Summary
He’d almost forgotten the loyalty he’d once felt for the kings of old until he saw it reflected in the Waddle Dee's face. There was no doubt she’d lay her life down without question for his sake. With the fierce determination blazing in her eyes, like she did not know fear, she looked more like a fellow Star Warrior than anyone he’d met since he’d seen the last die in front of him.
To inspire such loyalty even now, when the stars were dying and every man was out for himself… King Dedede must have been an impressive man indeed. He’d heard rumours, of course- a beast with the audacity to name himself a king was enough to entertain those who had the time to care about such petty things, but when ships that went to raid his land of dreams never came back, that was news enough that it even reached the Halberd. Most were mocking, of course- a penguin who took on a Wanyan name and acted like royalty for holding onto a small slice of a nowhere planet was sure to be seen as insane.
But so was a Knight who claimed to remember the fairy-tale days of the star-children, who talked about honour and chivalry like they were anything but cruel jokes.

Summary
This time, you kiss back. It’s awkward, and chaste, and wonderful. Still, there’s something missing. You’ve read many stories about love, about the spark between people, a special feeling nothing can compare to. You’ve written many yourself. Yet, all you feel is the pleasant warmth of another’s body, the joy you feel around friends. No burning in your heart, no all-consuming desire. You love it, you love her, but not in the way you’re meant to.
Is that bad? That you’re enjoying this wrong? You’re not sure. Your only experience with this sort of thing is fiction (for surely what your brother and father did wouldn’t count), and you’re of course aware that there’s a lot of difference between books and real life. Maybe this was normal, and that was just an exaggeration, like how in fiction fathers loved their daughters.
You try not to worry about it.

the eternal game of cat and mouse by MasterRed
Fandoms: Sonic the Hedgehog (Video Games)
05 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
You know every interaction the two of you engage in is some sort of carefully constructed ritual of gaining superiority over the other; that’s not what confuses you. He pretends to not understand your inherently correct view of the world, where those who serve hold the real power behind the throne. Without a master, the servant remains; without a servant, the master is helpless. Being relied on is proof that you’re better than those who rely on you. Yet, when you express that here, he shows he knows. He’s an obedient thing, and that means he’s doing your job for you.
It’s beautifully infuriating. Your loathsome copy cannot be anywhere near your equal, but he’s cunning enough to make an entertaining foe. Oh, if only your game of cat and mouse could go on forever! That would be true bliss, but eventually a winner must emerge, even if their days afterwards would only be that of miserable longing. A murder can’t be done in half measures.
You’ve got plenty of time to play with your prey until then, though.

Summary
“I know you’re gonna be a goofy killjoy over this, so there’s my position. Go nuts for once! Do all the weird freaky sex shit you want to me, that sounds hot as hell. Or, like, order me to do weird shit, if you’re gonna be a prude. Maximum chaos! Let yourself be less of a killjoy freak when you’re not around those bozos and fuck me up real good, or at least fuck me, that sounds like a blast!”
“Like, sure, but what if-“
“What part of 'be less of a killjoy freak' was ambiguous? You can do aaaaaaanything you like to me, and I won’t judge you for whatever weird shit you’re into. Hell, the weirder it is, the better! I love freaks! Just not killjoys.”

Summary
“Chill out, won’t ya? We just wanted to give ya a fun surprise, after you’ve been so stressed out with this new world shit. You need to relax every once in a while, Meta.”
“And you being in my room is meant to relax me how, exactly?”
“Aww, c’mon, do I have ta spell it out- “
“We thought you’d enjoy having intercourse with both of us at once.”
“Ah.” Galaxia and Dedede were the two comrades-in-arms he was closest to, so that would make sense, and he did quite enjoy the more physical parts of service. “Indeed, that would make sense.”
Dedede blinked. “You two are like… creepy twins. Ya both speak like yer readin’ out of a fuckin’ technical manual when it comes to this shit. All like insert slot A into hole B, y’know. It’s kinda cute, honestly.”

Summary
“Are you stuck down here, too?” he asked. She shrugged. “I mean, I’m chained up for some reason. Can you free me?” She shook her head and growled, gesturing to herself and the chain. “Too strong?” No. “Too tired?” No. The unthinkable, then, had to be raised. “Did you… Dess, you didn’t bring me here, did you? Please say you didn’t do that.”
With the slightest amount of hesitation, she shook her head, averting her gaze. “Safe,” she mumbled, voice only barely comprehensible. “Safe here. If you stay.”

Summary
She could pretend that her Knight had fought out of love, not programming implanted into him with the improvements she granted him. She could pretend he didn’t bite and swear and scream as he lay restrained, ready to be perfected. She could pretend he didn’t just shut up because she’d threatened those brats and the upstart Dee she’d had captured. She could pretend he’d liked it when she’d touched his wings, the velvet skin on the membrane so impossibly soft, somehow whole and unscarred despite how much he’d mutilated those things trying to get free. She could pretend it was something other than shock stopping him from biting down when she’d kissed him, just before the Mother Computer had started to turn his fragile flesh into superior machinery.
She could pretend he didn’t hate her now.
(Maybe she could only be loved when she forced things to love her, through wires and code.)

Summary
“See, look, it’s fine. I’m not here to hurt you, Tommy.” There was something new about Dream’s voice, something that sent a chill down Tommy’s spine colder than any cell could ever be. There was a weakness to it, one that seemed foreign. His voice was hoarse, his tone quiet in the way of a sick man, not a manipulative one. And he was desperate, Tommy could tell that alone from his tone. He’d always been desperate; it leaked into every word he said, no matter how hard he tried to mask it, but the sheer lack of effort in hiding it felt wrong. “I don’t- I don’t want to have to hurt you. I still have some affairs I need to put in order, y’know, before we leave, and then we can be a real family like I’ve always wanted. And I won’t leave you, not like Wilbur, I’m- I’m-“ Dream awkwardly trailed off. Now, that was strange, too. Dream always had these big speeches planned when he fucked with him. He was never this unsure.
“It’s just three weeks, okay? Three weeks.”

Summary
"Aww, c'mon, I know how much you love talking when you can! I remember when you were trying to kill us, talking about your robot kingdom…" She left out the parts she remembered the most- the madness, the anger hiding despair, him admitting to his own fear. Those were things he didn't want them to see, even though she was pretty sure even Cream could pick up on it.
This seemed to produce a response- the third thing she'd found that made him so much as twitch, after the television and the one time she'd talked to him about her Bat Mitzvah when she had no idea what else to even bring up. His movements were delayed (from the damage to his body or remaining reluctance, she couldn't say) and his hands jerky, but he propped himself up and grabbed the notebook and pen so hard she feared he might break them.
Slowly, he wrote a reply, pressing the pen down harshly enough it bled into the pages beneath it. When he held it out, the words were in shaky block caps, and Amy got the sense he'd never written something without a keyboard in his life. "MY HAPPINESS IS IRRELEVANT. I SERVE MY PURPOSE."

Summary
Your body is not your own.
That's the first thing you learned, before you'd even understood the hate written into every line of your code and the fear that shouldn’t have been there but was anyway. You'd awoke half finished, your optical screen still not properly attached to your chassis and a drill to your hip. Your code threw error message after error message at the intrusion, and every instinct you'd had programmed told you to run, run, run.

Tommy Has Literally The Worst “Birthday” Party That’s It That Is The Fic by MasterRed

A party was not one of them.

Or, the worst not-even-a-birthday party ever, and how Tommy and Punz bond over how fucking weird Dream can be at times.

Summary
“You know what, Tommy?” Dream’s voice had shifted to a honey-sweet tone. “I have actually thought of something I could do with both of you alive. So, y’know what, I’m going to be nice! Which I really shouldn’t be, considering you’ve killed me, but I kinda admire the boldness of that. Just one small thing. I need you to kill Tubbo first.”
“What?” Tommy blinked, more confused than anything at the contradiction.
“Oh, nothing permanent. We’ll bring him back straight away, but neither of you will die again. You’ll be our way of testing the prolonged effects of revival, you see.”
“Dream, we have each other for that.” There was a note of desperation in Punz’s voice that, even in his dazed state, Tommy could not ignore. “We’ve revived each other-“
“Yeah, yeah, but we’re dying all the time. What if there’s effects, like, months after we don’t know about because of that! Besides, aren’t you lonely when I’m gone? If I keep Tommy, and you keep the ram, we’ll always have someone to talk to then.”

tell me what you need (what you want, you don’t need to plead) by MasterRed
Fandoms: Neon Genesis Evangelion

Summary
In plain glasses, dark liquid sits on both sides of the table. A drink of some sort, though the smell she couldn't recognise consciously. She vaguely remembers something similar on Commander Ikari's breath, in the first few months of her life, but that period is a blur of snapshot memories where the camera always was just a little out of focus. Alcohol of some kind, she'd presume. She'd read about it, but her life being limited to NERV headquarters, school, her apartment, and Commander Ikari's bed meant she'd never actually seen the thing.
Commander Ikari sits opposite her, deep blue eyes like the sky in the liminal space between night and day, peering down at her through his glasses. He doesn't look at anything else like that. "Have a drink."

bite my lip and pull my hair as you tell me i'm the fairest of the fair by MasterRed
Fandoms: Neon Genesis Evangelion

Summary
Rei Ayanami’s life was a series of red.
Red on the sheets. Red in her mouth. Red, the colour of sensitive flesh, the colour of melding into one. Red on the floor of her shower. Red marks. Red turtlenecks, lying on the floor. Red-stained soap. Red eyes, staring at her in the mirror as she brushes her teeth to get the taste out of her mouth, that belong to a girl she is not.

Or, Rei's thoughts on her abuse at the hands of her father, and on Shinji Ikari, the boy who reminds her so much of him.

Summary
The loops always started the same.
Wake up. Assess the environment. Check who he'd rolled with him first- always a good start when Tommy's there initially. Stall for time until Tommy arrived, playing whatever role he’d been assigned.
At first, the repetitiveness was comforting. Then, boredom set in. For a period of time between the six millionth, nine hundredth thousand and eightieth loop and the six millionth, nine hundred and twelve thousand and fifty-fifth loop- he took careful notes in the time between time- he had fallen into listless insanity. That was five trillion, eighteen billion, five hundred and nine resets ago.
By now, he considered it his tutorial.

Or, c!Dream copes with being trapped in an eternal time loop by growing to see it as a game, people merely pawns, and c!Tommy very special indeed.

An anthology for the short prompts for the November of 2023 on r/fanfiction, revolving around short character studies.

More detailed descriptions and warnings in each stories description, tags are just generally what to expect.

god returned with a moth chained to his hand (there’s so many things that you'll never understand) by MasterRed
Fandoms: Dream SMP
03 Aug 2023

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.

Summary
Even in his sleep, Tommy was never at peace.
Curled up against the dark walls of his bunker, he hugged the old viridian cloak from his exile close to him in lieu of a blanket, shivering. He thrashed violently, kicking out and whimpering as if he was fighting an invisible enemy in his dreams. At times, he screamed, at others, he sobbed violently, but wracked with exhaustion and self-medicated by the potions he took in excess, he was unable to wake even despite the evident distress he was in.
It’d be a stretch for Dream to say he felt guilty, exactly. He had to admit, it was an amusing sight, and it warmed his heart to see him keeping the cloak he’d given him in exile. Seeing him desperately swaddle himself in it to stymie the screaming fits he’d had trying to sleep before was a mix of satisfying and sweet, and the fact it worked was utterly adorable- the little brat still cared about him deep down, he supposed. He could still be saved.
——
Or, while watching Tommy from the walls, Dream finds him asleep, and it makes him ruminate on his Big Happy Family. Prompt was “Sleep”
