Summary
“I had a son,” Dream answered. Hob froze, then struggled to hide his shock. “He’s…gone now.”
“I am so sorry,” Ashley put a hand on his arm. He didn’t shrug it off, but he didn’t react to it either, and after a moment, she withdrew. “Can I ask—what was his name?”
“…Orpheus,” Dream said, after a pause. “He was called Orpheus.”
“That’s a lovely name,” she said softly. “Like the myth.”
“Yes,” Dream said. “Very much like it.”

Summary
Today, Dream Of The Endless, Lord Morpheus, King Of Nightmares, does not perform his duties. Today, he keeps the blood on his hands out of view of his subjects, of his librarian. Today, he chooses to wash the blood clean from his hands as if it’d remove the stain from his soul. Dream could spare but a thought to remove the blood of his son from the hands that brought about his end, but he chooses to wash it away.
Dream Of The Endless thinks of hands warmer than his own whilst washing the blood of his son. A vow is extracted, a promise is made, and somehow despite choosing Death at every chance, Hob and his daughter give Morpheus a chance at life.

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
Lucienne didn’t know what to say, didn’t know what words she could use to reach him, so she didn’t. She did not rush to his side, but took careful steps towards him, making her presence known as well as she could until she was at his side, crouching beside the Dream-King. “My Lord?”
In which Lucienne cares for Morpheus so very deeply, and he finally allows her to do so.

Summary
“We are not here to talk about me, Hob Gadling, we are here to talk about you,” says Dream, “as we always have. Tell me then, how have you been keeping? How have you decided to fill your days now?”
He notes something shrewd and playful in Hob’s eyes, senses a game. You don’t get through an eternity in a family of seven without being able to tell when a game was afoot. “Tell you what. Instead of sitting around and talking about what it’s been like for me, why don’t I show you how I usually spend a nice Friday afternoon?"
“Show me?” says Dream, though internally he thinks, ‘It’s Friday?’
