Reflections In Glass by BeccaOfThePen
Fandoms: The Sandman (TV 2022), The Sandman (Comics)
19 Dec 2025

Summary
“Sister,” Morpheus cut over her, “why are you doing this?”
Death glared at him. “Why?? You seriously have to ask me that? I don’t want to see you scarred, Dream!” she snapped angrily, hurt. “If this goes wrong, you’ll carry the scar of this until the end of this universe! I don’t want that, and setting aside the part where I love you, brother, the very thought of it is abhorrent to me, to my very nature! And I don’t want to see that poor women withered away into little more then a spiritual tumour for you to bare!”
~
Lilly's gaze fixed on his eyes and the stars, the galaxies, the universe in his pupils. When he reached for her she stepped back with a gasp. “What are you?”
“I am everything I have ever told you I am, that my sister told you I am. You just didn’t understand, didn’t appreciate, the scale of what that meant. I have never lied to you, Lilly.”
Her eyes were wide and frightened as she whispered, “Dream...”
~~
When a single mistake creates a cascade of events with only two possible outcomes, either joy, or tragic devastation, all pieces on the board must be brought to bare.
With the Endless, magic, and love, lies just a hair's breadth away from the depths of insanity.

Oh, That Mortal Coil (And Other Holiday Inconveniences) by brunettehairmaiden91

Summary
Dream has been stranded in the mortal world for a year. Nuala has been "managing" him, her word, not his and he has contributed nothing but brooding, biscuit consumption, and opinions about the toaster.
Now she wants him to help decorate a Christmas tree.
The tree is the least of his problems. The real problem is that somewhere between the tangled lights and the light-up jumper, Dream has begun to notice things. The way she laughs. The way she says his name. The way he orients his entire existence around her without meaning to.
He is the King of Dreams. He has ruled for millennia. He should not be undone by a stuck zipper and a sprig of mistletoe.
And yet.

The art of living (See you in five?) by Cam1610

Summary
What would happen if Hob Gadling landed on Orpheus’s mysterious island in the year 1800? What would unfold if he befriended that sad, despairing boy who thinks about death but still carries a spark of life within him? What if Hob decided to nurture that spark, returning every five years to show Orpheus that life is truly worth living?
After years of absence and avoiding his son, Dream of the Endless comes to ask Orpheus for help in finding his lost brother. He expects to hear a plea for death – because Orpheus begged for it for millennia. But this time it will be completely different – and it will be the King of Dreams who is shocked.
After all – like father, like son, right?

Summary
"Dream?"
The name falls off the man’s lips, hushed and breathless, and it stirs an answering feeling in Morpheus’ chest, something tugging deep behind the cage of his ribs, an incomprehensible yearning to be this man’s Dream.
"I fear you mistake me for another,” he says, at last.
*
Or, retired Morpheus tries to navigate human life without the foundation of his memories, and a chance encounter is the catalyst he needs to find himself.
