Summary
Techno wakes up to the sound of someone knocking on his door.
Sighing, brushing long hair out of his eyes, he grips the door’s handle with soft grip, turning it slowly, even as his hands shivered from the chill; he should have put on gloves. As he turns the knob, he rests a couple fingers on his sword’s handle, comfortably prepared. Just in case.
He soon realizes that a sword will hardly be necessary.
Because it’s Dream out there.
------
Or: after Dream escapes from the prison and appears outside Techno's door, he's in bad shape. Techno fulfills a request.

Summary
Sam will visit today.
He had thrown his clock into the lava, what must have been an hour prior - it was hard to keep track of time when Do Not Burn was, well, burned. He needed his clock, he needed to hear the tick, tick, tick that simultaneously shatters and repairs his mind, but- he needs the warden more. When the clocks burned, it means a few hours of clawing at the walls until his fingernails cracked and bled and softly mimicking the ticking sound to himself to give himself a small bit of comfort as he’s dragged deeper and deeper into spirals, but it also means a few seconds, maybe even a full conversation, on his luckiest days, with the warden.
He’d throw away a thousand clocks if it meant so much as a brush of Sam’s fingers against his arm.
------
Or: early on during his imprisonment, Dream has a way to get Sam to visit him.

Summary
The most tragic thing about life, George thinks, is that it moves on.
The birds do not stop chirping out of respect. The flowers do not stop growing in their grief. The sun did not stop shining in mourning. The world, despite its love for its admin, did not stop when he breathed his last.
The world did not stop, but to George, it may as well have.
------
OR: after Dream dies, George stumbles across a manifestation of their relationship outside his home. Written for the Daisy Lore AU in 2021.

Summary
"We were so worried, we heard you—" Ragatha starts, and then looks up. She meets Jax's gaze dead-on, and goes silent. Tears brim in the corner of her eye. Her hand flies up to cover her mouth. He can't tell if the look on her face is relief or fear.
Gangle's staring at him like she's seen a ghost. Pomni slowly raises to her feet, brows furrowed. She winces as every movement jars her wavering form.
Cowered on the floor, panting, confused and disoriented, with everyone standing above him, taller than him… it reminds Jax of something deeply unpleasant. They're all staring at him. They're all seeing him.
Jax knows they're not going to like what they see.
His breath quickens until his head is spinning, and he feels like he's going to vomit. He forces himself upwards with a frustrated cry, swaying in place, and then turns and bolts towards his room as fast as he can.
"NO!" Pomni screams.
(or: pomni pulls jax back from the brink.)

Summary
At some point, Grace was roofied at a nightclub.
He thinks it was in undergrad. It’s a strange and nebulous memory, even among his many strange and nebulous memories. Like weird flashes that don’t really follow any order and don’t really mean anything until they kind of start to.
He gets the first sense of it when he’s tipsy on Ilyukhina’s vodka, lying on the floor. He knows he’s been drunk before. He knows he’s been to clubs, because he can hear the music and picture the lights. But it’s this specific moment where he tilts, and he remembers thinking, oh, this isn’t right. And then that’s all.
It keeps coming back up. That oh feeling. Maybe because nothing is right, because he’s not supposed to be alone in the middle of space, with no way to get home.

“Rocky,” I say sharply. The irritation feels unpleasant inside me, foreign like a toxin.

Summary
“It’s different when I’m… looking at it. Thinking about it. Do I need to tell you again about the whole ‘taboo’ thing? I can go over it again.”
“And I watch you. We are already several layers deep into taboo.”
“I would be eating myself!”
“Grace,” I can’t help but stamp a claw for emphasis. It needs to listen,”your body is already eating itself.”
_______________________
OrGrace finds out that he can stomach the meburger.
It’s not a happy moment!
