Jeeves and the Amatory Dilemma by who_la_hoop for lovelokest
Fandoms: Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse, Jeeves & Wooster

Summary
I don’t know if you have ever had your torso scraped with a butter knife by your valet. There is not much in the experience to recommend it. Particularly when you suspect said valet is not entirely happy with you, and so wields the implement with more vim than strictly necessarily.
Or, the tale of how Bertie and Jeeves finally Confessed All to each other, despite – or, possibly, because of – the passion-dampening affects of Giant Squirts, thwarted wrestling, unhappy boating, rabbits (both of the Luminous and Dream varieties), an aunt who breakfasts on the ground bones of nephews who displease her, and a pair of very natty yellow socks.

Summary
Dream has spent seventy years trapped - unspeaking, near unmoving. He will not capitulate. He will not give in.
But that doesn't change that he can't help but dream too of a day of when he is out, able to return to his realm and function... freedom (in a sense) from this glass prison - though... his function... that overwhelming responsibility...
It doesn't matter... he may never get out... no one is coming... no one will help... he's alone. Even if he dreams of another world where that isn't true. It's fleeting, but he is Dream of the Endless.
And it's all he desires.
**When Roderick decides on using a spell, as a last ditch effort, to get his son back, he doesn't realize the catastrophic outcome of trying to force an entity of fantasy and reality, one with his own hopes and dreams of freedom, to conform - to create a son reborn.
AKA Roderick accidentally turns Dream into a two year old... and everything falls down from there.

Summary
Over the centuries, Hob had dreamt plenty of dreams about his friend from the tavern. All good dreams, of course.
Very good dreams.
Usually not dreams that featured either of them wearing very much clothing.
But until the talking bird told him otherwise, he hadn't considered that those dreams might be real.
(Featuring: a live Jessamy, Hob rescuing Dream from the fishbowl, a mess to clean and a happy ending.)

Summary
Hob has been around death. Living in London throughout multiple plague outbreaks and fires, as well as making a living soldiering and dabbling in banditry, will do that to you. What he doesn't know is that Death has been around Hob as well. He has no idea that when his Stranger left him that night in 1389 after their first meeting, the woman who came up to him, laid a hand on his shoulder and said, “Good luck, friend,” was Death incarnate.
Hob doesn’t know that he is one of few things in this world that has been Touched by Death and lived. Had he known this, he might not have been as confused as he is when his body slams into the floor of a dim, candle-lit cellar and he finds himself surrounded by hooded figures and a gold circle on the floor. That is all he manages to perceive before everything goes blurry and consciousness slips away from him again.
Here in the Darkness.
*
Roderick Burgess' spell does not summon Death, but someone who has been touched by Death. Hob Gadling ends up in his cellar instead of Dream.

Summary
There was a room beneath the palace that wasn’t there before. Lucienne would know; she spent countless hours walking the lonely halls as the Dreaming slowly emptied and crumbled in the absence of its lord. And while a part of her wanted to know what resided in the room, another part felt as though she would be better off not knowing.
But Lucienne was not known for avoiding the difficult and the ugly, even if it went against the wishes of the Lord of Dreams himself.
Or, Lucienne learns about the depth of Morpheus’ trauma and Morpheus begins to heal.

While Jessamy observed, she planned. The glass wasn’t something she could break in whatever small span of time she might get, but the binding circle was just paint, and paint could be scratched at by a raven’s beak and talons.

Summary
***
IMPORTANT: August 2, 2025, I will start splitting some longer chapters (15,000 words or more) into smaller ones to make them easier to read for people on phones. Old chapter numbers will be in the new chapter names, so everyone can find their places if they want. Also, there will be a few deleted scenes added (marked as new).
PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR CHAPTER NUMBER if you're currently reading.
This fic is COMPLETE. Chapter count will be going up, but the work is still posted in its entirety.
***
SUMMARY:
After banishing his lover from the Dreaming for her betrayal, Morpheus learns that she is pregnant with his child.
And that she’s been captured by a revenge-seeking Alexander Burgess.
What the both of them are unaware of is that this will set in motion a cascade of unfavorable events, causing a chain reaction that threatens the whole of existence itself.
There are four parts/separate novels in this one entry as follows:
Part I: All of This Past (chapters 1-11)
Part II: These Tender, Loving Mercies (chapters 12-19)

“Colonel,” he said finally, “if I did have information about the team, do you really think I’d tell you?”
Decker sighed from his seat on the bench next to the pilot, who was plopped in the grass.
“No I don’t suppose you would.” The older man admitted.

Summary
Roderick Burgess has the Lord of Dreams trapped in his basement, but he won't talk or agree to the terms of his release. Morpheus is alone, naked and weak in his cage, so he can do nothing when Burgess gets an idea on just how to break the stalemate. The guards are willing to cooperate.
A difficult story of trauma and recovery.

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.
