Summary
“So,” Hob says, sliding into the seat opposite, own mug in hand. “Matthew says there’s some sort of problem in the Dreaming?” It doesn’t seem like Dream can be drawn into small talk this evening: best to get straight on with it.
Dream sighs.
“Matthew is entirely too free with his words. And I would not call it a ‘problem’”
The story of how Dream of the Endless learns to love a little boy. And a man. And maybe himself too. Just a little bit.
All in the month of December.

Summary
Part way through his quest to find the chapel of the Black Knight, Sir Robert and his bard encounter a very angry giant who is hell bent on destroying the nearby town of Shrewsbury
A 'missing scene' from my fic, Sir Robert and the Black Knight, but can probably be read just fine without reading that first. This is a short retelling of the Legend of the Giant and the Cobbler, but Dreamling.

Summary
His words are not having the intended effect. They are bringing Lucienne no comfort. Perhaps.. He swallows slowly, fingers twitching. In the countless years of her service, they had so rarely touched. Morpheus had built up walls around himself and she had always been respectful of his space.
This was a gulf of Morpheus’s own making. Lucienne would never bridge this gap between them- but… he could.
---
Several years after the events of s2, Morpheus and Lucienne meet again.

Summary
---Having had confirmation from his lover that he rather liked (“Did not mind”) period pieces, Hob set out indulging him with a carefully curated selection of mid-90s BBC dramas, mini-series, and films of the requisite genre.
Pride and Prejudice was all well and good, and they would get round to it, but it wasn’t a patch on, say, Middlemarch… and for epic scale, the adaptation of Ken Follet’s The Pillars of the Earth couldn’t be beaten.---
Morpheus and Hob enjoy some movie nights together (or mornings, when they should have been unpacking in their new home) only Hob has a *slightly* ulterior motives for choosing the shows that he does.

Summary
Crowley's a busy demon, and he's got a soul quota to fill. He'd just rather be filling it somewhere with better weather and better wine than London.
This temptation was meant to be quick and easy: instigate a tavern brawl, pick up a new recruit for Hell, and then set off sharpish for warmer climes.
Shame his plans are about to get derailed by two Endless walking into a bar...

Dream of the Endless has always had powerful enemies. Lucienne has not always been good at staying out of trouble. Sometimes the universe sees fit to speed along the inevitable.

Summary
Hob is not entirely surprised by Dream's appearances while he sleeps, these days. He's never going to make the mistake of taking the luxury for granted, but it has stopped feeling so entirely foreign, the presence of another living creature in his flat, usually lurking around like an oversized crow waiting for Hob to wake up.
This morning, however, Hob senses something troubling outside of the general eerie that Dream supplies to the every day. The flat is usually silent even when occupied by Dream. He seems to move without stirring the air, like the human plain of existence isn't entirely sure what the rules are. Even when he handles things like cups, spoons, the sound is muffled - nearly delayed. But this is different. The change in the atoms is palpable even to Hob's rudimentary senses. He gets out of bed hurriedly, smelling ozone and char. Distress.
"Dream?" He asks. There is no answer, but an awareness in the quiet that does it for him. Progressing into the living room, Hob stalls when he catches sight of Dream. His breath leaves his ribs as if knocked out by the buck of a stallion. "Oh shit-"

Just a silly thing where Dream seems to be a diva that won't leave the stage, lol. Comments welcome!
