Summary
Hob hadn’t planned to confess his immortality to anyone, but it had seemed the right thing to do at the time, and he turned out to be very grateful for it one day as he and his most knowledgeable student knelt on the floor of a classroom beside the smoldering body of a demon, trying to hold down a writhing, shapeshifting creature that usually masqueraded as Hob’s man-shaped lover.

Bitter Retribution by aliaoftwoworlds
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
23 Aug 2020
Summary
Various unconnected post-CW scenarios in which the ex-Avengers get what’s coming to them, turn on each other, get slapped in the face with the truth that Tony’s doing fine without them, etc. Some fantastical and unbelievable, some more realistic. Basically fuel for my bitter, bitter post-Civil War heart. Mostly oneshots with a few multi-chapter ones thrown in. All will be Team Cap negative (particularly Steve and Wanda) but generally Bucky neutral/positive.

Summary
When Hell invades the Dreaming, they lose, as they tend to do in Dream's own realm. But the invasion still leaves damage in its wake.
Febuwhump Day 12: Semiconscious
He wrenched his eyes open, with great difficulty, trying to look at the owner of that voice. There were stars in his vision, a whole starfield amidst spots of darkness. He could not see Hob. The stars wavered. The ground vibrated and dipped. Hm. Perhaps. More damage than he had thought? The heat of battle. Affected one's memory.
"That means… Everyone's safe," he repeated vaguely, only no sound came out from it.

Summary
Dream doesn't quite know how to express matters of a personal nature, even to those he may consider friends, so it is easier to frame his admissions as a story. Some experiences cannot be separated from the self, so he at last tells a tale that is not detached from experience. Hob Gadling is happy to listen to anything the Prince of Stories has to tell him.

Summary
Obligatory "Hob undresses Dream's battle armor to clean some wounds and wrap him in blankets after" fic.
---
[Dream's] armor stayed on, without even realizing it, all the way to the point where Matthew mentioned Hob was probably wondering where he was. Lucienne had encouraged him to go, rest, like she knew he wouldn't keep off his feet otherwise.
The journey to the Waking had exhausted him to the point where he fell forward, tried to get up and then fell backward. "I'm getting Hob," Matthew had said, panicked, and flew toward the building. And now he was here, on Hob's couch, struggling to keep his eyes open after Hob had -- what? cared for him? Dressed him in his own clothes, tended wounds Dream had forgotten were there and more besides.

Summary
Hob is a patient man, and Dream is a stubborn one. Or a stubborn something, considering Hob still doesn't quite understand what exactly he is. In fact, there isn't much he does know about his stranger, and even less about his stranger's family -- so Hob certainly hadn't expected his friend's sister to waltz on into The New Inn asking if he had any apples and telling him that she was in town for work that "luckily" didn't involve him.
And, naturally, he also hadn't seen it coming when she told him that his stranger needed his help. But if Hob had learned anything in his unnaturally long life, it was that things never went quite how you were expecting them to -- and sometimes you wound up breaking into a rich magician's basement to get your friend back.
