#death as a dream au

[lightdancer1]

As far as the bad path of the Death as a Dream AU:

It ultimately hinges on a deconstruction of the Sandman's cosmology and two of its more nightmarish principles. If enough mortals can dream a thing into being, then Dream could get mortals to dream a version of his sister into being that would take her place. In the good AU it works out in one way, in the bad one the dream that thought herself an Endless begins to reforge herself not as the being Dream imagined in the perfect abstract ideal of what he believed his sister to be, but in the image of dreams about death and dying.

And those are not pleasant, or good dreams. It also hinges on the aspects of the Nightmare wanting a specific thing (to reanimate the dead Endless with no idea of just how many ways this can backfire, as after all, both nature and supernature abhor a vacuum) and how much the lines between various places becoming blurred is a very, very bad thing.

So the first deconstruction ultimately hinges on 'if X number of dreamers make a thing real, so it is, but then who makes the Dream? Dream or the Dreamers?'

The second deconstruction is that of the idea of identity, and the question of how much a thing can change from their nature before breaking and becoming something else. That, ultimately, is the thing that doomed Morpheus in canon. Creations emulate their creator and even if Morpheus might dodge it for himself that might not mean everything else can avoid that same path.

The oft mentioned and delayed more than once the last week by life Death as a Dream AU in both halves is now up:

I will be updating this series in between updates with the rest. After promising it repeatedly and not actually posting it I got annoyed enough with that to write it up. And having done that I intend to take a nice break from writing tonight and to chill out doing other things.

clone wars au where fives survives because fox is a disaster and people care about him (derogatory)

aka he hasn‘t slept in 72 hours and while every corrie understands why, that doesn’t mean they have to like it. plus, he already has borderline braindamage from not getting more than five hours’ sleep a night the whole duration of the war, and all the strange injuries and electrostaff burns he keeps showing up with, stabby the clone medic reasons. also bone density is a concern with the half-rations the guard is consistently on, so really this is all a very reasonable emergency measure, he says and cuffs fox to a cot.

yes of course, meathook and rabid nod, who pounced on the commander and pinned him for stabby and his sedation hypo the second he came through the door. very reasonable.

hnngfnhfjfj, fox grunts in the corner, already halfway to insensate. thorn, who knows better than to protest lest he become the next target of stabby’s ire, nods along while switching to fox’s armour.

which is also how palpatine gets himself caught, because of course ‘cc-1010’ activates exactly nothing in thorn’s brain except maybe alarm bells for rancid kriffing vibes, and by the time the chancellor orders him to switch off his blaster’s stun setting and terminate the ‘faulty unit’ at all costs, he’s already recording the interaction and sending it as an attachment to the whole guard command staff as well as the jedi temple.
