prompt: their dreams are filled with the most bittersweet nostalgia. they dream of playgrounds, birthday parties and the most cheerful of childhood games. although they're dreaming, they swear they can taste sweet icing and the snacks that used to be their favourite, as they sit on a picnic blanket in sunshine that doesn't feel quite real and gaze towards a flickering blue sky.
they remember the carnivals that came to town and how they would excitedly run towards the rides with their friends, drawn by bright lights and the buttery scent of popcorn, remembering so vividly that they dream of it in clear detail, often waking and feeling disappointed that it was merely a memory and not the present. it feels the same, though trying to recall these dreams sometimes results in what feels like static blanketing their mind and preventing every detail from being perfect.
although dreams rarely come to fruition, and you can never bring back the past, mercury enjoys reliving their memories and repeating those same experiences in the hope it would feel just like the first time.
