    Summary

    Part of Desire’s function is that they were meant to be colleague, partner, and consort to Dream. Desire was born with this knowledge, but Dream wasn’t. So, when Dream meets his new sibling for the first time he think Desire’s just overly affectionate because of who they are.

    Just some loosely connected chapters with Dream misunderstanding Desire’s intentions throughout their lives.

    or

    They've been married so long that no one, not even the other Endless can remember how Dream and Desire got together, this is that story.

    The prequel to Separated Not Divorced. Can be read as a stand-alone.

    Summary

    You think you know the Sandman? I assure you, no one knew him better than a handful of people. His parents, Night and Time; his siblings: Destiny, Death, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium; his human friend, Hob Gadling; and a human woman who was a dreamer and, most likely, the love of his existence - Belle.

    Of course, he must aid her in a time of great need before they become such a romantic duo. How must he aid her? As her beloved, affectionate, abnormally large pet cat, of course. And as the man she dreams and fantasizes about when she should be doing labs and calculus.

    Isn't it against the rules for an Endless to love a mortal? Perhaps, but nothing good in life comes easy.

    Follow Belle and Dream through their lives and adventures; their hopes and struggles as they traverse labyrinths between worlds and dimensions. As they brave the depths of Hell and agony. As they come face to face with gods, monsters, and demons. And as their love for each other grows stronger... endlessly.

    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

    As he is waiting for his sister, Death, to come and take his life as demanded by the Kindly Ones, Morpheus gets one last chance to speak with his son Orpheus, as well as with his brother Destruction and their sister Death. It gives him the chance to tell them things he didn't have the chance before.

    And maybe, these conversations will give him hope regarding what comes after... Is there even an after, when you are Endless?

    Summary

    “You cannot help me,” Dream rasps. “Not this time.”

     

    Hob rocks back, furrowing his brow and defies this.

     

    “Begging your pardon, King of Dreams, but I’ll decide what I can or cannot do, thank you,” Hob chides, lifting his brow in soft warning.

     

    Or the one where Hob steals yarn, fights an old (immortal) lady and accidentally messes everything up fantastically. (but in a good way). [And the author's frantic attempt to make better sense of the horrible mess of Season 2 Vol 2]

    Summary

    When Dream escapes his capture after more than 100 years - he seeks out Hob Gadling, only to not find him anywhere. Believing Hob wants nothing more to do with him, and with their meeting place destroyed, Dream returns to the Dreaming, despondent.

    What Dream does not know - Hob Gadling contracted The Sleeping Sickness, and after not perishing, was captured to be experimented on and tortured.

    When Dream finds out - he stops at nothing to not only deliver revenge on those who hurt his friend (and more, so much more), but Torment.

    Summary

    Nothing surprises Destiny for Destiny knows everything. It is all written in his book, so he must know of it.

    He does not know this.

    His brother should not be here, but now he was. His brother should be speaking, but there was not a sound to be heard.

    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

    Hob Gadling never claimed to be a good man, but living forever had pushed him to be a better one. Perhaps because Hob had lived so long, he reckoned there was something a bit…off with him.

    Or Hob kills some cultists, saves his Dream

    Summary

    Samhain happened in a flash of green.

    The baby didn't cry when his mother decided to sleep on the floor and never wake up again. He didn't cry when the red eyed man shot another pretty light that burned his forehead. He didn't cry when a pair of soft arms lifted him up, hugging him like his mommy used to. He didn't cry when the warm stranger kissed his aching forehead, wrapped a silver necklace around his neck and said it was not his time, not yet. Harry didn't cry when people found him.

    He slept, hugging the cold metal of a silver ankh that whispered sweet nothings to him.

    Summary

    In one universe, Dream of the Endless invokes hope in Hell during a contest with Lucifer.

    In this one, Lucifer sends Dream careening into Despair’s realm.

    In the first universe, Dream brings Matthew with him to Hell.

    In the second, he doesn’t.

    It changes more than one might think.

    Or:

    (Dream had always been the most fragile of his siblings after Delight, though only he and Destiny had realized this.)

    (Despair endures, Desires change but thrive. Death and Destiny and Destruction are constants.)

    (Delight can be broken in a moment.)

    (And Dreams are so very, very fleeting.)

    Summary

    In most universes, the first thing does after being freed from the basement of Fawney Rig is recover his tools. He does not realize that Desire is the one responsible for his predicament until after the Vortex Debacle.

    But this universe, this one is a little different.

    Because in this one, Desire can’t help but gloat while their older brother lay curled at the bottom of the glass globe.

    (They blame it on him, saying that they’re trying to teach him a lesson.)

    (Dream hadn’t realized they hated him this much.)

    (And then Jessamy happens and all Dream can think about is how to get even.)

    So when Dream gets out this time, he heads straight to the Threshold to confront Desire.

    Or:

    ”You wish to define me by our conflict, Desire? Very well. Our Dispute is all I am and all I shall ever be,” the fracturing form of Dream snarls.

    Summary

    In most universes, two old gods attack the Dreaming toward the beginning of the universe. Dream asks his siblings for help and only Desire answers, by sending Alinora.

    (She breaks his heart eventually and he becomes that much more wary of love.)

    In this universe, not even Desire sends aid.

    The old gods shred the Dreaming.

    (Except the Dreaming is a manifestation of Dream’s mind.)

    (Dream’s howls of agony echo through the cosmos.)

    (By the time his siblings change their minds it is too late.)

    or:

    ”Why won’t Dream come to family dinner?” Delusion asks at a family dinner, drawing shapes in his food with a fork.

    Summary

    continuity-connected fics where i fuck up dream. inspired by my own imagination for putting characters through hell, hurt/comfort, fluff/angst and hugs n cartharsis because those are my favorite things besides found/chosen family tropes

    i also drew inspiration from numerous other fics and fic series, including A Few Missed Stories series by starkraving (heed the ratings and archive warnings on those!), "Bones Don't Rust" by not_whelmed_yet, "The Embrace of Wings" by Silver_89, and "Stubborn, Prideful, Dear" by two_hundred_percent_trash.
