Summary
Shane pulls back, carefully cradling Ilya’s face. “Maybe we shouldn’t.”
“You don’t want to?” Ilya’s eyes are bottomless; swimming with grief. He says it like he really means, You don’t want me?
“That isn’t what I mean,” Shane says gently, brushing his thumb over Ilya’s cheekbone. Ilya’s eyes flutter shut, as if being treated so tenderly causes him physical pain. Like he isn’t used to it. “You’re hurting. I don’t want you to regret it in the morning.”
Ilya’s eyes open. “I have never regretted a moment with you.”

Or: the missing hotel room scene in Florida after Shane comforts Ilya.

Summary
“Did it hurt, Your Majesty?”
“Excuse me?”
“Did it hurt?” Alastor repeats, leaning closer with a leer.
“Did what hurt?” Lucifer replies, thoroughly perplexed. He tries to remember if he’d done anything that might be considered painful, recently.
Alastor’s grin turns mean—sinister, even, as his voice crackles with static. “Why, when you fell from Heaven, of course!”
—
Alastor gets cocky about harassing Lucifer, flies a little too close to the sun, and they both learn some things about themselves.

Summary
"Is this the first time you've been able to try some of these things? The things you might like, I mean. You seem like you're still figuring some of that out."
Dream opens his mouth to reply and then closes it again. There's a long moment where he seems conflicted over what he wants to say, and when he speaks, Hob knows that he's hedging. "I am very comfortable with you."
"I'm going to take that as a yes."
In which Dream and Hob navigate the ins and outs of their new relationship and learn something about themselves in the process.

Summary
"I could stand to see you more often," Hob says, a little bit hesitant, and Dream’s eyebrows nearly rise into his hairline.
"That is truly what you wish?” He’s looking at Hob like he’s an enigma wrapped in a riddle, which is funny coming from a not-quite-man whose name he only learned last year after six hundred years of meeting.
In which Dream agrees to visit Hob more often and neither of them quite know what they're getting into.

Summary
"Excuses," Hob says one day, pointing a pen at Dream just a little bit accusingly. "I'm making a list, and we're going to figure out what you like whether you like it or not."
The absurdity of the sentence doesn't seem to resonate as he scrawls "Dream of the Endless, Likes and Dislikes" in careful cursive across the top of a page.

Better to love whether you win or lose or die by WitchyBee

Summary
The life and times of one Robert Gadling.
--Excerpt:
Hob ought to take the hint; he knows he should. A crystal-clear rejection of his friendship. Message received. But Hob Gadling didn’t survive plague and war, weather years of hardships and heartbreak and Thatcher-era Britain, without a profound sense of stubbornness about him.
Unyielding hope, however foolish it seemed sometimes, got him here. It’s why he’s still alive.

Summary
"Indeed, for centuries Hob had woken often enough to find himself spent in the sheets, the taste of rain still in his mouth, thinking with some embarrassment that he had just had another bloody wet dream about his pale stranger, a cold and aloof companion who would surely balk at any suggestion of such relations spawning between them. It wasn't like Dream had seen fit to give any indication, during their once-a-century meetings in the waking world, that he had spent countless hours getting fucked in Hob’s dreams. And since he hadn't bothered to reveal his nature until after the whole matter with the wizard and the cage, Hob had spent most of his life without privy to a…fullsome understanding of their relationship."
Dream and Hob have sex in the Waking world for the first time.

Summary
“You know what kept me going, century after century?” Hob is angry enough, desperate enough, that his voice drops low, quiet. “Even when I had nothing?”
The music around them crests, waves crashing against the unyielding shores of time –
“Chimneys,” Morpheus answers, bland.
Oh, what a bastard.
--------------------
Or, dreams are memories, Hob reflects about life, and Morpheus learns a thing or two about what it means to be saved, and to be loved.

Summary
Over the centuries, Hob had dreamt plenty of dreams about his friend from the tavern. All good dreams, of course.
Very good dreams.
Usually not dreams that featured either of them wearing very much clothing.
But until the talking bird told him otherwise, he hadn't considered that those dreams might be real.
(Featuring: a live Jessamy, Hob rescuing Dream from the fishbowl, a mess to clean and a happy ending.)

Summary
So, either it was a trap, or it wasn’t. Either he went, or he didn’t go.
A two-by-two decision matrix.
If it was a trap, and he went, he’d have to fight. Probably at a disadvantage, given that Viktor would seize the opportunity to ambush him. If it was a trap, and he didn’t go, he’d get to spend a beautiful Sunday morning holed up in his office, tinkering with a project. If it wasn’t a trap, and he went, he would very likely save a life. And if it wasn’t a trap, and he didn’t go, he’d have to live with the fact that he’d killed his old friend by inaction.
Risk assessment was so damn hard when it was Viktor on the line.
