Summary
Contrary to belief, the Endless did not know all. They were not the most powerful beings in the universe. They existed to serve the world they were born into by Time and Night. Time and Night, who in turn, only existed by a wave of the hand by the Creator - when the universe was born.
What was known was that Lucifer and Michael were fated to fight until the end of days - the war between the silver city and Hell constant and ruthless. However, it was not fought directly by them - but by their cohorts... demons for Lucifer and Nephilims for angels.
Nephilims were feral beings, no better than demons - only marked with grace and wings instead of blackness and horns. Creatures that were vicious and ravenous - feasting on the blood and essence of their enemies.
The Endless did not know everything, but even Dream knew that it was best to never meet a Nephilim without a muzzle... and better yet, it was best to not cross the considered leader of the Nephilim, the only female - Mikayla.
But as said before... the Endless... Dream did not know everything. He did know duty. He did not know her.

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.

The next time Hob "Goldlin" sees his stranger after the 1889 disagreement, he's gagged with mostly decorative chains at a dirty party at Fawney Rig in the late 1920s, lasciviously.

Summary
“By all means, my sister,” Dream dismissively flicked his hand towards the foolhardy peasant with an indulgent smile only barely playing around his lips. “Be my guest. If he is to be your champion in this wager, and your gift he is not granted, it seems only right that you should inform him of these circumstances.”
“If that is your wish, brother, then so it shall be.”
And with that, Death gathered her skirts, and strode over to Robert Gadling’s table.Instead of Dream, it’s Death who walks up to Hob Gadling in 1389, and meets him every hundred years thereafter.
It changes everything - and at the same time, (almost) nothing at all. -

Summary
Fan Comic originally posted on Tumblr and is still ongoing.
What if Hob Gadling had saved his Stranger?
Well, this is a common trope. Yet a trope so easy to contribute to. However, this fan fiction is presented in comic format and dives right into the story.
Mind the tags as you dive in.
All line work, rendering and dialog had been done by yours truly, so it takes some time for me to post here. Single pages are located on my Tumblr if you are impatient, and completed chapters will come here.
This fan comic goes into dark places. Deals with dark things and isn't necessarily a happy story to start off. The original graphic novel touched on many, MANY subjects that were not spoken about publicly and still are taboo for some demographics.
This is a warning. It's not for everyone, but life itself isn't always pretty and perfect. I won't be offended if you decide that this isn't the story for you. It combines both the graphic novel and the Netflix series should you feel the need to find out more on some of the lore behind my story.
It gets tough before it gets better. I promise a rewarding experience in taking this journey with me.
