    -swearing (sorry...)
    -the crossover nobody asked for
    -a happy ending
    -me googling how to write "bibbidi-bobbidi-boo" properly
    NOT A ONESHOT ANYMORE. ARE YOU HYPED? I AM!!!
    -me googling an extensive amount of things

However, it's not the Devil that's in the basement, but his mysterious stranger. Hob is determined to save his friend. But when the plan goes awry, who's going to save him?

    Summary

    once he is done fussing with the raven that flew into his face, roderick burgess looks down at his new prize and feels his breath catch- for the first time, he understands the scope of what he is doing, feels the fragility of the divine cupped in his careless hands.

    death should have black wings, he thinks, absurdly clear in the moment- but they are black, with a green shine like an oil slick, each feather tipped in pale gold. a starling’s wings, but vast enough to lift a man in flight, unfolded on the floor behind his prize, pressing up against the very inner edge of the circle. he stares, imprints the gold lacing onto his vision, stars in an aurora-painted sky, and aches with all the things he is not.

    (dream of the endless has wings, and is made to suffer for this.)

    Summary

    On a summer's afternoon in 1989, Hob Gadling's apartment is visited by a white-chested raven with an invitation in its beak.

    ~~

    or: the quintessential fishbowl rescue fic, except I have no regards for canon and thought it would be interesting to examine what Hob's life might have looked like in the wake of Dream's imprisonment. Hope you enjoy!

    Summary

    Roderick Burgess steals a book from the library in the Dreaming in 1916, but it's not an ordinary book, it's a rather mischievous manual...Not the Ikea style though (I can't draw).
    This manual could be used as an example of really bad technical writing. But I must say that I've really enjoyed giving voice to my dark side by being progressively arrogant, condescending, droll, withdrawing important information, diving into absurdities (like the thing with font size and binding circle), referring the reader to a manual published in another universe, prohibiting any feedback, etc. Ok, I might have gone a bit off the rails here :D.

    Summary

    In the year 1916, Roderick Burgess attempts to summon and capture Death. He misses his mark by quite a way, but he’s never been one to waste an opportunity.

    Dream of the Endless was friend-zoned back in 1889. He does not get captured in 1916. The Dreaming remains in good order. He has never been more powerful.

    And in 1916, Hob Gadling is just a soldier, until he isn’t. Immortality, it seems, has its pitfalls.

    Oh, and The Corinthian? He’s having a wonderful time.

     

    It’s the “Roderick Burgess Somehow Got Hob Instead Of Dream When He Did The Summoning” fic that you didn’t know you needed.

    Summary

    I never really knew or can remember my mother. The only thing I know is that she's the reason I'm here in the mansion. She walked back to them with her tail between her legs, and handed over her only choice she ever made to herself.
    I am just like my mother.

    Summary

    In some other volume of Destiny's book, Death was the only member of the Endless present on that fateful June 7, 1389 in the Tavern of the White Horse in London.

    So while Hob still becomes immortal, there is no one there to explain to him how or why it has happened, so he has no one to attribute it to but himself.

    It’s a dangerous wrong impression to have.

    Summary

    “That’s not true,” said Farnese, “you’re a liar.”
    “I am the only part of you that is honest,” said the Ghoul. “The lust you feel for misery, the burning want for pain. The raging self hatred that desires above all to make everything suffer like you do. This is why you kill. This is why you murder. Monster.” Farnese closed her eyes, pushed her face into the dirt and held the back of her head.
    “No,” she screamed.
    “You’re pathetic, you’re weak,” said the ghoul.
    She was weak, so weak. Yet in her weakness she found something weaker than herself. Someone who needed Farnese more than she needed her. She wanted Casca to live and get better even if that meant losing any chance she had with the Black Swordsman. And in that moment, as the darkness within her bared its horrible fangs dripping with blood, she had a revelation. Strength wasn’t physical prowess or destroying evil. It didn’t come from glory on the battlefield. She didn’t need to become a better storm to strip the world of its terror. Power didn’t flow from authority or fear or violence. Real power came from taking something fragile into your hands and protecting it from anything that would break it.
