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
When a man clad in all black walks through the door and admits Hob is his friend, Hob doesn't know whether to hug him or play it cool.
When it is obvious something happened, something terrible, Hob doesn't know whether to hug him or play it cool. Again.
In other words, Dream starts talking and doesn't stop. And suddenly these once a century dates are no longer once a century. More like once a week.

Summary
This was the best kind of dream, and Hob was determined to savor every moment of it.
He pressed a lazy trail of kisses along Dream’s jawline, watching with hungry eyes as Dream lifted his chin to grant him easier access, his inky hair mussed even further than its usual artistically unkempt state. Dream’s eyes were closed, which was a shame, because there was very little that Hob loved more than the way Dream’s dark eyes burned as Hob slowly took him apart.
God, Hob wanted him.

Summary
“Yes,” he says. “But—humans, do you have it where you are hungry, and you only remain hungry so long, and then you stop being hungry?” His blue eyes meet Hob’s brown ones, and it feels as though they hold a memory between them of Hob at the old inn, wolfing down food. Do you know how hungry you can get when you can’t die?
“And then it comes back,” Hob says. An unpleasant feeling gnaws at his gut, not unlike the sensation of hunger itself. “But yes, it comes and goes.”
His friend nods. “I have found that after…some time, it is no longer a unique sensation.”
“What does that mean?”
“Do you feel your skin, Hob Gadling? Your bones?”
“No,” he says.
“Hunger, too, can be a part of you,” he says.

An examination of what exactly would occur if one were to take an oblivious anthropomorphic personification of dreams, a rant-prone history teacher and a Zoom call filled with queer students and toss them all into one metaphorical room.
