A/N: This is a gift fic for aline_daryen, a thank you for reading When a Tree Dreams as it posted and leaving lovely comments each week. It is a stand alone oneshot, which just happens to also be set at a similar time to When a Tree Dreams: it is totally unconnected, despite the word 'Dreams' in the title. She asked for the boys comforting each other after waking from a nightmare. I'm not sure if this is what you had in mind, my dear, but I woke up in the middle of the night yesterday, deeply moved by a dream of my grandmother (who passed away many years ago). I couldn't get back to sleep, and ended up writing this instead. It is also, unusually for me, in the present tense.
Finally, huge thanks to birdsofshore for prereading, and evilgiraff for some very speedy and thorough betaing.
