Dream/Hob Gadling:

NO PROPAGANDA SUBMITTED

Bruno Bucciarati/Leone Abbacchio:

After Abbacchio was kicked out of the police force and fell into depression and alcoholism, Bruno pulled him out of the gutter and recruited him into the mafia. Even though Abbacchio hates basically everyone, he still respects Bruno and is insanely devoted to him. He canonically says "I only feel at ease when following the orders of something great and absolute" (the source of my bruabba tag) while Bruno's face is on the screen. When Bruno SPOILERS betrays the boss, END OF SPOILERS Abbachio is the first person to follow him. He says "I've never had a home or a place I've wanted to go. The only time I'm at ease is when I'm with you, Bucciaratti." 

tl;dr your honor they're gay

Thanks to @chaosheadspace for the title ❤️

-------------------------

Hob leans against the doorframe, watching with a fondness as Dream studies himself in the bedroom mirror. He's dressed in a grey shirt, and those absolutely criminal skinny jeans he found at the shops last week.

He has the hem of his shirt pulled up to his chest, staring at the line of dark hair on his belly. Fingers lightly grazing it occasionally.

Dream has been retired for a few months now and is always discovering new parts of his body that he'd never noticed before, much to Hob's delight. And sometimes embarrassment, though most of that had been quickly squashed soon after Dream had shown up to Hob's flat.

"Hello handsome."

Dream's head snaps up, startled, from where he had been focused. He makes no move to pull his shirt down, Hob notices.

He walks up behind Dream to wrap his arms around him, resting his head on his lover's bony shoulder. Dream relaxes into his hold.

"What were you doing?" Hob turns and kisses his neck.

Dream runs a finger over his own abdomen. "I noticed it earlier this morning. While I was changing my clothes. I'm not certain how I feel about it."

"That's okay." Hob tightens his arms around him. "I can show you how to shave it, if you'd like. Or we can look into something else to get rid of it."

Dream nuzzles into his hair. "What about you?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you like it?"

Hob moves a hand down to run his fingers along Dream's fuzzy abdomen. He shivers in his arms.

He noses behind Dream's ear, "I love it, duck."

Dream turns in his arms to capture his lips in a searing kiss, one hand coming up to bury itself in Hob's hair, the other resting on his chest.

Hob walks them over to the bed, gently pushing Dream down onto it, breaking their kiss slightly before he climbs onto the bed as well, hovering over his lover.

"Truly?"

Hob runs his thumb across a cheekbone. "Truly, dove. I love every part of you."

Dream smirks, "How much?"

"Cheeky thing. I'll show you how much."

Hob kisses at Dream's cheeks and neck as he makes his way down his body. Dream's body lurches as he reaches up to snatch a pillow for his head. Once a king, always a king. Hob snorts and Dream lightly smacks at his head in response.

Hob acquiesces to his lover's will, pulling Dream's shirt up to kiss and lick at the newly discovered hair there, following it down to where it disappears under his jeans.

Fin.

Dream listens as Hob chatters excitedly about how navigation has changed drastically in the current century, basking in the storyteller’s cadence of his friend’s voice.

Want to get a letter written by Hob Gadling? Either to you or addressed to Dream? It can also be shippy if you want to, then just sent me a message and I will make it happen.

There is no obligation at all to sent a letter back. I just want to make people happy by sending them letters written by their favourite character. Just sent me a quick message when the letter arrives so I know the post service did it’s job and I’m happy.

Things I can do:

Give some encouragement or cheering up for everyday problem. Who wouldn’t want Hob’s help to get through exam stress.

Write a heart-fallen letter to Dream either as friends, in a relationship, to make up after a fight. Basically your own little fanfic just written by hand and sent via snail mail

Do fun stickers and papers. I know some people prefer a clean letter look, but I have a lot of scrapbooking stuff and I can easily throw together something to a given them if you like. Or I can just make it pretty if you don’t know what you like. If you rather want a more plain letter just on letter paper but without stickers and stuff I can do that too

Basically I just wanna write some letters, be active in the Sandman fandom and hopefully make some people happy with it.

Right now I have a lot of capacity since there is not really much demand for letters. If that changes at any point and I’m overwhelmed with requests (doubt it) I will let people knew that it will take some time to get back to them and make a waitlist.

I think that’s all. So feel free to contact me if you want a letter written by Hob.

Title: Scratches Rating: Mature (M) Pairing: Dream/Hob Word Count: 496 Warnings/Tags: No archive warnings apply, Implied BDSM, cursing Summary: A coworker of Hob's unintentionally finds out more than she wanted to know about Dream and Hob's physical relationship.

“Ah Shit,” Hob cursed as the lukewarm coffee slowly spread into the fibers of his shirt. It hadn’t even been good coffee. Or hot coffee. And now Hob had to change his shirt before his next class.

“Hahaha oh man that’s going to be a look! Start the new fashion trend - academic swill chic!” Hob shook his head and smiled before sighing and reaching into his desk for the rumpled spares he always kept stuffed in the back.

“Ah - are you okay if I—?” He gestured to the shirt. They’d been friends and colleagues for years now. And Hob wasn’t embarrassed by his body or being seen, but he did try to take the comfort of others into consideration in situations like this. Especially ones that could easily be taken out of context in an academic and professional setting.

“Psh, Gadling you know I don’t care. Besides, what would my wife say? ‘OH dearest — you saw Robbie shirtless for 2.5 seconds however will I cope with the jealousy?’” She feigned an overinflated maidens sigh and fell into the dusty broken office chair across from Hob. “Oh hardy har har,” he retorted before turning away from her and stripping off his soiled shirt. “OH MY GOD. what happened to you?” Hob turned around to face the friend addressing him. “What do ya mean?” He tilted his head in confusion. “Your back!” She said pointing at Hob. A brief sting of the accusatory terror of the 1600’s welled up in him at the gesture of someone he considered a friend looking upon him in horror. “My back?” he said defensively. “Yes! Look!” She spun him around and maneuvered Hob towards the small mirror he kept on the wall.

OH.

He had forgotten all about those. Large red and purple scratches lined his back like racetracks. He supposed they probably looked pretty brutal to an outsider. Not to mention just how large the nails were that made them the night before. He was so used to pain that small things like this didn’t even register anymore. Not to mention he didn’t exactly find them unpalatable. It was quite the opposite. He relished when Dream was able to mark him like this. Was so lost in the throes of sex he clung to Hob out of need and desperation.

Hob rubbed his ear in an anxious tic he had never been able to extinguish throughout his long life, especially when it dealt with a topic that was too close to the secrets he kept as close to him as possible. “Ahhh yes that. Er—don’t worry about that all consensual I assure you!” “All cons—Gadling what the fuck kind of kinky shit are you into? No. Wait, don't answer that. I don’t need to know. Good lord man, just keep it covered.”

She laughed but her eyes betrayed the sheer shock at discovering something far more personal than she had intended to about her academic colleague on a Tuesday morning.

"Bullshit,” he said abruptly, and Dream…did not expect that. His own eyebrows creeped into his hairline; he ignored the stinging and the pulling that simple action caused. It did not matter. “You look like you’ve gone ten rounds with hell itself, my friend. I didn’t…I didn’t even know anything could hurt you like that. Just…” His shoulders stiffened. For the first time since he began to talk, he seemed suddenly unsure of himself, or perhaps of his words. “I…Would you like to come back to The New Inn? I would like to look at those cuts, Stranger. You…You don’t deserve to be hurt like that.”

The words struck him not unlike a blow to his face. Stung just as much as one would, with the added effect of knocking the air from his lungs. He could not even dredge up amusement at Hob’s unassuming 'you look like you’ve gone ten rounds with hell itself', instead staring at Hob wide-eyed.

After his duel with Lucifer and retrieving his stolen tools, Dream is injured and in pain. When he sees Hob, the man insists on helping him care for his wounds.

PRPAGANDA BELOW

Kurogane/Fai D. Fluorite:

They make me feral fr !!  at first they don't trust each other cuz Kurogane can see past Fai's mask and Fai refuses to let himself feel genuine emotion but soon enough they're co-parenting the kids they're traveling with & having each others' backs in battle.  they spend six months alone together unable to speak the same language so they're now fully capable of communicating with each other nonverbally & they're also fighting alongside each other in a full on war during this time!  at one point, Fai is gravely injured & he begs Kurogane to let him die, but Kurogane refuses & instead turns him into a vampire via a wish that makes it so the only person Fai can feed off of is Kurogane.  up to this point, Fai's been calling Kurogane all these ridiculous nicknames like Kuro-chan and Kuro-pii & Kurogane hated them all, but after this Fai starts calling him Kurogane in order to put distance between them & he discovers that he hates that even more!  awhile after that, Fai's past & his intentions to betray Kurogane & the rest of their group are revealed (including the fact that Fai is technically kinda working for the man who killed Kurogane's mother & is causing all sorts of other problems for their group now) & Fai is terrified that they're all going to hate him now, but instead Kurogane cuts off his own arm in order to save Fai's life (arm chopping *is* a love language) & the two of them finally make up & Fai starts calling him by those nicknames again <3

Dream and Dragon Hob 1

Little sketch I did inspired by the dreamling fic A Dream of Dragons by Aria_Lerendeair. Link to fic HERE

This is based on scene in chapter 4 where some of Hob’s dragon form is shown/emerging in his human form. I might refine it more if people would like.

Alternate Universe - Fantasy, Centaurs, Trans Dream of the Endless, Trans Character, Established Relationship, Fluff and Smut, Strap-Ons, Anal Sex, Vaginal Fingering, Semi-Public Sex, Breeding, Pregnancy Kink, Dirty Talk, centaur/human relationship

Hob bends his head down, squinting at Dream's pack. "Is that a cock?" he asks, sounding simultaneously delighted and baffled. Dream commissions a very specific sort of hardware in order to try and please his tauric lover.

i.e. the one where Hob is a centaur and Dream isn't. Contains nearly 7k of established relationship fluff and smut and roughly historically-accurate fake horse dick.

You can read it on AO3 here!

Look... I get that Hob is like the chillest (yes that's a word now!) Guy.. but I kinda peeved that he didn't have many bamf moments. Like dudes... he was a soldier, a bandit and a mercenary once before.. God knows if he was drafted for WW1 and WW2 too... he's a bad ass guy that is soo chill and happy go lucky. I'm not surprised if he has a hand in the underground world. Maybe he's like one of the high council things like John Wick? That would be totally cool!
