At the begging, I was a nightmare with a dream. The oldest nightmare of the human kind with a silly little hope of becoming something else; something that brings happiness instead of suffering.
When I wished to be a dream, that wish had been granted by him. Morpheus, who gave me hope; who'd turned suffering into joy, sadness into happiness.
Daydream, he'd set on calling me throughout the centuries I've spent by his side. I was his first creation, his loyal subject, his oldest friend.
He was my first hope, my second dream, my only love.
But when he suddenly leaves, my hope starts to wither, my dreams become blurred, and with the Dreaming, I too begin to decay.
It is rare for dreams to find a place in reality and the daydreams hardly ever come true. However, time has come for me to materialise on Earth: to find my hope back.
My time's running out. I need to find him before I turn wicked, and a dream will become a nightmare again.
My reader insert stuff for The Sandman (Netflix). Mostly headcanons and "regular" fics. I write for all characters of the show, but some may not have any fics yet. I take requests, but ONLY on my Tumblr (swanimagines), don't request in this book please!
If you wish to see separate fics by character/are only interested in specific characters, I'm going to advise you to check out my AO3 (swanimagines there too).
Note: My default reader is gender neutral with they/them pronouns, but I write female reader (with she/her) if the requester so wants. In case of female reader fics, there's a note of it at the start of the chapter.
