fuck i just realized in chapter 3 Lucienne is still hanging in the back while Dream is basically saying he’s gonna breed you 😭😂

[dreamdaddymorpheus]

You spoke about how Scarlet Witch reader reacts to Dream helping Calliope but can we get how ancient vampire reader reacts? I love your story it got me feeling sum things I hope you’ll write more brat tamer Dream, never thought I needed or wanted that! Your imagination is amazing!!!!!!! Or Dream said their deal is that he will submit to her mercy, can you elaborate on that please 👀👀

I absolutely hated what happened to Calliope so that will always reflect in my writing. Vamp!Reader would not be as obliging to Calliope's wishes as Scarlet Witch!Reader was, she would absolutely make sure Richard Madoc would know true h ell. Dream would fight her about it in respect to Calliope but like does she give a damn? Naw lmao I'm sure Dream can charm her into compromising tho. Like, sure, she'll listen to Calliope for now but once Richard's d ead it's fair game and honestly that's the best deal they're gonna get out of her.

lucifer: why are you s crewing with this mortal in particular? reader: it's a you-had-to-be-there kind of thing *proceeds to t orture richard* lucifer: aight

Also, vamp!reader would have zero chill about the cheek to cheek moment Dream and Calliope had. Expect more tantrums, silent treatment, threats lmao she'd be petty as h ell. They'd be at dinner with Dream's siblings and she will 100% absolutely press her cheek against everyone's cheek for no d amn reason and just prance away, like "well word in the streets that's how we say thank you now so whatevs ig"

As for their deal— honestly when I first started down this road i just thought Dream would be providing her with sustance directly from him and in exchange she doesn't feed on mortals but as I was writing it took a bit of a turn towards...well dreamd addymorpheus lmfao there's a quote from dragon age inquisition that sums up their relationship for me and it says "she submits, but you serve" so basically I'd like to think Dream serves her but being her d om. He looks after her, spoils her, keep her in check and just worships her and in exchange she submits to him. Dream sees this as him 'submitting' to her mercy because it is what she wants and needs and he provides that.

okay your dark! morpheus headcanons have me down bad, i absolutely love it. This might be a long one bc i have many things to say: firstly i have a question!! So in this au, are other characters like lucienne and matthew aware that morpheus is dark? do they look the other way though they don't agree with it, or are they in the mindset that if it's him it's okay? Do they even consider him to be dark at all? or is that something you're leaving up to each reader's individual interpretation?

I have a little headcanon of my own of like the first time morpheus asks for a kiss for her to dream of her friends and family, reader immediately turns it down. But it's because reader's never had her first kiss. But when time passes and she just misses them all so much and her emotions regarding morpheus are so mixed that she agrees to it. To reader's surprise, he's so gentle with it. Not to say he isn't filled with desire. The kiss being needy, desperate. Slow and deep. Even with the gentleness you can feel the possession in his actions. With every bite, every hot press of lips, every swipe of the tongue, its as if he's nonverbally saying "mine" over and over again.

I also imagine that when you're in his lap, he's doing things like holding your hand, playing with your hair, or mindlessly playing with your fingers as he conducts his business. Twisting locks of your hair with his finger as he whispers something against the shell of your ear that makes you laugh and smile. And once his acts of affection are being reciprocated, oh he's even more entranced with you than before. If you sit on his lap of your own volition he's definitely going to spoil you rotten.

Also I'm imaging like, what it morpheus wasn't always dark? What if there was a reason he become so possessive? Like Desire of the endless meddling in his life to the point where Morpheus becomes obsessive with his lovers, specifically reader?

Long story short, I'm very into the idea of dark morpheus, being so obsessed with reader it defies all logic and reason. It transcends rationality. Being so consumed with reader its making him do things that doesn't make him all that different from his nightmares. I'l really like what you've presented in your headcanons, and it's something I definitely would love to see explored more!! You're a very talented writer and you really know how to reel the readers in and are engaging from the get-go!!

First, thank you so much!! This was honestly so sweet and I’m sorry it took me this long to reply. I didn’t want to rush my response because I genuinely appreciated the amount of thought that went into this! <3

Second, to answer your first question – I do think Lucienne is aware of how dark Morpheus is in this AU, she’s known him for as long as she’s been alive. She doesn’t exactly approve, but in the same way she doesn’t approve of him going to the waking world as much as he does. Like him kidnapping a human is not great, but what can you do kind of way lmao. Matthew on the other hand is still new to this and the ways of his king. Not to mention he was also human so he’s more outraged about it than Lucienne. But, again, what can you do? He would be more sympathetic to the reader’s cause and would try his best to help her in any capacity but would be wary and mindful that he doesn’t step out of line. He’s seen what Morpheus’ has done to those who has defied him.

I absolutely adore your headcanons! It is exactly what I had in mind, minus the first kiss but that’s a great addition!

As for the catalyst for Dark!Morpheus, I would say his failed human relationships lmao I’m not sure if you read the previous instalment of Don’t Blame Me, but basically, I said Morpheus learned a lot from loving humans who would later abandon him despite his devotion. So by the time he meets you, he’s already learned his lesson and decided to just take you and place you in this little bubble where no one can take you or make you leave him. I’d also like to think he sees you, to some extent, as some kind of compensation for his suffering under Roderick Burgess. Like, okay, humans screwed him over but he’ll forgive them if they let him take you and make you his wife lmao

Thank you for your sweet, sweet words! Your far too generous!

semi hiatus notice !!

Just a wee heads up that I will be going on a month long holiday to visit my family! I haven’t seen them since the end of 2019, literally just before Covid hit the world! 😭 It’s mainly why activity at the mo has been all over the place. My apologies! And although I can’t guarantee regular activity while I’m away I will be packing my laptop and my iPad with me so I’m hoping to sneak in some writing and answer some asks when I can!

[dreamdaddymorpheus]

I want to tell you that you become my favorite tumblr, like I always go back to your scarlet witch!reader fic so much, it's just so beautiful written and how you write Morpheus it's just so perfect, wherenever you post something I'm like like, reblog, re-read, don't care where am I

Oh, stop it! <3 Know that I really, really appreciate you! I always look forward to your feedbacks and your comments. I'm always a bit unsure each time I post a new story but you're always so reassuring and sweet and so hilarious!! When I write I always imagine how you'd react to certain scenes/dialogue and it always make me hyped to post it. You're lovely and genuinely one of the first few people to follow me so I'm really grateful! I made this blog on a whim but people like you have made it a safe space for me to hide away from the real world.

I feel like I have to explain the lack of activity the past couple of weeks since coming back from my holiday and long story short I’m getting a new laptop but I won’t be able to get it until just before Christmas as I’m short this month 😩 so I’ve just been lurking on my phone.

[dreamdaddymorpheus]

Good evening! Just a quick wee update that I’m finally home! I’m sorry this is late but a big warm hello to my new followers 🫶🏼 I can’t wait to check you all out. Unfortunately I am absolutely knackered and I have work tomorrow 🥲 I didn’t plan this too well lmao but thankfully Tuesday is my day off so hopefully I can answer some asks then ❤️
