    Summary

    Dream considered this. “How we make another feel is a difficult thing to understand. Perhaps I should show you.”

    Inspired by all the lovely Dreamling Week content, I decided to finish this. Hope you enjoy!

    Summary

    "And there he is. He looks every inch the being that Hob remembers: from the vulnerable arrogance that shines in his eyes, the litheness of his body as it draws graceful lines through the air, the mass of dark hair that is thicker and madder than anything Hob has seen in over six centuries of life - right down to the clothing he wraps himself in, dark and simple and utterly put-together. The only thing missing is the ruby."

    Summary

    Hob was staring at the copy of the Will that had been emailed to him, and took a slow, deep breath through his nose.

    His skin was crawling, and a familiar, all too comforting rage was settling over his shoulders that had him wanting to rip apart all the people involved with his bare hands.  But wasn't enough, and there was no one left to fight, no one left to take vengeance on, and what's more, he was not even certain that Dream would want him to.

    -

    Hob Gadling unexpectedly inherits the Burgess estate upon the death of Paul McGuire. He takes his own vengeance in Dream's name on their legacy.

    Summary

    The New Inn is as close to a church as Hob can build, a monument to stories, a tribute to dreams. He has a baseball bat, 600 years of fighting experience, and an anthropomorphic representation of dreaming to impress.

    In other words, no neonazis allowed.

    Summary

    “The dangerous kind of rage is the rage that burns cold-hot. A chill, ice itself so intense that nothing survives it, delivered by a hand that is calm, steady, and precise. There is nothing quite like the beauty of a rage such as that.” A quirk of a smile. “It was once thought that only the evocation of a muse could lend description to such fury.”

    -

    Hob, King Consort of the Dreaming, is kidnapped and taken. Dream will do anything, everything, to get him back. Including something he had sworn to himself never to do again - except in the most dire of circumstances.
