The Sandman (TV 2022)

moonflower

by Magnolia35

Hob has to do a double take because Dream is crying; big, ugly, hiccuping sobs that wrack his skeletal frame to the point where Dream looks like a leaf in the wind. The raven that’d been following the man the last time they met— Mike or Martin or Matthew or something— pecks at the guys shoes. The story of how Hob Gadling starts a pub, beats up a god, stares down Death, falls in love with Dream of the Endless, and amasses a small army of fidget cubes. Not necessarily in that order.

Hob Gadling Vs. The British Museum (Unknown Artist, c. 2022, Oil on Canvas)

by TheAllKnowingOwl

It is a fact long-acknowledged that an immortal of many years must be in want of a good place to store their bloody stuff. “Buggering fuck,” says Hob. In which the British Museum has paintings of a questionable provenance, and Hob Gadling really should've kept a closer eye on some of his belongings.

For Want of Caution

by mayanpaw

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.

In the arms of Morpheus | Dans les bras de Morphée.

by aalisse

Attraction to Dream of the Endless comes to Hob in a form of a slow, simmering fire. At times it burns brighter, other times it calms until it’s barely noticeable. It never goes away fully, partially because Hob doesn’t want it to. His companion is the embodiment of hope and dreaming. It would be sacrilege to give up hope in being wanted by him. _____ Death comes for a raven, and finds her brother. He doesn't ask her for help, but prevents her possible entrapment, so she finds Hob Gadling and suggests he do something about the situation at hand. Cue a one man resque mission in 1926, which leads to dozens of years of platonic, yet vaguely romantic dating both in the waking world and in the Dreaming. Now with illustrations in the second chapter!

Hob starts to meet the family. Or: Dream likes to wait for Hob at the end of his classes. He’s expecting to be early today; he is not expecting to see Desire sitting in the front row.

Spite (Is As Good A Reason As Any)

by Blue_Sunshine

Hob has a bone to pick with (Dream of the Endless) and damn if he isn't going to find the bastard to have it out. ~*~ The White Horse Inn is officially condemned in 2009 and Hob, twenty years after being stood up, decides that he's not going to let that be the last word. ~*~ Or, ten years before Paul Maguire either finally loses his nerve (or gains it, perhaps), Hob Gadling and Johanna Constantine become unlikely partners on a seemingly ill-fated search for an immortal man who never actually gave his only friend his name.

Quarantine Debacles

by Picture_Yourself

An examination of what exactly would occur if one were to take an oblivious anthropomorphic personification of dreams, a rant-prone history teacher and a Zoom call filled with queer students and toss them all into one metaphorical room.

And Ill kneel down wait

by Thesuspiciousflyingjellyfish

As the night comes, Hob waits. The person that arrives is not his usual companion. But they certainly direct him to his wayward friend.
