Summary
It's not that Arthur doesn't enjoy his boring job (because he does), and it's not that Arthur doesn't have hobbies (because he does), and it's not that Arthur doesn't experience a surprising number of romantic prospects cropping up (because he does); it's just that he's not happy for no reason, and he can't stop texting his tailor.

Summary
Hob's beloved stranger comes back to him, but he seems... changed. Damaged. Hob wants to help, but it's hard when his friend can barely even admit that he's hurting.
It's hard to come home and find home destroyed, everything you created gone, the pieces you crafted of your own soul turned against you. Dream barely wants to think about it. But if he is ever to create again, he's going to have to let that pain in.

Summary
In 1916, Hob is summoned by Roderick Burgess. One hundred and six years later, he is rescued by Dream. Soon after that, he finds himself in love and engaged to the King of Dreams and Nightmares, and now it's just happy days for the rest of their Endless existence, right?
Well, it turns out that when you get engaged to a king, it comes with baggage, such as being given titles, being knighted, and entertaining delegations from Faerie. And when the king is captured by a mysterious Order, suddenly you're standing there as Lord Protector of the Dreaming, having to balance saving a magical realm with saving your fiancé. Easy peasy.

Summary
When Hob Gadling made a drunken deal with a mysterious man in a pub, he didn’t expect anything to come of it. Waking up the following morning with a golden mark on his wrist was a shock, though less than finding out that he couldn’t die. Who had he made a deal with, and what did he want? His Stranger was far from forthcoming, so he’d have to figure it out himself. That his mark was not just a passkey to an underworld of supernatural beings but the sign that he wasn’t meant to spend eternity alone was enough to send him down paths he never knew existed and ask more questions than were answered. Who, or more importantly what was his Stranger, and did the mysterious man know who Hob was destined for?
(An AU where only immortals have soulmarks that mark their species/type as well as their partner, and Hob has something no one has seen before)
