Summary
Since realizing the truth of his feelings for Hob, Dream had been asking himself - what did Hob want? More life, always. To spend time with Dream, strangely enough. Very frequently, sex. None of that had given Dream an idea of what he could do for Hob.

Summary
Mr. Robert Gadling may be tolerably handsome, of an amiable disposition and in possession of a good fortune (for a tradesman), but is it enough to tempt Morpheus, the 14th Viscount Amaranth? Will the months Mr. Gadling is to spend at the Amaranth country mansion as a result of a wager between the Lord Amaranth and his elder sister allow the unlikely pair to develop a friendship—or, perhaps, even a forbidden attachment?
A series of rousing events involving balls, duels, play readings and meddling suitors lie between the Amaranth household and their return to town come winter—events which may forever change the viscount’s opinion on the merits of life in the country and, more importantly, on the balance between duty and the pursuit of happiness.

Summary
Friendship does not come to him easily..
Dream understands the general shape of it. He can see the lines of it when it draws others together. A part of him must know what it is. It is in the gentle lushness and golden light of Fiddler’s Green; it echoes when Matthew and Mervyn laugh, raucous and bright, in the library; it even shines from the warm note in Lucienne’s voice when she chides them for the noise. These are all parts of himself. Infinitesimal components of his vast entirety. This means he must know how it works.
It has to mean that.

17th Century Knife Restoration by Moorishflower
Fandoms: The Sandman (TV 2022), The Sandman (Comics)
30 Nov 2023
Tags
Summary
"400 year-old pocket knife restoration," the title says, and the still thumbnail is a picture of an anonymous man"s hands dipping an unidentified object – though he"s willing to guess it"s the aforementioned four-hundred year-old knife – into what looks like a baking soda bath.
And then it cuts to a video of the knife.
His knife.
Hob Gadling watches an ASMR video about knife restoration and gets a bit in his feelings about the whole thing (sometimes immortality isn"t all it"s cracked up to be). Thankfully, he has a friend who understands.

Summary
In the summer of 1895, Morpheus Sanfin – poet, omega, and disappointment to his wealthy father – flees England on the heels of Oscar Wilde"s imprisonment for gross indecency out of fear that he will be condemned for the same unnatural urges.
Seeking a new life in America away from the stifling hand of his father and the expectations of his sex, Morpheus sets out for California with Hob Gadling, a mustang driver who agrees to guide him, not knowing that along the way they will encounter natural wonders, the ghosts of their pasts, and perils that will force Morpheus to reconcile with both his sex and his feelings for his new companion.

Summary
Hob"s fingers slip a little higher, just under the sleeve of his coat. He is still wearing his coat, yes, why is that? He feels very warm. "Could find out?"
"Are you suggesting I should find some man to bed me?"
"Some man," Hob repeats, jaw working. His gaze is hovering somewhere around Dream"s collar. "Some man who knows what he"s doing, yeah."

Summary
Hob saw two things immediately, obvious as anything, in what he felt distantly sure must be the wrong order.
The stranger was surpassing handsome: tall as he was, but lean where Hob was broad, with pale skin, black hair as long as a maiden’s, eyes as sharp and bright as the bite of water in winter, and a mouth that made him think, suddenly and irrationally, of wild roses; and more was the pity for all of it, because the other thing, the thing Hob ought to have noticed first, was that he was staring at Hob like he meant to kill him.
In which Hob and Dream make poor first impressions, become fuck buddies, and, somewhere along the way, start trying to save one another. Out of friendship, of course. A love story.

How Adam Loved Eve by Moorishflower
Fandoms: The Sandman (Comics), The Sandman (TV 2022)
15 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
It"s said in the Bible that when the Lord took the rib from Adam and used it to craft Eve, there upon her breast, where the rib rested beneath her skin, was Adam"s name writ in the old language of angels and higher powers.
Hob wonders, sometimes, if Adam bore Eve"s name somewhere upon his person, or if she spent the rest of her life wondering if God had chained a man to her that would never love her back.
Everyone is born with the name of their soulmate as a mark on their palm. Hob Gadling is born with a thousand titles in looping scrawl on his arm and a name on his palm that no one can see but him.

Summary
Five times Sergeant Robert Gadling woke up to Captain Morpheus Apeiron. One time Morpheus woke up to Hob.
A very unlucky battalion finds itself in the command of one Captain Morpheus Apeiron. He doesn"t seem particularly worried with their survival, but mostly with ending the war as soon as possible. Sergeant Robert Gadling seems to be the only thing keeping all these young and inexperienced soldiers alive. After one particularly heated fight between them, Hob ends up discovering there is much more to his Captain than meets the eye, but is he seeing Morpheus as he truly is, or through the prism of his own desire?

Summary
Loki is the second child of Asgard’s imperial throne, the unwanted spare who can do no right in his father, Odin"s, and sister, Hela"s, eyes. Thor is Jotunheim’s fiercest defender against Aesir conquest, its army general, Laufey’s first child, crown prince…and long time object of Loki’s youthful obsession. When Loki’s rash actions throw the two realms’ delicate peace negotiations into disarray, he is forced to marry the Jotun prince, tearing control of his future—and maybe even his very bodily autonomy—out of his hands, and making a mockery of his dream of having Thor, which he is determined to escape at any cost.
While Thor…his dreams carry portents, and this time he dreamt he embraced a serpent, and that embrace brought not only peace, but something more.For Thorki Big Bang 2022 with art by Midnott.

Summary
Prompt:
Yes, I want a prehistoric AU with those two. I mean living in caves, having a simpler speech, stone tools, fleas, etc.
Thor"s tribe destroys another tribe because they couldn"t agree about their territories. Loki, a son of the leader of that tribe, survives, but he gets captured and enslaved.
People of Thor"s tribe dislike Loki, who"s scared and all alone among them; he"s an alien to them. But very soon Thor becomes possessive and protective of him (also, he claims him). And those who challenge his choices get roared at and also get a stone hammer to their heads. He"s their leader and he won"t tolerate his decisions being questioned (I don"t mind if Odin is in the story, but he"s no longer a leader, because he"s too old).
What of the genre... I prefer drama (humour is not my thing). Also, please, sex between Loki and Thor, which at first is, most likely, dub- or non-con, considering the time we are talking about.
+1000 Frigga looks after Loki and takes care of him when Thor is away (hunting, for example), because she knows that Loki is important to her son, and Loki gets attached to both Thor and her.

Summary
It wasn’t uncommon or even unexpected for the powerful and privileged to keep any sort of leashed apex predator as a pet. Often what made them dangerous to begin with was relinquished upon ownership – defanged tigers or clipped falcons.
Loki fingers the golden torque laying heavy beneath his collarbone. That’s what he supposes he is now. It was spelled to him though, and he could not remove it. The craftsmanship elegant, the purpose cruel. With little else to occupy his thoughts he looks at his reflection as the servant works about his hair, plaiting and weaving it above his crown as is customary. She has not brought her gaze down to make contact with his reflected eyes once, terrified at the anger behind them.
So.
He is to be a harlot.
Trussed up and begging for their amusement.
