The Sandman (TV 2022)+1

**Please mind the listed work tags. This fic centers around domestic abuse, violence, child abuse, and dysfunctional family.**
Morpheus - or Dream, as he's nicknamed himself - could have been gone the moment he turned 18, like his older siblings Dee and Destiny. But that would mean abandoning his younger siblings Dessie, Desire, and Del to a deeply broken household, and he's spent far too long protecting them at his own expense to run.Their father is abusive; their mother is one of his victims and locks herself in her bedroom. No one finds out, and Dream intends to keep it that way, because no one is coming to help any of them... until Time goes too far, Dream collapses in the middle of a uni class, and a chain of events is set in motion he cannot stop.---Two chapters plus an epilogue. I know relevant legal systems and child welfare systems don't work like this. This is, among other things, wish fulfillment. Thank you to Readertee for alpha/beta reading and tharkuun for some of the medical accuracy details!
