Sheep Riding

phenyxsnest:

Apparently, sheep riding is a thing. Only kids can ride
sheep (or very small adults), but it is a thing and there are pictures
and they are great. Of course this made me think of this au, and how
Dipper and Acacia would totally ride demon sheep, and they’d probably
manage to convince Hank and Willow to join in. Sheep racing: fun for the
whole family! (Mabel is the ref. Stan collects bets. Henry just sighs.)

and then one day some people come to watch and eventually the whole
town is showing up to these things and it turns into this annual
tradition for the town… its a blast and everything is on fire and its
sorta like monster truck rallys or something only its DEMON SHEEP and
its just a great time for everyone (who wouldnt pay to see that. i know i
would)

The first ride was spontaneous, a test of newly-forming trust between nightmares and demon.

Their new master had promised not to harm them, and so far had kept
his word. But right now he was weak and in pain, and they were made of
energy and had to obey him.

The perfect demon snack.

Their master was still different, though, as at least some of his
pain was emotion, not physical, and demons didn’t do emotional pain.
They did anger, they did glee, but not grief.

A few feet away from where the nightmares milled uncertainly their
new master had collapsed on the grass, trying to patch his wounds as
golden tears rolled down his cheeks.

Finally tired of the uncertainty, the nightmare recently christened
Lolonja stepped forward, accepting that it was, apparently, her fate to
approach their master first in these uncertain situations.
