Summary
"You came to the edge of Time and Night, at the borders of oblivion, to offer me the chance to undo my death and return to life?"
"Before I answer that question, I want to know if you're about to call me an idiot."
"I cannot swear that I am not," Dream says, with the faintest hint of a smile. "Even for you, Hob, this is dangerous. More than you understand. And yet," he adds before Hob can formulate a defence, "I am. Honoured. You should not have come, but..."
"But you're kind of glad I did, aren't you?"
(Hob Gadling attends the funeral of the King of Dreams. But that isn't where the story ends. It's only where it begins.)

Summary
Set during the events of Hob Gadling's trip to the Renaissance Faire in "The Wake".
Hob falls asleep at the Renaissance Faire and dreams of a beach. His dead friend, Dream, is there, as his brother, Destruction. Except Dream, it turns out, is not dead and Hob is not dreaming but is, in fact, really on a beach on the other side of the world.
This is a hell of a thing to have to explain to his (probably soon-to-be-ex) girlfriend.

Summary
While he's in the middle of being overstimulated and miserable at a wedding, Dream's meager attempt at finding peace is disturbed by the intrusion of a drunk man from the party across the way. But what first seems like a curse might actually be a blessing, as his new companion is inordinately charmed by Dream, anxiety and all.

Summary
"He does not wish your friendship, Hob Gadling. He wishes to bed you."
"He—" Hob cuts himself off, head tilting slightly like the new information needs just a second to process. Dream wonders when he began to find this kind of confusion more endearing than a test of his patience.
In which Dream begins to feel things and it goes about as well as you would expect.
