#desire x corinthian

[zorawitch]

Dont know that anyone is going to care but...

i honestly cannot pick because all of these were and are labors of love and if i make a few of you decide for me, i can work on my other fics in the meantime.

[gabessquishytum]

So since there's no official Kinktober this year, I thought it would be fun to put together a few unofficial prompts for some Sandman shenanigans. Whatever pairing you'd like to do, whatever prompts you'd like to choose - even if it's only one of them, or all of them - it's completely up to you! This is really meant as a little inspiration in the hope that the wonderful Sandman community will create some fun and kinky content! Please feel free to reblog this - and it would be lovely if we could tag stuff with #Sandmankinktober to share the debauchery, too!

I feel that desire and the Corinthian have a lot of similarities

[fadedkat]

you know what? (scrapbooks your sandman)

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

pt II sandman but i've never watched or read it

It's happening again I'm being kidnapped again there's no hope left for me god I'm so in love with Dream he's such a cutiepie uh right this post okay. I'm uh the Good Omens Mascot and I'm losing my mind here have part two based on whatever I have understood from y'all's replies to my first post.

It's Neil's baby and a lot of amazing artists are involved. One of whom made Dream look like a gooey pile of sad adorableness in volume 1.

Dream is a sad wet lonely repressed cat of a man. No I do not have one type.

There's this dude whom I think is named the Corinthian. He's a dream (but not Dream) and he can see things.

His eyes are mouths and his teeth are apparently Very White and any dental hygienist would orgasm at the sight.

Dream was kept prisoner for a century. Where? I don't fucking know. Why? I don't fucking know. How? Er there was some kind of. Glass (?) case.

There's a sleeping sickness while he's gone coz things got weird.

His raven is killed by someone and maybe he should have forgiven him but he could not.

Something happens at the end of Volume 7 that people need to recover from.

There's someone with glasses who keeps telling Dream stuff and they're Very Important and I have no fucking clue who they are.

There's someone named Freddie and people are feral for him and I don't know who he is.

Dream is just constantly on the verge of tears. Always. Just fucking always. Poor baby.

Sandman more like Sadman amirite.

He thinks everything ever is his fault. Mood.

EVERYONE KEEPS REASSURING ME THERE IS NO CANONICAL INCEST BUT APPARENTLY BOTH DREAM AND DESIRE HAVE SEXUAL TENSION WITH EVERYONE INCLUDING THEIR FAMILY AND EACH OTHER AND THEY ARE SIBLINGS AND AAAAAAAAA.

The family is Endless btw and I don't know what that means but they are.

Dream has a boyfriend (long distance? idk they keep meeting each other every 100 years) named after a cooking stove who calls Dream out for being lonely and Dream doesn't like that and they fight and then they go into the rain etc etc.

Hob is immortal because he does not want to die and he is convinced that humans only die because they uh think there's no other option. It's giving just think positive thoughts.

Dream almost stands him up but then doesn't some bar is moved.

There are keys to Hell and Dream doesn't know what to do with them.

There are tools and they make you weak.

Desire has all the genders.

I am apparently exactly like Delirium.

Dream is a sad wet cat at one point and then he turns into a shadowy being with cute bright eyes.

Dream is fucking pretty in every single fucking century like oh my fuckING GOD I AM SO GAY

Tom Sturridge (?) is Dream's actor and he has chemistry with everyone on screen apparently which leads to incest vibes

There's some kind of fucking Grape Incest scene

Despair is played by Mrs Sandwich

Death is kind and cuddles a dead baby at one point

It's gay but I do not know HOW it is gay but I am assured it is Gay

Er. Feel free to correct me.

Endearments they Call You

Dream/Morpheus:

Little dreamer/little one, he would never admit to it but he does have a bit of a fixation on how you are so much "smaller" than him. He's a personification of a concept, anyone other than his siblings is "smaller" than him. But you're his special dreamer, one he aims to serve, please and protect more than any other.

My nightmare, he only dares call you this spontaneously once when you are angry on his behalf. The poor reaction you have at first teaches him not to call you this without a clear sign of affection. You're only human so it doesn't have the same fond connotations to you as it does him. Slowly you are growing to understand it is meant with love

Precious one, of course he calls you precious. It's practically your name in his mind.

Beloved, a more formal nickname that he uses in front of visitors to the realm or when he does not want to show the full extend of his adoration to others around you

Starlight, this nickname is from how you light up his life. He so often has stars in his eyes when he looks at you, what he considers to be a reflection of what he sees when he looks at you

Desire:

Sweetness, you are far too sweet. Always asking Desire what they want. How could they resist calling you what you are.

Pet, you’re a cherished pet to Desire. They are called Desire as that is their function, so it only makes sense to call their pet, pet.

My heart, it's a sappy nickname that Desire tries not to use too often. But you hold the metaphorical heart of theirs in your continued existence.

Kitten, you are their kitten, duh. 

Corinthian:

Sweetheart, this nightmare may never have been made in the south but you still can't take the southern out of him. It's a classic nickname but not one exclusive to you.

Little morsel, its playful and one he only ever calls you. He wouldn't actually eat you up, but he loves to tease about doing so. 

Daydream, saved for the most sentimental of moments. He's almost embarrassed when he lets it slip past his lips. The rarest one to hear from him. He could almost be called shy about it.

Random AU idea that’s been percolating slowly in my head, but loose Once Upon A Time AU?

Basic idea is Lyta doesn’t give up on trying to get Daniel back at the end of Sandman, but goes even further hardcore and breaks into the garden of Destiny and straight up takes him on and thru some sort of magic + heartbroken madness+ righteous fury takes his book and rewrites her story to get Daniel back.

But beyond that Lyta wants all these beings that hold themselves so high to know the true pain their actions can inflict on mortals, and uses the books power to flips all the Endless out into the world as Humans with no memory of their past lives—and brings Morpheus back with them.

And now they’re all living miserable lives that have some sort of link to their function but in a way that makes them miserable but they can’t seem to break away from (like, Death is a doctor but always seems to lose the patients she gets close too? Desire is out there being ignored and never wanted by anyone and is separated from Despair, ect. Sorry it’s been a crappy couple weeks so my brain is shot for ideas on this exact part 😅)

There is one hiccup in this—Daniel, back to being a little boy, still has a connection to the Dreaming, and manages one night to bring the book The Sandman back with him from the Library. It’s not the full book, he doesn’t know his and Morpheus’s canon fates but between the book and his odd dreams he knows something has gone wrong with reality and the Endless and that he needs to find the Dream King and put things right with the world.

So he manages to find Morpheus and now has to convince him he’s the Dream King and his estranged siblings are the Endless and they have to find their sigils that have been scattered in the Real World to fix things.

Neither of them realize at first what putting things back to how they were will mean for them both, but eventually they do and are faced with the dilemma of fixing the world meaning Morpheus dying and Daniel losing his individuality/family (Lyta is not evil btw just really really scared to lose her kid and desperate to stop this Murphy guy who seems to be threatening her life) and trying to find a way to fix things without ending it the same way.

And Hob’s here somewhere too but I’m not sure which part I’d want him to take? Maybe he’s the Charming stand in to Dream’s combined Snow White role and he’s in a coma cuz he was dreaming of Morpheus when Lyta rewrote reality and it scrambled his brain? So he’s kicking around in the Dreaming trying to fix th8ngs from that side too/keep the kingdom from crumbling again?

(Destruction is probably also out there still as himself and can still remember the old reality)

((Tempted to have the Corinthian in a Hook-ish role and have it be a Hobrintheus AU))

Honestly this whole thing happened due to listening to this fan song while thinking about Sandman and it all scrambled in my head and poof xD

For reference to how the song AMV’d into my head: Daniel =Emma’s part, Hob and Dream = Snow and Charming’s part, Lyta= Regina’s part, Corinthian =Hook part and really don’t have a Rumplestiltskin part😅 Loki maybe? Oh! Maybe he as vengeance for Dream sending the Corinthian after him tells Lyta how to screw with Destiny’s book? With her not realizing he was the one who even stole Daniel in the first place oooh I like that it makes Corinthian as Hook work even better yeah!

(If anyone wants to do anything with this please feel free !)

🫵 I'm giving you the same ask I gave softest-punk

Desire-Hob-Cori

How would you right this chaos fueled crackship?

Anon I have legit thought of nothing but this ask all day. I was actually counting down the minutes until I could leave the office so I could write this for you. What an honor to receive on the first day of Pride. 💖

For those unfamiliar, here's the original ask and fill from @softest-punk [Click Here].

Dedicating this prompt to @aquilathefighter @the-cloudy-dreamer and @honeyteacakes for helping me with this brainworm. And to @gil212 and @lyriclorelei for the puns.

I present to you, Desire x Hob x Corinthian at Drag Brunch~

-----------

“I thought,” Desire quips over a bright pink drink, “you said there would be entertainment.”

“The show hasn’t started yet,” Hob replies. “We’re eating first. And drinking,” he adds, holding up his own yellow slushy concoction. 

“Speak for yourself,” the Corinthian interjects from across the table. “I’ve got a great view in front of me.”

“Flatterer,” Desire rolls their eyes but Hob can feel them preening from beside him. 

“View’s not bad from here either,” Hob says, wrapping an arm around Desire’s waist and planting a kiss on a well sculpted cheek. He shoots the Corinthian a wink too, just for good measure.

“Disgusting,” Desire sighs, even as they lean into Hob’s shoulder.

It’s another 15 minutes before the pub dims their lights, and the host who’d seated them announces that the show is starting soon. Desire still seems skeptical of the whole thing, but they hum and settle against Hob, resting one immaculately manicured hand against the table, an open invitation that the Corinthian takes.

“And now!” the host yells into the microphone. “Please welcome our first queen, Amanda Fallfor!”

A familiar violin trill makes its way across the room, soft at first, and as the vocals begin, Amanda strides into the room, dressed in a hot pink evening gown and matching feather boa wrapped around her shoulders. She glides effortlessly around the room, wrapping the boa around some necks, and batting her large eyelashes dramatically. Many of the patrons swoon after her, miming a phone call with their hands. 

“Her eyebrows aren’t blocked properly,” Desire tuts under their breath so only Hob (and the Corinthian probably, he’s got very good ears) can hear. “You can see her natural eyebrows from outside the pub. One of them is bigger than the other.”

“Be nice,” Hob mutters, trying not to look disapproving while Amanda is wrapping up her performance of Call Me Maybe. 

“That was not part of our deal,” Desire replies. “But fine. The pink suits her. Happy?”

“Everyone’s a critic,” the Corinthian chuckles. “She’s got nice eyes.”

Hob snorts. “You would notice that,” he says.

As Amanda makes her exit, the waitstaff come around to collect their food, and take new drink orders. Desire and Cori order more slushies, but Hob’s the one who drove today, so he settles on water instead. 

“Next, please welcome Vulva Cano!” the pub host announces.  

“How crass,” Desire tuts. 

“I like it,” the Corinthian grins. 

“You better not, or you’re sleeping on the couch,” Desire says testily. 

“Are you jealous, Desire?” Hob asks, not bothering to hide the glee in his voice. 

“Of that awful outfit?” Desire says as Vulva appears in a bright orange and yellow bodysuit. “Never.”

The rest of the show passes in a similar fashion, with Desire nitpicking everything on the performers from their makeup to how they walk in their absurdly high heels. Hob thinks Desire would be an absolutely ruthless judge on RuPaul and decides to add it to his ever growing list of human experiences to introduce his otherworldly lovers to.

“Ugh, why perform Margaritaville if your name is Mimosa Thyme?” Desire complains of the last performer.

“Pretty sure it’s for the bit, love,” Hob chuckles. “Admit it, you had fun.”

“I would’ve had more fun in our bed,” Desire purrs, nuzzling into Hob’s neck.  

“I bet you’d absolutely smoke the rest of them if you were up there, baby,” the Corinthian says, grinning predatorily. Hob shoots him a withering look. They both know Desire can’t resist a chance to show off.

Predictably, Desire perks up. “You’re absolutely right darling. Be right back.”

“You,” Hob sighs fondly at the blonde, “are a menace. Both of you.”

“Aww Hobsie, you know you wanna see it too,” the Corinthian replies. “You know the sex is better when they’re riled up first.”

Hob has no rebuttal so he stays quiet. The Corinthian stands up and takes Desire’s vacated seat, wrapping his arms around Hob’s waist possessively. 

Before long, they hear the echo of the host once more.

“We have a surprise performer on the docket today! Everyone give it up for Endless Desire!”

Well, Hob thinks as the lights dim once more. At least they have the best seats in the house.
