Summary
Rumors about an entity getting captured by humans have spread around, and Hob hasn't heard anything from Dream ever since he postponed their meetings indefinitely to tend to his realm.
Hob knows that it's unlikely that Dream got captured again. But it's probably safer to check.

Summary
Dream suddenly gripped the lapels of Hob's jacket with a startling fervor, arms stretched across the tabletop. His gaze bore into Hob's. "I beg, allow me to represent you instead."
"Now what kind of man would I be if I let others fight my battles?" Hob said, prying his fingers off before his endless grip tore through the fabric. "Hard as it may be to believe, I'm actually not a bad hand at chess. Don't worry about me."
"I do not find that hard to believe. However, as I have said, this is not chess. It is an intimate and punishing battle of minds."
"Alright, so it's like Go Fish."
Hob gets challenged to a duel. Too bad his opponent has it out for Dream, and has no intention of playing fair.

Summary
“What I’m saying is— I understand.”
He catches Dream’s hand in his. His touch is careful, soft like a summer breeze. It makes Dream’s breath catch somewhere under his breastbone.
“I know how it is to live against everyone’s expectations. How to live in spite of them.”
Dream stares at their intertwined fingers, feels Hob’s pulse in his fingertips. It’s a beautiful, quiet thing; it’s the first time he’s felt quiet in ages.
(Or: Dream de Endless was suppose to be his family’s most prized jewel, but when he is taken, he loses the last thing the world considered valuable about him. Broken down to his core, he does not expect anyone to want him again. Until Robert Gadling walks into his life.)

Summary
"Robert Gadling," he commands and his husband licks his lips and Morpheus follows that devious tongue with his sharp, all-seeing eyes. "I have yet to feel this banquet you so effortlessly state. Mine husband, do you wish to lay claim or are those coy words only meant to be received at face value."
It is not a question, but a delicious challenge that Dream throws at him and expects him to respond.
"My dearest starlight, you will wish that my pillowy soft words were the treat you were given, as I am to ravish you even as you lie begging for me to gentle myself."
~~~
Or Dream and Hob love each other so much that it makes a kid and there's so much family drama and a spiral of emotions that I forgot what I was writing about for a moment before it wraps up in family forgiveness and new beginnings. There is also maybe a MAJOR FACTOR CHANGE, which changes the trajectory of Dream's fate.

Summary
The Dreaming continues on as it always had. New dreams are born and old wounds heal - if but slowly. This does not mean, however, that all is perfect. Grief has weight that bears itself on those who refuse to forget. Moving forward may need some help from a former King.

Summary
“As if what?” Hob whispers. “Dream?”
“As if you could love me,” he responds, a quiet devastation. “As if you would like to learn how.”
There is a sound that Dream would first assume had come from the warring tomcats from beneath had he not seen the movement of Hob’s own lips. It is beastly. Animal.
