dream hasn't gone this long without visiting him since whatever this thing was between them began. visits in the waking, sure; not quite thirty years into this new arrangement of theirs and hob's already gone years without seeing his friend in waking hours. there's never any real pattern to his visits – hob will spend a month seeing dream every other day and then not again for eight months. he's grown accustomed to that.
it's been two years of silence, now. and hob knows something's wrong.

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.”

Summary
Dream smiles, feeling his cheeks pulling up and his eyes crinkling at the corners. "You have an uncanny ability to make me feel small, in a way that nobody ever has before. You loom large, in my consciousness. You are so very… real."
"I should hope so, darling." Hob kisses him, just below his left ear. "I am real. As far as I know."
Dream feels sensations. This is mostly a good thing.

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.
AMAZING art by fishydwarrows!

i had a dream (i got everything i wanted) by Delta_Pavonis for winterbucky (winterbuckyy)

Summary
After over 130 years I have started to dream again. Real, tangible dreams, more than just wisps of smoke that dissipate when I breathe near them or sand that whispers through my fingers when I try to touch it. I used to keep journals like this all the time - I think they are packed away somewhere in one of my storage units - journals keeping track of my dreams.
As the Sleepy Sickness suddenly dissipates Hob Gadling starts dreaming again. And what he dreams is remarkable enough that he writes it down.

Summary
Hob has learnt to outlive just about everything and everyone, but there is a reason why he has never married or fathered children again.
He has learnt to love life regardless, but on this slow, sluggish December morning, Dream comes back into Hob’s bedroom as if he belongs here, two steaming mugs of tea in his hands, and Hob almost asks him to leave.
A nightmare, and the comfort thereafter.

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?

Summary
It's 2022 and Hob's got his Stranger back in his life. His Stranger, who's now his friend and who drops by more than once a century. Bloody fantastic, if you ask him.
Though of course, it doesn't last. Dream disappears again; this time to fight the hordes of Hell that have invaded the Dreaming.
Hob could just sit this one out, but hey- That doesn't sound much like him, does it? So he does what any sensible bloke would do, not that he's ever been one: sneaking into the Dreaming, hell-bent on fighting this war on Dream's side, where he belongs.

Summary
Loki, the third prince of Jotunheim, finds himself having to reluctantly escort the crown prince of Asgard and his companions around the palace of Utgard during the first visit to Jotunheim by Asgardians in a generation. Thor initially proves less arrogant and oafish than Loki had expected, but then apparently reveals his true nature with a demeaning order that Loki serve him in bed.
Loki feels that he has no choice but to comply with a smile on his face, as to displease Thor could mean that the Casket of Winters would continue to be held hostage in far-away Asgard. Loki is just as desperate to have it returned as his father, Laufey-king, is, even if their reasons for wanting it returned are different. Loki will acquiesce to being Thor's bedwarmer and anything else that is required of him as long as it means keeping the favour of the spoiled enemy prince.
And he has to admit to himself that he's not entirely opposed to being bedded by the golden-haired foreigner. However, the outcome is not what he would have wished for, and his problems with the prince of Asgard are just beginning.
