[cyrenescreams]

The obligatory SBI Hogwarts AU ( fuck jk Rowling tho)

With Phil, a war veteran as a defense against the art teacher, Tommy as a too powerful Gryffondor/Hufflepuff ( not sure ABT that one ) and Technoblade as a cursed Slytherin.

Technoblade is a pureblood with a family into some cult shit ( blood god ect ) that was supposed to be sorted into Ravenclaw but practically begged the hat to put him into Slytherin because he did nit want to deal with his family bullshit. With than the curse of voices, he gets into fight fairly often which causes him to almost always be in detention. ( That's how he meets Tommy and Phil )

Tommy Innit is a muggleborn just a wee bit too powerful and uncontrollable magic, that gets him into trouble at school but also in his everyday life in the Muggle world where he's a foster kid. ( Try to be a witch and a foster kid it's a pain in the ass ).

Philza Craft is a veteran, and also a crow animagus that's been requested to become a teacher at hogwart because the Minister of magic are a bunch of pussies scared of some prophecy. He's a defense against the dark arts teacher and also is responsible for the detention classes. Tommy and Techno basically becomes his responsibilities and if something happens with them he's called immediately ( before their families yes ).

As for other characters:

Tubbo is a pureblood Ravenclaw, and he's terrifying. The guy likes to create spells and testing things he probably shouldn't test with magic. He's also Tommy's best friend and would do anything for him. They meet while shopping for school necessities their first year and become unseperable.

Ranboo is a half blood Hufflepuff/Gryffondor ( again unsure ) with a powerful magic, to cope with it his body just erase memories of times he couldn't control themself. They meet Tommy Purpled and Tubbo in the train during their first year.

Purpled is a muggleborn Slytherin, he wasn't too shocked to develop magic because of all the weird shit around him during his childhood. While people think Ranboo is the most responsible out of them, he takes care of his friend in his own way and is the most responsible one.

Nikki is a pure blood Hufflepuff with a knack for healing magic. She's one of Techno's closest friend and will defend him against rumours spreading assholes.

Slimecicle is a ghost of a Ravenclaw student, thought he tends to hang out in the Slytherin dorms the most to hang out with Quality. When he's not there he tends to spy on students or spook them for fun.

Quackity is a pureblood Slytherin that used to be a dick to Techno but calmed down after getting his ass kicked. He gets along well with Tommy when the blonde didn't know what happened between them but once he learned Toms kinda kicked his ass verbally so they're not as close.

Sam is Charms/Potions teacher that took Tubbo under his wings to avoid mass destruction. He the second teacher to go to if the quatuor of chaos gets in trouble.

Ponk is our resident nurse of course.

Nomination Overview - Post-Apocalyptic AU

A niche tag, so you'd think? Well not THAT niche, not in this fandom. 7 post-apocalyptic works so far, including our longest work nominated to date, (over half a million words), and several art AUs!

Title: this is about a stuffed bird Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/36163102/chapters/90146260 Fandom: Hermitcraft SMP Author: Bee_4 Relationships: Mumbo Jumbo & Evil Xisuma Characters: Mumbo Jumbo, Evil Xisuma Length of the work: 78,043 words Genre: Action/Adventure, AU, Character Study, Friendship, Horror, Post-Apocalyptic AU, Type: Fic Summary: In which Mumbo crosses several towns, learns some creative methods of self-defense, fights some monsters, sees things no human is meant to have seen, befriends a stranger, steals multiple cars, has inconvenient moral scruples, grows increasingly terrified of his own culpability in the apocalypse, grows a spine, blows up at least one building, accidentally prevents a murder, and attempts to find his best friend in the futile but ever-burning hope the man’s still alive. He has to say, he’s so exhausted and terrified that he thinks he might just be mad? (OR: the one where, after most of humanity turns into a series of terrifying monsters, Mumbo decides he’s going to risk his life on an apocalypse road trip to try to find out if Grian is alive. Things, as you might imagine, devolve from there.)

Yeah, they may be about to regret that one. This job is going to be anything but simple, and the entire City of Angels may be at stake. Careful, Atsign Agency: the past is watching.

Day 80 of drawing ponk until my friends actually read homestuck or he gets added to the qsmp… we all know which is happening first

this swap au has my brain in a chokehold… more au info under the cut

MY COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN

okok the swaps are

sam - ponk

george - sapnap

Ranboo - dream (yes I changed it.)

Quackity - purpled

wilbur - schlatt

fundy - tubbo

bad - skeppy

techno - phil

who else?

The lore brainstorming I have so far is:

schlatt dies after reclaiming manberg from wilbur, asking techno to kill him, tubbo is left to resent the innocent ghost of his dad

wilbur takes over manberg and asks Phil to make an example of Fundy for snitching, phil complies out of fear for what his son would do, fundy grows up resenting his father and the memory of his old life and marries Dream and they raise Yogurt together

ponk loses his eye to ranboo after being locked in his own penitentiary, mimicking his friend Purpled who lost the same eye to Philza

ponk cuts off and eats sam’s arm, the circumstances are slightly different, but still essentially a keycard fight where Sam dies and then gets spawn trapped

sam builds himself a prosthetic arm and inhales/consumes way too much redstone, especially after the wound on his arm reopens and he gets more redstone in the wound removing the prosthetic. The redstone in his blood drives him crazy

lotus penitentiary gets infested with egg and ponk lets it drive him crazy and hurts the people around him to keep ranboo in prison

DSMP Fusion AU

(This note was last updated April 6, 2022. Any event/lore/new members after this date is probably not included.)

This AU is inspired by Steven Universe and @koopattemptsart on Instagram.

How the World works:

Only one cluster of fusion crystals were found. Its appearance is similar to an amethyst cluster but is transparent like glass. The cluster was broken into five shards, and divided among those who found it.

The living cannot fuse with the dead(aka ghosts). The living can only fuse with the living, and the dead with the dead.

In order to fuse, their thoughts and bodies must sync or harmonize. Even if two people do not like each other, it is possible for fusion to happen as long as they meet the requirements.

Fusions give you a more intimate understanding of the person you fuse with.

There is no 3 Canon Lives system.

How it started:

Begins before the L’manburg Presidential Election

BadBoyHalo finds a translucent crystal while mining and breaks it into five shards. He brings it to Gay Castle where Eret was holding a small celebration for its completion. The other guests in the small get-together was Skeppy, Ponk, and Awesamdude

Music was playing when BBH entered. He held a crystal and was about to show them, when Skeppy grabbed his hands and pulled him into a twirl.

The crystal they’re holding as they twirl begins to glow. black, red, and blue light mix into the crystal. The light consumes them both, and one figure is left in their place.

A fusion between Bad and Skeppy appeared, and everyone is shocked. Sapnap decides to call the fusion “Bappy”.

Bappy unfuses The others try to recreate it but they don’t know how.

When it came time to leave, the crystals are divided among Bad, Eret, Sam, Skeppy, and Ponk.

CRYSTAL OWNERSHIP PROGRESSION:

BBH —> Sapnap

Ponk —> Schlatt —> Dream —> Techno

Sam —> Quackity

Eret —> Niki

Skeppy —> Punz —> Tubbo

Sapnap borrowed the crystal from BBH.

Ponk gives his crystal to Schlatt as part of their trade. Schlatt then gives the crystal to Dream along with the revival book. Dream uses the crystal with Technoblade during Doomsday, which Techno keeps after.

Skeppy trades his crystal to Punz. Punz gives the crystal to help Tommy and Tubbo during the Confrontation, which Tubbo keeps.

Sam gives his crystal to Quackity as part of their deal at Las Nevadas.

Eret gifted his crystal to Niki.

(I’ll make another post with all the existing fusions and their timeline appearances. I just need to organize my mess of notes.

I both loved and hated making this au. Making fusions of characters is fun. But I remember combing through multiple stream vods, looking for fusion opportunities because of my need to keep it lore accurate time wise. There are dates listed! I don’t even remember anymore T^T)

🖍️🧭❤️

Pretty sure this is still for this ask game

🖍️Post Any sentence from your wip: You get two sentences because of the suffering you expirienced from being a ghost (alien au + an au that i havent posted about yet)

"Ponk is a good doctor. She’d bet her life on it—She has bet her life on it. Ever since getting here, everyday has been a consistent gamble of hoping their knowledge can transfer over from human biology to whatever alien’s have going on. It’s a bit like being a vet, except Ponk never studied to be a vet and doesn’t know what the fuck she’s doing."

"Tommy remembers, for no real reason in particular, that when he was 14 he pressed himself between boxes of ammo and gunpowder. After having just learnt something the hard way, he thought that that was the safest place for him. Back then he was so sure he was going to die. Then, more memorably at 16, he thought the same thing. And now when he is 19, he thinks, again, that he might die. But Purpled’s face is pale, his eyes are narrowed in a specific way while his head tilts up, the gun hasn’t shot yet and…and maybe Tommy also thinks he might not die. The two thoughts coexist surprisingly easily."

[ladyddanger]

For DSMP Whump — either Eryn and Ponk or Sam and Quackity?

I like the way you think! Have some scar duo :)

⚠️ WARNING THIS IS UNFINISHED :/. I liked this so here is what I got done. ⚠️

LUCKY ME.

Prompt SEVEN- : Lick your wounds like a dog (this is an Au)

Tw// trauma, major character death, Implied torture, panic attacks, referenced abuse.

Sam woke up and knew he was dead. Or rather that he had died. If he had fallen into a limbo he didn’t remember, the only thing he could see when his eyes shut was Dream’s smiling face and the axe rushing towards his neck. A scream was still left on his lips as Sam fought for air. He felt like he had been hit by the truck, like every bone in his body was crushed to bits and spread across the floor, ligaments torn to ribbons. It had been a cannon death then. Sam fought back a sob. He needed to get up. He needed to warn Quackity.

When Sam heard Quackity’s voice a heartbeat later he thought for a moment he was hallucinating, it hadn’t taken him a long to start hearing things in prison, the whispers of ghosts trying to dig into his skin and drag him under and choking Sam on his mistakes and memories. Quackity was cursing loudly in Spanish complaining about someone. Sam could understand a little bit from prolonged exposure. Quackity as ranting about some “fucking idiot” who had fucked up “their only goddamn job.” Sam listened harder and realized Quackity’s voice was on its own. Not in the company of others all cursing his name. Shit. Sam must have spawned in his room back in Las Nevadas. Sam started to panic, shoving the sheets off himself with shaking hands . He was a traitor here. He needed to leave. Heart pounding Sam turned his head away with the hazy idea of hiding under the bed. Instead he was met with his own face. He flinched back before realizing the other him was behind glass. It was a picture of Sam and Ponk, arms around each other laughing brightly. What was left of Sam’s heart shattered and fell at the sight of his own happy face and unbloodied hands.

Tears pushed at his eyelids and he didn’t quite mange to muffle a sob. Quackity went quiet . His footsteps sounded moving quicker and Sam went still fear rushing through his veins like ice water. He and Quackity hadn’t left off on the best terms in fact their last conversation had ended in a screaming contest. Sam struggled to get up trying to shake off his respawn sickness. His left eye wouldn't open at all and how hadn’t he noticed that? Stupid. Sam was so fucking stupid that’s why he was in this cell in the first place. His thoughts spilled from him and he dug his nails into the skin of his arms before pulling them away just as quickly. Dream didn’t like it when he did that. Sam needed to calm down, he was so dramatic he needed to breathe. His heartbeat was pounding so loudly that it almost drowned out the noise of Quackity walking in.

Sam looked up and even with his blurry eyesight he saw the horrified look on Quackity’s face, his mouth half open and eyes blown wide. “Quackity.” He croaked. The smaller screamed, the papers he was holding falling to the ground. The noise made Sam flinch back and he scrambled to press himself to the wall making himself smaller so there was less of him to hurt.

A hand landed on his shoulder and Sam whimpered trying to scramble away, hands tangling in the soft sheets, shaking too badly to actually help him move. “Sam. It's just me, it's just Quackity.” The words where white noise and Sam struggled to focus on moving away. “ Look at me.” That was an order so Sam lifted his head slowly. Dream stared back at him, his eyes where oddly mismatched one was light blue and the other a dark brown. Sam bit the inside of his cheek trying not to shake because Dream hated it when he did that. “I’m going to touch you ok?” At Sam’s reluctant nod, a hand latched around his wrist, the grip was gentle pressing lightly into his flesh as Sam’s hand was lifted to Dream’s face. The skin felt.. Wrong. Scared and broken and rough. Sam blinked and saw red and bumpy skin half healed. He looked closer and realized that Dream’s hair shouldn't brush his shoulder tips and his left eye shouldn’t be so blue. Slowly he realized it wasn’t Dream standing over him. It never had been.

Sam wanted to apologize but he couldn't even breathe tiny gasps slipping from his lips like he was dying slowly. Quackity beant down. “Sam. I’m gonna get a first aid kit. Don't move ok?” He spoke slowly, carefully giving Sam to process every word. He wanted until Sam gave him a slow nod and retreated. The moment he was out of sight Sam fell back on the bed wrapping the blankets around his body. He started at the ceiling. A long moment passed and then another. Quackity didn’t return and Sam started to panic. What if Quackity just locked him and let him starve? No. He wouldn’t do that. The sound of footsteps made Sam tense until Quackity came back into his view. The other put a hand gently on his shoulder. “I’m gonna clean your face off ok?” Sam nodded and Quackity dipped a washcloth in hot water lifting it to Sam’s face. Sam braced himself for it to hurt but there was just a gentle pressure as the cloth was rubbed in circles around his left eye . “Who did this to you?” Quackity’s voice was laced with enough anger to make Sam go still waiting for pain before he caught himself. Quackity tilted his chin down so he and Sam were face to face. “Well? Sam, you need to tell me so I can keep this person away from you.” Sam drew himself back not looking Quackity in the eyes.’“Dream.” The name was bitter on his lips, it dripped off like a poison making him sick. Quackity froze the washcloth making water fall down Sam’s face like tears. “Oh.” Sam nodded, chewing the inside of his cheek. “He’s going to hurt you.” Dream had spent hours sitting across from him with a sneer on his face. Recounting every single detail about how he killed Tommy. The sound the child made when his head slammed on the floor, the crack in his voice when he screamed Sam’s name, describing exactly how he punish Quackity how he would cut off Quackity’s wings, how he would break every bone in his body,tie him to the chair and make him scream even when Sam was crying and begging him to stop. Sam flashed back to the screaming and pleading he had heard every single day in the prison. To cleaning Dream off after the mess Quackity made of him and tried to picture Quackity’s screaming instead, Quackity sprawled on the floor bloody and broken.

“He’ll destroy you.”

Quackity lifted the washcloth again. He was still smiling but his voice was cold and firm. “I’m not scared of him.” Sam gritted his teeth. “You should be. He wants to hurt you badly. He told me in detail how he was going to break you.”’Quackity snorted softly but his hands were shaking ever so slightly as he brushed it across Sam’s face. “Greater men have tried and failed.” Was all he said. He finally lowered the wash cloth and pulled a thread and needle from what seemed like thin air.

Expertly, Quackity started sewing the skin up.. “Did he hurt you?” His voice was calm but there was ice under his voice. Sam curled into himself because anger only meant violence. “No no no no of course not.” He hurried to say. Quackty raised an eyebrow and said nothing at all, clearly not believing Sam. Still all he did was make a soft humming noise and continue gently sewing Sam's skin shut. “Maybe you should have let me back in the prison instead of fucking lying to me.” Sam flinched. “I’m sorry sir.” Quackity’s hands stopped moving for a moment. “Don't call me that.” He finally said. Sam started to nodd before Quackity gently grabbed his skin with his free hand. “Yes sir- Quackity. Don’t worry I’ll leave when you're done with my eye.” Quackity frowned, his hands dipping up and down as he finished with Sam’s flesh. “Your eye is gone.” The smaller told him bluntly.The words hit with dull impact. Sam knew he should be feeling more then this but he couldn’t make himslef. He just wanted to be told what to do and sleep. “I’m sorry.” Quackity said after a moment. Sam gave him a tiny smile. “‘ ‘s ok.” He mumbled. The words were soft and heavy in his mouth as the respawn heaviness sank in. “ We match now!” Quackity gave him a small smile tinged with sadness. “Yeah, lucky you.”

[libbee-1]

hear me out..

so uh, imagine a genderbend high school dsmp au where like, the dream team(deatrix/dream, georgie/george and Nicole/Sapnap) are like the popular girls, samantha(Sam) is like the bitchy 'I'll fuck you up' girl, Priscilla(ponk) is just 'fuck you', georgie at one point died, got kidnapped and got like messed up and stuff and is now like a ghost, and like all that stuff- I honestly don't know what else to say, it's just an idea I've had in my head for months-

[lemon-society]

Holding ur ghonk au gently in my hands, I think she deserves the world

this ask is so sweet and really made my day! I'm sorry I haven't posted on this blog in a couple months, I kinda grew away from watching dsmp, but ponk is still my favorite and I still really like this au!

here's some more detailed info that I never shared in the past:

first death was to the fireworks techno shot into the crowd at the Red Festival. I know the comment ponk made was one-off and definitely not canon, but it's my au and the world is my oyster. ponk lost both their legs.

sam made ponk their bionic legs. they were redstone-powered. ponk also owned non-bionic prosthetics and a wheelchair.

second death was the canon one: sam chasing them down after they stole from the prison. basically the exact same as it happened in-universe.

third death was in the aftermath of the sam situation.

after sam cut off their arm, ponk found their way out onto the street and was trying to find help. niki came across them and brought them to her underground city.

niki did everything she could and was pretty horrified by what'd happened. she cleaned and bandaged ponk's injuries, but the arm was cut off in a very unsanitary place, and infection had already set in. being a doctor, ponk knew this better than anyone.

ponk held on for a week or so. both ponk and niki knew that they wouldn't live. niki asked if they wanted her to call or contact anyone to say goodbye to.

ponk couldn't think of anyone at first.

niki was the first person to show them kindness in... a long time. the eggpire had held community but didn't truly care. sam had obviously made his choice. in canon, this is also before ponk was friends with foolish.

ponk asked niki to call purpled. they'd had the real estate "business" together in the past, and ponk trusted purpled to be straightforward, levelheaded, and pass on their messages.

they died with niki and purpled in the room.

purpled did NOT take it as well as ponk had hoped. he's a teenage mercenary with little to no grasp on how to process emotions. he got very angry and closed himself off from the server even more. no one saw him for a while.

niki was crushed. this was not the first time she'd seen death, but it was the first time she'd seen it happen so... slowly. with such resignment. she was the one who organized ponk's funeral.

a good amount of the server attended the funeral. from the earth where ponk's ashes had been scattered, foolish grew a large lemon tree. no one has the heart to burn it down, this time.

sam is in a very bad state. he allows quackity to become more harsh towards dream, hoping to find the secret to revival.

ghost ponk appears soon after the funeral. personality-wise, they are very similar to the original ponk, but less angry. more sad. more afraid.

ponk was sensitive to the supernatural when they were alive. so ponk and ghonk have a closer connection than many other spirits do with their counterparts. they can't talk to each other or anything, but they can sort of feel each other's emotions. catch each other's vibes, if you will.

ponk's limbo is an unending grove of lemon trees. the closer they get to a tree, the more it grows. the further away they get from a tree, the more it withers. it's peaceful.

that's the most I'll dump about it for right now! thanks again for the kind ask ;) I have more ideas about how ghonk interacts with the server postmortem, but not sure what I'll do with it yet.

Title: One Long Season of Waiting Rating: E-rated Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42741399/chapters/107375079 Fandom: Dream SMP Author: Anonymous Relationships: Quackity/Schlatt, Quackity/Wilbur, Quackity/Eret, Quackity/Techno, Quackity/Philza, Quackity/Foolish, Quackity/Wilbur/Eret/Techno/Foolish/Philza Characters: Quackity, Schlatt, Wilbur, Techno, Eret, Philza, Foolish Length of the work: 490,718 words Genre: AU, Domestic/Slice-of-life, Drama, Fantasy AU, Found Family, Hurt/Comfort, Omegaverse, Romance, Royalty AU, Slow Burn, Smut Type: Fic Summary: Polyamory was a relatively new development in the world of nobility, but when the emperor was looking to add another consort to his flock, it was Quackity’s job to ensure that Schlatt was the one chosen for the position. As the duke of one of the four major duchies of the Antarctic Empire, Schlatt was a political powerhouse for sure, and Quackity couldn’t be more proud of his protector. All they had to do was get through the consort trials and then Schlatt would be in, and Quackity could continue to support his partner from the shadows, where he could be safe and protected. Of course, there is a chance the plan devolved almost immediately upon execution, and Quackity found himself getting far more contact with the royal flock and the other consort candidates than he ever could have expected. THE SHORT OF IT: A Fantasy/Royalty AU that features unconventional A/B/O dynamics, political worldbuilding, a heavy emphasis on trauma recovery and found family dynamics, and soap-opera levels of non-communication. And also, there’s romance. See forenotes for more details.

Title: Sword and Smoke Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/52674127/chapters/133363822 Fandom: 3rd Life SMP Author: apollothetransboy Relationships: Martyn Littlewood/Rendog, Martyn Littlewood & Jimmy (SolidarityGaming), Jimmy (SolidarityGaming)/Cleo (ZombieCleo)  Characters: Martyn Littlewood, Rendog, Jimmy (SolidarityGaming)  Length of the work: currently 50k (incomplete fic) Genre: Angst, AU, Canon-Divergent, Character Study, Hurt/Comfort, Hurt-no-comfort, Romance, Slow Burn Type: Fic Summary: Ren let out a sympathetic noise and reached out a hand, only to find that he was too far from Martyn to touch him. Limited Life, which was won by Impulse, has drawn to a close, and with the dawn of the next seasons approaching, Ren is at the forefront of Martyn's mind. Somehow, in his absence, Martyn has convinced himself that Ren couldn't possibly love him anymore. Maybe, even, that he had chosen to forget him and all the pain he brings. And when Ren does return for Way Life, and the consecutive three seasons, Martyn scrambles for the smallest of crumbs to prove his truth. With the odds stacked against them, though, Martyn finds himself always drawn back to him, whether by mechanics of the game or by what seems impossible chance. Time and time again he proves himself willing to go very far to believe his own lies, especially when the truth is something far more painful, though he will have to know it eventually—that he was, and will always be something that Ren would do anything, anything, to protect. or—four lives in which martyn and ren fall apart and fall back together

Title: Amoransia Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/52729348 Fandom: Crossover Fandom Author: Phospheos Relationships: Gem/Pearl, Gem&Pearl, Grian/Scar, Joel/Lizzie, Mumbo/Grian, Mumbo/Grian/Scar Characters: Pearl, Gem, Tilly the Dog, Grian, Mumbo, Impulse, Scar, fWhip, Lizzie, Joel, Evil Xisuma, Cleo Length: 9,990 words (incomplete fic) Genre: Action/Adventure, AU, Hurt/Comfort, Modern AU, Slow Burn, Superhero/Superpower AU Type: Fic Summary: amoransia; n. the melodramatic thrill of unrequited love; the longing to pine for someone you can never have, wallowing in devotion to some impossible person who could give your life meaning by their very absence. Glimpse into the lives of two that hold an eternal bond through both company and absence, two that hold a safety to the other that it never needs to be said in the first place. There lies a love that time and time again will shine through as long as the universe allows them to hold it, as they get torn apart and reunited time and time again. It is messy and out-of-order, but that's them, and that means they're together. And wouldn't have it any other way.

modern lives! au callahan and g! callahan spend a lot of time just chilling with each other and are the closest of the ghost and modern boys but they both kinda feel like their unimportant to the others, especially g! callahan who made m! ghost feel a lot worse. also! g! callahan being there since m! callahan was born so when people come to him like " hey this ghost started following me" he's like "it started only now???"

ml! au ponk and g! ponk were g! ponk encourages m! ponk to ask out m! sam because g! ponk just wants to be closer to g! sam

ml! au m! purpled goes out to a cave for a school trip and this weird ghost guy starts following who looks exactly like him and has his name but Purpled refused to believe it was past him because he is the only version of him right?

ml! au where the bads help each other make muffins. also I'd think that m! Skeppy and m! bad would immediately tell each other about the ghosts and probably got them when they were kids so they've just kinda, always lived with these two extra guys that have the same names (they definetly nickname them geppy and gad you cannot change my mind) -🏮

They just chill with each other. The Callahans just chill with each other and they nice.

Ponk and Sam hanging out as well as their ghost counterparts? Nice. Amazing. I love that.

Also, Purpled is now getting an identity and existential crisis over this. He’s going to have one hell of an identity crisis.

Bad is great and nice but man, I would like to think that there are some instances where the Egg just takes over and that’s when he says no and goes and tries to figure out how to just not have this happen anymore.

Skeppy and Bad telling each other about their ghosts? Nice. Friendship Goals over there.

//convict childcare AU

Tubbo found himself tracing the patterns in the grain of the wood with his eyes. It wasn't exactly thrilling stuff, but it was something to do.

Behind him, Michael was asleep on the bed. The two of them had played together earlier, and now the toddler was down for a nap. Usually, Tubbo would've left once Michael fell asleep, but Dream's lungs had been acting up with a particularly nasty cough. As much as the man insisted he was fine, he'd also almost died too many times for anyone to be willing to take the risk. So, since everyone else was out, Tubbo was tasked with staying in earshot in case something went wrong.

It wasn't anywhere near as bad as Tubbo thought it'd be. Michael was more willing to play under Dream's supervision, and Tubbo was hoping the extra time might help them bond further. Dream himself spent most of his time resting or watching the window. Sometimes he'd speak, mostly when Michael wanted to show him something, but other then that, things were calm.

When Michael settled down for his nap, Dream had picked up the revive book he'd been making slow progress on for the past few weeks, and Tubbo had taken the hint and turned to face the wall. He was still shocked (and pleased) that Dream was willing to work on it with him in the room at all. The man was still shy about anything to do with the revive book, and Tubbo tried not to push.

Curiosity was prickling at Tubbo, but he kept himself facing the wall. He didn't even ask how far along Dream was in the book! Even though Tubbo wanted Ranboo back, he was very aware that Dream's hands were still a struggle. Phil wasn't happy with Dream writing anything at all, but the two had agreed that slow progress was a fair compromise.

Speaking of Ranboo, his ghost had been hanging around the day before. It seemed to be avoiding Dream himself, but had no problem being in the area. None of them had mentioned that Dream was writing a revive book for him. They'd been worried it might run off.

Actually, wait, what if Dream told it? Dream hadn't met Ghostboo yet, so he wouldn't know to lie! That could be a disaster.

"Don't tell Ghostboo."

Tubbo said it, and then almost instantly realized his words made no fucking sense out of context.

"Uh, that's- Don't tell him about the book. Uh, he's been like, avoiding you I think. But if Ghostboo does come in here, then don't tell him. He's- he's weird."

Keeping his voice flat was hard, and it was only getting harder as Tubbo found more words spilling out.

"I dunno why, but like, he's really insistent that he's happier being dead. So we haven't told him. About the revival. His ghost is really weird in general. I don't- I'm not a fan."

He would've kept rambling, but Dream cut him off.

"It's not real."

What.

"What?"

"The ghosts. They aren't... It's not a person. It's a trick. It's a bad imitation of the person left behind to try to convince you not to revive them. They'll try different things, but it's all for the same goal. Try to ignore it until I've got this finished."

Dream words were confident and clinical. Like he was stating the obvious.

And- well- It wasn't like Tubbo thought he was lying. What he was saying made sense, in an abstract way.

"Why- How do you know that?"

It was kind of a stupid question. Silence ticked by, and since Tubbo was still facing the wall, he had no idea what Dream was thinking.

"I found out when I got the book."

That wasn't the whole truth, and they both knew it. Tubbo itched with the desire to learn more, he wanted to know, to understand. He almost couldn't restrain himself.

But Tubbo was trying. He'd figured out pretty quickly that Dream took poorly to being pressed for answers. So he nodded, and kept his questions to himself for the moment.

Silence again. It wasn't quite comfortable, but it was tolerable. There was the very faint and slow scratch of pen against paper offsetting it all.

Dream spoke after a few minutes.

"Is Niki going to be back soon? She was.... Meeting Ponk? Right?"

"Punz, actually. Uh, I think she'll be back in a few days? She was going to stop and catch up on a few things before coming back. I can ask Phil though. He'll know. Do you need to ask her something?"

There was a frustrated pause, and Tubbo knew it wasn't directed at him. Dream had some issues with keeping things straight these days. He wouldn't talk about what caused it, but it showed in the little details that slipped past him.

"Not exactly, it's not urgent, but... I'm almost done. Should only be a few more days. I'll need to be the one to burn it, but anyone can kill the ghost. I figured she'd be okay with doing it. Probably shouldn't be you or Techno at the very least. Someone will need to be at the prison to get Ranboo too."

Oh. Oh!

Tubbo couldn't contained himself. He whipped around in his excitement- thankful it seemed Dream had already closed the book. He flew out of his chair- he needed to move and think- Ranboo was going to be back!

"Really?!" Pointless, Dream wouldn't lie about this. "She wouldn't mind- I could do it, but I want to be there. When he's back. We can go ahead of time, maybe find where he actually died. Connor might know, maybe. I swear when we broke in the first time Techno found some bloodstains, so we might even know where he was!"

Brain racing, Tubbo starting making plans out loud. Everything he'd been praying for since he first saw that death message so many months ago.

Dream let him ramble without interrupting. One of his hands just moved to pet Michael's head when the toddler snuffled in his sleep. Oops. Tubbo quieted down, not wanting to wake Michael. One thing hadn't still changed, the boy still got extremely grouchy if he didn't get his afternoon nap. Nobody wanted that.

Soon enough, Ranboo would be back. He'd be home. Things weren't going to be like they were before, but they would be okay again. Different, but okay. Finally.
