Summary
After the death of Eleanor Gadling, Hob just can't see the point anymore. It's probably why he isn't that concerned when he gets cursed by the Witch of the Waste. Now, a grumpy, crochety, old man, his only hope is to seek out the wizard Dream. But, rumour has it that Dream devours the hearts of young men and women. Hob doesn't care, surely the wizard wouldn't want his broken heart.

Summary
The thing is, Hob likes his body.
More or Less.
He’s been fat his entire life. From a round, squishy newborn, to a chubby child, to the full-bodied man he is today. There’s been ups and downs- he wasn’t immune to society’s fatphobia more than anyone else- but overall, he feels like he’s been pretty lucky. His parents always encouraged him to be confident in himself, he wasn’t bullied in school, he had good friends. He couldn’t really complain, in the grand scheme of things.
Still, when he's approached by a stranger at the bar, he doesn't expect to be so... thoroughly appreciated.

Summary
“What does my health matter to one such as you?” Dream hisses. “Have you not heard the rumors about me? That my mere existence brings calamity?”
Dream of the Endless Dragons is the last of his kind, and has retreated away from the human world, content to live away from their selfishness and greed. When a pair of humans come begging to him for help, he refuses, and so he is cursed in turn when one of them dies as a result. This is a story of love, loss, friendship, and new beginnings. Not necessarily in that order.
