#dream then attempts to carry wilbur out of the ravine

[supernovaa-remnant]

Mblglbkhkmbb dream squashing wils cheeks gently and kissing the top of his fluffy hair head. Will was feeling down so he was shuffling around the place with his head down and posture like an old walking cane, that's how Dream could reach his head

(takes place in the same universe as this post where there was no l'manburg war)

"he doesn't love me anymore!" wilbur wails in a dramatic fashion.

he buries his face in his hands, and, for a moment, all that can be heard are his muffled sobs echoing around the cavern.

"wil, not that this isn't, uh, important, but you kinda told me this was a life or death emergency involving a tyrannical government," techno says.

wilbur's head shoots up as he looks at techno as though the blood god had personally gone and murdered his entire family. which, considering techno is best friends with the brunet's dad, would never happen, but the analogy works well enough.

"you don't understand, techno! it is life or death, and it's all because of schlatt! he definitely counts as a tyrannical government for what he's done to me." a look of annoyance passes over wilbur's face, momentarily halting his sobs.

"so... you're upset... because dream had to cancel one of your cuddle sessions to talk politics with schlatt? and you've been in this ravine ever since?"

"exactly!"

techno stares unimpressed at wilbur's display, raising an eyebrow and crossing his arms. they have a brief stare off before wilbur decides he wasn't done with the theatrics and promptly bursts into tears again.

chat seems to be amused by the display, but techno, having spent years around wilbur through many stages of his life, figures it's best to just let this run its course. he occupies the time by looking around the ravine and crinkling his nose as he sees the state wilbur has been living in. the ravine is cold and damp, and the scraps of wool on the ground where wilbur has been sleeping do nothing to ease the concern building within techno.

ignoring chat cooing at his concern, techno spares one more look to wilbur, who has now begun to recite a monologue about abandonment as he leans himself against the stone walls.

"yeah, I'm gonna go get dream."

wilbur doesn't even look up when techno begins ascending the steps.

~*~*~*~*~

when techno showed up at the community house during what sapnap had dubbed "dream team hours," dream wasn't expecting to get pulled away to where wilbur had disappeared to. but with both sapnap and george urging him to go—

("dude you've been hanging out with us non-stop for days. go make sure he's okay." "dream stop being an idiot. you've been interrupting all of our sleep with how much you pace around at night in worry. leave before we get dragged into another almost-war.")

—combined with the hint of concern in techno's voice, it really wasn't surprising that he found himself in a ravine, watching wilbur pace around with his head drooped downward and his arms holding himself in a mockery of a hug.

"wil?" dream calls out softly, recognizing the way wilbur's fingers curl into his arms as a sign of his anxiety. "can I touch you?"

wilbur mutters out a quiet but audible yes, and dream wastes no time in closing the distance between them. he brings his hands up and softly cups wilbur's face in his palms squishing them ever so slightly and grinning when the action makes wilbur's dark eyes light up with hints of amusement. then, dream leans up and places a soft kiss atop wilbur's head, smiling softly into the fluffy hair.

"you scared me," dream says as he gently moves wilbur's head into the crook of his neck.

"I know," wilbur mumbles, wrapping his arms around dream's waist.

"you can't just run off like that without telling people."

"I know. I'm sorry."

dream sighs, tilting his head to nuzzle his face in wilbur's curls. "I'm sorry, too. I should've rescheduled with schlatt instead of backing out of an already made commitment."

"so we both fucked up," wilbur says, chuckling slightly, but dream can still feel the slight shakes caused by the brunet's anxiety.

"not the end of the world," dream reassures, and he feels some of the tension drain from wilbur's shoulders. "how about we go find a nice place to cuddle, then we can maybe make some pizza."

wilbur hums, and dream holds back a laugh as the vibrations tickle his skin. "can we go somewhere quiet?"

"anywhere you'd like, wil. anywhere you'd like."

yall really liked this art so figured i should explain more about my buttonduo role swap au! some basic plot here and i might do more posts later on <3

Generally the au is that everything throughout the L'manburg revolution is the same as canon. Declaration of Independance, Eret building the walls Wilbur designed, drug van, etc.

everything except the original betrayal.

During the final battle, wilbur calls for ceasefire and approaches dream asking to talk

Eret knocks an arrow into their bow, hoping to strike Dream in the moment, but before they can raise it Wilbur waves the white flag.

L'manburg surrenders completely

Tommy, Tubbo, Fundy, and Eret are taken into custody. Dream states that Wilbur does not need to be arrested, as it's only due to his willing cooperation this rebellion could be put down.

A trial is held, with all L'manburgians declared guilty of sedition and treason. Eret is also tried for attempted assassination of a head of state, and for attempting to overthrow the government. Dream tacks on more crimes for Eret, as Wilbur asks for leniency to the kids.

Wilbur declares the executions and make the final call to carry them out. The rest of L'manburg respawns inside the van, feeling like they saw something waiting for them. Tubbo calls it oblivion. Eret thinks it's not as complete or final as oblivion, but an in-between or limbo state.

Either way, something is lost and taken away after their deaths. Dream calls it a "price to pay", Wilbur claims "this is always how it would end."

Wilbur is crowned king of the SMP, having met his end of the deal. "Why just be a president, when you could be king?"

Angry, betrayed and royally pissed off, the rest of L'manburg (now with niki and jack manifold) arrange a meeting to make a deal for the land of L'manburg to still be independent.

The deal is less than ideal, with L'manburg still being under SMP rule and following SMP laws as a requirement for them to host their own elections. effectively, a territory instead of a free nation of their own right.

Elections are still held but this time for a governor, everyone suspects Dream will not allow the elections to happen fairly.

Tommy doesn't run because he's still pissed off at Wilbur, especially when Wilbur suggests that he should.

Coconut2020 still runs, Fundy hoping to carry out the dream his father abandoned.

George still misses the event so Quackity calls in Schlatt, at Dream's recommendation, and the votes suspiciously all go to Schlatt. Especially when Wilbur endorses Coconut2020, and not him.

Schlatt decides later, after a key meeting with Wilbur and Dream, to still revoke citizenship of Tommy and this time Eret for their vocal dissent. The pair are banished from L'manburg as they are not citizens of the territory anymore.

Wilbur asks Tommy to stay in the castle with him instead, as we can pull some strings to keep his SMP citizenship. Even though Tommy adamantly says no, Eret convinces him to as it would be safer then following them.

Refusing to stay in SMP lands as they're still marked a traitor and could easily be arrested again for any petty reason, Eret vanishes into the woods and stumbles upon a ravine carving it's way underground.

Niki and Fundy continue to make a fight in L'manburg, despite Wilbur urging Fundy to drop it. Schlatt targets Niki again because of her outspoken behavior, even more so than in canon. The pair also smuggle supplies out to Eret by meeting them somewhere away from the ravine and the rest of the main server.

No one except Eret sees where they are now hiding, until Eret remembers only one thing they saw after their execution: They have an old friend they can always call on. They send out a /msg.
