    Summary

    What if, when they meet in the twenty-first century, Hob is a little more human, a little slower to forgive, and Dream a little more cognizant of how one should treat centuries-old friends, though no more socially competent?

    Or: Dream's admission that Hob is his friend prompts a realisation of what else Dream's longest - and only - friend means to him.

    [alt: hob learns of the origins of his immortality and reacts accordingly, six hundred years really is too long to learn a name, Death is the best big sister, and Dream grovels (just a little). and then they kiss and make up, because of course they do.]

    Summary

    "Dream," Calliope whispers, her face drawn with the same shock the Endless feels.

    The man's name ricochets off of the modest apartment walls. The singular word threatening in its utterance to tear them all apart.

    He watches the moment register on Hob Gadling's face.

    "Dream?” the name falls in dreaded repetition from the mortal’s lips, his eyes grow wide with understanding.

    "You know each other?"

    Summary

    Once upon a time, when she'd been but a young girl, a skinny beanpole of a thing with arms and legs too long for the rest of her, she'd made the mistake of wandering into a fairy ring. Too young to know better and too curious to care, she'd gone into the woods for a bit of fun.

    When she'd skipped out of the forest three days later, her hair – four shades darker than the strawberry blonde she'd had going in – plaited with all manner of vines and bright blossoms, they had been horrified. She couldn't understand why; the flowers were more beautiful than anything she'd ever seen growing in the woods.
