Curse of the Green Hag by Moorishflower
Fandoms: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
27 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
“For the crime of attempting to parlay, the hag has cursed me to fall prey to my most bestial urges. Either to secret myself to the woods and there lose my mind, or else to succumb to overwhelming desire for the first creature to touch me. It is why…” Here, a spark of Xenk’s old self-righteousness flares in his eyes. “...I begged you not to touch me. And now here we are.”
“In my defense, you weren’t really coherent,” Ed says weakly.
Three months after the defeat of Sofina, Xenk shows up on Ed's new doorstep needing help with a very specific curse.

Summary
Ed leaned forward and put his head in his hands. “This is ridiculous. You know that, right?”
“Eh, I think you’ve done weirder things.”
“Weirder than marrying a paladin and infiltrating a cult together?”
Holga shrugged. “You’ve done a lot of weird things. Don’t make me list them all.”
or: xenk needs edgin's help to take down a cult. absolutely nothing can go wrong. right?

If not by faith by Moorishflower

Summary
There comes a day in every man's life when he has to look at the circumstances of his existence and decide whether he wants to keep fighting.
For Ed, that day comes when the frost giants attack Bryn Shander.
"We are getting the fuck out of Ten Towns," he tells Holga.
When frost giants attack the city of Bryn Shander in 1491, Ed and Holga make the decision to take Kira and make the perilous journey south to Mornbryn's Shield, where they hope to start a new life away from the unpredictable Ten Towns and the memory of Edgin's wife. Along the way they meet a paladin of Ilmater who agrees to escort them as far as Mirabar, setting off a chain of events that will have Ed questioning his beliefs, evaluating his relationship with his daughter, and perhaps even let him heal enough to finally find happiness again.

Perception Check (Roll for Romance) by kaydeefalls for Prinzenhasserin
Fandoms: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
25 Dec 2023
Tags
Summary
"I bet Xenk fucks like a metronome, too. You know." Holga makes a highly suggestive, repetitive gesture. "In, out. In, out. No variation. Same exact rhythm every time. Boring."
Edgin stares at her, torn between horror and fascination. "You've really thought about this, huh?"
(So has he. Unfortunately.)

Infernalverse by handwrittenhello, musicdefinesusall, stele3
Fandom: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
22 Jun 2023
Summary
This is based on a non-human!Edgin AU started by stele3 and joined by handwrittenhello and musicdefinesusall. FTR, if anyone else wants to play in the sandbox, feel free!
Tasty Morsels by stele3 is the first fic, told from Holga's POV.
in the mouth of the devil by handwrittenhello branches off from Chapter 4 of Tasty Morsels and imagines what might have happened if Xenk took more...drastic actions.
Binding Mistakes by musicdefinesusall also branches off and plays with binding spells!
Different Hungers by stele3 is a direct sequel to Tasty Morsels and does not follow the canon of Binding Mistakes or in the mouth of the devil.

Tags
Summary
As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:
--His clothing was expensive and stylish;
--He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
--His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
--He looked angry;
--He was wearing sunglasses.What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

Summary
The rumor that Hob Gadling, the human who tricked Death herself into granting him immortality, has finally decided he's lived long enough and consented to die is sweeping through the supernatural community like wildfire. It even spreads to the Dreaming, where Dream handles it about as well as could be expected.
It is, to say the least, a bit of a shock to Hob Gadling himself, who is still very much alive- and increasingly in need of rescue.

Summary
It had happened slowly, so many months chipping away at the cold façade, and Hob knows now that Dream is so much more than the person he pretends to be. He likes soft things, sweet things, likes having his hand held, and his hair played with. For all that he pretends to be indifferent, there's been a new bouquet of flowers on the counter at The Dreaming every two weeks since Hob had gifted him that first bunch of daffodils.
Dream is a little bit broken. Hob likes to fix things. They fall in love.

Never Refuse You by Dira Sudis (dsudis)
Fandom: The Sandman (Comics), The Sandman (TV 2022)
09 Nov 2023
Summary
In 1689, Dream makes the fateful choice to bring Hob into the Dreaming and bestow upon him a title. This changes very little, right up until it changes everything.
(An AU that is mostly canon compliant until after the end of The Kindly Ones, and then turns out to be a fix-it after all. The happy ending is coming, I swear! Eventually!)

Summary
"I have spoons in my flat," Hob added, feeling a little reckless with the surge of probably-unneeded adrenaline. "Loads of spoons."
His friend raised his eyebrows at that, and jerked his hand away from the spoon on the table, but he didn't follow it by walking out, so Hob hadn't gone too far.

Summary
“Kneel,” said Dream.
Hob knelt before him. Dream pressed his own thumb to his lips and wet it. He took Hob’s chin in the other hand and tilted his face up. “Some do this with ash. To acknowledge death. Mortality. It would not befit you,” he said, and smudged his wet thumb in a sign upon Hob’s forehead. “Now you wear my mark,” he said.
“I have always worn your mark, my Lord,” said Hob.
“Then remember you are mine and to me you shall return,” Dream said.
On the look of stained glass, the smell of churches, the taste of your friend’s mouth, and the feeling of receiving a sacrament several centuries overdue. Or: the entirely accidental but inevitable divinity of Hob's devotion.

Summary
There are consequences to being caught in nightmares not your own, in the tormented memories of beings infinitely more powerful than you. Hob Gadling doesn't care. Nightmares can't kill him. And if this was ever real, he has no choice but to try and fight it now. To show ... to show his friend that he would have rescued him. If he'd known. He would have tried, no matter what it cost.

Summary
“You know what kept me going, century after century?” Hob is angry enough, desperate enough, that his voice drops low, quiet. “Even when I had nothing?”
The music around them crests, waves crashing against the unyielding shores of time –
“Chimneys,” Morpheus answers, bland.
Oh, what a bastard.
--------------------
Or, dreams are memories, Hob reflects about life, and Morpheus learns a thing or two about what it means to be saved, and to be loved.
