    Summary

    “You were trying to discourage me… from propositioning you?” Dream repeats, bewildered. 

    Hob sighs, and spreads out his hands. “I think we need a little background, here.” 

    -

    Basically, my 1489-Hob-made-himself-look-unfuckable-on-purpose magnum opus. Inspired by the great Tumblr Hob fuckability debates of 2022.

    Summary

    Hob had fought Lucifer, as Dream’s champion, with his bare hands, rushing in where angels would fear to tread, heedless of anything but the desire to protect.

     

    This is the story of how Hob Gadling, ordinary immortal sort of hopelessly in love with Dream of the Endless, unfortunately, makes himself a Knight of the Dreaming (and a Boyfriend of the Dream Lord). It starts when he gets into a fist fight with Lucifer.

    Summary

    This time, Dream’s imprisonment takes more from him. Upon escaping, he finds himself unable to move on. He is tired, even after regaining his tools and power, and cannot understand why he’s unable to shake off the effects of his time imprisoned.

    After Death suggests finding Hob Gadling, he finds The New Inn but does not walk inside. The idea of seeing the cruelty he has suffered first hand reflected in Hob is too terrible for him to bear, and so he returns to The Dreaming.

    After some prompting, though, he begins to visit Hob’s dreams. Somehow, he finds a safe space there in the company of his friend.

    ———

    [in which: Dream is miserable, everybody is worried about him, and Hob’s fairly sure his Stranger has been visiting his dreams but has no proof to back that up.]

    Summary

    Hob Gadling was halfway through his third drunken karaoke rendition of "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" when he learned that he had a husband.

    A husband who was apparently trapped in a jar.

    In 1389, Hob married a man in his dreams, a lover conjured only by his imagination -- or so he thought. Five hundred years later, a mysterious ransom letter has Hob questioning everything he knew about his dream husband, who coincidentally disappeared from his dreams seventy years ago.

    Several miles away, trapped in a glass bowl, said husband is really regretting letting his marriage be only a story in dreams.
