    Summary

    While Geralt is busy – accidentally – becoming Warlord, Julian is born amongst fear and whisper of war, screaming and crying. His future is bleak, he knows that, so he let himself be Julek while he runs in the streets of Lettenhove. Just another child, no one important, and decidedly not Julian son of The Viscount.
    This change things. Not everything. Jaskier will arrive at Kaer Morhen knowing his family gave him up without a second thought, and absolutely sure that the dreaded Warlord of the North will value him even less than his own blood did.
    However, he doesn’t need the Warlord to value him and he has every reason to fear him. Not because the Witcher must be a monster – anyone can be a monster these days – but because he has too much to protect. And he will. No matter the cost.

    Or

    "Jaskier came home one day and asked a question who changed the path of the ones he called family.
    Oxenfurt went to war to protect life and save hope four months later."

    Summary

    This is the Accidental Warlord and His Pack series, reorganized in an order that makes a little more sense. It's not precisely chronological, since some of the backstories are set well before With a Conquering Air, but it should flow nicely.

    Summary

    or: Dream of the Endless Goes To Uni

    When Hob spots Dream of the Endless in the front row of his survey course on 20th c. history, he could perhaps be forgiven for assuming it was out of curiosity, to study his new human boyfriend while Hob went about his weirdo human life, or maybe as part of some kinky student-teacher roleplay thing.

    It's not like Dream was there to actually learn about the 20th century that he just so happened to miss while imprisoned, right?

    Summary

    I am hope,” his Stranger says, almost breathless. “What kills hope , Hob Gadling?” his Stranger asks, but Hob knows what kills hope, he knew in 1689 and he knew in 1889, and he knew in 1989.

    Summary

    When Hob meets Agnes Nutter in the year 1600, she tells him these three things:

    Steareth clear of assuming friendship, even though thou dost feel assured of it.
    When thou arrivest at the horse with a carriage of iron pulled by none, thou shall waite in vain, but do not give up hope, for dreams will come to you when they are free.
    And lastly, a duck is more that it appeareth.

    How is that supposed to make any sense?

    Or alternatively: Dream is not the only encounter Hob has in a tavern (or around one).

    Summary

    The year: 2022. Hob Gadling faces a lecture hall of students and feels the world change. In another realm, Dream of the Endless makes a deal to save his sibling. For one year, another will hold Dream's memories outside of himself. At the conclusion of this year, both Delirium and Dream's memories will be returned.

    Until then, Hob arrives home to find an unconscious Endless in his bed, who remembers nothing of their meetings over the years, or indeed, anything at all. Hob cannot tell Dream anything, because Dream has rarely revealed any part of himself to his human friend. All they have are 6 meetings and a raven to get them through.

    At the end of their year together, almost everything has changed.

    Summary

    It's 2022 and Hob's got his Stranger back in his life. His Stranger, who's now his friend and who drops by more than once a century. Bloody fantastic, if you ask him.

    Though of course, it doesn't last. Dream disappears again; this time to fight the hordes of Hell that have invaded the Dreaming.

    Hob could just sit this one out, but hey- That doesn't sound much like him, does it? So he does what any sensible bloke would do, not that he's ever been one: sneaking into the Dreaming, hell-bent on fighting this war on Dream's side, where he belongs.

    Summary

    Hob goes into heat at every single one of his centennial meetings with Dream. It's totally a coincidence and nothing to do with them being true mates. Nothing at all.

    There are heats, there are ruts, there are tears.

     

    For who knows where the time goes?

    Summary

    While working on a new nightmare Dream catches wind of a strange sound one that can mean only one thing: Someone is dreaming of him.

    Curiosity gets the better of him and the King of Dreams finds himself investigating the odd occurrence only to find Hob Gadling suffering in a nightmare and begging for his stranger's help.

    This takes place like maybe around a decade after 1689, so Dream still has his luscious locks.

    Summary

    When Dream escapes his capture after more than 100 years - he seeks out Hob Gadling, only to not find him anywhere. Believing Hob wants nothing more to do with him, and with their meeting place destroyed, Dream returns to the Dreaming, despondent.

    What Dream does not know - Hob Gadling contracted The Sleeping Sickness, and after not perishing, was captured to be experimented on and tortured.

    When Dream finds out - he stops at nothing to not only deliver revenge on those who hurt his friend (and more, so much more), but Torment.

    Summary

    There's a daydream Hob's had since the late 16th century. It's changed form quite dramatically over the years, but the song remains the same- his Friend is in danger, and Hob steps in and dies to protect him. He never expected said Friend would find about about the daydream, let alone how he would react when he did.

    OR

    Hob has stopped thinking of "dying" as a thing that can happen to him, and thus it makes for interesting daydream fodder. Dream, unaware of this development, is Worried.

    Summary

    "I love your tattoos," Hob mimics, in an overly lovestruck tone of voice. He bats his eyelashes for good measure. "Do you have more? Can you show me? It's totally okay if you have to take off your clothes, by the way. I just want to appreciate the artistry."

    Dream fixes him with what is probably supposed to be a blank stare, but Hob can see the way he's biting back a smile. "Are you done?"

    "Painting for the day? Yes. Teasing you? No, probably not."

    Or the tattoo parlor/flower shop AU that no one asked for.
