    Summary

    Cōnsummāre,
    To perfect, to consummate.

    Cōnsūmere,
    To devour, to take wholly or completely.

    Turns out, shoving all of your repressed desires into a box lined with teeth will spectacularly backfire when eventually you have to open the box up again. Or, Hob Gadling demonstrates his ability to code switch and Dream goes off the rails a bit.

    Summary

    “I bet,” Hob starts speaking, and he just knows he’s going to say something he might regret later, “that you’d find my food appealing. I’ve had so much time to perfect my recipes.”

    Really?” Dream’s got that glint in his eyes. He sits up, drawing his feet back and leaning in.

    “Yes. One of these times I’ll invite you over, and I’ll cook for you,” Hob promises.

    Alright, Hob,” Dream says.

    “Deal? Damn, I’ll have to clean my place for you,” Hob laughs.

    ◉◈◉◈◉

    Death sets up her emotionally constipated brother and a peasant from the middle ages. Dream doesn’t care for peasants. Hob’s enjoying the benefits of immortality. Neither of them realize just how much they’ve been in each other’s lives. A slow-burn for the ages, featuring twink himbo Dream and a surprisingly emotionally mature Hob Gadling. Be forewarned: both of them are stupid--and in love.

    Summary

    Dream of the Endless makes a wager with his siblings: to live as a mortal among mortals. He expects it to be tedious, predictable, beneath him.

    What he does not expect is to be wounded in ways that should not be possible, or to find himself stumbling, awkwardly but undeniably, into the strangeness of human life… and love.

    Even the Lord of Dreams is not invulnerable. Sometimes, stepping into the unknown is the only way to discover who you truly are.

    Summary

    The first time it happens is in a dream.

    Which is, incidentally, why he doesn’t think much of it at the time.

    In which something apparently not much becomes something much more.

    Summary

    Dream was well aware of his flaws. People loved to tell him about them to his face.

    Why do you stand so stiffly? Can’t you act normal for five minutes? You’re so dramatic. You’re so arrogant. Why are you so quiet? You’re too romantic. You’re too cold. You’re too much. You’re not enough.

    You’re lucky you’re so pretty.

    He lost count of how many people told him that particular fact about himself.

    (Dream and Hob move in together, and Dream is desperate to never look anything less than perfect. After all, his looks are all he has.)

    Summary

    Everyone knows Dream can change his physical appearance at will, that he appears in different forms to different dreamers, but it’s still always been him. A change in form has never actually effected Dream beyond aesthetics.

    Until now that is.

    AKA: The Corinthian’s post rebellion plans to escape the Dreaming are interrupted by someone turning Dream of the Endless into an eight year old child.

    Summary

    Some of the Endless, immortals and probably the most dysfunctional family in the world, take a liking to the young people who will sooner or later bear the name Robin. But how will life be for them with the blessing of an Endless and is it really possible to be happy together with such gifts?

    Summary

    “You do not write with the others?” she finally asked him after three days of Hob reading the books in the house.

     

    “Sadly, I am not much of a writer. I print books and I read them. The goddess herself neglected to bless me with her words,” he’d responded, smiling up at her. She was wearing a beautiful, white gown, flowing gracefully down to the floor. Elegant white gloves covered her hands and arms, while her hair was intricately braided in what Hob assumed was inspired by the women of Ancient Greece.

     

    “Have you never tried before?”

     

    “A few times, when I was younger and far more arrogant. Wrote a poem for a—” Hob stopped short, not knowing how exactly to refer to his stranger. Was he a friend? A casual acquaintance?

     

    “A special person,” she finished for him.

     

    “A special person,” Hob said.

    Summary

    After escaping from Wych Cross, Dream turns into a cat and retreats into his own mind from the trauma, forgetting he’s not an actual cat, and ends up living on the streets as a stray, finding his way to the temple his friend has unknowingly built for him. Hob finds and adopts a miserable starved stray, not knowing it's actually his missing friend.

    E rating is for end of chapter 3 and beginning of chapter 5 only, if you want to skip those parts.

    Summary

    The moment Hob had stepped into the Burgess’ basement, he knew he was fucked.

    In front of him, the mere sight forcing his heart into his throat, is his Stranger.
    Encased in a glass sphere like a fucking Christmas bauble, he sits, arms wrapped around his deathly pale body in a heart-stopping rendition of an old Renaissance painting.
    As Hob continues to stare, drinking in the sight of his Stranger, horrified by the raw animalistic cage he’d been put in, the butler shrugs, “It’s been down here for years. The Boss’ old man, Rodrick Burgess caught it, and they think if we let it go, it’ll kill us all.”
    And they’d fucking deserve it, Hob thinks.

    Or...

    Hob takes a job at the old Burgess house, and comes across the one thing he wasn't expecting to find.

    Summary

    Even before his capture, Dream of The Endless had always longed for a loving partner whom he could share his eternity with, and when he finds that an unexpected turn of events may be the first step towards gaining that which he has been yearning for for so very long, he will do anything to make it a reality.

    So, when Alex Burgess unexpectedly flees after the death of his father, leaving Fawney Rig to crumble into disrepair, Dream had no idea that his salvation would come, not in the form of any of his siblings, nor by any feat of cunning on his part, but simply by the unprecedented arrival of a single mortal girl, one who would go on to forever reshape and change the very fabric of the Dreamlord’s endless existence.

    Warning! This story will get CREEPY AND DARK in places! Please pay attention to the tags listed above and read at your own discretion if any of them bother you!

    Summary

    In the summer of 1895, Morpheus Sanfin – poet, omega, and disappointment to his wealthy father – flees England on the heels of Oscar Wilde's imprisonment for gross indecency out of fear that he will be condemned for the same unnatural urges.

    Seeking a new life in America away from the stifling hand of his father and the expectations of his sex, Morpheus sets out for California with Hob Gadling, a mustang driver who agrees to guide him, not knowing that along the way they will encounter natural wonders, the ghosts of their pasts, and perils that will force Morpheus to reconcile with both his sex and his feelings for his new companion.

    Summary

    She had only been able to enter other's dreams two years ago, but she knew the rules.

    Don't interfere with the dream.
    Don't create anything in another's dream.
    Don't destroy anything in another's dream.

    But then she stupidly broke one of those rules and the Lord of Dreams does not take kindly to others messing with his domain.
