Summary
"Very well," Dream said again, slower, savoring each word as he leaned back and deliberately placed his arms on the armrests of the throne, settling in for the spectacle. "Take your weapons. Whosoever emerges victorious will be… well rewarded. The defeated-" His smirk grew into a devious smile, his teeth just this side of too sharp, "Shall watch."

Summary
“Morpheus, sweetheart. My darling,” Hob murmurs, low enough that Morpheus can bear to hear it. That it feels like a gentle caress, rather than a slap. “You know you can't carry on like this, don't you?”
Hob conducts a plan to help his newly human Morpheus adjust to the concept of eating. It goes... pretty well.

Summary
Dream of the Endless makes a wager with his siblings: to live as a mortal among mortals. He expects it to be tedious, predictable, beneath him.
What he does not expect is to be wounded in ways that should not be possible, or to find himself stumbling, awkwardly but undeniably, into the strangeness of human life… and love.
Even the Lord of Dreams is not invulnerable. Sometimes, stepping into the unknown is the only way to discover who you truly are.

Summary
Hob laughs, walking off with his boots. "Thought so. C'mon, I'll get you cream from the bathroom, we can put it on your ankle before it gets worse. Do you want a brace?"
"It would be appreciated," Dream allows, limping to the kitchen. "How-"
He cuts off his own question, realising Hob has walked off too far to hear him, and sits down on the stepstool in wait. He closes his eyes, feeling tension evaporate from his shoulders as he sinks into the familiar smell of rosewood and scented freshener, the warm lights painted on the back of his eyelids, the thrumming of the room's heater running under his feet.
Or, Hob figures out a way to save Dream.

Summary
Hob leans back in his chair, a tight look in his eyes. “I think we both know why the divorce happened,” he says, a sharp edge back into his tone like earlier in the day. Except this time he seems to be painfully aware of it. “Gods, sorry.”
“No, you’re not.” Dream is surprised to find it doesn’t sound like an accusation.
Hob smiles and it’s back to being sad.
“No, I’m not.” He looks away. There’s a tick in his jaw muscle, like he wants to say more, but in the end he just sighs and stands up.
(Or: How Dream and Hob learn to heal, listen and love again.)

Summary
"I have never seen anyone lead a perfect life. The best any of us can do is enjoy what little time we have. And try not to ruin it for anyone else. And whatever mistakes you've made, or think you've made… maybe it's not too late to fix them."
Dream hums, contemplating Hob's words before he looks up at him with the vaguest ghost of a smile glimmering in his eyes. "And if I were to take your advice? To 'try and enjoy what little time I have…' Would I ruin it for you if I were to stay for another drink?"
"Never, my friend," Hob grins in spite of himself. "Why don't we go up to mine? I've still got that Chateau Lafitte."
...
There are many post-canon dreamling fix-it fics. This... is one of them.
Chapter 1 is a prelude of sorts, showing the rest of Dream and Hob's last meeting in the waking world. Subsequent chapters are set after the finale, before and during Death: The High Cost of Living.

Summary
“I am going to ask you for something. You have every right to say ‘no.’ In fact, you probably should, but I need to ask anyway.”
Six months after Hob Gadling said good-bye to his oldest friend, Morpheus, Death comes to him for help with an impossible task. It’s up to Hob to care for the freshly resurrected--and painfully human--Dream, help him restore his memories…and ultimately let him go all over again. For his part, Dream is just trying to figure out who he is, what he's supposed to do, and why the dark is trying to get him. The only thing that makes any sense is Hob and his kindness, and the certainty that that all Dream wants is to stay by Hob's side.

Summary
This story takes place in the waking world, or as mortals insist on calling it… the real world, as if the other realms hold no importance in their daily lives, in their choices, in their dreams.
To mortals and humans in particular the realms other than theirs are of no concern to them, their passage through the landscape of Grey Realm do not affect them, don't define them.
As if what happens to them, in them does not matter.
Black Winged Death was trapped in this version of All Seeing Destiny’s book.
Her wings are bound and the road to the Sunless Lands is concealed from her eyes, her Ankh stolen.She was alone and cold, even if time itself wouldn't bring her to madness, the silence and solitude hurt.
