Great Triumphs and Tragedies by Avelera

Summary
Dream learns that from 1689 on, Hob's life has been safe. Too safe. Improbably safe. Nothing bad or extraordinary or even terribly special has happened to him since Dream began to consider Hob his friend. Dream knows this because during his imprisonment, Hob's life became exciting again and suddenly went back to normal the day Dream was freed.
Hob is not convinced that Dream is the reason for this. Dream disagrees. They talk about it. And fight about it. And some things that they've probably needed to talk about for a long time finally get said.

Summary
Hob usually dreamt about all the things that were still out there, unexplored. He dreamt of sailing and flying and strange inventions. Sometimes he had nightmares, altered memories of past wars, or dead loved ones. They were always heartbreaking, but this one, this particular nightmare, was different.
More than a hundred years after "the friendship incident" in 1889, a nightmare had the sheer audacity to haunt Hob, leaving him waking in cold sweat night after night.
A nightmare with pale skin and black hair and a face like his mysterious stranger's.Bookmarked by SoundOfTheForrest

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.
Set in my Delulu land 'happy retired Dream' au. Population still: me (and you)

Summary
She took the job at Shelby Company Ltd. because she needed to survive.
Not to fall in love.
Certainly not to raise a child.
And definitely not to be cradled like something sacred by Tommy Shelby, war-hardened crime lord turned very soft (but still terrifying) man.But then came—
• A stormy night with too much whiskey
• A ripped dress, a fainting spell, and a baby bump nobody was supposed to see
• The wrath of the Peaky Blinders (spoiler: it’s very bloody)
• A quiet promise from a man who doesn’t make promises lightly: “No harm will ever touch her. Not one breath.”This isn’t just a love story.
It’s survival.
It’s healing.
It’s Tommy Shelby with a baby in his arms, reading bedtime stories in his terrifying war voice.And she’s finally learning what it means to be safe.

He’s never met anyone like her.
She’s never been safe enough to fall in love.Until now.

At the 1589 meeting, Hob is unwilling to let his stranger’s attention wander so easily. Not after Hob held off on his own marriage just for the chance to ask for his stranger’s hand instead.
Dream does not take this proposal well. Disgusted by how Hob has squandered his immortality with the vulgar pursuit of wealth, he sets out to prove that Hob could never hope to endure the horrors of courting the King of Nightmares.
OR
That time Hob pissed Dream off so badly it started a sex competition between them in the Dreaming. With both of them too proud, pissed off, and horny to back down, things get weird very quickly.

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.
