Dreamling, 49 please! 👀👀

kiss prompts, #49 …out of necessity.

this is a ficlet that will be shoved into my "hiatus/backburnered" folder because I couldn't fit it into any existing WIPs and I want to finish some more before I start adding others...

---

Dream lies slack, robes torn and mudstained from where he got pulled from a thorn ring of the Fae, but someone's cleaned his pallid face.

"He won't wake up," Lucienne says.

Hob's heart seizes.

Dream is so still, lying on Hob's bed. Dream's frequently quiet and unfidgeting, but there's usually still a charged energy around him where he forces Waking reality to accept a form of fantasy and dreams. He's also usually not as translucent in places.

"I believe narrative work is at play," she adds.

"Narrative work?"

"The Fae work not just in glamours, but stories and narrative compulsion. Lord Morpheus is dreams, stories. They have forced narratives upon him."

"Fairy tales," Hob murmurs. "So."

"I thought true love's kiss might work."

"But - I'm not - we're not..."

She gives him a pitying look. "Don't lie to yourself. Not about this."

Hob looks down at Dream, who is comatose and almost - fading, and takes a breath. He leans down and kisses Dream's forehead, which is like ice.

Dream's body spasms, and he coughs, chokes on a sudden breath, and his eyes flood wide and black with stars. "Hob?"

"Welcome back," Hob says, daring to reach out and hold Dream's hand.

The PM said he will also be banning the use of 'hateful slurs' including 'spineless prick' and 'class traitor'.

@lenreli said: Yusaku’s duel disk reminds me of a Leverage episode, and the mark was running an extremely sophisticated program on an ancient 90’s computer, making it impossible to hack compared to say, laptops today. Idk, it’s cool.

It was only possible to hack it in person, so I imagine it’d be like that for Yusaku. But with his disk, there’s also Ignis trapped in it, so it’s practically unhackable! Barring something that attacks Ignis directly. :/

I’ve never watched Leverage, but to my (very limited!) knowledge, irl hackers will use old computers for this general reason. And we can assume why Yusaku uses an outdated disk, for the protection it provides. But it probably isn’t full proof; both he and Shoichi have hooked it up to their computers before to study Ignis/Ai, so it can probably be hacked into/corrupted, just not remotely. The risk of that happening is pretty small, at least right now, since no one knows Yusaku=Playmaker. 

As for the protection Ignis could provide? Imo, debatable. We know he can attack and eat virus’s in Link Vrains, but can he take that monstrous form in the real world, theoretically the only place Yusaku’s disk could be hacked? We don’t know yet; maybe he can, but being an AI it would also make sense if he were more powerful in the digital world than the natural one.

Do you ever think of the sh/e/iths that hate L/ance but love H/unk, and how H/unk would highkey hate them and want to fight them all. :) A good thought.

three sentences for

the fat endless dream wip, in which dream was once fat and the dreamers' view of him, as well as the hits to his own psyche from everyone around him, caused him to become more and more insubstantial.

Dream had not always been… so insubstantial. He wanted, sometimes, to protest to Hob that it wasn't just the cage, it was how the dreamers envisioned him, too. And he never managed, the words always choking.

from "for space is wide and good friends are too few," a sci fi au!

notes: blood, injury

Jessamy activated the battle station alert; The Dreaming was already dropping and tilting to the side, then with a burst of power flew almost directly under the other ship to come out the other side. The sudden change in acceleration pinned Jessamy to her seat.  "I'm getting strange energy readings off the other vessel!" Hob called. "They are unknown, Captain, not in any current databases." "Describe to the best of your knowledge. Lieutenant Corvin, try hailing them again." Jessamy switched open all frequencies. "Hailing unknown vessel. This is UFSS The Dreaming, please respond." "They're distorting our sensors!" Hob said. "Some kind of warpifying effect." Silence continued to meet Jessamy from the comms. "No response to our hail, Captain." "Energy readings getting stronger," Morpheus said. "Recommend putting distance between us, Captain." Before the captain could respond, a powerful pulse of energy smashed into The Dreaming. Alarms blared at once; the ship tumbled, and Jessamy nearly fell out of her chair, harness straps straining.  "Captain! Nav off-line, we are being pushed into the Aurora photon-stream!"  A dazzling burst of light filled the flight deck and the ship rolled into a dizzying spin. This time the harness straps failed, sending Jessamy tumbling to the deck, wing flaring with pain. The sound of screams and shouts mixed into the shrieking alarms. The smell of smoke filled her nostrils and Rachel — one of the navigators — thudded to the floor beside her, unconscious or dead, blood streaming from her nose. Jessamy rolled over her, smashing her arm into a chair as the ship continued to roll, and then a firm hand grabbed hers and reeled her in, holding her in place until at last the ship's momentum slowed.  Her arm and left wing screamed with pain, but she seemed to have gotten off lightly. She looked into Hob Gadling's starkly-pale face, and he didn't let go of her. Not even when they saw the carnage of the navigators' section. 

well everything has gone to hell in a handbasket here
