Summary
He stared at you, his critical gaze taking in your pitiful state. Abused for hundreds of years, flowers blossoming across your skin. This was much too cruel an outcome, even for him. Like a dying land, you to have had much taken from you and yet the human heart of greed knows no bounds. They take and take and take, not knowing when to stop. Or perhaps they never cared.
He once asked his sister why she left you to your gate; what stops her from taking you to your final resting place?
But Death smiles softly, gently, before taking Dream’s hand in both of hers.
Hope, dear brother. She smiles at him with patience and understanding. She still has hope.

Summary
I wanted to know how Berserk would end. What would happen to Guts, Casca, and their son. How all the characters would find closure. What sort of things this mad, difficult, beautiful story was saying.
Here's my ending to Berserk. In 2021, I wrote this to find out what would happen next. I found something out, at least. It ended up quite different from what Studio Gaga started publishing in 2022 (which I had no idea they would do while I was writing this). So, read on, and I hope you enjoy.
This work follows on Miura's last manuscript, Episode #364. It starts after Griffith has left the island (alone), when Guts and Casca are alone together for the first time in years.

He said: Keep them on the road.I said: What about my passion?
He said: Keep it burning.I said: What about my heart?

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.

or: In 1916 Dream of the Endless was captured by an amateur magician called Roderick Burgess. Trapped and with no way out, he thinks nobody is coming for him. What he doesn't take into account is that his raven will do anything to get him out, including asking for help from one Hob Gadling. -
From the shadows to the stars (I am yours whatever we are) by orphan_account

Summary
An AU of how Hob rescues Dream and becomes Hope, with a healthy dose of fluff, angst, violence, and good ol’ fanfic logic along the way.
Also the idiots realize the Pining™️ is Mutual™️
“It seemed as if it had pained the Stranger to say it: he had had his hands clenched and his ankles crossed under the table, a small nerve in his jaw (did he even have nerves?) had jumped as he had spat out the word friendship, and then, most of all, and most tellingly, the blue in his eyes had receded like the tide pulling out from shore, revealing an infinite void of darkness swirling with stars, his irises pulling them towards the center like a black hole in the void of space, full of hunger and pure, undiluted want. His eyes had only looked that way for a handful of seconds until the pale blue color had flooded them again.
Hob would give anything to see his eyes do that for just one more time, if only very briefly.
Hob had run after him, desperately trying to amend what he had said, because he had seen it, he had seen how his Stranger had felt, and now Hob felt as if the chance to do something about it was slipping through his fingers like the sand of an hourglass.”

Summary
"You dare…" Dream starts, he stiffens up, glowering at Hob.
"No. Look, I'm not saying–"
"You dare suggest one such as I might need your companionship?" He spits out pridefully, staring into Hob's eyes. Yet his anger does not impact Hob as Dream intended it to.
"Yes. Yes I do, but I have a very good reason to think that." Hob replies. Giving Dream a soft smile, ignoring his sullen gaze.
"And whatever would that be?" Dream hissed, turning his chin up slightly.
"I think you're lonely because I am too," he starts, Dream's eyes widen in shock. Not what he'd expected.
"And I've watched friends come and go, I've watched kingdoms fall. And I can't share my experience with anyone else, but you. You're the only constant in all of these centuries I've been alive, all of these lives I've lived. I always look forward to seeing you at the end of each one, even if I don't know your name, or what you are exactly-" he chuckles, and keeps going:
"But it doesn't matter, not to me, not as long… As long as you're here, every century. As long as you come back, it'll always be worth the struggle."Dream stares at him in disbelief.
