Dark with Both Eyes Open

Summary:

Eddison Watts is in love with Volt.

He cannot admit it, not even to himself, not even to Nightmare, though he Dreams of his Death so often, when he dreams.

MCD is within the context of a dream, and therefore not real, but is described in detail.

Notes:

Written in collaboration with CipherLife60. Buddy you're freaking stellar to write with and I love this guy's messed up little brain, thank you for letting me poke at it with a stick.

This will be at least 3 chapters; Chapter one is the shortest, as it is the summary of the recurrent nightmare that Eddie related to Dorian upon which we based our initial Dream. Chapter 2 will be posted concurrently; Chapter 3 is still being written.

Chapter 1: ReCurrent

Summary:

There are Dreamers in the house, who do not require attention so much as presence. Eddison Watts was not one of them.

His Dream always starts the same.

Notes:

This chapter was written, in its entirety, by my co-author. It's also more of a prelude, than a chapter.

Chapter Text

I overload

Short circuit

Whatever you want to call it

The house goes dark

And Volt

Well

He dies

Just like that

And I cant help it

All I can do is hold him in my arms

Beg for him to come back

But it never works

Sometimes I stumble into the rest of the house, after

And I find Lux or Connie or another appliance

And they look at me, they freaking stare at me, not saying a single word

And I realize, there’s no light shining behind their eyes

Which scares me so much I want to leave

But the door is locked

And I wanna scream so bad

Realizing I’m stuck inside the house

With the hollowed shells of people I used to know

And the corpse of a man who I once held dearest

And I just

I can’t Dorian

I fucking can’t
