If your not interested I can understand, either way hope you have a great day

thank you for the fic recommendation! i didn't expect that but i found the premise intriguing and i do wanna see Nightmare and Classic interact so i definitely will be checking it out

as for your "how the fuck did dream end up in a polycule with classic and error" question… i don't really have a good answer, honestly. really, it's because i like both dream/error and classic/error so in a feat of genius intellect i decided to combine the two. and now i have to figure out the logistics of it

(please keep in mind that i was in ut fandom too many years ago and don't remember much of Dream's and Error's lore so i'm just making up shit on the fly, i hope i don't mischacterterize them too much)

so… my best theory is that Classic and Error bonded (i like your idea of Classic not thinking of Error as a threat whatsoever and i think it would be pretty refreshing for Error) and feelings started to slowly creep in. at least, it was that way for Classic — his attachment and affection for Error grew slowly, gradually, over time. Error got hit with The Feels like a moving truck. so it creates a Molotov Cocktail of feelings: mixture of trust, attachment, maybe obsession, desire for one's attention or closure, ungodly amounts of stress and frustrations because "oh shit not the horror of vulnerability and being known".

Dream notices this. decides to take a closer look (read: spy on him). learns who Error took a liking for. thought about it. wisely decided to not tell anyone and instead befriend classic and try, through him, to reach Error. maybe this way he could finally get Error to chill with the destruction of AUs? people do tend to listen better to people they like and are close with. besides, getting closer with Error *could* help with understanding why he does what he does and what lead to it which could help in convincing him.

cut to Dream slowly befriending Classic, Classic being kinda surprised and wary but mostly chill — he doesn't mind Dream's company and finds it very pleasant, actually, but does wonder how it's connected to Error's attention to him. and then Error finds out and freaks out (justifiably so). aaand i don't know how Dream is gonna explain this to Error. i don't want him to lie (it feels very wrong for some reason), so maybe he said something along the lines of "i want to see who it is that managed to become the cause of such a drastic increase of positivity from you". Error isn't convinced at all, but curiousity *is* a part of Dream's motives so it kinda works as an excuse. Classic just shrugs and doesn't take Error's suspicion and paranoia too seriously. Dream is a protector of positivity, after all. how much harm could he do?

halfway through Dream forgets about the initial goal because he actually bonded with Classic really well (i came up with an idea that Dream enjoys telling stories (or talking about stories that he heard of/read) a lot and Classic enjoyed talking about stars a lot, so they nerd out and are great listeners to each other). ironically, that was the reason he got so close to his goal. he became close with Classic and through that he became close with Error too. cut both of them realizing that they're falling for each other and the horror that comes with it. Classic has already figured it out and just watches the whole thing go down. he hadn't felt this entertained in *years*

and that's it. i think i could've done a better job here but ehh i don't feel like re-thinking this one more time and trying to come up with something more smooth. i hope you like this 👉👈

i got hard read i see
