Summary
In the summer of 1895, Morpheus Sanfin – poet, omega, and disappointment to his wealthy father – flees England on the heels of Oscar Wilde's imprisonment for gross indecency out of fear that he will be condemned for the same unnatural urges.
Seeking a new life in America away from the stifling hand of his father and the expectations of his sex, Morpheus sets out for California with Hob Gadling, a mustang driver who agrees to guide him, not knowing that along the way they will encounter natural wonders, the ghosts of their pasts, and perils that will force Morpheus to reconcile with both his sex and his feelings for his new companion.

While Jessamy observed, she planned. The glass wasn’t something she could break in whatever small span of time she might get, but the binding circle was just paint, and paint could be scratched at by a raven’s beak and talons.

Summary
When Hob Gadling made a drunken deal with a mysterious man in a pub, he didn’t expect anything to come of it. Waking up the following morning with a golden mark on his wrist was a shock, though less than finding out that he couldn’t die. Who had he made a deal with, and what did he want? His Stranger was far from forthcoming, so he’d have to figure it out himself. That his mark was not just a passkey to an underworld of supernatural beings but the sign that he wasn’t meant to spend eternity alone was enough to send him down paths he never knew existed and ask more questions than were answered. Who, or more importantly what was his Stranger, and did the mysterious man know who Hob was destined for?
(An AU where only immortals have soulmarks that mark their species/type as well as their partner, and Hob has something no one has seen before)

Summary
When Hob sees Roderick Burgess wearing a ruby he recognizes at one of the man's parties - he knows that his Stranger can't be far away, and might in fact be the rumored devil in the basement the man has.
After watching his friend take vengeance on Burgess and his captors, and after acquiring a name (and a position!) that he has been waiting centuries for, it's not weird that he has strange dreams, right? Even about castles, his friend, and a land called the Dreaming...
(Title is Latin for Justice)

his heart, beneath the floorboards by imnotcryingipromise
Fandoms: The Sandman (TV 2022)
12 Jul 2023
Tags
Summary
"I will revoke our deal," Dream threatens, before he can bite his tongue, his grief and frustration lashing against his insides like boiling water in danger of spilling. The cruel ultimatum echoes off of the cavernous basement walls.
"What did you just say?" Hob demands, aghast. He is trembling all over, his shaking hands falling from Dream's face defeatedly.
"You will leave me here. You will let me rot in this forsaken place, as I have for so long now, or you will age and die.”
***
Lieutenant Robin Stone attends an end of war celebration at the Burgess mansion in hopes of forgetting his ghosts for an evening, unaware of the familiar face entrapped beneath the floorboards.

Summary
No matter the timeline, no matter the world—he's Henry, he's Alex, and they always find each other. Sometimes it's messy. Sometimes it's slow. Sometimes it burns too fast, or aches too sweet. But it's always them.

Summary
"This one is a special case," Burgess says. "He is a war hero. Do you understand? You will be on your best behavior. You know what happens when you are not."
Two years into his imprisonment, and Dream of the Endless has not given Roderick Burgess what he wants. Yet if he cannot have back his son, then he will have whatever else Dream has to give, and sell it to the highest bidder: body, powers, and all.
Hob Gadling, newly back from the Western Front, has barely slept since 1889, and is desperate for any sort of relief, even that peddled by mad old men claiming to be warlocks.

Summary
Or the one where Billy frees Dream
This would be a twin to "Of Dreams and Magic". Another version if you will with many initial similarities but that splits into a whole different plot and outcome. Since I don't see myself able to do a second part for that one I chose to make a version with what some people asked to happen in part 2.

Summary

Hob is a BDSM club owner who has spent the last few years serving a single client, who he knows very little about, twice a year, always at the same time of year.
After their latest Scene turns sour, and they part angrily, enough time passes for both of them to realize how much they miss each other. And when a second chance arrives unexpectedly - both of them leap at the chance for more.
(Also known as: Model Dream, and BDSM Club Owner Hob. They have an Arrangement until it goes Tits Up and then they get together and figure out how to live Kinkily Ever After through their respective Trauma™️ and have ridiculously hot sex.)

Summary
He knew of Roderick Burgess. Every man, woman, child, and dog has heard of The Great Collector and his labyrinth of mythical creatures. Hob had never been rich enough to get invited to the shows and parties Burgess would throw at his mansion. Nor was he ever sneaky enough to attempt pretending he was a nobleman. But Hob knew what happened at those parties by observing others. Listening in on drunken rambles of the aristocracy who enter The White Horse to escape their totally miserable lavish lives.
What a bunch of cunts they are.
But again… a job is a job.
Hob Gadling becomes the new guard of an unknown creature hidden away in Roderick Burgess' dungeon.
But things aren't always as they seem.

Summary
Hob has been around death. Living in London throughout multiple plague outbreaks and fires, as well as making a living soldiering and dabbling in banditry, will do that to you. What he doesn't know is that Death has been around Hob as well. He has no idea that when his Stranger left him that night in 1389 after their first meeting, the woman who came up to him, laid a hand on his shoulder and said, “Good luck, friend,” was Death incarnate.
Hob doesn’t know that he is one of few things in this world that has been Touched by Death and lived. Had he known this, he might not have been as confused as he is when his body slams into the floor of a dim, candle-lit cellar and he finds himself surrounded by hooded figures and a gold circle on the floor. That is all he manages to perceive before everything goes blurry and consciousness slips away from him again.
Here in the Darkness.
*
Roderick Burgess' spell does not summon Death, but someone who has been touched by Death. Hob Gadling ends up in his cellar instead of Dream.

The first thing Hob notices is that he is sopping wet, the next thing is a stranger standing in his kitchen. Not his Stranger, another man.
The third thing he notices is that this man is absolutely furious.

Hob saves Dream, not everyone is really aware of that fact and still worries deeply. Well, one long lost sibling worries very deeply.
