    Summary

    Hob cannot believe what is happening to him. He’s almost positive this is a dream, or at the very least, not real, but if the fucking King of Dreams wants to make Hob– Hob!- his spouse, then who is he to argue? It’ll be far better than whatever he could have hoped for in the– real world? His world? He can't wait to find out.

    Or, Dream falls in love instantly. It takes Hob just a little longer to get there.

    Summary

    Utterly enraged by Dream's refusal to grant him his wishes, Roderick Burgess finds new joy in torturing his unwilling guest. If he can't get the Endless to talk, perhaps he can make it scream instead.

    That is, until his patience comes to an end and he gifts Dream to the next best person who comes along: Hob Gadling.

    Summary

    Tasked by their respective head offices to check out the horror in the basement at the dubious mansion of Roderick Burgess, Crowley and Aziraphale employ the services of immortal Robert Gadling. Who could have known that Robert is actually quite familiar with said horror, and not at all pleased to find him imprisoned? Lucky for Robert, both the angel and the demon make sure he doesn't get hurt, in more ways than one.

    Summary

    Mr. Robert Gadling may be tolerably handsome, of an amiable disposition and in possession of a good fortune (for a tradesman), but is it enough to tempt Morpheus, the 14th Viscount Amaranth? Will the months Mr. Gadling is to spend at the Amaranth country mansion as a result of a wager between the Lord Amaranth and his elder sister allow the unlikely pair to develop a friendship—or, perhaps, even a forbidden attachment?

    A series of rousing events involving balls, duels, play readings and meddling suitors lie between the Amaranth household and their return to town come winter—events which may forever change the viscount’s opinion on the merits of life in the country and, more importantly, on the balance between duty and the pursuit of happiness.

    Summary

    In one universe, one Roderick Burgess spent his waking hours threatening, bargaining and cajoling an unspeaking Endless whom he had trapped within this basement. He would spend the rest of his living years coveting for boons that weren’t his to possess

    In another universe, Roderick Burgess had an idea, and this idea became the tiny stone that started an avalanche altering the realities of this universe.

    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

    "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

    “I heard a rumor,” Mona purrs, elbows bracketing the steaming tea mug in front of her, delicate chin propped on her knuckles. “About a certain Roderick Burgess.”

    “Oh?” Hob picks up his cup of Earl Grey from the counter, taking a sip. “What might that be?”

    “Apparently, he’s captured Death,” she replies as Hob chokes on his tea.

    ----

    Summary

    While the guards took their stimulants and were careful not to dream, the rest of the household had to sleep. Servants and family, guests and partygoers all slept in the numerous suites, tucked under covers with heads cradled by goose-feather pillows. The deepest, calmest sleep only his ruby could provide collected into a thin trickle of dreaming - not strong enough to carry him home but strong enough to keep him hopeful. Strong enough for Morpheus to close his eyes and let his mind slip away in the current, if only for a little while…

    There was only one mind he knew on this mortal plane, only one place he could end up, after all.

    ...

    Wherein Hob dreams of war, Morpheus dreams of an escape from his prison, and over the span of many years, they fall into dreams that blur the lines between friendship and something more.

    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.
