Summary
"There was a time when I would simply know," Dream says. "All of your imaginings, your dreams. I could sift through them and realize the ones most pleasing to me."
It's a heady thought, that kind of power. Yet Hob doesn't miss the way Dream phrases it. Hob's imaginings. Hob's dreams. Dream picking through them like a list of the only options available to him.

Summary
Where one Hob Gadling undertakes the task of reforming the Corinthian.
And it goes so much better than he planned.
(When you give a food to a starving man, he will thank you. If he is on the verge of death, he might even prostate himself before you. Sometimes, the real challenge is getting him to admit that he needs the food in the first place.)

Summary
The last person Dream expects to see in Burgess' basement is Hob Gadling, who has apparently been asked to consult on the restoration of the historic manor. He is pleased when his old acquaintance helps free him without a second thought, despite their past squabble, but he is horrified to realise that breaking the binding circle does nothing to return his powers to him, and that he cannot return to the Dreaming after having been released from his cage.
Weak, confused, and distressingly human, he consents to being taken back to Hob's home to be cared for until he can regain his strength. When he falls asleep that night (which he should never have had need for), he finally finds his way back to his palace, only to find someone else sitting on his throne, wearing his ruby, and claiming his name as her own — Dream of the Endless.

Summary
After initially dismissing an oddity in the Dreaming, over the years Morpheus gets to know his unusual visitor.
Chapter 1 tease:
“Since my return to the Dreaming and the rebuilding of it, there has been something amiss. I thought it was simply the realm resettling.” He pointed across the river. “It’s her.”“Another vortex?” Lucienne asked, alarmed.
“No,” Dream replied. He was intrigued. “Something else. Something new.”
Sloooooooow burn (seriously takes years so she can grow up) story of strangers to friends to lovers. Time warped but somewhat follows the comics so SPOILERS!

Summary
Hob Gadling was not by nature a cautious man but even he knew the value of keeping track of those who would be too… intrigued by his condition. In 1926, a chance conversation in a bar alerts Hob to the fact that Roderick Burgess has captured another immortal, one that sounds eerily similar to his friend.

Summary
Hob knows he is dreaming. He's had similar dreams a few times before.
In these dreams he is a knight, a seasoned warrior clad in well-worn leathers and finely crafted armor, weariness and exhaustion weighing him down heavier than the plate on his shoulders and back. Sometimes he’s returning from a battle, covered in dirt, blood and sweat – but never wounded, just tired. Sometimes he’s returning from faraway lands, with head full of stories and images of breathtaking places that have no ability to exist in the waking world.
Sometimes he’s just– returning.

Summary
Since realizing the truth of his feelings for Hob, Dream had been asking himself - what did Hob want? More life, always. To spend time with Dream, strangely enough. Very frequently, sex. None of that had given Dream an idea of what he could do for Hob.

Summary
Hob is most of the way through his introductory lecture on pre-1800s English literature, sweating gamely underneath the combination of overhead lights and an unseasonably warm September, when he feels the gaze lingering on him.
Hob smiles – he can’t help it. His husband’s visits are almost always unplanned, but always welcome. He’s not sure what an eternal personification of dreams and nightmares will get out of this particular lecture, but he’s happy, in the meantime, to let his eyes drink their fill, and to feel Dream’s regard on him like a lover’s arms.
Dream comes to observe his husband teaching.

Summary
The world has been infected by a zombie virus, and civilization has been brought to its knees. So much for a future of flying cars, space travel, and holograms- so much for the profession of teaching history.
Hob Gadling may be immortal, but that doesn't mean he can't be hurt.
...and, he comes to find, humans aren't the only beings that can be altered by this undead curse.

Summary
How does it feel to cut a path into the woods? To demand your way in? To demand the love of a god?
It's lightning bolts and thunder, it's hail storms and winter rain. It's a cleansing, washing, hammering away the pain of a hundred years.

Summary
Although she hears it constantly, Death knows it's not truly her fault when mortals' time comes to pass. She may help ferry them, but she does not kill them - not truly. She may help with the circumstances, she may help nudge them, but she doesn't murder anyone. Her function was the most natural part of every mortal's life. She took joy in her function.
Which would never change. Shouldn't change.
Except it does. All of it does. Everything comes falling down and apart when it's not Dream that's taken by Roderick but Death. And it's Death who suffers his hospitality, and it's Death who is faced with a choice every week to let a man die or save Randall.
Every day, she's called a murderer. Death is not... she won't... but perhaps for Roderick and company, when she is free, she'll make an exception... and she's certain she'll take quite a bit of joy from it.
