    Summary

    Hob was not a list person.

    But when he found himself in a situation he didn’t understand, the first thing he did was attempt to make a list of things he knew.

    One.  He was dreaming.  Sort of.
    Two.  He was a cat.

    This was going to be a very long day.

    Summary

    Hob could have and did count himself fortunate that the wounds he'd taken at Third Ypres entitled him to a three week home leave. That was more than time enough to meet Death here, at the gates of the place they held his....friend. Here, in the last stretch of a plan that had arisen in swiftness, there was one moment of foreboding that led him to turn to her.

    "Are you ready?"

    "Are you?" Death's question was calm, and her manner was likewise. Calm and confident but then she was Death herself, so what did she have to fear?

    "Damn right I am."

    Summary

    On a rainy day in the Dreaming, Dream of the Endless watches the dreamfolk doting on Daniel Hall, and wishes he could be someone small enough to be loved.

    Hob Gadling has waited a long time for a chance to be closer to his stranger. This isn't the way he ever imagined it happening, but he does love nothing better than being surprised.

    Summary

    Hob wakes up most nights crying. It’s the dreams that get him: dreams of a face, porcelain-smooth and impassive, eyes the shifting blues of a gas flame, or a nebula. The creature in his dreams is not a god, but it is the only thing Hob could ever worship. The creature in his dreams is Endless. The creature in his dreams is dead.

    Summary

    The Stranger hesitates, and does something Hob would not have believed possible. He stammers. “I- I do not remember. I came to and was being pursued.”

    Hob notices the older man approaching, but is shocked as his voice rings out, addressing them both, “My dear boy, I am so glad we have found you.” He observes the situation warily; the only reaction from his friend is subtle, the smallest recoil.

    “Who exactly are you?” Hob asks the man.

    “Why, I’m Paul McGuire, and I can’t thank you enough,” the man looks at Hob’s ID badge, “Dr. Gadling, for finding my nephew.”

    Hob’s eyes narrow, as he flatly asks, “Your nephew?”

    ***

    Hob’s life is forever changed when his Stranger literally stumbles back into his life, amnestic and hunted, and he must use the skills gathered over an immortal life to evade their pursuers. They soon realize that bits of memory are coming back to Hob’s Stranger, through the power of literature. They are slower, however, to recognize that the most important story to explore may be their own.

    A love letter to books, libraries, and the stories that make us, and allow us to change for the better.

    Summary

    Lord Morpheus is the eldest child of the Earl and Countess of Endless, an ancient family hiding huge debts behind a fine name. As an omega, Morpheus cannot inherit his father's title or the family's ancestral home. His function is simple: secure a match that is both socially advantageous and financially viable, thus securing the future of the estate and the title of Earl of Endless for his offspring. The family believe that their troubles are solved when Morpheus dutifully (if reluctantly) becomes engaged to his wealthy cousin, Patrick. However, all their carefully laid plans are thrown into chaos when Patrick drowns on the ill-fated Titianic.

    Now Morpheus is navigating treacherous waters of his own and discovering how tight the ties of family loyalty bind him. Will the charming and handsome Duke of Crowborough prove his saviour? Or will the wealthy yet odious Sir Roderick Burgess ensnare Morpheus in plans of his own?

    Meanwhile, the family’s new chauffeur, one Robert Gadling, is muddying the waters of Morpheus’s existence even further- where is the line between a servant and a friend? Can Hob help Morpheus see that life exists beyond the confines of family and function?

    Summary

    “But how does he?” He swirls his glass, looking at it. “Handle it, I mean. Does he at all?”

    “It’s his purpose,” Death says like it’s obvious. “His function. He was built to handle it.”

    Hob laughs in disbelief. “Have you met him?”

     


    Dream is gone until he isn't. Hob handles both just fine.


    Just fine.

    Summary

    He accumulates names to himself as others make friends, but he permits himself few friends.

    It's not often that Dream grants blessings, but for you, he'd do all that and more. It's a sweet kind of doom.

    Summary

    "This mouth," Dream says, deadly quiet. "It's mine, isn't it?"

    It’s always the softest words which ring uncannily in the pin drop silence. The Corinthian feels a glove of dread clawing up his throat.

    "Y-yes, Dream.” His thoughts sputter as they form. “Of - of course -"

    “And my mouth didn’t just lie to me, did it?”

    -

    The Corinthian fucks up the second chance Dream's given him. Crosses a line, but tells himself it's fine - he just has to hide it from Dream.

    Vows to do so, at all costs, because he has Dream now - he's living with him.

    But it's not easy hiding something from your creator when he lives with you. When he can sense something's wrong, and punish you until he forces it out of you.

    The Corinthian spends a lot of time begging and getting nowhere in this fic.

    Summary

    A chance encounter in the woods sees Temiquiliztli (Dream) claimed by the god Quetzalcoatl (Hob) as one of his true priests. Unfortunately, when the god insists they travel to the heart of the Aztec empire— the great city, Tenochtitlan — for him to observe his creations more closely and experience life as one of them, they could not have anticipated the dark plot festering at the heart of the city and which would ensnare them. Not everyone at the temple of Quetzalcoatl is who they seem and when Hob’s true nature is uncovered, not only are the god and his priest in danger, the whole world might be as well.

    aka a deep-dive of Mexica culture and lore meets dynamic reversals, naga monsterfucking, and our favorite mutually self-sacrificing, pining idiots

    Summary

    Dream of the Endless is surprised when one day the Fates arrive unannounced in his realm. They are not alone, either, for they bring with them an unconscious child goddess on the verge of fading into oblivion after her followers were slaughtered by a power-hungry monster. The Story-Star is a wandering goddess of storytelling formed from stardust by the dreams of children, and the Fates inform Morpheus that the girl would technically be his responsibility. He can either care for her or (having no followers left in The Waking to sustain her) The Story-Star will fade into oblivion as forgotten deity. The King of Dreams and Nightmares certainly wasn't going to tell the Fates no.

    (Summaries are hard, but I plan to post every other week for as long as I can manage it!)

    Summary

    There was a strange tension, a tangle of unspoken words that made their being together an anxious waiting for something inevitable to happen. The small wound on his forehead burned, impatient for what still had no name.
