Hope!Hob and Dream have a baby AU

Yesterday I was Thinking Thoughts(TM) on the discord server and I came up with this AU so…. Here it goes!

Dream and Hob have been in a relationship for a few years now. They are very good for each other, but still haven’t completely opened up about some things. That leaves a few subjects completely untouched, one of them being children.

Hob starts having dreams about raising a child with Dream. He knows Dream can see his… well, dreams, but also knows that he likes to give Hob his privacy.

The dreams become more and more frequent, and Dream doesn’t know what to think about it. They don’t touch on the subject during waking hours, and Dream watches Hob’s dreams from the outside.

They can’t ignore it anymore. The dreams are a daily occurrence. Hob is starting to get attached to their dream baby.

Dream wants Hob to be happy and knows this is something they both want deep down. He decides, because he’s a self sacrificing suicidal dense fuck, to visit Mother Night and trade in his own immortality for an immortal child.

Death saves him last minute because damn bro you’re fucking stupid did you forget I’m right here?????

Hob is livid that Dream would decide to trade in his own life to give him a baby. He only wants to have a kid if Dream wants it too, but the both of them have a lot to work through if they ever want to consider it.

Death gathers the rest of the siblings. This is getting messy, they need to do something about it. Surprisingly, Desire actually does feel for Dream, and suggest the unthinkable: Dream and Hob need to go to therapy.

No human therapist could possibly help them! Except, Desire knows one. Dr Linda Martin to the rescue!

Dream and Hob start working through their child related issues. Death and Desire team up to find a way that an immortal child could be a possibility without them breaking any cosmic rules.

Hob and Dream decide to take matters into their own hands. Dream takes Hob into the Dreaming, where they decide to make their child out of dreamstuff mixed with Hob’s blood.

The whole process nearly gets them killed (only doesn’t because it is technically impossible).

Death and Desire go to their aid.

The Hecate show up. Everyone is terrified the worst will happen.

Actually… Hob’s blood had more than just man made immortal stuff. It had so much hope into it that when fused with the dreamstuff, it managed to create a whole new thing.

Hob ascends into Hope. Having now unlocked his powers, he can finish the process, giving birth to Defiance of The Endless. Because Hopes and Dreams aligned are able to defy the laws of the universes to foster life.

Dream and Hob decide to raise their baby both in the Dreaming and in the Waking. Hob is now Lord of the Waking World, and Defiance is the bridge between realms.

They name the baby Diana, because Hob likes the whole “D” names thing, and after Lady Di, his favourite royal.

So this is it! Fanfic Speedrun I guess lol
