Summary
Sequel To Fear and Hope (Final part Of Nightmare and Sins)
In one universe - Dream was trapped for one hundred long years. He escaped and gathered his sigils as the story is told.
In another universe - Roderick requested help with his cage, not knowing that one single action would cascade into a partial remaking... of Dread of the Endless. An Endless not bound by laws or rules and wanting nothing more than to tear Dream - his former self - apart. A plan aided by Lucifer, who wants nothing more than Dream brought to heel... and worsened by Death of the Endless - now corrupted - into Demise of the Endless. All the while Dream and Desire work (reluctantly) to set aside old family grudges and trauma to try and salvage their family.
And yet in another universe, the Burgess estate succeeded in not only capturing Dream... but the other Endless as well. Endless that have no reason to trust Johanna, who is now trapped with them. Johanna who wants to desperately get back to her Dream... And if she fails, it may very well be the end of not only Dream but the other Endless as well...
Endless serve humanity... but corrupted Endless, ones not bound by rules or blood, may very well destroy it.

Summary
Despite his better instincts, Captain Robert Gadling reluctantly attends one of his employer’s extravagant parties. Beneath the house, in the shadowed stillness of the basement, he stumbles upon a secret. Terrifying, unknowable, and impossible to resist.
Hob’s heart stuttered. The figure was man-sized from head to hips, lean as a dancer, skin the opal pallor of a drowned sailor. Yet, below the waist, humanity surrendered to abyssal myth. Hips tapering into a monstrous tail.
Even cramped within the ostentatious bowl, the creature’s every shift hinted at impossible strength pinned in a cage too small.
Hob found his voice only as a rasp. “My god…”

Summary
Or the one where Billy frees Dream
This would be a twin to "Of Dreams and Magic". Another version if you will with many initial similarities but that splits into a whole different plot and outcome. Since I don't see myself able to do a second part for that one I chose to make a version with what some people asked to happen in part 2.

[podfic] Dreams are Reality in Waiting by deepestbluesky for Lalaith_Quetzalli

Summary
Podfic of Dreams are Reality in Waiting by Lalaith_Quetzalli. Author's original summary:
Hob is a simple man, a man of principles, of convictions, with a simple life… except for where said life has lasted for several centuries now, he’s met beings that are both older and more powerful than any god, and is married to one of them! So maybe his life isn’t simple at all. Still, he’s the kind of man whose word means something; even when the person he gave his word to clearly never expected him to remember it…

Summary
“You know our feelings on the matter of this war.” Time stated, “We of the Endless, want no part of it.”
Lucifer’s face tightened, “So be it.” They stated, “I hoped that I could reason with you.” Their eyes lingered on Dream again, “I hoped for a lot, but if this is the path you wish to walk down, then so be it.” They turned to leave, “Mark my words, oh those of the Endless, this perfect life that you have will come crashing down around you… it was time for you to choose a side, and you chose wrongly.”

Summary
Hob can't remember ever dreaming.
Every night he closes his eyes and there is nothing but an immeasurable emptiness, with no sound, nor a single light but with time speeding up till sunrise, or perhaps he is simply non-existent in that place.
Hob has no body, no mind, not a single thought for a few seconds before a new day begins.
It's been this way since he was a boy, but he doesn't think he's missing out.
Then, after almost 600 years, on any given night, without anything special, without having done anything to deserve it.

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
Look.” Hob got his feet, slowly and deliberately with all the dangerousness of a man who had seen and fought in far too many wars, “You have two options kid. The first option is that you step to one side and let us go. You tell us where his clothes and other things are and when we’re gone, you can do whatever you want with your dear old Dad here, lock him up in a room for all I care…. But we are leaving and that is that.”
Alex was still shaking, glancing down at his Dad. “H-he’ll kill me if he finds out I-I just- “
“- Then kill him.” Hob’s words were blunt, “Or, I can make it look like you put up a fight trying to stop us, like those other guards. You look like a clever boy, I’m sure you could figure something out.”

Summary
There's an all-glass cage in the center of the basement, practically a bubble held up above an intricate runic circle on the floor by an iron frame and thick chains. But that's not what really got Harry's attention, oh no.
There is a man inside the glass globe, sitting naked and motionless in the center with his legs hugged to his chest, and the only thing Harry can see of him other than pale white skin is the bush of black hair almost as or more messed up than his own.
Going to the cage is like being pulled by a magnet, and Harry's hand moves almost by itself to press against the glass.
The man looks up, locking eyes with Harry, and slowly unrolls to his feet, all the while looking Harry in the eyes with irises as black as the space between the stars with a single tiny point of light in the pupil. And then... And then he reaches out, placing his own palm flush with Harry's against the glass, and presses back.
•••
For eighty-one years, Morpheus rotted in a glass cage in Roderick Burgess's basement, with no hope of escape now that Jessamy was dead.
At least not until his big sister's favorite accidentally finds him.

His Bond, by Lalaith_Quetzalli, (podfic) by cookiemom6067

Summary
It’s been said that a man’s word is as good as his bond. Back in 1789 Hob Gadling gave his word to his strange benefactor to be there, were the Stranger to ever need him. And to that word he’ll hold. Had it been up to him, Dream of the Endless would have never called for help, not from anyone. So perhaps it’s a good thing that it’s not up to him. For once a man’s word has been given, it is binding…

Summary
Hob saves Dream from his imprisonment but is shot several times in the process. He manages to break the glass ball, but when he wakes up he is in his own bed, bleeding and with no memory of what happened after that. He doesn't know if his friend is alright, doesn't know what happened to him, and he goes a bit crazy with worry.
Eventually, Dream comes back to Hob and, after that, they start to meet more often until they become part of each other's lives. However, this new closeness will be threatened by old mistakes and fighting ancient powers is never easy.
"Only destruction awaits those loved by the Endless."
