Summary
“For some reason that I have yet to understand, your dreams seem to be trying to bring you to me,” Dream eventually says, his voice a little too even to be casual. “Not only that, but the Dreaming allows you in; it is not something that should be possible.”
Hob turns and takes in Dream’s wary face. “Does it always look like that? So…”
“Desolate?” Dream offers, and his expression doesn’t change, but Hob can read the hurt on him, still. “No, it does not.”
After Dream finally finds him in the New Inn, Hob struggles to rebuild his trust that this—Dream returning—will always be the case. At the same time, the concern that something has gone horribly wrong grows through meetings, dreams, and details that Hob shouldn't notice but does; not that Dream is much more forthcoming than in centuries prior.
That's okay, though; if Hob has learnt one thing, it is how to be patient. Mostly.

Summary
He really is just as beautiful as Hob remembers him.
Something ethereal, made of alabaster and stone and as pale as clean snow. Hair both artfully and terribly messy, frame slim and lean in his black coat. His eyes are still that icy blue, dark and piercing.
His Stranger, his Friend, has come back. Several years late, but Hob is willing to forgive. Perhaps he shouldn’t be, he doesn’t know, but he is.
(Or, Dream and Hob finally get to really know one another. And maybe Dream needs more time to heal than he’s willing to admit.)

Summary
“If I thought for even one moment that you could be convinced to end this, to let go of it, then I would spend the rest of my days with you. But I know you won’t, you can’t, and if you swore to me otherwise it would be a lie."
A few months after it's all over, Silver returns to Nassau's interior to collect a few things from the house he and Flint sometimes shared and they meet again one last time.
(Written for a Tumblr prompt - "love confessions." Set between a possible end for the series and the events of Treasure Island.)

Summary
Flint glanced back to see Silver trailing his fingers over the cover with a feather light touch. It was the same gesture Flint had made himself time and time again.
"Only those who can no longer return to the physical warmth of their lover require a memento so often."
