Description
This fanfic is about what would happen if Corrupted could control Dream, by grafting a negative personality onto his body, without affecting the golden apple. Nobody knows that Dream and Nightmare are brothers, and Corrupted decides to give Dream a second chance at being his brother again. Corrupted's mentality was twisted by the apple incident, but still wants Dream to stay with him. Corrupted is not the brother Dream once knew, he is controlling Nightmare's dead body, yet is haunted by memories of Dream. He was never a good person before he tried to kill Nim, so nobody ever loved him. This makes Nightmare's memories of Dream the first time Corrupted ever experienced love... not LOVE though... he has a lot of that. He was an EXP gatherer who killed for fun. Corrupted develops a sick longing for the memories Nightmare had with Dream, and creates Inverted to recreate those memories. Both Inverted and Corrupted are trying to take a sibling bond which was never theirs to begin with, and they are both aware that the other isn't really their 'brother'. Oh, this has no ships, almost forgot :)
