Sans Aus x Reader Oneshots (Infrequent Updates)

Shattered Dream x Nightmare's Friend Reader

Not my image.

Thank you for this amazing request Cyanmooshki! 

Also, because of all of the loop holes in this AU, I am writing Nightmare corrupt, not passive.

⚠️WARNING⚠️ ANGST (sorry not sorry)

I hope you enjoy this oneshot!

Background Knowledge

After Dream ate the black apple, Nightmare retreated immediately to the castle. He took solace in your company and refused to leave your side. The two of you are really close friends and he has even taken to calling you "sister", in a sort of replacement for calling Dream "brother". Dream's carnage is spreading throughout the multiverse and it seems the castle is his next stop.

Your POV

"Nightmare, let me go!"

The goopy octopus hugging me looks at me with a glare and responds flatly. "No." I groan in annoyance and Killer snickers from across the room. "Boss sure is really clingy, isn't he? I pity you Y/n." Nightmare glares at Killer, who just laughs and leaves the room. Nightmare grumbles into my shoulder and says something along the lines of "I'm not clingy". I sigh and pat his back, avoiding his tentacles. This is Dream's fault. . . He broke Nightmare. An amazing feat, yet so cruel. I let my mind wander to thoughts of my old crush. Yes, I used to have a crush on Dream despite his being our enemy. I even confided in Nightmare on this and he said we would make a cute couple. Although he followed it with a comment about the both us being disgustingly positive. But that's all in the past now. . . I haven't had a personal interaction with the new Dream, but from what I've heard, he isn't the friendly Dream that I fell for.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The comfortable silence that had formed between Nightmare and I shatters(yes this is a pun) and I look around with a panicked expression. The foundation of the castle shakes as the banging against the walls draws nearer. I hear the rest of the gang fighting out in the halls, but after each bang against the wall, one of their voices goes silent. My heart breaks slightly as I hear my friends voices go silent, most likely forever. Nightmare places himself in front of me, standing protectively with his tentacles swaying dangerously. I shiver out of fear as the atmosphere drops. What's going on? The banging on the walls gets closer and I find myself dreading the arrival of whoever it is. 

Then it stop. The banging ceases and everything goes silent. Not even a draft of wind from the outside breaks the tense silence. Nightmare refuses to let his guard down and stays completely still in his defensive posture. I grip the back of his jacket, the fear of the intruder becoming overwhelming. Then it happens. The doors to the throne room fly off their hinges, narrowly missing the two of us. My heart skips a beat when I see who stands at the entrance to the throne room. His clothes are unmistakable, but they drip with a goop that once only belonged to one being in the multiverse. His crown shines a brilliant gold, but instead of symbolizing the hope it once had, it brings me nothing but dread and sadness. His tentacles sway dangerously just like Nightmare's and I hold my breath when I see the fresh blood dripping from them. Monster dust stains his goop and a smile of insanity taints his once kind face. Dream. . .

Nightmare falters at the sight of him, eye sockets wide in disbelief. Even though he saw the transformation right before him, he still finds it hard to believe. Dream casually walks into the room, flicking off the blood from his tentacles, making sure we noticed it. "You know, brother, you really should have better security around here." Tears prick at my eyes after the confirmation that my friends are all dead. No. . . No! They can't be dead! They just can't be! The tears flow down my face and I don't bother crying silently either. Dream seems to notice my presence for the first time now that I'm crying. "Ah! You must be Y/n! I've heard such good things about you!" Dream continues walking closer to us and Nightmare remains on edge. The closer Dream gets to us, the more unsettled and horrified I feel. I shake my head slowly, wishing that he would go away. Nightmare looks back at me and whispers with reassurance. "Calm down. I won't let him hurt you." 

I smile at him slightly through tears, but my eyes go wide as he is slammed away from me with a tentacle. I hold out a hand out to him in a futile attempt at saving him, but it's no use. He crashes into the wall and a crack echoes throughout the room. I still see him moving and that provides minimal comfort, but it is nothing compared to how scared I am. Dream is standing in front of me, replacing Nightmare. He is looking in the direction of Nightmare with a bored look. "You know better than to turn your back on me brother. I'm disappointed in you." He turns his attention to me and a smile melts onto his face, but even if he doesn't want to look threatening, it comes across that way. I am frozen in place, eyes wide and knees shaking. Dream puts a hand under my chin and brings my face closer to his. "You really know how to pick 'em, don't you brother. She's quite the beauty." I try to pull myself away from him, but his grip is too tight. What happened to the kind Dream that I fell in love with?! 

I hear shifting on the other side of the room and I see Nightmare struggling to stay standing. His breathing is heavy and jagged, I can tell even from over here. Dream looks over at Nightmare again with a bored expression, but he doesn't let go of my face. "You know, if you just stay down it would be a lot less painful for both of us." It takes a few seconds for Nightmare to respond. "Let go of her, Dream. Now." Dream looks at Nightmare for a few seconds before focusing back on me. He leans closer and despite the monster I see before me, a blush dusts my cheeks. I want to stop, but my feelings for him haven't disappeared. Dream smiles and wraps a tentacles around my waist, pulling me to his side. He then quickly kisses my cheek and smirks at Nightmare. "Nah. I think I'll keep her." Tears still flow down my cheeks and yet my blush grows. What the hell is wrong with me?! He killed my friends and yet I still love him!?

Nightmare grits his teeth and stands up straighter, trying to appear stronger than he truly is with that wound. "Let. Her. Go." Dream sighs and shakes his head with a look of pity on his face. "You really don't know when to quit, do you?" Without another word, he slams a tentacle into Nightmare's side again, but Nightmare blocks it with his own. This catches Dream by surprise causing him to grip me a little tighter in concentration. I suck in a breath and try to prevent myself from passing out, but my vision is already narrowing. I look down, feeling the darkness surrounding me. I hear yells and crashes coming from around me, but they sound so distant, as if I was under water. The ground sways underneath me and everything doubles. Every time I blink it becomes harder to open my eyes again.

Just as I'm about to give into the comforting embrace of slumber, the tentacle around my waist loosens it's grip and I fall to the side, my feet giving out underneath me. I expect to make contact with the floor, but someone catches me. I'm brought into their arms and I lean against their chest, feeling dizzy and sick. My hearing, that I didn't know I lost briefly, returns to me and I hear kind words being spoken to me. The voice is distorted and it surprises me that it would possibly say anything kind. "Everything is going to be okay Y/n. You're safe now. I'm sure you're overwhelmed right now, so rest for now. I'll explain everything once you awaken." 

I take comfort in the strangers words and allow sleep to take over.
