Summary
Meeting Dream had gone from once a century occurrence to every six months, to just every month, then to around once a week, a change of pace Hob would be eternally grateful for, if only people stopped bloody interrupting them.
(Five times someone in Hob's life interrupts him and Dream's meetings (dates) and one time it's someone Dream knows.)

Summary
Dream visits Hob 33 years late, but then he keeps coming back and Hob doesn't know exactly why. He finds Dream isn't the same man he once knew, but he's still in love all the same.
Or, a sweet, short look into Dreamling if they had some actual conversations and held hands in public (with a hefty dose of melty smut).

Summary
Hob Gadling expected many things when he chose to engage in a romantic relationship with Dream. He just didn’t expect it would mean meeting his lover’s family or becoming someone important to the denizens of The Dreaming.

Summary
Still recovering from Desire’s latest plot, the last thing Dream of the Endless needs is to realize he is in love with Hob Gadling. It takes the combined efforts of Death and Desire, along with a few pointed looks from Lucienne, but Dream sets aside his fear and his pride to tell Hob how he feels.

Wet dreams as a catalyst for Dreamling.

"He does not wish your friendship, Hob Gadling. He wishes to bed you."
"He—" Hob cuts himself off, head tilting slightly like the new information needs just a second to process. Dream wonders when he began to find this kind of confusion more endearing than a test of his patience.
In which Dream begins to feel things and it goes about as well as you would expect.

"That's another thing," Matthew squawks. "How have you been spending almost every night with this guy and still coming back this pent up?"

Summary
Dream of the Endless is a delicate creature. It would be a crying shame if Hob didn't worship him thoroughly. Or pick him up, when those sharp edges and bony limbs fit so perfectly into his arms.

Summary
There are consequences to being caught in nightmares not your own, in the tormented memories of beings infinitely more powerful than you. Hob Gadling doesn't care. Nightmares can't kill him. And if this was ever real, he has no choice but to try and fight it now. To show ... to show his friend that he would have rescued him. If he'd known. He would have tried, no matter what it cost.

Summary
When a man clad in all black walks through the door and admits Hob is his friend, Hob doesn't know whether to hug him or play it cool.
When it is obvious something happened, something terrible, Hob doesn't know whether to hug him or play it cool. Again.
In other words, Dream starts talking and doesn't stop. And suddenly these once a century dates are no longer once a century. More like once a week.

Summary
Hob has to do a double take because Dream is crying; big, ugly, hiccuping sobs that wrack his skeletal frame to the point where Dream looks like a leaf in the wind. The raven that’d been following the man the last time they met— Mike or Martin or Matthew or something— pecks at the guys shoes.
The story of how Hob Gadling starts a pub, beats up a god, stares down Death, falls in love with Dream of the Endless, and amasses a small army of fidget cubes. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
“From this time, there wasn’t a year he wouldn’t think about The Stranger’s piercing stare, the intensity in his eyes, the inhuman focus he had been granted with. Hob didn’t want to live his life to please The Stranger, but he wanted his focus on him to last. He wanted to show him what he himself saw in humanity – the beauty of life well lived.
And oh, his life wouldn’t be well lived until he tried everything it had to offer.”
Or: Hob Gadling has a lot of thoughts about his very long life and about certain mysterious strangers that want to keep meeting him every one hundred years in the same tavern.

Summary
Captivity provides Dream with a great deal of time to consider his existence, especially as it relates to that of one Robert "Hob" Gadling. He admits some things to himself in the confinement of his prison that he would never have considered outside of it.
It is harder to mend something broken than it is to create something new.

Summary
“Oh shit,” he says, eyes wide. And then, “oh fuck,” as he’s scooting backwards as quick as he can, “sorry, sorry, I’m sorry,” because what else can you say when you realize, oh, that’s not just a version of your friend that your brain conjured up, that’s your actual friend, the anthropomorphic personification of dreams, in your actual dream. The dream where you’re naked and waiting for him to come be naked with you.

Summary
When Qiu Dingjie's apartment floods, his well-meaning but chaotic friend Jiang Heng offers him a place to stay—conveniently forgetting to mention that the spare room belongs to his other friend's roommate, not him. Qiu finds himself moving into a spacious four-bedroom apartment with three other people: Jiang Heng (who crashes wherever he lands), Li Peien (the exhausted oldest friend who acts as everyone's reluctant guardian), and Huang Xing —a quiet, meticulous architecture student who made it very clear he didn't agree to this arrangement.
