You create me against your lips by Delta_Pavonis

Summary
"Dream King," Hob inclines his head. "I am not here to harm, nor am I here at the behest of my Lord, the Lightbringer." He meets the King's piercing blue eyes and has to grit his teeth to hold in a gasp at how sharply they cut into his chest.
That look trails from Hob's head to his toes slowly, scouring, then back up. Judging. Assessing. "So why do you dog my steps, Hellknight?"

Summary
Hob Gadling was halfway through his third drunken karaoke rendition of "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" when he learned that he had a husband.
A husband who was apparently trapped in a jar.
In 1389, Hob married a man in his dreams, a lover conjured only by his imagination -- or so he thought. Five hundred years later, a mysterious ransom letter has Hob questioning everything he knew about his dream husband, who coincidentally disappeared from his dreams seventy years ago.
Several miles away, trapped in a glass bowl, said husband is really regretting letting his marriage be only a story in dreams.

Putting Out Fire With Gasoline by notallsandmen (notallmaenads)

Summary
“You are late. I thought it was impolite to keep friends waiting?”
“We’re not friends. We’re not… anything. You’ve made that perfectly clear.”Dream does not get fishbowled and does turn up for the 1989 meeting, only to find that Hob does not appear.
Hob has not been not captured or detained; he just stands him up.
Or — what if Hob was a little less of a forgiving, patient cinnamon roll, and a little bit more of an salty bitch and went: ”You abandon me in the 1889, I will ghost you in 1989.”Inspired by Cat People (Putting Out Fire) by David Bowie

Passing Stranger! (You Do Not Know How Longingly I Look Upon You) by WyvernQuill
Fandoms: The Sandman (TV 2022)
26 Feb 2023
Tags
Summary
“Soulmates.” Hob says, simply, and it feels like old magic to speak it into existence, to forge the bond between them into words at last. “You and I are soulmates. And I think that you are lonely, that you need and miss me when we’re apart... just as much as I miss you.”
“Soulmates.” The Stranger repeats, flatly, his sonorous voice barely a rumbling growl. “Hob Gadling, we are not soulmates.”
Or: Hob has known that Dream is his mildly star-crossed soulmate since their first meeting in 1389, but believes they have a mutual understanding not to acknowledge it; Dream, meanwhile, was under the impression that the Endless have no soulmates whatsoever, up until their sixth meeting in 1889.
Finding out they're wrong comes as a bit of a shock to both of them.Series

“I have something to ask of you, my elder brother.” Dream began, without much preamble. “I do not ask lightly, nor frivolously, and in exchange, I shall gladly offer whatever boon or service you might wish to ask of me. It is a matter most close to my heart, for it concerns…”
Dream paused. The words still held a strange weight to them that made them difficult to speak aloud.“..it concerns my soulmate, Hob Gadling.”

Takes place between Hypnopompia turtur and Divination.
