    Summary

    When Hob sees Roderick Burgess wearing a ruby he recognizes at one of the man's parties - he knows that his Stranger can't be far away, and might in fact be the rumored devil in the basement the man has.

    After watching his friend take vengeance on Burgess and his captors, and after acquiring a name (and a position!) that he has been waiting centuries for, it's not weird that he has strange dreams, right? Even about castles, his friend, and a land called the Dreaming...

    (Title is Latin for Justice)

    Summary

    When a strange woman sometime in the 17th century tells Hob he's a High Priest, it doesn't take him all that long to figure out which God he serves - what else could his Stranger be but a God? That settled, he spends the next decades making sure their temple (the White Horse) is perfect, that his God knows Hob is devoted.

    So when his Stranger doesn't show up for their 1989 meeting, Hob doesn't take it laying down. Instead, he uses all the knowledge he collected over the years to summon his God into his temple - thus, saving Dream from Burgess, albeit unknowingly.

    What follows is a series of adventures as Hob joins Dream on his quest to find his tools. They may even discover something new about their relationship on the way.

    Summary

    "I could stand to see you more often," Hob says, a little bit hesitant, and Dream’s eyebrows nearly rise into his hairline.

    "That is truly what you wish?” He’s looking at Hob like he’s an enigma wrapped in a riddle, which is funny coming from a not-quite-man whose name he only learned last year after six hundred years of meeting.

    In which Dream agrees to visit Hob more often and neither of them quite know what they're getting into.

    Summary

    It's said in the Bible that when the Lord took the rib from Adam and used it to craft Eve, there upon her breast, where the rib rested beneath her skin, was Adam's name writ in the old language of angels and higher powers.

    Hob wonders, sometimes, if Adam bore Eve's name somewhere upon his person, or if she spent the rest of her life wondering if God had chained a man to her that would never love her back.

    Everyone is born with the name of their soulmate as a mark on their palm. Hob Gadling is born with a thousand titles in looping scrawl on his arm and a name on his palm that no one can see but him.
