Summary
Wherein Hob Gadling stages an impromptu rescue after he discovers his mysterious Stranger trapped in the basement of a would-be sorcerer, wherein the subsequent escape into the Dreaming results in Morpheus suffering severe memory loss, and wherein Lucienne, the loyal librarian who's just trying to keep it together as it is, must work with Hob to help nurse Dream back to health and get his memories back. Also wherein feelings develop, as they are wont to do, and rise to the surface, changing everything for the three of them- and the Dreaming.

Summary
When Hob Gadling made a drunken deal with a mysterious man in a pub, he didn’t expect anything to come of it. Waking up the following morning with a golden mark on his wrist was a shock, though less than finding out that he couldn’t die. Who had he made a deal with, and what did he want? His Stranger was far from forthcoming, so he’d have to figure it out himself. That his mark was not just a passkey to an underworld of supernatural beings but the sign that he wasn’t meant to spend eternity alone was enough to send him down paths he never knew existed and ask more questions than were answered. Who, or more importantly what was his Stranger, and did the mysterious man know who Hob was destined for?
(An AU where only immortals have soulmarks that mark their species/type as well as their partner, and Hob has something no one has seen before)

Summary
As his frantic eyes adjust to the brightness of the globe, he catches just a glimpse of familiar unkempt, raven hair. His relentlessly stuttering heart seems to freeze in his chest, his mind shouting at him, thrashing, like a prisoner forced into solitary confinement, aghast and disbelieving.
It's unfathomable, inconceivable...
Hob's worst fears are confirmed as the being entrapped before him lifts his head.
***
Wealthy businessman, Robyn Stranger is invited to the auction of an unknown supernatural being, held hostage by one Roderick Burgess. The immortal willingly accepts the invitation -given his current penchant for liberating enslaved mortals from their deluded, “magic using” captors- unaware that he is more familiar with the being trapped below, than he ever could have imagined.

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.

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.
Fic will be privated for an hour to put all the new chapters through and not bombard subscribers with emails.

Summary
Magnus Bane receives orders to investigate what is a trapped warlock (or something demonic) in the basement of one Roderick Burgess. He isn't expecting to come across two creatures already planning a rescue of said captive. Even more than that - he isn't expecting the captive to be an Endless, of all things.
-
Hob Gadling, when a talking raven (named Jessamy) shows up to tell him that his oldest friend has been captured and needs his help, isn't expecting to get plunged into a world of magical beings, time travel, and more than his fair share of violence, but. For his Stranger? He would do anything.

Once Upon A Tempestuous Dream by KlarionTheWizard

Summary
The Dreaming is a fluid place. Malleable. Changeable. Illogical. It reaches between and connects different points in time in certain places, allowing glimpses of the past and future.
What if the walls between the Multiverse are just a little weaker here?
What if we could see into the Dreaming Next Door?
Or:
The only reason Lucifer sees her enter is because he’s already scanning the entrance of Lux to see if the Detective has arrived.
He changes the next song in his routine.
(Enter Sandmaiden sounds a bit odd on the piano, but it’s worth it to see the Lady Shaper’s face when she hears him sing the words “I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin, til the Sandmaiden comes!”)

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.
