Relationship: Dream of the Endless | Morpheus/Hob Gadling

Characters: Dream of the Endless | Morpheus, Dream of the Endless, Hob Gadling

Additional Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Dream can have a gender, as a treat, Dream of the Endless | Morpheus is Bad at Feelings, Lack of Communication, Idiots in Love, I cannot stress enough that nobody in this fic has any emotional intelligence, they're all idiots, idiots who don't talk about their feelings until shit goes tits up, LITERALLY, Happy Ending, Body Horror, kinda? tagging anyway cause better safe than sorry

Summary: "I am. Endless. But there are still... things that I am Not."

'Lovable' is at the top of the list, he thinks, though 'wanted' isn't far behind.

'Woman' is on there somewhere too, apparently.

And now for something completely different. But if it’s yet another gay ship, how different can it really be?

Much like with Steddie, I fell for this pairing sight as yet unseen. I’ve never watched The Sandman. Never listened to the audiobook(s). Never read the comics. But someone posted cute fanart. And dammit, I am weak.

Y’all know gender fuckery is one of those fic subgenres I adore, and I feel like this fandom/pairing is particularly well-suited for it. Just the fact that endless, ethereal beings could have gender at all (Desire notwithstanding) is pretty interesting. And Dream trying to be something else, only for it to be just… wrong wrong wrong, ugh. My little Enby/Gender-Fluid heart just breaks for him. Because I know that feel. I’m sure a lot of us know that feel, even if we are only squishy humans and not Endless. Also I love the Author’s note at the end. Definitely shouldn’t be that hot of a take - it makes perfect sense to me!

Dream is absolutely precious in this, in his gender conflicted glory. And Hob. Hob Motherfucking Gadling. I am officially crowning him as my Sandman Blorbo. That man is a saint. He certainly has the patience of one, at least. The care he shows to Dream in this fic is just everything. When his first concern when he finds Dream after their… encounter(?) is if Dream is okay, if he hurt Dream… I cannot. And I love that, despite him being several hundred years old (and Dream being several millennia), their communication skills still need work, lol. They may be an immortal human and the immortal personification of Dreams, but they really are just like us.

This is a beautiful story.

Next Week: Spacedogs time again! And this one’s a doozy. I mean, with how obsessed with space Adam is, canonically even, it somehow makes absolutely perfect sense to have an AU where Nigel is an alien, right? It’s soft, romantic, slightly silly, and sexy as hell.

Stay tuned!

DO STAR WARS FOR YOUR ASK THINGY

I have so many blorbos in Star Wars but here we go!!!

blorbo (fav character/who I think about the most): none other than the space dilf himself Kanan Jarrus. I literally think about this man and his child and his wife and his family once a day. Obi Wan was an extremely close second.

scrunkly (character that gives me cuteness aggression): I'm trying very hard to not make this entirely about Rebels characters but guys... Ezra. Look at him your honor. Hes my son. i’d also put Luke from New Hope here sjsksk

scrimblo bimblo (underappreciated fave): clone 99 :'') hes so precious.

glup shitto (obscure fav): hes maybe not super obscure but i love my man Embo. Had an action figure of him when I was a kid and proceeded to lose my mind whenever he popped up in clone wars.

poor little meow meow (absolutely pathetic and "problematic fav"): I mean obviously it's my pretentious gay war criminal Thrawn. Hes such a silly little meow meow firing on civilians and being in denial about being in gay love with Eli Vanto.I’d also put Anakin here.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun): oh easily Kylo Ren. Id get a kick out of it. Cant stand that emo Anakin knock off.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): Palpatine. cause he's a dick.
