A Different Kind of Burn by Ruby_Casablanca
Fandoms: The Sandman (TV 2022), The Sandman (Comics)
04 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
While the guards took their stimulants and were careful not to dream, the rest of the household had to sleep. Servants and family, guests and partygoers all slept in the numerous suites, tucked under covers with heads cradled by goose-feather pillows. The deepest, calmest sleep only his ruby could provide collected into a thin trickle of dreaming - not strong enough to carry him home but strong enough to keep him hopeful. Strong enough for Morpheus to close his eyes and let his mind slip away in the current, if only for a little while…
There was only one mind he knew on this mortal plane, only one place he could end up, after all.
...
Wherein Hob dreams of war, Morpheus dreams of an escape from his prison, and over the span of many years, they fall into dreams that blur the lines between friendship and something more.

Summary
“The defendant believed his personal relationship – ”
“Objection!” Hob rises, and it’s only a decade of experience in the courtroom that keeps his anger in check as he grits out, “Speculation.”
From the opposite side, Morpheus regards him with stony silence, argument cut short.
-------------------------
Or, the one in which Dream is a District Attorney, Hob is a defense attorney, and their judge deserves a raise.

I Looked Down into the Depths by TanithCooper

Summary
'Hob sighed and steeled himself before looking down to a reflection that was not quite his. He was pale, paler than anyone he had ever seen, water streaming down from his hair that had been laced with kelp and seaweed, eyes sunken and cheekbones more pronounced than they had ever been in all of his lives. He opened his mouth to gasp, eyes widening as he saw long pointed teeth that couldn't possibly fit in his mouth but somehow did. Dream logic, he reasoned with himself, turning his head this way and that to make sure that the reflection below him was actually his.
“What am I?”
“You’re one of us, little nightmare, perhaps one of the most important of us all.”'

Summary
Burgess does not leave Dream alone in his prison. He takes him out. He sacrifices him upon an altar to pain and violation. Which creates the question. If Morpheus breaks down and begs, but has no voice and no one there to hear it, did he ever really break?

Summary
A different take on Dream's capture; Dream's POV.
It is a unique horror to suddenly have a body.
Weak spasming, wet trembling, shivering vertigo.
Most creatures experience it only once, at birth, screaming, weeping, and blessedly forget soon after.
It would have no such blissful balm.Series

Summary
Over the centuries, Hob had dreamt plenty of dreams about his friend from the tavern. All good dreams, of course.
Very good dreams.
Usually not dreams that featured either of them wearing very much clothing.
But until the talking bird told him otherwise, he hadn't considered that those dreams might be real.
(Featuring: a live Jessamy, Hob rescuing Dream from the fishbowl, a mess to clean and a happy ending.)

Jeeves and the Amatory Dilemma by who_la_hoop for lovelokest
Fandoms: Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse, Jeeves & Wooster
27 Nov 2012
Tags
Summary
I don’t know if you have ever had your torso scraped with a butter knife by your valet. There is not much in the experience to recommend it. Particularly when you suspect said valet is not entirely happy with you, and so wields the implement with more vim than strictly necessarily.
Or, the tale of how Bertie and Jeeves finally Confessed All to each other, despite – or, possibly, because of – the passion-dampening affects of Giant Squirts, thwarted wrestling, unhappy boating, rabbits (both of the Luminous and Dream varieties), an aunt who breakfasts on the ground bones of nephews who displease her, and a pair of very natty yellow socks.

Summary
Dream has spent seventy years trapped - unspeaking, near unmoving. He will not capitulate. He will not give in.
But that doesn't change that he can't help but dream too of a day of when he is out, able to return to his realm and function... freedom (in a sense) from this glass prison - though... his function... that overwhelming responsibility...
It doesn't matter... he may never get out... no one is coming... no one will help... he's alone. Even if he dreams of another world where that isn't true. It's fleeting, but he is Dream of the Endless.
And it's all he desires.
**When Roderick decides on using a spell, as a last ditch effort, to get his son back, he doesn't realize the catastrophic outcome of trying to force an entity of fantasy and reality, one with his own hopes and dreams of freedom, to conform - to create a son reborn.
AKA Roderick accidentally turns Dream into a two year old... and everything falls down from there.

his heart, beneath the floorboards by imnotcryingipromise
Fandoms: The Sandman (TV 2022)
12 Jul 2023
Tags
Summary
"I will revoke our deal," Dream threatens, before he can bite his tongue, his grief and frustration lashing against his insides like boiling water in danger of spilling. The cruel ultimatum echoes off of the cavernous basement walls.
"What did you just say?" Hob demands, aghast. He is trembling all over, his shaking hands falling from Dream's face defeatedly.
"You will leave me here. You will let me rot in this forsaken place, as I have for so long now, or you will age and die.”
***
Lieutenant Robin Stone attends an end of war celebration at the Burgess mansion in hopes of forgetting his ghosts for an evening, unaware of the familiar face entrapped beneath the floorboards.

***
IMPORTANT: August 2, 2025, I will start splitting some longer chapters (15,000 words or more) into smaller ones to make them easier to read for people on phones. Old chapter numbers will be in the new chapter names, so everyone can find their places if they want. Also, there will be a few deleted scenes added (marked as new).
PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR CHAPTER NUMBER if you're currently reading.
This fic is COMPLETE. Chapter count will be going up, but the work is still posted in its entirety.

After banishing his lover from the Dreaming for her betrayal, Morpheus learns that she is pregnant with his child.
And that she’s been captured by a revenge-seeking Alexander Burgess.
What the both of them are unaware of is that this will set in motion a cascade of unfavorable events, causing a chain reaction that threatens the whole of existence itself.
There are four parts/separate novels in this one entry as follows:
Part I: All of This Past (chapters 1-11)

something old, something new, something borrowed by astrhae

Summary
“Immortality. I get to live one lifetime at a time, and then this pulls me through, shoves me into another time, another world. Sometimes centuries later, sometimes before, and I keep running into you.” Hob shrugs, the ruby glowing in his palm, clinking against his ring. “Well, future you. I was born in the Year of Our Lord, two thousand three hundred and sixty.”
-----------------
Or, an AU where Dream and Hob have half-reversed timelines: in which they save each other, find each other, and fuck each other -- in exactly, and not exactly, that order.
