Stiles is a Private Investigator, only not really. He's also magical, but only close up. One thing he's really good at is lusting over people from afar, which is why it's a problem when Laura Hale hires him to help her brother.

Summary
When a man clad in all black walks through the door and admits Hob is his friend, Hob doesn't know whether to hug him or play it cool.
When it is obvious something happened, something terrible, Hob doesn't know whether to hug him or play it cool. Again.
In other words, Dream starts talking and doesn't stop. And suddenly these once a century dates are no longer once a century. More like once a week.

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
“An Endless?” Hob asks, softly, because it feels like a question that needs to be soft.
“That’s what we are,” Death responds, trying again for a small smile. “Me and D—”
“Don’t,” Hob interrupts, far stronger than he meant to, and Death looks surprised for as long as it takes him to get out, “Don’t, please. I-I want to hear it from him.”
Sympathy colors Death’s gaze even as Hob feels his face burn. Six hundred years, Hob thinks—he’ll be damned if he finds out his Stranger’s name from anyone but the odd man himself.
—
It's 1989 and Hob Gadling thinks he's been stood up. Death herself is kind enough to inform him otherwise—and, well, now Hob's got to bloody do something about it, doesn't he?

In the arms of Morpheus | Dans les bras de Morphée. by aalisse

Summary
Attraction to Dream of the Endless comes to Hob in a form of a slow, simmering fire. At times it burns brighter, other times it calms until it’s barely noticeable. It never goes away fully, partially because Hob doesn’t want it to.
His companion is the embodiment of hope and dreaming. It would be sacrilege to give up hope in being wanted by him.
_____
Death comes for a raven, and finds her brother. He doesn't ask her for help, but prevents her possible entrapment, so she finds Hob Gadling and suggests he do something about the situation at hand.
Cue a one man resque mission in 1926, which leads to dozens of years of platonic, yet vaguely romantic dating both in the waking world and in the Dreaming.Now with illustrations in the second chapter!

Summary
“Is that weird, Lan Zhan? We don’t even know each other that well, but I just feel like...I do know you.”
“You do,” Lan Wangji agrees, barely voiced. His heart hammers. “I want you to. And I…”
He almost tells Wei Wuxian he loves him, right there on the couch on their canceled first date, just barely managing to stop himself before the words leave his mouth.
Lan Wangji keeps his public self separate from who he is when he is alone. Wei Wuxian unwittingly smashes through that boundary. Surprisingly, Lan Wangji does not regret it.

Summary
"Do you have the cash?" A harsh guttural voice asks through the line, ending the question with a hacking cough.
"I have the fifty grand." Stiles confirms in a clear, concise voice, the total opposite of what he feels at the moment. He's like a lemming right before it takes a nose dive off a cliff. He's just hoping the waters below aren't dotted with sharp rocks, sharks, or, you know, guns.
"Excellent." The now wheezing voice says, a smile evident in his tone, "We've left the door open for you, Bertram will take your coat."
Or the one where Stiles is so far out of his depth, it isn't even funny.

Summary
“I’m not hungry anymore either,” Wei Wuxian continues. “I’ve decided that I don’t actually need to eat dinner. Who needs winter melon soup when bathroom tap water has such a deliciously sulfurous depth of flavor? Ugh—I can’t see anything, where are those damn towels—”
A paper towel is shoved into Wei Wuxian’s hand.
“Oh, thanks—”
“I do not think drinking that water is advisable,” says a voice that is definitely not Jiang Cheng’s.
Or, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji meet in a restaurant bathroom after they both go there to escape from their uncomfortable family dinner gatherings.

Summary
Allied Dixing turned a blind eye to any and all indiscretions committed by the foreign General Kunlun. The Black Robed Envoy owed Kunlun his life, so the Dixing forces would never speak against him. The Envoy defended his people with every power he had, and they followed without question.
They followed both the Black Robed Envoys, not that everyone believed there were two of them.

Summary
If Yunlan is going to learn how to make actual food that requires more effort than just boiling water and putting hot water into stuff, he’s going to have to take all the notes.
“Right,” he says to himself. “How hard can it be?”
He watches all twenty-two minutes and fourteen seconds of Chef Shen's video without fast-forwarding. When it comes to an end, he clicks on the replay button.
He ends up taking zero notes, and the only thing he manages to learn from the whole exercise is that Chef Shen -Shen Wei- is really fucking beautiful when he smiles.
