Summary
Hob Gadling - Robbie Grayson currently- had a meeting that was missed. Truth be told, he wasn't going to accept that his friend/not-friend would miss the meeting because of a petty belief that he didn't need friends, so he was going to track him down and tell him how much of an idiot he was.
Just so happened, Hob was now in the business of finding and selling mystical artefacts which led him to the doors of the Burgess Manor because of a rumour of something powerful in their basement.

Summary
"I’m afraid we can’t release you without a carer," the doctor said. She turned to Hob's friend. "Mr, uh— you couldn’t let Robert stay with you for a couple months?"
His friend, who was now having some kind of interaction with the raven through the window, frowned.
"Two months is a long time," he said uncertainly. "I am very busy."
***
When Hob sets out to rescue his oldest friend from his century-long imprisonment, he gets badly injured, and Dream must make an impossible choice between the two places that urgently need his help. Suspense! Magic! Love! Workplace burnout! It's all here.

Summary
Hob is a patient man, and Dream is a stubborn one. Or a stubborn something, considering Hob still doesn't quite understand what exactly he is. In fact, there isn't much he does know about his stranger, and even less about his stranger's family -- so Hob certainly hadn't expected his friend's sister to waltz on into The New Inn asking if he had any apples and telling him that she was in town for work that "luckily" didn't involve him.
And, naturally, he also hadn't seen it coming when she told him that his stranger needed his help. But if Hob had learned anything in his unnaturally long life, it was that things never went quite how you were expecting them to -- and sometimes you wound up breaking into a rich magician's basement to get your friend back.

Summary
“An Endless?” Hob asks, softly, because it feels like a question that needs to be soft.
“That’s what we are,” Death responds, trying again for a small smile. “Me and D—”
“Don’t,” Hob interrupts, far stronger than he meant to, and Death looks surprised for as long as it takes him to get out, “Don’t, please. I-I want to hear it from him.”
Sympathy colors Death’s gaze even as Hob feels his face burn. Six hundred years, Hob thinks—he’ll be damned if he finds out his Stranger’s name from anyone but the odd man himself.
—
It's 1989 and Hob Gadling thinks he's been stood up. Death herself is kind enough to inform him otherwise—and, well, now Hob's got to bloody do something about it, doesn't he?

Summary
Dream talking to people? Asking for advice? It happens! Also, more minor Gault/Lucienne in the background.
The "suicidal thoughts" tag is relatively minor in comparison to other fics in-series but still heed it.
Title from "Gravity" by Coldplay.
