Summary
Contrary to belief, the Endless did not know all. They were not the most powerful beings in the universe. They existed to serve the world they were born into by Time and Night. Time and Night, who in turn, only existed by a wave of the hand by the Creator - when the universe was born.
What was known was that Lucifer and Michael were fated to fight until the end of days - the war between the silver city and Hell constant and ruthless. However, it was not fought directly by them - but by their cohorts... demons for Lucifer and Nephilims for angels.
Nephilims were feral beings, no better than demons - only marked with grace and wings instead of blackness and horns. Creatures that were vicious and ravenous - feasting on the blood and essence of their enemies.
The Endless did not know everything, but even Dream knew that it was best to never meet a Nephilim without a muzzle... and better yet, it was best to not cross the considered leader of the Nephilim, the only female - Mikayla.
But as said before... the Endless... Dream did not know everything. He did know duty. He did not know her.

Summary
Dream has spent seventy years trapped - unspeaking, near unmoving. He will not capitulate. He will not give in.
But that doesn't change that he can't help but dream too of a day of when he is out, able to return to his realm and function... freedom (in a sense) from this glass prison - though... his function... that overwhelming responsibility...
It doesn't matter... he may never get out... no one is coming... no one will help... he's alone. Even if he dreams of another world where that isn't true. It's fleeting, but he is Dream of the Endless.
And it's all he desires.
**When Roderick decides on using a spell, as a last ditch effort, to get his son back, he doesn't realize the catastrophic outcome of trying to force an entity of fantasy and reality to conform to him - to create a son reborn.
AKA Roderick accidentally turns Dream into a two year old... and everything falls down from there.

Summary
Hob asks although the sinking feeling in his gut should tell him more than enough: "What do you mean?"
"Dream's gone," Thanatos clarifies simply, eyes dark and gold and fixed, locked onto his own.
Hob wants to scream.Or, Dream is presumably missing in action, Death stages an intervention, and Hob saves the day with the power of family and friendship. More or less.
Or, a full rework of the original you can always find me here for ginoeh. -

Summary
Aila was never a normal child. Being the offspring of Lucifer Morningstar was a guarantee of that, but only child of the devil or not doesn't change that her mother wants nothing to do with her - past, present or apparently future.
All Aila wants is to understand her place and purpose in the world - why she was born... prompting her to go in search of her father - a man that doesn't even know she exists. Of course, the last thing Aila expects is him to be an Endless - one without his memories.
But before she can even dive into that, she meets his nightmare, discovers her life and possible purpose far more intertwined with the Endless than not, and promptly - accidentally - sends herself and the Corinthian back to Greek times... where she'll get the chance to meet her entire family - and her brother.
Aila would have preferred to have been normal.

Summary
Dream was patient. Endless.
Roderick Burgess was neither. In time, he and his followers would inevitably die or make a mistake.
Dream would wait for them to do so. And, in the meantime, he would give them nothing but his silence.
At least, that was his plan.
Until a human child changed everything.
***
AU in which Roderick Burgess is a more effective villain with a better plan to salvage his failed summoning ritual; and, as a result, Dream breaks his vow of silence.

Summary
"Well," Death says when two eights give rise to her final victory. "I've won."
Hob is undettered.
"Keep going,” he says, gesturing for her to keep putting down cards. Death regards him curiously. “A game of snap needn’t end when one of us holds all of the cards… or at least that’s what I was taught. It's— hah— quite egalitarian.”
"The game would never end, then. It'd go on forever."
"That's the idea." Hob swallows. His throat is dry, drier than it's been in eons. His voice scrapes to a low whisper when he says: "Death, let me pretend."-
Death and Hob play a game of snap at the end of the universe.

Summary
It begins with a song followed by silence.
With a father who feared grief more than death, and a son who suffered because of it.Centuries later, in a London tavern in 1889, two strangers meet again: Dream, endless, unknowable and Hob Gadling: an immortal man, impossibly hopeful. Both of them stubborn. Both of them aching for something they can’t quite name.
What begins as curiosity slowly becomes something deeper: a love that stretches through time. Through change. Through laughter and loss, through the building of a family and the beauty of choosing to live fully.
This is the story of Morpheus and Hob, of dreams and devotion, of quiet conversations and fierce promises, of love blooming in the cracks left by sorrow.

Summary
The Dreaming stands, but Dream... Dream is gone.
In the aftermath of the assault on the Dreaming, the Kindly Ones delivered their judgement, their punishment - for spilling blood - and yet, Dream is gone... but not yet returned. Death does not understand why. Endless remain... and yet Dream... is just gone.
Only because the Kindly Ones did not take his life that day. No. It's not much of a punishment if it was what he craved most.
No, instead, they trap him in an unending nightmare - living the moment he killed his son over and over again. Until he breaks, until he begs, until the end of time - Dream doesn't know. He just knows there's no escape. There's no help coming. He's alone.
And every day that he kills his son - just to wash the blood away again and again... He desires for this to end, he would beg for death, he wallows in despair, and he worries he's becoming delirious. The touch of his siblings reside in him, but he accepts they will never come for him. He deserves this. It's his punishment.
His siblings don't care - he tells himself... unaware they don't even know he's alive, and if they did - none of them, not even Desire, would agree.

Summary
"What are dreams without Hope, Robert Gadling?" The Fates suddenly asked him, voices merging into one.
And Hob had to think about it for a moment. He would have said "nightmares", but weren’t they made to kill hope? Nightmares like those of a break-up killed the hope for a long and loving relationship, those of being trapped clashed with the idea of being free. After all, dreams and nightmares were just the two sides of the same coin.
And so, Hob answered.
"Nothing."

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.
