Summary
“Immortality. I get to live one lifetime at a time, and then this pulls me through, shoves me into another time, another world. Sometimes centuries later, sometimes before, and I keep running into you.” Hob shrugs, the ruby glowing in his palm, clinking against his ring. “Well, future you. I was born in the Year of Our Lord, two thousand three hundred and sixty.”
-----------------
Or, an AU where Dream and Hob have half-reversed timelines: in which they save each other, find each other, and fuck each other -- in exactly, and not exactly, that order.

Summary
Not all things were quite as they were told to be, and no one can know everything. Fate is a fickle creature, and sometimes you just have to trust the process. All good things start in pubs, and this was true enough for Lex Carter, but it was not where this story started- sometimes, after all, is it not better to start in the middle, with a mystery?

Summary
Calm down. Calm down. Breathe.
Dream doesn’t know where he is. He doesn’t care. All he cares about is trying his best to breathe normally as he huddles into himself.The problem that seems to be demanding his utmost attention at the moment is his annoying mystery affliction. This is the third time it has distracted him now. When the Corinthian mentioned Burgess– he couldn’t wrangle the spike of anxiety in his gut, and it made him lose control of the situation.
This can’t keep happening to him.
Why can’t he just focus? This thing, whatever was happening to him, it’s just some little nightmare that seems to be plaguing him.
Focus. He tells himself for the umpteenth time. Suck it up. Focus on the ruby. Once you get all your tools back and fix the damage you’ve done to humanity, then you can focus on whatever this is.
He tries to breathe. It doesn't work very well.
----
Dream goes on his quest for his tools, all while trying to handle his trauma.
(alternate title: i fuck up dream)

I am a bit late to EAD this year... got distracted by the Dreamling Bingo and Cyclone Gabrielle... anyway, here is the first of my offerings.
For 'Hob has been Archangel Michael all along' prompt. It's supposed to be a 5 times Dream didn't know Hob was Michael and 1 time he did thing... but so far only the first one has been done... because the Dreamling Bingo has consumed all else...
Do I needa do the EAD blurb? Y'all know what EAD is by now, right?

Summary
Nothing he doesn’t deserve, of course. He just wishes sometimes for something different. It’s too late now, of course. He’s at the end of his life, even in this nightmare state he can feel his heart failing, his lungs struggling. His body is losing its fight, and even if it were not, he’s trapped in eternal terror.
But that’s okay, he’s been afraid all his life. As he feels his heart stutter and stop, his awareness shuddering and blurring at the edges, he wonders if perhaps he’ll finally get to learn what peace feels like.

Summary
Roderick Burgess went fishing for an Endless.
When Dream rejects Roderick Burgess’s spell, it shifts targets. One Hob Gadling, touched by Death herself, is pulled through instead.
—
Hob was certainly aware of the supernatural, but he always kept it in his periphery. The beyond natural world that he does his best to avoid for all that he walks a half step inside it. The closest he got was once every hundred years in the White Horse, chatting with his Stranger, his mysterious man who is not a Man.
Yes, sure, he’s an immortal man from the 1300’s, but he spends his days with the worst and best of humanity. He doesn’t need to add demons and magic to the mix for him to find wonder and sorrow all on his own. He still has so much of the mundane to explore- to live for. Maybe, he always thought, he would get bored and start exploring the supernatural that seemed more his Stranger’s purview than his own. Perhaps in a few hundred more years.
Pity, then, that the supernatural came to him.

Summary
Roderick Burgess kidnaps Hob Gadling on June 7, 1989, intending to break both him and Dream. Instead, Dream being rather aggressively tortured triggers the knowledge of Hob's identity as Hope of the Endless, wrapped away in a mental box as they had been.
Dreamling Bingo square E3: Hob Kidnapped. Title from "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen.
Once Dream is tended to, a kettle of tea on, Hob – he's Hob again, he thinks, though he's also still Hope, but he's not winged and glowing anymore – slumps next to the bed in a chair.
This is … extremely not how he'd thought the week would be going. Two days ago he had simply been the immortal Hob Gadling. Dream starts mumbling something in unconsciousness, delirious.

Summary
Gabriel “Dreamweaver” Murphy is not in need of rescuing from a basement. Well, not physically. He got out of there, by himself, on some empty threats and the tattered remains of his confidence.
And he has no clue how to rebuild that without completely walling off the desires that led him to that basement in the first place.
He is also most certainly not looking for romance. Especially not in another basement. Especially not one dedicated to those same desires. And owned by one Rob Gadling.
