Tagged by @dragonnan - thank you! I went with first paragraphs vs just first lines, which in some cases are still only a single line (or a single word, lol).

Tradition "Dream! You're just in time!"

You'll Know You're Defenseless There's a florist he passes on his way home from the garage.

Andante Affettuoso It is pleasantly warm in the New Inn, cozy in their corner, exactly as it has been every winter for the last five years. Dream has grown accustomed to the routine of it, comfortable in the familiarity of sitting at this table with Hob, wine and conversation shared between them; it is a tradition they have built, one Dream should greatly mislike to be without.

Marriage of Inconvenience "Wait! Please!"

Without Warning Something's Dawning (Listen) It is late afternoon by the time Dream gets to the clothes left in the drawing room. Hob had spent the morning with him lounging in the sunny bay window of the breakfast nook, resplendent in the skimpy teal green dressing gown Dream had gifted him, animatedly discussing literature through the ages. It was a delightful surprise to discover this commonality between them, that Hob was excited to debate the merits of Shakespeare and expound on his favorites from Byron or Chaucer or Austen or Marlowe, and morning had passed into the noon hour before Dream realized it.

Learning From Old Mistakes "Hey—!"

Love Machines In Harmony Hob pushes Dream up against the door as soon as it's shut behind them, seizes him by the biceps and kisses him fiercely. He's managed to calm himself a little between the limo and the house and he's not in danger of popping off immediately but his fancy tailored trousers are very distinctly tented and it's all Dream's fault, the way he'd just crawled over and taken Hob out and licked and sucked him like candy all the way home—

Baby Got Back Dream is pleased to see, as he begrudgingly follows his sister into the exercise class she'd signed them up for, that at least the instructor isn't the bodybuilding jock type that has historically put him off going to the gym entirely. Dream gets only a glance at the back of him as they enter the space, but he is slim and athletically built—neither thick-necked nor thickly-muscled, nor is any part of him built like a tree trunk.

Shift to Overdrive Dream gazes at Hob in his spread-legged sprawl on the seat across from him in the back of the limousine, and he wants.

Mementos "Photography is such an amazing innovation, yeah?" Hob snaps another photo as he speaks, capturing the elegant swish of orange and white fins just breaking the pond's surface. "Still marvel over it, sometimes, used to it as I am."

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

[embroiderling]

I was tagged by @the-apocrypha, @samsalami66, @tj-dragonblade, and @five-and-dimes 😅

What's the origin of your blog title?

It's the blend of embroidering and dreamling. But also, because of @seiya-starsniper and other lovely people the "ling" it's also a cute thing.

OTP(s) + shipname(s)

Currently, Dreamling in Sandman. In Arcane, mostly jayvik and zaundads, but I have other ships, too, like caitvi, timebomb, meljayvik, hammerhound, vilko... Everyone is so shippable. Like Dream of the Endless with anyone. I have other ships, like drarry (HP), sterek (Teen Wolf), harringrove (Stranger Things), and lawrusso (Cobra Kai). I'm sure I'm forgetting ships, but this is a good list.

Favorite Color

Pink 🩷

Song stuck in your head

Weirdest habit/trait

I speak slowly and mispronounce some phonemes, and because of that random people ask me if I'm a foreign. I speak clearly a rioplatense Spanish, but for some Argentines I sound weird.

Hobbies

Reading. Embroidering. Watching sports. Videogames. Gardening. Piano. Neighbourhood activities. Ask me next year, I'll probably have ten more.

If you work, what's your job?

Research. And I'm a teacher some semesters, too.

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be?

My current job, but well paid and without bureaucracy.

Something you're good at

Being insecure 😂. And I guess being empathetic. A lot of people tell me I'm always considering others' needs and feelings.

Something you hate

Fascism. Not just in a theoretical way, I'm experiencing it and it makes me so angry about how it affects my life and others'.

Something you collect

Nothing at the moment. 10yo yam collected the Chiquitas (an 90's Argentine TV show) magazine. 12yo yam used to collect pics of cars (????). 25yo collected Shakespeare books (to Hob's dismay). Current yam had to move thrice in two years and that killed any unnecessary possession 😂.

Something you forget

Names and dates. Google calendar helps a lot with the second one.

What's your love language?

Let me check which they are. Yeah, all of them. I'm lacking time for quality time lately, but I try to do that, too. And for physical touch it depends on who the other person is, but I usually like to give and receive hugs and that kind of touching.

Favourite movie/show

Siiiigh. I don't know. I love a lot of things. I used to struggle a lot with favourite things. I can name more of them lately, but can't decide with movies or shows yet.

Favourite food

Currently, empanadas. What a noble invention.

Favourite animal

Cats 😺

What were you like as a child?

Quiet. Curious. Stubborn. Shy.

Favourite subject at school

Spanish. And Maths. And Biology. And sometimes History. I guess that's why I research in an interdisciplinary way now 😅

Least favourite subject

Physics. I never failed a subject, but this one was close. And sometimes English was a mystery for me, so those times I didn't enjoy it at all.

What's your best character trait?

I'm generous. If I know you're having a problem or need and I can somehow help you, I'll do it without doubt. There's something I can do to make you feel better? Count with me.

What's your worst character trait?

I guess being insecure about which one is the worst is descriptive enough.

If you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?

Money. I'm struggling economically so much. My salary is so unfair I'm having serious trouble making ends meet.

WIP Word Train Game

Tagged by @mid0khan, thank you! ❤️ The word this time is CARE

C, from the selkie-verse fic:

"Coffee was a terrible experience, the first time." Hob smiles. "Better with sugar, then? I remember you were drinking a caramel macchiato with extra syrup the other day?" Dream blinks at him. "Yes. You recall my order?" Hob feels his face heating as he scores the heart into the second loaf. "Er. Yes. You were easily the most beautiful person I'd seen in ages. Hard to forget." There's little point in waffling about it; they're meant to be evaluating their compatibility with this whole affair, after all.

A, from the search agency AU:

After, when they have cleaned up and crawled into one bed together, Dream lies quiet and pensive in Hob's arms, and Hob simply holds him, gives him time to gather whatever words seem to be on his mind. "I do not love lightly, Hob," he says at last, softly but firmly. "Be not fickle with my heart—" It's a plea masquerading as a warning, and Hob, always greedy and grasping, always falling too hard too fast too strong, head-over-heels-Hob, he wraps his Dream close and answers both. "Never. I swear it."

R, from the academic conference AU:

Relief and elation surge through Hob, and he dimples brightly. "Well, good. I'm—that's good." He rolls off the bed, stands. "C'mon then." They each wipe down and cleanup in the bathroom, then pirate the sheets from the rollaway to cover the inevitable wet bits in the bed before climbing back in. The digital clock on the nightstand reads 1:10 as Dream tucks himself up beside Hob; Hob dares to pull him in just a little closer and settles, calculating how many hours they'll get if they go to sleep in the next five minutes. Dream nuzzles into his chest, drapes an arm over his stomach with a sigh, and Hob drifts off with a soft smile on his face.

E, from the search agency AU:

"Ethel Cripps left for the States, long 'bout a month ago," Hettie reveals, sipping at the pumpkin spice latte Hob brought her, letting the cup warm her fingers in their worn woolen gloves. "Word has it she went to New York. There's a particular shop in Staten Island where she would have had good luck in unloading stolen items of a certain nature." She elbows Dream good-naturedly. "Best place for you to start your search, young man," she cackles. Dream allows the physical jostling with more grace than he showed yesterday. "Thank you, Hettie. I am in your debt." "Well, one day mayhap I'll have need to collect," she returns, and waves them on their way.

Fingers crossed for forward movement on any of these; I've still got stalled asks from a couple weeks ago that will help whenever I can get my brain back into gear. In the meantime!
