Summary
Hob Gadling has lived through six centuries of history, and he’s collected more jobs than most people can imagine—mercenary, printer, pirate, mob boss, even a rock musician for a spell. But the one role that feels like home is the one he holds now: Professor Robin Golding, Medieval History, London.
Through lectures about chimneys and buttons, cups of tea at Nina’s café, banter with colleagues, and evenings in his pub, Hob reflects on the small things that shape lives. The inventions that go unnoticed, the food that feels miraculous after centuries of hunger, the city of London itself. And underneath it all, the quiet, stubborn hope that maybe one day his Stranger will walk through the door again.
A story about teaching, eating, laughing, waiting, and living—all the little things that keep Hob going.

Summary
"Robert Gadling," he commands and his husband licks his lips and Morpheus follows that devious tongue with his sharp, all-seeing eyes. "I have yet to feel this banquet you so effortlessly state. Mine husband, do you wish to lay claim or are those coy words only meant to be received at face value."
It is not a question, but a delicious challenge that Dream throws at him and expects him to respond.
"My dearest starlight, you will wish that my pillowy soft words were the treat you were given, as I am to ravish you even as you lie begging for me to gentle myself."
~~~
Or Dream and Hob love each other so much that it makes a kid and there's so much family drama and a spiral of emotions that I forgot what I was writing about for a moment before it wraps up in family forgiveness and new beginnings. There is also maybe a MAJOR FACTOR CHANGE, which changes the trajectory of Dream's fate.

Summary
Dream doesn’t even last a single day in Hob’s flat without him before he goes snooping.
In his defence, there aren’t many places in the flat Hob hasn’t actively encouraged him to root around in at some point. There had been a weekend where Hob had happily shown Dream every single photo they could find in the house, some of which had left Dream in fits of giggles, some of which had made Dream want to climb him like a tree, a few of which had left Hob with sweet, crystalline tears running down his cheeks for Dream to kiss away.
So, it’s not exactly like Hob’s flat is a den of secrets.

Hob goes away for a few days. Dream misses him.
They have phone sex about it.Series

Summary
Dream is sprawled out contentedly across his chest when Hob comes back around, fingers playfully tracing through his chest hair. His cock is hard again where it’s pressed to Hob’s hip, and he blearily remembers Dream’s boast on their first full day together, when he said he could fuck Hob five times a day with adequate hydration.
“You should have some water,” Hob mutters.Series
