Oh! I had an idea for a The Sandman/Venom crossover (not a fusion) here

Hob's symbiote is Macabre

Surely there’s been a dreamling Venom AU done before? I just came back from watching the Last Dance and I can’t get it out of my head.

So Hob is this journalist who loses his job after asking too many questions about the Burgess Corporation and the rumors that they’re doing illegal experimentation in their labs. This is true, of course. In the search for extraterrestrial life, they locked up various specimens for research and have been trying to achieve “symbiosis” with human test subjects. Unable to shake off the feeling there’s something shady going on, Hob sneaks into the labs and lo and behold, discovers all of these chambers with innocent people all locked up and looking not so good. After trying to break one of the patients free by shattering the glass, the alarm goes off and the patient jumps him and he only barely manages to push them off and get away, but not alone.

Back at home he’s experiencing these strange changes to his body he can’t explain. The doctors say it’s a parasite but even they can’t put their fingers as to what it is exactly. Either way, Hob goes about his life trying to get used to the sensation of something squirming around inside him.

On the other hand, Dream, the symbiote, has been making home inside his new host and is just relieved that he’s free from that godforesaken lab. It doesn’t hurt that his host is easy on the eyes either. It’s been so long since he’s met a body that he’s so compatible with so he’s pretty damn determined to keep it alive. It’s so warm inside this body that Dream’s been making sure to explore every corner and crevice to get himself really familiar.

Shenanigans occur and eventually Dream reveals himself to Hob and explains everything about how they’re attached at the hip etc etc and Hob has no idea why this is happening to him but he also can’t help but feel really turned on (like the monsterfucker he is) about having something inside him at all times and hell, he never really liked being alone anyways so what’s the harm? And Dream has also gotten really fond of his new host so he decides to stay around instead of returning to his planet because listening to Hob try to explain what it’s like on Earth and having him take him around to new places has just been so fun and he really couldn’t imagine separating from him at this point. The only issue now is how they’re going to handle Dream’s diet of human brain but they’re sure one Roderick Burgess could help them out with that.

And yes, tentacle porn in an inevitable.

So. I can confirm that the excellent @seiya-starsniper has blessed us with a Venom AU: you're the only real thing i've ever touched. Its really fucking good.

I do love the idea of Dream being Hob’s symbiotic alien boyfriend. Mainly because I think Hob would be super into it. He likes the constant companionship. He likes the fact that he kinda has super powers. He really, really likes the sex. He and Dream are very very compatible indeed.

A lot of the time Dream will happily curl up and sleep deep down inside Hob, occasionally squirming to get comfy. Hob secretly loves that sensation of movement, reminding him that his lover is there, safe inside him. Sometimes Dream will add an extra little tease during Hob’s workday - wrapping a tendril around his cock, or slithering into his hole. Hob gets so blushy and squirmy, sometimes Dream has to talk to him sternly in his deep, sonorous voice.

Dream isn't going home to his native planet any time soon. He thinks earth is very beautiful - through Hob’s eyes it is, anyway.

Hob and Morpheus would make their soulmate be so flustered with all of their fancy, old time flirting and compliments 🤭

They would! It’s their favorite past time to fluster you and the two of them are waxing poetry over you (also also Hob definitely didn’t learn poetry and how to write romantic stuff after the whole Shakespeare incident 😂)

“Well you certainly are radiant today, love,” Hob whispered into your ear as his arms wrapped around your waist.

Your body flushed at his sweet words. “Oh um thank you.”

Hob kissed your temple. “You are so very welcome.”

“Hello, my beloveds,” Morpheus strolled up to the pair of you. He first kissed Hob’s temple, then he swiftly took your hand kissing your knuckles. His eyes locked with yours as he pulled back. The sensation of his lips lingered on your skin.

“Are they not stunning today?” Hob purred.

“Very much,” Morpheus hummed. His thumb traced over your knuckles, unwilling to let you go. “But aren’t they always?”

“True, so very true.”

You turned your head. Heat wanted to steam off of your ears. You mumbled, “You two are awful.”

Hob chuckled. “How so? We are just in awe of you and your beauty?”

“Indeed,” Morpheus added. “Is it so wrong to comment on it?”

“You know what you’re doing,” you huffed.

“And what would that be,” Hob asked, smiling.

You grumbled, “Making me all flustered.”

Morpheus hummed with a smirk. He stepped closer, sandwiching you between the two men. With your hand still in his, he brought it up again placing another chaste kiss. “My love we simply are showering you in affection, nothing more.”

Your knees wobbled a bit at his other kiss, and the intensity in his eyes. You were suddenly very grateful that Hob held you so close to his chest.

Morpheus smirked at your bashful nature. “If you believe these measly comments are intended to fluster you then we have done an injustice. We can truly make you feel - as you may put it - ‘hot and bothered’.”

Hob hummed. “Oh yes such as -“ he dropped his head gently nibbling on your ear, “- love, your beauty rivals the sun, nothing can never beat its radiance.”

You immediately dropped your head, hiding your embarrassment.

Morpheus grabbed your chin, tilting your head up again. “Or say things as ‘your voice is a melody my heart yearns to hear every second, I cannot bare a day without such a sweet song’.”

Your eyes widened. You jerked your head out of his grip, turning to hide your face. The pair smiled, laughing under their breath. “You’re both still awful,” you whispered, trying to fight back on the heat ready to consume your being.

“Sorry, love,” Hob whispered still with a teasing tone.

“It’s fine,” you sighed. Yet, your heart raced at their poetic words. Such simple words and somehow they weaved them in such ways that left you breathless.

“We’ll stop,” Morpheus said softly.

“Thank you,” you mumbled.

“For just a short time.”

Your head snapped up, seeing Morpheus’s sly smile. Hob burst out in laughter, while you’re left shaking your head. Yes, they were awful but it was more so incredibly sweet. Each compliment left you whirling and you loved the dizzying feeling, even if you need just a moment to breathe.

Robert Gadling.

[lotusxpop]

Do you think if Hob does something that annoys Morpheus, Morpheus will inspire all Hob's student to write about shakespeare. A week later Hob is absolutely fuming in his office having to grade papers on freaking shakespeare and when he visits Morpheus in the dreaming Morpheus just looks at him smirking and asks "Is something wrong Hob? Did someone perhaps mention dear old Will?"

Hob responds with, "Oh fuck off you bastard, never inspire my students again!"
