'All Hearts, Which I By Lacking' by Ellen Fremedon (R)

Why the fic must be read:
This story is a bit quiet, a bit understated, but deceptively so: everything from Hob's insistance that he is Dream's friend, to his attempts to reassure Dream that, yes, Dream has changed are wonderfully and subtlely done, until, at the end, you are suprised that it was only a conversation you read, and not something more. I love the details of this peice, the way that Hob and Dream play off each other and how Hob so obviously cares for Dream. The writing is lovely, the characters are spot on, and the whole thing is dream-like and very wonderful.

P.S. In case you've been living under a fandom rock these past few weeks, you should know that this year's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide stories are up for reading. There are several really wonderful Sandman stories (including one written for me!) there that you should check out. I won't be reccing any because the authors are revealed on January first (aka, once I'm done with my stint here), but if you're looking for some new fic in this fandom head over there now!
