Summary
This story takes place in the waking world, or as mortals insist on calling it… the real world, as if the other realms hold no importance in their daily lives, in their choices, in their dreams.
To mortals and humans in particular the realms other than theirs are of no concern to them, their passage through the landscape of Grey Realm do not affect them, don't define them.
As if what happens to them, in them does not matter.
Black Winged Death was trapped in this version of All Seeing Destiny’s book.
Her wings are bound and the road to the Sunless Lands is concealed from her eyes, her Ankh stolen.She was alone and cold, even if time itself wouldn't bring her to madness, the silence and solitude hurt.

In the house that sleeps by Ellipsisdream

Summary
Before the stars learned how to shine, before Nada, before history had a name, Lord Morpheus was in love. With a mortal woman, out of all people. And like all mortal things, she was lost. To time. To pride. To rules older than gods.
Now, she walks the world again.
Her presence threads through the Dreaming like a forgotten chord, and as her memories resurface, the realm begins to fracture around her. Dream feels it with every shift: the slow unraveling of a world he once ruled, and the return of a love he cannot contain.
So the question is no longer if he will break the rules.
It’s when.Series

Summary
It begins with a song followed by silence.
With a father who feared grief more than death, and a son who suffered because of it.Centuries later, in a London tavern in 1889, two strangers meet again: Dream, endless, unknowable and Hob Gadling: an immortal man, impossibly hopeful. Both of them stubborn. Both of them aching for something they can’t quite name.
What begins as curiosity slowly becomes something deeper: a love that stretches through time. Through change. Through laughter and loss, through the building of a family and the beauty of choosing to live fully.
This is the story of Morpheus and Hob, of dreams and devotion, of quiet conversations and fierce promises, of love blooming in the cracks left by sorrow.

Let's Go Steal A Dream! by maidenimage

Summary
📝 Aziraphale and Crowley (Good Omens) have just been assigned as the personal “angel and demon on the shoulder” of one Neal Caffrey (White Collar), an infamous white-collar criminal and con man who recently died under suspicious circumstances. With a question mark for an Afterlife assignment (his soul was marked neither for Heaven nor Hell), Neal has been sent to The Dreaming (The Sandman) as a minor Arcana to determine his fate. Being their first time meeting, sparks immediately fly between Aziraphale and Crowley, and their flirtatious banter distracts them from being effective in their celestial roles of mentorship. Unable to kick his old criminal habits, Neal uses this opportunity in the Dreaming to “heist” the dreams of FBI Special Agent Peter Burke to help him solve Neal’s murder in the Waking World. Hilarity, drama, and (possibly) romance ensues.
🧚 This fic is a part of the Good Omens Fairy Tale Bang. As our story is set in the world of The Sandman, it is more of a dark fairy tale than the polished vibe you might expect. The mood overall is, however, very light and comedic.

Summary
It feels strangely vulnerable to have Mazikeen in her library for the first time, vulnerable in a way that sharing her body with the demon never has felt. But perhaps that shouldn’t come as a surprise. In a fundamental way, Lucienne’s library is far more the host to her soul than her four-limbed form is.

An interlude.

Summary
The prompt, from Saz (orionsangel86/bluestar86):
Due to a certain situation involving the key to Hell, the Dreaming is hosting a vast party of Gods and Goddesses, Angels and Demons, and strange beings of Order and Chaos, to name a few.Lucienne, being second in command, has been busy making sure everyone is comfortable, putting together the preparations for a successful banquet, and making sure no unwanted guests mess up her precious library.
Finally the days events have come to an end, and the guests have settled down in their chambers (although Lord Morpheus will be busy throughout the night). Lucienne just wants to put her feet up and read a good book - Rose's latest novel looks quite thrilling! - but her night isn't quite over, as someone has come to visit the library out of hours, and Lucienne is perhaps in for more thrills than just Rose's book!
