Summary
"I have spoons in my flat," Hob added, feeling a little reckless with the surge of probably-unneeded adrenaline. "Loads of spoons."
His friend raised his eyebrows at that, and jerked his hand away from the spoon on the table, but he didn't follow it by walking out, so Hob hadn't gone too far.

Giving Sanctuary by Avelera for Steerpike13713
Fandoms: The Sandman (TV 2022), The Sandman (Comics)
07 Jun 2023

Summary
In 1689, Hob Gadling and Dream meet once more, after Hob has lost everything. That night, their meeting goes on longer than expected when the conversation turns to what it means to live, to lose, and to be the fathers of dead sons. Unable to bear the thought of sending a man who so echoes Dream's own grief back into the night alone, Dream breaks his own rule and invites Hob to stay with him for a time, at least until he can get back on his feet.
The story of two grief-stricken, divorced, and widowed fathers to sons they lost too young truly seeing one another and there, at their lowest point, doing their best to put themselves and each other back together.

Summary
just fuck around and find out, i guess
(Dream of the Endless is the entirety of the human subconscious distilled, and as such, Dream is very used to knowing what people want. There are wrinkles when Hob, most perfect of beings, doesn't want anything, in particular. This is a character study focusing on a particular flavor of trans hesitance regarding the physical body, using Dream as a vessel.)

Summary
"I could stand to see you more often," Hob says, a little bit hesitant, and Dream’s eyebrows nearly rise into his hairline.
"That is truly what you wish?” He’s looking at Hob like he’s an enigma wrapped in a riddle, which is funny coming from a not-quite-man whose name he only learned last year after six hundred years of meeting.
In which Dream agrees to visit Hob more often and neither of them quite know what they're getting into.

Summary
Completely unintentionally, Hob found he had opened a small outpost of his Temple to Dream of the Endless; students on their knees on the prickly blue carpet squares, while Dream reclined in front of them, being petted ceaselessly, receiving stories as offerings.
Hob's students absolutely love the cat that haunts his office.

Summary
“I’ll guard you for a night,” Hob says, “and say I please you, you can either pay me for a day’s work, or keep me on ‘til you reach where you’re going.”
“Do you know the way to Canterbury?” the lord asks, and Hob nods.
“Oh, yes. It’s a few days’ ride, not more than three or four, by my memory.”
“Then you shall have three days to please me, Robert Gadling.”
In 1389, known mercenary and bandit Hob Gadling offers to escort a strange lord to Canterbury, and wagers that he can guess the man's name in three days.

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
“You sleep in a bag.” It sounds more ridiculous when Dream says it.
“It unzips,” Hob replies, feeling weirdly defensive. “It could just be a blanket, I mean, if you want to crawl under it with me, but… yeah.” He shrugs, and he’s sure it doesn’t escape Dream that he’s colored a little, high up on his cheeks. Mercifully, it looks like Dream has decided that’s a good look on him. “It’s comfy,” he continues. “Feels nice.” He frowns a tiny bit. “Surely you’ve gathered as much from rifling through my dreams of the last few centuries?”
Or, Hob takes Dream stargazing, and winds up being a) thoroughly railed, and b) the landscape.

Summary
A different take on Dream's capture; Dream's POV.
It is a unique horror to suddenly have a body.
Weak spasming, wet trembling, shivering vertigo.
Most creatures experience it only once, at birth, screaming, weeping, and blessedly forget soon after.
It would have no such blissful balm.Series

Summary
Matthew figured that Endless are just Like That and getting the fuck beat out of you isn’t that big a deal to the average more-than-god-like being. Lucienne informs him that Endless are not, in fact, that indifferent to damage and the palace staff take pains to ensure their boss holds still long enough to recover.
In which a bunch of people in Dream’s orbit notice that he’s Not Well.

Shen Yuan's first thought is, cool cool cool, glad to be fucked over by omega hormones again, never mind that he’d been ill for so long in his first life that he’d had maybe three shitty irregular heats before his body noped out of that.
His second thought is: HOLY SHIT OMEGA SHEN QINGQIU IS CANON???!

Summary
Graves remembers one of his father's colleagues saying to him once, a little too loose-lipped from firewhiskey, laughing boisterously and smacking him on the back, at the time referring to his sour old high society wife.
“It’s love, or it isn’t, old boy!”
Graves was quite sure that in his case, it was.
