    Summary


    ...although he's done this many times before, when the metal pricks his skin, Dream still lays frozen like an ice sculpture as his heart pounds against his chest.

    He has sold his vintage leather jacket, his treasured collection of elegant handmade cloaks (there was a theatrical phase, it’s complicated), and most of his books (the shelves of his sparse apartment now hold only a few cheap volumes of blank paper for his sketches). But it wasn’t enough.

    Burgess was years ago, but Dream's life still lies in ruins.

    He does not like being here. But it seems that this — his body's materials, his very essence — is the only thing of value he has to offer the world. This most basic biological function, the blood pumping through his veins, is all anyone wants of him now.



    BEHOLD: The Starving Artist Dream/Plasma AU nobody asked for!

    a.k.a Dream meets a chatty professor while struggling to pay his bills, they both have haunted pasts and are accidentally the salve for each other's wounds.

    Summary

    Hob should have fucking known Dream, in his Endless lifetime, had learned how to wield such a weapon. Should have known when Dream came prepared with black leather gauntlets up to his elbows and supple black leather pants that would provide protection in addition to range of movement.

    He just hadn’t thought… well, that didn’t matter now. Just leave it at that. Hob hadn’t thought.

    Hob needs someone to sub in for an edged weapons demo very last minute. He probably should have been suspicious when Dream offered.
