Summary
The end of the world as we know it shouldn’t spill coffee on his thrift-shop slacks and struggle with eye contact. Or maybe that’s exactly how the end of the world should look. Bruce Wayne has a series of interviews with some guy named Clark Kent. It’s extremely professional and at no point does Bruce torment him because he’s secretly Superman.

Bookmarker's Notes
Omg, it's finished <3 One of my favourites. I think 29 is the latest chapter I haven't read. Saving this for a rainy day/if the Sandman mood hits me again.

Summary
The meeting in the pub lasts longer than either of them expect, and Dream lets slip a couple of vague facts that give Hob more information about his friend than the previous six centuries put together. He learns that he’s something of a king (which isn’t a surprise) and that he missed their appointment because he was trapped somewhere (which is). The rest is cryptic and reluctant, but when Dream implies that everyone he’d ever known had either assumed he’d abandoned them or been too busy to come help him well—
Furious doesn’t quite cover it.
AKA: What to do when your mysterious friend who might also be a god doesn’t realise they feel betrayed.

Summary
“I bought you quite more than your drink, in 1689,” Dream countered, the turn of his lips and pinched brow suggesting he hadn't yet decided whether to be offended.
“And I’ll never forget it,” softer, real, Hob promises, until overtaken by a shit-eating grin. “Which sufficiently made up for the time before that when I barely got three words in before you walked out on me altogether to go make a decent playwright out of Will fucking Shaxberd.”
And there was the preening, subtle though it was. An elegant eyebrow twitched upward as at some amusement. “You would fashion me in your debt, Hob Gadling?”
“Nah. I’d see you Tuesday.”
A beat passed filled with genuine consideration, enough to make Hob’s heart leap, his weight shifting forward in his seat. “Tuesday, then.”

Summary
After the disastrous 1889 meeting, Hob Gadling turned to the occult to find a way to contact his stranger and apologize. Yet despite becoming a fairly adept occultist in the process, Hob ultimately lost his nerve and never cast a single spell to contact Dream.
Unfortunately, that was not the end of the matter, when Hob's dabbling brought him to the attention of Roderick Burgess, who is now convinced that Hob is a fellow Magus, capable of convincing Dream to give Burgess the gift he gave to Hob all those centuries ago: immortality.
Now, Hob must use wits, magic, and a great deal of charm to convince Roderick Burgess he is indeed an ancient, powerful Magus who wants nothing more than to help Burgess become immortal too, if he is to get himself and Dream out of Fawney Rig.
