Summary
After scathing words from his ex-wife, Dream is left to consider his failures that had brought low those he loved and who had once loved him. He had failed his son, disowned the boy even as Orpheus had disowned him in turn. Faced with the knowledge that Calliope was right, and with inspiration from his sister Death, he takes the old adage of walking a mile in someone’s shoes quite literally. Dream decides to spend a year and a day forgoing his power to walk among mortals as one of them with the belief that by the time he reaches Orpheus it will be with a new understanding deep enough to beg forgiveness.
His pilgrimage begins at the one place in the waking world with which he is currently familiar, the White Horse tavern, only to swiftly find out he is woefully ill-prepared. Dependent on the aid of an unexpected companion in one Hob Gadling, Dream must not only learn to be honest with himself, but honest with others as well.

Summary
In 1689, Hob Gadling and Dream meet once more, after Hob has lost everything. That night, their meeting goes on longer than expected when the conversation turns to what it means to live, to lose, and to be the fathers of dead sons. Unable to bear the thought of sending a man who so echoes Dream's own grief back into the night alone, Dream breaks his own rule and invites Hob to stay with him for a time, at least until he can get back on his feet.
The story of two grief-stricken, divorced, and widowed fathers to sons they lost too young truly seeing one another and there, at their lowest point, doing their best to put themselves and each other back together.

Summary
“I’ll guard you for a night,” Hob says, “and say I please you, you can either pay me for a day’s work, or keep me on ‘til you reach where you’re going.”
“Do you know the way to Canterbury?” the lord asks, and Hob nods.
“Oh, yes. It’s a few days’ ride, not more than three or four, by my memory.”
“Then you shall have three days to please me, Robert Gadling.”
In 1389, known mercenary and bandit Hob Gadling offers to escort a strange lord to Canterbury, and wagers that he can guess the man's name in three days.

Three Hundred Years of Longing by Opium_du_Peuple

Summary
Seven years of dreams. A rare gift from the Lord of the Dreaming, who is not usually in the habit of granting favours. When he sets out to bring a little comfort to a hopeless dreamer, Morpheus does so more out of curiosity than benevolence. At least in the beginning. Even an Endless's feelings are subject to change.
As fate reunites them three hundred years later, Dream's curiosity has not waned. Perhaps there is a reason he stayed away from her for centuries. Perhaps it is not curiosity, after all.- Language:
