Summary
Two Princes, vying for the throne. There's always been a rivalry between them, really; Nightmare with his words and books, and Error with his sword. It should come to no surprise that they've committed to a fight to the death for the crown.
But they are not just Princes. They are brothers too.
OR: Prince!Nightmare and Prince!Error run away, rather than duel each other.

Summary
Dream and Cross are so wonderfully intertwined, but not in love. "Love" hardly seems like the right world for the burning thing between them. Perhaps obsession was a better word. At this point they're so codependent it would fit.
But— is their twisted codependency really just a product of fate?
Or is it a planned scheme to keep something in check?Series

Summary
AU where Ink and Error are old gods and Dream and Nightmare Avians kidnapped from their nest at birth.
Their abductors lock them away from the outside world and bind their wings. They abductors focus on Nightmare, leaving Dream to pass the time alone with daydreams and wistful dying hopes.
They make an unwilling weapon out of Nightmare.
Though Nightmare was sent out on countless assassination missions, Dream has never seen the sky since the day they were abducted, and how he longs for it.
When Nightmare gets injured severely and is unable to take on the next mission, Dream gets a chance to see the outside world again. He crosses paths with Ink and Error, who notice his condition, and... do not take kindly to it.

Summary
The Multiverse wasn't a peaceful place. That's why Ink was given a second chance at life; to play the part of Protector. He's a good Protector. The Multiverse is much more peaceful now.
So the Multiverse decides it no longer needs a Protector. This has... consequences.
Most notably on Error, Dream, and of course, Ink.

Summary
Nightmare received a Prophecy, that he would kill his brother.
Dream also received a Prophecy, that he would be killed by his brother.You would think that, with Prophecies as their warning and two brothers who'd rather die than hurt each other, the tragic fate of Dreamtale could be avoided. Sadly not.

Summary
Assassinated, the rumours went, of a young Prince killed in his very home. Protocol called for the grandest of funerals for a Prince taken so soon, but everyone who knew him knew he would’ve thought such proceedings to be in poor taste. In the wake of the Kingdom’s grief, they chose otherwise.
Instead, a quiet funeral was held, and Nepeta was buried under moonlight.Prince Nepeta died one night. This became common knowledge.
What didn't, was that it had been his brother who killed him.
But perhaps this was better, for Nepeta had asked to die, for to be the Guardian of Negativity was much like his namesake; a Nightmare. What could Marigold, too known as Dream but only to his brother and the Protector, do but comply?Series

Summary
Cross accidentally ‘offends’ a Fae and as penance (though it’s really just for the Fae’s petty amusement) has to face impossible tasks. However, he also meets the Fae’s very beautiful brother, Dream, and after the first two times he saves his life he seems to be falling in love…
Dream loves him, yes, but a Fae’s affection is not that great of a thing to receive at all. But Cross doesn't know that.

Summary
Cross visits Dream for no reason in particular. They happen to talk about some things. Like how Cross, despite being in Nightmare's group, continues to drop in on him from time to time. Like how he keeps coming by, but retracts whenever Dream shows even a smidge of affection.
Like how their love is destroying them both but neither of them can let go.
Not about how they met, Dream (then physically a statue but mind free to explore all the dreams of the world) and Cross (with so much blood on his hands and an empty world and aching heart), but how they separated: Dream, free of the stone, scrambling to his knees and calling Cross' name but there was no one. Cross, abruptly awake and alone, calling Dream's name but there was no one.
The next visitor would be Nightmare, and Cross would take him up on his offer. The next time they would meet would be on the battlefield, and they would be enemies (they could never be enemies).
The question is, though, who betrayed who?

Summary
The Council makes a deal with the fabled God Dream for his assistance in defeating his tyrant God twin, Nightmare. However, Dream will not help them for free; he locks eyes with Cross, and decides he wants him in exchange for the war victory. It's an easy decision, is it not?
There's just one problem with this arrangement: Cross is a spy, sent by Nightmare himself. And Nightmare is absolutely unforgiving of traitors. But he cannot offend Dream, for he too is an Immortal. He cannot forget how dangerous they both are, how any wrong move will end in his demise or worse.
(Cross forgets, however, that he himself is mortal.)
[OR: A Empire/Kingdoms UTMV AU, where Cross is caught between the crossfire of Immortal/Gods! Dreamtale Twins. Who have also been influenced by God!Ink and God!Error; it's a cycle, really.]

Summary
In the waning age of magic, mankind has found a way to strengthen their sorcerers. A staff processed from the remains of a sorcerer excellently amplifies the power of the one wielding it.
Dream is the most powerful sorcerer on the continent. Upon his death, Cross will be the blacksmith to process his remains into a staff.“I’m sorry, Cross. I don’t intend to live for you.” Dream turns aside. There is not a trace of lightness in his face or voice. “We don’t have anywhere else to go.”
“You always say that.” A smile cracks across my face. “Then I will stay here forever. I belong at your side.” I lift his hand to my lips and press a kiss to his palm. “This, is where my fate lies.”
The tension in his face breaks, and Dream smiles shakily. “Cross— you fool.”
