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.

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.

A Stranger In A Strange Land by Inferno_the_dragon_lord
Fandoms: Dragon Age: Inquisition, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
05 May 2021
Tags
Summary
The Devines had a sick sense of humor.
Malik Nagtus just wanted to spend the rest of his days in Skyrim, far away from all of his problems. Then he made a mistake when crossing the border, sent to get his head chopped off without a trial. But Alduin attacked, setting off the events that made him into the doom driven hero of Nord fairytales.
Only...
He never wanted to be the Dragonborn. Never wanted to fight Alduin, or Harkon, or Miraak, or other power-crazed maniacs and self-proclaimed gods. Never wanted to get involved with Deadra. Never wanted to become a guild master to practically every major guild in Skyrim. Never wanted to have to save Skyrim, or Tamriel, over and over and over again.
But the devines had it in for him. Or some Deadra was having a laugh at his expense.
And now, as he kneeled in a cold dungeon, surrounded by soldiers who viewed him as a Daedra from deepest pits of Oblivion, restrained and with a magically marked hand slowly killing him, he tried to think if a reason why the Devines were so angry with him.
He soon realized the list was long. And only destined to get longer by the way things were going.

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.

(Hob attempts to save Dream from the fishbowl. It doesn't quite go as planned - with some unfortunate consequences.)

Summary
Her debt to Hell is coming due. His heart might be the price.
Eighty-four years in the dark forged a bond neither of them wanted. The six years since all but destroyed it. But now Hell is calling in a debt and Andromeda is dragged back into the orbit of the Dream Lord who left her behind.
Somewhere between the Waking World and the Dreaming, between desire and damnation, they will have to decide what is worth the risk: his realm, her soul… or each other.

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.
