Summary
It’s 1959, and Hob Gadling is working at a London auction house, amazing his colleagues with his uncanny knowledge of art and artifacts from the 14th century on. When he gets the assignment to catalogue a family library at a place called Fawney Rig, he looks forward to a working vacation in the country. What he finds is a house with a preternatural chill where odd disturbances happen daily, an ornate carved door with a secret clearly hidden behind it, and visions of his mysterious stranger every time he turns around.

Summary
Problem Number One: Dream was cursed.
Problem Number Two: Dream had to get married before the full moon tomorrow night.
Problem Number Three: There was an angry fae queen and a very large line of potential suitors in front of him, and behind him.
Hob Gadling cracked his proverbial (and literal) knuckles. Time to get to work then. Because no one was going to marry Dream, except for him.

Summary
“And..” Hob pauses, “this was good for you? It’s what you wanted?”
Dream closes his eyes and sighs out a breath he doesn’t need, if only to make another attempt at dislodging the rock in his chest. He knew what would happen when he approached his previous lover. He knew their nature, and he’d done it anyway. This is his fault.
He just wishes the hole inside of him would fill. He despises feeling so hollow.
“Oh,” Hob breathes then, as if understanding some complex problem that Dream himself cannot see, and the frown deepens. “Oh, you’re in a bad drop, aren’t you, love?”
----
In which Dream has a knack for self-destruction, but at least Hob knows how to handle it.Bookmarked by warmfireplace
