After Dreaming of Daddy Every Night

* A gentle, manipulative daddy-type guides and raises a well-behaved yet wild android kitty. A story about someone trying to drag his older brother into dreams and make a move, only to end up offering himself and getting thoroughly devoured. Set in an alternate modern fantasy world.

* The dream scenes begin in Chapter 5.

Wen Ling had a hard life. Even his own blood relatives feared and despised him. Yan Qinghui rescued him, kept him by his side, and taught him how to be a person.

Yan Qinghui was Wen Ling's older brother, his god.

His god praised him gently. "Good boy."

So Wen Ling really did sheathe the claws he needed to survive, becoming an obedient house cat.

But his admiration turned into something else. In secret, he bared his fangs and pulled his brother into dreams of his own making, night after night.

Drawing close, testing the waters, embracing, kissing... He worked hard to "learn," seducing his brother with clumsy boldness.

By day, he was still his brother's good boy.

Until one day, Wen Ling blurred the line at last and rose onto his toes to kiss Yan Qinghui outside the dream.

He came to his senses in an instant. I'm done for.

His brother, who should have known nothing, merely lowered his eyes to Wen Ling, gaze deep and voice laced with laughter.

"Weren't you so bold in your dreams?"

"You've stolen so many kisses, and you still haven't improved at all."

"...A naughty kitten needs her big brother to teach her a proper lesson, doesn't she?"

Yan Qinghui had a rare moment of compassion and brought home a wounded eaglet.

He patiently raised it, taught and protected it, waiting for its wings to grow strong enough to soar freely wherever it pleased.

...Instead, the eaglet repaid him by secretly enchanting him, slipping into his dreams every night to tease him with innocent, bashful advances, always pushing for more.

Yan Qinghui's brow twitched. He gave a soft laugh.

All right. So you're good at flirting.

Then your big brother will teach you firsthand what it means to play with fire and get burned.

Yan Qinghui was no god, of course. He was a ghost thirsting for sweet rain.

He shed the skin called "big brother." His fangs began to itch, and he set out to lure his eaglet into his trap.

*

He wagered everything, hoping to profane a god.

But the god was the hunter.
