Summary
He’s not too proud to admit that he jumps and flails into a standing position, his phone clattering to the balcony’s metal floor, the podcast hosts still talking animatedly.
“Dream,” he says, hand pressed to his chest, willing his heart to stop racing. Dream watches him with that enigmatic gaze of his, lips pursed in what passes, on Dream’s face, for a grin. “You have to start learning how to knock, mate. I would have let you in.”

Summary
‘This is a casserole recipe,’ she said, not entirely sure what reply she was hoping for. Normality was a station they were rapidly departing, and if Morpheus said this was a joke, she’d derail this train trying to turn it around.
‘I require your assistance once more, Constantine,’ he said with all the gravitas of the time he sent her after a rogue necromancer.
Johanna does a few jobs for Dream when she needs to lie low. She preferred the detective hunts and the exorcisms; having her skills as a master occultist used to give potluck recommendations felt like employee abuse.
or
Johanna learns about Dream and Hob’s relationship and thinks it’s pretty wholesome.

Summary
"Hey boss?"
"Yes, Matthew?"
"You, ah, you know that human's down bad for you, right?" Dream frowned.
"He is ill?" Matthew squawked what must have been a laugh.
"No dude, he's in love with you," and though that was precisely what Dream of the Endless had expected, had somewhat hoped for, hearing it aloud had him pressing a hand against his mouth to hide the triumphant smile growing there.
"Yes, I am aware."Or: Dream becomes aware of his mortal companion's jealousy, and decides to find out exactly what the reason for it might be.

In the arms of Morpheus | Dans les bras de Morphée. by aalisse

Summary
Attraction to Dream of the Endless comes to Hob in a form of a slow, simmering fire. At times it burns brighter, other times it calms until it’s barely noticeable. It never goes away fully, partially because Hob doesn’t want it to.
His companion is the embodiment of hope and dreaming. It would be sacrilege to give up hope in being wanted by him.
_____
Death comes for a raven, and finds her brother. He doesn't ask her for help, but prevents her possible entrapment, so she finds Hob Gadling and suggests he do something about the situation at hand.
Cue a one man resque mission in 1926, which leads to dozens of years of platonic, yet vaguely romantic dating both in the waking world and in the Dreaming.Now with illustrations in the second chapter!

Summary
“From this time, there wasn’t a year he wouldn’t think about The Stranger’s piercing stare, the intensity in his eyes, the inhuman focus he had been granted with. Hob didn’t want to live his life to please The Stranger, but he wanted his focus on him to last. He wanted to show him what he himself saw in humanity – the beauty of life well lived.
And oh, his life wouldn’t be well lived until he tried everything it had to offer.”
Or: Hob Gadling has a lot of thoughts about his very long life and about certain mysterious strangers that want to keep meeting him every one hundred years in the same tavern.

Summary
Sokka takes a strategic step back, but he also smiles: triumphant, like he baited Zuko into exactly what he wanted. Like it’s a challenge. It’s the same way he looked when they sized each other up at the prison, with Sokka in chains that left red marks around his wrist, in tattered prison garb, malnourished and angry. Back then, that was Sokka saying: I see your power. I see you. Now, see me.
Zuko saw him then. And he sees him now; different, but the same. I see you.
Zuko lights his daos in flame. Sokka grins, back to gravel and heat. “Come on, Fire Lord. Impress me.”
Zuko burns. His vision flickers with fire. His heart races. His blood sings. His body is like a magnet, pulling ever onward to meet Sokka’s. He advances.
He pins Sokka to the wall, blades against his throat.
Or, Zuko found Aang first, Sokka and Katara were imprisoned in Boiling Rock for trying to rescue their dad, and all Sokka knows is he's pretty sure he's not supposed to think the Fire Lord is attractive but he's never let things like rules stop him before.

Summary
Sokka stays at the palace to be Zuko's advisor. They're both oblivious fools. This fic describes the years after the war they waste before finally getting together. Heckin' slow burn. Azula's there too.
This is Part Two, but I made sure Part One isn't necessary to read. But if you'd like to see Sokka realize his attraction to Zuko and struggle to contain himself while Suki good-naturedly laughs her ass off (canon-compliant), then check it out! Also some of the stuff about tallness might make a bit more sense if you've read part one.

Summary
It was a promise to Qui-Gon Jinn that had allowed Anakin Skywalker into Obi-Wan Kenobi's life. But it was Obi-Wan Kenobi who had allowed Anakin Skywalker into his heart.
OR (more accurately):
Five times Anakin had to ask for a story. And one time Obi-Wan offered it freely.

Summary
"The dark is generous and it is patient and it always wins – but in the heart of its strength lies its weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.
Love is more than a candle.
Love can ignite the stars."
Or, a few thousands of words of how Anakin, Obi Wan, and Padmé realize many things, which include, most notably, how they feel about each other and how to handle said feelings. Oh, and in the meantime, they deal with a megalomaniac Sith Lord.

Summary
Six months after the defeat of Darth Sidious and the end of the Clone Wars, the Republic - and the Senate - are only just beginning to get back on their feet. They've relegated most of their captured Separatist leaders to temporary exile on unremarkable outer-rim worlds, with varying levels of security to accompany them.
Darth Maul, surprisingly, has some of the least security measures of all of them. Maybe they didn't think he was a threat, debilitated without his forces. Maybe they didn't have the resources to spare so soon after the war; maybe they didn't deem him important enough to bother.
Maybe they simply forgot he was there.
He's beginning to think they did, actually, until someone shows up at his door.
