Dream always felt the weight of expectations on his shoulders and they've only grown worse now that he's a Star Sans. Save this AU, rescue that person, stop Nightmare over there, and make X person smile! It's a never-ending cycle of tasks and he gets asked more about why he hasn't done it sooner or defeated his brother yet than thanked for what he accomplished. He feels trapped in this position and doubts if he didn't have his positive aura that anyone would care for him. Most like him for the joy he brings or what he can give them. Nobody around him ever feels genuine without a doubt in his head. Add in the stress of protecting one Star Sans(Swap) and keeping the other(Ink) from starting trouble and you have a positive guardian ready to break under expectations.

Then you have Error, the destroyer of AUs. His reputation speaks for himself and builds all the expectations he needs whenever he steps foot into another AU. He's as bad an omen as a black cat crossing your path. Others assume he is bad because of his "freakish" or glitching appearance. He has accepted these but it gets tiring when he already has the voices bossing him around or Fate reminding him that he should do more destruction. But he doesn't limit himself to destruction. He watches UnderNovela, admires the stars, and appreciates what he can. He pushes the limits of what is expected of him or disregards them completely. A trait that Dream eventually finds himself admiring in him, the known enemy of his friend. He knows that Error's feelings are genuine since he doesn't change in his presence(still an angry manchild). 

So when Dream gets wounded and stuck with Error on a whim, where will it take them? Will it be a mistake remaining in a hatred of enemies or will it change them both for the better? Could this admiration open Error up to corrupting Dream or will he be the influence Dream needs to against expectations and live for himself?

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 Trilogy
Depression... A Sansest Story. by Undercorn1
57 parts Complete Mature
Everything was running smoothly for the Star Sanses on this amazing day. Ink was drawing happily, Blue was running around chasing butterflies, and Dream was reading! Until we look a little... deeper. Dream was fine. But Ink was thinking about things much darker than his smile gave off. Blue, on the other hand, was thinking all happy thoughts! To an outsider. To anyone else, he would never have depression. To others, he was a cute little innocent boy. But only he knew the truth. Dream was the happiest out of the bunch. Not really surprised, are you? Let's check in on the 'villains' as you may call them. Dust and Cross were running from Killer, who was tightening his strings on his hoodie, NIghtmare was reading just like Dream, skimming over the page, Horror was playing with his ax, and Error was knitting. Who is depressed? Ha. You really are blind, dear, dear reader. Have you yet to notice that the strings were on Killers wrists, so they wouldn't show? Or the way Nightmare never turns a page in his book? Geno was running away from Reaper at that moment, who was laughing. Reaper was slightly sad because he had to reap some souls, but Geno was the one suffering. Fell was being beaten by his brother at that moment, and no one would save him... "You can't be saved without help." This involves Crossmare, Dustberry, Errink, Afterdeath, Kreme, and Scifell. No, I will not be using Horrorlust in this book because I just don't get the ship. Sorry Horrorlust shippers... I really got this whole sanscest thing from Bubblyship and __Purple_Fluffball__ so go check them out AFTER you read this. Please read... This is very depressing, as you can probably tell. 0-0

[NSFW] In this world, we live in a world where everyone's AU has died out, only find out there was a heaven and hell. One per AU. Of course, the 'awares' had this place they could always go to to talk and was considered as the middle. The center, the heart. As well as hang outs, like a place for the Bad Time Trio, etc. Now, they have angels, demons, and the fallen. Fallens are angels who have committed a sin, but not evil enough to become a demon. They are frowned upon. Not considered the same. Sadly, most of them consist of young children. The angels and demons of course would fight. And at the heart of angel society, was Ink. He was the most cutest, pure, and innocent bean you could ever find. Then there was Nightmare. Being able to have him right around his fingers. Every year, if either on the Angel or Devil side, if there isn't another ruler to rule alongside the main one, or 'protector', then there is a specific time you have to find someone. Otherwise, you get kicked off as it is unfair to rule alone. The only reason Ink isn't kicked off is because he has someone ruling with him. Dream & Blue. Of course, Nightmare has only been able to stall by trying to find one, seeing them as not the one, and the counter gets reset. You can't do it forever though. Now, Ink terribly naive for a protector. Of course, he was the heart. He had a place in everyone's heart- With Dream & Blue being the next. Blue being a guard, and Dream being his 'right-hand man.' Most of the time being the one helping and guiding Ink. They soon find him to be missing, captured by the demons. Panic would be spread all over the place if they were to find out Ink was missing. With this, and a limited time to work with, considering if you were to officially become a ruler of somewhere, your heart has to actually want to leave if you were to leave. Would Dream and Blue be able to save Ink? Or would Ink become the next Queen? The next queen of the Demons? Join us on this journey to find out.
💜The Unexpected Truth💜 ~Dreamswap Fanfic~ by HimeOfShyness

"Everyone was beginning to see that something was off about Nightmare, especially Dream. He was acting in ways that weren't typical for him. Even though Dream really wanted to stop caring about his "not-so-related-brother," he just couldn't help it. What Dream doesn't realize is that Nightmare has a huge secret he's kept hidden for a really long time-maybe even decades! Will Nightmare share his secret with everyone, or will he keep it a secret forever?" Same thing as the events of Dreamswap but has a twist in it. I had this idea for a very long time now ever since I read numerous fanfics of DS. So I decided to turn it into a reality and write my own. Bare in mind that this is the first Undertale AU, I'm writing unlike other fandoms I wrote. Like TMNT, CountryHumans, Ninjago and etc. In this story, it is canon that DS!Nightmare and DS!Dream are not related. This is confirmed by the owner of the AU. "Dreamswap Dream and Nightmare weren't even created by the tree spirit they were literally just snatched as babies to be guardians and had magic blobs made by the tree spirit, yeeted into them that made them immortal and are being specifically stated to have different parents." 💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜 Disclaimer: I have no ownership ties to Undertale or the AU. Except for the inside this book which is written by me. I want to thank to my friend, P3RISHABLE for the beautiful book cover. 😍 Dreamswap belongs to this amazing and talented person: OneBizzareKai 😎
