Summary
Careful hands assemble sand into shapes and angles, devoted like a lover; whatever disdain Morpheus kept over his disobedience now seems small as a single grain of sand. Perhaps his pride would be his own undoing. Perhaps the Dreaming just didn’t feel complete.
Perhaps he got attached, as humans would say, but Morpheus doesn’t like that word. It feels like a foreign object in his mouth.Bookmarked by awayfromjays

Summary
'He knew what he was thanking the being for then. He knew why he was on his knees, hunched over and trembling, craning his neck to drink up the celestial form that befell him. He knew why his heart pumped the blood through his veins. He knew why he felt the warmth and saw the light and worshipped the beauty. It was all because of him. It was all for him.
“Who are you?” The figure leaned further over him in response, looming over him in a way that should have scared him, should’ve made him cower under his gaze, but only served to make his body shake in anticipation. The air seemed to swirl around the two, disturbed by the sudden movement, subtle particles of dust illuminated and sprawling. He swallowed thickly. The being smiled.
“I’m Dream,” He tested the word in his mouth, repeating it like a prayer on his lips, “And you, are my Corinthian.”'

Summary
In the moment before his introduction to Robert Burgess, The Corinthian steals just a taste of something he’s dreamt about for his entire existence. It’s not exactly what he wants.

Summary
A small tweak to canon, and everything changes. A small thing really: the Corinthian takes the amulet of protection, and becomes invulnerable. But... when is it ever that simple? After so long under the threat of Dream, can he ever really be free of him?
A story of defying expectations, finding your own identity, and helping someone else to find theirs. A story of the true power of a dark mirror.

These Violent Delights by Buttercuup

Summary
The air was damp, a chilling breeze nipping at his skin, exciting the light hairs on the nape of his neck.
And then the Corinthian finally saw him.
He felt his various mouths water, gaze instantly drawn to the lean figure curled up in the middle of an intricate glass cage.
The King of Dreams was holy in his paleness. He was like a beacon of light in the surrounding darkness, his alabaster complexion starkly contrasting against jet-black hair.
Entranced by the view, the Corinthian took a step closer like a moth to a flame.
Seemingly asleep, Dream's head rested on his arms, long limbs tangled like winter wisteria around his body to hide his shame as best as he could, unwilling to bend to mortals even at his lowest.
The sight was utterly pathetic, and send a thrill of delight down his spine.

Summary
“You shouldn’t be here.”, Dream murmured quietly to him, his voice deep and low, before turning all the way around.
“Actually, you shouldn’t be at all.”It was not the first time that he had to make and unmake him. But maybe this time things could turn out differently.

Summary
The Dreaming holds all dreams within it.
As a nightmare, Corinthian never slept to dream, not in any real sense, not in the usual way of things, but Dream needs to know how he has failed and where, the why of it, if he is to do better than before. So he goes down to the dark and endless water and all that hides within it, sprinkling a gustful of sand upon the surface, and-
“There you are.”
-they are in a bathhouse that existed an eternity ago, open to the public, mosaic and tall urns with drifting fronds. People come and go; wine is sold, perfumes. A charlatan heals the sick in one room, another holds court to an adoring public in the next.
Corinthian floats in the middle of a heated pool, steam rising from blue water.
He is gold in his paleness.
Naked, save for the smoke tinted glass over his eyes.

Summary
If he was being completely honest, Steve knew he was fucked as soon as he met his roommate.
Eddie Munson wore shirts that showed off his torso and chipped black nail polish that looked fantastic when he played the guitar and he was everything that Steve Harrington most definitely was not. Steve Harrington managed to score a spot at a prestigious university through a combination of daddy’s money and impressive athletic ability. However, his charms as a star athlete hadn’t been enough to bury his increasingly evident bisexuality or win the heart of his dormmate, who definitely hated his guts.
It didn’t matter, though, because Steve hated Eddie right back. And, hey, it’s normal to check out your sworn enemy’s ass every once in a while.

Summary
Just felt like at least trying to create a credible version of what "first time" might be like for two immortal spirit-beings with optional bodies, who are "old Earth hands" gone native. They've *seen* it all and experienced quite a lot--but they've never attempted it with each other, and never attempted integrating the celestial mode and the Earthly. They are an interesting blend of knowledge, experience, and innocence. And they are in love. Heartbreakingly in love.
Aziraphale in the initiating role, because reasons.
Hope you like. It's probably closer to "mature" than "explicit," but I prefer to play it safe in my labeling about the time the genitalia make themselves known.

Summary
Picking up right after "to the world," Crowley still hasn't gotten over the grief of thinking he's lost Aziraphale, of "it's over." He finally needs to ask -- who am I to you? It's time for Aziraphale to figure out what he wants, and answer.
Dramatic kisses in the rain, the truth emerging between them, first time sex, and intimate, ineffable fluff.
