    Summary

    When Dream misses their appointment in 1989, Hob goes looking. He gets a nudge in the right direction from Crowley (Good Omens), enlists the help of Johanna Constantine (who exists at whatever point in time is necessary for the purpose of any story), and rescues his friend from the fishbowl. Then, left to his own devices with no way to contact Dream, he accidentally builds a temple (aka the New Inn), meets Calliope, and writes a book about his *ahem* endless life experiences. Dream finally notices.

    Or, every time I saw a trope that I liked, I grabbed it and smashed it together and called it a story.

    Summary

    Dream is Hob's best friend. And Hob is Dream's best friend... but Dream may have neglected to tell Hob this fact until he literally shoves Hob out of the way and takes a cursed demonic dagger in the chest for him. Oops.

    Title from the poem "Fruit of Loneliness" by May Sarton.

    Dreamling Bingo square E5: Crossover (Show)

    "I'm gonna get you help, you're not allowed to die –" There's more, but his hearing glitches in and out along with his sight. [Dream] had never really told Hob he cared about him, had he? It might be too late for that now. He can't keep his eyes open, no matter Hob's frantic efforts above him.

    Summary

    Dream being the King of Cats makes a lot of sense to Hob, which is why he doesn’t expect Dream’s fondness for dogs.
