In the arms of Morpheus | Dans les bras de Morphée. by aalisse
Fandoms: The Sandman (TV 2022)

Summary
Attraction to Dream of the Endless comes to Hob in a form of a slow, simmering fire. At times it burns brighter, other times it calms until it’s barely noticeable. It never goes away fully, partially because Hob doesn’t want it to.
His companion is the embodiment of hope and dreaming. It would be sacrilege to give up hope in being wanted by him.
_____
Death comes for a raven, and finds her brother. He doesn't ask her for help, but prevents her possible entrapment, so she finds Hob Gadling and suggests he do something about the situation at hand.
Cue a one man resque mission in 1926, which leads to dozens of years of platonic, yet vaguely romantic dating both in the waking world and in the Dreaming.Now with illustrations in the second chapter!

Summary
“It’ll be amazing,” Hob says, hoping to transfer his own excitement to Morpheus. “Think of it as an adventure.”
“An adventure,” Morpheus repeats, skeptical, but he’s smiling.
It’s not as if Hob Gadling hates his job as assistant stage manager at The White Horse Theater. It's a solid gig. But there is something missing in his life, and Hob’s itching to chase it down. As luck would have it, Dream—the bassist for the quickly rising band Endless—needs a new touring bass tech. Even as they initially butt heads, Dream captivates Hob, and he wonders what it is about the quiet musician that charms him in even their smallest interactions. It’s going to be a long ride, but Hob has never felt more eager for it.

Summary
When he falls asleep Hob, more often than not, appears at Dream's side in the Dreaming. This night he doesn't... well, not exactly.
That Hob had appeared outside the door suggested that Dream was inside the room. Inside the room and waiting for him. Hob couldn’t suppress his shiver. Dream was waiting with something behind that door and given the very nature of what they had created within that space… Hob shivered again.
Set sometime after Hypnopompia turtur

Summary
Sora wrote Riku a postcard for every world he visited.
Not having a way of sending them, he kept them in a small, white box, fully intending to give them to his best friend when he finally found him. But, he never got the chance and eventually, the postcards were shoved into the back of a closet, forgotten among the many mysteries of the Mysterious Tower.
At least until Riku decided to find them.
" Hey, what's this? " Riku asked, holding up a small, worn box.
Sore felt his heart stop. " Nothing! "

Summary
In the midst of Finals season - Hob has an idea for a Weapon Demonstration that should distract everyone, at least for a little while.
Dream isn't expecting to be handed a lightsaber. He also isn't expecting to enjoy wielding it as much as he does.
Hob, of course, has already staged a campus-wide fight for them, because sometimes, their enjoyment of swordplay can get a little out of hand.

Hypnopompia turtur by Delta_Pavonis for melinyel

Summary
Hypnopompia: the transitional awareness between sleep and wakefulness
Streptopelia turtur: the scientific name of the European Turtle DoveDream bided his time until Hob spoke, keeping both of them motionless as Hob collected his wits, gently petting his neck all the while, still stretched as it was over his shoulder. "Yes," Morpheus could feel the vibrations of Hob’s vocal cords under his palm as he finally vocalized his desires. It started soft, but increased in amplitude and confidence as he went on. "Yes. Yes, I want that.”
“Want what?” He had to be sure. “You have to tell me, lover.”
Hob moaned and shuddered again. He wasn’t sure he could voice it, but knew he had to. “Please, Dream. Please take me both here and in the Waking World. Please let me wake up filled with your cock.”
Occurs sometime after Eros in Pragma

Summary
In all his long centuries never had he really done something like this. It was exciting and terrifying and exhilarating and too many emotions all mashed together. He felt like his skin was vibrating.
Deep breath in. He could do this. He wanted to do this, desperately wanted to, a desire from deep in his bones. And yet… long breath out.
Hob walked over to one of his bedside tables and opened the drawer. There was only one item contained therein and he removed it with shaking hands.
The silver buckle jingled softly.
Direct sequel to To Worship on a Marble Altar.

Summary
There's a man standing on his doorstep.
Technically two men. One carrying the other.
"I am sorry," says the man who's standing. "I could think of no better place to bring him."
The other man, cradled in the arms of the first, curled up like a foetal doe with his long legs tucked up and his arms folded inwards, is Hob's stranger. Is Dream.
On a bright and unforgiving Sunday morning, Hob Gadling, having attended the Wake of his best friend, opens his kitchen door to find...his best friend. Changed. Alive. Human, and carried in the arms of the being intended to replace him. Given one month to decide if life is worth living, Hob and Daniel attempt to convince Morpheus of his worth at the same time as all three of them navigate their feelings for each other.

Summary
“I couldn’t just let him go,” Hob says, a little indignant.
“Why not?” Dream asks. His depthless eyes are fixed on Hob’s, like he’s searching for something in them.
Hob isn’t sure what that is; he wishes he knew. All that comes out of his mouth is the simple truth. “Because he hurt you.”

Summary
"I am willing to...pay...rent," Dream says, each successive word loaded with more uncertainty, until his voice has actually risen on the word 'rent.' Not quite a question, but as near to it as Dream is likely to get in this situation, which is rapidly becoming desperately uncomfortable (for Dream) and confusing (for Hob).
"Do you know how money works?" is the first question that pops out of Hob's mouth.
After making an ill-advised bet with his sister, Dream of the Endless is rendered completely human for one year. In need of a place to stay he turns to Hob, unaware that his oldest friend has been holding a torch for him for the past several centuries. Human experiences! Living life to the fullest! Overcoming depression! Food trucks!
It's going to be a long year.
