From birth and other adventures, Orpheus grows up under the care of a mother who is part goddess and a father who is the personification (the worst of all) of a concept.

In the Wake of What Was by IfDreaming

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.

Fuckboi Dream Was Forced To Experience The Mortifying Ordeal Of Being Alive And All He Got Was This Stupid Husband (by Fall Out Boy) by dancinbutterfly for Avelera

Summary
"If you don't stop me, I'm going to keep you," Hob murmurs into his ear, holding him tight through the spasms of his laughter. "You mad, ludicrous, delightful, gorgeous slut. I think you might be exactly what I've been looking for, for a very long time."
It starts when Desire drags his ass out to a fetish party in Brixton when he would rather have been tucked safely away in his studio. It starts with a few hits of MDMA, an unwise promise, and a conversation over heard in the smoking section. It starts with a man named Robert who smiles like the sun, takes him in hand and takes him a part, one piece at a time.
Look, Dream knows he's a mess, in almost every way, but he just came out to Torture Garden to ostensibly have a good time. He didn't intend to have every aspect of his existence turned upside down, inside out, and unraveled. Yet here he fucking is.

Summary
A guarded graduate student of dream philosophy makes a quiet, desperate wish—half-formed, half-believed—for something real. What answers is not a dream, but Dream himself. Morpheus, Lord of the Dreaming, arrives like starlight in the dark, pulling her into a connection that is at once erotic, mythic, and impossibly tender.
What begins as a vivid escape soon unravels into something deeper: a cosmic entanglement neither of them can undo. As passion turns to obsession and the walls between realms thin, she’s caught in a storm of divine politics, unraveling secrets, and the raw weight of loving something eternal. Haunted by ancient griefs, hunted by the Furies, and tangled in the intrigues of gods and scholars alike, she must face a terrifying truth: Some dreams are too real to survive the morning.

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.

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.

Dream a little dream of me by Bookholicfangirl

Summary
The plan was simple. They were given full and permanent permission to stay on the mortal plane after a year of evaluation from the lost and found department. Which means their souls belonged to realm of Death anchored making this life a version of their afterlife. It was literally a dream come true. The best thing they could have imagined. Perhaps that's when they should have prepared themselves for something to go wrong though Charles thought bitterly.

Summary
Dream had not intended to take such a form, after his dealing with Alex Burgess. That was perhaps the alarming part of it, when he had blinked awake on the black sands of The Dreaming. It made sense of course. Horribly. He was weak after a century of imprisonment. His tools were scattered, his powers fractured. He was vulnerable, and his form… reflected that. Against his will.

Hopelessly Devoted by GoWithTheFlo20

Summary
Devotion was a funny little thing, wasn’t it? Everybody everywhere devoted themselves in part to something or someone somewhere at some time. It was also a curious thing to pin down in concise parameters.
Harriet Potter was not a woman easily consigned to a box. When odd things begin to happen around the plucky Witch seemingly out and of her control, she’s sent spiralling down a rabbit hole of bomb threats, cults, and fanatical fantasy. All to find the answer to one small but very tricky question.
What is she?
One thing remains the same, child in a cupboard, savour of the Wizarding world or newly materializing Endless One, Harry puts the fun in dysfunctional.

Summary
The world is complicated. At least it is for Johanna, Hob, and the Endless. Between the chaos, the sins, and the insanity of their lives, there is little time to do anything but keep moving forward.
There are too many unknowns to even consider taking a break - not when there are corrupted Endless, a less than honorable devil, and consistent danger to their lives and functions.
It's just that sometimes they need a moment. A moment to think, a moment to expand, or a moment to relax.
Companion Piece to 'Of Nightmares and Sins' trilogy. Additional scenes and expanded portions not included in the original work.

Summary
Long before Destruction laid down his tools - before Delight became Delirium - another of the Endless walked away.
He was never named in temples. Only felt in trembling hands, in holy madness, in art that made you weep.
He was ecstasy and revelation. He was faith without dogma, light that blinded, transformation that burned.
He was Divinity. And he left.
Now, eons later, a rooftop party under a starlit sky brings the unthinkable: Delirium sees him. RemembersSeries

Summary
Serena, a mortal girl, has never dreamt like other humans. For as long as she can remember, her sleep has taken her to Destiny’s garden — a place of silence, order, and endless paths. When Destiny inexplicably casts her out, she finally finds herself in Dream’s realm in her sleeping hours. He is unnerved by her foreign presence, uncertain whether she is a threat, a mistake, or something worse. Yet no matter how many times he casts her out, night after night, she returns, finding herself in parts of the dreaming no mortal should be able to reach.
Drawn to each other despite every reason not to be, their connection deepens — strange, tender, and dangerously real. But Dream is not made for love, and Serena was never meant to find him. Between them lies a truth long kept hidden… and a desire neither of them can escape.
