Summary
In a strange coffee shop beyond time, Morpheus meets Paige, a lost and lonely Dreamer troubled by her forgotten past. Together, they encounter familiar faces and embark on a heartfelt journey of friendship, healing, and self-discovery.
Contains spoilers for the Sandman series finale ("A Tale of Graceful Ends") and the show in general. Which absolutely wrecked me emotionally. So. You know. I had to write a nice little epilogue for it.

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
Hob Gadling was celebrating beating Death herself at a game of dice (he only cheated a little) when he loudly declared to his compatriots that he is never going to die. It's what prompts his beautiful Stranger to materialize over his shoulder, proposing... a wager, of sorts. They'll just have to keep meeting century after century if his Stranger is ever going to collect.
Hob supposes they've both lost after he's left drinking alone in 1989. So thirty-some years later, when his Stranger rematerializes with an apology and little explanation, there's hardly pretense to resume where they left off. There just remains the task of figuring out the rules of whatever game they're playing now.
Or: the Vampire AU in which Hob learns that Dream is exactly the supernatural creature he suspects, fairy tales are exactly as bloody as their origins suggest, and Twilight is never, not ever, to be cited as an authoritive source on things tall, goth, and brooding.

Summary
The next time Hob "Goldlin" sees his stranger after the 1889 disagreement, he's gagged with mostly decorative chains at a dirty party at Fawney Rig in the late 1920s, lasciviously.
That wasn't his stranger.(Or rather: who needs crystal spheres with runes when you have necklaces that suppress consciousness and memories?)

Summary
Année de Grâce 1389
Toi, Robaert de Gatlin, surnommé "Hob" par ceux qui t'aiment et le "Sans-Exploit" par ceux qui te méprisent, n'est à présent plus rien. Ta carcasse ramolie d'alcoolique endeuillé se traîne se tavernes en tavernes, s'écroulant dans des mottes de foin ou pourrissant dans ta demeure qui tout comme toi tombe doucement en ruine. D'autres esprits moins perspicaces seraient incapables de déceler ton potentiel, mais moi je l'ai vu. J'ai perçu cette étincelle morte dans tes yeux ; celle d'un homme qui n'a plus rien à perdre et c'est exactement ce dont j'ai besoin pour réparer mes erreurs. Mais il a fallut que mon frère s'en mêle...

Summary
You can really understand why people named our galaxy the Milky Way out here, the wisps of gas and dust pour out in a waterfall across the sky. Blacks and blues and dark purples and whites. Stars–blue-white and yellow-white and some almost orange–glitter across the entire sky.
The only sound for miles is the murmur of nocturnal wildlife. Even the wind has decided to go to bed.
Yeah, this is why he moved out here. There isn't a sign of another human for miles and miles and-
As he is literally thinking about the lack of people, the sound of a motor in the distance hits his awareness and he curses. “God fucking-”
It is getting louder.
Fast.
