Putting Out Fire With Gasoline by notallsandmen (notallmaenads)
Fandoms: The Sandman (Comics), The Sandman (TV 2022)

Summary
“You are late. I thought it was impolite to keep friends waiting?”
“We’re not friends. We’re not… anything. You’ve made that perfectly clear.”Dream does not get fishbowled and does turn up for the 1989 meeting, only to find that Hob does not appear.
Hob has not been not captured or detained; he just stands him up.
Or — what if Hob was a little less of a forgiving, patient cinnamon roll, and a little bit more of an salty bitch and went: ”You abandon me in the 1889, I will ghost you in 1989.”Inspired by Cat People (Putting Out Fire) by David Bowie

Summary
When Hell moves against the Endless, it is not the Dreaming the demons aim for, but Desire’s realm instead.
Dream helps fight back the invasion on his sibling's realm, but Lucifer leaves a cursed wound on him in the process. Dream does not know at first what the curse is, but soon he realizes he will need to resolve it soon, or risk the integrity of the Dreaming.
AKA - fuck or die, but less die, and more danger to the collective unconsciousness if it doesn't resolve.

Summary
One day, in spring, he comes to the Inn.
Hob looks up and he’s there, and the relief is blinding. He thinks tu m’as manqué, fuck, because you were missing from me feels more true than I missed you ever has. English missing was ruined for him the moment he learned the French way of it. Longing is meant to be a reflexive verb.
It would be a bad faith translation, even for him. He tells himself this is why he doesn’t say it.
He thinks at last, and that’s a doable one. So he smiles, says, “You’re late.”

In 1916, Hob is summoned by Roderick Burgess. One hundred and six years later, he is rescued by Dream. Soon after that, he finds himself in love and engaged to the King of Dreams and Nightmares, and now it's just happy days for the rest of their Endless existence, right?

Summary
“I’ll guard you for a night,” Hob says, “and say I please you, you can either pay me for a day’s work, or keep me on ‘til you reach where you’re going.”
“Do you know the way to Canterbury?” the lord asks, and Hob nods.
“Oh, yes. It’s a few days’ ride, not more than three or four, by my memory.”
“Then you shall have three days to please me, Robert Gadling.”
In 1389, known mercenary and bandit Hob Gadling offers to escort a strange lord to Canterbury, and wagers that he can guess the man's name in three days.

Summary
In 1689, Hob Gadling and Dream meet once more, after Hob has lost everything. That night, their meeting goes on longer than expected when the conversation turns to what it means to live, to lose, and to be the fathers of dead sons. Unable to bear the thought of sending a man who so echoes Dream's own grief back into the night alone, Dream breaks his own rule and invites Hob to stay with him for a time, at least until he can get back on his feet.
The story of two grief-stricken, divorced, and widowed fathers to sons they lost too young truly seeing one another and there, at their lowest point, doing their best to put themselves and each other back together.
