Summary
“You do not write with the others?” she finally asked him after three days of Hob reading the books in the house.
“Sadly, I am not much of a writer. I print books and I read them. The goddess herself neglected to bless me with her words,” he’d responded, smiling up at her. She was wearing a beautiful, white gown, flowing gracefully down to the floor. Elegant white gloves covered her hands and arms, while her hair was intricately braided in what Hob assumed was inspired by the women of Ancient Greece.
“Have you never tried before?”
“A few times, when I was younger and far more arrogant. Wrote a poem for a—” Hob stopped short, not knowing how exactly to refer to his stranger. Was he a friend? A casual acquaintance?
“A special person,” she finished for him.
“A special person,” Hob said.

Summary
“I am no longer what I was.”
It is her voice. She knows it is her own, distant and distorted, and hates its burn across her tongue. She hates the truth that echoes into tantalizing oblivion.
“Nor am I,” he says. It tastes like a blessing, and yet it pales against the promise in his touch, the hand that cloaks her own. “Calliope, one cannot live unchanged. We cannot.”
“Then I shall not,” she confesses. “Oneiros, I cannot.”
“You can,” he vows, and she aches to believe him. “Stay, Calliope, here and with me.”
-
in which a muse shatters and grows and permits herself to be saved.(aka: calliope in the nightmares' cave.)

Summary
He is the Dreaming, and the Dreaming is Endless and separate and its own. Occasionally it has its opinions. Occasionally it makes itself known – and, occasionally, it takes it upon itself to look after its king if he will not see to it, himself.
He should be expecting something. Perhaps, were it all less hectic, he would – but it is not, and therein lies the rub. There are too many cracks to fix and subjects seeking reassurance and Desire’s plots to remain vigilant against, and Dream is stretched thin enough to snap.
“Sweet?” Dream knows that voice, warm and heavy. “Where are we?”
He certainly is not anticipating Hob Gadling lounging groggily in his own bed.
-
in which hob gadling visits the dreaming, dream of the endless holds everything together, and healing begins.(aka: the dreaming decides dream needs his Emotional Support Human)

Summary
When she enters The New Inn, Calliope’s intention really is only to go have a conversation, to see what about this apparently unremarkable man has so intrigued her ex husband. She is not expecting, though perhaps she should have been, that she would find him so delightful, in turn.
Rob Gadling (because he is going by Rob these days) has an easygoing manner and sweet smile that charm her against her will. She leaves later than she intended the first night. One visit turns into two, then five, and before a year has passed, Calliope becomes a regular at the New Inn.
Written for Polyship Week 2023, Day 2: Second Chances

Summary
“What are a goddess and one of the endless doing, dirtying their hands with him?”
It’s vitriolic and Hob whimpers, shuddering in pleasure on Dreams fist. Dream, who—bless him—is too concentrated on Hob’s body to notice.
Calliope, though... Calliope is not so easily deafened to the subconscious pain and turmoil of her lovers.

Summary
Morpheus and Calliope were a gorgeous couple. It’s a match made in heaven if Hob ever believed in such a thing. If he were a good and honest man, Hob would leave them alone, let them be the perfect couple he could admire from afar.
But Hob Gadling is far from a good and honest man. And his heart is harder to convince to let go.
Hob transformed The New Inn into a Daycare and finds himself falling for not one — but two of his customers.

Summary
He slams the volume shut and tries not to glare at Lucienne. “This has no place in the Library.”
“It appeared with the unsent letters, my lord,” she tells him, undaunted.
“For a reason, Lucienne,” Dream insists. “She did not send them.”
Whatever Calliope wrote, she clearly hadn’t wanted him – him, of all people – to see them.
“But she intended to, Lord Morpheus,” Lucienne counters patiently. “They were meant to be sent and read – and most of them are addressed to you.”
-
in which dream of the endless finds letters calliope could not send, is faced with her trauma and his own, and does not understand why hob gadling always feeds him.(aka: dream of the endless and the guilty, angsty, very fluffy sad boi hours.)
