Friends or Enemies? |Dream x Reader|
Sometimes two people have to fall apart to realize how much they belong together. If I knew what time it was that night, would I have still met him? "I love you."

< 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 > (Discontinued)
Two stories, brought together by twists, turns, and a mess of events. (Y/N), a kindly soul from Recoverytale, finds themselves assuming the role of hero, a role they never wanted. Although they are safe with Dream by their side, no one else is. And that simply isn't fair, is it? (N/N), a bold adventure seeker from Recoveryswap, is desperate to find the Nightmare they loved-desperate to save him from the Darkness. But of course, it's never easy to save someone that hardly wants to be saved. The two souls both long for it all to end peacefully. They both wish for their happy ending, but it'll take more than hopes and dreams to get it. Meanwhile, Nightmare is in a state of divided conflict. As he rebels against the Darkness, the Darkness fights back. Nightmare is just as desperate as (N/N)-if he doesn't stop himself, the Multiverse will be torn apart at his hands. Dream is trying desperately to both protect (Y/N) and save his brother. But there's no time to save both of them before the Multiverse collapses into chaos. As a war rages on between positivity and negativity, (Y/N) and (N/N) are forced to work together-but it's not only their lives at stake. It's the life of the Multiverse-and a fallen prince-that's on the line. And they're the only ones that can stop it. ---- (In order to understand anything that's going on, read Expiation and/or Divinity. Both can be found in my profile.) ---- [Dream and Nightmare belong to Jokublogs. The Sans' belong to their respective creators. I only own Recoveryswap and Recoverytale, and of course, this book series.] Book 3 of the Dreamtale TrilogyComplete

The King's Queen (Nightmare Sans x Reader)
PLEASE READ BEFORE GETTING INTO THE STORY Description: Your name is (Y/n) and you are originally from an au called Dreamtale! Your life hadn't been the easiest however, but you were quick to always move forward despite this... Before Nightmare had become corrupted, you were his best friend and lover. You kept him from his breaking point, you maintained his sanity and most importantly... returned his love. One thing that is definitely important about yourself is that you are a selective mute... And your only desired partner for conversation is the King of Negativity himself... But what will happen once the true evil lurking within your lover drowns out whatever light he had left? What will happen when you discover that the Nightmare you knew was replaced by a monster that still somehow holds love for you? "And even with the evil finally in control of Nightmare, if both his sinister side and his old self agreed on something- then it would always be his priority... They both love her." This is practically my first story that I have ever decided to share online. It is quite a terrifying experience for me, so I hope that anyone who decides to read this will enjoy it. Anyway, I should probably inform my readers about a few things. First off, my primary language is not English, however, I will still be making an effort with my grammar! Second off, I will try and update this as frequently as possible... Even though I can get somewhat shy or concerned about how my work goes. Otherwise, all you will need to know is this: (Y/n): Your name (F/n): Friend name (E/c): Eye color (H/l): Hair Length (H/c): Hair color (S/c): Skin color (F/c): Favorite color Some things I will likely determine for the reader, but what is posted above will be the basics. Please also note that this story may contain some content that would be best for more mature audiences. Also, the cover image belongs to me, please do not use it without permission or steal it.Complete
Trinket and Whisper
There's a reason they call Qardis the City of Whispering Walls. Dreams are a myth... An impossibility... A disease detested across the lands of Thelessia... But when the claims of dreams surge across Qardis, defying popular beliefs, silent unrest has terrorized over Qardis. Dreamers are arrested, torn apart from families, wrested away from their homes to an unknown fate, never to return again, spreading fear across the populace over a phenomenon that is not even in their control. How long until the Monocle can answer the people, and how long until the plague of dreams takes over the entire land and the Monocle is left with no one to rule? No one knows why. No one knows how. No one wants to know. But beneath the shadows and marble-floored austerity, conspiracies brew, plots are written, resistance is growing, questions are burning, and the safest and most protected empire of Thelessia is once again on the verge of its own collapse, and this time, the whole world outside its walls is watching. --- For fans of Arcane: League of Legends, Game of Thrones and Avatar the Last Airbender!

Storm Terrors

She'll have times where the original dream will play in her mind, so she has the original completely memorized. She swears it means something. She knows it means something.

She starts a dream journal and writes down the original dream and every night where there are small details that have changed.

His Summoner || Demon! Nightmare Sans x Reader
When a demon summoning goes wrong, a rich and powerful man's son gets killed and (Y/n) is forced to team up with the Demon King that did it to survive the ensuing attempts on her and her family's lives. But the King will only do it on one condition: he gets her soul. So with no choice but to die for her mistake, His Summoner promises him her soul when the job is done. | - Demon! Nightmare Sans x Female Reader - A little bit of a reverse harem with plenty of Bad Sanses x Reader moments (with a canon reason for it :D), but ultimately, (Y/n) is Nightmare's - Honestly you could read this with no prior knowledge of any of the characters and you'd be just fine - Kinda a slow burn? But don't worry, I throw in so many subtle/not-so-subtle intimate moments with all the Sanses that it makes it worth the wait :D - I'll throw in some bonus chapters with the other Sanses for extra (non-canon) fluff that doubles as a breather from the story, too - Is the relationship toxic? Maybe. I mean, this is canon Nightmare after all. But that's the beauty of a fictional story, no? - A lot of the symbolism and hidden meanings aren't obvious, so you might have to be on the lookout to see them (and keep in mind: Night doesn't openly show many emotions, so the devil is in the details) - I'm not going to spoil anything, but for all you anxious readers out there like me, I'll divulge I'm a sucker for happy endings *wink* - It's my interpretation of the characters (kept as canon as possible)Complete
He Who Weaves Nightmares | PUBLISHED (Available in Print and eBook Format)
When the three gods of the dream world accidentally caused a mass homicide, their father, Erebus, decided to punish them and send them to the mortal realm. The oldest brother, the weaver of dreams who could mimic any human form, found the humans dull playthings that were beneath him. The youngest, the weaver of surreal visions who could mimic any form of nature, had always been secretly in love with the complicated race. The middle child, the weaver of nightmares who could mimic animals and monsters, carried the guilt why all three were banished and he desired nothing more but to return to his post. The brothers were proud gods who worried that the world would become drearier without them to inspire the mortals through their dreams. They did not want to leave their crucial responsibility with their father who was too busy forming darkness. They always believed mortals were tedious and unimaginative creatures who needed their guidance. Until they met Selene. ** The Penguin Awards - Second Place (Fantasy) Raven Awards - Third Place (Fantasy)Complete
Wrong Feelings - A dragon's journey
Atrix wakes up in the depths of a frozen cave, his body no longer his own. Scales, wings, claws-he's become a dragon, a creature of myth and legend. But his memories are gone. Who was he before this? Why is he a beast? And why does the void he escaped from haunt him like a shadow? As Atrix navigates the treacherous labyrinth of the Blizzardelle Mountains, he discovers that the cave is more than a prison-it's a gateway to ancient secrets, fulfilled prophecies that hint at a past life he can't remember. From monstrous snow-dune worms to sentient crystals whispering cryptic warnings, every step brings him closer to the truth... and closer to danger. Meanwhile, in the sunlit village of Amberhaven, Colleen, a sharp-witted healer with a knack for trouble, finds herself drawn to the mountains by a strange illness and the haunting whistle of the wind. She thinks the cure for the disease are hinted at in old legends. But Colleen isn't one to believe in legends either, and she has to decide which way to take it. As their paths collide, Atrix and Colleen must unravel the mysteries of the Blizzardelle Mountains and their dark history. But the deeper they dig, the more they realize that some truths are better left buried. And some feelings- like the growing bond between a dragon and a half-human- are too dangerous to ignore.
