Summary
What if, when they meet in the twenty-first century, Hob is a little more human, a little slower to forgive, and Dream a little more cognizant of how one should treat centuries-old friends, though no more socially competent?
Or: Dream's admission that Hob is his friend prompts a realisation of what else Dream's longest - and only - friend means to him.
[alt: hob learns of the origins of his immortality and reacts accordingly, six hundred years really is too long to learn a name, Death is the best big sister, and Dream grovels (just a little). and then they kiss and make up, because of course they do.]

Summary
It's a tale as old as time.
Two idiots fall in love. Two idiots fall out of love.
Of course, neither one of them is expecting a baby to come along and derail their unhappily ever after.
(This is a slightly more lighthearted, less angsty AU of the "Precious and Fragile Things 'verse". It's also a shorter, completely different standalone story, so you don't need to read anything else to understand this.)

Summary
or: Dream of the Endless Goes To Uni
When Hob spots Dream of the Endless in the front row of his survey course on 20th c. history, he could perhaps be forgiven for assuming it was out of curiosity, to study his new human boyfriend while Hob went about his weirdo human life, or maybe as part of some kinky student-teacher roleplay thing.
It's not like Dream was there to actually learn about the 20th century that he just so happened to miss while imprisoned, right?

Summary
Meeting Dream had gone from once a century occurrence to every six months, to just every month, then to around once a week, a change of pace Hob would be eternally grateful for, if only people stopped bloody interrupting them.
(Five times someone in Hob's life interrupts him and Dream's meetings (dates) and one time it's someone Dream knows.)

Summary
The Dreaming stands, but Dream... Dream is gone.
In the aftermath of the assault on the Dreaming, the Kindly Ones delivered their judgement, their punishment - for spilling blood - and yet, Dream is gone... but not yet returned. Death does not understand why. Endless remain... and yet Dream... is just gone.
Only because the Kindly Ones did not take his life that day. No. It's not much of a punishment if it was what he craved most.
No, instead, they trap him in an unending nightmare - living the moment he killed his son over and over again. Until he breaks, until he begs, until the end of time - Dream doesn't know. He just knows there's no escape. There's no help coming. He's alone.
And every day that he kills his son - just to wash the blood away again and again... He desires for this to end, he would beg for death, he wallows in despair, and he worries he's becoming delirious. The touch of his siblings reside in him, but he accepts they will never come for him. He deserves this. It's his punishment.
His siblings don't care - he tells himself... unaware they don't even know he's alive, and if they did - none of them, not even Desire, would agree.

In the arms of Morpheus | Dans les bras de Morphée. by aalisse

Summary
Attraction to Dream of the Endless comes to Hob in a form of a slow, simmering fire. At times it burns brighter, other times it calms until it’s barely noticeable. It never goes away fully, partially because Hob doesn’t want it to.
His companion is the embodiment of hope and dreaming. It would be sacrilege to give up hope in being wanted by him.
_____
Death comes for a raven, and finds her brother. He doesn't ask her for help, but prevents her possible entrapment, so she finds Hob Gadling and suggests he do something about the situation at hand.
Cue a one man resque mission in 1926, which leads to dozens of years of platonic, yet vaguely romantic dating both in the waking world and in the Dreaming.Now with illustrations in the second chapter!

Summary
Hob had never been a man of deep thought or philosophical inclination, so he still struggled to wrap his head around the concept of the Endless. He had always been a more practical man, and as such he saw before him not a mystical otherworldly being, but a tired man in desperate need of a friend.
----
Or: Hob rescues Dream, moves to the French countryside, takes up gardening and teaches Dream about selfcare. Also they kiss.

Summary
"So," Hob drawled, putting his arm around Dream's shoulders in a way that was clearly trying to be casual and not succeeding even a little, "When do I get to meet your family?"
Dream is confident that once Hob realizes how much better the other Endless are, he will no longer tolerate all of Dream's flaws.
