  3. Summary

    A collection of short stories about Dream and Hob's relationship, written on a whim by an author who didn't know they were writing all pieces in the same timeline (it's me, hi, i'm the problem it's me).

    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

    “To pledge honesty for love is an unpredictable path, where the possible reward is seldom worth the risk of injury on the way. You are a brave man, Hob Gadling, if also hopelessly naive.”

     

    Hob just got dumped.

    It's fine, nothing that hasn't happened before, but it hurts. At least he has a good friend to help him through it. But his friend is struggling with his own shadows, and is counting on Hob to help him through it, too, even if he won't admit it.

    Perhaps this is an opportunity. Perhaps they can finally learn how to be better friends for each other. And perhaps, if Hob just plays his cards right, he will even get to figure out who exactly his friend is.
