    Summary

    Dream, wounded and distanced from the Dreaming, flees to Hob Gadling's flat. Or more accurately, collapses on his carpet covered in blood. Hob takes care of him for several days, and revelations are had by Dream about both carpets and his love for Hob.

    (But listen: it is a very nice carpet, and Dream is quite fond of it. Truly perhaps it is the star of this fic).

    Title from "Across The Universe" by the Beatles.

    Summary

    Dream has chronic Hanahaki - a condition whose mechanisms are quite poorly understood - and prone to flares at inopportune times. Stress makes it worse. The stress of loving someone does, too.

    He doesn't think Hob will deal kindly with it. He's wrong, but it takes pain and panic to realize that kindness still exists.

    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

    When Hell invades the Dreaming, they lose, as they tend to do in Dream's own realm. But the invasion still leaves damage in its wake.

    Febuwhump Day 12: Semiconscious

    He wrenched his eyes open, with great difficulty, trying to look at the owner of that voice. There were stars in his vision, a whole starfield amidst spots of darkness. He could not see Hob. The stars wavered. The ground vibrated and dipped. Hm. Perhaps. More damage than he had thought? The heat of battle. Affected one's memory.

    "That means… Everyone's safe," he repeated vaguely, only no sound came out from it.

    Summary

    Desire of the Endless places a curse on Hob and Dream. One of them must choose to die, or there will be even worse consequences later. However, Desire's ulterior motive is something much different: force Dream to confess something he had no intention of telling anyone, about his deepest, darkest desires...

    Title from "Achilles Come Down" by Gang of Youths.

    Dream looks up at him, eyes starry and dark. He is the perfect story of grief incarnate, a tale struggling to come to its conclusion. Every story in the universe.

    "You would survive without me. I have let this go on too long," Morpheus murmurs. "I am not a person, Hob Gadling. I am a function. And if I cannot fulfill my function without misery, if I cannot give myself to the Dreamers as I should –"
