okay what do you say about reader whose favorite creation of morpheus is the corinthian because the two stretch so well, he makes her laugh, she makes him laugh and morpheus is just there such a haters to watch with jealousy and mathew next door desperate by the behavior of his king
😂😂😂 yesssss I love being besties with the Corinthian
You laughed, almost falling backwards in your chair. Your laughter echoed throughout the library. Corinthian seemed more amused by your reaction than the story he was telling you. You wiped away your tears, smiling widely at him. However, your smile and laughter brought a sour feeling to someone else: Dream. Your love’s face twisted into anger as he sat on the other end of the library. He was doing some light research yet all duties vanished when he saw the two of you. Now, he glared heavily at the pair of you, well more so Corinthian than yourself.
He should be pleased his creation and his love was getting along so well. In fact, you were able to curve Corinthian’s bloodlust. It truly was a win-win scenario. Yet, envy and jealousy bubbled in the Dream Lord’s chest. Only he should make you smile so brightly, only he should make you laugh so loudly.
His mood seemed to continue to worsen as he watched Corinthian dipped his head, whispering into your ear. You gasped then hid your smile and laughter behind your hands.
“You seem … agitated.”
Dream’s eyes flickered over to Matthew who swooped in.
“I am fine,” Dream gritted his teeth.
“Obviously,” Matthew sarcastically replied. Dream whipped his glare over to the raven. Matthew raised his wings and backed away a few steps. “Okay, okay, sorry.”
Lord and raven peered back over. You said something with wild hand gestures. Corinthian laughed, a loud boom.
“Darlin’, you are trouble,” he laughed again, shaking his head.
Dream’s lips thinned.
“Why not go talk with them?” Matthew suggested carefully.
“I’m fine,” Dream grumbled.
Clearly, the raven thought.
After a few more grueling minutes, and unwavering glaring from the Dream Lord, you stood up and waved goodbye at the Corinthian as you strolled over to Dream. Dream sat up straighter, wiping his glare and now keeping his face neutral. Yet, his heart fluttered as you approached.
You fell down in the chair beside him. “Hello, my dear king.”
Dream nodded, silently acknowledging you. His eyes flickered over to see the Corinthian had disappeared. “Why,” Dream cleared his throat, “why are you here?”
You raised an eyebrow at his unusual question. “I don’t understand, what do you mean?”
Dream squirmed slightly in his seat. “I thought you were spending time with Corinthian.”
You seem to rather enjoy his company, he bitterly thought.
You shrugged. “I was, but I want to spend some time with you.”
You tossed him an endearing smile, making Dream’s bitter heart crumble at the sight like a frozen lake cracking in the spring sun.
Matthew snickered, “Good, because -“
Dream whipped his head, once again glaring at the pesky raven. Matthew yelped then flew away.
You laughed, “Now, what was that about?”
“Nothing,” he quickly answered.
You hummed, leaning towards him. “You sure?”
“Absolutely.”
“If you say so.”
Corinthian leaned in. “Darlin’, I think a certain someone is burning a hole through my head.”
Your eyes flickered over to see Dream and his pout. You smiled, “Oh, I know. I see him.”
“And I think it might be your cue to leave.”
You chuckled. “Really? I have to go.”
“I don’t think he wants me.”
You laughed louder, shaking your head. “Alright, alright, I’ll go calm down the grumpy Dream Lord.”
“Good luck, darlin’.”
“Care to take a stroll through Fiddler’s Green, my king,” you asked.
Dream’s expression softened. A small smile danced on his lips. “I would be honored.”
You smiled and stood his hand, knowing this way your king will be a better mood shortly.

Aziraphale's bibles
Have you ever noticed how many bibles Aziraphale has just lying about? So. Many. Bibles. Oodles of bibles!
In S1 we only saw two, one on top of the desk that he used for checking the number of the beast in Revelations; and the other one on the desk surface, right behind his angel mug when he sat to read The Book (not that book, the other book, the one with the true prophecies).
In S2, we see no less than five bibles on his desk alone and more around the bookshop.
The first one is on the left, right under the little "For the Young: Hymns for Church and Home, with Forms of Services" book, which incidentally opens to: "So shall no wicked thing draw near,
To do us harm or cause us fear." (This angel has no shame).
Then there are three more in the desk's middle compartments. One, with a green cover, is on the left slot, right above the tray with pens (this one is a New Testament only).
The other two, both with black covers, are right behind the mug, where the RadioTimes watermark is. They look identical but they could be two volumes of the same edition or two different editions.
We can probably assume one of these is supposed to be the one from S1. The desk in S1 didn't have compartments, it had drawers so there were no books in that area.
The last one is the on on top of the desk, on the right. This would be the same he used in S1 (although the bible itself is different)
On his right side, sometimes he has an easel where he displays a large book. This is not a bible itself, but an illustrated book of biblical motifs. Sometimes it is closed and sometimes it is open.
He normally has it on the Adam and Eve page (cheeky!) but in Ep 2 he opened it to the Book of Job page instead.
There is yet another one in the shelf that Gabriel Jim is organizing
And there is one more in the first backroom (the one with the computer where he talks with Gabriel and Sandalphon). It is on a little table by the door of the private backroom (the one where he confers with Crowley in)
But there is a set of bibles that are even more important to him than any of the other ones. Although the show never mentioned it, the book tells us that in addition to his passion for prophecy books, he also loves and collects misprinted bibles*:
"And he had a complete set of the Infamous Bibles, individually named from errors in typesetting.
These Bibles included the Unrighteous Bible, so called from a printer’s error which caused it to proclaim, in I Corinthians, “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall inherit the Kingdom of God?”; and the Wicked Bible, printed by Barker and Lucas in 1632, in which the word not was omitted from the seventh commandment, making it “Thou shalt commit Adultery.” There were the Discharge Bible, the Treacle Bible, the Standing Fishes Bible, the Charing Cross Bible and the rest. Aziraphale had them all. Even the very rarest, a Bible published in 1651 by the London publishing firm of Bilton and Scaggs."
This collection of bibles is hiding in plain sight and readily on hand. Just ask Jim!
The rest are right there on Aziraphale's desk. The tags are hard to read but I found, from right to left, The Treacle Bible, The Discharge Bible, The Unrighteous Bible, then three that I couldn't decipher,
the Standing Fishes Bible and The Charing Cross Bible. One of those three is supposed to be the Buggre All This Bible, but none of the tags seemed to fit.
*All the bibles mentioned are real except for the Charing Cross Bible and the Buggre Alle This Bible which in the GO world was printed by Bilton and Scaggs, the publishing company that also printed The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. I have a whole post about Bilton and Scaggs if interested.
Now, looking back to S1, as part of his restoring the world, Adam replaced Aziraphale's misprinted bibles with Just William books. Let that sink in... Adam moved Aziraphale's bibles from their righteous place. No wonder Crowley realized it right away. These are Aziraphale's bibles for Go- for Sat- for Somebody's sake!
Fortunately by S2 everything was back to normal.
