Summary
“That’s what you said to me, on that ship, isn’t it?” Anne watched him warily as he spoke, still not convinced he wasn’t about to piss her off. “That you couldn’t be my wife.”
“Yeah,” she answered, because it was the truth, even if it’d been over a year since then. She felt off kilter all of a sudden, her bright rage replaced with a suspicious wariness. She’d thought they’d gotten past this, past the days of bitter jealousy and Jack snapping like a kicked dog, but instead he was here, drunk half to death, and talking about wives.
“But sometimes, you still are.”
Jack takes after Charles more than he should, and Anne is left to pick up the pieces.

Summary
Hob has died maybe fifty deaths now, over several lifetimes. He’d been a farmer, once. Then a soldier. Then a merchant. A pressman. A knight. A peasant, then a noble, then a peasant again.
(Or, Hob just can’t stop falling in love with people)

Summary
The life and times of one Robert Gadling.
--Excerpt:
Hob ought to take the hint; he knows he should. A crystal-clear rejection of his friendship. Message received. But Hob Gadling didn’t survive plague and war, weather years of hardships and heartbreak and Thatcher-era Britain, without a profound sense of stubbornness about him.
Unyielding hope, however foolish it seemed sometimes, got him here. It’s why he’s still alive.

Summary
[In which the funeral of Roderick Burgess draws unlikely guests, Robert Gadling is stalked by a nightmare, an imprisonment is cut short, past wounds begin to heal, and old friends find solace with one another.]
Over a decade into his capture, Dream’s thoughts torture him as he longs for freedom from the cruel prison he has been trapped in. The death of Roderick Burgess brings unexpected promise and danger, however, as Hob Gadling is summoned to the funeral and finds himself catching the attention of a mysterious figure in dark glasses, unaware of his friend's captivity or the danger the nightmare poses. But when a chance conversation overheard in a nearby tavern leads Hob to fear the worst, the Corinthian makes him a suspicious offer regarding the being below Fawney Rig, dragging him into a deadly plot that means to break Dream’s spirit and accomplish what Burgess could not. Naturally, things do not go to plan, and the healing in the aftermath is not something they can accomplish alone.

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 is not within the power of Dream of the Endless to grant the gift of immortality.

That is, until he hears the name Robert Gadling.

Summary
Hob has to do a double take because Dream is crying; big, ugly, hiccuping sobs that wrack his skeletal frame to the point where Dream looks like a leaf in the wind. The raven that’d been following the man the last time they met— Mike or Martin or Matthew or something— pecks at the guys shoes.
The story of how Hob Gadling starts a pub, beats up a god, stares down Death, falls in love with Dream of the Endless, and amasses a small army of fidget cubes. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
“Oh shit,” he says, eyes wide. And then, “oh fuck,” as he’s scooting backwards as quick as he can, “sorry, sorry, I’m sorry,” because what else can you say when you realize, oh, that’s not just a version of your friend that your brain conjured up, that’s your actual friend, the anthropomorphic personification of dreams, in your actual dream. The dream where you’re naked and waiting for him to come be naked with you.
