Summary
“So,” Hob says, sliding into the seat opposite, own mug in hand. “Matthew says there’s some sort of problem in the Dreaming?” It doesn’t seem like Dream can be drawn into small talk this evening: best to get straight on with it.
Dream sighs.
“Matthew is entirely too free with his words. And I would not call it a ‘problem’”
The story of how Dream of the Endless learns to love a little boy. And a man. And maybe himself too. Just a little bit.
All in the month of December.

The Weight of Eternity by Dreamer_2411
Fandoms: The Sandman (2017), The Sandman (TV 2022) RPF
15 Dec 2025

Summary
When Death makes a wager with her brother, Dream agrees to grant immortality to one mortal—Hob Gadling, a man too stubborn to die. What begins as a curiosity soon becomes something far more complicated. Through centuries of war, progress, and heartbreak, Dream returns again and again to the same tavern to find Hob still waiting.
But time has a way of changing even the Endless. Between their meetings, Dream watches from the shadows and the Dreaming itself, fascinated and infuriated by the mortal who dares to live so joyfully. As empires rise and fall and friendships deepen, the line between observation and attachment blurs.
This is the story of an immortal learning humanity, a mortal meeting eternity, and the fragile, impossible bond that threads between them—woven across dreams, centuries, and the quiet hope that one day, Dream might admit what he already knows.

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.

Summary
1989. Hob attends son Etranger, qui ne vient pas. Il pourrait renoncer, il pourrait attendre 2089 en faisant semblant que rien ne s'est passé, mais à la place, il prends la plume une fois tous les cent ans pour dire à son Etranger son amour pour l'humanité, pour la vie, et aussi, peut être, si on lit entre les lignes, son amour pour lui.

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.

Summary
Going broke was never something Hob Gadling had intended to do. In fact, with barely enough money in his account to pay for a hotel and a storage unit, he goes to have a pint with Johanna Constantine, who offers to put him up in the remote and mysterious Dream House, with a long and bloody history. And has been in the Constantine family for centuries, meaning that Johanna has the keys. Hob does not take much convincing. What could go wrong, really?
~
What started out as a Haunting of Hill House AU has now spiraled into so much more, as Hob navigates love, loneliness and his own psyche as he realizes he might not be able to trust his reality.

Summary
What was the saying? Ah, yes, dreaming doesn't cost anything.
Well, what if it turned out that the concept of dreaming was much more than a concept? What if it was, in turn, a man behind glass, and there was once a girl who tried to set him free?
That girl's name was Esther Carrasco, and it turned out that dreaming cost her everything.

Summary
I still almost couldn't believe it. Surely there are some immutable characteristics among all Corinthians? That we're blond, that we eat eyes, that we don't fuck women should be a pretty fucking foundational thing about me one would think. And one would be wrong, because I realized, right then and there, that Dream had meant to make me meek, and obedient, and straight.
A gift, for this fucking bitch.
Season 2, from the Corinthian's perspective. If you're bothered by his and Johanna's relationship then this fic is for you, because conversion therapy doesn't work.
