Summary
(AKA The human!Dream coffee shop AU that no one asked for.)
He almost misses the table in the back corner. Far from the front windows and veiled by a thin curtain of ivy, a single table calls to Hob from across the cafe. It's only when he approaches the corner that Hob realises that table is occupied. Small wonder he missed this detail the first time; the man seated at the table is dressed entirely in black, and he's looking down at an open book so Hob can only see a shock of black hair. Still, there's nowhere else to sit, and apparently none of the students are inclined to share a table with a man who looks like a raven in human form.
Hob clears his throat and puts on his best smile. "Excuse me, would you mind if I shared your table?"

Summary
Matthew had always appreciated the beauty of both men and women, though he had sort of assumed that would no longer be an issue after he died. Who could have predicted he would become a fucking raven and the assistant to the personification of dreams or whatever Dream was, or that Matthew would fall in love with the guy?

Summary
“To pledge honesty for love is an unpredictable path, where the possible reward is seldom worth the risk of injury on the way. You are a brave man, Hob Gadling, if also hopelessly naive.”
Hob just got dumped.
It's fine, nothing that hasn't happened before, but it hurts. At least he has a good friend to help him through it. But his friend is struggling with his own shadows, and is counting on Hob to help him through it, too, even if he won't admit it.
Perhaps this is an opportunity. Perhaps they can finally learn how to be better friends for each other. And perhaps, if Hob just plays his cards right, he will even get to figure out who exactly his friend is.

Summary
But he wasn’t in the Dreaming here. He was pinned to the incremental march of seconds upon seconds upon seconds that made up minutes and days and years. He was stranded in a form severed from the Dreaming. Like soil run through a sieve, the damned circle had held back the greater part of himself. He ached for it, for a form where he could simply choose not to feel the cold sinking into his bones, or the swimming haziness of air used up, or the hunger sweetly gnawing on the core of him.
--
The same capture & rescue fic everyone has written, but playing off two ideas:
- I wanted to see Dream’s physical recovery take long enough that he could begin his mental/emotional recovery before heading back to the Dreaming
- There’s a lot of ways to hurt an anthropomorphic entity without taking them out of their snowglobe- Language:
