In the midst of a gorgeous summer day, birds sang their hearts out as the sun blasted through the trees, creating shadows everywhere it shone. It was your day off from work, so you decided to take advantage of it. At first, you were just planning to sit inside and read for a while. However, the sunny weather prompted you to go for a walk. With your bag and wallet in hand, you leave without a specific destination in mind... simply somewhere else.
You turn right after locking your door, knowing that part of town will be quieter. After strolling down the street for approximately ten minutes, the unmistakable aroma of freshly brewed coffee reached your nostrils. Maybe I could use some coffee, you thought to yourself. As you followed the delightful scent, you found yourself at Coffee Bloom, a quaint cafe. As it was very busy in the morning, you decided not to bother getting coffee from the local shop near your apartment. Coffee Bloom's coffee had always intrigued you, but you hadn't had the chance to try it.
Upon entering, you are captivated by the surroundings. The cafe has a gorgeous interior. The walls were decorated with Renaissance paintings and bookshelves with genres from floor to ceiling. There were also garlands wrapped around the railings. The menu, oh, the menu sounds amazing. "Could I have a...honey latte with some caramel syrup?" You asked, grabbing your wallet to pay for it.
Drinking your coffee happily, you leave the cafe and continue walking. A man in all black catches your eye, and you know who he is immediately. The hazy glow of summer makes him stand out like a sore thumb.
While waving happily towards your endless boyfriend, you call out, "Dream!". Despite a slight head tilt, he stood motionless as he watched you curiously. No matter how many times he meets with you, you are never without a cup of coffee or tea. A daily routine you follow subconsciously, which he finds endearing. You even drink coffee when you dream. Your first question, every time you see him, is whether he would like to try your coffee. He declines every time since he does not need liquids or food like mortals. It's different this time around.
As you held the cup out to him, you exclaimed, "Dream! I just got this incredible honey latte, and my god, it's incredible! You must try it!" No matter how many times he says no when you meet, you can't help but ask. As time went on, it became routine. Though you know what he will say, you like knowing you gave him the choice. You definitely could not ask for a better boyfriend than this endless one. It is not uncommon for him to hold your hand and bring you close to him, even if he is not a big fan of public affection. He enjoys hearing you talk about your day, particularly when something exciting happens and you are practically bouncing as you tell him about it.
A smile cannot help but spread across Dream's face. As he reaches for the cup you're holding and takes a sip of the beverage, he says, "Alright, I'll try this honey latte since you seem particularly eager for me to do so." Despite your desire to make a joke, you decide against it. "Hm..it's not..unpleasant." He replies, taking another sip...and then another. As he hands it back to you, he says, "It's quite delicious, though perhaps a touch too sweet for my liking."
Before you could even stop yourself, you said, "Not as sweet as you, honeybuns." Your cheeks flushed red the moment you said it. There's no doubt that it sounds better in your head than in practice. As for Dream, he finds the whole thing quite adorable and amusing.
As he placed one finger under your chin and forced you to look at him, he whispered, "Never change my love...never change." His lips met yours in a sweet kiss. His lips taste of honey and coffee, making you sigh when you kiss him. It's moments like this that make you feel truly at peace, wrapped in the arms of your boyfriend.
Upon breaking the kiss, you interlace your fingers with his as you inquire, "So...how did you know I was here?" Both of you continue to walk as the conversation continues. "Was it Matthew? I bet it was Matthew. You know he once nearly made me break a plate because he suddenly flew through my window and spoke, scared me half shitless." A smile spreads across your face as you recall the incident.
Dream chuckles, a sound you will never tire of hearing. "Although he is incapable of sitting quietly for more than a minute, he does have a talent for lurking." He says. "To answer your question, yes Matthew saw you walking around and I thought I would join you. It has been some time since I was able to do so, I'm afraid the Dreaming has had quite a few problems lately." He says. Noticing the worry in your features he quickly adds, "It has all been solved now, no need to worry my love. I know how attached you are to my realm, if anything were to happen to it you would very much be the first to know." He kisses your forehead. Your love for his realm makes his heart swell with adoration. You have spent countless nights watching him create new nightmares and dreams, listening intently and with endless fascination as he explains their purpose and why he hhe createdm. Seeing how much you care about him, the Dreaming, and the creations in this realm makes him happy.
"I love you, honeybuns." He quietly says, watching you giggle at the word he repeated from your previous conversation.
Downing the rest of your latte, you pull him closer to you. "I love you too, Dream." And with that, you lean in to kiss him once again.
People.

I am a traitor to my homeland thanks to them.
Help.
I'm yet to see The Sandman, all I know is that everyone is hot af
The task of modifying and modernizing the Sandman, aka Morpheus’ look, fell to veteran makeup and hair designer Graham Johnston.
“To me, it was a sort of slightly new romantic goth feel to him,” Johnston explains. “And the main thing was his hair. What I wanted to do was give a sort of unreal look to it, but also a look that would be acceptable moving amongst mankind — so that he can be striking but not out of place.”
“It’s a LOT of hair products,” he recalls, laughing. “We had a session with Tom where I sat down and was like Edward Scissorhands attacking the hair.” (x)
and he had this morbid fascination with all things dead.

Finally Together
Morpheus x Reader
As lady of the dreaming you watch over all dreams and Nightmares with your beloved husband, Morpheus,
It had been eos ago when you had meet, and you have loved him ever since, it has devastated you when your husband was captured, you had wanted to help your husband, but you are weak in the waking world and you wanted to make sure the dreaming stays much intact to which it sort of worked but was saddend by the damage the kingdom had fallen.
Once your husband came back throthe throne room where you stand, you were such overwhelmed with such emotions as you seen your husband, standing there,
you both passionately kissed each other as it had been so long since you both had been in each others arms,
But you knew Morpheus had a job to do to fix the kingdom and so he did, and through trial and errors, through heart ship and learning to trust, the kingdom had been restored to its beauty,
But through all this, the lack of your husband by your side weights you. You knew he needed to fix the kingdom, but it had been so long that you wanted to have some time with you're husband, and Lucienne notice this.
As Morpheus was busy in the throne room Lucienne in, clearing her throat to catch his attention to which Morpheus respond with a hum,
"My lord, it had come to my attention that your wife has been feeling lonely, as of late" Morpheus glance up from his work as he got out of his throne, Morpheus knew he must spend time with his wife but as of late his work had kept him away from his wife, he knew he needed to make up for all the lonely nights, "excuse me Lucienne but I am going to see my wife, would you mind looking after the place?" Lucienne nodded as Morpheus walked out of the throne room and went to there bedroom.
But to his surprise she wasn't at all in the bedroom, he then called to Matthew to looked for he as he began to wonder where she had went but realised where she would be.
((Y/N) POV)
I softly walked among Fiddlers creek gazing at the twinkling stars that shine across the dreaming, all the while thinking about my husband, he had busy as of late to which you understands but you miss the time spending quality time with your husband,
"My Love," I turned around and saw my husband standing there looking beautiful as the day I laid my eyes on him for the first time, I couldn't contain the smile that grew across my face as he walked up to me and held my hands before kissing my cheek, he lingered there for a moment before lean back and looking at me with such love and affection he has for me,
"I am so sorry, of neglecting you for such a long time, I shouldn't be doing that to my wife," I shook my head as I rest my hand on his cheek, and he leaned into my touch, "my dear husband, I understand you have a duty to serve, I completely understand"
"But I should be spending some time with my wife who I left alone when I was captured" I leaned closer as I kissed him softly relishing in the feeling I hadn't felt since he came back,
"But you are now here, so walk with me, let's enjoy gazing at the stars together Morpheus" he smiled as he lead me the way as we found a comfy spot to sit together as we held each other close looking at the beautiful stars that shined for us,
"I love you so much Morpheus" he looked towards me before treading his fingers through my hair leaning his head against mine, "and I love you, for all eternity my dear love"
Sweet Treat For A Sweet Dream
Morpheus x GN!Reader
You were having difficult fallen asleep for three nights and you couldn't get to sleep, when your worried boyfriend decided to visit and want to help,
Hope you enjoy this little story, I sometimes has also difficulty sleeping at times and thought of making a little story of Morpheus helping you finally having a good night sleep
You were tossing and turning and couldn't really sleep at all, it had been the third night you hadn't had any sleep at all, you tried everything to fall asleep, but nothing had worked out.
You toss the duvet off you're body as you got up and marched into the kitchen making yourself a cup of tea, you were so busy trying to make yourself some tea that you hadn't noticed Morpheus, your boyfriend standing at the doorway to the kitchen, "Having trouble sleep, my sparrow?" You jumped and turned around, holding a hand over your chest as you gave him a death glare, "at least announce yourself before giving me a heartattack?" You turned around and finished making your tea before sitting down as Morpheus joined you.
Yes your boyfriend was literally the King of Dreams and Nightmares, you know you should ask your boyfriend to help you sleep by giving you those sand that he carried, but you are quite stubborn and had dealt with this before and you did feel asleep on your own so you never asked for his house.
But Morpheus has been worried, he hadn't seen you for a while, Lucienne said they must be busy with College and they be in the dreaming tonight as its the weekend, but it's already half past eleven and Morpheus didn't want to wait anymore.
So he decided to visit into the real world and see how they been doing,
You ask Morpheus what was he doing here as he reached for your hand looking at you with worry in his eyes,
"I am worried about you my sparrow, I hadn't seen you in the dreaming for a while" you did always love how Morpheus always wants to make sure you are happy and make sure you are safe which always warmed your heart with love for him.
"Do not worry my love, I'm just having a little difficulty of sleeping but don't worry, I be fine" you say as you busy looking at your empty cup as Morpheus knew he need to help his darling, even when he knew they is going to be stubborn about having help,
"My sparrow, you want me to help-" "no Morpheus I don't need help, I can get to sleep without the sand" You answered while you began to clean your cup, but Morpheus held your wrist gently as he wrapped his other hand around your waist stopping you from cleaning,
"My Sparrow go to the bedroom, I'll make you something that will help you sleep" He gently say, you try to protest but he interrupted you "my dear, please let me help, you look absolutely tired" you knew that you can't win with him, as he has his way of making you cave in as you nodded your head,
He smiled softly as he kissed your hair as you reluctantly moved away from Morpheus, you asked what he was thinking of doing as he looked around the kitchen and found what he was looking for,
"well, I have heard that cinnamon tea is said to help you sleep, so I make that for you my Sparrow" you couldn't help but smile with glee as you hadn't had cinnamon tea for a while, you ask him to add a bit of honey in your tea as he hum in acknowledgement.
You sat up in your bed as Morpheus came with your Cinnamon tea with honey, you couldn't help but quickly take it out of his hands, he softly chuckled at the excitement of having the tea,
He went round the bed and sat next to you as you enjoyed your sweet delicious tea, "you know maybe I should ask you more often to help me sleep" you looked over towards your boyfriend and smiled, his eyes slightly lighten up as he kiss your check softly, you began to blush from that as he smirked before taking the cup from your hands and set it down on the table next to your side of the bed, leaning over you body.
With how the position was you're face began to grow bright red with the minute as sinful thoughts began to appear in your mind as Morpheus looks at you,
He looks at you like he knew what you were thinking but it quickly change when you suddenly yawn as you're eye became heavy, he chuckled as he brush your hair gently out of your face, "come on my Sparrow, time to sleep" Morpheus got out of the bed as he gently tuck you in the bed as you smiled as you dreamed of wonderful and sweet dreams.
He couldn't help but gently kiss your forehead "have sweet dreams my beautiful little sparrow" as he then went back to his kingdom to meet you there in the dreaming
