[Nightmare]
Hey y'all! This is my first fic in the Dream SMP fandom! This will probably flop since I'm not quite sure on tagging and how to make that work for this fandom and 2) there's no romantic relationships in it, but I've been binging the SMP lately, and I couldn't get this earworm of an idea out of my head. :)
DISCLAIMER: This is strictly involving their SMP personas (roleplay) and not a fanfic including their actual, human persons. There's a lot of emphasis put on emotional manipulation and a bit of body horror in this, and the manipulative relationship is seen as a positive one.
Summary:Tommy has a nightmare while in hiding from Dream. Disoriented and confused, he panics. Techno doesn't really know how to help comfort him, but he does his best.
-----
Tommy could feel his fingernails dig into the soft skin of his hands. He let the pain ground him in the moment. Somewhere in the distance, Tubbo was screaming. He strained to hear the other boy, but he just couldn’t make out what he was saying. It was too muffled.
It was so cold, the chill seeping into his skin. Tommy wrapped his arms around himself, looking around nervously.
In front of him stood a hunched and broken figure, shoulders sagging and head lolling gently to the side. On its face was a gruesome slash of a smile, stretching from one cheek to another and dripping sluggishly with blood. Even as Tommy watched, the figure stuck one finger in his mouth and pulled, the skin of his cheeks ripping and parting the bloody grin as it stared at him. Its eyes were lifeless and dark.
“What’s wrong, Tommy?” the creature hissed at him, shambling closer. One of its shoes was missing, and its head twitched slightly as it spoke.
Tommy tripped over his own feet in his hurry to get away from it, his scream catching in his throat. All that came out was a tiny whimper. He felt the bite of hard stone underneath his palms, and the sharp blossom of pain that followed it.
“Tommy…” the creature sang in a low voice. It sounded tired. “Tommy, you know you can’t run from me. You know it’s better to just give in, right, Tommy?”
Tommy shook his head back and forth, as if to clear the ringing from his ears. He could hear his heartbeat thumping wildly.

Dream’s New Roommate
whoopsie, forgot to post this when I wrote it. Oh well, I’ll do it now!
Summary: (Minor kinda-not-really spoilers for Feb 2nd Ranboo Lore Stream) What if they did find the fourth book before Ranboo did? Well, he said it himself... Dream would have a new roommate.
Word Count: 1,160

The final gate shut with the smooth clicking of redstone, somehow louder than the harsh clang and rattle of iron bars. A sense of finality filled the air as the lava dripped down… down… down…
The skin of his wrists was already buzzing lightly, the weight of the chains around him dragging them down. Ranboo reached up and brushed some of his hair out of his eyes, worrying at his lower lip. Heat crackled in the air, the obsidian beneath his feet hot to the touch.
Staring at the man across from him, everything began to set in. He was really here, he hadn’t been able to stop himself in time, they had caught him. It was inevitable, really. He was a bad liar (getting better!) and when you only have control of yourself half of the time, you’re bound to do some things you regret during the other half.
Dream didn’t even turn to look at him. “So, they’ve finally found you out then, huh?” His dirty blonde hair looked longer than Ranboo had ever remembered seeing it, the greasy locks reaching down to around his shoulders.
Ranboo said nothing, twiddling his thumbs and listening to the light clink of his chains.
“Oh come on, nothing? Not even a laugh for your old friend?” Dream’s tone had turned taunting, a mockery of kindness. “You’re really that butthurt?”
“We are not friends,” Ranboo replied, hoping the bite of his tone was enough to shut Dream up. “I- I- I might not remember everything I’ve ever done, but I do know that I would never be friends with someone like you.”
A harsh wheezing filled the air, sickeningly choked laughter. Dream’s shoulders were shaking. “It’s cute that you think you believe that, Ranboo.”

Y’all this thing was so cute and if you don’t read it you’re missing outttttttt
A Fog of Green
Soulmate September Day 4 - There is a trail of colour only you can see that marks out where your soulmate has been.
Pairings: Intrulogical, very minor anxceit (it’s mentioned in like two paragraphs at the very end
Warnings: blink and you’ll miss it self deprecation, talk of blood, gore, death (generally just Remus being Remus)
Notes: you can read Intrulogical as romantic or queer-platonic. I like to think of them as QPP’s, but there is talk of proposing at the end and I’m not sure if QPP’s get married?

Logan sighed, checking his watch for what must have been the seventh time in the past minute. If Patton has been in his position, he may have said Logan was checking his watch for the thousandth time, but he wasn’t, and Logan was not one for hyperboles.

Ginger’s DSMP Fic Compilation Post
Hi everyone!! I’ve been a part of the DSMP fandom for a little bit now, and I figured I’m long past due to drop my full list of linked DSMP fics, since that’s primarily what I’m writing these days. These are all based on the characters from the roleplay, not the content creators, and are going to be organized here by their main characters and relationships for convenience. I’ll update this post when I post something new. Enjoy!! :)
Tommy-centric fics
[Nightmare] - The first SMP fic I wrote, revolving around the nightmares Tommy has while on the run from Dream, at Techno’s base. Set during the exile arc. 1k words.
Favor - Second work in the Tommy-centric series, my re-imagination of the scene where Techno steps in and defends Tommy from Dream... unless he wants to cash in his favor. Protective Techno and found family vibes, as well as a cute ending. 2.5k words.
Trust - Same universe as the two previous, Techno POV as he reflects on Tommy’s “betrayal” and what the younger boy means to him. Set right before doomsday. 1k words.
Anything You Can Do (He Can Do Better) - The fourth work in this series, Tommy angst revolving around the destruction of L’Manberg and his thoughts on Techno and his new replacement. Clingyduo comfort at the end to make up for the hurt. 2k words.
Seven Days Till Sunlight - The last work in this series, set during the seven days Tommy spent in prison with Dream, a chapter a day. A different end for Tommy where he got to grow as a person and come out of that week stronger and more confidant as opposed to... dead. Dream is not seen as a sympathetic character, merely a complex one. 8.5k words.
Over and Over - Not the same series as the previous fics, centered around the idea that Dream killed/brought Tommy back from the void over and over and over again to talk with Wilbur. Dream is very manipulative and unsympathetic, lots of angst. 1.25k words.
Molasses - My second nickel of “Dream kills Tommy and revives him over and over” fics, this time set after Dream’s escape from prison. Happy ending with Phil! 1.8k words.
SBI fics my beloved
Close the Door - Techno returns to his family after a long week of travel (with presents!) to find that they’ve attempted to cook him dinner. All comfort and fluff, no hurt. Wilbur is still Ghostbur in this and they all love each other, even if they’re a bit hesitant to admit it. 1.75k words.
Beating Heart - Phil-centric fic exploring the reasoning behind why he only has one life on the SMP, as well as his relationships with other people, time, and death herself. 4k words.
Misc Works involving Ranboo, Bee Duo, Bench Trio, etc
Dream’s New Roommate - Set back when Ranboo first told us about the fourth memory book, assumes he got found out to be helping Dream. A little back and forth between Ranboo and Dream as they’re both trapped in the prison. 1k words.
Peaceful Commune - The syndicate is paying Tubbo a visit and he’s nowhere near prepared enough for that, mentally or physically. Tubbo POV with defensive Beeduo parents and Michael. Little bit of angst, little bit of fluff. 2.5k words.
Dinner Guest - Tubbo and Ranboo are having Tommy over for dinner for the first time since Dream killed him in prison, and they’re incredibly nervous about it. Michael is probably the best part of this work, but it’s a little fun, a little fluffy, and that sweet, sweet found family dynamic. 4k words.
