    Summary

    It was the end of Morpheus. The Dreaming was destroyed, the Kindly Ones were on the rampage, and Daniel was set to become the new Dream of the Endless. So Morpheus took his sister’s hand, and found himself back in 1689 with quickly fading memories of a future that would never be -never had been- and trying to fumble his way through life again with his dearest friend by his side.

    Or

    Morpheus gets a second chance at life, at the price of his memories of the future. But at least he’s got a loyal, immortal friend by his side to help him through. A friend who could potentially be more.

    Chapter 9 summary: In which the good doctor struggles to deal with his position and Hob is faced with a decision that could affect a lot more than he could have anticipated.

    Summary

    Serendipity (n.) 1/ a string of chance events that lead to a happy outcome.
    2/ Finding something good without looking for it.

    A glance subconsciously turned into a not-so-subtle-gaze. Hob secretly admitted that the stranger’s appearance was appealing, in a somewhat dangerous way. It wasn’t because the dark-haired man was exceptionally handsome – Hob would argue that he was good-looking too and even more approachable so ladies would prefer him over the stranger, to be honest – but there was something alluring about Dark-and-Mysterious that made him such a sight to behold, however, it simultaneously warned people that they should only do it from afar.

    A retelling of their once-in-a-century meetings, close to Hob’s perspective.

    Summary

    Dream wagers with Desire and loses. The price he must pay? Living out a year among humans, not in the manner of his choosing but as a married "woman", at least as far as those around him will see.

    Desire's one concession to Dream: that he may spend that year married to Hob Gadling, who didn't sign up for any of this.

    Summary

    When Hob Gadling is left in the rain outside the White Horse tavern in 1889, he's forced to reckon with his true feelings for the mysterious being that left him there.

    When Dream of the Endless escapes his prison, he finds himself powerless and unable to return to his domain.

    A dream can act like a beacon in a storm, and soon Hob finds himself facing down the sources of his feelings much sooner, and in much more dire circumstances, than he ever thought he would.

    -----

    or, Dream escapes Fawney Rig but ends up at Hob's place instead of his own.
