How Adam Loved Eve by Moorishflower
Fandoms: The Sandman (Comics), The Sandman (TV 2022)
15 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
It's said in the Bible that when the Lord took the rib from Adam and used it to craft Eve, there upon her breast, where the rib rested beneath her skin, was Adam's name writ in the old language of angels and higher powers.
Hob wonders, sometimes, if Adam bore Eve's name somewhere upon his person, or if she spent the rest of her life wondering if God had chained a man to her that would never love her back.
Everyone is born with the name of their soulmate as a mark on their palm. Hob Gadling is born with a thousand titles in looping scrawl on his arm and a name on his palm that no one can see but him.

Summary
The look Dream gave him was exactly that of the cat served with a salad, although Hob wasn’t yelling at him at the moment. “Why would you humans find sexual appeal in other beings that are not of your species?”
“You tell me. You are the wet dreams of everything.”
Dream's appearance depended on how one perceived him. And for centuries, Hob didn't see him as a human.

Summary
Hob has to do a double take because Dream is crying; big, ugly, hiccuping sobs that wrack his skeletal frame to the point where Dream looks like a leaf in the wind. The raven that’d been following the man the last time they met— Mike or Martin or Matthew or something— pecks at the guys shoes.
The story of how Hob Gadling starts a pub, beats up a god, stares down Death, falls in love with Dream of the Endless, and amasses a small army of fidget cubes. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
The year: 2022. Hob Gadling faces a lecture hall of students and feels the world change. In another realm, Dream of the Endless makes a deal to save his sibling. For one year, another will hold Dream's memories outside of himself. At the conclusion of this year, both Delirium and Dream's memories will be returned.
Until then, Hob arrives home to find an unconscious Endless in his bed, who remembers nothing of their meetings over the years, or indeed, anything at all. Hob cannot tell Dream anything, because Dream has rarely revealed any part of himself to his human friend. All they have are 6 meetings and a raven to get them through.
At the end of their year together, almost everything has changed.

Summary
“You and Dream will leave, but you shall do so without a guide, no one will give you directions, no one will address you, no one will lay their eyes upon you. You will be on your own, Robert Gadling. Much like beautiful Orpheus was. As for Dream… he will follow after you, but you cannot look back at him or you’ll sentence both of you for eternity of damnation. Only once you pass over to the Dreaming, will you be free of my rules.”
Hob frowned, not knowing what to make of Lucifer’s proposal, so he uttered the one question that seemed the most pressing among the others “But how will I know that you held up your end of the deal? How can I be sure that Dream will be with me?”
Lucifer’s bright smile transformed into a grin, as they proudly stated “You can’t. That’s why it’s going to be so interesting, Robert Gadling.”

Summary
Hob heard about Roderick Burgess capturing the Devil about a year after it happened. When his friends wondered about it, he went to see for himself. In a whirlwind of events, he ended up breaking out his oldest friend and taking an abused child away from his home. An abused child Dream told Hob to adopt.
Well, Hob was going to jump into this with both feet. If Alex needed a dad and a place to belong, Hob could provide that. So, he had a kid now, he supposed. Fuck.

Summary
The young man turned, and asked, determination and cowardice both flickering in his eyes, “Professor, do you think it’s wicked to help the devil?”
For a moment, Hob thought - and tried to not let his mind dwell overly long on an entity he had long thought demonic.Is it wicked to help the devil? Less than to love one, surely.
A story in which Hob becomes a history professor a century earlier, Alex receives some inspiration towards bravery, and Dream is very grateful indeed.
