Summary
The Corinthian was left sitting in the alley, blood drying on his hands. If all he had wanted was to be in the waking world, he had gotten it. He could run off to wreak havoc upon the world until Dream found him again, but it was never about that. Sometimes, he thought, we run just to be caught. He picked up the knife he had dropped.
“My lord,” he whispered into the silence, clutching the knife tight. “I’m coming.”
In which Dream decides not to be a total dick and the Corinthian decides to save him.

Summary
Hob had first stumbled upon, and then been dragged into this whole esoteric business. The chance of sating both his wanderlust and his loneliness had been to good to pass, and there he'd gone - Faking it until he'd made it. Conning this secret society at leisure, posing as the immortal Count of St. Germain. For once, he didn't have to lie about his age...
... And their books let him search for an echo of his Stranger in their lines. He'd keep his distance, he swore. But the loss of the one place he could return to always, the distress of this place being a person-- It had hit him hard.
----
(Or, Hob Gadling learns first hand why you don't impersonate another immortal, the perils of cult mentality, and why calling your Stranger your North Star isn't platonic. Not at all.)

"Never thought you could be such a flatterer, y'know. Look, I won't say this was what I've dreamed of, but..." he shrugged. Like he could take away some of the weight keeping the air around them, so dense with tension. "I think I'll like being a dream. As long as I'm yours."
Wanting more is enough!
ok so this was a lot. such an interesting read and i loved how the author played around with the formats. which also made me confused as hell like half the time bc wtf was going on . id probably he able to follow this better if i knew some semblance of european lore but i dont and idont rlly care for it at all but im obsessed with the hob as hope concept as well as morpheus physically marking his soul as his . His north star good god. Whole thing ironically felt like a dream. Cheers

Summary
Cold. That’s all Dream could feel. Even if he wasn’t a human and as such didn't have human needs like feeling warm or breathing, being cut from the Dreaming and shoved in this mortal coil for four years was starting to take a toll on him.

Summary
It’s been said that a man’s word is as good as his bond. Back in 1789 Hob Gadling gave his word to his strange benefactor to be there, were the Stranger to ever need him. And to that word he’ll hold. Had it been up to him, Dream of the Endless would have never called for help, not from anyone. So perhaps it’s a good thing that it’s not up to him. For once a man’s word has been given, it is binding…
