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
“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
“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?’
