Summary
Hob Gadling had worked as a professor in London for some years. It had always been the same routine each semester, each day. Every day he returns to the same flat, the same deafening silence.
After several years at the university, Hob meets a strange colleague. Something feels familiar about him, but it is impossible that they know each other. Hob would have remembered the mysterious and shut-off stranger had they met before. He would know of he had run into the same emotional walls before as he tried to strike up a conversation with the entirely disinterested man.
Nevertheless, they cannot avoid one another as they continuously meet on campus. Neither can Hob deny that this stranger looks quite appealing from some angles. -

Dreams are often said to contain symbolism and hidden meanings. Nothing about dreams (or Dream) is ever literal. Hob Gadling is an expert at looking between the lines and finding the truth beneath the facade.

Summary
5+1 thing
Dream was terrified of scaring Hob away, so he navigated their relationship with the utmost care. He made sure to remain only what he should be, and nothing more.
Being immortal, Hob had only one person who knew all of him, and he would never accept losing that. He had to make Dream accept that his kindness was unwavering. He was also intent on making him understand that Hob wanted to know as much of Dream as Dream knew of him.

Summary
He knew Peter was an... anxious kid, to say the least. He knew he'd been through more than any kid deserved to at his age - or any age, really. He knew Peter wasn't used to being open about his powers, or his spider-manning, or just - life in general. But Tony had hoped that by now, after all they'd been through together, peter might feel a bit... safer, around him.
Alas, (really, Tony?) there wasn’t much he could do about that but stick around. Be supportive. Remind Peter he was there to talk whenever.
So, no big deals, no big worries.
Until, of course, the Big Deal happened.

Summary
“Kid…remember that documentary we watched on spiders the other day?”
Peter hums in agreement.
“When they, uh, when they’re pretty shaken up-” fearing for their lives, goes unsaid, “-they curl up, remember? They play dead, the death curl,” Tony explains, growing more and more certain as he talks.
“That’s what this is? How do we fix it? You said the threat was gone,” Peter asks, the trust he puts in Tony so apparent in his words.
“Well, I could always carry you back to the quinjet. I’m sure you’ll naturally just decompress on the way back,” Tony shrugs. He’s not entirely assured of his ability to support Peter’s weight at his age but he’ll grit his teeth and give it a go regardless. If not, he has a plethora of enhanced beings to choose from.
“You are not carrying me,” Peter says firmly.
Or: After a nasty shock in battle, Peter finds himself stuck curled up and has to calm himself down in order to regain mobility.
