    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.

    Summary

    "Oh…. Did it not go well? Are you out of practice?"

    "I am not!" Dream snapped.

    "Well, it has been a few thousand years since Calliope."

    "Desire…"

    "I could give you some help—"

    "No! I require no assistance."

    "Oh?" They leaned their chin on one fist and raised an eyebrow. "It seems I recall you asking—"

    "I mean, I do not require assistance with the specifics."

    "Apparently, you do."

    "I do not! It didn't… not go well." Dream looked into his coffee, which he'd taken simply to be polite but which was hot molton garbage in comparison to coffee from the dreams of the universe's master roasters. "It simply… did not go."



    Desire attempts to help Dream seduce Hob Gadling using ALL the surefire tricks in their arsenal. But Dream & Hob are nothing if not two ancient idiots set in their ways of horrible communication.



    Rated T for mild language and references to sex pollen and... like, sexy subtext. It's really more like G-and-a-half — mostly sweet, romantic fun(/consternation).

    "Tim." Dale hit his back, alerting him. "Tim!"
    Tim looked up, also widening his eyes. "Holy shit."

    or—Dale goes to see the comet with Tim.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The fix-it fic I needed after ep 2 let's just pretend Dale can figure it all out in time and accept himself and Tim didn't quit

    Summary

    "I love your tattoos," Hob mimics, in an overly lovestruck tone of voice. He bats his eyelashes for good measure. "Do you have more? Can you show me? It's totally okay if you have to take off your clothes, by the way. I just want to appreciate the artistry."

    Dream fixes him with what is probably supposed to be a blank stare, but Hob can see the way he's biting back a smile. "Are you done?"

    "Painting for the day? Yes. Teasing you? No, probably not."

    Or the tattoo parlor/flower shop AU that no one asked for.
