    Summary

    Tommy was used to being Dream’s punching bag.

    That was what he really was, more than an assistant. It’s not like Dream ever let him make actual decisions- he had to fucking beg for the slightest changes. He was Dream’s emotional support hostage, there to be a constant presence, someone to talk to, to spend time with, to take anger out upon.

    They all had their scars from the experiments, he supposed. Dream did not spare himself from their agony, and the constant fear of being alone, how he clung onto Tommy like a rag doll, his frequent rages and equally frequent depressive periods… there was something fundamentally altered from the old Dream there, traits that were once present but manageable ramped up to the point he’d once had to try and figure out how to calm him down from a panic attack after he’d left for ten minutes to go and fetch documents.

    That was the biggest secret Tommy knew. Even Dream was not happy with what he created.

    ——

    Or, c!Dream achieves his big happy family yet does not fill the void in his heart. c!Tommy, always the first to suffer his wrath, is also the only one to know this secret. An examination on a very dark idea of a c!Dream victory.
