#hunter!dream

Ngl, I think he never let him braid his hair until, their first aftercare.

I think vamp!Techno likes cuddles for his aftercare, and Dream is service all the way through, so, they'd cuddle, and Techno would simply ask if he could braid Dream's hair.

•renowned “man hunter” hired to take care of a supposed giant

•plot twist bitch they’re HUGE and there’s more than one

•BBH, Sap, and George as giants btw

•dream is overtly cocky and doesn’t do any research, so mans runs into this expecting someone like 7 ft tall

•honey no they’re like easily 70 feet tall (maybe taller)

•he goes into attack them blindly, tracking the camp from the smoke he can see, stumbling on their camp and freaking tf out at the sight of three giants surrounding a gigantic fire

•they surround him and are angry as they see his weapons and everything, but Bad sees how terrified the little muffin looks and tries to reassure him

•it doesn’t work

•as he reaches forward to try to gently soothe him, Dream attacks

•the blade is netherite and enchanted, and Bad pulls his hand away with a hiss

•Sap and George try to get him too but he’s able to get a few more hits in and it’s kind of impressive honestly. But he eventually gets snatched up by Sap. He looks PISSED.

•Dream is panicking but he deflects with some snark and he gets squeezed a bit too tight

•normally this would be a huge no-no for the giants, and Bad would usually stop Sap from going to the extent of physical harm, but he’s off with George now tending to their surprisingly deep wounds

•Dream bites at the hand around him enough to be able to quickly shift and grab his sword, stabbing the hand around him harshly

•he gets dropped and lands badly on his ankle, letting out a pained gasp but he doesn’t have time to focus on that. He uses the adrenaline to keep him going and ignore the pain, managing to get away from the giants and hide in a nearby cave

•it’s not until then that he realizes that his sword is gone, so the giants must still have it

•all he has for now is his stone axe to defend himself and there are three angry giants looking for the man

Rundas - God of the hunt and of good fortune. (old and only god of the Manhunt World) (Hittie mythology)

- Double/twin eagles with a hare in each talon. Representation of the two versions of Dream in Manhunt - Hunter and Hunted. Manhunt World is two worlds, parallel to each other.

- Hunter!Dream - eagle is a representation of him as he hunts the hares (hunted).

- Hunted!Dream - hare is a representation of him as he is hunted by eagles (hunters)

No permadeath in the Manhunt Worlds. Old God's favor is gained by the hunting and killing of the hunted by the hunter as well as the cunningness/survivability of the hunted as they attempt to get away. Yet the Old God may also offer good fortune to the hunter/hunted as he sees fit to make the hunt more interesting/intense. (clutch plays, clutch items, surviving against all odds etc)

If a hunted/hunter is killed, they respawns after a couple of days in limbo.

Use of Huwasi stones. Used to pray for extra favor from the Old God. (Emeralds/Diamonds/Gold often used as the stone and placed in makeshift shrines)

-

The world itself is divided by a giant canyon. Hunter(s) on one side and Hunted on the other. It is not a constant hunt situation.

The Old God signals the start of the hunt - similar to Hircine's Wild Hunt in Skyrim. (Blood Moon signals the start of the hunt and it ends when the hunted kill the dragon or the hunter(s) kills the hunted)

- Hunter!Dream lives in a cabin in a large spruce forest. He has a cat and basic weapons. (Nothing past stone is permitted in the world. Old God will take them)

I think if Techno ever encounters that kind of situation, would only happen if Dream was dying.

A time where a hunt goes wrong and Techno finds Dream loosing a lot of blood, in my AU, vampires transform others by almost draining all of their blood and then feeding them their own, that's how Kristin did it with Techno, Wil and Tommy.

Dream, even then, would try to refuse. But what can a human who's about to die do against a vampire?

So Techno bites him and gives him his blood, Dream drinks it by instinct of liquid falling down his throat. He takes his wrist away from Dream's lips and then he just, waits...

Dream's wound stops bleeding and his skin pales and his heart stops, Techno knows that's meant to happen, but he waits, he has to. The venom has to run through his body. So he waits... and waits... Until Dream wakes up and is confused, and angry, and generally upset, he was supposed to die, and he technically is dead, but not the way he was supposed to.

He'd have to suck it up and learn how to live with his new immortality. But definitely would blame Techno for a while, they'd talk and fix things before Dream returns home with Techno.

He wouldn't want to kill him, that far into their relationship he'd try everything in his power to guide Dream through his transformation and his new life. Dream would hate it very much, he's hungry all the time, but he can't eat the meals he loves without throwing up, so at the beginning Techno gave him some of his blood, Dream then hunted animals, but the coven knows that kind of blood can't satisfy a nestling.

Dream doesn't like the idea of killing people to feed, sure, he'd be paid to kill humans before, but he never ate them, well, drink their blood.

Ohhhh

This…

So, I think Vampire!Techno would definitely want to turn Hunter!Dream.

He’s interested in the hunter and once he realizes it might be more than just obsession because it’s the only mortal who can stand a chance fighting him. Dream cares for him even if he says he doesn’t, Techno loves being able to feel the warmth that comes from him, his heartbeat is relaxing.

But its mortal, Dream will die sooner or later, he doesn’t want that to happen. But Dream doesn’t want to be turned into a vampire.
