Dreamling Bingo - Teasing

Future chapter of a Drunk Dream fic that’s unnamed.

“You wish…to court me?”

“Yep.” Hob says, popping the p. “We’re probably going to have to do it the old-fashioned way since you refuse to get a phone like the grumpy old man you are, but no matter. Expect lots of flowers, and chocolates, and a little teddy bear holding a heart. It’ll be delightfully tacky, as per the dating etiquette of this century.”

Dream stares at him for a long time.

“Alright.” Dream finally allows with a calculative tilt of his head, like Hob is a particularly difficult puzzle. “And how exactly do you plan to send me such things?”

“In my dreams.” Hob answers, wiggling his fingers all mysteriously, as if he has any control over that whatsoever. “So, buckle up, Nightmare King, because I’m about to woo the hell out of you.”

Flint considered what to say. “You told me once you saw what I saw, a world where there was nothing left to lose.” He watched a white moth fluttering at the top of the window nearest the bed. “I might have said you were right, that day in the forest.” He felt Silver’s gaze like it had a measurable weight and kept his eyes on the moth. “Only it wasn’t true. Even if you had been lying about Thomas.”

I don't think anyone is as happy with this as those sewn on smiles imply From left to right we have Lili (me!), @star-going-supernova, @snippyschnapps (with @guess-my-country on top. Snippy is legless and Tier is a little too Noodly to stand), and @acetrainerkatie! If I knew how to draw @insanityallegra she would also be here! (is that the correct pronoun please correct me if it isn't) If anyone else wants to be plushified I'll draw it! :D

Dreamling Bingo - Table Sex

There’s nothing explicit in this snip, all that comes directly after. This is just the soft squishiness that comes before.

“I…”

“Yes…?” Hob prompts with an easy smile, idly letting his fingers trail up and down Dream’s side, memorising the contours of his body, the line of his torso, down to the sharp angle of his hipbone. When he glances up, Dream’s frown has him withdrawing immediately. “What’s wrong? We can stop if you want. Just say the word.”

“No.” Dream says, legs tightening around Hob’s waist. “I…have not done this in a while. With past lovers, I was capable of transforming my physical form to better suit their preferences. I’m unable to ascertain yours nor meet them without the full extent of my power.”

Hob’s might shake him. Or kiss him. Possibly both.

“Oh, you silly twit.” He hears himself breathe, and Dream must catch it too because his face crinkles towards offence, but Hob kisses him again before he can get started on that. “I want you.” He breathes against pliant lips, and he means the words as sure as any oath as he presses their foreheads together. “I just want you.”

“Yes, I gathered as much.” Dream says, projecting his usual haughty smugness, but there’s a stilted undertone that Hob doesn’t like. “But I would…like to make this particular experience as enjoyable for you as possible.”

“I’m afraid that works both ways, love.” Hob chuckles, hands gliding up the side of Dream’s neck, cupping his jaw “My preference is you. No matter the shape, the form, the name, the century – it’s you. It’s always been you, and It’s always going to be you.”

“Careful with your words, Hob Gadling.” Dream warns in a husky murmur, staring at him through half-lidded lashes with a burning hunger. “Eternity is a long time to pledge yourself.”

Hob considers that.

“I’m always careful.” He whispers, and Dream’s eyes widen slightly at his seriousness.

Dreamling Bingo - Chains

I’ve had this wip for months, and it’s from a fic that’s probably going to be called Poppycock Wishes. It’s a Dream is a Genie AU. 

2023 @dreamlingbingo fill for square: C5 Chains

CW: enslavement I guess but in the genie sense?

｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. 

“What do you want to do?”

“Me?” The Stranger’s brows shoot towards the heavens. “You are the ruby bearer, are you not?”

“Well, yeah, but I also accidentally kept you in a drawer for a good three years, so I would understand if you would rather not stay with me.” He stresses, guilt still shredding his insides. “And quite frankly, I have no desire for you to – to serve me. So, if there’s a preferable course of action here, then I implore you to speak it.”

The Stranger looks utterly confused, to the point where Hob gets the impression this has never happened before.

“I am not at liberty to have a preference.” The Stranger eventually says. “Do what you will with the ruby.”

Hob quirks a challenging brow and dangles the gem in question threateningly above the open drawer. “Really? Okay, I guess I’ll just put this away again until I figure out –“

“Do not,” The Stranger growls, bristling with a sudden ferocious intensity, “put me back in that wretched compartment.”

“Alright.” Hob concedes softly. “Good. So, you do have a preference. Cough it up then.”

The Stranger levels him with a truly lethal look - one that suggests Hob is asking him to break several rules right now. “The choice is yours. I am to remain impartial. However, perhaps I might remind you that I am bound to grant the wish of whoever possesses the ruby, be their intentions good or bad.”

“Which do you think I have?”

“I think you’re unaware of the power you currently hold.”

Hob huffs, tossing the ruby onto the bed. The Stranger’s eyes track it as it sails through the air and lands somewhere within the rumpled sheets. “Look, you’ve already granted me eternal life. It would be – well, it would be downright greedy for me to ask for anything more, wouldn’t it? If I built a life entirely from wishes alone, what would be the point of it all? It’s the path of a cheater.”

“Then pass the ruby on to another.” The Stranger says, bland.

“And if they wish for the world to burn?”

The Stranger meets his gaze to answer with painful simplicity. “Then the world, Hob Gadling, would burn.”

Do you have a snippet of YMO?

I mostly just have very rough outline notes for this one at this point. But I worked a little something up today just for you and me, anon. Thank you for asking about this one 🩵

Little rough snippy under the cut, cw for mention of deceased children.
