What happens when Mildred Pentangle and Ethel Hardbroom meet at Camp Walden for girls? A Hicsqueak Parent Trap AU.
---
Pippa gingerly picked up the picture by her bedside. She remembered the day so vividly. Her hand had fidgeted nervously around the ring box in her pocket all evening, returning to it time and again just to reassure herself it was still there. Hecate had chalked up her distraction to fears about motion sickness on their first night on the Queen Elizabeth 2 ocean liner, and the usually quiet brunette had taken to describing all the activities aboard ship that they could explore over the week to preoccupy her mind. She could still remember the feeling of Hecate tracing soothing circles on the back of her hand as they stood along the deck of the ship, a light chill in the air drawing their bodies closer together as gold and red fireworks sparkled before them, and wondering whether Hecate could hear her heart thrumming with excitement in her chest.
Glancing around the dark room, emptied of Hecate’s things, her family torn apart, Pippa wondered where it had all gone wrong.

Summary
Hob cannot believe what is happening to him. He’s almost positive this is a dream, or at the very least, not real, but if the fucking King of Dreams wants to make Hob– Hob!- his spouse, then who is he to argue? It’ll be far better than whatever he could have hoped for in the– real world? His world? He can't wait to find out.
Or, Dream falls in love instantly. It takes Hob just a little longer to get there.

Summary
“Is that why you missed our meeting then? Some fucker had you in a cage?”
There’s a slight growl in Hobs voice as he has to speak his friend's fate aloud, he expects him to again be amused by Hobs anger but he simply looks away towards the window with no clear expression.
“…perhaps.” There’s no real intonation in his tone and Hob feels a brief stab of anxiety over what that could mean.
