Summary
An attack on the Dreaming leaves Dream wounded and weakened in an unexpected way- physically, mentally, and emotionally, Dream is temporarily left as a child.
Hob is given the task of watching over him until he heals, which seems simple enough, but slowly through their time together he learns more about the things his love struggles with and why. He learns more about Dream’s family, and the ways he’s been hurt that he won’t admit. But with Hob’s help, he may begin to heal some of his ancient hurts.

one stippled star (becomes for a moment fragmented) by celestarium (meadowziplines)

Summary
**Please mind the listed work tags. This fic centers around domestic abuse, violence, child abuse, and dysfunctional family.**
Morpheus - or Dream, as he's nicknamed himself - could have been gone the moment he turned 18, like his older siblings Dee and Destiny. But that would mean abandoning his younger siblings Dessie, Desire, and Del to a deeply broken household, and he's spent far too long protecting them at his own expense to run.
Their father is abusive; their mother is one of his victims and locks herself in her bedroom. No one finds out, and Dream intends to keep it that way, because no one is coming to help any of them... until Time goes too far, Dream collapses in the middle of a uni class, and a chain of events is set in motion he cannot stop.
---
Two chapters plus an epilogue. I know relevant legal systems and child welfare systems don't work like this. This is, among other things, wish fulfillment. Thank you to Readertee for alpha/beta reading and tharkuun for some of the medical accuracy details!

Much Ado About Giving Aid by KlarionTheWizard

Summary
In most universes, two old gods attack the Dreaming toward the beginning of the universe. Dream asks his siblings for help and only Desire answers, by sending Alinora.
(She breaks his heart eventually and he becomes that much more wary of love.)
In this universe, not even Desire sends aid.
The old gods shred the Dreaming.
(Except the Dreaming is a manifestation of Dream’s mind.)
(Dream’s howls of agony echo through the cosmos.)
(By the time his siblings change their minds it is too late.)
or:
”Why won’t Dream come to family dinner?” Delusion asks at a family dinner, drawing shapes in his food with a fork.
