Summary
“He doesn’t waste time, he tackles the man out of the way, he goes down hard, weighs more than Ryker would have thought, and he barely dodges out of the way of his arms before the man can get a hold on him. He rolls off and starts sprinting across the parking lot.
“Ryker!”
A name.
His name.
He doesn’t have a name at the Farm, just a number.
He spins around to look at the man.
And it’s Ortega.”
-
What if Step actually called Ortega when he escaped the Farm a second time?

Summary
"I am willing to...pay...rent," Dream says, each successive word loaded with more uncertainty, until his voice has actually risen on the word 'rent.' Not quite a question, but as near to it as Dream is likely to get in this situation, which is rapidly becoming desperately uncomfortable (for Dream) and confusing (for Hob).
"Do you know how money works?" is the first question that pops out of Hob's mouth.
After making an ill-advised bet with his sister, Dream of the Endless is rendered completely human for one year. In need of a place to stay he turns to Hob, unaware that his oldest friend has been holding a torch for him for the past several centuries. Human experiences! Living life to the fullest! Overcoming depression! Food trucks!
It's going to be a long year.

Summary
There's a man standing on his doorstep.
Technically two men. One carrying the other.
"I am sorry," says the man who's standing. "I could think of no better place to bring him."
The other man, cradled in the arms of the first, curled up like a foetal doe with his long legs tucked up and his arms folded inwards, is Hob's stranger. Is Dream.
On a bright and unforgiving Sunday morning, Hob Gadling, having attended the Wake of his best friend, opens his kitchen door to find...his best friend. Changed. Alive. Human, and carried in the arms of the being intended to replace him. Given one month to decide if life is worth living, Hob and Daniel attempt to convince Morpheus of his worth at the same time as all three of them navigate their feelings for each other.
