Summary
A few months after their return to London from Port Townsend, the Cat King shows back up in Edwin’s life. He’s bent on courting Edwin, and has somehow acquired a magical collar that allows them to properly feel each other. Edwin meets him in secret, unsure of whether he’s ready to tell Charles about the relationship.
In the meantime, business at the Dead Boy Detective Agency continues. They receive a case where a woman is trapped between life and death, tethered between the mortal realm and the beyond by a cursed sorcerer.
But there may be more going on than meets the eye, and an Endless pulling strings from the shadows…

Summary
"No bodies, a missing statue, a mysterious letter with a sizable reward attached to it and the cats are getting blamed. The whole thing stinks from a mile away."
Or
The Cat King is a child of an Endless and with that come consequences not everyone can handle (a fully fledged backstory/lore for the Cat King weaved into the Sandman lore and of course a catwin story)

Summary
Hob was known for the fact that any student could come to him almost any day and ask for help. He never refused kids if he could do something for them, he was open and friendly, and it is very difficult to piss him off. One day, a student who hides his neck all the time caught his eye, and Hob's intuition told him he needed help. As it turned out, not so much to student as to his father.
Hob is Orpheus's professor and Morpheus hopes that he can help him to fix the relationship with his son.

Summary
"I am willing to...pay...rent," Dream says, each successive word loaded with more uncertainty, until his voice has actually risen on the word 'rent.' Not quite a question, but as near to it as Dream is likely to get in this situation, which is rapidly becoming desperately uncomfortable (for Dream) and confusing (for Hob).
"Do you know how money works?" is the first question that pops out of Hob's mouth.
After making an ill-advised bet with his sister, Dream of the Endless is rendered completely human for one year. In need of a place to stay he turns to Hob, unaware that his oldest friend has been holding a torch for him for the past several centuries. Human experiences! Living life to the fullest! Overcoming depression! Food trucks!
It's going to be a long year.

Summary
"I must court you," Dream pronounces, and Hob drags his attention away from the flowers. Grimaces slightly.
"You don't have to," he says. "This will only last a week or two, and then we can go back to being, you know. Normal boyfriends who aren't being driven insane by the urge to put every shiny object in the flat in the bloody bed with me."
Hob has gone into heat, but an omega's instincts demand that Dream make himself an appealing partner before he will be allowed to touch his lover. This calls for drastic measures. This calls for courtship.

Summary
Was it like this for humans all the time? Dream wondered. This heavy anticipation in his chest, the bodily attention verging on pain? He hadn’t known it was possible to be so intently aware of another person, but there it was, Hob Hob Hob in the pounding heart he didn’t need, a compulsion that wasn’t intellectual or even particularly romantic, but rather a strained desperation that could only be soothed by touch.
Dream's senses are overwhelming after a century enclosed in glass.

Something was wrong with her brother.
Call it sisterly intuition, but Death just knew. It wasn’t the same air of muted unhappiness that had practically enveloped him when she met him in the park feeding the birds. It was just strange.

Summary
"I’m afraid we can’t release you without a carer," the doctor said. She turned to Hob's friend. "Mr, uh— you couldn’t let Robert stay with you for a couple months?"
His friend, who was now having some kind of interaction with the raven through the window, frowned.
"Two months is a long time," he said uncertainly. "I am very busy."
***
When Hob sets out to rescue his oldest friend from his century-long imprisonment, he gets badly injured, and Dream must make an impossible choice between the two places that urgently need his help. Suspense! Magic! Love! Workplace burnout! It's all here.

Summary
dream hasn't gone this long without visiting him since whatever this thing was between them began. visits in the waking, sure; not quite thirty years into this new arrangement of theirs and hob's already gone years without seeing his friend in waking hours. there's never any real pattern to his visits – hob will spend a month seeing dream every other day and then not again for eight months. he's grown accustomed to that.
it's been two years of silence, now. and hob knows something's wrong.

Summary
“I used to imagine – what would it be like if I was actually one of your students. What if I was actually as young as I looked. I imagined you noticing me, telling me I’d earned some special prize. Letting me – teaching me something that was very much not on any curriculum, as if I’m someone who had never, you know… So,” Dream’s voice trailed off. “That’s it, really. Bone-crushingly embarrassing, I know.”
(Or - what happens when the aforementioned scenario was no longer doomed to exist only in the hypothetical)
