    Summary

    Hob got the first 100 years free. But when they meet for the second time, now that Hob is fully convinced of the stranger's power, the stranger offers a different bargain...

    "You will live your life as you choose. Once each hundred years, we will meet, here, in this tavern, and you will tell me of your experiences.”
    “That’s it?”
    “Within the Waking world, yes. The rest of our bargain is thus: Once per year, I will come to you in your dreams, and you will present yourself to me, to do with as I wish.”

    Summary

    At the 1589 meeting, Hob is unwilling to let his stranger’s attention wander so easily. Not after Hob held off on his own marriage just for the chance to ask for his stranger’s hand instead.

    Dream does not take this proposal well. Disgusted by how Hob has squandered his immortality with the vulgar pursuit of wealth, he sets out to prove that Hob could never hope to endure the horrors of courting the King of Nightmares.

    OR

    That time Hob pissed Dream off so badly it started a sex competition between them in the Dreaming. With both of them too proud, pissed off, and horny to back down, things get weird very quickly.

    Summary

    Dream finds himself amused at the reaction to something as simple as a cut on his cheek. He isn’t shy about telling the truth of where it came from, how the Corinthian had been the one to do it, because their game is just getting started—

    And he is very much looking forward to his nightmares next move.

    Summary

    In his hour of need, Dream remakes the Corinthian.

    The nightmare feels his lord’s cool fingers press the flesh around his eyes, the whisper of his touch retreating as he steps back to admire him. All three of his mouths smile.

    “Thank you, my lord,” the Corinthian says. “It is good to live once more.” There is a familiar weight in his left hand, and the Corinthian is unsurprised to find that they are sunglasses. He puts them on.

    “I await your command.”
