Summary
On the day Philip Wittebane is born, the cattle grow sick.
As he grows, bad omens stick to him like tar. Harsh winters and crops failing. His was a difficult birth, and no child comes after him.
He first hears of witchcraft when he is two years old.
He grabs at something with the wrong hand, and Mother hits him. That, she tells him, is the sign of a witch, and he's already a devil-touched child. If he gives into that temptation, he'll surely fall to sin, and she might as well have him hanged there. He's dragged out to the old birch tree, rope far too long for any sort of execution tied round his neck and the branches. he's left there, until the cold hurts his skin, but he doesn’t cry. He sits quietly and recites what he heard at the sermons in his head.
(Caleb finds him out there, cross legged and calm in the snow, and unties the knots, brings him back into the warmth of the hearth. In the warm fireside light, he looks much how Philip imagines angels to be. Hair and skin so pale as to be lighter than the snow outside, silver eyes almost red, face kind and loving.)
The Wittebane brothers, from childhood to just before the Demon Realm.

Summary
Having thrown his entire life away for a girl who didn't want him, Buck has to figure out what to do with himself. The solution seems fairly simple, at least until he's faced with the realization that perhaps getting black-brained isn't the only thing that his body takes a little too well...
It's death in general.
And certainly not because it was him who wanted to live forever.Bookmarked by MothFather

Summary
He glances back down at his own arm. The first strokes form an oval then one single stroke went down the middle.
Eyes. Dream’s painting eyes, his eyes onto Tommy’s arms.
They’re not very good ones. Dream was definitely struggling with keeping the lines straight. The first eye was drawn crooked, the second one coming out weirdly shaped. Tommy would find it a lot more amusing if the canvas wasn’t his own skin.
“This is stupid.” Tommy’s voice comes out deadpan, scratchy from its lack of use.
—-
Canon divergent au where Dream comes back to exile just as Tommy finishes building the tower. He intervenes and decides that Tommy can’t be left alone again. So he makes him his protege.
Or the Painted part to Painted Illusions.
