    Summary

    “You know what kept me going, century after century?” Hob is angry enough, desperate enough, that his voice drops low, quiet. “Even when I had nothing?”

    The music around them crests, waves crashing against the unyielding shores of time –

    “Chimneys,” Morpheus answers, bland.

    Oh, what a bastard.

    --------------------

    Or, dreams are memories, Hob reflects about life, and Morpheus learns a thing or two about what it means to be saved, and to be loved.

    Summary

    An offhanded comment from Dream makes Hob reconsider everything he thought he knew about their newly-established relationship. The only solution, of course, is to find out what a mere human like him can do to satisfy an older-than-universe being that created every single wet fantasy under the sun.

    Or, Dream is oblivious, awkward and decidedly Not Interested, while Hob just worries too much.

    Summary

    It has been pointed out to Lord Morpheus, King of Dreams and Nightmares, that he may be... terrible... at communicating when it came to mortals. Several times, actually. Having friends apparently means they like to point out your every little flaw.

    One such case of his sheer idiocy, it appeared, would be his handling of Rose Walker and Lyta Hall. Something he seeks to rectify.

    Somehow his efforts meant he now found himself with family that actually cared for him and was willing to make themselves a constant presence in his life.

    How strange...

    Summary

    “You are good,” Dream says, the words slow, deliberate; he uses his grip on Hob’s hair to pull him back, to make Hob look at him. “Look at you, making me feel like this; as if I could live off you alone.”

    The noise wrenching itself out of Hob’s throat isn’t one he thought himself capable of, and it is almost too much, overwhelming, being forced to look at Dream and see the truth of it. To be stripped bare like this, beyond the physical, and the sharp contrast of it to the pain still prickling across his skin.


    Hob has always loved to discover all the ways that make his lovers tick, and it's no different with Dream; apparently, though, even he can still learn something new about himself.

    Summary

    destieltilidie: … helen.
    destieltilidie: tell me this is not going where i think it’s going.
    destieltilidie: tell me this is not going the only place that would warrant a nonexistent code red.

    blacknight: well
    blacknight: do you want me to tell you that
    blacknight: or do you want me to tell you the truth
    blacknight: pick one, you’re not getting both

     
    The thing is that he knows he shouldn’t look. He opened it, it was password-protected and therefore not the paper he’d assigned, he closed it. End of story.

    Should be end of story, anyway. Normally it is, but this time his interest has absolutely been piqued; for one thing, he doesn’t think he’s ever been accidentally sent a password-protected file before, and for another, the password is his name.

    Summary

    “Oh shit,” he says, eyes wide. And then, “oh fuck,” as he’s scooting backwards as quick as he can, “sorry, sorry, I’m sorry,” because what else can you say when you realize, oh, that’s not just a version of your friend that your brain conjured up, that’s your actual friend, the anthropomorphic personification of dreams, in your actual dream. The dream where you’re naked and waiting for him to come be naked with you.

    Summary

    When a strange woman sometime in the 17th century tells Hob he's a High Priest, it doesn't take him all that long to figure out which God he serves - what else could his Stranger be but a God? That settled, he spends the next decades making sure their temple (the White Horse) is perfect, that his God knows Hob is devoted.

    So when his Stranger doesn't show up for their 1989 meeting, Hob doesn't take it laying down. Instead, he uses all the knowledge he collected over the years to summon his God into his temple - thus, saving Dream from Burgess, albeit unknowingly.

    What follows is a series of adventures as Hob joins Dream on his quest to find his tools. They may even discover something new about their relationship on the way.

His goals don't extend very far beyond playing some quality football on the scrim league, and becoming the world's first (and best) lycan astrophycisist.

    Then... he meets Dream.

    Summary

Holding the green rock of his necklace, he knows he can’t repeat past mistakes. He is here to serve humans, but that starts by knowing them. And who’s better for studying humans than a 650 years old immortal ?

    "-Grief is a weird and complex feeling. But isn’t it just love in the end ? If mortals cry the one they lost isn’t it just because they care ?"
