Summary
Hob had been watching Morpheus Endless for a long time now. And he was going to approach him tonight, after the ball.
This was a dangerous dance, he knew that well. Expose his secret to the wrong person - utter ruin, his good name forever tarnished. Imprisonment was a possibility. Death, if he was really unfortunate. But if Morpheus turned out to be the right person to receive such secret... The reward was impossibly high, outweighing the risk in Hob’s foolish mind.
Because he wanted Morpheus. Even if it was wrong. Even if it killed him.

Summary
“I bought you quite more than your drink, in 1689,” Dream countered, the turn of his lips and pinched brow suggesting he hadn't yet decided whether to be offended.
“And I’ll never forget it,” softer, real, Hob promises, until overtaken by a shit-eating grin. “Which sufficiently made up for the time before that when I barely got three words in before you walked out on me altogether to go make a decent playwright out of Will fucking Shaxberd.”
And there was the preening, subtle though it was. An elegant eyebrow twitched upward as at some amusement. “You would fashion me in your debt, Hob Gadling?”
“Nah. I’d see you Tuesday.”
A beat passed filled with genuine consideration, enough to make Hob’s heart leap, his weight shifting forward in his seat. “Tuesday, then.”

Summary
Two years after the impossible death of his friend, Dream of the Endless, immortal history professor Hob Gadling is consumed by a grief so profound it manifests as paranoia—a world suddenly filled with observing ravens and creeping shadows. Seeking a distraction from his six centuries of loneliness, Hob enters a London rare bookstore, Oneiros Books, only to come face-to-face with the dead. The proprietor, Morpheus Oneiros, is the absolute spitting image of Dream, but wears jeans and an old jumper, and is purely, maddeningly human.

Summary
When Death makes a wager with her brother, Dream agrees to grant immortality to one mortal—Hob Gadling, a man too stubborn to die. What begins as a curiosity soon becomes something far more complicated. Through centuries of war, progress, and heartbreak, Dream returns again and again to the same tavern to find Hob still waiting.
But time has a way of changing even the Endless. Between their meetings, Dream watches from the shadows and the Dreaming itself, fascinated and infuriated by the mortal who dares to live so joyfully. As empires rise and fall and friendships deepen, the line between observation and attachment blurs.
This is the story of an immortal learning humanity, a mortal meeting eternity, and the fragile, impossible bond that threads between them—woven across dreams, centuries, and the quiet hope that one day, Dream might admit what he already knows.

Summary
Friendship does not come to him easily..
Dream understands the general shape of it. He can see the lines of it when it draws others together. A part of him must know what it is. It is in the gentle lushness and golden light of Fiddler’s Green; it echoes when Matthew and Mervyn laugh, raucous and bright, in the library; it even shines from the warm note in Lucienne’s voice when she chides them for the noise. These are all parts of himself. Infinitesimal components of his vast entirety. This means he must know how it works.
It has to mean that.
(Aka: the classic "how they get together" fic. Aaka: two character studies stacked in a fic shaped trenchcoat.)
