Summary
Hob Gadling was not by nature a cautious man but even he knew the value of keeping track of those who would be too… intrigued by his condition. In 1926, a chance conversation in a bar alerts Hob to the fact that Roderick Burgess has captured another immortal, one that sounds eerily similar to his friend.

Summary
"I should have asked you earlier, but I don't suppose you'll still be in town tomorrow?" Hob says. "It'd be lovely to see you again."
The man truly looks regretful as he says, "We won't."
It was worth a shot. They hardly know each other. There's no reason for the sick film of disappointment settling over him.
"Ah, well. I'm happy to have met you anyway," Hob says, subdued.
"Are you doing anything right now?"

Summary
Hob has been around death. Living in London throughout multiple plague outbreaks and fires, as well as making a living soldiering and dabbling in banditry, will do that to you. What he doesn't know is that Death has been around Hob as well. He has no idea that when his Stranger left him that night in 1389 after their first meeting, the woman who came up to him, laid a hand on his shoulder and said, “Good luck, friend,” was Death incarnate.
Hob doesn’t know that he is one of few things in this world that has been Touched by Death and lived. Had he known this, he might not have been as confused as he is when his body slams into the floor of a dim, candle-lit cellar and he finds himself surrounded by hooded figures and a gold circle on the floor. That is all he manages to perceive before everything goes blurry and consciousness slips away from him again.
Here in the Darkness.
*
Roderick Burgess' spell does not summon Death, but someone who has been touched by Death. Hob Gadling ends up in his cellar instead of Dream.

Summary
Hob cannot believe what is happening to him. He’s almost positive this is a dream, or at the very least, not real, but if the fucking King of Dreams wants to make Hob– Hob!- his spouse, then who is he to argue? It’ll be far better than whatever he could have hoped for in the– real world? His world? He can't wait to find out.
Or, Dream falls in love instantly. It takes Hob just a little longer to get there.

Summary
From the Sandman Kinkmeme:
“During one of his father's parties Alex finds an out-of-the-way corner in a side room and sneaks a nap when he should be on coat duty. While he's sleeping he has an incredibly vivid dream where he finds himself down in the basement with their captive; {…} Even though the intact binding circle prevents there from being any strength in it, the creature snarls and ineffectually tries to shove away Alex's groping hands, scratching his nails down his arm as he does. When Alex jolts awake to find the same scratches on his arm, he does a bit of reconstruction and figures out that the spot he picked for his illicit nap happened to be located directly above the spot in the basement where the glass cage was suspended. He can't get the experience out of his mind, quickly becoming obsessed with the thought of doing it again, of doing...more. So, he prepares, carefully waits for the right opportunity, and he does.”

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.)

Summary
Forced into an impossible deception, a delicate servant named Rowan must impersonate his mistress, Lady Seraphina, in an arranged marriage to Gareth Thornwood, a formidable and barbaric frontier lord.

But the lie is shattered when Gareth discovers his bride is not only an imposter but a man. The revelation leads to a night of trauma and betrayal, leaving Gareth heartbroken and Rowan banished.
Months later, a self-destructive Gareth, unable to forget the man he still loves, has Rowan found and brought back. Watched over by Gareth's pragmatic father and skeptical brother, the two must rebuild their bond, moving from trauma to trust, and from a marriage of lies to a partnership forged in painful honesty.

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.

Summary
"This one is a special case," Burgess says. "He is a war hero. Do you understand? You will be on your best behavior. You know what happens when you are not."
Two years into his imprisonment, and Dream of the Endless has not given Roderick Burgess what he wants. Yet if he cannot have back his son, then he will have whatever else Dream has to give, and sell it to the highest bidder: body, powers, and all.
Hob Gadling, newly back from the Western Front, has barely slept since 1889, and is desperate for any sort of relief, even that peddled by mad old men claiming to be warlocks.
