Logan Croft celebrates Halloween in his dreams with… well, with someone he hadn’t expected.
But first, Logan learns his dreams seem to be making an impact on real life. At least… at least he’d thought it had only been a dream.
❤️💙October 28, 2024
Dreams begat dreams and, increasingly, Logan found himself readily drifting off to sleep each night, wondering what his imagination might weave for him that time. While he dreamed—and recalled his dreams—far more often than he was accustomed to, very few of his dreams carried the same clarity, the same weight as his dreams from the end of the Patton’s junior year.
His dreams at the start of Patton’s senior year only intensified.
In the end, he chalked it up to little more than processing his worries for his youngest son, because no matter what he’d dreamt, no matter how absurdly fantastical his imagined life could be, Patton was always, always there.
The impression of a smooth tri-braid band ghosted on the ring finger of his right hand.
Sometimes impossibly so.
Janus
So excited! @tsseventhub and @sanders-sides-events can you help us share so all Fander artists are sure to find out about the event?
The Big Lie, Ch. 15: A Stolen Bit of Softness
ALT(In the past) Princey gives Janus a new name. - WC: 1985
Prev - Chapter - Next - Masterpost - [ AO3 ]
Tried to walk together
But the night was growing dark
Thought you were beside me
But I reached and you were gone
Sometimes I hear you calling
From some lost and distant shore
I hear you crying softly
For the way it was before
- Song: Hymn for the Missing by Red
Blankets pulled up over his head, Janus couldn’t see the taunting glow of his clock as another minute ticked by. Not that he needed to see the time to know it must be well past midnight by now. Sighing, Janus rolled over.
If he stayed in bed, he could at least pretend he was trying to sleep. He could pretend he was simply having a bit of trouble relaxing from the day’s events to settle and drift off.
He could pretend he wasn’t desperately listening for any sign of what the others were doing. Of what Morality might be doing.
Late in the day, but it’s still technically Saturday. Chapter 15 is up on AO3!
The Big Lie, Ch. 8: We're All Stories in the Beginning
(In the past) The day night Janus met Remus - WC: 1532 - Story Rated M

"You're not made for my darkness
I know I get lost in the process
I do try but I'm hopeless
I know I'm not made in your likeness"
- Song: In Your Likeness by Woodkid
A muffled, distant wailing dragged Janus from sleep. Impossibly, it was the cry of a young child or an infant, like the bawling, red-faced creatures in the Tadpole room at Thomas’ church. Janus blinked dry eyes but remained where he was, curled comfortably under his covers, straining to better hear the strange sound. For several moments he imagined he was still dreaming.
The pounding on his door and Creativity’s panicked voice tore away that hope.
“Wake up!” he shouted through the door. The wailing cries grew louder and Creativity banged again. "Wake up, wake up, wake up! I need you!" he shouted over them.
Fueled by the urgency—and the fear—in Creativity’s voice, Janus leapt out of bed. He ran to the door and ripped it open.
Chapter 8 is now up on AO3 (and I can’t edit tags on Tumblr, but that’s beside the point XD)
The Big Lie, Ch. 3: Protection at Night
ALT(In the past) Protection patrols the Mindscape at night, looking after the others. - WC: 2433 - CW: fluff <3

"A thousand armies won't stop me
I'll break through
I'll soar the endless skies for only one sight of your starlight"
- Song: Starlight - Acoustic Version by STARSET
A plush new runner lined the floor of the upstairs hall, muting Protection’s footfalls as he patrolled the Mindscape.
The warm, dim glow of Heart’s nightlight spilled out from beneath his bedroom door, the only light on the second floor.
Not that Protection needed any light to see.
Nightfall’s shadow was completely in his control, an artifice he and Creativity had adopted in Thomas’ early years when bright Mindscape lights kept the tiny toddler’s brain active far past his designated bedtime. It was around the time Creativity and Curiosity were still experimenting, stretching and testing his creative abilities as they worked together to build a better version of the Sanders family home.
Chapter 3 is up on AO3!

oml I am so excited!!
Hey, remember when I promised y'all I would expand on what in the Mindscape would have to happen to Janus in order for him, the King of self-care and self-preservation, to allow Remus and Logan to become touch-starved?
Buckle up.
They’d been there since the beginning but needed Creativity to give them form.
To give them names.
Heart, the holder of their feelings, including their sense of what was right. And what was wrong.
Curiosity, the keeper and seeker of knowledge.
Protection, the one who to them safe from harm. And from punishment.
Over the years, their roles and their names would change, but they could never forget who they were, what they were meant to do. And what they meant to each other.
Psst… Protection might not be who you’d exssspect 💛.
