Summary
From the day he was declared Crown Prince, Morpheus has stood on a pedestal, with everyone who laid eyes on him treating him as something fragile—especially after an incident that left him scarred and wary. Morpheus has long since accepted his duties, and he has always been aware that they include him finding a wife of his station to bear him heirs.
The time for him to take on this responsibility comes in the form of the Summer Solstice Ball, where he is expected to choose and court a maiden from a noble family.
However, after an attack on his carriage leads to a chance encounter with a man named Hob Gadling, the Crown Prince finds that the path to his future has grown uncertain.
To Hob, Morpheus is the monarch he has sworn his life to protect. Beyond his solemn vow as a knight, he has grown to think of the prince as a trusted friend, and Hob would never do anything to cause him distress. So when he realises that there might be another reason for his devotion, Hob reminds himself of his place: he is a knight sworn to protect the Crown Prince. And his future queen and heirs. That is the only path laid out for him.

Summary
“Who are they?” Hob asked
Seventeen-year-old Hob Gadling hates Shakespeare, avoids his homework, and lives under the heavy weight of grief and an alcoholic father’s volatile moods. With his dreams of college slipping through his fingers, Hob’s only escape is the golden meadow beyond his backyard — a quiet, wild place where the world feels softer, and his pain a little more bearable.
But everything changes the day they move in.
The Edvardsens — a mysterious family of seven adopted siblings with strange names, stranger auras, and a mansion that’s been abandoned for decades — have arrived from London, trailing secrets, whispers of fame, and a history even older than Hob could guess. When he meets Death, radiant and self-possessed, something shifts. And when he finds him — the boy in black, reading alone in the meadow — Hob begins to feel like his story might finally be starting. -

Summary
Hob Gadling has lived through six centuries of history, and he’s collected more jobs than most people can imagine—mercenary, printer, pirate, mob boss, even a rock musician for a spell. But the one role that feels like home is the one he holds now: Professor Robin Golding, Medieval History, London.
Through lectures about chimneys and buttons, cups of tea at Nina’s café, banter with colleagues, and evenings in his pub, Hob reflects on the small things that shape lives. The inventions that go unnoticed, the food that feels miraculous after centuries of hunger, the city of London itself. And underneath it all, the quiet, stubborn hope that maybe one day his Stranger will walk through the door again.
A story about teaching, eating, laughing, waiting, and living—all the little things that keep Hob going.

Summary
Long before the world forgot how to listen to trees, the Oracle of Dodona and the Lord of Dreams walked the path between sleep and prophecy. Where they passed, ravens perched in silence, and the oaks whispered secrets only gods could bear.
In the dying light of the fourth century, beneath the shadow of Theodosius, they struck a covenant: at each century’s turn, she would offer him a raven. In return, he would plant an oak in the Dreaming—its roots deep, its branches wide, its purpose sacred.
But Dream is gone.
And the Oracle waits beneath a sky that no longer speaks, listening for wings that do not come. The century turns. The oak remains unplanted. And the silence is beginning to rot.
The tragedy has not yet begun.
But it will.
(a love three thousand years in the making)

Summary
Set after The Wake, this series explores what follows the end of Dream. Morpheus is gone, yet something of him remains. Everything will be clarified in the individual oneshots in this series, here I do not deny Morpheus's departure, but will rationalize it to keep Morpheus stays.
With themes of memory, love, and rebirth, the story follows their quiet, lingering presence in a world that believes Dream has truly died. But not all endings are final. May this be a quiet place to explore their story, their bond, and all the moments that never made it into the stars.
The continuation of the storyline is primarily based on the TV show, most are Healing Morpheus but still has Morpheus X OC. You've been warned.
Please understand this is not my native language. Thank you.

Summary
“Did you see your dad outside?”
Dalia nodded against her chest.
“And you spoke to him?”
She nodded again.
Her mother pressed her lips together, but not in sadness - but fear. “That’s not your dad, Dalia. You hear me? Whatever you see or hear, it’s not real. What’s real is me, and you, and everyone in this room. Your dad is not here.”
Dalia knew the truth, knew that she’d seen her father in the courtyard, and that he’d spoken to her. She’s known all her life who was in the room with her physically and who wasn’t supposed to be there.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A young woman whose family line has the capabilities of being a “medium” and speaking with “the dead” discovers that her ability to “speak to ghosts” is not ghosts at all. In fact, she has the ability to speak and see other beings from other worlds. When she has seemingly taken into her full potential of being a medium, on her 20th birthday she wishes for the impossible to happen - wishing to know her actual purpose in life. The next day, she’s forced into a new world where everything is the same but not. -
