What Is Immortality If Not a Series Of Losses by itsaseamonster

Summary
Six hundred years. Seven meetings. Countless dreams. And in them, Hob forgets to pretend he doesn’t want more—because the only constant in his long, immortal life has always been his friend.
- A fix-it Dreamling fic I started writing even before watching season 2.
- We follow Hob from the very beginning.
- Every chapter is character development *jazz hands*
- Centuries of pining, bad decisions, and unbuttoned shirts.
- Real plot starts happening in chapter 3!
- Hob has a lot of dreams! I wonder why! (from chapter 4)
- Extremely self-indulgent. Probably turns into a buddy comedy with will-they-won't-they energy. (They will.)
- Slow burn? Absolutely. Smut? Eventually. Emotional devastation? Without a doubt.
- A lot of hurt no comfort but it has a happy ending, I promise!
- English is not my first language and this is not beta read, we die like Hob doesn’t -

Summary
This story takes place in the waking world, or as mortals insist on calling it… the real world, as if the other realms hold no importance in their daily lives, in their choices, in their dreams.
To mortals and humans in particular the realms other than theirs are of no concern to them, their passage through the landscape of Grey Realm do not affect them, don't define them.
As if what happens to them, in them does not matter.
Black Winged Death was trapped in this version of All Seeing Destiny’s book.
Her wings are bound and the road to the Sunless Lands is concealed from her eyes, her Ankh stolen.She was alone and cold, even if time itself wouldn't bring her to madness, the silence and solitude hurt.

Summary
When Cassandra was a child, she always dreamed about living the life of the characters of the stories she read about. She wanted adventure and freedom and all the things children dream about. “You’re dreams will come true, if you want it” her mother used to say.
But growing up, Cassandra changed and also her books did, and slowly the stories she read were not anymore those stories about little fairies and witches. Those stories were about pain and suffering and people being cruel to other people.
And slowly stories and dreams started not having meaning to her, and it seemed that she lived in one of those stories.
But time is slow, and by the end of the book, she understood she was the only one who could write her story.please be nice this is my first fanfiction and english isn’t my first language.

Summary
He is the King of Dreams. She is the one dream he cannot wake.
In the infinite halls of the Dreaming, the ever-shifting tapestry of mortal hopes and nightmares have begun to fall apart. Palaces collapse into oceans; familiar landscapes rot into wastelands; dreams turn inside out. When Morpheus discovers the cause: a mortal woman who walks his realm as if it belongs to her. She bends the dreamscapes without knowing, then vanishes like mist.
In the waking world, she lies in an unyielding coma—her body still, her soul roaming free. She moves through his dominion like a phantom, bending the dreamscapes without knowing, her presence a dangerous, intoxicating storm. Each attempt to wake her leaves him more entangled, her absence cutting sharper than any blade. Every attempt fails, as though something—or someone—holds her fast between worlds.
What begins as an act of duty grows into something far more dangerous: fascination. The King of Dreams finds himself drawn to her, her strange power, her fragile mortality, and the unfathomable connection between their fates. Sometimes even the King of Dreams must face a dangerous truth: some dreams are not meant to be woken.

Summary
He found her light irresistible. It shone brighter against his eyes than any sun, than any galaxy he traveled to. It intrigued him, both in body and mind. His body betrayed him though. Being drawn to her light awakened the most insatiable part of him, the overwhelming need to join with her, to pleasure her, to keep her all to himself.
He’d been here before and it did not end well. It became one of his biggest regrets in his eternal existence. Could he possibly let it happen again? He fortified himself, prepared to disappear and leave her and never return…

Summary
Before the stars learned how to shine, before Nada, before history had a name, Lord Morpheus was in love. With a mortal woman, out of all people. And like all mortal things, she was lost. To time. To pride. To rules older than gods.
Now, she walks the world again.
Her presence threads through the Dreaming like a forgotten chord, and as her memories resurface, the realm begins to fracture around her. Dream feels it with every shift: the slow unraveling of a world he once ruled, and the return of a love he cannot contain.
So the question is no longer if he will break the rules.
It’s when.Series
