Summary
Tommy knows stories — raised on them, lulled to sleep by his parents’ voices beneath the soft glow of his nightlight — and so, he knows how his story ought to end. He is meant to labor until his bones splinter beneath the weight of years, his knees stiff with age, his eyes clouded with cataracts. He is meant to serve as Dream’s soldier boy, loyal as a hound, blood-bound until the master falls — and perhaps even beyond the grave. He is meant to fade into some tired little ending, a boy-shaped shadow lowered nameless into a coffin draped in withered garlands. He is meant to tick down, second by second, toward silence.
Instead, he stands here, his heart cupped in warm, gentle hands. A heart pink and small and cherished, cradled as though it were something precious. Loved. And the story does not begin with a coronation or a kiss beneath moonlight, no. It begins with blood on the floor of a warehouse.
That, at the very least, is normal.
Or: Every other Age Reveal Fic but with a ridiculous amount of cosmic imagery and italics.
