Ineffable

A Demon Morpheus x Anger Reader, in the Good Omens world. Don’t ask me why. It’s ineffable. 

They might never have met.

Even though they were almost as old as the universe, had been on the same side at one point, fought in the same war, and now operated on the rock called Earth, nothing compelled an angel and a demon to meet.

Most of the time the two sides were doing everything so that their paths did not cross.

But Y/N got along well with Aziraphale, Morpheus sometimes visited Crowley, and since Aziraphale and Crowley did nothing like everyone else, their paths hadn't stopped crossing for more than 6000 years.

However, there was really nothing that destined Y/N and Morpheus to do the same.

Y/N had been commissioned on Earth to primarily take care of animals. After all, they were also creations of God, pure creations, who hadn't touched the forbidden fruit, and who deserved as much attention as the loud, selfish humans, if not more. It was difficult, because humans kept hurting the animals she loved, in increasingly imaginative ways.

This could be partly blamed on Morpheus, even if it was not his primary goal, and therefore he was not the only one responsible. He had chosen this name during a trip in Ancient Greece, because being a demon of dreams, he thought it sounded good. One of the most powerful and beautiful, dreams always being pleasant at first, he was sometimes incubus, sometimes nightmare, and sometimes he simply tempted people by whispering to them ideas, desires, useless needs, which they could not forget after they woke up.

It was the demon who first encountered Aziraphale, following Crowley. He was surprised to find that the angel liked books so much. Usually, angels did not attach themselves to material and frivolous things.

       "My angel is a bit special." Crowley had said with a small smile.

Morpheus could have laughed, he could have reported this strange friendship to the authorities below, he could have used this information to tempt Aziraphale, but being of dreamlike essence, he loved stories, he was inspired by them, and he often returned to visit the angel to discover new books which made his work simpler and more amusing.

Y/N met Crowley while she was dealing with snakes. The demon continually refused to explain how he managed to get himself into such a mess, trapped among ordinary snakes that humans were going to use to make clothes, bags and shoes. He had been lucky that Y/N had intervened and noticed that he was not a normal snake.

Of course, since he was a demon, she didn't really trust him. But he was part snake, and she really liked animals, so she thought that was a good sign. And when he mentioned Aziraphale, she thought he couldn't be that bad.

He didn't like the compliment at all, taking it as an insult.

The meeting between Morpheus and Y/N happened in 1543. An ordinary day, during which Y/N had followed Crowley to the library of his angel, where the demon of dreams was already.

        "... Don't take this the wrong way, Aziraphale, one demon I can try to understand, but two ? Do you have something to tell me ?"

        "No ! No, not at all. It's just a customer who came to get a book, nothing more."

        "On the other hand Crowley, you seem to attract angels like honey."

        "I am no one's honey."

         "Not important." Morpheus sighed, turning to Y/N, wearing a seductive smile, trying to take her hand to kiss it and only bowing to her when she stepped back. "It's a real pleasure to meet you."

Since he wasn't a snake, Y/N decided not to trust him at all. Even after a while, or rather several decades, she continued to be suspicious.

But Morpheus didn't go after the animals, it was totally unnecessary, a real waste of time, since they didn't commit any sin and all went straight to heaven, so she considered she should just ignore him, focusing on her work. It would be simple, they had no reason to meet outside of Aziraphale's bookstore.

        "Hello, little angel."

        "... If you say it's a coincidence again, I'll rip your tongue out."

        "What violence for a being of light." said Morpheus, mock-shocked, holding one hand behind his back.

        "Are you here again to give me a present and apologize for what happened last time ?"

        "Rome was an accident, I swear !"

        "Demons are liars, they don't swear. And you just admitted that all the other times were voluntary !" Y/N growled.

Since their meeting, the angel and the demon kept meeting, by accident. At least that was what Morpheus claimed. Y/N didn't believe it at all, because each time, he found a way to put her in embarrassing, dangerous, or unpleasant situations. All his pranks and pettiness was starting to get annoying.

But after each bad deed, he came back with a sad pout, offered a present to apologize to her, without ever saying the three magic words.

       "I don't see why I would forgive you this time. It was really awful."

        "Maybe because it's charitable to forgive, and mostly because I brought this ?"

When the demon presented the cat statue to her, Y/N tried her best to keep calm. It was a very beautiful cat statue, obviously old, full of history, certainly Japanese, and which would fit perfectly in her large collection. If Aziraphale liked books, Y/N had a weakness for everything that had to do with animals.

        "... Fine. I forgive you, again, because it's the right thing to do, and I pray that you finally find your way to salvation."

        "Of course, little angel, of course."

Obviously, this was all a very amusing distraction for the dream demon, and as long as she wasn't decorporated, and no animals were harmed, Y/N didn't really have a problem with that. He tormented her a bit, but she was used to it now, and his gifts were really lovely.

It wasn't that bad.

         "He's courting you."

Y/N tried not to spit her tea on the precious books in the shop, as Aziraphale threw this absurd sentence at her without any warning.

         "I'm sorry ! I've been wondering if I should step in for a while. I had some doubts, and spoke with Crowley about it, just to be sure. He confirmed to me that according to demonic practices, Morpheus had been courting you for a very long time now. According to him, it's obvious, only a blind idiot wouldn't see it. He asks that you remain discreet, these practices are secrets, he agreed to tell me because he owes you one, even though he refused to tell me what. There you go. You know everything."

        "... You think Morpheus is in love with me ?"

        "Oh, no. I mean, I don't know if demons can feel love. Not like us, anyway. But he sure feels something, demons don't court for fun."

        "I had no idea. I don't know what to do."

        "It depends, my dear. Are you interested ?" he asked nervously, not sure which answer he'd rather hear.

Y/N didn't know. This was a real surprise and she had never really wondered if she liked Morpheus. He was a demon after all, he wasn't trustworthy, he was her natural enemy, he was evil.

But he had never touched animals. He had even sometimes helped her in her work, being very patient, very gentle with the poor little creatures, holding them close to him and murmuring reassuring words in the old language.

Despite his pranks, he wasn't the most terrible demon she had encountered. Aziraphale said that if someone loved books, there must be divine light in them. Crowley had confided to her that Morpheus was the only demon he frequented. They got along pretty well. So maybe... Maybe this was all a good thing. That was part of the plan.

        "... What ?"

        "I asked you if you are courting me ?" she repeated shyly, trying not to smile too much.

        "Little angel, where did you get such an idea ?"

        "A snake hissed the idea to me. Listen, the pranks, the gifts, all this time we spend together... It does mean something."

"Indeed, that means you're naive and easy to fool." replied Morpheus with a cruel grimace "Me, courting you ? Poor thing, that's ridiculous. Demons don't court, they manipulate, they tempt, and they bring down. That's the only purpose we have, nothing more. "

If she had a heart, it would have broken in that moment. Not wanting to hear more, Y/N returned to her little house, where she did not cry, for the angels did not cry.

She hesitated to throw away all the gifts she had treasured, feeling ridiculous to have believed that a demon could be her friend, or more. Aziraphale and Crowley were wrong.

Several days passed. The bookseller angel phoned her to see if everything was okay when she didn't come to their weekly meeting to try out a new restaurant. Besides books, he really loved food.

She apologized, saying that she had had a lot of work, and now she had to take care of some things at home. He insisted, certain that something had happened, and since she was not good at lying, she told him everything that had happened before hanging up.

Another day passed until the black cat scratched at her window. Unable to resist an animal, she let it in, before realizing that it was not a cat.

         "... Morpheus. Did you come to manipulate me, tempt me or bring me down ?"

         "I... I came to apologize."

         "Sure." she sighed without looking at him. "And turning you into a cat is a way of coaxing me, I guess. Because I'm stupid, naive and I'm bound to accept your fake excuses as always."

         "No, listen to me, little angel. I freaked out when you came to see me, I... I didn't think you would broach the subject so frankly. In fact, I thought you already knew, and that we were not talking about it because it was not necessary."

         "If you try to prank me again..."

         "No !" he insisted, changing back to his human form, trying to take her hands, like when they first met. "It's complicated. I'm a demon, and you're an angel. It seems impossible, completely crazy. Forbidden ! I don't want you to be in trouble because of me, I don't want to lose what we have. I didn't want to hurt you, I shouldn't have said all those things, but I didn't know what to do, I didn't think it through. I just wanted everything to stay the way it was, that's all."

           "So... You want me to pretend we never had this conversation, so you can keep courting me while I pretend not to know and don't really respond to your advances, like an endless waltz ?"

           "Exactly ! Is it okay, sweet angel ? You… You accept being wooed without realizing it for eternity ?"

           "... I don't know. I don't quite understand what you're talking about. But I still haven't forgotten Rome, so if you could turn back into a cat and let me pet you, that would be a good start."

While a cat dream demon purred on the lap of an angel who pretended not to know she was cuddling a demon, two other entities watched from the window, making no comment, as Crowley and Aziraphale had been in much the same situation for 6,000 years now.

Maybe it was a part of the great plan. But since it was ineffable, they would never know for sure.

I couldn't help but use the idea of Cross being an exorcist who was called to get a demon out of Dream. ☆

Congrats on 20K @li-wri!!! I adore your dnf art, and its been a big inspiration to my art for a while now. Keep rocking it!! You're amazin!

ok u said smp dream angst so consider: dream being possessed by a dreamon the whole time, and his life was ruined for things he never did. he was never in control of his body for a while, and im just thinking abt the psychological angst involved. like nobody noticed it wasnt him? him learning what he did?? aaaaaa

HONESTLY?? I THINK THIS IS DEFINITELY AN OPTION RIGHT NOW. my canon theory is that dream has been possessed for a long long time, and that the dream we’re seeing now in prison is the real him — dream, still possessed but in control of his body for the first time, absolutely devastated with what he’s done and unable to do anything but feel responsible, which is why he doesn’t tell anyone.

and boy, can you imagine the pain that comes with knowing your best friends abandoned you the moment you started changing? of course, nobody is under any obligation to stay with someone toxic, but the fact they didn’t even question his change or worry about him ,, yikes, man, if he really is possessed. even then, you’d think someone woulda checked up on him while he was cutting off all his attachments but that’s a point for another post

dream sitting in prison feeling guilty for crimes he had no control over, taking the punishment because he thinks he deserves it — hell, maybe he even begins to believe he was responsible for everything, that the demon didn’t have any part in his actions. with everyone telling you you’re a bad guy.... you’re bound to start believing it sooner or later, especially in such an unstable mindset as dream.

tysm for this ask i’m tearing up /lh

Dream, Shattered, Nightmare.

Here ya go! I hope you guys and @zu-is-here I hope you like this to.

Dream and Nightmare were once close. As close as two people could be. They were twins, and were tight. But this was not to last.

One day a fight broke out between the two. A long and hurtful argument, which resulted in a pained and upset nightmare to run from the house.

He never came back. His body was never found, but his star pendant (that's the one Dream now where's) and a few bones were. He was pronounced dead. Dream was overcome at this point. His own brother was dead because of him, the guilt ate him up from the inside.

Years passed and the loneliness, guilt and pain never went away, and never got better. And over time he started to become desperate. His brother had always been fascinated by witch craft and dark magic. As far as Dream was aware Nightmare had never proformed any rituals, but he had many books and charms. He finally decided to do something very stupid.

In his desperation he tryed to use a spell to bring his brother back to life, but at first it seemed like it didn't work. However, the nightmares started.

Then the shadows, and the feeling ill and bitter. Then he felt like someone was always in his house. Things went missing and cats would hiss at him as he walked past.

Somthing went wrong. Instead of his brother he brought something truly evil to life in his brothers place. Somthing he couldn't fight. It fed off his sadness and dark feelings until it finally grew enough strength to take him over.

Once taken over, he became shattered. Luckily it didn't take long for his friends notice there was something very wrong and contact the local church exorcist. The exorcision was successful. Dream was shaken up, but Cross tried to assure him that it was OK.

It was over.

All over.

Truly over, right?

(p.s the demon decided that he needs to where heels)

Your intentions are my consequences (3k) has Angel George and Demon Dream interactions thought it's a WIP with one more chapter left to go
