Everything That Falls Down Eventually Rises by Dira Sudis (dsudis)

Summary
What if the absence of Dream of the Endless broke the world much, much more than it did in canon? What if the Corinthian was one of the least dangerous nightmares to escape into the Waking world in his absence? What if Dream got free and discovered a Waking world that needed to be rebuilt as much as the Dreaming?
(And, because I ship Dreamling too hard for anything else: what if Hob Gadling was out there in that broken world, still waiting for him?)

Summary
Neither of them hears the inciting comment, but they do hear Delirium’s screamed response.
“It’s Delirium! Not Delight! It’s Delirium, it’s Delirium and you know it!”
“Oops,” Desire says, a catty tone to their voice, “must have forgotten, slip of the tongue.”
Delirium shrieks in response to this, a high, angry noise that hurts Hob’s eardrums.

“I don’t know.” They say, quiet. “For a moment, she just… she looked like Delight again.”
Dream just twists further into Hob, again like he’s looking for an opening to pour his essence into.
Death inhales, shakily, the closest Hob has ever seen to her losing her composure. “She’s not… she won’t change back.”
All eyes in the room turn to Destiny, almost instinctively. He’s still sitting where he was, incredibly out of place on Hob’s ugly sofa, and he hasn’t contributed anything to the argument. His hand moves to rest over his book and, very slowly, he shakes his head.
“No.”
“But I want her back.” Desire says. “I don’t like it. I want…”

Summary
Destiny doesn’t always leave him notes about the day ahead – Hob is pretty sure even doing just that is pushing the limits of his function – but when he does, the small scraps of paper all go into one box that sits just under his bed. No one else knows it’s there (well, Destiny probably does, but he hasn’t said anything about it), and he’s pretty sure one of the others is going to find it one day and make fun of him, but that’s a problem for future-Hob. Current-Hob is going to follow the advice on the paper and take the train to work instead of driving.
A quick glance at his alarm clock reveals that Destiny re-set it to five minutes early when he visited, giving Hob the time he needs to get to the station. He presses a kiss to the paper and reads the second line; it warns him that Delirium will be joining him for lunch.

Hob presses a kiss to the closest bit of skin. “Yeah. I never know what to expect when Del shows up, and she seemed quite happy to meet one of my colleagues again…” He trails off. “Oh, shit.”
“What?”
He raises his free hand to rub his eyes. “Ally. I work with her, she’s gonna want to know why Del looked about five years older today than last week.”
“Makeup.” Dream offers, peering up at him. His eyes are alight with laughter.
“I’ll try it,” Hob agrees, laughing slightly himself, “I love you.”
Dream sniffs and curls back into his body. “Go to sleep.”
Hob rolls his eyes and settles down, feeling the careful, golden strands of the Dreaming begin to wave their way around his conscious. Just as he is losing his grip on the waking, Dream’s lips move where they are just above his collar bone.
“I love you too.”

Summary
The only information Hob gets from Destiny is that whoever is accompanying him to the event will be waiting in the passenger seat of his car. There’s a certain petulant tone to Destiny’s voice that suggests it is not going to be him.
Delirium is waiting when he climbs in the driver’s side, dressed appropriately in a pretty pink dress and with the colours in her hair faded to a more respectable level – i.e., they won’t burn out anyone’s retinas. She beams when she sees him.

“Yes! Opportunity. Destiny kept speaking when I wanted to.”
Hob laughs again. “Didn’t he already know it was going to be you?”
“He wanted to change it.” She settles back in her seat and lets him start the car. “He only said it was me when he lost.”
It warms something in him to know that they were all so determined to be with him, even to the point of trying to change the Book.
“Good to know.”

THE TIES THAT BIND US (the endless knot of dreams) by dxrkneptxne

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)

"I'll love you even if you're boring, pinkie promise. I'll take care of you." Dream exhaled softly, the first noise she'd heard out of her little brother. Death beamed.

Bookmark Notes:
Sometime later, and she can’t really pinpoint it to one single moment, she realizes that something is happening, that the universe is changing and she is growing up or at least growing older… She is no longer Delight; and the blossoms have already begun to fall in her domain, becoming smudged and formless, and she has no one to talk to… not even her brother, sitting only a few meters away from her, but still so far. He can’t understand and he can’t help her. She is no longer Delight and she feels how it tears at her, pulling her in two different directions and there is nothing she can use to anchor herself, nothing except maybe…
There is a pull in one direction, becoming her own opposite, turning everything she once valued upside down. But she doesn’t want to lose everything she once was. She doesn’t want to become Depression. She thinks of humanity losing Delight. It will not mean that they will not be able to be happy without her, but the universe is changing and if she becomes darker, the world will be darker, too. But it would be so easy to use all the hurt, sadness and despair the imprisonment caused in her. To use all the anger and hatred she has for the humans that harmed her. She would be terrible, yes, but she would be powerful, too. Nothing could ever hurt or reach her again; she would be able to keep everyone away. But it would also take away her emotions, make life dull and dark.
The pull in the other direction is weaker and at this point she has to fight to stay in this neutral place of no-identity. If she decides to take that path, if she even can take it, it will turn up all her emotions until she feels everything at once. It would mix up reality and delusions, and maybe that would take the pain away. Or maybe not. And would this be the better option, to become your own hyperbole? To become too much of yourself? Would she ever be able to have a clear thought again? Would she have to sacrifice her sanity? Would she even realize what she lost? Does she want to become Delirium? -

He is comfortable in this chaos, to an extent - he has to be, given his line of work. His siblings aren't murdering and pillaging and burning cities just to get their petty revenge on each other, at least not all the time, and for that he is thankful. It's about the little things, really.

Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes by ihatecoconut

Summary
Hob has always been the kind of person to try anything once. Unfortunately, that applies to the literal anything and that is exactly the reason he finds himself in this situation.
The walls have some weird shimmery blue pattern on them that moves like waves, and he’s maybe not in the most reasonable mindset, but he is pretty certain that they were just solid white before. He is very certain that the girl who is tracing them with her fingers and giggling quietly was not there before either, because he had had some sense in him and locked all the doors and windows before he’d taken a hit.
