Summary
“You misunderstand me,” says Dream, setting his clipboard deliberately aside. “What I meant is, I'm the next test subject. Why rely on secondary sources of information when you can have a primary source, right?”
The eyeholes in the mask are just wide enough for Punz to tell he’s being watched carefully.
“You’re going to kill me,” Dream says with a kind of absolute confidence that would have frightened a lesser man, “and then you’re going to bring me back.”
___________________
Punz and Dream traumatize each other, perfect their grilled cheese recipe, and co-navigate the inherent eroticism of killing and resurrecting each other repeatedly for reasons of scientific inquiry.Series

Summary
When Dream slays a dragon, it's nothing personal. He's just trying to provide for his adventuring party: get enough food to last through the winter and neutralize a hostile enemy in the process. It should be simple, right? He certainly doesn't expect the dragon to use its dying breath to curse him. Now he's a dragon too, thanks to eating cursed dragon flesh - and the only way to reverse the spell is to do a favor for the Ender Dragon, a mythical beast who rules a dimension beyond the bounds of reality. The journey to the End is long and arduous, but Dream has no choice. Along the way, he meets a warrior, a crow, a jailer, a ghost, and a prince.

Summary
Quackity smiles mirthfully, shrugging off his jacket. “Yeah, yeah, I know. Gentlemen prefer blondes, right?”
Sam pauses. “I don't— What do you mean? I’ve never dated a blonde.”
“No need to get all tense, man.” Quackity eyes him with carefully-crafted disinterest. “It’s just a turn of phrase.”

1. The often disturbed reaction to a threatened breakdown in meaning caused by the loss of the distinction between the self and the other.

4. A place where meaning collapses.

The prison they built together comes alive in a dangerously literal way. Pandora’s Vault breathes and hungers. Canon-compliant through nearly all of the imprisonment arc, branches off into canon divergence between Techno’s visit/escape and the jailbreak stream.

Summary
This is where I'm sticking all my (technically) canon-compliant* DSMP fics!
*Please note: these stories were all canon-compliant when they were written and published, but some might now be canon-divergent due to the serial format of DSMP content.

Summary
It was an accident, but Dave figures that’s probably what all murderers have to tell themselves.
Bro chokes on the end of his own sword, the blade gone straight through his throat.
_____________________Dave wakes up again.
Again? Obviously again. He’s woken up every morning of his life before this one, hasn’t he? What a weird thing to think.Bookmarked by swordfright

Summary
At 28, John Rich is the youngest cover artist in the illustrious history of The New York Review. This means that, every week, he draws a portrait of some notable person and this portrait becomes the cover of this very prestigious magazine. But when John is tasked with drawing the supposedly vapid (and obviously gorgeous) action movie star, Tyler Hughes, he discovers that Tyler is the one person he cannot draw. Feel good, adorable, and extremely funny, think of this as season 1 of your new favorite comedy.

Summary
Dirk summons a demon for the exclusive purpose of 'cathartic boning.' He gets what he wants.
NOTE: This fic is ergodic (think House of Leaves), which means it cannot be downloaded for offline perusal on your kindle/pdf reader. Also has CYOA elements, so clicking “Entire Work” will make the fic impossible to read.
