Summary
When Dream escapes his capture after more than 100 years - he seeks out Hob Gadling, only to not find him anywhere. Believing Hob wants nothing more to do with him, and with their meeting place destroyed, Dream returns to the Dreaming, despondent.
What Dream does not know - Hob Gadling contracted The Sleeping Sickness, and after not perishing, was captured to be experimented on and tortured.
When Dream finds out - he stops at nothing to not only deliver revenge on those who hurt his friend (and more, so much more), but Torment.

Summary
“Kneel,” said Dream.
Hob knelt before him. Dream pressed his own thumb to his lips and wet it. He took Hob’s chin in the other hand and tilted his face up. “Some do this with ash. To acknowledge death. Mortality. It would not befit you,” he said, and smudged his wet thumb in a sign upon Hob’s forehead. “Now you wear my mark,” he said.
“I have always worn your mark, my Lord,” said Hob.
“Then remember you are mine and to me you shall return,” Dream said.
On the look of stained glass, the smell of churches, the taste of your friend’s mouth, and the feeling of receiving a sacrament several centuries overdue. Or: the entirely accidental but inevitable divinity of Hob's devotion.

Summary
It’s the right day, but the year is all wrong, and Dream suspects that there’s something else not quite right even before he finds himself standing in front of the shuttered remains of the White Horse Tavern. Still, he’s chilled in a way he’s not accustomed to feeling, reminiscent of the hopeless, free-falling frost that climbed up his spine and inside his gut the day he was meant to meet Hob when he was imprisoned. And that’s what it is, he realizes, this cold feeling. Hopelessness.
Should Dream seek him out, would Hob welcome him as a friend, or turn his shoulder as he would on an intruder? It’s what he would deserve, Dream muses as he’s preparing to turn heel from the tavern’s closed gates, even though as he’s resigning himself to shame he’s also gearing up to make this his next mission, his next purpose: to find Hob Gadling.
Alternatively: Dream and Hob find each other in 2021, and see no reason why they have to wait centuries to see each other again. And again.

Summary
“However you have changed, Feng Xin hasn’t,” Mu Qing says bluntly. “He’s still—loyal to a fault. He’s as dumb as a bag of rocks, and he can never figure anything out or notice anything, but you fell in love with that, so you can’t fault him there. He likes to fight too much, but he’s also—so kind. Kind and loyal to all those who are lucky enough to be in his affections.”
(And he has never been all that lucky in the end.)
Jian Lan’s eyes widen as she stares at him.
“What?” he snaps.
“…I am no longer in love with him, but I think you are,” Jian Lan says finally.
