Summary
Forced into an impossible deception, a delicate servant named Rowan must impersonate his mistress, Lady Seraphina, in an arranged marriage to Gareth Thornwood, a formidable and barbaric frontier lord. What begins as a desperate bid for survival transforms into a genuine romance, as Rowan, in his veiled disguise, falls in love with his kind and honorable new forced husband.
But the lie is shattered when Gareth discovers his bride is not only an imposter but a man. The revelation leads to a night of trauma and betrayal, leaving Gareth heartbroken and Rowan banished.
Months later, a self-destructive Gareth, unable to forget the man he still loves, has Rowan found and brought back. Watched over by Gareth's pragmatic father and skeptical brother, the two must rebuild their bond, moving from trauma to trust, and from a marriage of lies to a partnership forged in painful honesty.

Summary
Hob heard about Roderick Burgess capturing the Devil about a year after it happened. When his friends wondered about it, he went to see for himself. In a whirlwind of events, he ended up breaking out his oldest friend and taking an abused child away from his home. An abused child Dream told Hob to adopt.

Summary
"This one is a special case," Burgess says. "He is a war hero. Do you understand? You will be on your best behavior. You know what happens when you are not."
Two years into his imprisonment, and Dream of the Endless has not given Roderick Burgess what he wants. Yet if he cannot have back his son, then he will have whatever else Dream has to give, and sell it to the highest bidder: body, powers, and all.
Hob Gadling, newly back from the Western Front, has barely slept since 1889, and is desperate for any sort of relief, even that peddled by mad old men claiming to be warlocks.

Summary
Magnus Bane receives orders to investigate what is a trapped warlock (or something demonic) in the basement of one Roderick Burgess. He isn't expecting to come across two creatures already planning a rescue of said captive. Even more than that - he isn't expecting the captive to be an Endless, of all things.
-
Hob Gadling, when a talking raven (named Jessamy) shows up to tell him that his oldest friend has been captured and needs his help, isn't expecting to get plunged into a world of magical beings, time travel, and more than his fair share of violence, but. For his Stranger? He would do anything.

Summary
Dream has spent seventy years trapped - unspeaking, near unmoving. He will not capitulate. He will not give in.
But that doesn't change that he can't help but dream too of a day of when he is out, able to return to his realm and function... freedom (in a sense) from this glass prison - though... his function... that overwhelming responsibility...
It doesn't matter... he may never get out... no one is coming... no one will help... he's alone. Even if he dreams of another world where that isn't true. It's fleeting, but he is Dream of the Endless.
And it's all he desires.
**When Roderick decides on using a spell, as a last ditch effort, to get his son back, he doesn't realize the catastrophic outcome of trying to force an entity of fantasy and reality, one with his own hopes and dreams of freedom, to conform - to create a son reborn.
AKA Roderick accidentally turns Dream into a two year old... and everything falls down from there.

Summary
Roderick Burgess has the Lord of Dreams trapped in his basement, but he won't talk or agree to the terms of his release. Morpheus is alone, naked and weak in his cage, so he can do nothing when Burgess gets an idea on just how to break the stalemate. The guards are willing to cooperate.
A difficult story of trauma and recovery.

Summary
Darby watches Ciampa shove Mark Briscoe's arm away, features twisting in a way he sort of recognizes. It's a feeling he hasn't gotten too close to, but right at the start when Jack became his thrall…
"Remarkable."
He slides a look at Merle, sitting beside him with a smile that, for whatever reason, raises Darby's hackles.
"What?"
"You, Mr. Allin..."
OR
It's been a while since Jack and Couric were restored to health. Darby's won and lost his title, the Perrys won and lost theirs, but more importantly: Couric is missing.
And, at least to Darby, yes: that's even more important than the incorporeal wraith hopping around AEW.

Summary
In the year 1916, Roderick Burgess attempts to summon and capture Death. He misses his mark by quite a way, but he’s never been one to waste an opportunity.
Dream of the Endless was friend-zoned back in 1889. He does not get captured in 1916. The Dreaming remains in good order. He has never been more powerful.
And in 1916, Hob Gadling is just a soldier, until he isn’t. Immortality, it seems, has its pitfalls.
Oh, and The Corinthian? He’s having a wonderful time.
It’s the “Roderick Burgess Somehow Got Hob Instead Of Dream When He Did The Summoning” fic that you didn’t know you needed.

Summary
He knew of Roderick Burgess. Every man, woman, child, and dog has heard of The Great Collector and his labyrinth of mythical creatures. Hob had never been rich enough to get invited to the shows and parties Burgess would throw at his mansion. Nor was he ever sneaky enough to attempt pretending he was a nobleman. But Hob knew what happened at those parties by observing others. Listening in on drunken rambles of the aristocracy who enter The White Horse to escape their totally miserable lavish lives.
What a bunch of cunts they are.
But again… a job is a job.
Hob Gadling becomes the new guard of an unknown creature hidden away in Roderick Burgess' dungeon.
But things aren't always as they seem.
