Summary
He stopped mid-shout, looking on in horror. There, in a bathtub overflowing with water was the naked body of his younger twin brother. Upside down and submerged, like a log of wood in a lake. Morgan stood there shaking, his hands twitching and his breaths coming out heavy and sharp. He blanked out, could not comprehend what it was he was seeing. Through the daze, he could hear a high-pitched keening noise coming from somewhere but could not for the love of him pinpoint where it was coming from. He was frozen in terror and could not move so he just stood there not knowing what to do. At some point, he understood that that sound was coming from his own mouth. At some point, he felt himself move. At some point, he felt himself break. And yet, as a sharp pain traveled through his body as his knees slammed into the floor next to the bathtub, he felt his consciousness rushing in and his mind running ten times faster in his panic. He had to help Oli, he had to help Oli, he had to help Oli....Oh dear God! His little brother!

Summary
The Dreaming stands, but Dream... Dream is gone.
In the aftermath of the assault on the Dreaming, the Kindly Ones delivered their judgement, their punishment - for spilling blood - and yet, Dream is gone... but not yet returned. Death does not understand why. Endless remain... and yet Dream... is just gone.
Only because the Kindly Ones did not take his life that day. No. It's not much of a punishment if it was what he craved most.
No, instead, they trap him in an unending nightmare - living the moment he killed his son over and over again. Until he breaks, until he begs, until the end of time - Dream doesn't know. He just knows there's no escape. There's no help coming. He's alone.
And every day that he kills his son - just to wash the blood away again and again... He desires for this to end, he would beg for death, he wallows in despair, and he worries he's becoming delirious. The touch of his siblings reside in him, but he accepts they will never come for him. He deserves this. It's his punishment.
His siblings don't care - he tells himself... unaware they don't even know he's alive, and if they did - none of them, not even Desire, would agree.

Summary
Dream was patient. Endless.
Roderick Burgess was neither. In time, he and his followers would inevitably die or make a mistake.
Dream would wait for them to do so. And, in the meantime, he would give them nothing but his silence.
At least, that was his plan.
Until a human child changed everything.
***
AU in which Roderick Burgess is a more effective villain with a better plan to salvage his failed summoning ritual; and, as a result, Dream breaks his vow of silence.

Summary
What would happen if Hob Gadling landed on Orpheus’s mysterious island in the year 1800? What would unfold if he befriended that sad, despairing boy who thinks about death but still carries a spark of life within him? What if Hob decided to nurture that spark, returning every five years to show Orpheus that life is truly worth living?
After years of absence and avoiding his son, Dream of the Endless comes to ask Orpheus for help in finding his lost brother. He expects to hear a plea for death – because Orpheus begged for it for millennia. But this time it will be completely different – and it will be the King of Dreams who is shocked.
After all – like father, like son, right?
