Summary
Dream is given a second chance. Terrified by loneliness and drowning in humanity, he goes to find the only fixed point he has ever known. Hob Gadling.
Dream found himself explaining everything, the words tumbling out of him in a halting confession. The Kindly Ones, the choice to end or change. His siblings’ intervention.
“They… found a compromise. This form, it is mortal-adjacent. I must eat, sleep and breathe. I feel the cold. I grow weary.” He looked down at his own hands, pale against the dark fabric of his trousers. “I am, in all ways that matter now, very much like you, Hob Gadling. My body will not age. It cannot die. Unless I choose to accept my sister’s gift. I am… suspended. Between what I was and what men are.”

Summary
“It’ll be amazing,” Hob says, hoping to transfer his own excitement to Morpheus. “Think of it as an adventure.”
“An adventure,” Morpheus repeats, skeptical, but he’s smiling.
It’s not as if Hob Gadling hates his job as assistant stage manager at The White Horse Theater. It's a solid gig. But there is something missing in his life, and Hob’s itching to chase it down. As luck would have it, Dream—the bassist for the quickly rising band Endless—needs a new touring bass tech. Even as they initially butt heads, Dream captivates Hob, and he wonders what it is about the quiet musician that charms him in even their smallest interactions. It’s going to be a long ride, but Hob has never felt more eager for it.

Summary
Watching Hob Gadling weave braids into the hair of his students as he tells them stories, Dream is filled with the longing for one of the braids that Hob speaks of. One of kinship, an eternal bond, publicly on display for all.
However, he is unsure if Hob feels the same. Would Hob wear the same braid to match? A braid for them?
UPDATE: Second and third chapters added!

Summary
Years ago, at his first figure skating competition, Hob Gadling made a promise to himself - that no matter what it took, he would find a way to make Dream Endless look at him without dismissing him.
Now, he has the perfect way to do exactly that - and he's planning to debut the routine at Nationals to show the world.
