    Summary

    He doesn’t know why he does it.
    It’s perhaps the biggest mistake of all his 500 years on God’s green earth.
    But in that strange, treacle-slow moment on the wet street with the rain falling around him, with His Stranger’s arm shaking under his fingers - God, has he ever even laid hands on him before? Hob can’t recall - it seems like the only obvious course of action.

    Hob grabs him by the lapels of his black coat and drags him into a desperate, needy kiss.

     

    Or: Hob kisses His Stranger in 1889, and does nothing but regret it for the next 133 years.

    Summary

    “I have something to ask of you, my elder brother.” Dream began, without much preamble. “I do not ask lightly, nor frivolously, and in exchange, I shall gladly offer whatever boon or service you might wish to ask of me. It is a matter most close to my heart, for it concerns…”
    Dream paused. The words still held a strange weight to them that made them difficult to speak aloud.

    “..it concerns my soulmate, Hob Gadling.”

    Summary

    “Soulmates.” Hob says, simply, and it feels like old magic to speak it into existence, to forge the bond between them into words at last. “You and I are soulmates. And I think that you are lonely, that you need and miss me when we’re apart... just as much as I miss you.”

    “Soulmates.” The Stranger repeats, flatly, his sonorous voice barely a rumbling growl. “Hob Gadling, we are not soulmates.”

     

    Or: Hob has known that Dream is his mildly star-crossed soulmate since their first meeting in 1389, but believes they have a mutual understanding not to acknowledge it; Dream, meanwhile, was under the impression that the Endless have no soulmates whatsoever, up until their sixth meeting in 1889.
    Finding out they're wrong comes as a bit of a shock to both of them.

    Summary

    What would happen if Hob Gadling landed on Orpheus’s mysterious island in the year 1800? What would unfold if he befriended that sad, despairing boy who thinks about death but still carries a spark of life within him? What if Hob decided to nurture that spark, returning every five years to show Orpheus that life is truly worth living?

    After years of absence and avoiding his son, Dream of the Endless comes to ask Orpheus for help in finding his lost brother. He expects to hear a plea for death – because Orpheus begged for it for millennia. But this time it will be completely different – and it will be the King of Dreams who is shocked.

    After all – like father, like son, right?

    Summary

    Eddie Diaz.
    Ghosting bastard. Shirtless menace. Walking thirst trap.
    Looks him dead in the eye and says “nice to meet you” like Buck doesn’t have the receipts. Like they didn’t match. Flirt. Make plans.
    Like Buck didn’t get stood up in public, drink in hand, heart in pieces.
