Summary
Dream has taken to hanging out as a cat around Hob, and developing ways to talk without spoken words, after his imprisonment in Fawney Rig. He has spent less time resting and figuring out ways to cope with triggers like breaking glass - which is a problem when two rowdy patrons of the New Inn argue and a glass breaks.
Dreamling Week 2023 (June 4, day 1): Meowpheus | Barfight | Catharsis | Lingerie
"Dream?" Hob calls into the alley. "Dream, duck, where are you?"
It's possible Dream's already retreated to the Dreaming, he thinks, but then he hears glass break, phantom wings, and he takes another step forward and into Dream's personal nightmare.

Summary
Dream has struggled with personhood and living for a good while now. It only grows more acute as his son Orpheus languishes in hospital, minimally conscious, after a grave injury from an act of violence. Hob Gadling does his best to ignite a spark of hope within Dream.
(This fic plays somewhat with verb tense and dissociative narration qualities on occasion for storytelling purposes.)

Summary
Dream and Hob, drifting closer and closer. A touch-starved Dream, constantly aching from the physical and metaphysical and mental pains of the last century and far beyond. Hob worries about Dream's physical and mental health. Lots and lots of space references and allusions.
(late entry for) Dreamling Week 2023, Day 7 (Jun. 10): AUs/Crossovers | Shooting star | Touch Starved | Monsterfucker
Dream is like a star, as untouchable and far from Earth as one; if he touches Dream, Hob thinks his vision would white out and his fingers would burn from the nuclear fusion of it. At first, he seemed cold, distant as the night sky, but now Hob knows he burns. There is so much beyond what Hob can perceive. Hasn't that always how it's been, though? Dream, against the stars, teetering on the edge of both forever and nothing at all.

Summary
Glass elevators, as it turns out, are not an ideal location for Dream to be in. Especially when they break down. Hob supports Dream through the resultant panic attack and flashbacks, and then holds Dream in his office.
Inspired by this wonderful art by inennui for Dreamling Week 2023, stuck in a glass elevator!

"I – I can't," the other gasps, shaking harder. Dream drops his head against Hob's chest, and Hob brings his hand up to stroke his hair. They stand there for a few minutes, and Hob whispers soft nothings into Dream's ears but his friend's breathing doesn't ease, and his grip is so tight on Hob's shirt the threads are liable to disintegrate.
"Let's sit down," Hob says, and to his surprise Dream simply goes with the motion, lets Hob sit down and then maneuver Dream so that he's lying with his head against Hob's chest.
