whole debacle in his head? also im going to lean on you for the worldbuilidng bits since i did not grow up with any kind of popular superhero media :sob: i only know some kind of spiderman stuff from game playthrough

Does he think about the fact that the reason for seeking out the hero are starting to shift?

most of the stuff until now, i've based on comics, but i'm also adding a bunch of my own ideas here because ✨creative freedom✨

but yeah, i think he struggles a lot. this part of his world has been turned upside down and it's hard to look at dream and superman respectively because now that he knows, he sees traces of the other persona shimmer through.

he has no idea how to feel about it, and in the end, he chooses the easy way out: focus on his job.

which is easier said than done when things start to change after a bank heist where he was held hostage and superman saved him.

dream starts being really nice to him at work, even declining big opportunities and suggesting to give them to wilbur instead.

simultaneously, superman starts appearing around him. helping him when someone tries to rob him, threatening the guys picking on his younger brother tommy, catching the man who broke into his dad's apartment.

wil doesn't realize he's falling until it's too late.

sure, he knew that his motives to see superman might have shifted. sure, he knew that he stopped being annoyed by dream months ago.

but now, finally having solid proof that dream is superman, he realizes that it goes deeper.

and wil has to decide if he wants to write and publish the most important article of his career or protect the identity and the heart of the man who stole his.
