Okie Ray, I finished my 2,420 (haha 420...sorry) words in total story hehe. I’ll give you them in parts because it’s a lot lol, but here’s the first part which is mainly/only Karl x Reader and like mentions of x Sap lol idk how to describe things. Enjoy! ~Punzo👻

Being a part of the beast crew was one of the best parts of my life. I may have been one of the only girls that went on camera, but that was fine. Often the girls only filmed for the challenges with a bunch of people, but I was there almost every video, no matter how many people were required. One of my favorite parts of being in the beast crew besides all the opportunities and fun was the people. I loved almost all of them like brothers, the exception being Karl and only because I had caught feelings for him. Which was why it was weird when every smile from his friend Nick sent my stomach stirring.

It was hard to not let out a breath of relief or a whine of sadness when he turned his head. His attention made me nervous but at the same time, I wanted all of it. Karl pulled me from my thoughts with a hug from behind, though, and I smiled, leaning into him. We were currently not a part of the filming so we just watched from the sidelines. It was relatively rare to catch a break during filming, so I was glad this video allowed for it. Blushing on camera was one of my least favorite things to do, it had been so long since I had.

“What do you think of Nick? Do you like him?" Karl had spoken the words into my hair and I let out a chuckle, bringing my hands up to wrap around his forearms. I nodded as I let my eyes move from Jimmy to Nick again.

“Of course I do, he's lovely." A small blush lit my face and Karl giggled as he pressed his cheek to mine to feel it. He had a habit of doing that whenever I blushed, it was like he was trying to absorb my embarrassment. I reached my hand up to blindly ruffle his hair to distract him. "I like how he treats you, and how he treats me."

“Me too." Karl moved his head down until it was buried in my shoulder and then unwrapped his arms from my shoulders only to rewrap them around my waist. I closed my eyes and leaned my head slightly on his. I knew that it was a weird relationship to have with a friend, but when you've both got touch as a love language and at least one of you is partially touch starved, it made sense. There was also the part of me that hoped it was supposed to mean more than that, but I would happily take all the affection whether it was friendly or romantic. "Did you know he's bi?"

"Uh, no." My eyes had shot open and I knew I looked baffled, but I was beyond surprised at the suddenness of his words. Suddenly I realized why he had buried his face in my neck, he was blushing. I bit my lip as I thought over my next words, before gently wrapping my arms around his, to try and show him support. "Do you like him, ya know, like that?"

"Kind of, but I didn't know until he was here! Plus there's someone else I like so that makes it more confusing." I forced myself into friend mode, completely ignoring how the words would affect me and instead on Karl's feelings. I struggled to find out what to say and his arms wrapped tighter around me. I knew he was nervous, knew he needed reassurance so I took a breath in and spoke again."Well, that's okay, I actually like two people right now as well. I know it's confusing, and you might be feeling guilty or something, but you shouldn't. You're not hurting anyone with your feelings, you're simply feeling them." I rubbed his arm as I spoke, trying my hardest to poor my support for him in my words and actions. He seemed to collapse against me as he relaxed and I gently untensed as well, knowing he felt a little better. After a moment he nodded faintly, and then more certain as he pulled himself up. I smiled at his rebound of confidence and then what I thought of next, hoping it would cheer him up.

“Plus you never know, maybe they both like you and y'all can be in a poly relationship." We both giggled and he finally raised my face from my neck, resting it on my shoulder instead. I looked up, remembering we were in public and there was filming going on in front of us. I watched Nick's eyes quickly dart away from us and blush slightly coat his expression. "I would love to be in a poly relationship, you know. There's so much love to give and receive, and it's way less likely to be left alone. If both the people I liked had feelings for me I would suggest it so fast."

"Who do you like?" I sputtered, pulling away from Karl as a blush heated my face. I turned to look at him to find a cheeky smile on his face, and a giggle slipped out as I narrowed my eyes at him. When we both returned to our regular states he gave me a soft look. "No really, can I know?"

"Only if I don't have to look at you when I tell you." A smile twitched across his face and I knew it was because I had been honest, and he opened his arms. I rolled my eyes even as the sides of my lips curled up and spun so we would be in the same position as before. His arms surrounded different parts of my stomach and he hummed as he waited for me to speak, drumming his fingers along my sides. "Well, I'm the same as you with Nick, although I probably like him less than you do since you know him more... Um, the other person I have feelings for is you, but I also love you like a friend so if you don't feel the same, honestly just forget I said it. I would rather be your friend like always and pretend I never told you this and move on than have to stop being friends with you."

Instead of saying anything, Karl pulled his arms away from me, but before I could get upset he laced our hands together and started jogging away from the set. I furrowed my eyebrows but went with him nonetheless, my nerves killing me. He pulled me towards a door, opening it and finally stopping inside once he closed it. I wrapped my hands together but before I could question him he kissed me. My eyes close while my eyebrows shot up in shock, but I easily reciprocated, tangling my hands into his hair. When he pulled away I let my eyes open round, trying to show my shock through them alone. He let out a breathy giggle as he took in my face, and a smile slowly crept up onto mine the longer I looked at him.

"Of course I feel the same, you idiot. How could I not?" I let out a chuckle that I cut off as we both leaned forward again, kissing once more. When we pulled away I rested my forehead against his, eyes closed and a bright smile lighting my face. His hands that had fallen to my waist gently rubbed my sides and I hummed out in contentment.

PUNZO!!!! PUNZO THIS IS SO GOOD AND SO CUTE!!!! YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB WITH THIS!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! VERY SOFT AND VERY CUTE!

why I don't think punz is still the spy

ive been seeing a lot of people talk about this theory and i understand why. dream did say he was going to do something that made everyone hate him and then leave- on the surface it makes sense that dream going to prison is just the long con and that punz is still working for him. if that turns out to be true i won't be surprised. however personally i see a few narrative and a few meta reason why i dont think punz still being a spy makes sense

under the cut in 3 parts: lore reasons, meta reasons, & what i think is actually happening

lore/story reasons

1. how would dream have known that tommy would suspect punz and pay him off? if this was the long con, dream would have need to plan this out when he paid sam to make the prison and before he asked punz to be the spy. while he could have predicted that people would suspect punz, the original plan involved a staged falling out between punz and dream with the fake bumpkin. dream couldn't have accounted for tommy paying punz off

2. punz' character is specifically in it for the money. he said it multiple times: hes a mercenary, he does what the money tells him to do. he had his internal conflict about keeping his deal with dream or following the money and its pretty clear he followed the money. and why wouldn't he? dream paid him 10 diamond blocks to be the spy, tommy paid him 36 diamond block, 36 gold block, 2 netherite ingots, and 6 pieces of tnt. which side do you think he's picking? even if he was supposed to still be on dreams side, i think hes not sticking around. dream can't pay him from prison

3. dream doesn't care about punz, so he should cut his losses. did we already forget dreams long ass villain monologue about how attachments are how he has power so he cut his own? dream does not consider punz a friend, just a tool and ally. there was a spot for punzo shulker in the trophy hall. having seen that now, i doubt punz wants to stick around- which is a big flaw in dreams plan. if dream wanted punz to still be on his side, there's no way he would have let punz know he doesn't care about him

meta reasons

1. c!punz being a spy/c!dream planning to go to prison undermines literally everything that happened. if that was a victory planned by c!dream then the closure of the disc war and the beginning of season three is meaningless, its not a new era of the dream smp, just a drawn out version of the same conflicts. fans are already upset the disc was went on this long, do you think they'd really keep it going? a badlass line on the level of "it was never meant to be" would be meaningless. sure thats an exciting twist, but i really think they want to move the story forward

2. c!dream knowing c!tommy would pay off c!punz would require dream to metagame his own story. they may have messy storylines, but they wouldn't actually metagame and have their characters do things based on information only the cc's know

3. i think c!punz spy falling out plot might just be a lose end. as unsatisfying as it is, because we didn't get the fake bumpkin staged c!punz and c!dream falling out, its likely that those plot threads ended up abandoned because the story was moving too fast. punz hasn't been super active on the smp and hes not big on lore an acting, so theres a good chance spy c!punz arc just wasn't quite what dream and punz originally wanted.

4. there are a ton of other story arcs to do. the main one being the bloodvines, which punz is involved in, but there is still: niki and jack, snowchester nukes, ggghostbur/alivebur/schaltt, and the syndicate. many of the people involved in this have been considered "side characters" and s3 is the time for them to shine. s3 is about moving from c!tommy with c!tubbo as the side kick to c!tubbo with c!tommy as the side kick, and c!dream was c!tommy's villain.

what i do think is happening

1. dream building the prison for himself makes sense. dream could have even planned that punz would stick by his side, but punz choosing the money tommy paid him wasn't part of it. the big event that drwam thought would make everyone hate him could have been him killing tubbo- almost everyone likes tubbo, even if they dont like tommy- so dreams ultimate plan was thwarted

2. dreams definitely getting out of prison. there are four ways i think this could happen: a) someone who put dream in prison is a spy or he convinces a someone to break him out, possibly by reveling the location of something valuable b) someone else breaks him out for their own personal gain (techno??) c) dream is let out because his help is needed (defeating the bloodvines?) d) dream brings schlatt back to life and schlatt breaks dream out of prison somehow

3. again. let me emphasise: BLOODVINES ARC. the crimson egg is literally taking over the server right now. bbh and ant are agents of it. punz is an active ally. puffy is a reluctant ally. they want to get eret on the eggs side next. punz bad and ant are trying to get sam under the eggs influence. THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO STOP IT. i think having to break dream out- maybe even tommy or tubbo having to do it- bc dreams the last hope to save everyone from evilboyhalo and the egg would be cool as fuck

Since this is more of an experimental, non-canon scene I'll be posting it here.

The demon walked leisurely through the dream realms. A myriad of soulscapse lay before him. There was one in particular he was always searching for. Each lifetime it was the same; the bedroom they’d shared in youth. His bedroom. It was always night there, always smelling faintly of the roses in the gardens outside. The moon was always full and bright, giving an atmosphere of both privacy and romance.

As he took another step he happened upon another soulscape. He’d never seen one of this kind before. It was pitch black, the darkness and shadows familiar. Homey. A little ways off was a soft white glow. Curious, he followed the light. Maybe this was a dream instead of a soulscape? Dreams manifested within the soulscape, changing its appearance should it be active. With so much darkness, it had to be a nightmare. Yet there was no fear or dread. Rather, a slowly increasing pressure that made his bones ache slightly.

When he reached the glow, he found a woman bent over the table, writing. Her brush seemed to move so fast he couldn’t even follow her movements. The ink well was more like a bowl, shimmering crystal. Peering into the bowl, he was the ink was in fact, green, with glimmers of gold, ruby red and iridescent glitter swirling around. The clucking of a tongue made the demon prince freeze; no one should be able to sense him when concealed.

Slowly, he looked up. The woman who had been wring continued to do so though her face was turned up to his now. There was a blank, white, soft-looking oval of a mask-like face staring back. Eyes the same color as the ink looked endlessly at him. X’hasa froze. Terrified. He was looking at something he shouldn’t. The blank face seemed to shift between faces. Some he knew – Aitsuru, his mother, Kyo, Kibou. Some he didn’t know but could give a vague guess who they were. There was the sound of porcelain breaking as cracks fissured up the mask. The demon stumbled back; he didn’t want to see. This was no Spirit; this was a God. She grabbed his wrist yet somehow she was still writing. “Now what are you doing here my son?”

Shards of the mask-like face broke off. A toothy grin. Eyes like crystal, weeping gold, green, that skewered him and causing physical pain. In an instant he was on his knees. “Don’t keep me.”

“I won’t. Your role isn’t over yet.” She stroked his face the way his mother did as a child, when human. “But you will come to me again when your role is done.” She sighed and he swore he saw the darkness more and sparkle around them. “Oh Punzo. My good child.” She leaned in and whispered into his ear. “These tears I shed are for you.” Xi’hasa trembled, the pressure around practically crushing him. It was as if everything that was this hoy being was touching him; her hair, her hands, the pieces of the mask-like face, the words she spoke, the hanging sleeves of her kimono. The pressure increased and he screamed. He screamed and he swore he heard Alexander, Liem, his father, Aitsuru screaming with him. “Never forget who makes everything.” The world fell away and as he tumbled into the jaw of the shining abyss he swore he saw the face of a young woman filled with pride and heartbreak watching him tumble to darkness.

With a gasp Xi’hasa sat up. His body was slick with freezing sweat. His mind felt cracked. Something tried to hold him down and he screamed, trying to get away. Something pinched his neck and slowly, slowly, his limbs became far too heavy to move. He settled, staring, unblinking, at the ceiling. Chernolo, Ophil and Nyozelu looked down with their black eyes. No, Chernolo’s were a becoming cerulean, weren’t they? “The fuck’s wrong with you?!” he exclaimed. “You were screaming like your flesh was being slowly peeled off.”

“You know from experience?” Ophil signed.

“By being the giving party, yes.”

Ophil’s eyes were black. They a lovely sea green. Then murky green, then black. They there were no eyes at all. Nyozelu watched Xi’hasa’s eyes dart around, hazy and murky. “You went somewhere you’re not allowed.” She murmured. Xi’hasa stared; her black eyes were orchid purple-pink, shimmering and beautiful.

“Huh?”

Nyozelu stroked Xi’hasa’s face instead. “You’ll forget. You’ll be okay. We’re not supposed to look at Gods.” After some more discussion, the three left. Xi’hasa was alone. The darkness felt alive. It was watching him. He refused to look away, to let something appear. As the serum Ophil had injected into him went away, his body felt lighter. The horror fell away, fading. He felt tired. Why was he staring at the dark again. Turning over, the demon got comfortable in his bed. Only when he stilled did he realize someone was stroking his hair. He froze once more.

“Sleep. Forget.” Was the voice male? Female? Xi’hasa couldn’t tell. His bones ached. Alexander whimpered in fear. A hand covered his eyes. The fatigue became too much. “Don’t worry; I am everywhere. You will always have a home in my existence.” It was quiet then. Xi’hasa felt nothing and slept as the shadow of a child with a white, mask-like face watched on, hair flowing and shifting as if underwater.

Haha oops wrote some angst, hope you enjoy all the same and like, don’t cry please lol. I’m sorry I did this it was an accident 😭😂 ~Punzo👻

"Hey, Puffy, have you seen Punz?" I smiled at her back but she whirled around, furious. I blinked in shock and flinched back at her new hostile posture. 

"Have I seen Punz? I wish I hadn't that insensitive piece of shit!" My mouth dropped open and although a part of me wanted to defend him it was clear that she wouldn't change her mind on what she had said. Plus, I didn't even know what I was supposed to be defending him from.

"Um, why?" I was hesitant to ask because I wasn't in the mood to tempt her clear fury, but I wanted to know. She threw her head back and let out a heated breath before she looked at me again. It was like the anger thrummed in her veins. 

"Him, Bad, and Ant were celebrating Tommy's death. Celebrating! His death!" She made harsh hand movements with each word and I winced at them, and then her words. I knew my face dissolved into sadness when I realized what she was saying. I let out a disappointed sigh and crossed my arms, curling into myself. Puffy suddenly soften and it was like all the tension poured out of her. "I, I know it's just the egg, but gosh does it bother me. Bad used to be so kind and now he doesn't even care that Tommy is gone."

"I hate how it's changed Punz. He's the same with me but it's like, whenever the egg doesn't posses him and then it suddenly takes over there's just this brief look of terror and sorrow on his face, and then his eyes are red." I shook my head and let out another sigh. The egg was ruining the people we loved, and it was so hard to deal with. We needed to figure out how to take down the egg, but how could we do that without hurting the three who strived so hard to protect it? "What are we even supposed to do to get them back?"

"I don't know. Maybe, maybe the only thing we can do is put them out of their misery." My head shot up and I stared at Puffy in shock before it turned into a slight anger.

"No! I would rather suffer with the egg a thousand times over before live without Punz!" I stared at her hard, my chest heaving with the passion I felt over the subject. "We need each other! I know he would say the same!"

"Y/n, it's taken them over." I shook my head at Puffy's calm voice. She couldn't convince me to let him go.

"I know but we can fix it! I can't lose hope, I won't lose hope. Not for Punz." I knew my voice cracked, my eyes glistening as I looked at her. I squeezed my eyes closed and shook my head. "I'll never give up on him. I love him."

"I know. I don't know what else we can do." I dropped my head and let out a sound close to a sob. I brought my hand up to cover my mouth and muffle any other sounds as I shook my head.

"We have to do something, anything else." I practically gasped it out and suddenly I was wrapped in Puffy's arms. One of them periodically squeezing in the back of my shirt while the other gently smoothed my hair down. I broke down in her arms, wrapping mine around her and clinging tightly. "What do I do?"

“I don't know."

..... yep that will make me sad. I’m sad. This is very good. But sad. Thank you for sharing.... I’m going to go think about this and cry
