Summary
"He does not wish your friendship, Hob Gadling. He wishes to bed you."
"He—" Hob cuts himself off, head tilting slightly like the new information needs just a second to process. Dream wonders when he began to find this kind of confusion more endearing than a test of his patience.
In which Dream begins to feel things and it goes about as well as you would expect.

Summary
Hob doesn’t know what his face is doing, but Dream glances up at him and Hob can see his face soften, in that way where his expression barely changes but Hob can see everything behind it. “You have an attentive audience, my love,” he says. “Please continue.”

Summary
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.

Summary
What would happen if Hob Gadling landed on Orpheus’s mysterious island in the year 1800? What would unfold if he befriended that sad, despairing boy who thinks about death but still carries a spark of life within him? What if Hob decided to nurture that spark, returning every five years to show Orpheus that life is truly worth living?
After years of absence and avoiding his son, Dream of the Endless comes to ask Orpheus for help in finding his lost brother. He expects to hear a plea for death – because Orpheus begged for it for millennia. But this time it will be completely different – and it will be the King of Dreams who is shocked.
After all – like father, like son, right?
